Chapter 35: Falling off a cliff
Looking at the dangerous bridge that was constantly shaking in the wind and the wooden planks on the bridge deck were clattering, Yun Xi's eyes were full of hesitation, and he hesitated and didn't dare to move forward.
"Don't be afraid, carefully recall the route they took just now, keep your body balanced, and you will definitely be able to walk through it smoothly!" Luo Hao kept encouraging Yun Xi who was hesitant.
Yun Xi took a deep breath, raised his head to meet Luo Hao's encouraging eyes, and asked, "You'll be looking at me from behind your back, right?" ”
"Don't worry, I'll keep watching you from behind, with me, you'll never be fine!"
Yun Xi nodded, and after glancing at the four teammates on the other side of the cliff who were cheering for her to cheer her up, she took the first difficult step and began to try to cross the bridge.
"Well done, that's it, keep going!" Luo Hao stood on the edge of the cliff and kept cheering for Yunxi.
Stepping on the wooden planks laid on the bridge deck, making a creaking sound, Yun Xi's heart palpitated, for fear that the wooden planks under his feet would suddenly break.
Whew, a gust of mountain wind blew, and the whole bridge was like a lonely boat in a storm, swaying from side to side. The wind blew away the fog under the dangerous bridge, Yun Xi subconsciously glanced down, and the bottomless mountain stream suddenly made her feel a little dizzy.
"Look straight ahead, don't look down, keep your body balanced!" Luo Hao, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, shouted at Yunxi's back.
Yun Xi took a deep breath and continued to move forward. Suddenly, a slight sound of suspected rope breaking came, which made Yun Xi, who had already calmed down his fear, panic again and hesitated to move forward.
"Luo, Luo Hao, is this bridge going to break?" Yun Xi's voice trembled a little and asked Luo Hao behind him.
Luo Hao glanced at the two hemp ropes tied to the cliff stakes, and his face became a little bad.
The average adult man weighs between 130 and 140 catties, and with the weight of the backpack, the total weight of Zhou Bai rises to between 150 and 160 catties. Although Luo Hao has used a single person to cross the bridge to reduce the load of this dangerous bridge as much as possible, the degree of damage to the dangerous bridge has exceeded Luo Hao's expectations, and the continuous passage of four adult men has made the bridge show signs of being overwhelmed, not only the hemp rope has broken wires, but even the wooden stakes have been somewhat loose.
Even if Yunxi could successfully cross this dangerous bridge and reach the other side of the mountain stream, it should be difficult for this bridge to bear the total load of an adult man who is one hundred and eighty centimeters tall and the weight of the backpack behind him.
Fortunately, Yun Xi at this time was facing away from Luo Hao, and he couldn't see the change in the expression on his face. Luo Hao also said to Yun Xi in a calm tone as much as possible: "No, there is no problem with the bridge, it may be that you are afraid of auditory hallucinations, keep your body balanced and continue to move forward." ”
It doesn't matter how long the bridge lasts, at least hold on until Yunxi crosses. Luo Hao said secretly in his heart.
Yun Xi puffed up his chest, looked ahead, and followed the route he remembered the four people in front of him walking. Bang, a sound of rope breaking clearly appeared in Yun Xi's ears, she subconsciously turned her head to look, and found that the rope on her left hand was torn off because she couldn't bear the load.
"Ahh
Yun Xi couldn't bear the fear in her heart, and screamed in shock, and the originally steady pace under her feet became chaotic at this time, and she stepped on the bridge indiscriminately.
Click!
Blessings and disasters are not a single line. Yun Xi stepped on a wooden board that had rotted inside, and the wooden board broke in response, jamming Yun Xi's foot.
Yun Xi grabbed the ropes on both sides of the dangerous bridge with both hands, trying to free her stuck feet, but no matter how hard she tried, her feet never showed any signs of breaking free. On the contrary, because of the shaking of her body, the dangerous bridge shook from side to side even more, the degree of rope breaking was further expanded, and the wooden stakes on the cliff were also crumbling.
"Keep your composure and don't move!" Luo Hao shouted at Yun Xi, "I'll come over and save you now!" ”
In fact, Luo Hao knows better than anyone else in his heart that this bridge is already difficult to bear the weight of two people, Yun Xi alone on the dangerous bridge may be able to hold on to break for a while, and he is likely to break immediately if he walks up now, but it is impossible for him to watch Yun Xi wait for death on the bridge, so he decided to take a gamble.
Crunch!
When Luo Hao's big feet in combat boots stepped on the wooden planks on the bridge deck, the whole bridge let out an overwhelmed moan. Your sister, hold on!
Luo Hao took every step very lightly and carefully, for fear that the bridge would suddenly break if he was not careful, so he moved very slowly, and when he walked to Yun Xi's side, he found that his back was already sweaty.
He slowly crouched down and carefully examined the place where Yun Xi's feet had fallen.
The entire structure of the bridge is built with ropes, and under the wooden planks is a bridge body woven with arm-thick hemp rope, Yun Xi's kick just now was too strong, and after stepping on the plank, his foot was directly stuck in the gap between the rope and the rope. The ropes are all elastic, and after Yun Xi fell into the gap between the ropes with one foot, two hemp ropes were strangled at her ankles, so no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull her feet out.
Luo Hao lifted off the wooden board that had been stepped on, and pulled the hemp rope that was strangled at Yun Xi's ankle with both hands, "Now gently pull your feet out of it, slowly, don't worry." ”
After Yunxi successfully rescued her foot according to Luo Hao's instructions, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief and smiled at him: "Luo Hao, thank you really this time." ”
"You're welcome......"
Just as Luo Hao was about to let Yun Xi hurry up and cross the bridge, he saw that the rope behind Yun Xi that had just begun to break was breaking rapidly, the expression on Luo Hao's face instantly froze, and his eyes narrowed into the most dangerous needle shape!
"Run!"
Bang! This dangerous bridge, which had already borne too much load, finally broke overwhelmed.
Luo Hao and Yun Xi's bodies fell uncontrollably down amid the exclamations of others. Just when Yun Xi was about to fall, Luo Hao quickly grabbed her wrist with his eyes, and grabbed the hemp rope behind him with the other hand, which had remained intact so far, and the few wooden planks that fell under the feet of the two people hit the hard and raised rock, and they became shattered in an instant.
Whew, under the action of gravity, Luo Hao and Yun Xi involuntarily slid down a distance.
Because he didn't wear anti-cut gloves on his hands, the gravity of the two people falling at the same time made Luo Hao's palm in direct contact with the hemp rope instantly worn out, and the blood oozing from the palm slid down his arm.
