It was already very late, well past Dean Fu's bedtime.

However, he still tried hard to persevere.

Several teachers went together to look for the student who went to the back mountain without permission, but there has been no news until now.

If something bad really happened, he would no longer have to be the dean.

“哎,早知道就不叫他们自己庆祝了,直接放回家!”

He has been the dean for more than 20 years, but he didn't expect such a mistake to happen at this time.

"Dean, the teachers are back!"

The servant boy suddenly rushed in, giving Fu Feiyuan a fright.

But he didn't care to blame, he stood up and shouted:

"real?

Did the students find it? "

The book boy nodded and then shook his head.

Fu Feiyuan was upset:

"What do you mean? Explain yourself!"

“When I saw the group coming back, I quickly came to report to the dean.

I did see some students among them, but I don’t know if all of them have returned.”

Fu Feiyuan: ...

Can't you figure it out first before telling him?

"Let's go take a look together."

He was in no mood to wait here, so he quickly put on his coat and went out to check.

"Dean!"

Master Chang and some others were escorting a few students and walking towards this side with torches in hand.

"Is everyone okay? Are they all back?"

Fu Feiyuan asked with a dignified look on his face.

Master Chang looked back.

Several students hung their heads, looking dejected.

"Five of them came back, and they said Xie Yunzhe left later and was not with them.

Could it be that he didn't go to the back mountain at all, but went somewhere else?"

Fu Feiyuan wondered:

"Why?

When he left me, he said he wanted to celebrate with his classmates."

He didn't ask where we were going at the time.

He didn't expect these students to cause him such a big trouble.

Then he turned around and called his servant:

"Hurry up and go to Xie Yunzhe's dormitory to see if he has returned."

The book boy took the order and left.

Fu Feiyuan then noticed that Song Tian, ​​who had set out with the team, seemed to be missing as well.

"Where is Xie Yunzhe's wife?

Didn't I go with you guys to look for someone?"

Master Chang looked back, but really didn't see anyone.

"Isn't she following us all the time?"

He asked several other teachers.

The others looked at each other.

This... I didn’t even see it!

Master Chang was a little flustered.

“When we found the students, she was still there. She hadn’t seen her husband and was very anxious at the time.

The students and the teacher persuaded them and then followed the team back.

Along the way, everyone was talking about the students stealing wine, I didn’t pay attention…”

"Go back and find it quickly!"

Fu Feiyuan shouted.

Originally it was the students’ business, but now even their families are lost. How can this be tolerated!

"Dean, Xie Yunzhe's dormitory is empty. There's no one there."

The book boy also came back to report at this time.

Fu Feiyuan was completely panicked.

We finally found a top winner in the provincial examination, but now he's missing just as the results are announced. What should we do?

"Give me a torch. Take me to find the place you passed by on the way!"

No matter what, we have to find Song Tian first.

Before the teachers could catch their breath, they were dragged up the mountain again.

Several students who went to the back mountain were locked up in the dean's office and were later sentenced.

"Hey, where do you think Brother Xie could be going? He didn't get lost in the mountains, did he?"

Xu Lei asked.

The other one looked up at Chen Ming who was silent.

“Didn’t Brother Chen leave him a map?

The trails on the mountain are not complicated, so there is no way to go wrong, right?"

Chen Ming rarely said anything, but just picked his fingers dejectedly.

Everyone thought he was worried and didn't take it seriously.

Fu Feiyuan followed several teachers and searched around, but didn't see anyone along the way.

Master Chang suddenly remembered:

"On the way there, Madam Song found a fork in the road and asked if it was possible to go that way. Could it be that she was heading into the mountains?"

Everyone looked at Fu Feiyuan.

Dean Fu took a breath:

"This place is not far from the academy, and it is not in the hinterland of Daqing Mountain. Wild beasts generally don't come here. Let's go and take a look."

Everyone knew the seriousness of the situation, and no one dared to raise any objections. They just followed silently.

Holding torches, the group found the fork in the road where Song Tian turned, and followed the fallen grass trails to the place where Song Tian and Xie Yunzhe fell off the cliff.

Master Chang felt very disappointed.

"Dean, there are traces of a ferocious beast here. Judging from its size, it should be a black bear!"

Fu Feiyuan almost couldn't hold the torch firmly.

"How could a black bear get here?"

This place is obviously not far from the academy, and there are hunters living not far away, so you generally won't encounter ferocious beasts.

Master Chang didn't know either and could only shake his head silently.

He held up the torch and looked down along the traces of fallen branches:

"There's a tiankeng below here. I heard from nearby hunters that it's over two hundred feet deep and is completely covered in bushes and vines. No one has ever been in there!"

If the couple really fell from here...

Fu Feiyuan's legs went limp.

"Hurry back and send someone to the county government office to let them know and see if the detectives are willing to help find him."

The terrain was so complicated and they had no mountaineering experience, so they didn't dare to go down rashly.

We can only hope that people from the county government will arrive as soon as possible.

……

Song Tian was awakened by the heat.

That’s right, in the mountains in late autumn, she didn’t feel cold, but was awakened by the heat.

Open your eyes and take a look.

The morning sun has risen in the east and the sky is already bright.

Song Tian touched the place under her head that felt hot.

It was actually Xie Yunzhe’s arm!

She woke up instantly and touched Xie Yunzhe's forehead.

The tentacles are hot.

He has a high fever!

"Xie Yunzhe!

Xie Yunzhe! "

She screamed twice and accidentally saw the wound on his shoulder.

It was a mess of blood and flesh, with deep grooves and ravines all over it, which showed at first glance that it was left by something's claw marks.

As it rolled down the deep pit, it was covered with a lot of dirt and grass debris, and was covered with black and red blood scabs, which was shocking to see.

"Mother...son!"

Xie Yunzhe's face was pale and his lips were chapped.

Fortunately, he is still conscious.

"Wait a minute, I'll go see if there's a way out!"

If we don't take him out now, it might be too late.

Song Tian's eyes turned red. She tidied up her tattered dress, stood up and looked around.

This is a large naturally formed pit.

It's like a deep well, surrounded by towering cliffs and with no exit at all.

Fortunately, the place where they rolled down yesterday was a landslide and was covered with vegetation and vines.

Although the slope is very steep, it also cushions the impact of falling.

Otherwise, both of them would have fallen to death last night.

Song Tian looked around.

This place is neither big nor small.

It was about the size of two or three of the small courtyards she rented.

Most of it is covered with lush vegetation, with only a pond in the southwest.

Although it is closed on all sides, the water in the pool is not still. It flows out from the cliffs nearby and flows away from under the rocks on the opposite side.

Song Tian stared at the pool of water, then tore off a piece of cloth from her tattered skirt and soaked it in the water to wash it clean.

I let it absorb enough water and then carefully carried it back.

"Xie Yunzhe, Xie Yunzhe!"

Seeing Xie Yunzhe falling asleep again, she wrung the water from the rags into his mouth.

Then she wiped his forehead with the cool, wet cloth.

"I know how to get out. You better be alert and don't fall asleep!"
