Xia Shuanghan, who spreads the weight of her whole body as much as possible to every inch of skin that fits the ground, is actually not the best person to do what she is currently doing in terms of weight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After all, behind her, there were several girls who were smaller and lighter than her. However, when it comes to the method of crawling forward, Xia Shuanghan believes that no one will master it better than her.

So, under the bated breath gaze of the watchers around her, Xia Shuanghan, who had moved carefully, finally slowly climbed to the closest point to Chagap on the mountain trail, with only a small amount of dirt and small gravel falling.

"Chagap, I'm Aunt Frost, can you hear me?" Xia Shuanghan, who was prostrate on the ground, poked out half of his head and a pair of eyes at the edge of the mountain road, and said in a high voice to Chagap, who was located under her right side: "Chagap, don't be afraid, did you hear that Auntie is here to save you?" ”

As if lying on horseback, his limbs hung down from the edge of the rock and he hugged Chagap on the back of the rock, and he had stopped crying. With his head facing outwards and his butt facing the rock wall, he didn't dare to move at will when he was lying on the rock, and after hearing the cry of Xia Shuanghan above his head, he choked up and responded: "Aunt Shuanghan, please save me, it's so high and steep here, and the rocks below are so sharp and long, I'm so afraid!" ”

"Chagap, don't panic, listen carefully to what Auntie has to say, okay?" Glancing at the chilling tip of the rock below, Xia Shuanghan gently removed the rope loop from his shoulder, and continued to say in a loud voice: "Although Auntie and everyone here want to save you, you must cooperate well with Auntie, do you know?" If you can't do what Auntie says, Auntie won't be able to save you, do you understand? ”

"I know, I'll do it, I'll be obedient, Aunt Frost, you can say it."

"Very good Chagap, you are brave." On the mountain road where a second collapse may occur at any time, Xia Shuanghan, who was still lying on the ground, held a rope loop in his hand, and was so frightened that his face was bloodless below, but he did not panic, and asked: "Now Chagap, Auntie needs you to sit up, lean your back against the stone wall, and stay still and not move, can you do it?" ”

"I ...... I can. Chagap, who was lying on the rock, trembling incessantly, forced himself not to look at the creepy rocks below, only shivered and withdrew his hands holding the rocks below him, and then sat up from the rocks very slowly, supporting his upper body.

"Good, very good, you're doing fantastic." Xia Shuanghan encouraged the little boy who was still shaking below, and made the next request: "Now, Chagap, Auntie is going to throw a rope ring at you." If the rope trap is around your shoulder, then you raise your hand and put the rope loop under your armpit; But if the rope doesn't catch you, you ignore it, Auntie will throw it again, understand? ”

"Got it!"

"Okay, then Auntie threw it away!" With Xia Shuanghan's words, she was thrown out by the rope ring she held in her hand, and then it hit once and put it on Chagap's shoulder.

After being put under Chagap's armpit and looping around his chest and back, the movable ferrule was quickly tightened by Xia Shuanghan on the mountain trail as he pulled the rope.

After turning her head and nodding to the villagers holding the other end of the rope, Xia Shuanghan finally ordered Chagap, who was sitting on the rock, "Don't move, wait for Auntie there", and she began to crawl back slowly, just as she came.

"Frost, is it okay? Can we bring Chagapura up now? After Xia Shuanghan returned to the safety of the mountain road, Camorra, who had been being pulled by Lolena, quickly stepped forward and said with a hopeful and urgent face: "Shuanghan, is it now that as long as Chagapura is pulled up, he will be fine?" ”

"No, we can't just pull him up." In order to explain the situation clearly, Xia Shuanghan pulled Camorra to the side of the mountain road, pointed to the rocks below and said, "Do you see those rocks, Sister Camorra?" They are the reason why we can't bring Chagapura up. ”

Judging from the position of the villagers who are currently pulling the rope and the position of the rock where Chagap is located, if he chooses to pull Chagap up, then when the rope is tightened, Chagap, who is trapped by a rope at an angle to the vertical direction, will inevitably swing from the rock where he is currently located to the bottom of the villagers' position like a swing.

And in the process of "swinging", the place where Chagapu is bound to pass is a tall rock that happens to be towering, but it completely blocks his way.

