Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Falling Down

Song Yi wanted Jhiang Yuan by his side, so that if there was danger, he could help in time.

This was not a trivial matter, a slight misstep could result in a life or death separation.

However, Jhiang Yuan kept insisting, and he was helpless but to let it go.

Of course, he knew her purpose.

Everyone climbed up trembling with fear.

According to Song Yi, they should keep their backs against the mountain and sidestep forward.

The others were okay, but Jingjing was just a child.

Xiao Ling looked at Jhiang Yuan for a long time, unsure of what to do, but finally took a rope, tied one end around her daughter’s waist, and the other around herself.

Jingjing was light, and if she really did fall, Xiao Ling had a way to pull her up.

The rest of the adults were different, if one person fell while tied to another, both would end up falling.

Seeing everyone climb up, Jhiang Yuan quickly sent her family, including Ye Mianmian, into the "space."

She too, quietly stepped up alone.

Up ahead was a girl, quite a distance away.

Oh gosh, it had already felt extremely dangerous just before.

Unexpectedly, after getting up, her calves shook even more.

She dared not look down, feeling dizzy.

She was already wearing a lot, and the feeling of her back against the mountain didn’t seem very secure.

On the contrary, it felt unreliable.

Jhiang Yuan took three minutes to build her courage, repeatedly took deep breaths, and then mustered the courage to move sideways a bit.

She tried not to look down, but still had to occasionally glance at the path beneath her feet.

The path ahead was okay, at least it was a bit wider, and there was still a significant distance ahead of her toes.

Toward the end, it suddenly narrowed.

Her breathing became rapid, Chuyi said there was still twenty centimeters of space left behind her.

Forget about men, even a woman’s feet couldn’t fit in that space, probably only Jingjing’s could fit completely.

"Ah, help～"

She was suddenly jolted by a scream ahead, followed by a shrieking scream.

The trailing sound stretched long, and in the moment of falling, it made her shiver all over.

She kept waiting for the last sound, but it never came, as if there was no bottom below, so terrifying.

Jhiang Yuan felt even heavier, she knew what had happened, but it was too far to see anything.

She had also been moving slowly just now, and now she couldn’t see anyone ahead or behind, which really felt awful.

She had no choice but to pep-talk herself and slightly increase her speed, provided there was no danger.

On the other side, Song Yi also worried, wanting everyone to do something to divert their attention, but he was afraid it would distract them.

Jhiang Yuan was still the last one, he wanted to ask her but couldn’t reach her.

He somewhat regretted agreeing to her demand earlier.

She wasn’t sure if it was really because her speed had increased or if the people in front had slowed down.

She actually saw that girl, but didn’t dare to speak abruptly in case she startled her, as the loss would be fatal.

Moreover, there was still a distance between them.

Just seeing her silhouette was enough to make her happy.

Continuing to walk forward, she didn’t know how long it had been, and she had grown somewhat numb.

Her legs felt beyond her control, moving forward mechanically.

Damn it, there was still an uphill path ahead.

If she didn’t handle it well, that would be the end.

She was at the very back, and that girl was just preparing to go up, her face filled with dilemma as well.

But now there was no turning back, she could only continue.

This was truly a dilemma, alas!

Jhiang Yuan didn’t continue forward, choosing instead to rest here for a while.

If she went over and caused the girl to feel pressured by someone behind her, accelerating her pace,

it would be alright if nothing happened, but if something did, she couldn’t bear the responsibility.

Just as she thought this, the girl in front suddenly screamed.

Jhiang Yuan looked up and saw a man above her sliding down.

He crashed into her and they both screamed involuntarily.

Then, as expected, an accident happened.

Both of them fell down—a devastating scream echoed.

Her heart thumped uncontrollably, and she quickly pressed her hand against it.

Goodness, it all happened right in front of her eyes.

Two vibrant lives vanished in an instant—who could understand that feeling!

Moreover, she was about to step onto the scene of the incident.

For a moment, she felt like her fate was no longer her own.

However, scared as she was, she still needed to continue on the path.

She calmed herself briefly before moving forward again.

The slope wasn’t very steep but was somewhat slippery, with a thin layer of ice.

She guessed the man had slipped here, and the girl was merely a companion to his fate.

It seemed better to keep her distance from others.

That way she wouldn’t be implicated and have her life prematurely ended.

Thinking this, she unexpectedly heard a children’s song.

"Her home is in a far and secluded place, I must be wary of whether there are any big wolves nearby..."

This familiar tune and voice were undoubtedly Xiao Ling’s.

So, there was no one else ahead of her.

She was probably singing this song to cheer Jingjing on.

They had walked quite a distance, and the child must have been tired.

But there was no way to rest.

She wasn’t having an easy time either, Jhiang Yuan sighed to herself, how did things come to this.

With these thoughts, she unconsciously drew closer.

Xiao Ling was scouting ahead, with Jingjing following behind.

The little girl really didn’t have much strength left, looking utterly drained.

"Mommy, I don’t want to walk anymore, so tired!"

"Jingjing, be good, it will be fine once we get past here, we won’t be in danger anymore.

Be very careful, just a little longer, okay, baby~"

No sooner had she finished speaking when Jingjing suddenly tilted to the side.

Jhiang Yuan’s eyes widened; she hastened her steps while Xiao Ling grabbed onto a rope on her body, but the sudden force made her lose control.

Seeing her crouch down, Jhiang Yuan quickly reached out to grab her.

With her other hand, she gripped a protruding rock nearby.

"Mommy~"

The child started crying, terrified, now in a semi-suspended state.

She was scared to death; as soon as she saw Jhiang Yuan, her soul nearly left her.

"Quick, get up, I can’t hold on much longer."

"Oh, okay..."

Following her pull, Xiao Ling quickly straightened up.

The rope wasn’t long; Jingjing was fine, just terribly scared and sobbing loudly.

Jhiang Yuan helped by pulling from below to get the child up first.

Sounds came from ahead, Song Yi’s shouting could be heard.

"Jhiang Yuan, are you alright, are you there?"

"Here, safe, keep moving!"

She didn’t dare delay and was unsure what to say, but she wanted everyone to keep going, not wanting Song Yi to be distracted by this.

"Jingjing, stop crying, it was too dangerous just now.

If you had fallen, you wouldn’t see mommy ever again. Do you not want mommy anymore?"

"No, I want mommy, mommy..."
