There is a ridge in front, protected by a wooden fence, with an iron sign saying "Danger". Although the canyon is not particularly high, the scenery is very unique. The mountain walls on both sides squeeze in, and you can only look through a gap more than one meter wide.
Opposite is a waterfall. Below the waterfall is a shallow beach with a gurgling stream.
"It would be nice if it was not a practical training, but an outing." Han Xiaotao leaned on the wooden railing and looked down, saying with a longing expression.
"You can take a fancy to a small place like this. It is indeed a common people's appreciation point." Cui Minhao stopped her.
Han Xiaotao rolled her eyes at him and was too lazy to argue with him.
At this moment, her phone rang.
Han Xiaotao quickly took out her cell phone, and it turned out to be a call from home. "Ah?" She took a breath of air and turned to look at Cui Minhao.
"What are you doing? Answer the phone." Cui Minhao didn't know why and looked at Han Xiaotao strangely. Why was this woman so startled when she answered the phone?
Han Xiaotao excused herself by saying that the cake shop was sent away to study, so grandpa wouldn't call if nothing happened. She couldn't think of a reason. Although she was afraid that her grandpa would find out, she was also afraid that something would happen to her family, so she could only answer the call.
"Hey, grandpa. Yes, the plane has arrived. It's okay. I'm used to it. It's only five days anyway. You don't have to worry. You can take good care of yourself at home. What? The sound of water?" Han Xiaotao looked around and guessed it was
The waterfall behind her. She shook her head and quickly replied: "No, no, you heard it wrong. It was the sound of an airplane. We just left the airport. There are many cars outside and it is noisy. Okay, I'm going to a meeting soon, no.
I said it, hang up."
Han Xiaotao ended the call as quickly as possible and breathed a sigh of relief. However, she didn't realize that Cui Minhao was looking at her strangely. So when she looked up, she was startled.
The hand holding the phone covered her chest to comfort her frightened little heart, while asking angrily: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"How many? Meetings?" Cui Minhao looked at her with a questioning expression on his face.
Han Xiaotao's eyes showed embarrassment and she lowered her head and said nothing. This time it seemed that Cui Minhao had caught her by the pigtails again!
"Oh, lying to grandpa~" Cui Minhao smiled strangely, with an expression of "I caught you if you were naughty", mixed with a hint of calculation and insidiousness. I don't know what he was planning in his heart.
Han Xiaotao was forced to have no way out, so she had no choice but to fight back: "What does it have to do with you?"
"Some people always say that I am uneducated. I think some people are liars themselves." Cui Minhao said proudly.
Han Xiaotao knew she was wrong and could only tolerate it, but when she thought about it, it was not her fault, and she suddenly felt confident again.
"It's not all because of you! Are you embarrassed to accuse me?"
"Hey, what does it have to do with me?" Cui Minhao finally caught her, but was bitten back, and of course he refused to admit it.
"If I hadn't signed an unlucky contract with you inexplicably, and had to go to this shabby school, and also encountered some field training, would I have lied to grandpa?" Han Xiaotao glared at Cui Minhao and said.
"Then just say it." Cui Minhao said with a relaxed expression.
"What did you say? Did you say that I signed a contract of betrayal with someone else that was humiliating the country, or that I transferred to Sakura Road High School? Do you want to scare him to death?" Han Xiaotao muttered and put the phone back in his pocket. But I don't know what happened.
It wasn't that she was too excited to argue. Just as she was about to put her phone into her pocket, she accidentally slipped it out. "Mobile phone!" Han Xiaotao yelled and subconsciously reached out to grab it. But she forgot about the terrain she was on.
With a violent bending movement, she was immediately thrown out of the wooden railing.
"ah!"
Han Xiaotao screamed and wanted to grab something, but her hand was empty. But at that moment, a generous palm grabbed her wrist. She raised her head and saw Cui Minhao jumping from the wooden railing.
Li bent down and came out to grab her hand. But for Cui Minhao, the wooden railing was not as high as his waist, so he couldn't use the strength of his waist and could only rely on his arms to support it.
"Catch it!" Cui Minhao struggled to squeeze out four words.
Han Xiaotao looked down and felt dizzy. The cool breeze was blowing on her feet, which made her feel chilly.
"Help!" Han Xiaotao shouted desperately.
Cui Minhao grabbed her wrist with all his strength, but he still felt her sliding down a little bit. "Don't move!" Cui Minhao reminded her with a held breath. He took out the pager from his pocket with his other hand and pressed the call button.
teammate.
Because of the distraction, the strength in Cui Minhao's hand also weakened a bit, and Han Xiaotao fell hard.
"Ah!" She screamed in fright, her heart bulging and full of uneasiness. What to do? She's dead! There's no one around here, no shit, and the sound of the waterfall is so loud, even if she calls for help, she can't help her.
You may not be able to hear it. If the two people continue to stalemate like this, they will lose their lives sooner or later.
