Chapter 695: No Regrets
It is undeniable that no matter how high the light skill is, standing beside the bottomless cliff, the lingering can't help but have a little throbbing. Although the hemp rope is a guarantee, but in a certain way dΓΉ also restricts his skills, the wind is very strong, it means that the resistance is also very large, although he can chase birds alone, but he has never had such a need to stare at a few feet away from the cone place, can not be the slightest bit of landing, so this matter is really a big challenge for him.
Xi Hao stood beside Bai Yan with a pale face, his hand tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes, twisting it over and over again. Just now, he was going to say a few more words to Lang Mian, but when he walked to the edge of the cliff where the wind was howling, he was dizzy for a while, and his heart was beating so hard that he couldn't calm down, afraid that his condition would affect Tang Mian, so he just smiled at Lang Mian, and then quickly turned around, walked to Bai Yan's side and lowered his head.
"Don't worry, I'm going to pull the rope at this end, and if I can't get to the other end, I'll pull him back even if I break my arms. Bai Yan stretched out his hand and shook Xi Hao's hand and let go, walked between Nangong Rehe and Bai Shaoqing, wrapped the rope around his arm and hit it fiercely, and then followed the dense soldiers behind him to see the last Mingwei: "Are you ready?" β
Mingwei didn't speak, only nodded slightly, because he was pressed at the end, so the other end of the rope was tied to him, because the distance to be jumped was too large, if there was a mistake and falling, the pulling force must be extraordinary, so everyone was fully prepared at the moment, and no mistakes were allowed.
"Lingering, if you can't do it, don't force it, if you have another accident, I, who is a father, will really be shameless to face Hao'er again. It was impossible not to worry, Meng Changlong stood beside him and patted him on the shoulder, and solemnly admonished. He has seen the lingering light skills, and he also knows his strength, but there is no absolute, if anything happens to lingering, Xi Hao will really not be able to hold on.
Hearing this, Lingering smiled back, and replied with relief: "Daddy, don't worry, I will do what I can, and I will never be strong." β
"Okay, let's go. Meng Changlong's voice trembled a little, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head away and stopped looking at the lingering, but lingering looked at Xi Hao with a smile, even though it was far away, the tenderness between the eyebrows was still clearly transmitted to the person he loved, Xi Hao looked up at him, and slowly showed a smile.
Be careful......
Some words don't need to be spoken, some concerns don't need to be expressed, as long as a look or a casual action, you can pass on a qiΔ.
Standing still and closing his eyes, he carefully recalled what he had just observed, including every bulge on the cliff, every place where he could land with his strength, and then exhaled softly and opened his eyes.
"I'm leaving. With just three words, the shadow flashed like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, it swept past the team that had gathered all its strength to cling to the rope, and rushed out of the steep cliff with the howling of the wind, and rushed to the far side.
As soon as his legs were weak, Xi Hao involuntarily followed the lingering and ran forward a few steps, but fell to his knees in the middle of a stumble.
Stretching out his hand to cover his mouth desperately, Xi Hao suppressed the cry that almost blurted out, staring ahead with wide eyes, looking at the figure that was getting farther and farther away, more and more blurred, trembling all over his body and difficult to calm down. Cold sweat spread all over the moment, and the sudden feeling of fear burst out in every pore, making his body feel like falling into an ice cellar, cold to the bone, he inhaled heavily, pressed his hands to the ground and raised his head.
Lingering did not fall, he was still advancing, even if it was far away, everyone could still see him. Everyone's hearts couldn't be lifted, and no sound could be heard on the entire platform except for the wind, and everyone's breathing was tightly pinched together, becoming softer and softer with every movement of the lingering, as if he was afraid that one of his breaths would affect him.
As the wind grows stronger, the balance becomes more and more difficult to grasp, and the bulge of the landing is almost invisible in the rapid movement, lingering but like walking on the ground, and the body is like the wind.
The rope on the ground was rapidly getting shorter, the number of circles was getting fewer and fewer, and everyone's hearts were gradually falling, thinking that the lingering was about to reach the end, but when a conspicuous mark jumped into view and then quickly disappeared, Bai Yan's face suddenly changed, let go of the rope and rushed out of the team, desperately running to the front of the team.
"The rope is not enough, let go-" The sudden change made everyone's faces change, and the shouts that erupted from Bai Yan made Qin Chi, who was at the top of the line, react first, he let go of his hands, and then turned around and grabbed the two soldiers who followed him and pulled them to the side.
"Put it again!" Bai Yan's shout rose again, and the fourth and fifth soldiers also let go of their hands at the same time, and the team also took a few big steps forward between the lightning and flint.
"Lingering-" Xi Hao finally couldn't help but speak, this sudden change shocked him, he looked into the distance in a daze, and then ran forward with a footstep, but fell again.
"Lingering...... Lingering ......" struggled to get up, but collapsed and couldn't get up, Xi Hao only repeated the lingering name over and over again, and then his body loosened and he couldn't get up again.