"Sister Camorra, look," Xia Shuanghan said, pointing to the rock directly below his feet, "Although the villagers below have wrapped the rock in bedding and blankets according to the consultation I just made with them, to be honest, if you choose to let Chagapu swing down and crash into that rock, then I estimate that he will definitely break his bones." ”

Summer Frost pulled Camorra away from the edge of the trail and continued, "Moreover, once Chagapu leaves the rock, because he swings so fast and generates too much force, it is impossible for the villagers to let him pass safely above the rock by shortening the rope before he hits the rock. Therefore, we can't rescue him by pulling the rope until we have to. ”

"What then?" A frustrated Camorra couldn't help but ask, "What then?" after realizing that the rope on Chagap's body and the quilt wrapped around the rocks below the trail had only been set up as an extra insurance measure? ”

"Next, the villagers who were pulling the rope were all on the upper left side of Chagap, so it was proposed that Chagap jump down from the right side of the rock to stop the rope from swaying. But I think it was possible that the rope would break on the sharp corners of the rock as the villagers then put the rope to allow Chagap to land slowly and vertically. ”

"So, after rejecting this too risky solution, the next thing is to wait for the uncles and uncles in the village to push the bed crossbow on the east side of the village."

The bed crossbow is the most powerful weapon among all the long-range projection weapons in the current Great Xia territory. It can be seen from the word "crossbow" that the construction principle of the bed crossbow is no different from that of ordinary single-shot crossbows and repeating crossbows, and the reason why it has a powerful power that is difficult to achieve with other projectile weapons is its huge size and extraordinary ejection ability.

There is no difference in size between the arrows of the bed crossbow and the red tassel spear played by an adult man, so if you want to launch such a huge arrow, the bowstring part of the bed crossbow with strong elasticity can only be twisted with a winch.

On the battlefield, when used as an offensive weapon, the bed crossbow was mainly used to shoot at wall battlements. When used as a defensive weapon, if it hits an enemy, it can "shatter" enemy cavalry and nail their corpses to the ground.

As a village close to the Mobei territory before the fall of the country, Naming Village was always looted by the Mobei cavalry in the early years every autumn and winter. Therefore, in order to protect their clansmen and property from looting, the villagers of Naming Village, who had obtained the consent of the Daxia government, spent a lot of money to purchase several bed crossbows from the customs through the collective contribution of the whole village (the Daxia government stipulated that the bed crossbows purchased by the villagers of Naming Village could only be used as self-defense weapons on weekdays).

As a village surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on three sides, in the autumn of previous years, the villagers would block the mountain paths that enter and exit the village on three sides, and then push out the bed crossbows parked in the warehouses of the village's own outposts and erect them on the high platforms of the outposts on the hillsides on both sides of the road to enter the village. Subsequently, once it was discovered that the Mobei cavalry was attacking in the future, the villagers immediately released their arrows.

So in this way, after several rounds of small battles over the years, the Mobei people, who were heavily injured by the power of the bed crossbow, finally had to give up Naming Village, which had been attacked for a long time, and retreated in disgrace.

Of course, now that Mobei has died down, the bed crossbow that Naming Village has been carefully maintained and used to show its might on the battlefield over the years is estimated to be useless in the future. It's just that before the fall of Mobei, all the villagers over the age of fourteen in the village learned the operation method of the bed crossbow, but it is still firmly remembered by every villager.

"I don't understand, what are you doing pushing the bed crossbow over at this time?" Although he is also a good hand at operating and using the bed crossbow, Camorra, who is worried about his son, does not understand the meaning of Xia Shuanghan now.

"That's right, Sister Camorra, look at this cliff," Xia Shuanghan, who had already taken Camorra down the mountain road as he spoke, pointed to the stone wall where Chagape was located in front of him and explained: "Have you heard of the suspended plank road in the Bashu area?" I mean, I'm going to follow the principle of the suspended boardwalk, and use the bed crossbow to make a way to climb up this stone wall and rescue Chagap. ”

"This ...... Will this work? Camorra, who has a deep understanding of the power of the bed crossbow, said worriedly: "The power of the bed crossbow is so great, what should I do if this arrow is released, and the arrow does not sink into the stone wall but shoots the stone wall apart?" ”

"I've discussed this with my uncles and uncles in the village. Now that Chagap has been tied to a safety rope, we have plenty of time to try it out. Therefore, we will try it out on this stone wall at a distance from Chagap. If it's sure that we can make a 'hanging boardwalk' on the stone wall and can't hurt Chagap, then we'll do it, but if it doesn't work, then we'll have to think of something else." ”

Choose a stone wall that is far away from Chagap's location but has a similar texture and shape, then set up a bed crossbow on the hillside opposite the stone wall, select a specific target to fire, shoot a giant arrow, and finally climb up with the help of a giant arrow......

