Chapter 45: The Way Home

The mountain road is extremely difficult to walk, the dirt road is potholed and dusty, and the carriages have basically become dust gathering places. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ahem, stop!" Chen Mujin was so choked by the dust that he couldn't open his eyes, he couldn't bear it, and suddenly stopped.

The horse roared, and the car stopped.

Chen Mujin and Xu Guan'er quickly jumped out of the carriage and stood in front of them in a dusty place and breathed heavily.

"Ahem, I'm really about to choke to death, I won't sit in this car!" She complained incessantly, wiping her eyes and face with her sleeve.

"Use this, your sleeves are all gray too." Wu Hang looked at her embarrassed appearance, and didn't know where to take out a snow-white handkerchief and handed it to her.

She looked at the veil a little hesitantly, then looked up at him again, and sure enough, she had a disgusted expression!

So, she took it unceremoniously, thanked her, and wiped her face carefully, and a snow-white handkerchief was gradually dyed gray.

"That, little master, it's all soiled for you, I'll go back and wash it before giving it to you." She said with some embarrassment as she looked at the gray veil.

Wu Hang snorted and agreed.

Xu Guan'er on the other side did not have such a good treatment, he used his sleeve to wipe himself into a big face.

Chen Mujin couldn't help but smile when he looked at him.

"Hahaha, Guan'er, I didn't expect you to have a good temperament with a beard." She teased him, laughing narrowly.

Xu Guan'er was also a little helpless, and even the little master had a hint of a smile when he looked at his face.

"Just find a creek and wash it in a while."

"Yes, little master, you can tie the carriage into the forest first, there is not much way left, let's walk back." Chen Mujian proposed.

Seeing that they were all so embarrassed, Wu Hang did not object, unloaded the horse from the cart, and put the cart in the jungle.

The two horses were dragging things on their backs, and Xu Guan'er was holding the reins and slowly following, while Chen Mujin actively ran to the front to explore the way, looking for a creek or something by the way. Without the annoying dust, the air in the mountains is actually very fresh, with birds and cicadas chirping, and lush trees and trees, which is very pleasant. Although the creek was never found, Chen Mujin and his party soon came to the place where the hot air balloon was hidden.

"Senior sister, what should I do now?"

Xu Guan'er dragged out the hot air balloon and looked at her with blank eyes.

"Little Master, I need your help to chop down some thigh-thick tree trunks, Guan'er remove the basket of the hot air balloon, and then we will meet here!" She began to call the shots.

"What are you doing here?" Wu Hang was puzzled.

"I've got a way to get people in and out of the valley easily!" She smiled slyly, revealing two small dimples.

Wu Hang frowned, didn't speak again, turned around and went into the forest, and Guan'er also ran to the hot air balloon.

Chen Mujin smiled with satisfaction, took out the hemp rope and a few large round wooden blocks in the shape of gears from the horse, and assembled them with a stumbling head.

About half an hour later, the little master brought back a dozen neatly cut tree trunks, and Guan'er also carried a large bamboo basket of hot air balloons, and she handed over water and dry food with a smile.

"It's hard, it's hard, let's put these on horseback and go to the Bone Cliff, that position is best for this."

They didn't understand, so they had to listen to her command, and the group marched towards the Bone Cliff.

In fact, the place of the Bone Cliff is not easy to find, it is not an ordinary carriage can reach, and in the depths of the dense forest, one side is the cliff, the other side is the woods, in a triangular distribution, only a small piece of grass is left in the open space, and the end of the open space is the Bone Cliff.

If ordinary people don't find this place, because the dense forest is untidy all year round, it is difficult to walk, and there are many fierce beasts, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life, but it is not a big problem for those who are familiar with this area.

The three of them plus two horses finally came to the Bone Cliff, Chen Mujin couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, and shouted several times on the edge of the cliff. But the clouds hovering below absorbed all of her voice.

"Master, Second Master, Third Master! We're back! ”

Xu Guan'er smiled and looked at her with a little doting.

Wu Hang has always been calm and self-controlled: "It's not too late to get excited if you make the method you said about going down the valley first." ”

Chen Mujin stuck out his tongue and ran happily to unload everything on the horse's back.

Wu Hang and Xu Guan'er looked at the round wooden blocks and hemp rope in this place with complicated expressions, and no one knew how these things could achieve what she said about entering and leaving the valley at any time.

In fact, her idea was to use a very simple physical method, combining the fixed pulley and the movable pulley together, greatly reducing manpower, and a rocker could solve the problem of entering and exiting the valley, but the ancients must not have been able to understand it, she thought about it, and gave them an example.

"You know how the water from the well is fetched, right?"

The two nodded, and then Xu Guan'er said tentatively, "You mean you want to send us to the end in this way?" ”

Chen Mujin was very pleased: "Yes, there is a small difference, but you can understand it, and now I need everyone to help me do it." ”

Wu Hang still had a cool face: "Say, what are you going to do?" ”

She smiled: "The little master made a ...... out of the tree trunk that was just broken."

