At that moment, Shu Wan stood by the river bank; a mere two or three meters ahead lay a bottomless abyss, so narrow in width that it was just one meter across.
Opposite the abyss, there was a cliff with several medicinal herbs that appeared deep green and even somewhat gloomy.
These herbs were known as Dici Bamboo, not exactly a precious medicinal material.
Shu Wan wanted these mainly because she had chatted with Fu Siyu the previous night, and Fu Siyu mentioned that he had been having some trouble sleeping recently. Thinking of this, Shu Wan decided to make some Calming Incense for him.
Indeed, Dici Bamboo was essential for making Calming Incense.
Although it was somewhat dangerous, Shu Wan had often gathered herbs in the mountains before, so she felt there was no major issue at the moment.
She walked around the area, observing the terrain.
Then, she moved to the side and grabbed a handful of vines.
On the opposite side of the river, the photographer felt it wasn’t very safe for Shu Wan to be there alone and considered calling her back, "Lady Shu, maybe we shouldn’t gather that."
Shu Wan nodded at the photographer, "I won’t be in danger."
After speaking with the photographer, Shu Wan lowered her head and continued working with the vines in her hands.
She tied the vines together into a tight knot, then threw it with force, and the small loop at the end of the knot tightly clasped onto a stone above.
Shu Wan wrapped the vine around her waist, confirmed it was secure, and with a leap, climbed onto the cliff on the opposite side.
Dici Bamboo generally grew at high positions, and naturally, the Dici Bamboo on this cliff was also positioned very high.
Using her hands and feet, Shu Wan rapidly climbed upwards and in no time, she had ascended nearly the vertical distance of three floors from the riverbank.
[Seriously, Shu Wan is good at climbing trees, but how is she also so good at rock climbing? In the blink of an eye, she’s climbed so high. Is she that amazing?]
[This looks so dangerous; she just went up like that. If something happens, I think the production crew really couldn’t compensate.]
[With Shu Wan’s participation, a parent-child variety show has inexplicably turned into a survival reality show. It’s quite thrilling.]
On the cliff, Shu Wan had reached the position of the Dici Grass, digging it up from the root, wrapping it in cloth, and placing it into her pocket.
After digging up the Dici Grass, Shu Wan prepared to descend.
However, just as she started moving, she saw a red, almost bizarre flower in a crevice of the abyss.
Although Shu Wan did not recognize it, she felt instinctively that this flower was extraordinary.
She looked towards where the photographer had been, only to find that he was no longer there.
Because of a blind spot in her vision, a tree obstructed Shu Wan’s view, and she failed to notice that the camera was still left behind the tree.
Thinking that the photographer had left, she turned back again, assessing the distance to the strange red spot.
She found a projecting point where she could plant her feet, positioned her body to maintain balance, and then took down the vine rope, reattaching it to a new stone.
Then, Shu Wan leaped forward, plunging into the abyss.
At this moment, in the live broadcast room, the viewers had exploded in commotion.
Because the photographer had just gone to find a toilet, and the camera was still in its original place.
So, Shu Wan’s actions had actually been seen by the viewers in the live broadcast.
[Damn, Shu Wan has fallen!!! Quick, call someone to rescue her; this is serious!!!]
[Doesn’t look like it... It seems more like Shu Wan jumped down herself, didn’t she secure herself with a rope?]
[She’s not a fool, why would she jump down herself?? She must have slipped.]
When the photographer returned from the toilet humming a song, he found that his phone was blowing up with calls.
The photographer returned a call to the director, "Director, what’s—"
"Where is Shu Wan!" The director’s roar came through the phone, startling the photographer.
"Shu Wan was—" the photographer looked towards the opposite riverbank and his heart sank, "She was just up there a moment ago."
"She fell down!" The director screamed in despair, "We’re heading there now; you wait there and don’t move."
"Oh, okay, wait, Director, Shu Wan has come out!!"
Just as the photographer’s heart died for a moment, he suddenly saw Shu Wan climbing back up from the cliff.
"Really, really!" The photographer hurriedly nodded, "You don’t need to come now; I’ll bring Shu Wan back right away."
"Alright, this time be sure to keep a close watch on her; don’t let anything happen."
"Sure, don’t worry," the photographer inwardly vowed, even if the director hadn’t instructed him, he wouldn’t dare lose sight of Shu Wan again. Even if he had to burst from holding his pee, he wouldn’t go to the bathroom again.
