"Hello, is this 120? Someone is injured at Rongquan Villa. Please send an ambulance as soon as possible. He may need emergency treatment."

"I'm not sure where the injury is. It's an external injury. Excessive blood loss. Please hurry up."

Tao Zhi was running while talking on the phone. He stepped on mud several times and almost fell down. After hanging up the emergency number, he called the front desk again.

"Send someone to the back mountain as soon as possible. There are people injured in the back mountain. It's that mud project or something. Hurry up."

Tao Zhi called Gong Cheng again, but no one answered. He then called Xu Yanze via WeChat, but no one answered either.

Tao Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around for the two people. He saw a huge mud pit in front of him and guessed that it should be the so-called entertainment project.

Tao Zhi put away his phone, bent down and looked down, but didn't see anyone, so he just started shouting.

"Gongcheng."

"Xu Yanze."

Tao Zhi shouted at the top of his voice.

Gong Cheng was a little fuzzy due to the scorching sun. He vaguely heard Tao Zhi's voice, but he just thought it was an illusion.

"Gong Cheng, where are you?" Tao Zhi's voice echoed in the pit.

Gong Cheng suddenly woke up, lifted up his coat which was covered with yellow mud, and looked up at the shore. It was Tao Zhi who was wearing his staff uniform.

Why is sir here?

Gong Cheng felt his breath hitch, and uncontrollable joy surged from his heart. He almost wanted to stand up and wave, but because he had to support the unconscious Xu Yanze in his arms, he could only sit where he was.

"We are here, sir."

Because of the long hours of exposure to the sun, Gong Cheng's throat was extremely dry, his lips were dry and chapped, and his voice was very hoarse.

Tao Zhi vaguely heard Gong Cheng's voice coming from the bottom of the pit. He leaned over to take a look and saw clearly the two clay figures in the corner that had become one with the yellow mud. The original color of their clothes was almost invisible.

"Gong Cheng, how are you guys?" Tao Zhi put his hands in front of his mouth to make a trumpet shape to amplify his voice.

"I'm fine, Teacher Xu was seriously injured." Gong Cheng shouted.

"Just wait, the ambulance and rescuers will be here soon." Tao Zhi shouted back.

Tao Zhi looked at Xu Yanze who seemed to be leaning in Gong Cheng's arms, motionless, and he didn't know how serious his injuries were.

Tao Zhi leaned over to look and found that the yellow mud on the shore was slippery and he could not stand steadily, so he put his hand on a fake tree beside him.

Gong Cheng was shocked when he saw Tao Zhi holding on to a tree on the shore.

"Sir, no... ahem... hold on to the tree with your hands!"

Gong Cheng started coughing violently because of the dryness in his throat. His face turned red from coughing and he stretched out his hand to wave at Tao Zhi on the shore.

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhi wanted to hold on to the tree with his hands?

Oh yes, Gong Cheng meant for me to hold on firmly. It is indeed very dangerous to slip on the shore. Maybe that’s how they went down.

Tao Zhi moved his body closer to the fake trees, wrapped half of his arms around them, and then leaned forward to look at the two people below.

"Sir! Let go!" Gong Cheng yelled.

Before Tao Zhi could wonder, the next moment, Tao Zhi's body suddenly leaned forward, his feet left the ground, and half of the roots of the fake tree were lifted up and leaned towards the bottom of the pit.

Tao Zhi stared with wide eyes as he watched himself fall into the mud pit. He immediately reached out to grab the shore but only grabbed a handful of mud. In a panic, he grabbed the rope, but it was obvious that the rope was of no use to Tao Zhi.

Tao Zhi slid down in this silky smooth manner, letting out screams that echoed through the sky. When he reached the bottom, it was so smooth that he flew into the air for a moment, then fell into the mud and slid forward another two meters before finally stopping.

Tao Zhi closed his mouth, but the sound lingered in the pit.

"Sir, how are you?" Gong Cheng anxiously shouted to Tao Zhi who was lying straight in the middle of the pit.

At this moment, Tao Zhi felt extremely peaceful both physically and mentally.

I can die, but I shouldn’t die socially, Tao Zhi thought.

