Chapter 201 [The Man Who Walks on the Wall]
Such a violent thunderstorm is coming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sky was less visible, the sky was filled with dark clouds and endless rain lines, and the forest was plunged into a deeper darkness. Even the gorillas in the trees folded a few branches to cover their heads from the rain. The pitiful little appearance is vivid under the camera, completely showing the audience a magical and mysterious animal world ecology.
The animals in the trees can wait for the rain to stop, but for the animals under the trees, the heavy rain is a catastrophe.
Heavy rain hit the ground, creating a deadly flood that devastated butterflies, spiders, ants, and all other creatures crawling on the ground.
"I think it's normal weather here. Anthony shuddered, "How comfortable it would be to lie in bed." ”
"Don't dream, let's go, don't be left behind. ”
They were wearing raincoats and were also a little overwhelmed. You can look at Chen Ergou who is leading the way in front of him, wearing a primitive green leaf coat and a green vine hat, striding forward, not caring at all about the heavy rain and thunder and lightning.
The temporary woven green hat was also particularly conspicuous at this time, they didn't take it seriously at first, but now it seems that this temporary woven raincoat and straw hat is not only beautiful but also durable, at least I didn't see him in the rain.
The rain fell for more than two hours, and by the time the rain had stopped and the clouds had cleared, the ground had been heavily silted. They didn't take off their raincoats, because the forest was too wet. Continue to walk along the elephant road, but suddenly there is a source cut in front of you.
After stepping out of a jungle, the chosen elephant path cut crookedly into a winding waterfall, and they were halfway up the waterfall. Two meters in front of you is a scattered waterfall, and the mist sprays directly on your face, which is refreshing for no reason.
"Is there no way?" the crowd was forced to stop, looking at the waterfall with confused eyes.
Heavy rains are followed by floods, which divert forests, which would be a big deal elsewhere, and it is a common occurrence in the Congo Basin.
This newly formed waterfall is not large, but it has a high drop and a sharp current, and when you look down from above, you can see dangerous terrain everywhere. A white practice leaked into the deep valley, unfathomable.
But when you look closely, it seems that there is a hollow cave corridor behind the waterfall, which is where the former elephant road is located.
Chen Ergou walked to the front to check, the road was rough, and the silt and loose sand were washed away by the flood, forming a collapse. A little frowned, and said: "There is a road ahead, but it is blocked by this sudden waterfall, and there is a landslide in the middle, and the road is very narrow." ”
"Let's be careful, go straight from under the waterfall!"
"Walk under the waterfall?" Anthony swallowed involuntarily.
"Oh my god, it's too high, I'm afraid of heights. Jenny just looked at it, and her legs trembled.
"I can't swim. Anthony shuddered, too.
Chen Ergou said with a smile: "You don't need to swim, you will be doomed if you fall from here." ”
"Oh~" Anthony held his forehead with one hand, "Don't make such jokes, it's not funny at all." ”
"Not kidding. It's a bit dangerous, but it's the quickest way to do it. Do you see the elephant road opposite, the elephant can walk, and we can naturally walk. From the opposite side, we went downstream, and it was flat, and we could make a raft down the river, which would speed up the pace. But there have been landslides here, and I can't guarantee that it won't happen to collapse again. So something has to be done. ”
"What measures?"
Chen Ergou took out the rope from his backpack, "Take out your ropes too, tie them all with me alone, and tie a safety belt around your waist." I stood in the middle, making it easy to help. But do you need someone to be at the front?"
"I'll do it. "Old Baker is a lot older, and he has to play adventure games with young people, but it's really difficult for him.
But of the three, he was the calmest one, patting the student on the shoulder and comforting him. The two young men were ashamed, as if they wanted to stand up, but the words came to their lips and stopped, after all, it was difficult to cross the threshold in their hearts.
Chen Ergou helped them fasten their "seat belts" and said with a smile: "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, and if we work together, there is no abyss that cannot be crossed." ”
Jenny was frightened and said, "Chen, if I fall, can you hold me?"
Chen Ergou smiled and said calmly: "Trust me, if you fall, I will lift you up." ”
Anthony said: "I believe Chen, he is simply a strong man. once pulled me up from the bottom of the cliff more than 40 meters, and I was about to burst out of my eyes!"
Everyone has heard this story. But after all, I didn't see it in person, and it's hard to imagine whether that situation was Anthony's pompous.
Barely squeezing out a smile, my heart is really unsteady.
Old Baker took a deep breath and took the lead on the trail, stepping on the dirt with his foot, very steady. So I gradually let go of my steps. Four people in a line, slowly walking forward.
"Keep your body as close to the wall as possible, don't look at the waterfall at your feet, and follow the wall. Chen Ergou commanded from time to time.
The road ahead is relatively wide, and when I got to the middle of the waterfall, my ears were full of the roar of the waterfall. It seems that with a little stretch of the hand, you can reach this rapids waterfall. Of course, that's very dangerous, and if you don't get it right, you'll be taken straight into the water.