After this series of simulations and attempts, and after fully confirming that the idea of climbing the stone wall to rescue Chagap with the help of the principle of "suspended plank road" is effective, Xia Shuanghan once again tied himself with a safety rope and slowly walked towards the real "plank road" leading to the rock where Chagap was.

After passing through the countless sharp rocks laid out on the ground beneath the stone wall with great difficulty, he stepped on the summer frost on a slope of a triangular pyramidal rock, took off his shoes and socks, tied his trouser legs and sleeves, and stepped on the first arrow shaft at the bottom of the stone wall.

The great arrows fired from the bed crossbow were so powerful that they sank into the thick rock wall without cracking or damaging the stone wall, and only a tail less than the length of the baby's forearm remained.

With his bare feet, he stepped on the tail end of the giant arrow that was about as thick as his wrist, raised his hand to hold the end of the giant arrow above Xia Shuanghan, and began to climb up and down the stone wall.

Lifting his right foot, stretching out his left hand, lifting his left foot, stretching out his right hand, in the process of alternating grasping and stepping on the tail end of the two vertical rows of giant arrows on the stone wall, the hands and feet began to stop the slowly sour summer frost, lying on the rock wall and began to sweat non-stop.

Perhaps, I should have found a young man to climb the rock wall in my place, but I don't know if the weight of a giant arrow can withstand the weight of an adult man and a chagap.

Perhaps, I should have climbed up in socks, after all, cloth socks can absorb the cold sweat on the soles of my feet to a certain extent, and then prevent my feet from slipping. It's just that when I step on a wooden pole under my feet through a layer of fabric, my insensitive sense of touch may cause me to be surprised......

Summer Frost, whose thoughts were constantly circling to divert her attention from the negative thoughts of "so high, so steep, so hard", climbed as fast as possible to the height of Chagap's position on the rock wall, along with the comforts and encouragement of the villagers at the bottom of the mountain.

Looking at Chagap, who was less than an arm's length away from him, with his back against the stone wall, and his armpits sitting on the rock with a rope loop, Xia Shuanghan, who had beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, smiled and comforted him: "Chagap, you are really a brave and good boy." You have been sitting here alone for so long, but you can still wipe away your tears and obediently wait for your aunt to come up and pick you up, you are really good! ”

"Aunt Frost ......" Chagap, whose eyes were red and swollen, watched Xia Shuanghan step on the tail of the arrow and climb up to him, his fear of the sharp rocks under the cliff had gradually dissipated, and in the face of Aunt Frost who had now come to his side and could take him back to the ground immediately, Chagap, who had stopped trembling, only felt that his heart was full of strength.

"Chagap, now there is only one last step left, you have to do what Auntie asks you to do, you know?"

After receiving Chagap's nod of reassurance, Xia Shuanghan, who was holding the tail of the arrow with one hand and clinging to the stone wall with the other hand, adjusted his position, and slowly turned sideways with one foot on the hollow of the stone wall and the other foot still stepping on the tail of the arrow, and turned his back towards Chagap, who was still sitting on the rock.

"Chagap, can you see the two rope loops on Auntie's waist and the bib behind her waist?" Xia Shuanghan, whose legs were sore and trembling slightly, tried to ignore the fatigue of her body and the fear of heights, and continued: "Now, Auntie needs you to put your two legs into the rope loop separately, and then sit in the bib, can you do it?" ”

For Chagap, who was sitting on the rock, it was not difficult to retract one leg and turn it sideways on the rock, and then put the two legs into the two rope loops on the waist side of Summer Frost. Even grabbing the two rope loops behind Xia Shuanghan's shoulders that were specially used as grippers for him, and then sitting in the cloth bib behind Xia Shuanghan's waist was not difficult.

After all, that shallow cloth bib was just to support his little butt and give him a place to sit, and it didn't make it difficult for him.

So after a while, after Xia Shuanghan was sure that Chagapu had sat firmly in the bib and rope loop behind him, he was finally able to step on Xia Shuanghan with both feet on the tail of the arrow again, and let out a long breath at the stone wall with his waist and legs.

"Chagap, now Auntie is going to take you down slowly. It's just that there are a few things you have to keep in mind before you get down. ”

"Aunt Shuanghan, you say," Chagap, who was lying on Xia Shuanghan's back and also exhaled deeply, said sensibly, "I will do it all obediently." ”

"Okay, then first, before you reach the ground, you must not move, you must firmly grasp the rope loop on Auntie's shoulder, and obediently lie on Auntie's back. Second, if there is any accident in the process of climbing down, you should not panic, because the aunt and you are tied to a safety rope, so there is no need to be afraid at all, right? ”

Anyway, even if the worst happens, we step on the air and swing down, and with my meat pad, you can't hit the quilted rock below.