Chen began to describe her plan in detail and arranged everyone's work, fearing that they would not understand, and drew sketches on the ground.

I don't know how long it took, but finally when the sunset dyed half the sky red, the thing was ready, although it looked very simple, but what came out under Wu Hang's hands was absolutely solid!

Chen Mujin tried to turn the handle, although it was a little smooth, but it was much stronger than the savage way of going down the rope!

"Okay, although this basket can put three people at a time, but the cliff is too high, so I'm afraid that something will go wrong, so I'll go down first, and then I'll put the gear down and the rope up again, and you can get it according to the sketch, so that you can also rocker the bottom in the future." She arranged.

"No, no one has ever tried this thing, your first one is too dangerous! Or I'll come first, I understand the sketch, and I can get it right in the end. Xu Guan'er reacted violently and did not agree at all.

"Senior brother, don't be stubborn, it's the first time you've seen this, it's definitely not as thorough as I am, I'll be the first to go!" Chen also insisted on his own assertions.

"Senior sister, I'm worried about your safety, I'll be the first!"

"Senior brother, don't say it, I must be the first!"

"Enough! Shut up! Wu Hang had a cold face and shouted.

Both of them were startled, and they stopped talking and looked at him in unison.

"Chen Mujian, are you sure you can handle it?" He looked at her very calmly, with a hint of oppression in his eyes.

She replied stunned, "Surely." ”

He withdrew his gaze and thought for a moment before continuing: "Okay, then you go down first, and if there is danger, ring the bell!" ”

Chen Mujin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully.

"Little Master!" Xu Guan'er shouted anxiously.

Wu Hang swept over with a cold eye: "Guan'er, everything must be prioritized, it's dusk now, can you guarantee that you will be able to get it right?" If we don't get it right, as soon as it gets dark, will we all have to feed the beasts? ”

Xu Guan'er's anxious look was fixed on his face, his face turned from red to blue, and finally he gritted his teeth and bowed his head hatefully, and no longer spoke.

Seeing him like this, Chen Mujin felt uncomfortable, stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, stared at his eyes, and said softly: "Don't worry, senior brother, I won't have an accident, I know you're worried about me, but who am I, let's Huaixiao Valley Flower!" God doesn't want me to have an accident, besides, I fell from here last time, and it's not okay, or you saved me. ”

Xu Guan'er rarely heard her soft words, and she was also shaken, and her face changed slightly: "Don't talk nonsense, what can't be lost, you will definitely be safe, we will go home soon." ”

When she heard the word "go home", the tip of her nose was slightly sour: "Well, senior brother, we are going home soon." ”

Wu Hang stood aside, looking at them standing face to face, looking like a concubine, with an indescribable irritability in his heart, he turned around and walked to the wooden frame he had built, and said to her: "Hurry up, the sun is about to set." ”

Chen Mujin heard the shout, quickly withdrew the tears in her eyes, smiled at Xu Guan'er, turned around and walked into the bamboo basket quickly, she was petite, her body was light, and she fell in the middle of the basket, just shook slightly, and there was no other big movement.

The three of them were a little relieved when they saw this.

Xu Guan'er handed her a bag of things that needed to be brought down, and told her again, before signaling the little master to start shaking the rocker.

Chen Mujian lies at the bottom of the bamboo basket in large characters, and his hands and feet are tightly hooked to the newly installed handle on the edge of the basket.

Because it was the first time to fall, the gear was still a little tight, clucking, the rope was put one by one, and the bamboo basket was jumping and jumping, which was very scary.

It took about half an hour before it gradually smoothed out, and Chen Mujian's eyes looked at the cliff, and the clothes on his body were already soaked.

Suddenly, the bamboo basket shook, one side froze and did not move, and the other side began to tilt to one side!

Oh no, it must be hanging on something! Her face was covered with sweat, and she immediately made a decision, rang the handbell, stop it! Otherwise, the bamboo basket will be overturned! She didn't dare to scream, just shook the handbell desperately, and her back was tightly pressed against the bottom of the bamboo basket.

She looked at the bamboo basket that gradually turned to the side, her heart was like a drum, and her hand wanted to climb the hemp rope several times, but her palms were full of sweat, and she didn't catch it! She wanted to cry without tears.

Fortunately, the bell was heard above in time and gradually stopped.

At this moment, the basket is almost parallel to the cliff!

Chen Mujin took a deep breath, grabbed the handle tightly with his hand, turned his body up, took off the handle, and grabbed the hemp rope. When she moved, the bamboo basket was shaken violently, but she still didn't get rid of the hanging thing, but just shook violently with it as a point.

She wrapped her body tightly around the hemp rope, swung herself towards the cliff with the force of the shaking, stretched out her foot and kicked it on the cliff!

With a "stab" sound, the bamboo basket finally broke away from the cliff and fell heavily before it was put in the right position, but at the moment of the fall, the hemp rope bounced off Chen Mujian with huge force!
