Chapter 24: The Cliff
After the gunshot, the few people who woke up did not panic, and then the black man on duty at night whistled, and then dragged a wild boar that was still bleeding over, and said with a smile.
The black guy's marksmanship is still good, this shot is right in the heart of the wild boar's brain, the wild boar's skin is thick and thick, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to kill with one shot, and the injured wild boar will fight back more crazily.
Except for Li Junjie and another white man's subordinates, they got up and walked around, and no one else moved, and it was normal to hunt a wild boar in the forest.
Zhou Xuan was very interested, this wild boar was about two hundred catties, not small, the black man dragged the pig to the side, cut open the belly of the wild boar with a knife, removed the internal organs, and then cut off the meaty place, peeled the skin, and the other white man built a frame with wood and roasted the pork cut by the black man on the fire.
Zhou Xuan looked at his watch, it was already five o'clock in the morning, and he didn't feel sleepy, so he stood aside and watched the black man rectify the wild boar, the black man looked quite skillful, because there was no water, most of it was thrown away, including the internal organs, but even so, the meat cut and grilled was not less than 100 catties.
For nearly half an hour, the fragrance of wild boar meat was permeated, and all the people couldn't sleep, and the compressed biscuits they ate last night made their stomachs panic, and this smell of wild boar, where can they still sleep?
The white man who roasted the pork took out another bag of salt from his bag, tore open the bag, and sprinkled the salt powder on the wild boar on the shelf, and the salt and lard fell into the fire and burned loudly.
When it was done, he took a knife and cut it into small pieces, and the black man also cut the wild boar, cut a few branches, cut them into small sticks the length of chopsticks, sharpened one end, and then forked the pieces of meat and distributed them to the people.
The fire in the fire is very big, the fire is also fierce, and the roasted wild boar meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which is indeed delicious, not to mention a group of people who have been tormented by compressed biscuits for a day.
Although I ate a lot, but there was too much meat, I didn't even eat a third, and the black guy finally sealed the remaining wild boar meat with a plastic bag, and put it on the back of the bag, although there was no delicious fresh meat after roasting and eating, but it was better than eating compressed biscuits and canned meat, and the remaining wild boar meat still had sixty or seventy catties, at least you could eat a few meals.
By half-past six, it was already dawn, and the black and white men put out the fire, and then each of them checked and packed their bags and began to move towards their destination.
It's just that the road ahead is getting harder and harder, and then there is no road at all, and it is all about cutting through the thorns and vines with a machete to make a way, but the speed of progress is even slower.
Fu Tianlai looked at the surrounding environment while walking, he was also a little hesitant, after all, it has been twenty years since he last came here, and the general direction is right, but the path he walked twenty years ago is long gone.
At the end of the day, I probably didn't make it ten miles to the road, but I spent another night in the jungle, until at noon on the third day, when I got out of a leafy vine, and suddenly I saw a mountain in front of me that was half surrounded by cliffs.
Fu Tianlai was overjoyed, ran to the front and looked around, there were more stone ridges in this area, and in front of them was a huge stone forest that was winding like a dragon.
Fu Tianlai took a look, then took out his dagger and scraped it at a position on a multi-ton boulder raised in front of him.
After a few clicks, after scraping off the surface of the moss, a deeply inscribed Chinese "Fu" character was revealed!
Fu Tianlai said excitedly: "Found it, found it!" ”
After a pause, he pointed to the word and said to the crowd: "I carved this word twenty years ago, and from this place it is four kilometers west to the sinkhole!" ”
Fu Tianlai's words made the rest of the tired people immediately refreshed, except for Fu Tianlai, no one else had been there, although he had known that there was danger, but after all, the purpose of this time was to go there, and he was not excited when he heard that he was about to arrive.
Fu Tianlai found the trail he had walked before, and there was still a shadow of the path, Li Junjie took his three subordinates to continue to open the road in front, at this time it was much better than walking in the jungle, and the four-kilometer journey only took more than two hours to arrive.
The moment they arrived at the sinkhole, everyone threw the backpack bags on their shoulders on the ground and went to the edge of the rock to probe down.
Zhou Xuan gasped!
This sinkhole has a radius of at least two or three thousand meters, cliffs on all sides, and a depth of five or six hundred meters, and the head is a little dizzy when you see it, and the bottom of the pit is a lush forest, and you can't see where the puddle mouth Fu Tian said is.
Li Junjie had two white men set up a small tent, then mounted a small automatic pulley on a large tree on the edge of the rock, and two nylon ropes on the pulley.
This nylon rope is also special, don't look at only the thickness of the little finger, the weight can reach more than 20,000 kilograms, is made of a hundred fishing silk as thin as a collection of small nylon wire, each small wire can bear two hundred kilograms of load alone, but the overall weight is very light.
Li Junjie's three subordinates roasted the remaining wild boar meat again, and after a full meal, they arranged to prepare to go down to the sinkhole, and the two white men arranged to stay in place here, because this exit is not guarded, and if an outsider or a wild beast destroys the pulley and rope, it will be a big deal.
After leaving enough food and ammunition, Li Junjie told the two of them for a while, but there is a walkie-talkie, and the top and bottom are always in contact, and they will know what is going on at the first time.
The black man was the first to descend the rock wall, carrying his bag and fastening his seat belt, which was fastened with two ropes, one to limit the speed of the slide, and to speed up or slow down by mobilizing the loose mechanism.
The pulleys installed on the rocks are basically useless when going down, and when you come up, you can twist the rope to pull people up automatically, and if you use rock climbing, how much time does it take to climb the cliff of five or six hundred meters?
The second to go down was Konji Ito, followed by Fu Tianlai, and the Wolf brothers followed.
After Elena went down, Fu Ying smiled at Zhou Xuan and said, "Xiao Zhou, it's your turn!" ”
To be honest, Zhou Xuan is a little afraid of heights, this cliff is not ordinarily high, and Zhou Xuan has an inexplicable fear of the sinkhole since he was a child, but at this moment he can only go down.
After fastening the seat belt, I closed my eyes and took a few breaths, grabbed the rope and slowly went down, and everyone wore a hard hat to prevent the debris from falling overhead.
When Zhou Xuan reached more than 20 meters, he looked up, and above him was Fu Ying, and then Yuriko Ono, and the top and last person was Li Junjie.
In the distance of more than 100 meters below, a series of people are like grasshoppers tied to a line, and when they are in the cliff, they feel that the cliff is even higher and steeper.
Zhou Xuan stopped and took a few breaths, but when he looked up, he saw Fu Ying's pretty eyes staring at him, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Zhou, what's wrong?" ”
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that I haven't climbed a rock before!" ”
