Chapter 667: Past Events (2) Beyond the Cliff
However, Jiang Li's happiness was too early.
After all, Jiang Li is still young, and the explosive power from his body is also limited, so after walking a long distance with a heavy backpack on his back, he began to feel a little physically exhausted, but he was stubborn and couldn't say it.
Although there were several times when Jiang Chengyuan wanted to take the basket from him, but he couldn't do so, and even Jiang Chengyuan threatened: "If you don't give it to me, you will have to carry it until we come back!"
Jiang Li's face squeezed out a smile, and he didn't speak, as if to say: "What is this, who is afraid of whom!"
Although Jiang Li looks a little tired, he still has a very stubborn tenacity with a very strong Huigen, so he can barely bear these things after gradually adapting to them.
Jiang Chengyuan took Jiang Li to the cliff at the east end of the village for the first time, and he hadn't been here for a long time, but as a person who collected medicine, the danger was nothing, as long as they found the life-saving herbs they needed, it was worth everything.
"Grandpa, do I want to go down too?" Jiang Li stood at the peak of the abyss, looking at the empty darkness under his feet, and seemed to be a little scared.
"Of course, since you have come here with me, do you still have to wait here for grandpa to come up?" Jiang Chengyuan knew that the height here was indeed a great deterrent, and because it was late and darkness was coming, there would be some wild wolf roars in the valley in the distance from time to time, so to some extent, it would still give people a thrilling feeling, for adults, let alone a child who was only six or seven years old. In this kind of place, I am afraid that adults will not dare to go to the edge of the cliff late at night, let alone go down to the bottom of the cliff to discredit.
If you want to go down to the bottom of the cliff, there is only one way for Jiang Li and them, that is, to climb down the vines on the cliff little by little, because this cliff is full of all kinds of vines, so it looks like a rope falling from the sky, although it is not connected, but it can still slowly go down to the bottom of the cliff along these vines.
Although Jiang Li's feet were not trembling, he was still a little scared, after all, it was the first time he had come to this kind of place, and even the cold wind blowing from the valley would make people feel their legs and feet numb.
"Let's go, don't stand here and think about it!" Jiang Chengyuan's reminder is still very necessary, because in this case, if you go down with all your mind, then you will really go down, but if you stand here and be stunned for a long time, the mood will naturally be very different, because the fear in everyone is not innate, but slowly deepens with their imagination, and then it evolves into fear.
Therefore, when Jiang Li's mood has not completely become afraid, Jiang Chengyuan has to interrupt him in advance, because only in this way can Jiang Li completely muster up the courage to complete this journey, only when a person's mood is completely strengthened, can he resist all irresistible external factors, if a person has grown up thoroughly, he can have such a very strong self-ability.
Jiang Cheng Yuanjian saw that under his own urging, there was still no movement, and he was a little anxious at this moment, because he didn't want to see his grandson grinding like this, so he gently wrapped a circle of vines around Jiang Li's body when he was unconscious, and then gently pushed it, and Jiang Li left the highest peak of this cliff.
After Jiang Li was in the air for a moment, he immediately returned to the cliff, and then grabbed the vine tightly with both hands, and shouted to his grandfather: "Grandpa, grandpa!"
Jiang Chengyuan didn't know when he was already by his side, I saw that he was also holding a vine in his hand, and then looked at Jiang Li and said: "I said it, it's going to be fine, it's like we swinging at home1"
Although Jiang Li is very young, he also knows that since he has come down, he can't go back, so he can only say ruthlessly in his heart: "Okay, grandpa, but you must be by my side to protect my safety!"
"Yes, I won't leave you!" Jiang Chengyuan patted his grandson's shoulder and said encouragingly: "You have taken this step safely, which proves that you have no problem going down, in my mind, you are a bold boy, don't let grandpa underestimate you!"
Jiang Li nodded fiercely, and then began to slowly climb down, Jiang Chengyuan also did not leave Jiang Li for a moment as he said just now.
This cliff still has a certain characteristic, although it is straight up and down, without a little slope, but on this cliff is indeed full of all kinds of vines, so that the whole cliff is on some places where the vines grow a lot, you can sit down and rest on it.
When he was about halfway up the mountain, Jiang Chengyuan grabbed Jiang Li and said, "Let's rest here for a while!"
