That is a truly new story taking place outside the scenic area during a trip. The protagonists of this story are not just two elders.
One day, the two elders left the tour group and walked hand in hand to the cliff to watch the sunset. The setting sun was infinitely beautiful. The land was burning with orange-red morning glow, like a colorful rain from the moon, splashing on the rocks and grass, jumping and sparkling with radiant sunlight.
The two individuals were deeply intoxicated by the magnificent scenery when suddenly, she felt something falling beside her. Instinctively, she reached out and grabbed it — it was her husband who had fallen over the edge. She held onto his collar and tried her best to pull him up, but all her efforts seemed futile. He hung under the cliff, not daring to move randomly, as both would fall into the valley and die instantly if he did. She could barely hold him up. Her hands went numb, her arms swelled and contracted, feeling as though they might tear off from her body at any moment. She realized that her strong arms couldn't support his heavy body, so she bit down hard on his collar with her teeth, determined to hold on until the last moment. She hoped someone would suddenly appear and save them!
He hung on the cliff, his life dangling between life and death. In the twilight of the deep mountain, who else would come to the cliff? Realizing this, he said: "Let go, my dear...".
She clenched her teeth tightly and couldn’t speak, only using her eyes to signal him not to make a sound.
1 minute passed.
2 minutes passed.
10 minutes passed.
In the dim light, he felt warm, sticky liquid dripping onto his face. He slowly realized it was blood flowing from her mouth, carrying a faintly fishy taste. He pleaded with her again: "Please, my dear, let go! Your love is enough. Facing life and death, I wouldn’t blame you...".
She still clung firmly to his collar, unable to speak. She could only use her eyes to stop him from struggling again.
1 hour passed.
2 hours passed.
He felt small, warm droplets landing on his face; he knew she was bleeding from all seven orifices. His heart ached helplessly. He understood that she was fighting against death with a resolute heart. He realized then how heavy the weight of life was, as Death hovered above him, its wings flapping powerfully, ready to snatch away life at any moment...
An unknown amount of time passed before the tour group found them holding torches at the edge of the cliff and finally rescued them both. She was hospitalized for quite some time in a nearby hospital.
After the incident, all her teeth fell out, and she never walked again.
Every day, he pushed her in a wheelchair down the street to watch the sunset. He said: "Why did you bother risking your life to save me, this old fool? Look at you now, your teeth...".
She murmured: "My beloved, if I had lost focus that moment, I would have lost not only you, but also the happiness of my entire life..."
He pushed her towards the sunset.