There is no need for Bai Yan to warn again, the soldiers on the other end of the rope let go of their hands one after another, and the speed of the lingering has not decreased, if the rope is too short and suddenly tightened, he will definitely fall backwards in a sudden situation, even if he is finally dragged by everyone to prevent him from falling into the abyss, it will be too sudden for him to protect his whole body, and it is very likely to hit the cliff and fall seriously injured.
"How can this be!" Cang Lang was already stunned, not long ago, he had determined the distance at the end of the plank road with the efforts of the soldiers, and the rope had a lot of room for adjustment, but he didn't expect that such a situation would occur now.
No, even if he gets to the other end of the plank road, the rope on this side will be exhausted, and he will be isolated in the middle of nowhere.
There was a soft click on the knuckles, but Mingwei didn't panic under the sudden change, he steadied his mind and steadied his horse, and then waited with bated breath for the last moment. For him, this situation is no worse than the situation he faced when he fell off the cliff with Linger, because at least now that there are so many people around, he believes that no matter what, everyone will not let Linger have an accident, so he can't be the first to mess up now.
When there were only three people left in front of him, Mingwei's heart jumped violently, and he knew that he couldn't stay where he was any longer, so he took a few big steps forward at the same time with the three of them, and then stopped the horse again.
The rope slid through the palm of his hand with a subtle whoosh, slowly straightening, and when he noticed that its movement had slowed down, everyone on the side was stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward with great joy, staring motionless into the distance from a distance where it was impossible to see its true condition.
The whistle flickered in the wind, a lingering signal. When they found that the rope was no longer sliding, the last four people who remained on the end of the rope still did not dare to unload their strength, and stood up with their sweat-soaked backs, and they did not dare to relax by pulling the rope.
"He's here!He's done!" After a lingering confirmation, Bai Yan closed his eyes and lowered his head weakly. The soldiers around him boiled excitedly, but he exhaled like a prostration, and then walked towards Xi Hao, who was still lying on the ground and was in shock.
"He's fine. Stretching out his hand to help Xi Hao, who was covered in mud, looking at his somewhat wolfish appearance, Bai Yan couldn't help but reddened his eyes with sadness. Xi Hao couldn't speak, just nodded desperately, and then stretched out his hands and threw himself into Bai Yan's arms.
"Tie the braided rope net to the end of the rope and let the lingering pull it through. Meng Changlong wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said to Canglang. Cang Lang had come back to his senses, and without pause, he ordered his subordinates to tie the mille-feuille rope net that they had made day and night with the weaving method of fishing nets and short bamboo pieces in the middle to this end, and then pulled the rope to signal the lingering, let him slowly pull it over, and fix it in the plank road from that end.
When the rope net began to move towards the other end of the plank road, Cang Lang shook his head in amazement, and said to Meng Changlong: "When I first made this rope net, I didn't expect it to be useful, and I still wanted to slowly repair the plank road, but now it seems that I don't have to wait so long." After he finished speaking, he recalled Fang Cai's terrifying scene, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Today's exciting thing, I really can't stand it for the second time, Hou Ye's three sons all have a skill, and they envy others." β
Meng Changlong also smiled bitterly after hearing this, and said, "I'd rather they be mediocre and inactive, as long as they can spend their lives in peace." He said that it is indeed what he thinks in his heart, and people are like this, and the more he witnesses the cruelty of war, the more he yearns for a plain but happy life. From the time he arrived at Baishan with lingering scars, Meng Changlong saw too much helpless struggle and unyielding struggle against the world from his children, and he was really moved by these children.
Whether it is Xi Hao and lingering, or white flame and flawless, these children who are struggling in the ups and downs of the red dust are interpreting in their unique way what it is to never give up and what is a soft spot!
"Childe asked Cheng Hao to go back and explain to Uncle Yu that I have no opinion, but why should I go together?" After Xian Yi and Yu Cheng Hao came back, they were sent to the flawless room by Yang Yuncong, and when they heard that Wu Feng said that he wanted Yu Cheng Hao to bring the letter back to Liquan Villa but wanted to go with him, Xian Yi resolutely objected and refused to agree.
"I still have things for you to do, you have been with me all the year round, and you know the distribution of many hidden forces better than them, I am not asking for your opinion now, but asking you to go with Cheng Hao, do you hear clearly." Flawless lowered his head and sipped his tea, his tone was indifferent, but it was majestic and could not be refuted.
It's been a long time since I've seen Gongzi show such a solemn expression, Xian Yi was a little stunned in his heart, and after pursing his lips a few times, he finally lowered his head and said with reluctance: "Yes." β
"I'll fix the book later, you go back and prepare first, and then leave tonight. β
"Childe-"
"Go, lingering Xi Hao is by my side, are you still afraid that no one will take care of my body. Knowing that Xian Yi was most at ease with her body, she opened her mouth to intercept her words, and then said no more, and quietly lowered her eyes.
"Take care, Childe. Yu Chenghao retreated first, and Xian Yi followed out, but after walking a few steps, he paused and turned around.
Childe has been so quiet recently that people are frightening, not as indifferent as before, but it seems that something is hiding from everyone, not letting people know, but what makes him even hide from the little marquis?
