Chapter 1658: Yuangui's Experience

"He tied a vine around his waist??"

Both Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng were astonished. They listened as Yuanqui smiled bitterly and said, "When we both fell, I was holding onto him. So when they pulled him into the protruding hole, I was almost pulled in too. At that moment, Jiang Kuangyu glanced at me and tried to kick me off."

Helpless, Yuangui clung tightly to him, resisting the pull from the two people at the entrance of the hole who were receiving Jiang Kuangyu's fall. One of them shot an arrow towards him.

Unable to hold on, Yuanqui eventually fell off the cliff.

"It was also because of my good luck. When I was hanging in mid-air, swaying, the arrow missed vital parts. Moreover, as I fell, they pulled me a bit to the side, so I almost slid down the cliff edge. There were many trees extending out from the edge, and I was buffered several times as I fell, reducing the impact."

Despite suffering severe injuries, he was fortunate enough to survive.

Shu Yu asked, "I heard that Jiang's family, the escort bureau, and the officials all came down the mountain to search but only found bloody clothes and broken flesh. What happened?"

"I don't know if they came down to search for me, but Jiang Kuangyu and his gang were among the first to arrive. I lost consciousness after falling to the bottom of the cliff and woke up in pain when wolves started biting me."

Yuangui rolled up his sleeve, causing Meng Qi to gasp in astonishment.

There was a large scar on his wrist, as if a piece of flesh had been bitten off, and even though it had healed now, one could still imagine the bloody scene at the time.

"When I woke up, the wolf realized that I was still alive. It backed away a few steps as I was severely injured and couldn't move. However, it wanted to come back and continue attacking me. Just then, I heard the sounds of fighting from behind, along with the howls of other wolves. Only then did that wolf turn and run away."

At that moment, Yuangui really thought he was going to die and used his last bit of strength to hide.

Before long, the fighting from the other side shifted to his location. He saw Jiang Kuangyu and several others fighting with a group of wolves.

Both sides were injured, and eventually two wolves were killed, and Jiang Kuangyu and his group left.

"As for the bloody clothes and broken flesh that Lu Xiangjun mentioned, it might have been mine or it could have belonged to Jiang Kuangyu's men. And Jiang Kuangyu did something to make others believe that he fell off the cliff and was eaten by wild animals, which also indirectly confirmed my death."

Shu Yu suddenly realized, "So Jiang Kuangyu wasn't sure if you were alive or not, but with so many wolves around and one of them biting you, he probably guessed that you were eaten?"

"Perhaps." Even if Jiang Kuangyu suspected he was still alive, he didn't have the opportunity or time to come and find him back then.

Later, Yuangui didn't return to Dong'an Prefecture and didn't appear in the vicinity, so Jiang Kuangyu probably believed he was really dead.

It made sense; he had been shot with an arrow, fallen from such a high cliff, and encountered a pack of wolves. Only someone with extraordinary luck could survive.

Unfortunately, Yuangui was that very person who survived.

"What happened next? How did you get rescued?"

"I know a bit of medical knowledge, so I managed to administer some first aid to myself. However, my injuries were too severe, and honestly, staying alive was a blessing from heaven. I had to leave the bottom of the cliff; it was too dangerous. Later, I climbed to a nearby river and found a dilapidated bamboo raft. I climbed onto it and floated away with the current."
