Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1097 - 1099: A Narrow Escape

Seeing the situation, the second in command below used all his strength, kicked the cliff hard with both feet, and used the momentum to sway with the rope. He reached out to catch the Big Boss falling from above.

At this critical moment, he grabbed Xue Zhiyi’s arm. "Boss."

Xue Zhiyi felt like he had just come back from the Gate of Hell, almost rolling his eyes back, but luckily was caught by the second in command. He let out a long sigh of relief, but the situation was still not optimistic.

Because only one of his arms was grabbed, if the second in command couldn’t hold on, he could fall at any moment, and the two of them were swaying with the rope, practically hanging by a thread.

"Boss, I’ll keep the rope swaying, and when we get close to the cliff, you grab onto it," the second in command instructed.

"Okay."

Seeing the Big Boss understood, he put more effort into swaying the rope. Their whole bodies moved toward the cliff, and at the moment of getting close, his legs moved like steel boards, immediately climbing onto the cliff, showing he was trained.

In contrast, Xue Zhiyi was not so lucky. His whole body slammed heavily against the cliff, but fortunately, the second in command above didn’t let go, preventing him from falling.

Since the second in command was hanging on the cliff, Xue Zhiyi also clung to it and managed to climb onto the cliff.

"Boss, use the strength of the cliff and come up, let’s climb side by side." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The second in command pulled Xue Zhiyi’s arm, simultaneously pulling him up and letting him exert himself. Finally, Xue Zhiyi was side by side with the second in command.

Seeing this, the second in command shouted upwards, "Send the rope down a bit."

The people above, worried like ants on a hot pan due to the broken rope, were at a loss until Yang Ming, with keen ears, heard the sounds below and quickly told them, "They’re shouting to send the rope down."

Everyone quieted down, listened carefully, and indeed heard the shout from below to lower the rope. So they did.

The second in command below, hanging on the cliff, placed Xue Zhiyi’s arm around his waist, "Boss, hold onto me, don’t let go."

At this life-and-death moment, Xue Zhiyi of course complied, holding tightly onto the second in command without letting go.

The second in command saw the rope being sent down. He firmly fixed himself with one hand and both feet onto the cliff, keeping both himself and the Big Boss from falling while the rope developed a large slack. This wasn’t something an ordinary person could do, demonstrating the second in command’s great physical strength and skill.

Finally, the rope tied to the second in command developed a large slack. The second in command looped it around the Big Boss, making him somewhat safer. As long as this rope didn’t break again, they could safely climb up.

After securing the rope, the second in command spoke, "Boss, let’s climb up now."

"Okay."

The second in command then shouted upwards, "You can pull us up now."

Upon hearing the shout, those above began pulling the rope up. With the help of the second in command, Xue Zhiyi successfully climbed to the top. When the people above stretched out their hands to grab him, he realized how precious life truly was. It could end anytime, and he felt he must cherish it.

Once Xue Zhiyi reached the top, he was so exhausted he just lay there. His brothers quickly asked, "Boss, are you okay?"
