this growth

When Du Nan and Xing Lang nervously watched the man break the formation, there was already a mess outside the restricted area.

After being slapped by her mother, Sun Tao was completely honest this time.

Wiping away tears, she led everyone to the slope where Du Nan fell off the cliff, but when she got to the slope, she was dumbfounded—where is the cliff?

The cliff is gone ugh!

Walking down the slope, there is a dense forest below. The trees in the forest are thick and thin. Even in winter when the leaves have fallen off, because the canopy of the branches is too lush, they are densely intertwined at the zenith, and the light in the forest is still a bit dim. .There are thick fallen leaves and broken branches under the feet, because few people come here, the leaves are stacked on top of each other, and the bottom ones have become fat, but the top ones are still drying slowly. Thick as mud.

"I know this. I went to the old grave to visit the ancestor's grave a while ago. I came back late. When I peed, I accidentally rolled down. It seems to be near here. This is not a cliff at all. If it was a cliff, I could still stand on it now." Are you looking for someone here?" It was an old lady who spoke, she looked at the top, then carefully identified the bottom, and finally confirmed.

"Hmph, I've lived here for nearly 80 years, and I've never heard of a cliff near our village. If there is a cliff, would we not know? The road here has been closed long ago." This time it was an old lady who spoke, It's hard for her to come down with her to find a baby in a daze because she is quite old.

"I remember that when I came down, I made a mark on the tree that stopped me. I was afraid that if the black lamp lost something, I would come back the next day to look for it. But because I didn't lose anything, I also I haven't come back, let me look for that tree..." The first lady who spoke began to look for the tree, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time, but she still swore that she fell near here .

Then people looked suspiciously at Sun Tao who brought them here.

This time, without waiting for the villagers to ask, Sun Tao's mother took the initiative to open the mouth first, and still slapped the way: "You damn child, are you telling the truth? Did you really fall from here?"

"Really! What I said this time is really the truth. This place was clearly a cliff just now, why, why now..." Has it become a forest?

Looking at the endless forest ahead, Sun Tao was at a loss.

"Don't be afraid that this girl is timid, maybe she sees the flat ground as a cliff." Someone speculated.

At that time, Nai Du slashed at Sun Tao again, seeing that her next move was to come over to settle accounts with Sun Tao, the village head quickly stood up and said, "Don't be foolish, it's important to find the child. The child is too young. I can’t stand the trouble. Don’t do anything today, just order a few people to watch the children in the village, and let everyone else find someone here.”

After finishing speaking, she neatly allocated the staff, centering on the place where they were standing now, and everyone looked for the children.

The search took a day and a night, even if the people here don’t know the golden window to find the missing persons, but people instinctively know that the day before the child is lost is the best time to look for the child, usually if you can find it, you will find it, if you cannot find it... …

A day and a night passed, but Du Nan was not found.

"Don't worry, didn't the eldest sister of the Sun family say that her eldest sister also came with her? There is an older child with her, and Du Nanfu is very lucky, so everything will be fine." During the meal break, the village chief tried to comfort the Du family.

"That's right! My family's Wuhuafu is very lucky, and nothing will happen!" The person who didn't want to be comforted was so confident that Dad Du jumped up all at once. Putting down his chopsticks, he picked up the lantern and searched in another direction. passed.

The village chief was taken aback by Du Nan's father.

"Well, don't worry, Du Nan is very smart, and he is so old, he will definitely not be lost. Even if he gets lost, he will definitely be able to find it slowly..." After eating the last mouthful of dry food, Mama Du wiped her mouth , she also picked up a lantern and left.

This...thank you for your comfort?Something seemed wrong... The village chief thought uncertainly, and then he was startled by the sound of Du Nan's milk slapping his chopsticks.

"What a worry-free baby. Just like his father, the bad girl of the Sun family was taken away as soon as she hugged him. He has grown so much meat for nothing! Where was the strength when he beat that dead girl last time? Wait for him to come back and see me Don't beat his ass!" Du Nan said, and left aggressively.

A family of three, three directions.

Looking at the old lady's back, the village head couldn't help but glance at the Sun family's aunt...with a bruised nose and a swollen face: "What, Sun Tao's mother just slapped her twice on the head. These injuries on her body are probably not Was it all beaten by your family, Du Nan?

In short, the Du family seemed to be full of confidence and didn't really need her comfort.

However - she hasn't found a child for several days, and she doesn't feel very optimistic. Before that, she wanted to comfort the three members of the Du family. Could it be because she herself was also beginning to lose her mind?

Sighing, the village chief mobilized the villagers again.

Everyone searched for seven days.

No one in the village said anything, basically waiting for who would say condolences to Lao Du's family first, but it was just a question of who would speak first.The turning point of things happened in the early morning of the eighth day.

Early in the morning, all the villagers who had spare time gathered here.

In the past few days, they have been eating here - the old Sun's family is responsible for providing food and cooking, and the village head directly issued an order. In addition, everyone in the village looked bad, and the Sun family did not dare to refute it. Now the Sun family It has become a big canteen in the village. After eating at her house, the villagers will run to the forest. Those who come to find people are looking for people, and those who have not been assigned to find people also come to help find them for a while before going to the field.

So early in the morning, everyone witnessed this miraculous event together.

At that time, everyone was still on the slope and hadn't gone down the slope. I don't know who it was, and was about to go down the slope, when suddenly—"The bottom... has become a cliff!" Just half a foot down The son-in-law of the He family yelled.

With this howl, everyone looked down the slope, and everyone was stunned when they saw it.

Just as the son-in-law of the family shouted, the dense forest below the slope suddenly turned into a cliff!