Hiding the last of these words, which would obviously make Chagape feel uneasy, Xia Shuanghan, who was lying on the stone wall, adjusted his breathing, and then began to stretch his legs and climb down the mountain.

The process of climbing the rock wall by stepping on the tail of an arrow is obviously much more difficult than the process of going up. Fortunately, in the process of trying beforehand, Xia Shuanghan, who realized this, asked the crossbowmen to shorten the distance between the arrows. Therefore, even if I have an extra child on my back now, and I use my hands and feet to start climbing down the mountain, I don't feel very difficult.

It's just that, as the saying goes, "there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune", just after Xia Shuanghan moved down a few arrows, her left foot stepped on the ground, and her right foot tried to find the next foothold, only to hear a "click" sound, and completely lost the focus point of her feet because she stepped on the arrow tail under her left foot.

"Oh my God!"

"Be careful!"

"Hold on!" ......

Looking up at Xia Shuanghan, who was hanging on the stone wall with Chagapu on his back and relying only on the grasp of his hands, many villagers under the cliff let out a worried cry.

At the moment of stepping on the broken arrow tail, Xia Shuanghan who was severely scratched by the broken wooden stubble remaining in the stone wall on the front side of the entire left calf, desperately endured the stinging pain on the leg and the numbness in the arm caused by stopping the short rapid fall, and only desperately grasped the arrow tail in his hand, calmly restraining his legs from struggling due to his survival instinct.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva hard, Xia Shuanghan was desperately trying to comfort Chagap, who was frightened behind his back, so as to prevent him from causing unnecessary trouble to the two of them because of his struggle, but suddenly heard a call that should not have appeared under the cliff at this time.

And what surprised her, the "frost cold" that was extremely eager was made by Lu Shaoyun, who followed Kurt who led the way, and ran to the bottom of the cliff first.

If it is said that the main reason why Lu Shaoyun was able to establish an indelible good impression on her on the night of the Lantern Festival when he really knew Xia Shuanghan, was because of her love and righteousness, perseverance and bravery. Then, Lu Shaoyun believes that what he hates the most in some specific situations is precisely Xia Shuanghan's love and righteousness, perseverance and bravery.

When he ran into the mountains with Kurt, who was leading the way in front, Lu Shaoyun realized a problem the moment he heard the exclamations of many villagers before he turned the corner—something must be wrong. It's just that even though he was mentally prepared enough, he still couldn't help but gasp when he looked up and saw Xia Shuanghan's current situation.

On the front side of Xia Shuanghan's smooth and white left calf, a bloody wound that had been cut by broken stubble and spread almost from the ankle to the knee was constantly bleeding outward. And carrying Chagap on her back, barely relying on the grasp of both hands, barely hanging on the cliff, aroused Lu Shaoyunfei's impulse to rescue her in an instant.

However, Lu Shaoyun, who had just shouted an anxious and concerned "frost cold" and was about to step on the ground with his right foot in order to use his strength to carry out light work, somehow shook a dream-like picture in front of him.

In the canopy-like shade cast by the tall and lush trees, between the two simply repaired mounds, where it is impossible to see what words are on the stele, the summer frost and cold, which are splashed with ink on the front placket, are being held in Liu Zirun's arms immovably in his arms.

From her gradually losing luster eyes and the uncontrollable convulsions of her whole body, even if Lu Shaoyun didn't look at the blood stains spreading on the ground, she knew that life was constantly escaping from Xia Shuanghan's body—she was dying.

And at this moment, Xia Shuanghan, who was still hanging on the stone wall, did not know that Lu Shaoyun's mind actually flashed the scene of her previous life when she was dying, and when she heard Lu Shaoyun's call under the cliff, her first reaction was to shout in response, in order to prevent Lu Shaoyun's mind from heating up and impulsively flying to help her.

Before leaving Beijing, when discussing the martial arts mastered by the "Tang Brothers" in the "Murderous Mansion", the latent trio reached such a consensus - light skills and acupoints, these two skills that are too amazing for the Rong people outside the Guan, and they must not be displayed in Naming Village. Otherwise, as outsiders, they are likely to attract more intense attention and suspicion from the "sentinels".

Therefore, at this moment, Xia Shuanghan, who was bent on "I must not let the possibility of Ting Xuan's true identity being exposed because of my relationship", couldn't care about thinking about when Lu Shaoyun entered the village with the caravan. She responded loudly to Lu Shaoyun, hoping that her reaction would stop any reckless actions that Lu Shaoyun might make next. (To be continued.) )
