Zhu Qianying held her breath as she descended to the point where she could see under the boulder. She first closed her eyes, took a deep breath, said a silent prayer in her heart, and then opened her eyes.
However, the depression beneath the boulder was deep and dimly lit. Zhu Qianying leaned over the strong rope, squinted to look in, but only saw a blur of black.
"Baby boy, baby boy, are you here? Can you hear mommy's voice? Baby boy!" Zhu Qianying shouted into the hole. She didn't have any tools to search, not even a torch for illumination.
All she could do was to shout into the hole.
The waterfall's cascade from above hits the surface of the pool with a sound like thunder, hence, Zhu Qianying's shouts were completely drowned by the sound of the gushing water.
Zhu Qianying understood that shouting was futile after a few cries. She straightened up, clung to the rock wall like a gecko, and looked up at Yan Shao who was just a few dozen centimeters above her.
