It's good to have hope. Li Tao doesn't think there is any problem with waiting for this hour. He is now extremely grateful to the other party. Although he can't see who it is, it is like redeeming himself to bring him such important news.
Like an angel.
"Okay, we understand, I will inform everyone right away."
When the other party heard the answer, he turned around and walked down the mountain. Li Tao was so excited that he was such a good man and ran over to inform him.
However, just as he was about to turn around and run up the mountain, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted the figure of the other party turning and walking down under the flashlight, which seemed to be inexplicably familiar.
He hurriedly stopped and looked at the man's back carefully. Only then did he realize that the back looked different from ordinary people. The upper body was obviously much thicker than the lower body. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that the man should be,
Carrying a huge hiking bag.
This realization made him calm down. He immediately remembered that during the climb up the mountain, he had only seen such a huge mountaineering bag on Liu Qingqing's boyfriend. Could it be that the person opposite was the man named Gong?
A healthy young man? But the other party had already left, so he could only keep this question in his heart.
Li Tao quickly turned around and ran back to the pavilion. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "There are people coming down the mountain. We are saved."
His voice was like water dripping into boiling oil, and people around him suddenly gathered around him, asking questions in all directions.
This was good, he didn't know how to speak again. Fortunately, soon, the middle-aged man came out to control the situation again. He spent a lot of effort and shouted many times before the people in the pavilion became quiet again.
He then walked up to Li Tao and asked, "There is movement at the bottom of the mountain. Has someone started building the cable bridge?"
Li Tao also replied loudly, hoping to bring this good news to everyone in the pavilion, "When I went down just now, there was a man waiting on the other side of the chain bridge. He shouted to me and said that the Park Management Bureau had begun repairs.
It’s a chain bridge.”
There was a commotion among the people around. "Great, we are finally saved." "Yeah, I thought I was going to stay here tonight." "Oh, I have to go home quickly, I want to eat, I'm starving to death
." "No, we will look for them later. The park management staff have to give us some food and drink first."
The middle-aged man tried his best to shout several more times before he suppressed everyone's discussion. He continued to ask Li Tao: "Did that person say when they can build the first cable bridge?"
Li Tao hurriedly said: "That person said that the first iron lock bridge will be repaired in about an hour."
After hearing that it would take another hour, some people were unhappy. "What? You have to wait for another hour. I am cold and hungry in this poor place." "How can these people be so slow?"
"That's right, I can't stay here for even a minute." A few impatient people couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that the rain outside was not very heavy, they simply left the pavilion and walked quickly to the chain bridge.
The middle-aged man did not stop their actions. Now that he knew the exact news, he was not in a hurry. He turned around and said to the people still in the pavilion: "Everyone heard it, and people will come in an hour."
Build this iron lock bridge, and then we can go down the mountain. In short, we won't let everyone stay here overnight." Everyone who stayed here accepted the news. After all, waiting for an hour was better than spending a whole night here.
Get up and accept it much easier.
Liu Qingqing's classmates surrounded Li Tao, "You're so good, you're so good. You really hit the right person after going out." "Yeah, you're pretty lucky. You actually met someone."
Everyone was talking to each other, but soon someone discovered that Li Tao's condition was abnormal. Normally, this kid would have been very nervous now, but now, he just lowered his head and listened to everyone's discussion.
A classmate who had a good relationship with him poked him with his elbow. "What's wrong with you? Now you know the exact time to go down the mountain, so why do you feel so weak?"
Li Tao was in a very complicated mood now. He answered his buddy's question in a low voice. "The man who was shouting with me on the other side of the cable bridge just now looks a bit like Gong Jian."
"Gong Jian? Oh, you mean Liu Qingqing's boyfriend. Are you sure?" The boy didn't expect that there was something hidden in it.
Li Tao shook his head, "It was too dark and I couldn't see what the person opposite looked like. I could tell there was someone on the other side because he was using the light of his mobile phone to dangle around. But when he turned around and left, I looked at him
Carrying a huge bag behind him."
Of course, Li Tao doesn't want to admit that he mistook a person for a ghost at first and scared himself to death.
His good friend also fell silent, "That should be him. We have never seen anyone else as exaggerated as him, carrying such a big bag. Then he, Liu Qingqing and the others are trapped below.
At the Iron Lock Bridge, I don’t know how they survived the afternoon with such a heavy wind and rain?”
Li Tao also fell silent. Yes, it was a stormy afternoon. They all suffered a lot while huddled in this pavilion. I don't know how Liu Qingqing, that little girl, suffered.
But Li Tao felt from the bottom of his heart that things might be different from what they imagined. The man's shout sounded full of energy. His spirit was much better than his own. Could it be that they didn't get caught in the rain at all, but went straight down the mountain?
But that's not right. The man clearly said that people from the Park Management Bureau are repairing the first chain bridge, which means that the two chain bridges are also impassable.
Li Tao rubbed his head. He had no food in his stomach now, and his thinking ability had also weakened a lot. "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, we can go down the mountain in another hour." When this was mentioned, the students became happy again.
stand up.
Li Tao's guess was good. The person he was talking to was Gong Jian. When the first cable bridge was halfway through repair, Gong Jian and the others were bored, leaning against the mountain wall, watching the workers repairing it. They were a little agitated.
When they got sleepy, the person opposite with the loudspeaker shouted to them again.
"People on the other side, can you please go to the chain bridge on the mountain and help us take a look? If you encounter people on the mountain, can you inform them? We will definitely go up to rescue them today."
It seems that these maintenance personnel also know that today's time delay is too late. They want to comfort the people trapped on the top of the mountain as soon as possible. (To be continued)
