Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Uncertainty of Life and Death

"What?"

Su Zhenping and Wang Hao were shocked and quickly put down their baskets and tools, running towards Su Lin’s direction.

"Didn’t I tell you to keep a close eye on her? How could you not keep an eye on a grown person? Where was the last place you saw her?"

Su Zhenping couldn’t help but scold.

Shi Han suddenly said she felt unwell in her stomach and wanted to relieve herself, so she went behind that clump of grass. I’ve been standing here the whole time, not moving. It’s been a long time since I saw her come out, and there was no reply when I called out, wuwu..."

As she spoke, Su Lin was so anxious that she started crying.

"Don’t worry, Lin Lin, don’t be afraid. I will find Shi Han and bring her back safe and sound."

After listening to Su Lin’s words, Wang Hao also understood what had happened.

He comforted Su Lin for a moment, then walked towards the clump of grass.

Wang Hao was also worried, but to prevent Su Lin from feeling guilty, he still forced himself to appear calm.

Arriving behind the clump of grass, Wang Hao saw that the grass has been trampled flat, indicating that Shi Han had hesitated here.

Upon careful examination, Wang Hao noticed that the leaves of the grass on one side were leaning in a certain direction, showing a trail where someone had passed. Therefore, he determined that Qi Shihan must have gone in that direction.

"Let’s go check over there."

Wang Hao followed the trail in search of her.

The further Wang Hao walked, the more nervous he became because this path led to a cliff behind the mountain.

The villagers had said that there used to be a mountain peak there, but one day, the Mountain God grew angry and summoned the Thunder God to cleave the peak, forming the cliff.

Since the cliff was rugged and prone to collapse, people had always been afraid to go there.

In the current situation, Qi Shihan was already emotionally unstable; she surely hadn’t gone to the cliff to play or enjoy the view.

Wang Hao didn’t dare to shout loudly, afraid to disturb the poisonous animals and wild beasts in the mountains. If Shi Han encountered them, it would be even more dangerous.

"This foolish girl, how could she be so thoughtless."

Thinking of Shi Han’s recent haggard appearance, Wang Hao felt distressed, fearing that she might do something foolish, so he quickened his pace.

Indeed, the trail didn’t turn but led directly to the cliff.

Wang Hao, no longer concerned about the danger of collapse, rushed forward, his only thought to quickly find Shi Han and rescue her.

Just as Wang Hao was extremely anxious, a white figure emerged from the jungle to his left.

Wang Hao knew it had to be Shi Han.

Without thinking, Shi Han walked straight to the edge of the cliff and stood there motionless, her eyes contemplatively looking forward, as if lost in thought.

At that moment, Wang Hao didn’t dare to call out, afraid that surprising Shi Han might prompt her to make an impulsive move.

He approached carefully, afraid of making any noise that would startle Shi Han.

Shi Han just stood there and slowly began to cry, her head continuously peering down at the drop below the cliff.

The entire cliff echoed with Shi Han’s faint crying, covering the sound of Wang Hao’s footsteps. She didn’t notice him at all.

With less than ten steps to go, Wang Hao suddenly accelerated and leaped towards Shi Han.

Shi Han felt the wind and looked back, just in time to see Wang Hao with arms outstretched lunging at her, grabbing hold of her.

The two fell to the ground, with Wang Hao worried about crushing Shi Han, he held her in his arms.

"Let go of me!"

Shi Han recovered from the initial shock and began to struggle frantically upon realizing Wang Hao was the one holding her.

Wang Hao, afraid that Shi Han would break free and have extreme thoughts, pressed her to the ground to immobilize her.

If they continued to struggle in this place, both of them might fall off the cliff.

"What are you trying to do?"

Wang Hao pressed down on Shi Han and asked sternly.

"Let me go! What does it matter to you what I do? You never cared about me. Now you come out pretending to care, don’t you think you’re being a hypocrite?"

Wang Hao was taken aback upon hearing this. So this is how Shi Han had always seen him, but how had he become uncaring about her?

If it weren’t for caring about her, I wouldn’t have run to her house to save her late at night.

Even when busy these days, the moment I had a spare second, my thoughts were preoccupied with her; whenever I saw Su Zhenping and Su Lin, I would ask about her condition.

How did I become hypocritical in her eyes now?

"If you really cared about me, why didn’t you come to see me? Do you know how tormented I’ve been these days? And..."

Qi Shihan was already sobbing, her tear-filled big eyes staring at Wang Hao, full of grievances.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I thought you needed to calm down, so I didn’t dare to disturb you too much, you need to come to terms with such things on your own."

Wang Hao explained.

He hugged Qi Shihan tightly, wanting to give her more warmth, to make her feel loved by one more person in this world, to break her off from such extreme thoughts.

"Even my dad doesn’t want me anymore, and my mom did what she did, you too... I really feel like I can’t hold on much longer."

Qi Shihan hugged Wang Hao’s neck and burst into loud crying.

In her vulnerable and helpless state, she could only seek Wang Hao’s safety and protection.

"Alright, it’s all in the past now, don’t be sad, what’s most important is to pick yourself up."

Wang Hao gently patted Qi Shihan’s back to comfort her.

"What should I do? I don’t have a home to return to anymore."

Qi Shihan cried pitifully, her tears making her look all the more moving.

"Don’t worry, I’m here for you, I will take care of you. How about you move in with me for now, is that okay?"

Wang Hao hadn’t realized how fragile the little girl’s heart was until now. He should have taken some time to accompany her; maybe she wouldn’t have had these thoughts today.

"Big brother Hao, you won’t abandon me in the future, will you?"

Qi Shihan suddenly let go of Wang Hao and looked at him with tearful eyes.

"No matter when or what happens, I will never abandon you."

Wang Hao patted his chest as he spoke, then wiped the tears from her face.

"Thank you, big brother Hao."

Qi Shihan smiled through her tears and threw herself back into his arms.

Wang Hao held her in his arms and whispered soothingly, "It’s okay now, shall I take you home now?"

Qi Shihan nodded satisfactorily, holding on even tighter.

Just then, Su Zhenping and Su Lin also came over. freēwēbnovel.com

Su Zhenping was in the lead and just happened to witness this scene. He quickly turned around to block Su Lin’s view.

But Su Lin had already seen everything. It was the second time she had seen such intimacy between Wang Hao and Qi Shihan. Even though she knew Qi Shihan was emotionally unstable and needed comforting, the sight inevitably stirred a trace of loss in her heart.

"Big brother Hao..."

Su Lin called out in a low voice.

Wang Hao immediately let go of Qi Shihan upon hearing the sound; he could see that Su Lin was unhappy.

"Are you guys okay? Is there anything I can help with?"

Su Zhenping stepped forward to ask.

Qi Shihan lifted her head, her eyes red and her lips slightly pursed, shook her head, then turned her gaze toward Wang Hao.

"It’s nothing, let’s go back."

Seeing that Qi Shihan’s emotions had stabilized considerably, Wang Hao picked her up and suggested they go home.

Watching this scene, Su Lin felt even worse.

Su Zhenping saw it all and understood everything, casting a blameful look at Wang Hao and inwardly cursing.

"Why don’t you just fall and die!"

Suddenly, with a "crack", the rock broke, and Wang Hao stumbled and fell to the ground, not forgetting to throw Qi Shihan towards Su Zhenping before he fell.

As the breaking sound grew louder, Wang Hao fell off the cliff along with the crumbling rocks...
