Chapter 88: Why not try to believe them?

"Princess Consort, Young Master probably can't hold on." Zi Su felt a bit anxious; earlier, listening to their preparations ahead, she had also found it quite enjoyable.

But now Ning Hanmo's dangerous behavior made Zi Su so anxious she was pacing back and forth.

Jiang Yun Chu calmly took a sip of tea; after hearing what Bai Zhi said, her brows only slightly furrowed, with no other emotion, and she didn't issue any orders.

Can't hold on?

Then think of another way!

When she was in the unit, the chief often said, "Damn it, think of a way! Can a living person be pissed to death?"

The chief's words sounded rough, yet they made the whole unit keep pressing forward.

Don't think that just because you hear this, the chief lacks culture.

Actually, the opposite is true; the chief is a college student who, in marching and forming arrays, wins against greater numbers countless times.

But he likes to use this phrase to encourage morale; whenever everyone reaches a desperate situation and hears it, they know there's still hope.

Jiang Yun Chu smiled and said, "Ning Hanmo, Spring Flower babies, don't let me down."

Rescue has never been a solitary act, but a team effort.

How long can you keep going?

"Princess Consort!" Zi Su walked to the Princess Consort's side and shouted; although she didn't say the following words, the meaning of a plea for help was already expressed very clearly.

Jiang Yun Chu lifted her head and glanced at Zi Su.

"Zi Su, you said before, Ning Hanmo has changed."

"Kang Wen and Kang Wu have changed."

"Those two little flowers have also changed."

The two little flowers are Kang Zi Wei and Kang Nai Xin.

She took a sip of tea; even though her heart was uneasy, she carried anticipation and boundless hope.

"Why,"

"not try,"

"believe them?""

Jiang Yun Chu spoke very slowly, pausing three times in the sentence; when she said these words, it was less for Zi Su to hear and more for herself to hear.

Let herself believe them.

Let them know that she could.

If she intervenes this time, afterwards they will keep a seed of expectation in their hearts; once they encounter something they don't want to finish or deem impossible, they won't strive as hard as today, nor struggle as they do now, because they know they have a foundation.

She is their foundation.

But…

She hopes to be their reliance, but not in this form.

Believe them!

Zi Su stared, her steps still anxious, but she didn't speak again.

On the other side, Ning Hanmo rested a bit, preparing to move forward…

"Boss." Ning Qiancheng opened his mouth.

Ning Hanmo lifted his head to look downward, but sweat blinded his eyes, so the people below were just blurry silhouettes.

"There are two ropes on your waist; try to see if you can fling one onto that branch over there, so we can pull from below and you can save some strength." Ning Qiancheng shouted; previously he always spoke softly, fearing to disturb anyone.

But now he couldn't care less; the person above is the one he cares about most in his life.

If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago.

Where would there be such good days now?

He could disregard anyone, but Ning Hanmo is his bottom line.

"Right!" Kang Wu's eyes lit up; just now his mind had raced through many ideas, but none were suitable.

If they were older, many ideas could be used, but they're too young.

"But… maybe this rope here would be better; we could tie it to the trunk behind, making it safer and avoiding us not being able to hold the rope." Kang Wu proposed.

But…

"Not really feasible."

Ning Qiancheng shook his head, rejecting the proposal.

Kang Wu wasn't angry; instead, his eyes questioned.

"Boss doesn't have that much strength left; that branch is too high, the rope can't be thrown over." Ning Qiancheng, who also wanted that branch, said.

But the boss's strength—right now the boss is gritting his teeth, enduring injury, which he has seen.

"Brother, you're right." Kang Wu nodded, thinking it over; indeed there was no better solution.

Ning Hanmo doesn't have time to think now; he's in the midst of the situation and needs outsiders to point the way.

"Which one." On this small branch, he struggled to steady his breath, then didn't dare lower his head, merely asking softly.

Kang Wu thought, then said, "Boss, do you see the branch straight ahead?"

"I see it." Ning Hanmo answered immediately.

"In your direction, below and to the right of the straight-ahead branch, there's a thick branch; do you see it?"

"Hmm."

"That's it; we can't be sure of your distance—take a look and see if you can throw it over." Kang Wu directed from below.

Orderly, with a clear train of thought.

Ning Qiancheng's eyes lit up; his words wouldn't be this clear.

Ning Hanmo frowned; it's a bit far, but he could try.

He carefully pulled out the relatively thick rope; now the thin rope is lighter, throwing it over is impossible, so he can only try this thick rope.

"I'll try." His voice was soft; he wiped sweat from his face to make his vision clearer, looked at the branch, his hand gripping the rope in loops, and threw it straight out.

A little bit.

Just a little bit more.

Brother, keep going, brother, you're awesome!

Yue Yue watched, her small face already sunburnt red, but she still persisted in standing below.

Others, nobody was discouraged; everyone's "a little bit" carried no regret, but instead hope.

Ning Hanmo had one hand hugging the tree, one foot stepping on the branch, one hand slowly pulling the rope back; that tiny hand could not even grip it.

This time…

"I'm fine, I can hold on, you go down." Kang Zhi Xia looked at Ning Hanmo; on his hand, the bleeding spots were increasing, the formerly handsome youth now unrecognizable.

Besides black, it was just red blood threads.

Just…

Shut up!

Whether a few small flowers, or Yue Yue, or even Kang Wen and Kang Wu, everyone shouted angrily.

Kang Zhi Xia felt somewhat wronged, he…

Just Ning Hanmo had no time to speak; Ning Qiancheng was full of anxiety, his eyes and ears filled only with Ning Hanmo, he could see no one else.

Hey!

Ning Hanmo this time was putting everything on the line; if he failed, he'd have to think of another way.

As for,

giving up,

he had never considered it.

One who gives up is a coward!

He has always remembered.

"It's hooked, it's hooked." Kang Zi Wei's eyes lit up instantly.

Everyone's faces, from just now tense, now became excited, and they took another step forward.

"But the rope is too short!" Kang Wen looked at the rope; not to mention himself, even adding Kang Wu, they still couldn't reach it!

Kang Wu thought for a moment, "Watch me."

He ran out thudding, without waiting for anyone to ask, he dashed out of the courtyard.
