Chapter 110: It's Better to Be Alive Than Anything Else

I tried desperately to pull Xu Shu up, tried a few times, tried all my strength, but I didn't even think of lifting a foot up. I know in my heart that even if I am down-to-earth, it will be very difficult to lift such a weight of about 100 catties, not to mention that now I only hook the branches with my feet, and there is no other strength, if I want to lift her up, how much waist and wrist strength does it take?

Xu Shu was still in a coma, her body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds at this time, and I felt in horror that her wrist was sliding down inch by inch out of my grasp. And my right hand was almost out of strength, and I couldn't add even a bit of strength to it.

I hurriedly stretched out my left hand and grabbed her palm, which was slightly better.

The mountain wind blew fiercely, and Xu Shu's body began to sway slightly. Although I was tired and dying, my mind was still very clear and calm. I know that even if I hold her with both hands, it will only be a little delay, and if I don't want to find a way, Xu Shu will fall sooner or later because of my powerlessness. If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll let go of my hands and feet in pain and blame, and let my body fall with Xu Shu.

As a result, Xu Shu and I were, of course, broken bones together! If I don't want to die, and I don't want Xu Shu to die, I have to think of ways to save myself immediately. But in this case, what can be done, what can be used to save oneself?

I hung my head upside down, observing the situation left and right and below. The cliff is not straight, but it does not seem to have any prominent platforms, and it is impossible to see further away due to the darkness. Except for these two large trees, the rest of the cliff are small trees and shrubs, which cannot bear the weight of a person at all.

But I found that the two big trees were growing upwards at a forty-five degree angle, Xu Shu and I were still at the upper end of the tree, and at the bottom of my left, the roots of the old tree were not far from Xu Shu's body, and the place was much thicker than the branches I was hanging, almost as thick as two people hugging each other.

I was happy in my heart, and the first thought was to shake Xu Shu up and throw it at the root of the tree. But I immediately rejected this idea, although the root of the tree is thick, but after all, it is round, even if Xu Shu is thrown up by me accurately, and because she is unconscious, she will not grasp it by herself, and she will inevitably slide down the root and fall off the cliff, and the chance of success may not be in case.

But that place was already the only place to stay, and the other tree was far away from me, so I hardly had to think about it. I looked at it again, and suddenly I was very grateful to God for the wonderful arrangement that I was able to grow these two great trees on this cliff.

Although these two big trees are not tall, they are almost parallel and close to each other, and the branches are intertwined with each other, and it is impossible to tell which branch belongs to which tree without looking closely. I was hanging from the branches of another tree, which grew horizontally, and the branches penetrated into the branches of this tree, intertwining with the branches of various thicknesses and sizes.

The second thought came to my mind: I crawled along the hanging branch, there was a branch over there that could pass just above the trunk of the big tree, as long as I could climb from this branch to that branch, and move all the way to the top of the tree, I could put Xu Shu on the main trunk safely. There was still danger, but it was much more certain than I had just thought.

My hands began to go numb, my heart ached in the crooks of my legs, my waist was sore, and I was dizzy. But I only have one belief in my mind, that is, I must let Xu Shu live. I gritted my teeth and began my action.

I hung upside down from the trunk of the tree, and I crawled towards the trunk of the tree by bending my legs and moving little by little. To be honest, the two branches add up to a little more than two meters apart, but for me, it is no less than the Red Army's Long March.

At this time, my whole body was extremely tired, large drops of sweat were dripping from the top of my head, and my mind was highly concentrated, all supported by faith and the only last breath.

One more point, the direction I went to, downwind! The mountain wind is particularly strong tonight, so it can't be raining, right? But the violent tailwind still helped me a lot. I climbed from one branch to the other, and then to the top of the trunk of the big tree. I don't know how long it took, my whole body was almost unconscious, and I could only subconsciously and mechanically clench.

With the last bit of faith, I dragged Xu Shu up the main trunk of the big tree and put it down in the direction of the trunk. The trunk was very thick, Xu Shu lay steadily on the tree, and when my hand was released, she did not slip.

My heart was overjoyed, and suddenly my whole body lost strength, and I fell from the branch as soon as my eyes went dark. Coincidentally, it happened to be pressed on Xu Shu's back, and at the last moment before I fell unconscious, I seemed to hear a faint moan from her nose.

I soon woke up again, it was the rain that woke me up, I opened my eyes and saw and heard the fluttering of leaves, and large rains fell from the sky, although partly blocked by the leaves, but still a small part fell directly on me.

At the moment, except for brain cells, I almost don't exist in my whole body, as if I am not commanded by the brain. Xu Shu under his body was short of breath, but his eyes were still closed. But I'm glad that at least she's alive and breathing.

I guessed that the reason for her shortness of breath was probably that I was pressing her with more than 100 pounds, so I thought about getting up and leaving her, thinking like this in my head, but where did my hands and feet listen to me? In desperation, I could only hold on and wait for my strength to recover.

