Chapter 192: Falling off a cliff, scoring twice
If it were daytime, Luo Xiaoran would definitely be able to notice that something was wrong with Zhang Erhe, because his eyes were filled with deep fear when he looked behind her.
But unfortunately, it was dark now and there was not even moonlight. Even if Luo Xiaoran had a strong night vision, it would be difficult for her to notice this detail.
All I heard was Zhang Erhe yelling at the top of his lungs, "Be careful!"
Immediately afterwards, a sudden force pushed Luo Xiaoran out violently, and before she could react, she and Zhang Erhe were already falling rapidly to the bottom of the cliff.
The moment her body was in the air, Luo Xiaoran thought of Wang Cuihua and wondered if there was a pool of water at the bottom of the cliff.
After this thought flashed through her mind, the whistling sound of the wind in her ears and the pain on her face caused by the wind instantly brought Luo Xiaoran back to her senses.
Zhang Erhe let go of Luo Xiaoran's hand in panic the moment he fell off the cliff, and now he didn't know where he had fallen.
Luo Xiaoran initiated emergency self-rescue measures and desperately grabbed a vine on the cliff, but the vine broke.
Without thinking, Luo Xiaoran grabbed the second one based on instinct.
The moment of contact, the heat generated by the friction and the pain of the broken skin on the palm appeared at the same time, which stimulated Luo Xiaoran so much that she almost let go.
But this is impossible. If you let go, you will die. If you don't let go, you will still have a chance of survival.
Luo Xiaoran clearly understood that she would not be as lucky as the last time in Zhushan, where she fell into the pond and was finally rescued by Wang Cuihua.
There is a natural water source near the Chui Mine for domestic use, otherwise so many people would not gather here, and it would not have become a famous limestone mining site.
Unfortunately, she often came to this mountain for walks and had heard others mention that there was no pool of water below, only countless rugged rocks.
The speed of descent was still very fast. The huge wind almost made Luo Xiaoran lose her hearing. Her right hand that was holding the vine was numb from the pain.
In order to avoid falling to the bottom of the cliff and being smashed into a pulp, Luo Xiaoran decisively placed her left hand on the only vine she could cling to, and intermittently pushed her feet against the stone wall.
"Humph!"
The powerful impact almost broke Luo Xiaoran's ankle. In order to slow down her descent, she continued to kick the stone wall with both feet in pain.
After buffering a certain height, Luo Xiaoran finally stabilized her body, with her limbs wrapped around the vines and hanging beside the stone wall.
The temperature dropped suddenly in the middle of the night, and Luo Xiaoran's body temperature was rapidly decreasing. She had to get out of her current situation as soon as possible.
Luo Xiaoran looked down and saw it was pitch black. She couldn't see how deep she was from the bottom of the cliff, but she had been down there for quite some time and should be reaching the bottom soon.
Luo Xiaoran licked her dry lips, a stubborn look appeared in her eyes. She climbed down using her hands and feet, using her broken ankle and the life-saving vine.
Because the middle vine was not long enough, Luo Xiaoran switched to another one and continued climbing.
Not long after that, she finally reached the ground.
The moon never came out, and even the stars were hidden behind the clouds. When Luo Xiaoran returned to the campfire, it was already midnight.
Qiu Niang was staring at the campfire in a daze. The firelight reflected on her pretty face, making it even more desolate.
It has been two hours since Luo Xiaoran went out for a walk. If Qiu Niang didn't know Luo Xiaoran's abilities, she would have been impatient and wanted to go out to look for her.
But Qiu Niang didn't expect that Luo Xiaoran actually got into trouble and came back trembling and limping.
"Xiao Ran, what happened?"
Qiu Niang took two steps at a time and came to Luo Xiaoran. Her beautiful eyes widened and her voice rose unconsciously, then lowered at Luo Xiaoran's signal.
Luo Xiaoran slowly sat down with the help of Qiu Niang. Most of the night watchmen around her were drowsy, so no one noticed her.
"There are medicines in the bag. Please bandage my hands for me. My ankle is also broken. You don't know how to handle it. Wake up Kong Qing and don't alarm others."
Luo Xiaoran did not tell Qiu Niang and Du Kongqing what had just happened. She only said that she almost fell down the mountain while taking a walk and injured her hands and feet.
No sleep for one night.
The next morning, Luo Xiaoran responded to Zhang Changzong's questions with the same reason and said that she could not personally participate in the remaining corvee labor.
Zhang Changzong repeatedly expressed his understanding and asked her to have a good rest, so Luo Xiaoran took a nap in the logistics team.
Du Kongqing made radish soup at noon and served a big bowl to Luo Xiaoran, asking her to drink it to warm her body.
Luo Xiaoran sneezed and felt like she had a cold, so she drank a lot of hot water in the morning.
With this bowl of soup, Luo Xiaoran felt her bladder slightly swollen. She picked up the wooden stick that Du Kongqing had found for her as a crutch and wanted to find a place to relieve herself.
Tang Tian arrived at this time and blocked Luo Xiaoran with his men.
"A good dog doesn't block the road." Luo Xiaoran said coldly, holding back the urge to pee.
Tang Tian looked at Luo Xiaoran's hands, which were wrapped like dumplings, and burst out laughing. The men behind him also laughed along with him.
Luo Xiaoran didn't bother to pay attention to him and was about to go around him with a wooden stick, but Tang Tian stood in front of her again.
Seeing this, Qiu Niang and Du Kongqing, who were not far away, ran over at the same time, stood on either side of Luo Xiaoran, glaring at Tang Tian.
"Hey!" Tang Tian's shifty eyes flashed with two obscene glances, "You have two pretty girls by your side?"
After that, he grinned and leaned forward again, "It's okay if you don't obey me now! Let the two little sisters around you serve me for you, and when your injury is healed, I will love you again, okay?"
Hey!
Listening to Tang Tian's dirty talk, Luo Xiaoran felt raging anger surging up and down in her chest!
She felt deeply regretful for her suspicion last night that Zhang Erhe was ordered by Tang Tian to kill her.
She must have been overly cautious, which is why she constructed the assumption in her mind that "Tang Tian found out that she had a grudge against Zhang Erhe, so he bribed Zhang Erhe to kill her."
Judging from Tang Tian's performance over the past few days, he is a complete bastard obsessed with sex and lust. How could he have come up with a method of "hiring someone to kill someone"?
She really thinks highly of Tang Tian!
Luo Xiaoran raised the wooden stick and hit Tang Tian's face twice, leaving two purple "blushes" on his jade face:
"I'm warning you, don't think about hitting on the people around me, otherwise, I will definitely cripple your third leg next time!"
After saying that, Luo Xiaoran fixed her eyes fiercely on Tang Tian's bag of ten thousand sons and grandsons, and pointed at it with a wooden stick, without any hesitation.
Tang Tian was shocked by Luo Xiaoran's tough speech one second ago, and in the next second he was frightened by the wooden stick she stretched out and stepped back repeatedly, not even trying to stop her from leaving.
After Luo Xiaoran walked away, Tang Tiancai turned around and asked the short man next to him in a floating voice:
"Does Luo Xiaoran want me to be a eunuch?"
The short man recalled the first time he was beaten by Luo Xiaoran. At that time, all of them were kicked "there". I guess this is Luo Xiaoran's usual move?
"It seems... yes." The short man replied, his voice filled with three parts confusion, three parts uncertainty, and four parts disbelief.
