Chapter 10 Flying with Wings
In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch. ------Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi "Song of Long Hatred"
Zhang was hugged and spun by Long Chen, and couldn't help but be dazzled, but he was confused when he listened, and looked at Long Chen with frowns. Chen Long explained: "The predecessor walked through the water curtain cave and could not pass, and he must go up the cliff to find a way out, these days I have been looking for evidence that the predecessor climbed the cliff and walked, but I didn't expect to finally find it behind this waterfall!" This proves that you can find a way out by climbing this cliff and then climbing over the mountains behind it! When Zhang heard this, he was also happy, but he was sad, thinking that Brother Chen was a dragon among people, how could he be willing to die here, and the two would one day separate. On the surface, he smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you can finally go out." The words were slightly sour.
Chen Longzheng was very excited about the plan to climb over the mountain, unaware of the pain of the beauties around him. smiled and said: "Peach Blossom, you can help me call Liu Li and a few of them to discuss the matter of cliff climbing." Peach Blossom Shi Shiran turned around, just turned around, he was already in tears, and he was afraid that Chen Long would see it, so he didn't dare to wipe his face with the sleeves of his robe, but just let the tears fall and drip on the bluestone moss, turning into dew.
Chen Long rubbed his hands and returned to the hut by the lake, thinking about how to prepare the equipment for mountaineering, meditated for a while, and decided to make some wooden wedges first. I chose some sturdy firewood and cut it with a green dragon dagger. What was cut out was a flat wooden wedge of seven or eight inches long, which formed a small pile around Chen Long in the blink of an eye. At this time, Liu Li's voice sounded: "Brother Chen, what are you doing?" "I raised my eyes and saw Liu Li and Erdan, and a few of them were here.
Long Chen beckoned them all to sit down, stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, I found evidence that the senior climbed the cliff today, proving that the way out is on that mountain. When Liu Li and the others heard this, they all became excited, and Liu Li said: "Big brother, you just tell us how to prepare." ”
Chen Long said: "Liu Li, if you mobilize your manpower, I need a few bundles of long ropes of at least a few hundred zhang, two wooden mallets, a good bow, a pot of bamboo arrows, a water storage bag and a safety helmet. You see, this is the wedge of the rock that I made. As he spoke, he showed the wooden wedge to the crowd, explaining that it was inserted into the crack of the rock for the foot, and everyone praised it. Erdan, Sandan, Liu Busy, Taohua, and I surveyed the terrain and looked for the most suitable climbing spot. After Chen Long finished ordering, he immediately set off with a few people. Liu Li immediately returned to the village, mobilized all the small-footed old ladies and middle-aged women, prepared a large number of hemp, rattan, kudzu and other items, and began to rub the long rope without mentioning it.
Speaking of Chen Long, who climbed in front of the cliff for many days, he finally determined a suitable route for rock climbing. The wall of the mountain looked slightly lower than the others, and there was a distinct groove and more crevices, which seemed to be easier to climb. However, winter is in full swing, and it is estimated that the climate on the mountain is changeable, and it is too difficult to climb, so the date of rock climbing is set at the time when winter goes to spring.
