Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 803: Someone on the Rope

"Haha!" The speaker burst into a foolish laugh.

"Let’s go and check under the cliff first to see whether the rope has been bitten through by wild animals. Otherwise, without a rope, we can’t get out."

"Alright, we’ll go with you!"

A group laughed and chatted as they headed toward the base of the cliff. However, before reaching the bottom, Luo Lan noticed something amiss and pointed towards the high cliff, saying, "Look, there’s someone on the rope!"

At this remark, the companions immediately looked towards the cliff. Indeed, they saw someone descending from above.

"Quick, go and inform my father!" Luo Lan called out, prompting one of the companions to turn and dash back into the village.

"Miss Lan, what do we plan to do next?" someone asked Luo Lan.

"I’ll go ahead and take a look, to see who they really are!"

"Alright, we’ll go with you."

The remaining group proceeded towards the cliff base, while Niu Yong and the others descending from above hadn’t realized there were people below.

Focused entirely on the steep descent, they had no leisure to glance around.

Thus, when Niu Yong’s feet finally touched the ground, he stared blankly upon seeing Luo Lan and the others standing before him.

Luo Lan scrutinized the man before her, finding him oddly familiar. Yet she couldn’t immediately recall where she’d seen him before, until she took note of Niu Yong’s attire.

No wonder he seemed familiar; it was because of an aura she had seen in Mu Qiancheng. Moreover, Niu Yong’s clothes bore some resemblance to those worn by Mu Qiancheng before.

It was clear that this person was of the same kind as Mu Qiancheng.

While Luo Lan was examining Niu Yong, he too was assessing her. Previously, Mu Qiancheng and his group mentioned a village at the base of the cliff; now, seeing Luo Lan and the others, Niu Yong instantly understood they were villagers.

As Niu Yong and Luo Lan were sizing each other up, another comrade descended. Once down, he saw several men and women in ancient attire surrounding Niu Yong, and froze.

He wondered whether he’d traveled to ancient times or stumbled upon a television drama set. Then Luo Lan spoke, asking, "Who are you?"

Her words immediately snapped the newcomer back to reality, as he looked toward Luo Lan and asked Niu Yong, "Boss, who are they?"

"I’m someone sent by the government, and my name is Niu Yong. You’re villagers from Taoyuan Village, right? Could you take us to see your village chief?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"You’re sent by the government? Do you have any proof?" Luo Lan questioned Niu Yong, even though she was inclined to believe his words. Nonetheless, she felt the need to be cautious.

"Naturally, but only after meeting your village chief."

As Niu Yong finished speaking, a voice reached his ears, "I am the village chief!"

Upon hearing the voice, Niu Yong looked up, seeing a large group of people approaching. In the center was a middle-aged man, the person who had spoken.

"You’re Village Chief Luo, right? I’m Niu Yong, a soldier sent by the government with a few colleagues to discuss the relocation issue with you." As Niu Yong spoke, he produced papers from the government, handing them to Village Chief Luo.

Meanwhile, more people from the government were cautiously making their way down the cliff. However, they didn’t all descend at once, leaving some above to provide support.
