Chapter 99: Lost (1)

They say your memories flash past your eyes when you die; the revolving lantern as they call it, or maybe the will-o’-the-wisp appears. However, Ye Xi didn’t see shit. After tumbling down, the pain came so quickly that her mind couldn’t process it.

After a while, Ye Xi finally reached the bottom. She rolled a few more times before finally hitting a stone, she got knocked out on the spot.

Bing Yiyi’s luck was much worse than hers. She would occasionally hit a sharp rock on every turn, and had already fallen unconscious halfway through the ordeal.

They fell into the thick grass on the ground, because of that, their figures were covered up by the weeds. Right next to them were Wei Shenglan and company, the small group had formed a tiny mountain.

Even though the cliff was called a ‘cliff’, it was a lot better to just call it a slope seeing as it was about ten meters tall and had a thirty degrees steep angle. Though they had rolled down, it was quite impossible for them to climb up. Fortunately, the slopes buffered their fall with the addition of the weeds on the ground that had been growing for god knows how many years. Otherwise, even if they didn’t die from this accident, they would have most likely been crippled.

Instead of saying that Ye Xi was knocked out, it was a bit more like she got dizzy from the tumble. Despite her not losing her consciousness, she just couldn’t get up. Gradually, she began to feel the pain on her body. Right now, she really wanted to yell, touch her injuries to see how severe it was, but for the most part, she truly wanted to beat up Bing Yiyi.

After lying still for a long time, she finally managed to come back to her senses.

Ye Xi opened her eyes with difficulty, the first thing she saw was the sky getting a little bright.

The people who had woken up besides her were Wei Shenglan, Nan Gonghai, and Luo Nuanfeng.

The other three people were underneath them. It was evident that they didn’t do too well.

Luo Nuanfeng stood up with a bit of difficulty. After taking a look around him, he suddenly froze.

Wei Shenglan got up and went to Ye Xi, he asked her, “Why did you come down as well?”

Despite Ye Xi opening her mouth, she still couldn’t say the truth.

That she was fighting with someone and didn’t manage to win, which resulted in them falling off the cliff together. This kind of thing was too shameful to talk about.

After thinking of this, she shook her head and responded, “I wasn’t careful enough.”

Wei Shenglan then helped her stand up.

Nan Gonghai checked the others who were beneath him and nodded. “Thank god! They’re still alive.”

Once Ye Xi noticed that Luo Nuanfeng was looking around the area, she couldn’t help but ask him, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I’m just checking out the terrain,” Luo Nuanfeng replied. Then, after having said this, he pointed forward and continued, “There’s a river over there. Once we cross that river and walk a little longer, we’ll be near the highway.”

“Sure.” Ye Xi nodded. “However, our top priority right now is to wake everyone up.”

“Yeah.” Luo Nuanfeng nodded in agreement. He rejoiced, “It’s a good thing the slopes here weren’t too tall.”

So, the four early-risers spent some time waking the other group as well.

After waking them up, Ding Xiuxiu was the one who reacted the most intensely.

It was almost as if she was seeing hell. She patted the dust off her clothes and pushed away the weeds. Then, she screamed, “Where the hell is this place?!”

The culprit, Bing Yiyi, seemed to be much calmer than the rest. Thankfully, nobody died. Her future was still safe.

After coming to terms with the terrible situation on hand, Ding Xiuxiu asked, “How did we fall on that cliff?”

When he heard this, Nan Gonghai looked towards Wei Shenglan since he was the first one to start the pulling.

However, Wei Shenglan then looked at Bing Yiyi. He clearly remembered that she was the one who pushed him.

Ye Xi also looked at Bing Yiyi. She snorted, “You’re gonna want to ask Bing Yiyi.”

Bing Yiyi froze. Then, her eyes turned red and she bit back, “What are you trying to say? I wanted to call for help but you stopped me, and now, you even dare to point your finger at me?”

Ye Xi raised her hand and gave Bing Yiyi another slap.

“Pa!”

The sound echoed around the area.

Bing Yiyi was dumbfounded once again. She never thought that Ye Xi would actually hit her in front of everyone. If they were still on the cliff, she definitely would have fought back. But after being under this facade for so long, she could no longer do anything to embarrass herself in front of other people. Despite wanting to really fight back, there was something that stopped her from doing so.

“You were going to ask for help?” Ye Xi asked her. She then continued, “Why don’t you tell me one more time what you were trying to do up there? Do you think I’m blind and didn’t see you push Wei Shenglan?”

“No! I didn’t!” Bing Yiyi shrieked.

Since all of them had gotten grabbed and pulled down during a fit of confusion, nobody really knew who to trust. They could only watch from the sidelines.

“Pa!” Ye Xi hit her again. “Why don’t you try lying one more time?”

“I didn’t…”

“Pa!”

“You…”

“Pa!”

At this moment, Shang Guanxi couldn’t bear being a bystander anymore. He went over to protect Bing Yiyi and stood in front of her. With a fierce expression, he said, “Don’t go too far.”

Then, Wei Shenglan spoke at this moment. He said, “It was Bing Yiyi who pushed me.”

Everyone turned quiet.

Besides Shang Guanxi, everyone was on Ye Xi’s side.

However, Nan Gonghai spoke up, “We can talk about this later. We should focus on getting out of here right now.”

“Hold on, it’s better if we call the cops first.” After saying this, Ye Xi took out her phone to check. No signal… forget it then. They went with Nan Gonghai’s suggestion and focused on getting out of this place first.

Because they were still in the mountains, there were all sorts of snakes, insects, and wild animals. Not to mention, there were plentiful mosquitoes which were buzzing around. Since the road was a little bumpy, they would occasionally step into small puddles of water.

Along the way, the small group of pampered boys and girls felt bitter.
