Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.
Chapter 376 Falling off a cliff
Suddenly, chaos erupted as Xiaolan seemed to step on something and stumbled forward.
In front of her was Xie Lin, who was about to get ashore. Xie Lin had already put one foot on the ground when Xiao Lan suddenly pounced on him. He didn't have time to react. Before he could find a stable place to stand, Xiao Lan pounced on him.
Before Xie Lin had fully reached the shore, Xiao Lan's sudden tackle sent him tumbling back onto the cliff.
This sudden turn of events caused him to lose his balance, and he lost his footing on the other foot as well. The two of them fell off the cliff together.
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why such a thing had suddenly happened when everything was fine.
Before Ji Yunshu could think further, Xiao Lan and Xie Lin were already sliding down the cliff. From where she was standing, there was no way she could hold onto them, and falling from such a height, Xie Lin and Xiao Lan would surely die.
She quickly reached into her sleeve, pulled out a rope, and threw it at the two of them.
"Sherling, Xiaolan, grab them!"
The two slid down so fast that before she could throw the rope over, they had already disappeared from everyone's sight. In the valley, only Xie Lin and Xiao Lan's screams could be heard.
Watching the two people tumble off the cliff right in front of her, Ji Yunshu felt her heart sink.
What should I do? How could this happen?
Everything was fine just a moment ago; Sherlin was just one step away from reaching the shore.
"Ahhh, help! Ahhh!"
"Help! Your Highness, help me!"
Hearing the screams of the two echoing through the valley, Ji Yunshu dared not even imagine what Xie Lin and Xiao Lan's current condition was.
"What do we do? What do we do? What happened to Sherlin and Xiaolan? They'll die if they fall from such a height!"
"I don't know, yeah, what should we do? Sherin and Xiaolan are such good kids, what are we going to do?"
The crowd was extremely anxious, especially Chen and Li, who kept pacing back and forth along the shore, trying to see if Xie Lin and Xiao Lan had fallen in the middle of the cliff or were hanging there.
But the further they went, the closer they got to the edge of the cliff. Both of them almost slipped off, but Xiao Ergou and a few villagers caught them in time.
Ji Yunshu was also a little flustered. She didn't have any light-footed skills, and it was impossible for her to fly down to save Xie Lin and Xiao Lan. At this moment, she only regretted that the plane in her space was not unlocked. If the plane was unlocked, she would definitely fly down to find them as soon as possible.
Thinking about this, she suddenly remembered that her space seemed to have a storage function.
She had never taken anyone else in before, and didn't know if people could be taken in. In addition, Xie Lin and Xiao Lan had fallen to the bottom of the cliff, and she didn't know how far away they were. They were out of her sight. Could she send Xie Lin and Xiao Lan into the space remotely?
Thinking of this, she didn't bother to verify it anymore and tried to use her mind to send Xie Lin and Xiao Lan into the space.
She tried several times, but Xiaolan and Xielin's screams kept ringing out, and she couldn't tell whether it was their screams or echoes.
Everything happened so fast that there was no time to react, and this was the best solution she could think of.
After trying several times, she didn't rush to the shore. Instead, she closed her eyes and used her mind to explore the space, searching for Xie Lin and Xiao Lan.
Things happened too fast; she was only focused on trying to get the two of them into the space and didn't even find a place for them.
Unable to find them inside the house, she went to the land outside, but still couldn't find them.
Just when she thought she had failed, she caught a glimpse of Xiao Lan and Xie Lin lying quietly on the ground beside the spring. The two had fainted, and their clothes were torn to shreds by the pebbles and dead branches on the cliff.
Next to where the two were lying was a box, the same box that had previously contained a thousand taels of gold.
When Xie Lin fell off the cliff, he lost control of his hands, and the cart he was holding also fell off. Ji Yunshu only held onto the cart, while the box on the cart slid off and fell off the cliff with Xie Lin.
Unexpectedly, when she sent Xie Lin and Xiao Lan into the space, she also took this box in.
Although there wasn't much inside, it's good this way, so she won't have to carry the box around wherever she goes, which would be troublesome.
She was physically outside the space, but her mind had entered it. She couldn't move Xiao Lan and Xie Lin, so she could only check their pulses and breathing. After confirming that they were alright, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright.
Fortunately, thanks to the protection of her space, Xie Lin and Xiao Lan were able to escape with their lives.
Realizing she was still on the cliff and couldn't stay in the space for too long, she went back to the villa and found a thin blanket to cover the two of them.
She simply doesn't have time right now; she can only wait until after they cross the cliff to sneak into her space and check on their health.
When she withdrew her thoughts, Li and Chen were slumped on the edge of the cliff, tears streaming down their faces, staring blankly at the bottom, still calling out repeatedly.
"Xiao Lan! Xiao Lan! Xie Lin! Where are you? Where are you?!"
The old princess was also pacing back and forth anxiously. She was old, and the road was uneven, so she was swaying from side to side.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhao supported her from both sides, preventing her from falling to the ground.
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath, composed her expression, dragged the cart with her left hand, grabbed the vine with her right hand, and walked to the shore in a few steps.
As soon as she stepped ashore, the old princess looked at her.
The old princess was a woman who had weathered many storms. She had never shed a tear when they suffered so much before, but now, seeing Xiao Lan and Xie Lin fall off the cliff with her own eyes, her eyes turned red, and she seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
In their hearts, Xiaolan and Xielin had long been a family, and they couldn't accept this situation.
Ji Yunshu felt a pang of guilt and wanted to tell the old princess that Xiao Lan and Xie Lin were alright, but with so many people around, she couldn't say it directly. She simply smiled at the old princess and then turned around to help Chen and Li up from the ground.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, get up quickly. Xiaolan and Xielin should be alright. They are both quick-witted. It's possible that when they fell, they grabbed onto something on the cliff and were hanging in mid-air. Who knows?"
"After we get past here, I'll go down to the bottom of the cliff and search for them properly."
Both Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li nodded hastily. Mrs. Chen said impatiently,
"Okay, okay, we'll go down to look for them in a bit. Remember to take me with you when you go, it'll be easier if the two of us search together. We're family, we can't just leave them here in the mountains like this."
Her tone was serious, with an unprecedented firmness.
Ji Yunshu nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll call you when I leave. Don't worry, we'll definitely find them. They're lucky, they'll be fine."
