Hu Xing frowned, as if trying hard to recall something. Suddenly, he shuddered and said, "I... don't remember very well."

“It’s okay if you don’t remember, I’m just here to help. You came to the mountains to collect firewood before and accidentally fell off the cliff. They asked me to help them find you.”

After briefly explaining how the incident started, Ji Yunshuang asked, "Can you still stand up?"

Hu Xing tried to stand up, but as soon as he moved, he hugged his foot again, grimacing and saying, "It hurts...it hurts..."

Ji Yunshuang checked again and said, "It's okay, the bones aren't broken."

It's normal for him to feel pain.

After all, falling from such a height, fractured bones, soft tissue injuries, and other external injuries are inevitable.

After quickly treating his external injuries, she said with a hint of reassurance, "Try again."

This time, Hu Xing stood up and walked in the direction Ji Yunshuang had instructed. However, he seemed somewhat dazed and confused, clearly indicating that the fall and injury were not just a simple case of amnesia; it seemed to have also affected some of his intelligence!

However, although Hu Xing seems a bit dull and simple-minded now, she thinks he is more...

It looks better.

She led her people to the bottom of the cliff and said to him, "Wait here for a moment, I'll climb up and deliver the message for you."

The vines she used to come down just now only reached halfway down the cliff.

With her skills, that would certainly be enough. But for Hu Dazhou and the others, it was clearly too short.

Ji Yunshuang climbed up the rock successfully.

Upon seeing Ji Yunshuang, the Zhao brothers were all excited. Zhao Dazhou spoke first, "Sister-in-law Lu, have you found my father?"

"found it!"

Ji Yunshuang paused for a moment, then briefly explained Hu Xing's current situation.

Hearing that their father (eldest uncle) had only suffered amnesia from the fall and was otherwise unharmed, the brothers breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Ji Yunshuang profusely.

Ji Yunshuang didn't stand on ceremony with the group. She glanced at the pile of vines on the ground and told them to pull the vines up and attach the newly found vines to them. She then said, "There are two options now. One is for me to go down again and tie the vines to Brother Hu, and you guys can use your strength to pull him up. The other is for one of you to go down and carry him up on your back."

Of the two options, the first one is definitely better. None of the Hu brothers are capable of carrying someone up here.

In the end, none of the brothers felt comfortable enough to ask Ji Yunshuang to make another trip.

Ji Yunshuang thought the vegetation at the foot of the cliff was abundant and wanted to go down to take a look, without thinking it would be too much trouble.

She said, "After you rescue the person, keep the vines and take the person down the mountain on your own. I want to look for some mountain produce at the foot of the cliff, so I'll be back later. If it's convenient for you, please pass on a message to my family so they won't worry."

Hu Dazhou hesitated for a moment, "Sister-in-law Lu, can you manage on your own? Should we leave one of us down to help you?"

"No need. Although your father seems to be fine now, it would be better to send him back to recuperate as soon as possible."

Seeing that Ji Yunshuang had already made up her mind, Hu Dazhou didn't insist any further. He thanked Ji Yunshuang again solemnly.

Ji Yunshuang felt that Hu Dazhou was better than his parents.

She went down the cliff again, tied the vines to Hu Xing, and then shouted for the people above to pull her up.

Hu Xing has lost his memory and is a bit dazed and confused. He has no idea how to climb the mountain wall and can only rely on the efforts of his brothers.

The brothers stumbled and struggled, and with great effort, they finally managed to pull the person up.

After watching the person being pulled up, Ji Yunshuang began searching again at the foot of the cliff.

Besides medicinal herbs and fruit trees, she also discovered a large beehive in a crevice in the rock.

Ji Yunshuang's eyes lit up when she saw the large beehive.

This is natural wild honey!

Thinking of the black soil in the space, now planted with so many fruits and vegetables, she observed the structure of the cracks in the rocks, and with a slight thought, she simply used her mental power to move the beehive along with the boulder into the space.

While Ji Yunshuang was busy searching for treasure at the foot of the cliff, the Hu brothers had already brought Hu Xing back to the dilapidated post station.

"Where is my mother?" Lu Yuzhu was the first to run to the door, and her eyes reddened when she didn't see Ji Yunshuang.

When Hu Dazhou saw the little girl crying, he quickly said, "Sister-in-law Lu said she wants to look for mountain produce at the foot of the cliff and will be back in a little while, so don't worry."

Then, he recounted how Ji Yunshuang saved people, and finally praised her, saying, "We owe a lot to Sister Lu today; she's really amazing."

"If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have been able to figure out how to get down the cliff. She's very agile; the cliff was so high, but she just climbed down the vines in one go..."

After hearing Hu Dazhou's words, everyone praised Ji Yunshuang for her skill. Hu Quan and Old Lady Hu also thanked the Lu family again, saying they would remember their kindness and repay them in the future.

Only Sun Meixiang, who was hiding in the corner, had a flicker in her eyes. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she quietly left the post station and ran towards the mountain.

Sun Meixiang went to the mountains to find firewood one after the other with the Hu family, and probably knew where the cliff where Hu Xing had the accident was.

She quickly arrived at the large tree where Hu Dazhou had left the vines.

She gasped for breath and quickly pulled the vine up. Looking at the knotted part of the vine, a venomous glint flashed in her eyes.

"Ji, this is all your own doing, so you can't blame me." She murmured, and began to tie the pine vines.

After breaking the knot in the vine, she put it back exactly as it was and quietly walked away.

She had only gone halfway when she saw Lu Yinheng walking towards her.

Her brow twitched immediately, and she quickly hid in the bushes.

Although she dodged quickly, Lu Yinheng had experienced life and death on the battlefield several times in his previous life. He was extremely perceptive, so how could he let her escape?

He said coldly, "Come out!"

Sun Meixiang was startled by his tone and stepped out of the bushes, trembling. "Big Brother..."

What are you doing sneakily?

Sun Meixiang was extremely flustered, but she knew that she absolutely could not let him know about how she had harmed Ji Shi. If he found out, there would be no chance for them to be together again.

She wiped away her tears, feeling wronged, and said, "Brother Dalang, I didn't sneak around. I... I just wanted to come to the mountains to find something to eat. When I saw you... I remembered what you said last time, so I hid and tried to avoid you... I was afraid of bothering you! Why do you always think of me as a bad person?"

Sun Meixiang covered her face, pretending to be heartbroken.

Lu Yinheng, who had witnessed her series of outrageous actions in his previous life, remained completely unmoved.

He knew she was lying.

However, he didn't ask any more questions and silently walked up the mountain.

Sun Meixiang had only been pretending before, but now, looking at his retreating figure, she was genuinely heartbroken.

Does he really cherish the Ji family that much?

Despite the safety of everyone at the post station, he insisted on coming to the mountains to find her himself.

She thought bitterly, "I'd better kill Ji Shi today."

Thinking about what she had done to the vines, she felt uneasy again. Would anyone find out?

She tried desperately to reassure herself that it couldn't be true.

She didn't damage the vines; she just loosened the connections between them. Even if he noticed, he would at most assume that the knots they had tied earlier were loose and had come undone.

The thought that Lu Yinheng was going to see Ji Yunshuang made her even more worried.

What if Brother Dalang climbs down the cliff using those vines...?

Sun Meixiang became increasingly worried, but fearing that Lu Yinheng would suspect her, she dared not follow him to see what was going on. In the end, she could only return to the post station with a heavy heart.
