"Brother Gun, how are you going to get out now?"
Fang Hong stood up, stretched his waist, clasped one hand into a crack in the cave wall, and after pulling hard, he made sure that it could bear its weight, so he stepped on a bulge in the rock wall with his hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Climb out directly? What, don't you want the backpack?"
"How can you not have a backpack, the guy who eats. β
Fang Hong climbed all the way out from the rock wall, like a gecko.
When he reached the place close to the entrance of the cave, Fang Hong stopped, grabbed a crack with his left hand at the height of his waist, leaned out, and stretched out his hand.
"Brother Gun wants to pick up wood?"
"What's the use of wood, it's soaked all night, and it doesn't burn. β
Fang Hong picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the hole, and so on, throwing all three pieces of wood in this position into the depths of the hole.
"Last night's flowing water washed a lot of wood, or most of the wood here was washed by the flowing water, and a small part was left after the trees that were struggling to grow here died. β
Going forward again, picking up two more long logs and two shorter logs, Fang Hong returned along the same path.
"Brother Gun, what are you doing picking up so much wood?"
Fang Hong: "Escape magic weapon." β
Fang Hong took out a bundle of ropes in his bag: "This is the rope I used to tie things before, the same material as the hand saw, when I set off, I felt that it didn't take up much space, so I brought a little more, and now it plays a role." β
Since the rappelling rope actually has a certain elasticity, it is not suitable for bundling.
Fang Hong used two of the straightest pieces of wood to tie out a right-angled shape.
The sailors became more and more unable to understand Fang Hong's behavior.
Then, Fang Hong tied two shorter pieces of wood to the corners of the two long logs.
"Brother Gun, what does it mean to tie an A-line?"
After completing this part, Fang Hong clamped a long piece of wood with two other pieces of wood, and then broke the two short pieces of wood, so that the wood set up by the short wood and the three pieces of wood side by side formed a triangle with each other.
"Isn't that what a skateboard looks like?"
Indeed, the push-push skateboard that children play with is shaped like this.
Two more pieces of wood, five pieces of wood side by side, although they could not be brought together due to the bending of the wood, Fang Hong still tried to keep the gap between them a little smaller, and tied them very tightly.
After completing this, Fang Hong opened his backpack and took out the pot from it.
"I'm Cao!"
"I'm Cao!"
There are dents everywhere on the iron pot, all of which were made by the rolled up stones when the dark storm came yesterday.
Put the pot back and take out the lid, Fang Hong used a kitchen knife to unscrew the twisting screws on the lid of the pot, put it away in the bag, and then used a rope to pass through the lid of the pot, leaving a ring on it, and strangled it with a small stone buckled down from the cliff wall below, so that the rope could not fall off.
After doing all this, Fang Hong ran the rope loop through the upper of the shoe, shackled it on his right foot, put the skateboard on the mud formed by sand and water, picked up the bag, stood up, and opened his hands: "Witness the moment of miracle." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Hong squatted down and sat down, embarrassed: "I'm not very proficient yet, just get used to it." β
"Hey, it didn't sink. β
Fang Hong nodded with satisfaction: "Hu Jian's coastal friends should know this, this is called a seahorse, which is used to slide mud, can slide on the tidal flats to avoid falling into silt, as the saying goes, sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters, with this, you can walk on the sand layer without worrying about being trapped." β
"666, this thing is fun, Ming'er will make one and take it out for fun. β
"In general, in areas where tidal flats are particularly widely distributed, they are often used by people who pick up the sea, but they are rarely seen inland or in other coastal areas with fine sandy texture. β
"The usage is basically not much different from skiing and sandboarding. β
Fang Hong held the pole in his hand, stepped on the sand with his right foot to push, and the seahorse under his left foot slid forward, which was quite smooth.
