By the time Liu Ergou arrived where Fu Ya was, he found her desperately clinging to a dead tree with one hand, the rest of her body dangling over the edge of a cliff. Liu Ergou took a few hurried steps closer. He recognized this place—it was a deep valley. He was always extra cautious whenever he came here to gather herbs, terrified of falling in.
Of all the things he had planned for, he had never imagined Fu Ya would have an accident here. Without a second thought, Liu Ergou rushed forward and grabbed her small hand. Fu Ya was like a drowning person spotting a savior; her other hand shot out and seized his collar. But her desperate move threw Liu Ergou off balance. His body lurched forward, and just like that, they both tumbled into the valley.
