Chapter 585: Chapter 581 Gecko Vine Abyss Valley 05
——————
Under the Gecko Vine Abyss Valley, the couple still could sleep soundly. The remnants of the Shantian Organization, which had been jointly sealed and killed by the Yan, Zhou, and Tao families, suddenly lost eighty percent of their elite members. Only high-ranking personnel hidden deeply managed to barely escape this calamity.
Due to this, Country H was also suppressed and coerced by its military power, and was forced to temporarily withdraw from the super lucrative territory of Zone Z.
The disappearance of Yan Jinsu and Xie Jingchen can be said to have allowed the three families to join forces all at once, capturing the military power of Zone Z in their hands, settling the fluctuating upper echelons.
Internal strife and external troubles suddenly reached a balance at a critical point.
Because power was handed over, many members of the Zhou family, scattered around, were subsequently recalled to their original family, including the branch of the Zhou family surrounding Zhou Yizhou and Zhou Yilang.
It had been a week since Xie Jingchen went missing with Yan Jinsu.
It wasn’t just the Xie Family who were worried. As far away as Beijing, the Yan, Zhou, and Tao families had all dispatched a battalion’s worth of military force to search and rescue them.
It’s just that the area was too vast, and the Primitive Mountains too expansive. Even Hu Zhengjie, who did not give up, returned to the place where their group had regained consciousness to search, but he did not find any clues.
Xiaojiu had grown to be half a year old and suddenly matured, especially after his dad promised him that he would definitely bring his mom back, and he became even more diligent in exercising his body.
When Xiaoshi wanted to cry, Xiaojiu would comfort her and then tell her that as long as she didn’t cry and practiced walking or talking well, she could make her intentions clearer to the adults, which was more useful than crying blindly!
Xiaoshi was at once confused by this, but she couldn’t resist Xiaojiu both explaining it to her and leading by example!
The first time Xiaoshi saw Xiaojiu walk a few steps on the ground, she refused to be outdone!
The little girl stopped crying and, holding onto grandpa, joined Xiaojiu in what seemed like a competition to practice standing.
Seeing Xiaojiu eating attentively, she also refused to be outperformed.
Xie Tiesheng and his wife saw their grandchildren being obedient, which provided some consolation. Even though their hearts were still worried about their third son and his wife outside, they refrained from mentioning these two in front of their grandchildren.
They had tried already, and if they carelessly mentioned them, the children would suddenly understand, even older ones like Xiaoqi, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Si, looking at them with teary eyes which made it unbearable for this pair of grandparents.
The crying of all five grandkids, which no elderly family could tolerate.
Having seen this situation at home, Xie Jinghong was even less likely to leave. Fan Jiefang, grateful to Yue Family’s prior trust, showed utmost respect for the married couple Xie Jingchen, and even if his wife didn’t say so, he also decided to stay and look after the elderly and children of this family.
Fortunately, the Xie Family was a super large clan. Not only numerous sons but also nephews and nieces, to ease the psychological pressure on Xie Tiesheng and his wife, there was always a granny or an aunt who would come to keep Zhou Xiuhua company or old men who would engage Xie Tiesheng in some handcraft work.
After all, it made the elderly couple too busy to dwell on their worries.
It was an ill-conceived idea from Xie Jingwei, but the siblings seeing their parents unable to eat or sleep well, could only try their best to divert their attention.
Not to mention that everyone was making efforts to dispatch personnel to find Xie Jingchen and his wife, but the results were not good.
Day by day, as if putting everyone who cared about Yan Jinsu and Xie Jingchen on a hot stove, tormented.
In the abyss of Gecko Vine Abyss Valley, Xie Jingchen, after ensuring his wife was safe, intensified his efforts to carve a path to the heavens.
Even though Xie Jingchen was physically strong, the work Yan Jinsu did in the two days she was unconscious only equated to one-tenth of the height.
In the next two days, Yan Jinsu was still mostly asleep, but Xie Jingchen was already able to confidently scout upwards.
After two days of strenuous climbing, Xie Jingchen felt he had explored half of the route!
Most importantly, at this halfway point, he found a small cave just big enough for one person to take shelter in!
With this cave, he became more confident that he could climb up the abyss within three days.
Climbing up the cliff was difficult, but sliding down was extremely easy.
Xie Jingchen made markings inside the small cave and tried to enlarge it a bit – just enough for them, as a couple, to sit for three to five hours!
With several hours of rest, he could maintain greater physical stamina to continue upwards.
Although the hardness of the rocks was not very challenging for him, repeating the same action countless times would double the exhaustion of a person’s energy.
And for him, who was half-perched on the precipice, exerting force without any safety measures, the danger was even higher.
To climb to the halfway mark in two days, Xie Jingchen had exerted his utmost strength.
During this period, Xie Jingchen couldn’t even remember how many footholds he had chiseled.
Just managing to carve the small cave to his satisfaction, he waved his arms, then swept down the debris and installed a hanging solar lamp beside it so that he could know the approximate height from below.
After preparing everything, Xie Jingchen secured the ropes, and with a leap, he slid down—what took the better part of a day to climb up only took three minutes to descend!
Xie Jingchen, covered in dust, hung above the pool while Yan Jinsu had already prepared dinner. Seeing his disheveled state, she was nervously about to say something when she saw Xie Jingchen wave his hand and loudly shout to her:
"Wife, stay where you are. I’m going to dive into the water to wash off this dust."
After shouting, he jumped straight into the pool, causing Yan Jinsu’s heart to lurch, her lips tightening and turning pale.
She wondered if it was a residual effect from a previous fall from above, as every time she saw Xie Jingchen dive into the pool, her heartbeat would race uncontrollably—
Yan Jinsu truly felt her heart pounding wildly, distracting her and making her body involuntarily move towards the water’s edge, where she lay down and watched Xie Jingchen in the water, agile as a dragon, like a dragon lurking in the abyss—
She held her breath until Xie Jingchen suddenly surfaced, his closely-cropped head appearing before her, and she gently exhaled the breath she held in her heart.
"Wife, don’t worry, I’m a good swimmer." When he was a child, every kid in the village would compete to catch fish and shrimp in the water to supplement their meals; there wasn’t a child in the countryside who couldn’t swim.
"Brother Chen, please don’t jump into the water like that next time. Every time I see you dive in, my heart aches with anxiety!" Yan Jinsu pleaded, heedless of the dampness on Xie Jingchen’s body, throwing herself into his arms.
"What’s wrong, is somewhere uncomfortable..." Xie Jingchen suddenly remembered something and gripped her shoulders tightly: "Wife, do you have an image of us in the water in your mind?"
After saying so, he held his breath, waiting for his wife’s response—
