Chapter 209: Xiaobao, didn't you win the lottery
Time flies quickly, and a third of the journey has passed.
The second third of the journey was all downhill, for as we got closer and closer to the edge of the dense forest, the slippery moss and meadows could easily make a few unscrupulous boys suffer dumb and fall.
The little face of the mud painting makes it look like a bunch of mud monkeys.
They fought for each other, refusing to lag behind and running forward desperately, hoping not to be left alone.
By the time they reached the last third of the lot, the twelve teenagers didn't bother wiping their sweat or drinking water, and one by one they stopped panting and gathered in front of a large rock wall that was a hundred feet high.
Looking up, the big stone wall that looks like the heavenly sword has cut off half of it is simply unscathed and smooth.
The faΓ§ade is so steep that it is almost perpendicular to the ground.
When several babies saw this scene, they had already begun to talk to each other, muttering, showing embarrassment, and they were afraid of fear.
When Xue Pan saw everyone like this, he was afraid that if he delayed some more time, the members of the group training would collude with each other, and this fear would be passed on from individual people to the hearts of everyone in the group training. At that moment, it will be even more difficult to conquer this virgin stone wall.
Xue Pan said to the members of the group training as a substitute coach: "Everyone is looking at it, this big stone wall is a rare strange stone ridge among the mountains, known as 'mountain beaver', even the mountain beaver who walks on the mountain road is like a flat ground is afraid of it." Today, if we can conquer this stone wall and successfully climb up to it, it will be like fighting a war of annihilation against the Hu people on the border of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and we will celebrate after returning to the camp. β
The brothers regained their strength under the encouragement of Xue Pan, and several of them were a little reckless and eager to try.
Xue Pan said to Mingyan: "Come, Yanzi (Xue Pan's affectionate name for Mingyan), let's cooperate and give a demonstration to the big guy." β
That Mingyan is a landlubber, before participating in the group exercise, at most in front of and behind Baoyu's body, taking care of it, doing some errands, lifting a heavy object or something, although the work planted by the service workers are good, and naughty hobbies such as hitting birds and stealing eggs are also more "capable", but, after all, he is still a baby who grew up in the city and does things in the city, in fact, he has never seen this bare stone wall of 100 zhang high.
At this time, Mingyan's legs trembled and people shrank their heads.
Wei Xiaobao patted Mingyan's shoulder and said, "Brother, aren't you scared to pee?" β
Mingyan hurriedly touched his trouser pocket, and then, regardless of his identity as a domestic servant, chased after Xiaobao and hit: "You kid thief, you actually fooled me." β
Xiaobao dodged back with a grin, but was unexpectedly given a "flower name" by Xue Pan:
"Wei Xiaobao, you will cooperate with me instead of Mingyan. β
"I ...... , I ......" Looking at Xue Pan, who was bullying the people and shaking the Southern Zhou, Xiaobao swallowed back the second half of the sentence and nodded uncontrollably.
Then, Wei Xiaobao walked towards Xue Pan with a sad face, and took the two ice chisels and a roll of hemp rope from Xue Pan's hands.
Xue Pan said: "Xiaobao, if you are really successful, but you will win glory for the mother of the Oriole Pavilion." β
Wei Xiaobao cried in his heart, and said in his heart:
"If I don't do it today, don't chop me up and burn me. β
Under the guidance of Xue Pan, Xiaobao carefully tied the hemp rope into a circle, wrapped it around the waist of his trousers, and then handed the other end of the hemp rope to Xue Pan, who was tall and tall on the ground.
Xue Pan was also like Wei Xiaobao, wrapped the hemp rope in a circle, tied it firmly on the waist of his trousers, and then grabbed both ends of the rope with both hands.
Xue Pan gestured to Wei Xiaobao firmly with his eyes, and even with it, he was also transmitting a certain confidence, as if to say: "What are you afraid of, I am here!"
Wei Xiaobao looked around, and when he met a grand slam, he said in his heart:
"Maybe the big guys are thinking about something! Definitely, some are glad that they are not the first to climb, some are worried and scared for me Wei Xiaobao, and some may gloat because my Xiaobao takes the lead......
Wei Xiaobao, a clever boy who grew up in the Listening Oriole Pavilion, has a thorough understanding of human nature in the world. He never complains about other people's attitudes towards him, nor does he care about Xue Pan's arrogance towards him at this time, he will be at peace with the quietest state of mind, which is ...... But his mother inherited the innate good qualities that were inherited from him.
Indeed, Wei Xiaobao is also as inexperienced as Mingyan, at this time, he is facing another virgin stone wall, and unexpectedly, he was selected to be the first stone climber.
This does not dampen his ambition, nor does it make him complain about grievances.
"Such a person is a warrior!" Baoyu is the person who knows Wei Xiaobao best, watching Wei Xiaobao walk calmly towards the big stone wall, he can't help but admire in his heart:
"This is the real Wei Xiaobao, don't look at the usual forward-looking, crooked, tricky, nagging and complaining, but when things are really in front of him and he has to carry it, this guy has no twisting, coquettishness, and all kinds of physical discomfort on weekdays, but can face difficulties head-on. It's not easy!"
Xue Pan said loudly to everyone: "Wei Xiaobao's task is very difficult, it is a move to pave the way for you, come, give a round of applause." β
Thunderous applause.
Wei Xiaobao hugged his fists and started the journey.
Since the stone wall is 100 zhang high, it has the feeling of reaching to the sky. Looking up from below, I always feel as if I have been summoned by God.
Xiao Baoxin said: "God bless, my legs are shaking, but my heart is not shaking, I just want to bless my heart with bright eyes, quick and reliable movements, and I implemented the steps under my feet as soon as possible." β
He used an ice chisel to dig hard into the face of the stone wall, but the ice chisel did not penetrate the stone wall due to the lack of force in the initial attempt.
Xue Pan still grabbed the two ends of the hemp rope around his waist with both hands, and he stood with his feet apart to maintain a steady and powerful posture.
He said to Xiaobao, "Try it and smash it into the crack in the stone with an ice chisel." β
Xiaobao really picked up a stone crack and chiseled it into according to Xue Pan's instructions, and this time, he grabbed the stone as soon as he chiseled.
After that, Xiaobao began to swing the ice chisel in his other hand, and again, plunged deep into the crack in the stone.
In this way, it was the ice chisel in his own hand that hung him up in the air.
Okay! The first step is complete. Xiaobao secretly encouraged himself.
Embedding a small wooden plank in each ice-chiseled stone crevice can become a sturdy foot pedal during Xiaobao's ascent!
Xiao Bao was very dedicated to chiseling the cracks in the stone and laying the wooden planks so that he could step on them safely in the next step, and he became more and more confident, and prepared for the promotion to higher heights step by step.
And Xue Pan, as Wei Xiaobao's backing, his two feet were deeply rooted in the ground, as if two big iron nails were nailed to the ground, he didn't give an inch, and he couldn't move the thunder, which was simply Wei Xiaobao's backing for hard climbing.
