But we started to set off normally as if nothing had happened.
Na Jintang began to climb up the cliff, and he led the team first. After he climbed up, he would throw a rope down to us.
Due to disrepair, the weathering on the surface has peeled off. He stepped on the weathered stone and almost fell down. Fortunately, his martial arts immediately stabilized his body. He began to feel like climbing on the cliff, and I followed him closely.
Behind him is Cao Kun, and the three of us are tied together by a rope. After a few times in front of us, we can only follow him a few steps forward. In other words, we are now ants on a rope.
Grasshopper, if it were to fall, all three of us would be shattered into pieces.
When Na Jintang climbed to a stronghold very calmly, he would stabilize his position at that place to ensure that he would not fall, and then lower his head and give me an order, "Let's go." After hearing the order, I then said to him.
He also followed his original route to climb the rock. At the same time, Cao Kun and I were climbing at the same time.
We all followed him closely, and the soles of his feet were always on top of my head. The distance was not very far at this time. It should be possible to reach him in 30 minutes under normal circumstances, but the most dangerous place for him is that this stone wall is very dangerous.
Approaching the edge of the cliff. If one is not careful, we still have the best chance of being on the edge of the cliff.
In fact, to put it bluntly, we just took a small turn from the cliff and went directly to the top floor of the attic. I began to regret making such a choice. It might be easier to find a path through the osmanthus trees. This is a road of death.
, but it focuses on saving time, a simple and crude road to death.
When we were about to reach the corner, Na Jintang said in a low voice over my head: "Adjust your breathing and keep an appropriate distance. Don't let your hands and feet become too numb. After passing the corner at our house, you can go directly."
Hit the top of the small attic. The wind outlet in this corner is a bit big, so be sure to breathe normally and don't look down."
"Okay!" I replied that he was a bit duplicitous. At this critical moment, people still have an instinct for survival. The more I don't want to look at the thing, the more I want to take a look. I secretly glanced down.
We were literally hanging on the mountainside. Looking down, I felt a sense of bloodshed. The place below was so shocking that my hands shook involuntarily. I tried my best to control my nervousness.
Through the vibration of the rope, I felt that Cao Kun was not much better. I felt that he was also breathing heavily, and his breathing was rapid and short.
Na Jintang seemed to be aware of the abnormal situation between the two of us. He looked down at the two of us. At this time, his voice was gentle and calm, and he had a very powerful feeling: "Okay, let's stop for now.
Stay still and adjust your breathing. It only takes a minute for us to cross this corner. Let me cross the corner and reach the small attic immediately. Now don't try to eliminate all the complicated things in your head. Just
Think about it, if we go to the small attic immediately, there might be a golden book up there with us."
His voice was very encouraging, and I found a little strength after listening to it. You said that I can't hold back at this time. If I am confused at this time, it will become complicated for Cao Kun. The three of us must
Let’s leave together, because the three of us are already tied together, and no one can break away at this time.
I closed my eyes and adjusted my breathing, although I was still very nervous because I was still a little embarrassed about the cliff.
Cao Kun made a childish cry: "I'm not afraid of this." Looking at him emboldened him.
I almost wanted to die laughing. I had never seen an official gang leader use such a childish way to cheer for me. I never expected that at this moment, he was more like a scholar who had read the Book of Songs.
The rest time that can only be given to us is very short. After less than a minute, we start to adjust our emotions: "Okay, we don't have time now, we must leave right away. As long as this minute passes, it will be fine."
Finally we arrived at the corner. This corner steamer-like place was only about eight or nine feet wide and was deeply sunk in. On the top, there were several vines growing from the cracks in the stone, hanging like a door curtain.
On the opposite side of it, there is a stone ridge for stepping on.
Then Najintang said to us: "We can use these vines to get through."
This reminds me of the scene on the cliff with my cousin Jin Chaser when I was sixteen years old. We had experienced all this before, but in retrospect, we are even more scared now. At that time, newborn calves were not afraid.
Tigers only focus on escaping for their lives, and do not take into account more fears.
If I were to face it again, I would rather choose not to face it again. This fear is self-evident.
Na Jintang looked down at me with a smile: "Mao Jiujiu shouldn't be scared anymore, right? I still remember that you saved me once by holding on to the vines." There was a hint of ridicule in his words, and I
Cao Kun knew that he wanted to relax my mood and comfort me at the same time.
Although I was very scared, I couldn't show it or influence Cao Kun. In fact, I was very tangled in my heart, and my heart was hanging tighter. The main reason was that I was worried that the vine would be pulled and the consequences of falling would be unimaginable. Just when I
While hesitating, I heard Cao Kun's shout.
