The only relic must be very precious to her, right? Yu Songyu could understand; after all, helping others is a virtue, so she agreed to assist.
"Yes, it was over there! I remember running in that direction!"
Following the direction of her finger, Yu Songyu searched diligently, with Zhang Cuiying trailing behind her.
"Let’s check over there; just ahead is the cliff!"
Yu Songyu stood up and shone her flashlight ahead, revealing a sheer cliff face.
"Huh? Maybe I remembered the direction wrong. I’m sorry for dragging you along!"
"No worries, let’s look over there instead. If we can’t find it, we’ll wait until dawn to come back."
"I’ll listen to you, Yu Zhiqing!"
Just as Yu Songyu was about to turn around, she heard Zhang Cuiying speak again.
"Ah, Yu Zhiqing! That must be it!"
"Huh? Over there?"
Yu Songyu looked in the direction she pointed but saw nothing!
"Damn it!"
Before she could react, she felt a sudden force from behind; Zhang Cuiying had pushed her off the cliff.
"You!"
Yu Songyu's mind went blank as the wind howled past her ears.
"Calm down, focus!"
She tried to enter her space but panicked and couldn’t concentrate at all. Her fear of heights surged within her as the terror of death enveloped her; instinctively, she grasped at branches on the cliffside.
Perhaps fate had other plans; just before hitting the ground, a large tree at the edge of the cliff caught her body. However, the impact was too great, and Yu Songyu still fell to the ground below.
A mouthful of blood erupted from her as she fell into unconsciousness.
When she awoke again, it was already the next morning.
The cold of the valley made her shiver uncontrollably. She exerted all her strength but couldn't move an inch. Her first thought upon regaining consciousness was to get away quickly; after all, if a wild beast appeared, it wouldn't be a joke.
Focusing her thoughts, she entered the space again, and Yu Songyu fell into a second round of unconsciousness. The Zhiqings, led by Yang Qinghe, had been searching all night. After receiving the news, the village chief and the Village Secretary called upon the villagers to help in the search.
"Yang Qinghe, we've searched this entire forest; there’s no trace of Yu Zhiqing. Is it possible that she was taken away by a wild beast?" The village chief frowned deeply. They had searched everywhere they could think of, even places they shouldn't have. Given Yu Songyu's condition, she couldn't have gone far on her own. If they couldn't find anyone, it was highly likely that she had been carried off by a beast.
"Impossible! Impossible!" Yang Qinghe's eyes were bloodshot as he hoarsely shouted. "Wait! What about that cliff over there? Let's check below the cliff!"
Yang Qinghe stumbled forward, nearly falling over. "Yang Qinghe, why don't you wait here? What if Yu Zhiqing found her way home?" The village chief tried to comfort him, knowing that if she had fallen from the cliff, there would be no chance of survival. The death would be gruesome; there had been a villager who died in such a manner before, and the chief couldn’t bear for Yang Qinghe to witness that.
"Impossible! Xiao Yu promised she would wait for me! I'm going with you!" Yang Qinghe was not foolish; he knew that when the villagers arrived, they said that Yu Songyu had no home to return to. Regardless of the outcome, he needed to see her—dead or alive.
However, reality was disappointing. There were no bodies at the bottom of the cliff—only a pool of blood. For hundreds of miles around, there were no signs of habitation.
Everyone sighed in despair. How could someone like Yu Zhiqing just die?
Yang Qinghe knelt before the bloodstain on the ground, repeatedly touching it with trembling hands. "Impossible! Impossible!" Tears streamed down his face as nearby villagers and Zhiqings also reddened their eyes.
"Yang Qinghe," one villager said softly, "Yu Zhiqing may have really been taken by a wild beast. Falling from such a height... how could she survive? You must grieve."
"Yes, Captain Yang, we have searched the area below the cliff and found no trace of Yu Zhiqing. The only possibility is that she was taken by a beast."
"Shut up! All of you, shut up! I don't believe it! I refuse to believe it!"
Yang Qinghe was devastated, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at everyone like a furious beast.