The only thing I want to do right now is to get a cigarette to smoke, but my cigarette is in my pocket and I can't take it out. Also, I remember that my lighter was in my coat pocket, and when I hung upside down from the tree, it seemed that a lot of things in my pocket had fallen out, and the lighter was probably gone.

The rain began to fall heavier and heavier, and my clothes were already soaked, and the mountain wind blew even more bitterly cold. Stirred by the cold wind, I regained consciousness in my hands and feet. I gasped and sat up and slowly walked away from Xu Shu's body. I pulled out my half-wet cigarette and reached for the lighter, and sure enough, my pocket was empty, and everything was gone. I had to smile bitterly and throw the cigarette under the cliff, out of sight!

I looked up at the sky, and it was raining heavily, and although there were leaves above my head, I still couldn't do anything. I looked at the roots of the trees behind me, but they weren't raining. It turned out that the cliff side was not only covered with shrubs, but also had a protruding boulder, which just blocked the falling rain. I looked down and saw that Xu Shu's face was snow-white, and his lips were purple from the cold. Hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her up and hold her in his arms, and stepped backwards with the trunk between his legs, holding Xu Shu little by little to the root of the tree, leaning his back against the cliff. Due to the cold, Xu Shu's body in my arms was shivering, and I hurriedly took off my coat and put it on for Xu Shu. Then I hugged her tightly, trying to give her a hint of warmth, even though I myself was so cold that my teeth chattered.

Xu Shu in her arms had been in a coma for a long time, and in my tight embrace, she slowly opened her eyes, but immediately closed them.

I only heard her say softly: "Tang Qian...... Are we all dead? ”

I heard her voice, looked down at her, and said happily, "Are you awake?" We're not dead, but it's not much better than dead. ”

Xu Shu opened his eyes again, his eyes flowed, he looked around, and asked me again: "...... Where is this? My head is so dizzy and hurts in many parts of my body! What's wrong? ”

I said, "Our car fell off the mountain, and we didn't fall to our death, but we were trapped here and couldn't go up or down." And it's raining again, it's bad luck! ”

Xu Shu seemed to remember, and she whispered, "Yes...... I'm sorry, it's all my fault, and it's hurt you ......" Suddenly she couldn't go on. His face was hot, and he was too ashamed to raise his head.

I said strangely, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xu Shu didn't answer, shrank his head, and tightened his clothes. Suddenly, she screamed, and said with a sad face, "Ouch! My wrist ...... It hurts to death! ”

I reached out and stroked the back of her hand, apologetically, "Does it hurt?" I had no choice but to use my strength in order to hold you just now, I'm sorry! ”

Xu Shu said: "Did you save me?" ”

I said, "I'm just saving my life." ”

Xu Shu moved her wrist gently, the pain made her frown slightly, she turned her head and looked at my arms again, and said, "I understand, thank you!" I...... It felt cold......"

I reached over my other hand and hugged her tightly, and she buried her head in my arms.

After a while, she said, "Can we be saved?" ”

She reminded me in one word, yes! It's the 21st century now, and communication is so developed, we can call for help!

I was overjoyed and hurriedly reached out and took out my phone from my inner pocket. But as soon as I saw my phone, I only smiled bitterly, and I remembered, wasn't my phone already out of battery?

I had to ask her, "Where's your phone?" Let's call on our mobile phones for help! ”

"A cell phone? Should it be in my pants pocket? ”

I saw her holding her wrist and looking in pain, so I reached out and touched the two pockets of her jeans, but there was nothing, did she also fall down the cliff? Don't!

Xu Shu whispered in my arms: "Not here, it seems to be in the butt pocket!" ”

"Really?" I didn't think about it, and in a hurry, I reached out and touched her buttocks. It's a pity that her ass is round and plump, and there is no obvious bulge, and it seems that she has really lost it.

I was disappointed and helpless. I couldn't help but sigh and leaned back against the cliff. Xu Shu looked up and asked me, "No?" I shook my head with a wry smile, and then turned on the power button of my phone in the hope of what happened.

My old mobile phone, half a day after turning on the signal to dial, but just a little time it can't wait, not waiting for me to press the button, the phone sent out a burst of "tick" sound, and then the screen went black, and automatically turned off. For a while, I was so angry that I just wanted to throw this broken phone out and smash it to pieces, and every time it came to a critical time, it didn't work, why should I keep it?

Xu Shu saw that my phone was out of battery, and he also sighed slightly, and said, "We...... Can you get out of danger? ”

In order to give her confidence and not let her despair, I said categorically: "Of course! I promise you that I will definitely take you out of trouble, so you can rest assured! ”

Xu Shu listened to my assurances and seemed to be very happy. She buried her face in my arms again, and said, "Now I know that life is the most precious, and life is better than anything else, don't you say?" ”

I sighed, "Yes! It's better to be alive than anything else! ”
