Chapter 49.3 (2/2)
“Qiuqiu! Are you ok, Qiuqiu? ” When Tang Mianmian, with a face full of nervousness and fear, found Xiao Tangqiu stuck in a tree, he finally burst into tears. “Qiuqiu, you’re still alive? I’m so happy! You’re still alive, wuwuwu!“
Seeing that Tang Mianmian was fine, Xiao Tangqiu breathed a sigh of relief. “You’re okay, too? That’s good, that’s good…” It seemed that he is the only unlucky one this time.
“Wuwuwu!” Tang Mianmian wailed loudly. “Qiuqiu, wait a minute! I’ll get someone to come help you right away! “
He left quickly, as if he was going to look for someone.
Watching Tang Mianmian’s figure disappear, Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help feeling a loss. Although he knew that Tang Mianmian wouldn’t leave him alone, it was still much better to see a friend than be all alone.
A moment later, when Tang Mianmian appeared, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The person Tang Mianmian had gotten was naturally the sporty student. Only the three of them survived this round.
The tree Xiao Tangqiu caught in between was very large, with its crown at the edge of the cliff, while the branch that Xiao Tangqiu fell on was still some distance from the top of the cliff.
There were no branches around Xiao Tangqiu that he could prop himself up with. The branches of this tree were visibly fragile and delicate. Only one trunk looked thick enough to bear the weight of an adult man.
Tang Mianmian discussed with the sporty student and decided that he would climb down to the trunk, pull Xiao Tangqiu to him, then, the sporty student would stand on the edge of the cliff and pull them up, one by one.
This was very risky and dangerous. Tang Mianmian wasn’t sure if the tree could bear the weight of another adult man. But Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t climb up by himself if he didn’t go down to get him.
Tang Mianmian gritted his teeth and began to climb down carefully.
Xiao Tangqiu was lying stiffly on the branch. He wanted to say something but he was afraid of distracting Tang Mianmian. After all, they were at the edge of a cliff. If Tang Mianmian took a wrong step, it would be a bottomless abyss waiting for him and he wouldn’t even have an intact body.
When Tang Mianmian reached the trunk, Xiao Tangqiu let out a sigh of relief, but soon, his heart started pounding again. Although the trunk of the tree was thick, it still shook under Tang Mianmian’s weight and the branches and leaves fell one after another.
Compared to those big trees that grew on fertile land and had full branches and leaves, this was a tree that grew on the edge of a cliff with sparse branches and leaves. Even the thickest branch was only as thick as the wrist of an adult man. Tang Mianmian was really risking his life to save him.
Finally, Tang Mianmian managed to climb above Xiao Tangqiu and held out his hand towards Xiao Tangqiu.
Xiao Tangqiu was filled of gratitude. The two men looked at each other, their eyes speaking a thousand words, but in reality, they hadn’t made a sound.
“If we go back alive this time, you must treat me to a big meal!” Tang Mianmian grinned.
Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “Of course!”
“I want to eat meat!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
After a brief exchange of words, the two stopped dragging their feet because the next part was the worst. Tang Mianmian had to pull Xiao Tangqiu up, and then the two had to climb back to the place where Tang Mianmian had carefully climbed down from.
Tang Mianmian was very strong and Xiao Tangqiu also broke out in amazing strength in this life and death situation. Under the harmonious cooperation of the two, Xiao Tangqiu was soon pulled onto the trunk by Tang Mianmian.
“Fuck! It’s the backscratcher!” Tang Mianmian suddenly cried out.
Xiao Tangqiu looked back. It turned out that when he was stuck between two branches, it was the backscratcher that stopped him from falling down.
Xiao Tangqiu, “……”
Should he say that it’s as expected of a divine artifact…
However, before they could relax, the trunk shook violently.
The backscratcher fell off the cliff with all the shaking.
Xiao Tangqiu looked up and saw that several cracks had appeared at the roots of the tree that were growing at the edge of the cliff. It seemed that the tree couldn’t bear the weight of the two people anymore and would soon be uprooted!
The ground near the tree was also affected by that and began to crack. It seemed that the tree roots were still deeply rooted. Once uprooted, the edge would break off!
“Pull us up quickly!” Tang Mianmian shouted at the sporty student who had stayed at the edge of the cliff.
This cliff was about to collapse. If they didn’t go up now, they would fall into the abyss with this tree!
The sporty student standing on the edge of the cliff hesitated. He looked at the crumbling ground in panic and suddenly turned to run.
“Fuck, you bastard! Fuck your granddaddy!”
Tang Mianmian cursed at him.
The newbie had left them and ran away!