Tao Zhi sat up, used his hands to wipe off the mud and water on his face, then pulled his clothes open from his waist, letting the several pounds of mud in his arms fall down.

Tao Zhi walked towards Gongcheng and Xu Yanze, but his shoes and trouser legs were stuck in the mud and it was difficult to walk, so he simply threw away his shoes and rolled up his trouser legs to his knees.

Gong Cheng felt his heart beating faster as he watched Tao Zhi gradually walking towards him.

"Sir..." Gong Cheng started.

Before Gong Cheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tao Zhi who came forward.

"How is he?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Teacher Xu was injured on both hands. The wound on his right hand was very long and was bleeding." Gong Cheng replied.

Tao Zhi bent down to look at Xu Yanze, who was leaning in Gong Cheng's arms with his eyes closed. His lips were pale, his brows were furrowed, and the yellow mud under his hands had been stained red, obviously he had lost too much blood.

Tao Zhi used his hands to lift up the torn sleeve of Xu Yanze and found that the cloth tied around the wound was completely stained with blood.

Tao Zhi took out his cell phone to urge rescuers, but found that the screen of the phone was crushed because it was placed in the back pocket of his pants and could not be turned on.

"Wow!" Tao Zhi jumped in anger.

But I've already called, and the ambulance should be here soon, so we just need to wait a little longer.

Tao Zhi reached out and patted Xu Yanze's face. Even though the sun was shining brightly, his face felt very cold.

"Hey, Xu Yanze, wake up."

"Xu Yanze, can you still hear me?" Tao Zhi shouted.

Xu Yanze just felt unbearably sleepy, trapped in the quiet and silent darkness. He vaguely heard someone calling his name in the darkness in the distance, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

Xu Yanze struggled to open his eyes, but through the gap he could only see a blurry outline under the dazzling sunlight, something familiar yet strange.

Seeing that Xu Yanze had not responded, Tao Zhi gradually became anxious.

"Hey, can anyone down there hear me?"

"Is it Gongcheng? If so, please reply."

There was a sound coming from the shore. Tao Zhi and Gong Cheng both looked up and saw Lang Bushin and Qiao Mu on the shore.

A few hours ago, Lang Bushin bought some iced drinks and returned to his room. Soon after, he saw someone named Su Lingling in the group informing him of the delay of the event, so he happily started playing games.

I don’t know how long it had been, but Cao Xiu was talking and laughing with a few people at the door. Later, he pushed the door open and saw Lang Bushin on the bed. He stopped laughing in an instant.

The other few people also left with unnatural expressions.

Cao Xiu entered the room, leaving yellow mud marks on the floor with his feet.

Lang Bushin only took one look and let out a "tsk" sound.

"Did you step in shit?" Lang Bushin looked disgusted.

"Fuck you... Never mind. I don't want to bother with you." Cao Xiu withdrew his fucking curse.

When Cao Xiu thought about seeing Gong Cheng coming back covered in mud in a moment, he couldn't help but show ecstasy on his face.

"Wow, your expression of whether you want to laugh or not is so vulgar."

"Are you going to do anything to me while Gong Cheng is away?" Lang Bushin complained.

Cao Xiu looked at Lang Bushin with an expression as if he had eaten shit, and for a long time he couldn't say anything to complain.

After Lang Bushin finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Gong Cheng was not there.

Lang Bushin opened the chat page with Gong Cheng and found that he had received a message from Gong Cheng more than an hour ago saying that he would go to the event venue first, but now the event was delayed, why hasn’t he come back yet?

Lang Bushin was a little confused, but he couldn't think deeply about it.

A few hours later, Lang Bushin realized something was wrong, and Qiao Mu also sent a message saying that he could not contact Gong Cheng.

At this time, Cao Xiu kept going to the balcony and looking out the window to see if Gong Cheng had returned. The longer time passed, the more anxious Cao Xiu became.

Nothing really happened, right?

It's a muddy slide. You can just go down and climb up. Why hasn't he come back after several hours?

Could it be that he fell and hit his head on the ground?

Could it be that he suffocated to death after falling face first into the mud?

The more Cao Xiu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He went to the window more and more frequently. His mentality had changed from wanting to watch the show at the beginning to praying that Gong Cheng would come back alive.
