This situation made me feel embarrassed, and I didn't know how to explain it. After looking around at everyone's almost identical shocked expressions, I could only smile awkwardly.

"Mr. Wei, are you afraid of heights?" An older staff member seemed to have finally noticed my abnormal behavior.

I nodded in embarrassment, clenched my fists nervously, and put them on my knees, like a student who made a mistake.

"Sorry Mr. Wei, we didn't think carefully and took you up the mountain without understanding your situation clearly. If Mr. Wei feels unwell, wait until we reach the top of the mountain. Mr. Wei will rest in the post house first. As for Mr. Wei's friends, we will

Find a way to rescue!"

"No, no, no, no need!" I interrupted hastily.

"I'm okay and can hold on. My friend's condition is unknown now. We must rush to save her as soon as possible!"

I was telling the truth. Huashan Mountain is so steep, and her life would be in danger if she made the slightest mistake. If she was put in unknown danger because of my fear, I would not be able to do it no matter what.

Several staff members looked at each other, and then the older man said: "Is Mr. Wei really okay? Do you know that the place where your friend is trapped is more dangerous than the cable car? If Mr. Wei is not mentally prepared for this

, then it won’t be of any help!”

The meaning of his words was very obvious. He probably thought that even though I was scared to death when riding a cable car, I couldn't walk on a cliff. He didn't know that just now, I had experienced a rebirth in a sense.

"Believe me, I'm fine, I can do it!" I was worried about Mu Xichun's safety, and I deliberately sounded sure, but in fact, I wasn't very confident in my heart.

It's just that the current situation no longer allows me to retreat, so I can only take one step at a time. If I don't push myself, how can I know whether I can do it or not.

The older staff member nodded approvingly at me.

"This friend of yours must have a very important place in your heart! Even though he knew that he was afraid of heights, he still went up the mountain to save her. Is she your girlfriend?" another staff member asked.

"No, you are wrong. She is not my girlfriend, but my boss! If anything happens to her, I have an unavoidable responsibility!" I didn't want them to misunderstand, so I told the truth.

Several people nodded in sudden realization, looking at me with a bit of strangeness in their eyes, but I was in no mood to carefully chew on their reactions at the moment!

The hanging box quickly reached the top of the mountain. When it stopped, I walked out of the door. My legs were so sore that I had no strength at all.

The last time I had this feeling in my memory was after participating in a track and field meet in middle school, and this time I just completed a high-altitude trip.

Thinking about everything I had just experienced in mid-air, and now that my feet were on solid ground again, I felt as if I was in a different world.

After getting off the cable car, the staff once again confirmed whether I wanted to follow them. After knowing my affirmative reply, they took me to another peak without stopping at all.

Seeing the sign on the top of the mountain, I realized that we took the cable car only to the top of the West Peak, and the place where Mu Xichun was trapped was an attraction called the Changkong Plank Road, and the staff had told me in advance that the place where Mu Xichun was trapped was at

South Peak.

I didn't ask too much. I guess the route they chose must be the one that saves the most time.

At this moment, I am standing on the top of the West Peak of Huashan Mountain, looking at the sea of ​​clouds at my feet and the mountain tops exposed in the sea of ​​clouds. It reminds me of a poem by Li Bai: I will be at the top of the mountain, and I will see all the small mountains. But I don’t know who Li Bai was at the time.

On which mountain was this poem written?

But I was in no mood to visit these magnificent scenery at the moment, so I hurriedly followed the staff to another mountain top.

Although this road was walking on the ridge, fortunately the mountain road was relatively wide, so I did not feel the fear of being in the highlands. Maybe it was because some of my nerves had quietly undergone some changes, God knows!

About half an hour later, a group of us had arrived at the South Peak. When I saw the sky plank road carved on a stone tablet, I knew that I was not too far away from Mu Xichun.

South Peak is the highest peak among the five peaks of Huashan Mountain, and the mountain is also the tallest and steepest. I learned this from a Huashan Mountain travel brochure in the hotel room last night.

However, when I was there, I was still shocked. The Long Sky Plank Road is built on the steepest side of the south peak of Huashan Mountain, almost at a perpendicular angle to the ground.

The Huashan Plank Road is being built halfway up the south peak. You need to explore some distance from the top of the mountain to reach the so-called most dangerous sky plank road in the world!

I thought that my experience in the cable car had changed me, but when I really reached the top and looked down, I realized that such a height still made me change my mind without relying on safety like the cable car.

Feeling heartbroken.