When Cui Minhao heard her cry, he threw the pager in his hand and used his other hand to replace it. The pager fell into the canyon, and after a while, he heard a crisp "pop" sound. Cui Minhao didn't care about this.
, grasped Han Xiaotao's wrist tightly with both hands, and his face turned red. After supporting it for a while, Han Xiaotao began to slowly slide down, and two deep red blood stains appeared on his fair skin.
"Hold my hand and don't let go!" Cui Minhao shouted hoarsely.
Han Xiaotao looked down at the canyon, then looked up at Cui Minhao's exhausted face, and her heart twisted into a ball. In order to catch her, Cui Minhao had already stretched out more than half of his body, and his whole body was already crumbling. But he didn't seem to know that he was muddy.
In other words, he didn't care at all about the Bodhisattva's situation when he crossed the river. He just gritted his teeth and grabbed Han Xiaotao desperately, ignoring the bursts of tearing pain in his arms, as if his muscles, bones, and flesh were about to be separated.
Han Xiaotao closed her eyes, listened to the wind in her ears, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind and shouted: "Cui Minhao, let go!"
"What?" Cui Minhao was stunned for a moment, then his hand loosened, and Han Xiaotao fell down again. Cui Minhao could only reach out a little more, but still held on to her.
"I said, let go!" Han Xiaotao shouted and repeated.
"Are you crazy?" Cui Minhao shouted at a higher volume.
"If you hold on to me, you will only be dragged down by me, and then we will have no choice but to fall together. It is better for one person to die than two people to die!" Han Xiaotao said with a frown.
"You can fall to death in such a shallow canyon. Do you really think you are a clay doll? I am not as fragile as you!" Cui Minhao's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words to reject Han Xiaotao's death wish.
idea.
I can still joke now! Han Xiaotao wanted to laugh, but couldn't. She continued to look up and said to him: "Then if I fall and become crippled, I will be dependent on you for the rest of my life!"
"Who wants you when you are disabled? If you come here in one piece, I will still consider it." Cui Minhao still had a condescending tone, but it didn't sound as annoying as before.
Han Xiaotao stared blankly at the way he refused to let go. Her heart was as messy as a deer bumping into each other. She could almost hear her own strong heartbeat through the sound of the waterfall. Perhaps it was saying that she wanted to live.
She really wants to live. However, if she can't survive and drags down innocent people, it will be a big sin. Even if she goes to heaven, she will be kicked to hell. She, Han Xiaotao, thinks that she has never done anything bad in her life, but she can't
Fell into this matter.
"Cui Minhao, if I die, can I ask you a favor?"
"No. Of course you have to do your own thing." Cui Minhao said decisively.
"I'm already dying, and you're still going against me?" Han Xiaotao glared at Cui Minhao.
"Isn't he not dead yet?" Cui Minhao pursed his lips, as if he could use more energy. His handsome face was filled with perseverance, as if it didn't matter to him whether the sky fell or not.
"I mean, if. If I die, you give the pink peach garden to my grandfather. He has worked hard for the peach garden all his life. As a granddaughter, I am unfilial. I can't help him fulfill his wish when he is alive. At least I must let my grandfather have it after he dies.
It's a comfort." Han Xiaotao became sad. She thought about her wonderful youth and her old grandfather, and felt uncomfortable in her heart.
"You woman, how can you still say so many words at this time?" Cui Minhao's voice became hoarse. While he was trying to catch her, he also had to deal with her inexplicable thoughts. This feeling was really bad.
"Don't forget the stipulations in the contract. The Taoyuan will be yours only if you successfully complete the task. If you die now, I won't care about you!"
"Hey, no matter how you say it, I'm considered a 'work-related injury', so you have to compensate me!" Han Xiaotao persisted.
"Let's settle this debt with me after you come up." Cold sweat trickled down Cui Minhao's cheeks, and his strength was gradually drained away. He felt that his head was getting heavier and his consciousness was a little unclear.
.
Han Xiaotao saw that Cui Minhao was about to lose his support, so he stopped talking so that he could save some energy.
Unexpectedly, Cui Minhao seemed to feel something and was afraid that he would not be able to hold on. He said with difficulty in his voice: "You can't die."
Han Xiaotao looked at his painful expression, and those words seemed like a surge of heat rushing into her heart, overpowering her fear.
His bangs were wet with sweat and pressed against Cui Minhao's forehead, which made him feel bored. He felt like he was about to suffocate, and his whole body leaned forward uncontrollably. The only thing that was clear was his hand that refused to let go.
The moment Han Xiaotao raised her head, she saw Cui Minhao flipping out of the railing without any strength. She shouted in horror: "Let go!" But it was too late, Cui Minhao fell straight towards her.
Cui Minhao seemed to have completely lost consciousness. He only felt that his body was as soft as cotton, and the wind was whistling in his ears, but he still had the only thought in his mind.
