Chapter 36: Secret in the Mountains
"This is the cave?"
"Yes, we marked it when we left. This is the one."
The young man pointed to a cross-shaped indent next to the entrance and said with certainty.
Looking at the slanted entrance, Wang Longhu squatted down and peered inside for a moment, frowning seriously.
No one knows how deep the cave is or what lies below. If Zhou Juanjie fell and was injured, he could easily suffer an accident due to excessive bleeding.
"You stay here and keep watch. I’ll go down and take a look." Wang Longhu wasted no time, tying a rope he brought around his waist and securing the other end to a nearby tree trunk, preparing to slide down into the cave.
"You’re going down?" Hearing Wang Longhu’s bold declaration, the young man was startled.
Even as Zhou Juanjie’s good friend, he didn’t dare to do so much to save someone, yet Wang Longhu, a complete stranger, was willing to make such a sacrifice.
Keep in mind that once you enter the cave, the dangers are unpredictable, and no one can say what might happen next. Such behavior is truly noble.
"Saving someone is urgent. You help me watch the rope. If I find him, I’ll need you to pull him up."
"Okay, okay. My name is Zheng Dongliang. My family is in the herbal medicine business. If you ever need anything, you can come to me. I acknowledge you as a friend, so righteous you are." The young man quickly said, patting his chest.