In the past few days, the Zhang family has been depressed and happy, and Chen Long has realized it, but what he has done is too dangerous, and it is likely that there will be no return, how can he be willing to let the Zhang family take risks together? Therefore, although he was reluctant, he didn't know how to comfort Zhang. It was the winter day in the village, the mountain wind was cold, and Chen Long practiced martial arts day and night. On this day, Chen Long was practicing his gun in front of the thatched hut, and Zhang took a brand-new cotton robe and asked Chen Long to change it into, saying, "Brother Chen, the weather is cold, come into the house to warm your hands." Chen Long gently held the cotton robe with his left hand, his heart warmed, he opened his arms to hug Zhang, and said slowly: "Peach blossom, I... Peach Blossom already knew what Chen Long was going to say, and she couldn't stop her tears all of a sudden, and the pear blossom who cried instantly brought rain, and said loudly: "Brother Chen, you don't need to say it, no matter what the sword is going to be, I just ask Brother Chen to take me by my side." ”
Chen Long couldn't help choking and said: "Peach Blossom, this cliff is dangerous, and I don't know how many jackals, tigers and leopards there are on the mountain, how can I bear to take you on an adventure." Zhang said: "I also know that it will drag down the eldest brother." Big brother, can you teach me light skills? I have learned light skills, so I can naturally avoid danger and avoid evil. When Chen Long thought of Peach Blossom making such a request, he couldn't help but stop talking, staring at Peach Blossom affectionately, only to see the firmness in Peach Blossom's eyes, just like the look in his eyes before crossing with Liu Qian that day. I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, and hugged the peach blossom baby tightly. On this night, the peach blossom was as enthusiastic as fire, and Chen Long was upside down, silently praying in his heart, only wishing that God would arrange that he could conceive Chen Long's flesh and blood. How could Long Chen guess Peach Blossom's thoughts, seeing that Peach Blossom was as enthusiastic as fire, he also tried his best to flatter, this night was extraordinarily beautiful, and the two rolled and rolled until dawn.
Although he did not agree to take Peach Blossom with him, Chen Long handed over the foundation of light skills to Peach Blossom, although Peach Blossom was illiterate, but he was talented and intelligent, but he was busy taking care of Chen Long on weekdays and neglected to practice, so he did not enter the country quickly, and he could only jump over a narrow ditch two or three meters wide for several months in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, the peach blossoms by the water are in full bloom again, and suddenly the village is full of spring, although it is still cold in spring, but it is already very warm under the sun.
On this day, Liu Li and Erdan rushed over, carrying a few rolls of long rope, and Sandan still carried a rucksack. Liu Li shouted outside the house: "Brother Chen, the long rope is ready!" There are thousands of feet. Chen Long quickly walked out of the house, and was overjoyed when he heard the words, and helped Sandan untie his backpack, only to see that there were all kinds of clothes inside, and there was a roll of oilcloth saying that it was for Chen Long to set up a temporary tent to shelter from the rain or something, and the funniest thing was that there was a processed copper basin. Liu Li smiled embarrassedly: "This safety helmet is not easy to find, I have to smash this copper basin into a helmet shape, and the eldest brother will use it." Chen Long knocked on the copper basin and laughed: "It's just used to block the falling rocks on the cliff, since the things are ready, let's set off tomorrow!" As he spoke, he stuffed the wooden wedge he prepared into the rucksack and tightened it, tried the weight, and opened it to throw away some useless things, but a few long ropes were very heavy, and carrying them on the body might affect rock climbing, but the rope belt was less and I was afraid that it would not be enough. Chen Long lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and when he had an idea, he waved his hand to let Liu Li and them go back first, and briefly instructed Zhang: "Peach blossoms, look at the big sturdy basket." "I went to the woods and found a sturdy wooden stake, pulled out the green dragon dagger, and got busy.
After a while, a round wooden pulley was born from Chen Long's hand, and Chen Long proudly spun in his hand. When Peach Blossom saw this novelty, she couldn't help but take it over and play with it, and Chen Long said with a smile: "This is a pulley, and the mountain people have their own wonderful use." Thinking that he could get out of this big cage tomorrow, his heart was excited, and he picked up Peach Blossom horizontally, and Peach Blossom screamed while holding the pulley. Chen Long thought to himself, I have to comfort Peach Blossom tonight, and said softly to Peach Blossom in his arms: "Peach Blossom, once I find a way out and have a place to settle outside the mountain, I will come to pick you up and never break my word." Peach Blossom didn't say a word, but her eyes were bright, and she let Chen Long carry her into the house, and the cabin was infinitely warm for a while. Chen Long couldn't help but be a little surprised that Peach Blossom was so calm in his heart, but everything was forgotten in the warm body friction.
