Chapter 467: Life for Life
The power of the sticks and gloves was immediately revealed.
Xu Dong poked a hole, and wanted to draw a scoop according to the gourd, and then find something to insert into the hole, but there are really not many things like a mountaineering pickaxe in the Qiankun bag, and only two and a half feet long were found, and it was only a short steel pipe used as a **.
Xu Dong sighed, eating and drinking, he prepared everything very well, it was this climbing rescue tool, Xu Dong didn't prepare a few things in total.
However, he really hadn't encountered a situation like this, so Xu Dong looked at the only two short steel pipes, frowned and looked up at the balcony-like steep wall again.
After a long time, Xu Dong bit it, held a section of steel pipe in his left hand, inserted it into the hole in the rock wall, tried it, the hole was nearly thirty centimeters deep, a little larger than the steel pipe, it was not too laborious to insert and take out, and the steel pipe was inserted inside, but it would not fall out directly.
After trying a few times, Xu Dong used a stick to poke a hole out of reach, inserted the steel pipe in his left hand, and then did a pull-up force, and the whole person rose two feet high.
However, out of habit, Xu Dong's feet also subconsciously kicked, wanting to find a place to settle on the cliff, but this kick made Xu Dong's right foot suddenly have a sharp pain.
Xu Dong couldn't help but scream "ah" in pain, and the whole person fell straight to the ground again, and it took a while to breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that if you want to climb the cliff, you can go to Qiao Yanxue, and now you can only rely on your own hands, Xu Dong stared at his own hands for a while, and then gritted his teeth and picked up the stick again.
After that, Xu Dong poked out the hole with the stick in his right hand, inserted the steel pipe in his left hand into the hole, and climbed up with his two hands alternately.
Originally, if it was a normal day, this might not be a very difficult thing, but at this time, Xu Dong's injuries were already very strict, almost dragging one right leg, climbing up with only two hands, you can imagine how amazing Cheng DΓΉ's pain and difficulty are.
Therefore, Xu Dong couldn't climb up a few times, so he could only hold a steel pipe or stick with one hand and hang on the cliff to free up his other hand to rest for a while, which took almost an hour, and Xu Dong only rose less than ten meters.
But at this time, Xu Dong was almost a little desperate - the strength in his arm was getting weaker and weaker, his right leg seemed to be cut by a knife, and the muscles of his whole body, piece by piece, seemed to be torn by something, and it was also very difficult to breathe, and even his eyes were already a little blurred.
At this moment, Qiao Yanxue coughed and asked very weakly, "Xu Dong...... Are you still ...... Are you still here......"
Xu Dong bit it, took a step up, and then took a breath with all his might, and reluctantly replied: "In ...... At...... Don't move, I see you......"
In fact, Xu Dong didn't even see the tree where Qiao Yanxue lived, not to mention Qiao Yanxue's shadow.
Xu Dong ...... You're trying to find a way to save me...... Right......" Qiao Yanxue coughed a few times and said again.
"No......" Xu Dong took a breath and laughed very hard twice, and then said: "I think you are taller here, and the scenery you can see must be better, hehe...... So, I want to take a look at ...... with you."
"Rock climbing is a sport that combines the intellect and the body...... There are a lot of skills in this...... Qiao Yanxue was very weak, but she worked hard to continue: "The most important thing is to be calm and have a good state of mind, which is very important, in addition, you can find a gap in the rock wall, and then plug the rock bolt into it, and then hang the safety buckle on the rock bolt...... Make a few more of these rock bolts, and people can get a long rest with these rock bolts......"
Xu Dong knew that at this time, Qiao Yanxue was giving himself advice and instructing himself on how to climb rocks, but his current mentality was not to mention, for a seriously injured person, no matter how good that mentality was, how good could it be.
Besides, his own climbing tools, that is, a very simple stick, a steel pipe, a rock bolt, a safety buckle or something, where can I take out a half of it.
Xu Dong smiled bitterly, grabbed the stick with his right hand, and with the power of his right hand, he hung the whole person on the stick, and changed his left hand to get a moment of rest.
"Ahem...... Qiao Yanxue coughed a few times, and then said: "Actually, in some cases, you must also deal with it flexibly...... For example, when the bolt runs out, you have to think of other ways...... Use the rope you carry on your body, or even a belt...... Ahem......"
As she spoke, Qiao Yanxue choked again, and couldn't say any more.
Xu Dong was shocked suddenly, didn't he have a rope on his body, he knew before that he had two hands to exchange for rest, why not use the rope around his waist.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Dong felt that his right hand was already sore, but at this time, Xu Dong gritted his teeth and held his breath, copied the safety rope in his hand with his left hand, and then gritted his teeth, with the magical power of the glove, made a one-arm pull-up, and then hung the rope on the stick.