"It's really lazy people have a way to be lazy. β
Facing the complaints of water friends, Fang Hong rolled his eyes: "Is this the wisdom of the working people, okay, you can't do things brutally, you can always think of suitable tools to help." β
Out of the hole, Fang Hong looked left and right: "Above the ground, there should be no sand accumulation, there is so much sand here, it is because after the air pours down, the sand can no longer be rolled back to the ground, so such a thick layer of sand is formed." β
"Friends in the north should be more familiar with such things as sandstorms, which are likely to be attacked continuously, so let's go down. β
"Brother Gun, I think it's safer to find food first. β
"You won't die if you starve for two days, but if you don't have time to escape from a sandstorm, you'll die. Fang Hong became more and more proficient: "Hide in a low place first, if there is no sand and dust today, it means that it is really safe, and I will go out of the surface." β
The road ahead is twisted and twisted, there are many corner areas, yesterday's situation shows that there must be a boulder stuck in the road somewhere ahead, which leads to water accumulation, as long as you pass the boulder, and then go down, there is no danger of being flooded, so the front should be safer, at least through the area where the boulder stuck the road.
Moving forward, the slope was decreasing, and Fang Hong had to hold on to the wall and move forward slowly.
"It's so weird, I didn't even think I'd be sliding mud with a seahorse in the Grand Canyon. β
Ahead, the river is choppy.
The sound of the great river came from the rift valley.
Fang Hong had a very bad premonition.
Farther on, at a corner, the view suddenly became clear, and directly in front of the rift, there was a tall rock wall, some distance from the rift.
Fang Hong was stunned for a moment: "Then, it should be the cliff on the other side of the Red River." β
Ahead of the rift, a tall boulder blocked the way.
The boulder is stuck between the cliffs on both sides.
Fang Hong said in a deep voice: "I was too naΓ―ve before, but now, the situation I don't want to see has appeared." β
The live broadcast lens is higher, and the water friends understand why better than Fang Hong.
This rift valley continues all the way to the cliff face of the Red River Valley, and there should be a cliff below.
The boulder is not stuck in a certain section of the Rift, but at the end of the Rift.
That is, there is no road ahead.
"Go back the way you came?"
Fang Hong thought for a moment: "It's all here, it's better to go over and take a look, it's not necessarily a good thing to return." β
The fact that this boulder was shut down in so much water in the rift last night shows that it is very tightly stuck, and it is basically impossible for it to collapse suddenly.
Fang Hong was originally going to find a place to rest in front of the boulder, but he didn't expect that the boulder was stuck on the edge of the cliff, and there was no rift in front of him at all.
Fang Hong slid to the side of the boulder, put down his hiking bag, and jumped up the boulder that was more than a meter above the exposed sand.
"Boom!"
The sound of the river was instantly amplified.
In front of you, a hundred zhang below, is the Red River.
At the end of the cliff, there is no way out.
Fang Hong sat on the boulder, looked at the waves of the river, and sighed helplessly: "It seems that there is really no chance." β
The water friend watched the live broadcast footage, so he could see a broader picture: "Brother Gun, can you pass on the right?"
On the right, Fang Hong also checked the live broadcast screen.
On the right cliff, just over a meter away, there is a natural stone step, more than half a meter wide, and this stone step goes all the way forward, leading to a far place.
Fang Hong immediately got up, his hand tightly grasped a raised stone on the cliff wall on the right, and leaned out to look ahead.
The stone staircase went out until it was far away, and it was a gap that could be seen overnight!
In other words, nine times out of ten there is another rift.
And there are no boulders blocking the rift, so it is very likely that there is no accumulated sand layer, and there will be no accumulated current.
There, undoubtedly, is safer.
Fang Hong thought for a moment: "If you go to a high place now, in case you encounter a sandstorm, there will be death and no life, but you choose to move forward from this road, if the road in front is suddenly cut off, you can only forcibly climb over." β
In freehand climbing, there is only forward, not backward, because going backward is more difficult than moving forward.
The staircase looks quite wide, but no one can guarantee that it will not break in the middle of the road.
Fang Hong picked up his bag: "Let's go." β