In the early morning, clouds and mist surged, and half of the cliff was surrounded by white clouds, like a fairyland. Several people stood under the predetermined climbing spot, and it was Chen Long and a few others. Although, there are some clouds and fog, but Chen Long doesn't want to wait any longer, after a long conversation with Peach Blossom last night, he believes that Peach Blossom can also wait for his news calmly, so as not to do stupid things. Zhang wore a big robe and carried a large basket, the outfit was a little strange, and the backpack was already stuffed with dry food prepared by Zhang. Chen Long explained to Erdan, he first brought a roll of long rope and some wooden wedges and mallets, climbed up lightly, and after waiting for it, he put down the long rope, and then put the remaining long rope and rucksack in the big basket and knot it on the rope, and then hung the big basket himself.
After explaining, Chen Long and Erdan hugged and said goodbye one by one, and had a chance to meet again after meeting. When he arrived at Peach Blossom, Long Chen's heart ached, and he hugged Peach Blossom and kissed it bitterly. The two of them couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so they didn't turn their heads away. Peach Blossom still didn't say a word, surprisingly didn't shed tears, and finally just said silently: "Ailang cherishes." He turned his head away from Long Chen.
Chen Long wrapped up, put a wooden pulley on his back, touched the Qinglong dagger obediently inserted in the leggings, put on a strange copper basin helmet, ruthlessly, jumped up and buckled a stone crack, and quickly nailed a wooden wedge into the wooden mallet, his body was straight, his toes were lightly on the wooden wedge, and he flew up a few meters, grabbed another stone crack, and so the cycle went back and forth, constantly climbing up, and he really couldn't find the stone crack, so he used the Qinglong dagger to dig one, and the wooden wedge was constantly nailed into the stone crack, as if it was a ladder to the heavens, and slowly supported Chen Long to rise.
Zhang turned around early and looked at Ailang's figure nervously, his beautiful eyes were not for a moment, until the familiar figure slowly disappeared between the clouds and mist, still staring blankly. Erdan sighed, this peach blossom thought it was painfully stupid, the previous peach blossom was not like this.
After waiting for a long time, a long rope finally fell down, and everyone cheered, which means that the eldest brother has successfully climbed the cliff. Zhang tied the big basket tightly at the end of the rope, watched the second egg put the items into the big basket, the big basket waited for a while, and began to rise slowly, and it rose two or three meters in a moment, Zhang suddenly jumped and jumped into the big basket, and the second egg was caught off guard and exclaimed: "Peach blossom!" "I wanted to reach out to stop it, but it was out of reach, but I just opened my mouth and froze in place. Liu Li patted Erdan's shoulder and sighed, "Brother, let her go." The big basket swayed up into the clouds, and a few people were left sighing under the cliff, who would have thought that Zhang's practice of light skills?
Above the clouds and mist, on the edge of the cliff, Chen Long tied the wooden pulley to the fork of a big tree on the edge of the cliff, and was struggling to drag the long rope up, when he suddenly felt that the basket sank, but he didn't know why, he thought it was a falling rock and smashed into the basket, and he didn't care, but he pulled harder. I saw the basket slowly passing through the clouds, and there was one person in the basket, who was the white cloth and the snow, not the peach blossom? Chen Long was so shocked that he almost threw away the rope, but quickly grabbed it and slowed down to pull the big basket up. Pulled the basket and held the peach blossom out steadily, but he couldn't say anything to complain, just hugged the peach blossom tightly and muttered, "It's too dangerous!" It's too dangerous, why do you bother... ”。 The peach blossoms were buried deep in the crook of Chen Long's arms, his beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and he was silent like an orchid. In the heart of the peach blossom, I only wish to fly with wings from now on, and never be separated from Ailang, the two hugged tightly, and only heard the insects and birds beside them, everything was silent.
Since Peach Blossom has come up, Long Chen can't bear to drive her down again, and looking at Peach Blossom's expression, she can't drive her away. So without further ado, the two of them distributed their bags and went to the mountain peak behind the cliff.
