The two of them rested for a while in silence, and no one spoke. They wanted to find a way up, but seeing the steep and smooth cliff, they had to give up in disappointment.

The sea breeze was howling at the bottom of the cliff, and Aunt Jiang was only a small black dot left standing on the top of the cliff. The two of them called out to her loudly, but there was no response from her.

Xiaoying was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down, saying, "We can't go back, what should we do?"

Xiao Mu said, "Don't worry, Aunt Jiang is still up there, she will definitely find a way to get us up there. Even if she can't think of a way, we can always go back and find Sister Hua."

Xiaoying thought so and felt relieved.

As it was getting dark, Chu Xiaomu picked up some dry grass and branches and started a big fire under the cliff as a signal to let the people on the cliff know their exact location.

The place where the two fell off the cliff was very close to the seaside. Chu Xiaomu endured the severe pain in his left arm, cut a long wooden stick, stood on the rocks by the sea, forked up two sea fish, put them on the fire and roasted them. The fish meat immediately smelled fragrant.

Xiaomu handed over a grilled fish. Xiaoying said nothing, then suddenly picked up a stick on the ground and hit Chu Xiaomu, saying, "Wild boy, it's all your fault. We have to spend the night in this damn place!"

This hit Chu Xiaomu's left hand right where it was injured. He immediately screamed in pain and said angrily, "Can you be gentler?! It's not like I wanted to fall down, why are you blaming me?"

Xiaoying said, "If you hadn't held me, I...how did we fall down here?!" Before she finished her sentence, her face had turned red.

Chu Xiaomu said in return: "If you hadn't flown over to catch me, how could I have hugged you?"

Xiaoying was so angry that she shouted, "Okay, I saved you with good intentions, but you...you wild boy actually blame me!" After saying that, she raised the stick to hit him again.

Chu Xiaomu said: "How can I blame you? It was you who kept saying that we fell down because I was holding you..."

Xiaoying raised the stick but failed to hit him. She said, "Could it be that I am wrong?"

Chu Xiaomu said: "Of course it's not your fault."

Xiaoying said, "Then who is wrong?" Her angry look also had a different kind of beauty.

Chu Xiaomu thought that this little girl couldn't be helped if she didn't coax her anymore, so he leaned over and bowed to her, saying, "You saved my life, Chu Xiaomu is very grateful, thank you here."

Xiaoying was still furious and said, "Is it enough for you to just bow to save your life?!"

Chu Xiaomu said: "I will definitely repay you in the future."

"I will definitely repay you in the future? How are you going to repay me? What are you going to do?!"

"From now on, I will be your slave and servant, is that all right?"

Xiaoying tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "That's about right!"

Chu Xiaomu handed over the skewer of grilled fish and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

Xiaoying said, "The fish you grilled is so smelly. It must be very unpalatable." But she still reached out to take it.

Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but laugh. This little girl always wanted to take advantage of someone before she would give up.

Xiaoying ate a few bites of the fish and suddenly said, "Wild boy, why...why did you protect me so tightly just now?"

Xiao Mu was startled and said, "I didn't think that much. You're a girl, so I have to protect you."

Xiaoying said: "If you hadn't pushed me that last time, your hand wouldn't have been broken."

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if a hand is broken. It will be healed in a few days."

In the light of the fire, Xiaoying's rosy face made her look even more beautiful and lovely. After a pause, she said, "I beat and scolded you, and you told me that you wouldn't hate me. I always felt that you were lying."

Chu Xiaomu said: "Why would I lie to you? When I was little, there was a man in our village who often bullied me. But when I grew up, I didn't hate him. I even went fishing with him."

"But my sister said that there are many bad people in this world, and told me to be careful and not to be too naughty. I grew up in Baihuading, and only my sister and her friends came and went around me, so I really don't know what bad people look like. When I saw you hurt my Dier yesterday, I was sure that you were the bad person my sister was talking about."

"I...I didn't mean to hurt your Die'er. I apologized to you..."

"I asked my sister last night if you were a bad person. She said no, so I believed you. But until this morning, I still hated you."

Chu Xiaomu thought, don't you hate me now? But you just hit me with a stick. Sure enough, this is what you really think in your heart. It turns out that you have always hated yourself. He was embarrassed and stammered, "I... I have always been hated by others. The girls in the village don't like to play with me. I only have one good friend, named Yang Dou."

Xiaoying suddenly jumped up, took his hand, and said with a smile: "I understand now. In fact, you are a very good person. I don't hate you anymore."

Xiaoying just happened to pull his left hand, and Xiaomu couldn't help but cry out in pain, shouting: "I think you did it on purpose, in fact, you still hate me!"

Xiaoying giggled and said, "I did it on purpose. Do you dare to hit me? When we get back, I'll ask my sister to tie you up and never let you get down from the Hundred Flowers Peak!" She was young and had grown up on the Hundred Flowers Peak since she was a child. She was surrounded by women and had never seen any man except from the flower fairy and others. She had no idea about the difference between men and women, so she spoke without restraint.

But it is natural for a girl to have pure thoughts. Although she doesn't understand it at all, her mood has actually changed strangely.

It is the end of autumn now, the wind is blowing and the evenings are very chilly.

The two of them leaned against the roaring bonfire and talked for a long time, neither feeling sleepy for a long time.

Xiaoying was very sad when she heard Xiaomu say that his parents disappeared after going out to sea and that he had to depend on his grandfather ever since.

When Xiaomu asked Xiaoying about her parents, she said that she was raised by her sister and had never seen her parents.

Xiao Mu also became suspicious, thinking that maybe Xiao Ying was also a spirit? But he didn't have the abilities of spirits. However, the matter of spirits was too mysterious, and he couldn't figure it out by guessing, so he stopped asking.

It was not until midnight the next day that they were so sleepy that they fell into a deep sleep with their clothes on.

As the sky gradually brightened, the two woke up early.

Seeing that the fire was about to go out, Xiao Mu added some more dry grass and branches, and then broke off a bunch of fresh branches and piled them on top. Suddenly, thick white smoke rose high into the air.

Xiaoying said angrily: "Wild boy, what are you doing? It's stinking!"

Xiao Mu said, "We have to make the smoke thick so that they can see it from the top of the cliff and know that we are not dead yet."

Xiaoying pretended to be angry and said, "You are the one who died, I won't die!"

After about an hour, a group of butterflies flew down from the top of the cliff and danced around Xiaoying. Xiaoying said excitedly: "Sister, call someone to save us!" Not long after, a long rope with a stone tied to one end was thrown down from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff.

They both cheered.