Clouds and mists, bottomless cliffs!

What about the forest before?Where have you been looking for the forest for so many days?

Everyone was surprised and suspicious, especially those who planned to go down immediately, but now they are all thankful that they haven't taken a step yet. What if they step on it?Didn't it happen to fall under the cliff?

Among these people, only the Du family has a unique style of painting.

"Fuck, look quickly, it's a cliff! It's a cliff!" Father Du called out to his daughter-in-law with unconcealable joy in his voice.

There was no need for him to greet her. Du Yuhan had seen the cliff early in the morning. Just like Du Nan's father, her face was full of surprise: "Du Nan! Du Nan!"

She directly called Du Nan's name.

But Du Yingying was more direct.

Pushing aside the crowd from behind, she glanced at the cloud-filled cliff below. She shook out a long rope from behind, wrapped the rope around a big tree next to it a few times, and put nails on the ground. She pulled it hard. He pulled the rope, and the next moment, he was going to grab the rope and go down!

"Mom! Where did you find the rope? It's so long!" Du Nan's father was even more surprised in his voice.

The old lady gave him a sideways glance: "It will be too late when you think about it."

Du Nan's mother held her back: "Mom, let me go, you show me the rope from above."

"No, no, no! Let me go, I'm a man! I..." My wife and mother wanted to go down, so Dad Du was naturally unwilling to be behind, and he grabbed the rope before Mama Du, and then—he grabbed the rope by the hand He was beaten hard by the old lady.

Glancing at him coldly, Du Yingying raised her chin: "How can I go down alone to find someone?"

There are two other coils of rope in the direction where she raised her chin, apparently for Du's parents and Du's mother.

Seeing how her daughter and son-in-law happily went over to grab the rope and prepare to descend the cliff, Du Yingying just looked at the village chief.

"...The cliffs have appeared. I wonder if you should wait a little longer. Let's study it and see how we can get down together..." the village chief said to her.

Du Yingying just shook her head slowly: "It was my child who was lost. You have accompanied us to find it for so many days. We appreciate it. Now we have found the right place. We cannot let other people go to such a dangerous place. "

"We have to go as a family."

She said, look at her daughter and son-in-law, they are not slow, they have fixed the rope in such a short period of time, and now they have come to her and are ready to go down the rope...

Seeing their quick movements, Du Yingying shifted her eyes to the village chief again: "In a moment, if we pull the rope to signal you, you can pull the rope to pull us up."

"If there is no signal, you will think that our family of four died down there."

After finishing speaking, she pulled the rope and went straight down the cliff.

The young couple of the Du family were the same as her. The three members of the family went down the cliff almost at the same time without any hesitation. Seeing their determination, the village head opened his mouth, and then he personally stood by the three ropes.

***

Du Yingying was fully prepared.

At least it was the best preparation she could do.

When Du Nan's parents stayed there all day to find people, she went to all the houses in the village alone, asked the people left behind in their homes to ask for all the ropes in their homes, and twisted all the ropes firmly into three long ropes. , she was ready to go down the cliff early in the morning.

She believed what Sun Tao said, Du Nan fell under the cliff, although the cliff has not been found yet, but sooner or later they will find it, find it, and go down.

To go down, there must be a rope, and it must be a very long rope.

That's what Du Yingying thought, and it turns out that she was right. Sun Tao really didn't lie, and the cliff really appeared. Although it appeared strangely, it didn't mean that the rope she had prepared was used?

only……

Pulling the rope and going down bit by bit, the more you go, the more wrong it feels, this feeling...why doesn't it feel like climbing on a cliff, but rather like climbing on a slope?

Could it be that the first half of the cliff is a slope?

Clutching the rope tightly, Du Yingying felt that not only was her person in a fog, but her mind was also in a fog.

Thick clouds and fog covered her vision, making her unable to see clearly below, not only that, she could not see above either.

If you can't see it, it's good, if you can't see it, your legs don't shake.

Thinking of this in her heart, Du Yingying simply continued to walk down, walking carefully, walking, walking...

After walking for a long time, she found that she no longer seemed to be walking on a slope, but she was walking on flat ground!

Cautiously let go of the rope in her hand, just in case, her hand was still on the rope, and Du Yingying was surprised to find that she was on flat ground.

How long has it been, is it over? !

Du Yingying raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Then, she saw her daughter and son-in-law, both of whom were dead after all, with the same expression of seeing hell on their faces.

What a fool!The stupid son-in-law made his daughter stupid too—she thought to herself, but then realized: Wait... the fog seems to have lightened?Before, she could not see the people beside her even though her eyes were open.

She looked around—yes, the fog has indeed lightened, and it seems to be continuing to dissipate. The fog that could not see her five fingers at first lightened to the point where she could see the people next to her clearly. When the wind blew, she could even see the people next to her. Qing has been shrouded in fog, and other surrounding scenery has disappeared.

Looking down, you can see the ground covered with fallen leaves and broken branches. Looking up, you can see the densely packed trees towering into the mist. It looks...why does it look like the forest where they have been looking for people?

No, it seems that the trees here are thicker.

Du Yingying thought to herself.

Then, she heard rustling footsteps.

not her!It wasn't Du Yuhan and the others beside them, because they were surprised and cautious, they didn't move.

Squinting her eyes, Du Yingying looked towards the source of the voice.

I saw a black shadow first appeared in the forest where there was still lingering fog, and then the black shadow became clearer and clearer, turning into a young girl's figure, and in the girl's arms...

"Du Nan!" Du Yingying called out the name of the fat black one.

The author has something to say: Du Nan: Baby baby!
