The sun was up in the sky. Since the sky was clear, the sun was glaring at noon. The excessive sunlight was unbearable. It woke up Mu Lan from her deep slumber. While frowning she opened her eyes and saw a clear sky. Her mouth felt dry. She opened her mouth and licked her lips. It tasted salty.
When she pulled her right hand to cover her eyes from the sunlight, she realized that her hand was numb. As she felt that, she came to remember what happened before she lost consciousness. Recalling that she shoved Mu Liang off of the cliff, her heart trembled. Then she jumped off of the cliff and fell on the river. The current of the river was powerful; it shoved her to the west. When she balanced herself, she finally saw Mu Liang's body which was hanging on a giant rock.
She couldn't call for him. She waited till she reached there. In no time, she caught the giant rock.
