Chapter 144: Escape
She saw a goat in that cave!
So is this God afraid that she will be hungry on the way to escape, so he sent her dry food?
Lin Jiu and the black goat looked at each other for a long time, and finally she gave up the idea of eating it.
She found a stone on the edge of the platform and threw it down the cliff, and after a while, there was a sound of a stone falling into the water, and the distance to listen to the echo should not be too far, Lin Jiu estimated that the length of the rope should be enough.
And the width of this platform is enough for a few of them to stay, so Lin Jiu untied the rope around his waist and shook it vigorously, just hearing the faint sound of falling water below, Yin Zidu and Chu Linghui rushed directly to the edge of the rope, grabbed the rope with four hands at the same time, and could feel the power of the rope, and the hearts of the two of them relaxed slightly.
After a while, they saw the rope shaking, and everyone confirmed Lin Jiu's safety.
They didn't rub it in, they simply lined up, Yin Zi was an anxious son and had to be the first to go down, Chu Linghui was still worried about the safety of King Jin, if there were more Yin Zi below, it would be safer, so he didn't fight with him.
Yin Zi quickly pulled the rope up and tied it around his waist, recalling Lin Jiu's actions just now, and his figure quickly disappeared on the edge of the cliff.
In a hurry, he fell quickly, and soon came to the platform, until he saw Lin Jiu unscathed, Yin Zidu's heart finally relaxed.
Lin Jiu didn't explain too much to him, just asked him not to delay the time and let the people above hurry down.
When it was the turn of King Jin, Chu Linghui was afraid that the rope would not be able to hold the weight of the two, so he had to tie the rope firmly around his waist, so that A and B two carefully controlled the speed and direction of the rope falling, and Yin Zidu and Lin Jiu responded below.
However, the falling point of the rope was indeed some distance from the platform, and the rock wall was smooth, and the two people below were a little helpless, and they stalemate for a while, and suddenly Lin Jiu turned his head and locked his eyes on the black goat in the cave.
She had just found that the black goat had a long rope tied to its horns, and the black goat, who had been quietly ruminating in the cave, noticed the unkind gaze, and stood up with a spirit, full of vigilance.
But Lin Jiu would not give it a chance to escape, she carefully dodged the black goat's sharp horns, rushed forward in a few steps and struck the black goat's neck with a palm, knocking it unconscious, and then neatly knotted the rope on her feet with her hands and feet.
Lin Jiu, who walked out of the cave with a rope, found another stone that was quite square and tied it to the end of the rope.
She carried the other end of the rope and threw it vigorously in the direction of King Jin, and the end of the stone was wrapped around the hemp rope due to inertia, Lin Jiu took advantage of the situation to exert force in his hand and pulled it back, and King Jin's body also leaned over to the platform.
Yin Zi cooperated properly, reached out and grabbed King Jin's belt, and the two finally put the person on the platform without danger.
After that, the process was much smoother, and Chu Linghui and the three of them descended to the platform safely in turn.
The platform was very hidden, and a few people were relieved, and after a short rest, they began to continue to move towards the lower end of the cliff.
Lin Jiu handed Chu Linghui a small blade and asked him to cut the rope from the top near the edge of the cliff.
Chu Linghui nodded, under the cover of the night, his right wrist shook, and before everyone could see what it was, the other end of the hemp rope quickly fell.
Scooping up the broken hemp rope, Lin Jiu tied it to a raised stone on the platform, pulled it a few times, and after making sure it was safe, he was ready to continue.
However, this time, Yin Zi said that he would not let her take the lead, and seeing this, Lin Jiu did not fight with him, so he gave up his position.
Yin Zi tied the rope and went down the cliff.
As he went deeper, the sound of water in his ears became more obvious, and the vegetation on the cliff wall became richer.
When the rope ran out, Yin Zi looked at his feet, and there was still a height of about a zhang from the ground, but this was not a difficult task for him who had been practicing martial arts for a long time.
He grabbed the branch sticking out of the cliff next to him with one hand, and untied the rope around his waist with the other, but instead of shaking the rope directly, he jumped to the ground first.
Descending to the bottom of the cliff, the moonlight passed through the layers of plants above, and it was already difficult to distinguish things, and Yin Zi couldn't confirm whether it was safe for a while, so he had to go around first.
After walking along the shore for a long distance, he saw no sign of human activity, and then he was relieved. Then he carefully probed the river, and found that it was an underground river, and the river was gushing up from the ground and rushing all the way to the west.
After making sure that the situation below was safe, Yin Zidu returned to his original place, and with a force under his feet, his body bounced onto the cliff, and he borrowed force in the air to jump to the location where he fell just now.
Yin Zi hung his arm on a thick branch, and shook the hemp rope with the other hand for a while, until he saw the rope retracting little by little, then he relaxed his arm and returned to the ground.
The second one to come down was Jia Yi, who saw Yin Zidu when he finished using the rope, so he also hung his body in the air to untie the rope, and shook it a few times before jumping down.
A few people spent some more effort except when King Jin came down, because the plants below were lush and there were many obstacles, and A and B were afraid of hurting him, so they performed light skills all the way up.
When only Chu Linghui and Lin Jiu were left on the platform, Chu Linghui looked back at the black goat that was still unconscious, and asked with some hesitation, "Don't you care about it?" ”
"It's okay, I'm measured, it should wake up in a while, you don't have to worry about it, this guy is amazing, if he can climb up on his own, he will definitely be able to go down."
After speaking, Lin Jiu wrapped the rope around his arm and jumped down neatly.
Chu Linghui was a little helpless, she couldn't resist her, so she had to drag the black goat to the depths of the cave with her horns, and settle it down for a while before returning to the platform and preparing to leave.
Waiting for a few people to meet, Lin Jiu listened to Yin Zidu's description of the surrounding terrain, and thought about it cautiously, although he didn't know where this was, but a place with water would naturally not be a dead place, so he decided to go in the direction of the water flow.
A few people went all the way to the west, and they were lucky not to encounter any wild beasts, until the sky was already white, and they saw a small village.
A and B were a little excited, and they were about to walk into the village with their steps quickened, but Chu Linghui immediately stopped them: "We are all embarrassed, and we are afraid that we will frighten the villagers if we rush forward, so it is better to tidy up a little." ”
The rest of the people also felt justified when they heard this, so they came to the river to wash off the dirt and scratches on their faces, and tidied up some tattered clothes, except for Lin Jiu, who also had a hideous scar on his face, although the others looked a little tattered, but they would not scare people after all.
Lin Jiu simply tore off a piece of cloth on his body to cover the scars.
A few people packed up and walked to the village.
By this time, it was already dawn, and the hard-working villagers had already begun to get up and work. When the group came to the nearest house at the entrance of the village, Chu Linghui grabbed Jia Yi, who was about to buckle the door, and personally stepped forward to talk loudly to the sturdy man who was carrying water in the courtyard.
"Big brother! Can I delay you for a moment? ”
When the sturdy man heard his words, he looked at a few outsiders, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "What is the matter with you?" ”
"That's the case, big brother, our brothers couldn't catch up with the time when the county gate was locked yesterday, but they encountered a gang of thieves who stole our luggage and goods, we chased all the way, and they disappeared halfway with us, and we also got lost, and walked half the night to come here, I don't know where this is?"
The man looked at the pale faces of several people, as well as the unconscious King Jin on the back of Yi Er, so he felt sympathy, put down the bucket in his hand, welcomed several people into the courtyard, and specially set aside a room for them to settle the King of Jin.