At this moment, the fog has faded a lot, and the field of view is much further than when I first arrived. Even so, I still can't see the foot of the mountain. I just feel that the entire mountain peak is rising out of the clouds for no reason, which reminds me of Journey to the West.

Inside the fairyland of Yaochi.

The staff helped me tie the safety rope to my body and told me about safety essentials. One of the two safety ropes must be hung on the iron rope and not both should be removed at the same time. This way, even if I accidentally slip, I will not fall off the cliff.

Little life.

In fact, I understand this without him having to say it. After all, my life is my own. I even tried to test the strength of the safety rope, but obviously my worries were unnecessary. If I can't even guarantee this, it would be too childish.

!

After tying the safety rope, two staff members accompanied me and guided me to where Mu Xichun was.

I walked in front, followed by two staff members. My heart began to beat rapidly from the moment I tied the safety rope. Now that everything is ready to set off, that fear once again enveloped my heart.

.

It's just that I don't feel dizzy and my eyes turn black like before, but I still feel dizzy.

I closed my eyes and encouraged myself secretly: Wei Jinsheng, you can do it, you can definitely do it.

I took a deep breath, hung the safety rope on the iron rope on the cliff, and took my first step.

I tried not to look down, and tried my best to only look at the small area in front of me, so as to avoid my fear from rising again.

Accompanied by two staff members, I walked down the cliff for a certain distance and finally saw a road running on the cliff.

In fact, it can't be called a road at all, but a plank of less than a foot built with horizontal holes drilled into the vertical cliff.

A steel cable and an iron chain are fixed parallel to the top of the wooden board. The steel cable is used to hang the safety rope, while the iron chain is used to hold the safety rope.

, to ensure your body's balance.

While secretly encouraging myself, I moved forward cautiously and tentatively.

At the beginning, there was a section of stone steps dug into the cliff that could only accommodate one foot. After passing the stone steps, you went up to a plank road made of wooden planks.

In order to prevent my fear from causing trouble again, I kept my gaze level with the stone wall in front of me, pressed my chest and abdomen as close to the stone wall as possible, and brought my center of gravity as close to the stone wall as possible.

Moving forward step by step, I know that my heart's ability to withstand the fear of this height has reached its limit. If something goes wrong, even if I am protected by a safety rope and will not fall into the mountain stream, it will definitely exceed my heart's tolerance limit.

.

Whether I can move on like this, only God knows.

The plank road, which is dozens of meters long, is actually not too long, but if it is set on such a high cliff, I can guarantee that no one will be able to pass it without any psychological burden.

Although it is summer at this time, due to the high altitude, the temperature at the top of the mountain is very suitable.

But even so, by the time I reached the halfway point of the plank road, I was already sweating profusely and my mouth was dry.

Sweat was pouring into my eyes so hard that I could hardly see. I knew this was naturally caused by excessive stress and fear.

This forced me to stop my trembling steps and take out a tissue paper from my pocket to wipe the sweat on my face.

At this moment, a gust of mountain wind suddenly blew, and the tissue paper I just took out was blown away by the mountain wind before I could hold it firmly. I instinctively reached out to grab it, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

What I didn't expect even more was that this action of leaning forward and grabbing actually caused my body, which was clinging to the cliff, to lose its balance. Even though I was dancing and trying my best to maintain my balance, the space I could use was really limited, and my body moved outward uncontrollably.

Go diagonally.

This unexpected incident suddenly made me scared out of my mind. Although I was protected by a safety rope, I was just hanging in mid-air, and there was no real danger, but the feeling of being suspended upside down swept over me again.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of urinary incontinence again. Different from the previous time in the cable car, where I was completely unaware, now I can clearly feel this feeling.

Although I was extremely frightened at this moment, my mind could still think about it. Such a shameful thing must not happen twice in one day.

I tried my best to resist the urge to pee, closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down. In order to regain the feeling of my body, I even pinched my thigh hard. The severe pain suddenly made me sober.

He managed to hold on to the safety rope with both hands and stood up again.

However, after this incident, my already sore and weak legs were now as heavy as lead. Not only was I shivering violently, but I couldn't take a step forward!

I swallowed hard and looked back at the two staff members behind me.

"How are you, Mr. Wei?" The staff member looked concerned and intolerable when he saw me like this.

"I...!" I was about to speak, but the dryness in my throat made me unable to speak.

The staff quickly handed me a bottle of water.

I took a few sips before I felt better.
Chapter completed!