But I have to say that walking directly under the waterfall is also a rare experience.
After passing through the gentle ground, the area ahead of the collapse is more dangerous. There was a section where there was no road at all, and when I looked down, it was all black reef bulges. It's going to fall, ironclad meat sauce.
Such a thrilling aisle really made the audience in the live broadcast room gasp.
Old Baker was obviously not as tough as he had appeared, and he was gasping for breath halfway through.
"Baker, are you alright? ”
"Iam-ok, ok! just a little dizzy......"
"You can take a little rest. Chen Ergou approached, the waterfall was too loud, and he could only shout in Old Baker's ear: "Take a deep breath and regulate your emotions." Baker, you can do it. Trust me, it's nothing remarkable. Ten meters further on, we are over. ”
"Watch the road carefully, stick to the wall. Remember: with me behind you, don't look into the abyss, ok?"
“OK。 Old Baker took a deep breath and hunched over for a long time without taking a step.
The audience was very worried about it, because the landslide in front of them was too big, and they just looked at the road at one foot. People who are afraid of heights will feel weak even when they look at it.
The crowd did not urge, but waited worriedly.
It took a long time for Baker to straighten his back and continue to move slowly.
One meter two meters...... Nine meters and ten meters until the last foot crosses the ground on the opposite bank.
When the old Beckmeer passed for a moment, he even sat down on the ground with a weak ass.
"Well done, Baker. Chen Ergou said a word of encouragement and jumped over.
"Thank you, at my age, I even think it's quite exciting, haha. ”
"That means you're not old-hearted. ”
Chen Ergou made a joke, turned around and grabbed the rope that the two of them tied around his waist behind him.
The last section of the collapse was more serious, Jenny almost cried and walked over inch by inch, and when she ran over, she threw herself into Chen Ergou's arms, and said directly in tears: "Oh my God, don't walk on such a cliff in the future." ”
"Okay, okay, you're safe. ”
Chen Ergou comforted her a few times, pushed her away and said, "Get out of the way, Anthony hasn't come ashore yet." ”
Anthony shouted, "I'm fine, I can, I'll be right over." ”
"Okay, man, I'm sure you can. It's this kind of rhythm, the last step, just step over. ”
"No problem. Anthony also saw the other side, his heart was a lot stronger, and he unconsciously relaxed a little, and turned around and prepared to make a dashing jump......
"Don't turn around!" Chen Ergou's eyes bulged, and he suddenly shouted, but unfortunately he shouted too late. It didn't matter if Anthony turned around, but he ignored the big bag he was carrying behind his back. The package hit the wall, and in an instant he couldn't stand on his feet, and his body involuntarily fell out. He waved his hands to grab something, but he didn't catch anything, and he fell straight down.
"Oh my God......," exclaimed the two men who had just come ashore.
The 3D stereoscopic photography is so real that even the audience watching in the live broadcast room was frightened at this moment, and the frightened body fell back suddenly, slamming into the chair behind him, "I'll go-"
"Accident! Playing with ......"
"Ah, I'm going to kill the dog. ”
"Drag the oil bottle, damn it, don't kill the dog!"
Chen Ergou's waist was violently dragged by a force, and he was almost dragged to the ground directly. Both feet suddenly made a jack fall, and the footsteps stepped heavily on the ground, "bang", and stepped on a few heavy footprints, so as to suppress the momentum of running forward.
When he was about to be taken directly into the abyss on the edge of the cliff, he roared, the muscles of his arms exploded, and he grabbed the rope violently and fell backwards.
There was a muffled "bump", and Anthony's body slammed into the side of the cliff, and the rope trembled a few times, but miraculously stabilized.
"Well done!"
The live broadcast room was boiling, and gifts flew all over the screen. "Come on, dog!"
"Don't fall!"
Chen Ergou's arms trembled, but his face remained calm. The body shook a few times, and finally stabilized, and began to carefully pull up.
This sudden change frightened Jenny to scream. After coming back to their senses, the two also rushed over to help in a panic.
"Step out of the way. ”
Chen Ergou drank back from the two, and his hands began to pull up again. Xu is calm expression played a role, the two didn't dare to interfere, just watched Chen Ergou's sturdy arms quickly and alternately pull the rope up, and pulled Anthony up directly in a few seconds.
After a false alarm, the two hugged each other and asked warmly, "Are you hurt?"
Anthony was a little blinded, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he said excitedly: "I'm fine, it's just that my arm hurts a little bit." Thank you, Chen, you saved my life, I'm so stupid. He looked annoyed.
Jenny wiped her tears and shouted excitedly, "Chen, I believe you are a Hercules now." If I fall, you'll be able to hold me. ”
"Of course. ”
Chen Ergou also shook his arm and said, "You guys are already great, after all, you just came out of school and came to such a dangerous jungle." I think no one will blame you for such a performance. ”
"I also apologize to you for ignoring a problem that not everyone is as willing to take risks as I am. After all, your physical fitness is ordinary people. Therefore, when I want to walk in the future, I will try to choose some places that are not dangerous to walk. ”
"Then again, being in such a desolate primeval forest, the danger is only relative. …… But please believe that with me, I will take you back to civilized society smoothly!"
