Chapter Seventy-Six: Descending to the Bottom of the Cliff
"Your Highness, just let him go?" Long Yi asked, just now seeing Xuanyuan Hao, he couldn't wait to step forward and kill him with a sword, but now he let him go with such a swagger, Long Yi was unwilling.
"As I said, he's not yet ready to die. Xuanyuan Che turned and walked towards the edge of the cliff, "How did the things you explained before?"
"The third prince secretly opened an iron mine in Xishan, and we had already destroyed it last night, and all the weapons were taken away. Moreover, the war horses secretly raised by the three princes in Jiangnan were also manipulated by their subordinates. It is estimated that within three days, the third prince will receive the news. Long Yi replied, when the Demon Demon Gate has never missed, even if the third prince sends someone to investigate, he will not find anything.
"Well, just send someone to keep an eye on it, is the bottom of the cliff here almost here?" Although Xuanyuan Che has been standing here for the past few days, he seems to have heard nothing, but Shen Man'er's lonely appearance keeps flashing in his mind.
"The news from below says that the bottom of the cliff has been seen, but it is slow at night, and it is estimated that it will be able to go down to the bottom of the cliff as soon as tomorrow. "These days are all masters of the Demon Sect, day and night, although the speed is fast, but the bottom of the cliff is too deep, but tomorrow will definitely reach the bottom of the cliff.
"Hmm" Xuanyuan Che finished speaking, and continued to stand there motionless, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him anymore. Long Yi saw His Highness like this, he could only shake his head helplessly, and continued to stare at the matter of going down the cliff.

That night, Shen Man'er made full preparations, and in the afternoon she moved all the branches around her to the cave, anyway, there was nothing to do, and when it was almost dark, there was already a small firewood volcano in the cave.
Shen Man'er took down a flying fish hanging on the mountain wall, which she caught again in the puddle this afternoon, because she had the first experience, this time she didn't have much trouble catching two more, and after packing them up, she hung them on the mountain wall.
The fish kept making a sizzling sound on the fire, and Shen Man'er turned the fish, feeling happy in her heart.
"It's so fragrant, it's a pity you can't smell it, I'm going to eat." Shen Man'er was eating fish and leaning on the fire, because there was a fire today, Shen Man'er didn't deliberately wrap the rabbit skin tightly, and her body was also very warm. As she ate, Shen Man'er's tears flowed down.
"Look at me, I'm crying again, I'm useless. Woo woo woo woo" As she spoke, Shen Man'er cried and cried, but after crying for a while, Shen Man'er smiled as if she was laughing at herself and said, "It's really useless, this is the last time I cry, and I won't cry anymore." Hehe, how long have you been here, I see that your teeth have fallen out, have you lived here alone for a long time, is your family still there? I have a father and three brothers outside. As she spoke, the big tears fell again, Shen Man'er wiped away the tears with her sleeve, and smiled: "Look at me, I just said I wouldn't cry, I cried again, and now I'm crying again." I'll dig a grave for you another day, and bury you, if you don't have a name, I'll write you an anonymous name. I'm going to sleep, good night. ”
Shen Man'er added a little more firewood to the stone pit, put on a rabbit fur coat, and fell into a sweet dreamland. That night, she dreamed of Xiangye, her three brothers, and her parents saw that she was alive and well in ancient times, and Shen Man'er had a happy smile on her face all night.
In the middle of the night, a sound of chirping came from the cave where Shen Man'er took water, a group of creatures flapped their black wings, and rushed to the sky in pairs, and for a while the bottom of the cliff with the fragrance of birds and flowers became silent, and several black creatures flew to Shen Man'er's side, but they were frightened by the warm flames and flew into the distance. This night, Shen Man'er almost died in Huangquan, but she didn't know anything when she was drunk in her sleep at this time.
On the second day, Shen Man'er sharpened a simple cane for herself, sealed the mouth of the bamboo tube with leaves, caught four fish from the puddle and roasted them on her back, and then walked along the lake towards the distance.

"Prince, I am almost at the bottom of the cliff. Long reported for duty, thinking that there would be a result soon, he was afraid that it would be unfortunate, and the prince would not be able to accept it. In the past few days, the prince not only does not eat, drink or sleep, but also stands here in the wind and sun all the time, if Miss Shen really has an accident, he is afraid that His Royal Highness will collapse directly.
Xuanyuan Che clenched his fists, no one could understand what he was feeling at this time, he was afraid, too scared, afraid that his efforts would be in vain in another life. If it was destined to be that ending, he would rather never provoke her for the rest of his life, as long as she lived well.
"Well, find it and tell me as soon as possible. Xuanyuan Che covered his dizzy head, and he didn't sleep for several days, so that he was already physically exhausted.
"Your Highness, you better go in and rest for a while. Long Yi persuaded that His Highness's body could no longer hold on.
"Leave me alone, you go and keep an eye on it. Long Yi saw that His Highness was unmoved, so he had no choice but to leave.

Dark San watched Shen Man'er disappear on the edge of the cliff, shouted and jumped down, but he didn't know if it was too windy or too deep, and later, he couldn't see the white figure at all. Just when Dark San was still trying to stabilize his body, he suddenly felt that he had hit a big tree, the big tree was very high, Dark San was blocked by the branch several times before falling to the ground, feeling a pinprick pain in his chest, Dark San's eyes widened vigorously, trying to search for Shen Man'er's figure, and finally he could only close his eyes helplessly and fainted.
Dark San woke up two days later, Dark San coughed softly twice, blood and blood in his chest surged, Dark San felt as if his ribs were broken, Dark San moved his limbs, and one leg lost his intuition.
Dark San looked around, all of them were towering trees, even in the daytime, he didn't see very far, Dark Three searched for a long time in his vision, but he didn't see Shen Man'er's shadow. Dark San covered his aching chest, supported his left leg with a sword, searched the bottom of the cliff with difficulty, drank the watermark on the ground when he was thirsty, and saw if there was any fruit on the tree when he was hungry, so Dark San searched in the woods for two days, until he could no longer move, and could only helplessly lean on a rock wall, looking at the forest in the distance in a daze.
By the time the people sent by the prince found him, Dark San had already burned to the point of being unconscious. The man touched him lightly, and he fell straight to the ground.
The man hurriedly tied him to a rope and sent him to it. After the dark three were taken away, everyone launched a carpet search, but everyone searched at the bottom of the cliff for a whole day, and they didn't miss even the small mountain cracks, but there was never a shadow of Shen Man'er.
