"Maya! Quickly! Give me your hand!" Gao Si was sprawled on the icy cliff top, anxiously shouting to his wife climbing below.
The dark-faced woman, with trembling footprints against the wall's holes, said fearfully, "Maybe we should just forget it, it's too high here, too dangerous."
"Stop talking nonsense! Quickly, give me your hand!" Gao Si shouted anxiously down the wall.
Two filthy palms intertwined in the air, and with a burst of strength, Gao Si pulled his wife up straight away.
Breathing heavily, the two stood on the flat cliff top, embracing each other for a long time; they were free, they finally escaped.
After a while, they calmed their inner excitement, looking at the ring-shaped world below the cliff, still reeling from the shock.
Just as they were rejoicing in their escape, a mouse radiating golden light slowly descended in front of them as the sky brightened above.
