Novel Bin Chapter 1541 - His Blood Curdled
Chapter 1541: His Blood Curdled
Right then she seemed to have heard a baby crying nearby. How could there be a baby here?
Yun Xuerou caught her breath again and said deliberately, “Jing Xi, do you know your boy is still alive? He is crying for his mother. If you don’t go to him he will freeze to death.”
Her baby...
Jing Xi could not think properly now. If Yun Xuerou could have stolen her baby, she might also have been able to keep him alive. Little Apple might still be alive!
“Yunshen! Our boy is still alive! He is crying! Do you hear that?”
Jing Xi felt heartbroken upon hearing the cry. Her tears fell instantly.
“I do. We’re searching for him right now!”
Huo Yunshen also heard the cry and went for the baby. So did all his men and Heian Qingyu.
It was too dark on the cliff. They turned on the flashlights and it was still difficult to locate the boy.
The faint cries of the baby resounded among the cliffs and made it harder to identify the actual location.
Jing Xi clutched Yun Xuerou by the collar and questioned, “Where is my boy? Tell me now!”
“There, right there behind the boulder.”
Yun Xuerou pointed there. Jing Xi then knocked Yun Xuerou out and ran toward the boulder.
The baby’s resounding cry made her heartbroken.
She could no longer hold back her tears.
Getting to the place Yun Xuerou pointed to, she did find something wrapped up in cloth.
“Honey! I found him! Our boy is here! It’s Little Apple!”
Jing Xi called out and bent down to pick up the swaddle. “Baby, mommy is here. Mommy is here...”
She lifted the swaddle and opened the cloth. But then she realized it was a toy instead of a real baby.
The cries came from the toy. Getting closer she also heard something else other than the crying.
The fake baby was ticking...
Shit! It was a trap!
Jing Xi realized it and threw away the fake baby immediately.
However...
It was already too late!
It exploded instantly and fire roared across sands and rubble.
It was not her baby, but a time bomb.
Hearing the explosion, Huo Yunshen and everyone else turned to see a huge fireball on top of the cliff and a person blown away from it.
That person was thrown out in an arc.
When Huo Yunshen saw her face and realized that it was Jing Xi, he felt his blood curdle and cried out, “No...”
“Jing Xi!”
Huo Yunshen darted to the explosion despite the danger only to witness Jing Xi being blown away and falling off the cliff. He could no longer feel his heart beating from that moment.
With the light from the explosion he looked down toward the abyss by the cliff. He knew clearly how dangerous this canyon was.
He almost jumped into the abyss to search for Jing Xi when Helian Qingyu and his men stopped him in time. Huo Yunshen kept yelling toward the abyss hysterically.
“Jing Xi... Jing Xi...”
Again and again...
It felt like his heart had been shattered.
