Chapter 68: No Parting (5)
Xin Che slowly gathered his strength and prepared to try to push Yin Suwen back to the cliff in one fell swoop, although he was not too sure, but it was better than going to die both. As long as there is a slight opportunity, he is willing to try hard for her.
A hemp rope suddenly hung down from the top of the cliff and landed in front of the two without warning.
"Catch!"
At the same time as the rope appeared, half of the body protruding from the top of the cliff.
Although the willow wind on the top of the cliff had a bad face, he still hung a rope and was ready to save people. Yin Su asked to run away, he received Zhang Shaoqing's order to come to look for people first, because the departure time was a little late, so he fell behind Xinche, and when he found the cliff, he saw her and the monk both falling down the cliff. He didn't have time to hide his identity, so he could only rush to save people first, he knew the importance of Yin Suwen to his young master, so there must be no mistakes in this task of saving her.
Xin Che had never seen Liu Feng, but he recognized his personal guard's dress. Compared with the two guards behind Zhang Shaoqing when he was on the side of Tianshui Square, this person's dress is obviously much more capable and professional.
The rope in front of him was only the thickness of a child's wrist, and it should have been found in an emergency, and Xin Che was not sure if it could withstand the weight of two people. The roots of the vines and trees where his left hand touched made a few fragile popping sounds again, and he couldn't think about it too much, and he was about to change hands and grab the life-saving rope as quickly as he could.
"The rope is not strong enough to accommodate one person."
Liu Feng at the top of the cliff stood in the backlight, Xin Che couldn't see his delicate expression at the moment, only knew that he should be looking at himself with a cold and condescending face. His meaning is very clear, this rope can only save the life of Yin Suwen.
Xinche was clear and relieved in his heart, and he laughed instead of being angry when he heard Liu Feng say this.
"Good. Please, save her. ”
Liu Feng is Zhang Shaoqing's shadow, and the only mission today is to save what Zhang Shaoqing loves and what Zhang Shaoqing hates. Therefore, saving Yin's killing heart is his most correct choice, and he does not hesitate or regret it. The previous monk was always causing trouble for Zhang Shaoqing, and now that he was in danger, he didn't seem to need to bother with it anymore. After rescuing Yin Suwen, as long as a small dagger stabs at the root of the grass stem, everything can be completed.
However, at this time, Liu Feng still had a trace of strangeness in his heart. The monk looked smart and seemed to have understood his thoughts, but he didn't have any intention of resisting, not only gladly accepted his request, but also urged himself to save Yin Suwen as soon as possible.
In the past twenty years as a secret guard, Liu Feng is accustomed to seeing the so-called affection when facing life and death decisions, and most of the people who say their favorite and most important things will choose to exchange each other's lives for their own chance of survival at the moment of death. However, the monk in front of him was the opposite. Hearing Xinche praying that he must save Yin Suwen, Liu Feng just nodded happily.
got Liu Feng's affirmative reply, and Xinche also silently put his mind at ease, that Zhang Shaoqing was finally not too vicious. He first took advantage of the resistance of his legs and the cliff wall to fix Yin Suwen with difficulty, and took the rope in his right hand to try the length, and found that it was not enough to wrap around his waist at all, so he had to wrap it around Yin Suwen's hand in a circle, and finally tied the interface to the dead buckle before finally breathing a sigh of relief.
"Follow the rope up for a while, hold on tightly, and don't let go."
Lying in Yin Suwen's ear, he whispered a few times to make sure that she heard it clearly, and then Xinche grabbed her waist again and prepared to cooperate with Liu Feng to lift her to the top of the cliff.
"What about you? Where are you going? ”
Yin Suwen looked at his left arm wrapped around the rope with a blank expression, and looked at Xin Che in puzzlement. After a brief period of drowsiness, she finally saw clearly that someone was coming to the rescue on the top of the cliff, but in the blink of an eye, the life-saving rope was only tied to herself. She suddenly had a strong premonition that if she followed this lifeline, she would never see Xinche again.
"Don't be in a hurry, you go up first. I can save myself at any time when I am alone, otherwise, after a long time, this vine will not be able to bear the weight of two people, and neither of us will survive if we are tied together. ”
"Really? Then you have to catch up quickly, we said we were going to go together. ”
"Really. We say okay, rest assured. ”
Xin Che hesitated slightly, but still took the initiative to take Yin Suwen into his arms. He promised "we said yes" in his mouth, but there was only infinite bitterness and sourness in his heart. Yin Suwen's hair was faintly in his nose, and one of her arms was tightly wrapped around Xinche and refused to let go, he had the feeling of being relied on for the first time, but unfortunately he couldn't afford this dependence anymore.
The rope shook, Liu Feng didn't give them extra time to say goodbye, and on the top of the cliff, he made a slam and Yin Suwen was dragged straight out of Xinche's embrace. At the same time, Xin Che beside her stepped on the cliff wall, and with the last swing of the grass vine, she gave her full strength to lift upwards towards Yin Suwen's feet.
The moment Xin Che used up the last bit of strength, the grass stems and vines in his hand were all broken at the same time. He didn't have time to say a final goodbye before he sinked into the dark cliff.
"Heart!!"
Yin Suwen's body was thin, and the rope was more than enough to pull her back to the top of the cliff with Liu Feng, but she was uneasy, and when she was dragged up, she just looked back at her heart. This glance was about to become eternal, and the last line of defense in her heart was completely shattered in an instant. The monk named Xinche, who always sacrificed his life to protect him, was about to say goodbye to him forever.
There is no solid city tower in her heart to live in, and Xinche is her last self-protective city defense, and they said that they will leave here together and go to a place where no one knows the birds and flowers. Therefore, she must not just watch him leave, this world is vast, but there is no meaning for her to live alone.
Hearing Yin Su's hoarse cry of blood, Liu Feng had roughly guessed the ending of Xinche. A sigh flashed in his heart, and then he immediately calmed down, since the monk had already decided his fate, it saved him from making more arrangements later, just rescue Yin Suwen and bring him back to Zhang Shaoqing. However, no matter how hard he tried in the next moment, the rope that held Yin Suwen couldn't be pulled anymore.
"Are you crazy?!"
Liu Feng looked down the cliff with difficulty, and instantly became angry. That Yin Suwen was obviously able to be saved soon, but he had to hold on to a raised rock halfway and refused to let go. Not only that, she held the rock wall tightly with one hand, and the other hand that pulled the rope was rubbing against the sharp rocks, and it was only a moment, although the rope on the arm was still there, the fixed interface at the top of the cliff had obvious traces of wear, and if it went on like this, it would definitely break the rope and die.
At this time, Yin Suwen didn't pay attention to any persuasion and anger from Liu Feng, she was only bent on cutting this rope to follow Xinche's footprints. Liu Feng is strong in force, but he can't help Yin Suwen's uncooperative desire for death, he has always been familiar with murder, but he rarely has experienced saving people, facing this woman in front of him who is close to madness, even if he has the heart to save people, he still can't start.
However, after dozens of grinding efforts, the rope at the interface has been worn to the limit of no longer being able to afford a person. After a hoarse cracking sound, Liu Feng reached out for the first time, but still couldn't grasp the broken knot. There was nothing left, only Yin Suwen's faint cry drifted on the top of the cliff.
"Tell Zhang Shaoqing that you will never see each other in your life."
