Liu Zheng's condition was no longer as simple as being afraid of heights. The higher he went up, the slower his steps became. Sometimes, he even stopped and was shaking violently while holding on to the cliff.
She wanted to report the situation to team leader Chen Shulin, but the three people in front walked too fast and had already left them far behind.
After thinking for a moment, Gong Xue took out a four- to five-meter-long rope from her backpack and tied one end around Liu Zheng's waist and the other end around her own waist.
"Don't be afraid, I'm right behind you."
Liu Zheng did not dare to look back, but his steps were obviously much more stable than before. He slowly moved forward, and Gong Xue took the initiative to talk to Liu Zheng to alleviate his fear, "Your family is from Shandong?"
"Oh...Weifang."
"The Kite Capital of the World! Your hometown must be very beautiful. I know there is a kite museum in the urban area, as well as a miniature northern Chinese garden building, the Shiko Garden. Have you been there? Can you tell me about it..."
Gong Xue deliberately talked about topics that Liu Zheng was interested in.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zheng remained silent for a long time. Just when Gong Xue was about to change the topic, he suddenly said: "I am not from the city. My family is in a poor mountain village in Linqu County, Weifang. I went to middle school in the county high school.
I have never been to the...place you mentioned..."
Gong Xue looked at the stiff back like an iron tower in front of her, with a complex light flowing through her dark eyes. She pulled the rope around her waist and said in a soft voice: "Thank you for your confession, I will keep your secret."
Liu Zheng has always said that he is a city student. In fact, there are many students from Shandong in the national defense class, and their dialects are not as strong as Liu Zheng. It seems that Liu Zheng is a person with strong vanity and competitiveness.
The rope around his waist moved, and Liu Zheng's voice came from the front: "I am honest with you because I think you are a good person. Gong Xue, when you first came here, I was not convinced by you. I thought a woman
, How much can one achieve as a soldier? Later, when you became the district captain, I became even more angry.
I wonder if you gave Instructor Long some favors, so he is so partial to you... The first time I was impressed by you was when you were punished with push-ups. I didn't expect you to persevere, four to five hundred push-ups.
I may not be able to do it; the second time I look at you differently, it was you who accompanied me
Running five kilometers with Zhou Botong, you don’t know that at that time you were running on the field, and we were watching from the outside. At first, we thought you were very pretentious and show off, but as you ran, we felt that was not the case... because of Zhou Botong.
Our roommate knows the ability best. No one knows
I thought he could persevere, but in the end... he was actually supported by you and ran to the finish line... You may not know, Zhou Botong returned to the dormitory and cried... A big man, holding tofu cubes and crying, every day
I said in one sentence that I will repay you well and never quit national defense students."
Gong Xue tightened the rope and raised her eyebrows: "Did he really cry? When we ran to the finish line, I remembered that he kept laughing..."
The rope moved again, "Really! If you don't believe me, ask Suo Linchuan. He later persuaded Zhou Botong. He knows best!"
Gong Xue smiled and pulled the rope, "Keep going, don't stop!"
Liu Zheng moved his steps and continued: "The third time I admired you was at the shooting range. Everyone in our class knew that you had good physical fitness and that you were an expert, but they didn't know that you also had good marksmanship. Although you
At that time, you were punished for violating the regulations, but us boys will never forget your heroic appearance when shooting, you were so handsome! Really, especially the feeling when you hold the gun, it is almost the same as that gun king..."
"It's not almost the same, it's far different... The spear king is my master, how can an apprentice compare with his master?" Gong Xue smiled.
Liu Zheng shook his head, "Isn't there a saying that a person is better than an expert? I think you will definitely be better than the gun king in the future!! Gong Xue... What touched me the most was your action of saving Zhou Botong just now. No.
Everyone can risk their lives to save their classmates just like you. If it were me, I wouldn't know where to hide..."
"I didn't do anything. I can't just watch him drown."
Liu Zheng said excitedly: "The key is that you jumped into the water as soon as Zhou Botong fell in. Who can react like that in the first time? I'm afraid you jumped in to save him without even thinking about it..."
Not hearing Gong Xue's reply, Liu Zheng tugged at the rope and said, "You must have been right. Don't be humble. I know what kind of person you are after spending so much time together."
Liu Zheng, who was obviously excited, forgot about the valley hundreds of meters deep under his feet, and turned around heroically, "I obey you, Gong Xue! From now on, as long as you say a word, I, Liu Zheng, will go through fire and water.
Don’t hesitate!”
Gong Xue laughed out loud and said, "Classmate Liu Zheng, your heroic words remind me of the scene of the ancient Taoyuan sworn alliance, when black oxen and white horses were sacrificed to heaven and earth, and incense was burned to swear oaths. Do you want to be brothers with different surnames?" See
Liu Zheng's stunned expression made her smile brighter...
Maybe it was because she rarely smiled, but when she laughed suddenly, Liu Zheng felt like an epiphyllum blooming. The flowers of an epiphyllum are very beautiful, but the time they bloom for people to appreciate is very short, and they often don't wait for people to appreciate them.
The flowers lost their grace. Gong Xue's smile was more beautiful and dazzling than the flowers of Epiphyllum, but her smile was also short-lived and hard to catch.
"Of course, I'm afraid you won't be my sister." Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Gong Xue had already stopped smiling and tugged on the rope, "Forget about my brothers and sisters, they are not suitable for our national defense students at all." She pointed to the valley at her feet, then pointed to Liu Zheng, giving a thumbs up, "Today, I will also
I have to admire a person. He has overcome psychological barriers and bravely overcome psychological fears. He is the person who impresses me the most!"
Only then did Liu Zheng see that the place he was on was a narrow ladder to heaven, and less than thirty centimeters away from his feet was an abyss.
The strange thing is that he is not as scared as before. Although he still feels palpitation and panic, the sweating and trembling hands and feet have disappeared automatically.
Is your fear of heights cured?!
Is he not afraid of standing on high places anymore?!
After feeling it carefully and feeling that this was indeed the case, the extremely excited Liu Zheng couldn't help but roared towards the valley: "I'm coming up----Coming up----I'm not afraid of heights."
No more----------I'm not afraid anymore----------"
The valley below was filled with water vapor, making it look even more lush and lush. Gong Xue stood with a smile on her face, watching the panicked people in the distance hurriedly turn back.
Chen Shulin thought something had happened, so he rushed over in three steps at a time. When he found that they were fine, he exhaled and said, "Did you call us? I didn't hear a word clearly." The echo in the valley was too loud, and all he could hear was
There was a buzzing echo, thinking something was wrong with them, and the three of them were so frightened that their legs were weak.
Gong Xue stuffed the recovered rope into her backpack, glanced at the nervous Liu Zheng, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's because Liu Zheng saw the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but express his emotions!"
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment and cast a grateful look at Gong Xue.
