Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter
Chapter 137 Looking for Someone Under the Cliff
The temperature at the bottom of the cliff was relatively low, and He Shulan was shivering from the cold: "How do we get up?"
"What we should be anxious about now is not finding the way back, but drying our clothes first, otherwise both of us will catch a cold."
The prince walked over, holding He Shulan, and looked around and found a cave: "Let's make do here for now."
He helped He Shulan into the cave, turned around and walked out, picking up a lot of dry firewood around the cave.
He picked up a stone on the ground and slapped it hard. The sparks ignited the dry wood on the ground.
Feeling the warmth, He Shulan's pale face turned a little rosy.
The prince took off his coat, put it on a stick, and separated the two of them: "Take off your clothes and dry them, otherwise you will catch a cold."
He Shulan's pale face turned red, and her eyes kept dodging: "The clothes I'm wearing are not very thick, they should be able to dry quickly."
The corners of the prince's mouth curled slightly. He knew He Shulan was shy. They had been married for so long, but they had not yet consummated their marriage. "You'd better take off your clothes, otherwise the cold will enter your body. I can't treat you in this wilderness. I have separated you with clothes. I can't see you and you can't see me, so don't worry."
He Shulan did not respond. Gusts of cold wind blew through the cave, making her cough continuously due to the cold.
Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and took off his coat and placed it on the rack set up by the prince.
……
The elder looked at the bottomless cliff and couldn't help but feel regretful: "If you fall from here, you will definitely die."
The Hu soldiers behind him stepped forward to remind him: "This is General Li's jurisdiction. Let's leave quickly. If we stay too long, they will catch us."
The Great Elder was so distressed that he was weeping. He originally wanted to exchange He Shulan for some silver, but now he had nothing and had to leave with the soldiers.
……
Yuan Qing and General Li saw the Hu people leaving in a hurry, and hurriedly led the soldiers to find the Prince and He Shulan.
Met a soldier returning halfway.
The soldier nervously reported to Yuan Qing: "General Yuan, the prince and his wife fell off the cliff."
"What?" Yuan Qing suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.
General Li, who usually opposed Yuan Qing, hurried forward to comfort him: "There is a river under the cliff. If they fall from here, there is a good chance that they will survive. What we need to do now is to rescue them."
This woke Yuan Qing up: "You are right, let's go and save them."
Without even taking a rest, the two men immediately led the soldiers to look for someone at the bottom of the cliff.
……
The great elder led the soldiers back to the Tiger Tribe. When he saw the leader standing there, his face turned ugly: "Why don't you lead the soldiers and come with us to capture the Princess?"
The leader was very dissatisfied with the elder's behavior: "I promised to let the princess go, so I will not go with you to capture her."
"You..." This made the elder very angry: "You are so bold that you even dare to disobey me."
The leader ignored him and said, "You can't blame me for this. You are the one who doesn't keep your word."
The fifth elder came over and said sarcastically, "The person is already dead. It's useless to capture him."
The leader's heart skipped a beat: "What did you do to the princess?"
"Haha, when did you become so merciful?" The fifth elder laughed heartily. "I'll tell you the truth. The prince and his wife fell to the bottom of the cliff. Maybe they have become two corpses now."
The chief remained silent. He had a good impression of the Princess and they had a good relationship, but he would not completely fall out with the elders for her.
After the elders left, the children who had been hiding not far away and eavesdropping ran up to the leader.
He said in a baby voice: "Chief, go and save my aunt."
"I can't go to rescue them. That place is under the jurisdiction of General Li. If I go there, they will catch me."
The children left one by one, feeling very disappointed.
The chief couldn't bear it, so he took a few trusted men and a team of soldiers and decided to go to the bottom of the cliff to look for someone.
……
He Shulan put on her coat and sat by the fire. She felt much warmer and in a good mood. Considering the current situation, she asked the prince, "We have been staying here, waiting for rescue."
"This is a deep mountain with many wild animals. If we stay here any longer, we will be eaten by the wild animals."
This was the first time He Shulan encountered such a thing. She didn't know what to do, so she could only listen to the prince: "Then let's leave now."
The prince looked outside and saw that it was getting dark. "We will leave when it is daybreak. I will go catch a rabbit for dinner."
After saying that, he stood up and left the cave, wandered around in the woods, caught a rabbit, walked to the river, dissected it, cleaned it, and returned to the cave.
After roasting the rabbit on the fire, the two had dinner and fell asleep early on the ground.
……
General Li found a way to the bottom of the cliff. The road was narrow with towering trees on both sides, so he gave up his horse.
Go to the bottom of the cliff and look for someone.
Yuan Qing was still worried and kept asking General Li: "There really is a river under the cliff. They are really not in danger."
In order to appease Yuan Qing, General Li kept answering: "Yes, I can answer you with certainty that there is a river under the cliff. Can you please stop asking the same question over and over again? I am tired of answering."
"I am very worried about my grandson and his wife."
Under normal circumstances, General Li would have ignored it, but at this moment, he felt quite sympathetic towards Yuan Qing.
His daughter and son-in-law left early, leaving behind a young prince and the elderly him.
He has been guarding the border all year round and cannot stay by the prince's side. What if something happens to the prince this time?
He guessed that Yuan Qing would not survive, so he was extremely patient.
Yuan Qing, who had calmed down, also noticed something unusual about General Li. He scratched his head and wondered when did General Li become so patient.
Could it be that General Li had lied to him and there was no river at the bottom of the cliff? His grandson and grandson's wife had already died.
Thinking of this, he was overwhelmed with grief, and he pulled General Li and wailed loudly: "Why am I so miserable? I lost my daughter and son-in-law when I was young, and now I have one foot in the coffin, and I have lost my grandson and grandson's wife."
General Li's mood became very heavy: "How do you know that the prince and princess are gone?"
"Didn't you say that?"
General Li looked helpless: "When did I ever say such a thing?"
Yuan Qing reacted and was stunned: "You didn't say that, but you did it. You have never been so patient with me. Something must have happened to them."
General Li was so angry that he almost fainted. He slapped Yuan Qing on the head and said, "I think you are itching for trouble. I have to scold you to make you feel better."
