The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

One of the men handed over half a piece of burnt cloth and a charred branch.

He pointed to a rock a few meters away, "Found it over there. Looks like a makeshift torch."

Xiao Hengyu took it, and froze as his fingertips touched the charred cloth.

He recognized it immediately; it was undoubtedly Su Yutang's clothes.

The subordinate continued to report, "We've searched everywhere, and the only thing we haven't found is..."

"What's left?" Xiao Hengyu looked up, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

The subordinate swallowed hard and said, "The only thing left is the cliff."

Xiao Hengyu said angrily: "Are you saying she fell off the cliff?"

The subordinate lowered his head: "I am just guessing..."

The air solidified instantly.

Xiao Hengyu slowly turned towards the cliff. The morning mist lingered above the abyss, which was bottomless.

He took two steps forward, the tip of his leather shoes hanging on the edge, the gravel rolled down, and there was no echo for a long time.

My heart tightened for no reason, and an unprecedented panic swept through my body.

Xiao Hengyu's fingers began to tremble uncontrollably, and his voice trembled as well: "Go look for him down there. Now, immediately, send someone down to the bottom of the cliff. We must find him!"

"Boss Xiao, this cliff has a drop of at least two hundred meters, and the terrain is complex..."

"I said go look for it downstairs!" Xiao Hengyu suddenly shouted. He grabbed his subordinate by the collar, with terrifying fire burning in his eyes, "I want to see him alive or dead..." The last two words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out.

He didn't believe that Su Yutang was dead.

She must still be alive!

If...if she really...

Xiao Hengyu suddenly closed his eyes, not daring to think any further.

The men acted quickly, contacted a professional rescue team, and prepared rope equipment.

Xiao Hengyu stood on the edge of the cliff. The morning light shone on his well-defined profile, but it could not dispel the haze in his eyes.

............

The wind was whistling in his ears. After falling from the cliff, Su Yutang thought he was dead.

She even closed her eyes, quietly waiting for death to come.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he was suddenly hit hard on the back.

"Crack!"

The sound of branches breaking was accompanied by a sharp explosion of pain.

Su Yutang's eyes went dark and she thought she was cut in half, but then she realized that her fall had stopped and her clothes were caught on something.

When I opened my eyes, the world was upside down.

She was hanging from a pine tree that grew out of a crack in the rock, and down below...

Su Yutang turned her head carefully and immediately felt dizzy.

It's at least a hundred meters high.

The branches shook violently due to her movements, making an ominous "creaking" sound.

Su Yutang froze immediately and even held her breath.

The collar of her clothes was squeezing her neck, and the pain of gradual suffocation made her struggle instinctively.

She gritted her teeth, endured the pain of her throat being tightened, slowly raised her arms and grabbed a branch beside her. Every movement made the branch supporting her tremble.

When her fingers finally touched the rough bark, Su Yutang almost cried.

Next came the most dangerous part, she needed to turn her body up.

The clothes were torn and threatened to break completely at any moment.

Su Yutang took a deep breath and used the strength of her arms to move up little by little.

The branches bent under the weight, and gravel fell from the roots.

"Hold on... hold on a little longer..."

She whispered to herself, not even bothering to wipe the sweat from her eyes.

When his chest finally pressed against the main branch, his clothes were torn apart completely with a "swish".

Su Yutang hugged the tree trunk tightly, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to burst out of her chest.

She survived? Really survived?

The joy of surviving the disaster was accompanied by fear. She was trembling all over and had to press her face against the rough bark to calm down.

Since God has given her a chance to live, she must live well.

There is no one here except wild beasts. She can't rely on anyone else and can only rely on herself.

She first clung to a branch to rest, and when she recovered, she looked around at the terrain.

This life-saving pine tree grew obliquely from a crevice in the rock. Its trunk was as thick as her thigh, and its roots were exposed, making it look not very stable.

There is a nearly vertical rock wall below, but there are several protruding rocks and scattered shrubs that may serve as footholds.

To get out safely, the first priority is to get out of the tree and down the steep cliff.

When her arms regained some strength, she began to move slowly towards the trunk.

Pause for a few seconds after each inch to ensure the branch doesn't snap.

When her feet finally touched the rock wall, her knees gave way and she nearly slipped again.

By the time she slowly climbed down, two hours had passed.

Her fingers were covered in blisters, and her right leg might have been sprained when she fell off the cliff. It hurt excruciatingly every time she exerted force, and her abdomen had also been scraped against the rock wall, leaving a bloody mark.

He was in a terrible state, but at least he managed to save his life.

After waiting, it was already light in the sky.

She hadn't slept all night and was tired and hungry, but she had to leave this damn place quickly.

Fortunately, I had a piece of chocolate with me. I took it out, ate half of it, and stuffed the remaining half back.

The valley floor was wider than expected, and there happened to be a small stream winding through it.

It is common sense to follow the stream when surviving in the wild. The water will eventually flow into a larger river or lake, where there may be traces of people.

Su Yutang broke off a thick branch to use as a crutch and began his arduous journey again.

The sun grew stronger at noon, making her dizzy.

My leg injury slowed down my pace, and it took me nearly an hour to get around the first bend in the mountain.

When she woke up and saw her own delicate skin and tender flesh, she had guessed that she must have a good family background and had probably not suffered much.

It's even less likely when he's in such a mess like this.

So after walking for a while, I began to feel exhausted.

I was so tired from walking that I sat down by the river to rest.

Just as she stopped to catch her breath, the roar of an engine suddenly came from the distance.

Su Yutang was shocked.

The sound came from downstream and was getting closer!

Is there anyone?

This realization made her eyes warm.

She threw away her crutches and ran downstream despite her leg injury.

It doesn't matter if she runs into Xiao Hengyu at this time. At most, she can beg him to send a car to give her a ride. It is better than being chased by wild beasts or walking around aimlessly.

The other party seemed to have heard the sound, the engine sound paused for a moment, and then became more rapid.

When Su Yutang walked around a bush, a dark green off-road vehicle suddenly appeared in an open space a hundred meters away.

The car door slammed open and someone jumped out.

When Su Yutang saw the man getting out of the car, her whole body froze.