However, Xu Dong didn't think of using the rope to rest on the rock wall before, so he didn't even prepare a knot or a sleeve for the rope, and now, he could only hang the rope on the stick for a while, and then circle it twice on the stick.
However, even if it was just like this, Xu Dong's right hand was suddenly liberated, and he lifted a section of safety rope, hung it on the stick, and then made a big rope circle and let himself sit in the circle.
In this way, Xu Dong completely freed up all his hands.
Xu Dong sat in the circle and exhaled a long breath, and at this time, his hands were numb.
After barely resting for a while, a pair of hands regained some consciousness.
Xu Dong took out some food, drank water, and replenished his body well.
Knowing that his body was half restored, Xu Dong began to prepare again, there was still a rope in the Qiankun bag, and there were some materials used to make a tent, Xu Dong chose a piece of toughness material, folded it, and then used the rope to wear it inside, making a soft pocket that was more comfortable to sit on, and then hung this soft pocket on his shoulder, which could be used as a rest at any time.
After doing this, Xu Dong moved his hands for a moment, then removed the rope hanging on the stick, and then climbed up step by step according to the previous method.
When he felt a little struggling, Xu Dong directly hung the soft pocket on the steel pipe or stick, and then rested beautifully for a while.
In this way, after resting three or four times, Xu Dong finally saw Qiao Yanxue.
The place where Qiao Yanxue lives is a tree that grows out of a crack in the rock that is not wide, and many broken branches and branches on the tree are hanging on the tree very messily, it seems that Qiao Yanxue should have hung up the branches of other trees on the rock wall when she fell.
It is estimated that it is precisely because these branches continue to block Qiao Yanxue's falling speed that Qiao Yanxue was lucky enough to pick up a life.
At this time, Qiao Yanxue also saw Xu Dong, and saw that Xu Dong was so clumsy and difficult, but he was unswervingly approaching him, Qiao Yanxue, holding back her tears, coughed and talked to Xu Dong.
Xu Dong ...... Do you think it's worth it? β
Xu Dong sat on a more comfortable soft pocket, wiped a handful of sweat and said with a smile: "What is worth it, I have to do this!" β
"But you're taking your life...... Ahem......"
Xu Dong laughed for a while, and then said: "Actually, it should be said that if it weren't for your gift, I would have died many times, and now, you are like this, even if there is something, it is just to give you a life......"
Qiao Yanxue coughed for a while, and sighed again: "Alas...... I can't think of it, I can't think of the two of us......"
Xu Dong took a breath for a while, put away his soft pocket, and then continued to climb up, while diverting the topic and saying: "I really didn't do anything wrong with that incident that day, here, I apologize to you, don't worry about it anymore, okay?" β
Qiao Yanxue sighed, and then said, "Who cares about that matter with you...... In fact...... Actually, I'm not right, I shouldn't have ...... with you."
"By the way, how did you get here......
Qiao Yanxue sighed and said, in fact, Qiao Yanxue left in a bad mood that day, and the next morning with Yang Huashan and Ma Sheng, the three of them came directly to Changbai Mountain.
Because Qiao Yanxue had a specific target area in her hands, and her actions were much faster than Xu Dong and others, in those three days, Qiao Yanxue searched the target area, but unfortunately, no trace of the dragon scale grass was found.
Due to supply reasons, in the end, Qiao Yanxue had to walk back while looking for traces of dragon scale grass, but when she arrived in this area that day, she suddenly heard a few gunshots, as well as the sound of shouting and scolding, and from these voices, Qiao Yanxue also heard that it was Xu Dongren.
Since there was a gunshot and they kept shouting and scolding, it must be that Xu Dong and the others were in trouble, so Qiao Yanxue took Yang Huashan and Ma Sheng to rush over, wanting to take a hand.
But what I didn't expect was that it actually fell to this point.
At this time, with Xu Dong's unremitting efforts, he finally reached the tree where Qiao Yanxue was.
Xu Dong was so excited that he couldn't even take a breath, he immediately tied the safety rope to the tree pocket, prepared to return to the platform below, and then slowly climbed up the tree to meet Qiao Yanxue.
Qiao Yanxue was lying in the middle of some branches, needless to say, her clothes were ragged, her body was scarred and bloodstained, and her hands and feet were broken in different ways.
However, what can make Qiao Yanxue persist until now and not be directly frozen to death is the branches that were broken when Qiao Yanxue fell, and on this tree, Qiao Yanxue built a "nest" that can shelter from the cold wind.
It's just that when he saw Qiao Yanxue's appearance, Xu Dong's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour.
If Qiao Yanxue didn't give up the treasure clothes to herself, she would definitely not have fallen to this point.