Everyone looked at him gratefully, and Baker said, "Chen, you are right. This elephant path is just an accident, and although we are much worse than you, we will not be so squeamish. You can arrange it. ”
"Yes, Chen, I can't imagine what kind of dangerous things would have happened to us if we hadn't met you. ”
Chen Ergou smiled and said, "Can you still walk?" Let's change places and rest, this is not a good place to chat." ”
"Anthony, I'm here to help you. Jenny offered to help Anthony.
The team continued to move forward, and Chen Ergou did not forget to explain to the camera, saying, "Thank you for your gifts." It was a bit dangerous just now, but it was enough to save the day, and my precautions worked. ”
But these dangers will not stop us from finding a return to civilization. There is an old Chinese saying, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, how can you know how hard to come by without experiencing setbacks, and Tang monks and apprentices have to go through 72 difficulties on the way to learn scriptures in the west? Since you have chosen to enter the wilderness, you must have the consciousness of facing dangers. ”
"Although the journey home was extremely difficult, everyone felt that they were one step closer to their destination every time they overcame difficulties. ”
"I'm going to be as careful as ever, and I think it's going to be a lot smoother. ”
They sat down to rest for a while in the lower reaches of the river. As the time progressed to noon, everyone cut some mutton and ate it with fruit to replenish their body energy.
After that, follow the riverbank and look for trees nearby where you can build a raft.
"Mainly look for a tree with heart-shaped oval leaves, with brown stellate pubescence on the back. If you can't find it, bamboo can too. ”
Anthony asked, "Chen, what kind of wood is that, why are you looking for this kind of wood?"
"That's balsa wood, it's the best material for rafts. Let's go out and look for it, and Van Weine can easily find it along the river in the Congo rainforest. ”
Old Baker said, "No problem, I know balsa ......"
Just had a full meal, and everyone had the strength.
Although the efficiency of scattering and searching is not necessarily higher than that of his solo search, it is still four pairs of eyes. It didn't take long for the harvest to be found. A balsa tree that had collapsed across the river bank caught his eye.
"Across the river, what to do?" asked Old Baker, who had found balsa wood.
The rushing river does not look like a place that people can spend at will.
"I'll go here, and you'll meet me here. ”
Chen Ergou untied his backpack, found a wooden stick and prepared to cross the river.
"Chen, might as well tie up the safety rope?" suggested Old Baker.
Chen Ergou thought for a moment, "It's okay!" After all, they now have complete tools, and he didn't even have a rope when he walked alone before, so he would naturally consider extreme routes. Now there are three bundles of 100-meter-long nylon ropes, which is a lot of wealth in the wilderness, and it is natural to change your thinking.
On the riverbank, it was okay to say, but after swimming to the rapids of the river, the water was already submerged to his waist, so he crossed the river and explained: "Friends, if you cross the river in the wilderness, you must find a long stick and put it downstream as a third point of support. Keep your feet between the sticks in a triangular direction and move your feet laterally. When your feet are under the river, try to find a stable foothold and don't step on the reef at will. ”
Even if he waded so deeply, he didn't forget to introduce the wilderness to the audience.
Seeing that the audience was panicking, "Don't say it, go ashore quickly." ”
"It's too desperate, it's too dangerous to take such an adventure. ”
"The water is too deep, it looks like it's just a small ditch, and it's going to flood your chest. ”
Indeed, when he reached the center of the river, he had already begun to submerge his chest, and Chen Ergou simply gave up stepping on the bottom of the river, and said: "Obviously, the depth of Congo waters is not only reflected in the Congo River, but also in such a small bay. Now I need to be flexible, and I'll just swim over. ”
As he spoke, he put down the stick, threw himself forward, paddling the water quickly, and his body rushed straight to the other side of the river downstream in a parabolic shape.
His swimming skills have always been good, and there are no whirlpools in the selected place, so he can easily reach the aquatic plants on the opposite bank and pull them ashore.
"Wow~" There was a burst of cheers from the other side of the river, and they were holding the rope just now, and they were also up and down.
Chen Ergou waved his hand, pulled out his waist knife and began to cut down the tree. This time there were many people, so he cut a few more. Cut a deep groove to the side and push towards the riverbank. Trees dozens of meters tall fell straight across the river.
When he was almost done, he put away his waist knife, but on the way back, he didn't have to swim, and jumped directly to the trunk. The body shook a few times and stood firm. The trunk of balsa wood is not thick, and it is not like the giant trees that can run on the trunk of a tree in the depths of the forest. But Chen Ergou only needs a foothold. With his hands outstretched, like a swallow, he ran at high speed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the other side of the river.
The audience was stunned, "Is the light work reappearing?
"Awesome, my brother. ”
"What kind of knife is the knife, the hunter's broad-edged knife. What kind of people are people, people who fly on the wall!"