"Brother, is it possible that the vines are not strong enough? The later one cannot support us enough. This is too dangerous, isn't it..."
Na Jintang pulled the vines with his hands to see if they were tough. After getting his confirmation, he comforted Cao Kun: "It doesn't matter much. We will swing over one by one later. Try to loosen the rope first, and then wait."
I'll swing over first, and you guys will go one by one, so don't worry too much. As long as you're brave and careful, you'll be fine."
I also jokingly said to Cao Kun: "I think I also played with these vines back then, just think of them as swings." While I was comforting him, I was actually comforting myself, because at this time I was on the same path.
If we go back, of course it is not impossible, it will consume a lot of time and energy, and we must have Cao Kun to lead us down. It seems that he is not good at rock climbing. Come to think of it, it may be more dangerous than climbing on crutches.
, if I choose one of them, I would rather choose to move forward.
Cao Kun replied loudly: "Let's get started." Although there was still a slight tremor in his tone, judging from the sound of his voice, it was not frightening.
Then we continue to start.
Na Jintang handed me the spear in his hand, pulled it through the vines, and it seemed to be relatively strong. Then he selected four spears and grabbed them in his hand, and said very sincerely: "I'm here
I'll wait for you over there." He kicked his feet and quickly left the edge of the wall, dangling in the air!
He swung over very easily. It seemed that even if he was very relaxed, he should be in a more relaxed mood like me before. The most important thing is to relax his body and mind.
I don't need to rush through like him, otherwise I may not have the courage to follow. If I procrastinate in this link, it will affect Cao Kun's mood. I must not let him know my fear! No matter what
How, the most critical point lies in me. What are the two of them looking at? One is looking forward to it, the other is looking at it questioningly.
Last time I heard Cao Kun muttering to himself in a low voice: "It's too dangerous, I can't get through this time..."
I know that he is retreating, and I must not let him go. If he leaves, then all the efforts made today will be in vain. How I want to see the appearance of ten thousand taels of gold.
Basically, I didn’t have too much time to hesitate.
Immediately I imitated Na Jintang's behavior and grabbed the vines, closing my eyes tightly and biting my lips, knowing that Na Jintang must be waiting for me in front.
Encouraged by Na Jintang, I worked up my energy, seized the opportunity, glared at the vine with my foot, and successfully let it go!
I took a breath in my heart, and for a second I felt like I was going to die. I couldn't imagine why I could survive. It was as unpredictable as a dream. I finally got over it, and I defeated myself again.
This time it was Cao Kun's turn. Well, Cao Kun was also pale. He probably didn't want to show too much cowardice. So he coughed to cover up his nervousness. Na Jintang said to him loudly: "As long as you are fine, I will
You can see the small attic right away.”
Perhaps these three words "small attic" made him feel that he still had this responsibility, so he began to imitate us, holding four vines in his hand. Perhaps he did not use enough strength, and the vines did not swing much.
Part of the update was pulled out of the cracks in the stone head with heavy pulling force, and it was very likely that it would be uprooted. However, Cao Kun was not aware of this situation, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat.
After all, Cao Kun is still a man. Although he has been studying since he was a child, he is a real man who grew up in the mountains.
Na Jintang didn't show excessive nervousness or panic at this time. He said in a very sincere and gentle tone: "Continue! Work harder!"
Cao Kun was very calm at this time, and took advantage of the inertia of the rebound. He pushed hard with his feet, and with a "swish" sound, he finally successfully swung over. When he stood firm on the stone ridge.
Suddenly at this moment, there was a "crash", and two vines were uprooted and fell straight into the cliff.
Seeing this scene, he turned pale with fright. If he had been a step too late, the three of us would have fallen into the cliff together without hesitation, and we would have escaped in the water.
Fortunately, the three of us climbed diagonally to the top of the wall and rested breathlessly.
We finally made it over, and we finally reached this damn corner. I swear that next time I won't let him climb on me or hold a knife to my neck. I won't think about it.
He glanced at Cao Kun from the corner of his eye. There was no blood on his face, and there were tears in his eyes. The scene just now was an extremely terrifying dream for him. He was breathing rapidly and could feel his heart pounding.
Jump.
I said to Na Jintang: "When we come down later, we must not go from here. No matter how much money you give me, I will not go down from here. Even if I get lost on the path, I must go back on the road."
I said fiercely.
Then I turned to Cao Kun: "But you suggested that we come up from here. You must find the way back for me."
Cao Kun was completely sweating, and he said very resolutely and affirmatively: "I will never go back."