Jiang Li naturally has no problem, because this journey just now also made him feel a little tired, although the child's backbone is still there, but the physical strength is still limited, but one thing is certain, that is, after Jiang Li has gone down to a certain distance, there is no longer a little bit of fear in his heart. This also just proves what Jiang Chengyuan said, Jiang Li has completely recognized himself, and he can also say that he has also climbed off the cliff, which can be described as an inexpressible glory!
After resting for a while, Jiang Li took the lead in picking up the basket again, shook his grandfather's body and said, "Let's go, grandpa, we must rush to the foot of the mountain at dawn!"
Jiang Chengyuan nodded, although he knew that the issue of time was also under his control, these were all no problem, if he was not mistaken, they could at least rest here for half an hour, but because of the windside on this mountainside, it was easy to catch a cold, and he was afraid that Jiang Li would suddenly fall asleep and a series of factors, so Jiang Chengyuan didn't say much, but continued to start their trip.
Jiang Li is not an ordinary child, he also has his own skills in learning to climb vines, I saw him quickly wrap a rattan around his body, and then slowly fall down, until the rattan wrapped around his body became shorter, and then he began to choose another rattan. Repeating the cycle, this not only saves physical strength, but also very importantly, allows Jiang Li's speed to reach a very fast speed. And Jiang Chengyuan is different, because he is larger, so it is not very convenient to do so, and he can only use some of the most primitive methods to go down little by little.
Therefore, in terms of speed, Jiang Li is superior, so Jiang Li has to reach the bottom of the cliff before Jiang Cheng.
When Jiang Li first arrived below, because he was still a little tired, he didn't pay much attention to the environment around him, but when he put down the basket on his back and soothed his muscles, he noticed that there seemed to be a man in the river not far away.
"Who?" subconsciously, Jiang Li shouted.
As soon as the words fell, the figure disappeared on the other side of the river, Jiang Li could clearly see the figure, but it was just a figure, and he could also hear the sound of the waves made by the person in the water, so it was still certain that it was a person.
The young Jiang Li boldly walked to the middle of the river, but found that there was no one around, so he slowly returned to the river, but suddenly another figure flashed and stood beside him.
Jiang Li was naturally taken aback, and was about to dodge when a sudden voice came.
"What's the matter, Jiang Li!" After Jiang Cheng came down, he found that there was only food and water left in the basket, so he looked for it, and saw Jiang Li standing by the river, so he was relieved.
"Grandpa, I saw a person just now!" Jiang Li said truthfully.
"Impossible!" Jiang Chengyuan's heart began to change a series of changes, he knew that his son had jumped from this cliff at that time, but then everyone in the village came to the bottom of the cliff to look for a few days and nights, whether it was a corpse or nothing, and now how could it suddenly appear? This must be a very impossible thing.
"Really!" Jiang Li said with certainty.
"Don't talk nonsense, this place is very evil, maybe it's something abnormal, let's not talk so much, let's go, grandpa will take you over there, we will wait there for dawn, and after dawn we will start collecting medicine!" Jiang Chengyuan interrupted Jiang Li's words in an undoubted tone, and changed his speech to stop Jiang Li's curiosity. He did this because he didn't want Jiang Li to know anything about his father, because before the matter was clarified, Jiang Chengyuan would always carry this black cauldron, so he was not willing to let Jiang Li know any stories about his father for the time being.
This scared Jiang Li a lot, because now after listening to his grandfather's words, Jiang Li was not sure whether he was seeing a person or a ghost, so he still followed his grandfather honestly and came to the side of the back basket.
Jiang Chengyuan took out a very simple small sleeping bag from the back basket, just enough to fit Jiang Li's appearance, and then let Jiang Li sleep in it, because Jiang Li is young after all, and his resistance to the natural environment here is still very small, so Jiang Chengyuan will not be willing to let Jiang Li be overworked.
"Grandpa, what are you going to do?" Jiang Li got into the sleeping bag, and his eyes began to fight, but he still wouldn't forget his grandfather.
"It's okay, hurry up and go to sleep, it's almost dawn, grandpa is old, and he sleeps less!" Although Jiang Chengyuan's excuse could not convince Jiang Li, it was also a kind of rhetoric, and more importantly, Jiang Chengyuan's voice had not yet fallen, Jiang Li had already fallen asleep.
