147 Mirror Lake
Originally, my idea was just to climb up to confirm Zhu Xu's injury, but after thinking about it again, I decided to risk carrying him off the cliff myself. I threw my backpack off the cliff first, and I didn't need anything inside.
Han Jie and Li Ting kept looking at me from below, and when they saw that I suddenly dropped my backpack, they were startled. Han Jie was very worried about me and kept shouting for me to go down first. I shouted at them, "I'm fine, don't worry!" ”
Zhu Xu's posture at this time was to lie on his back on the trunk of the cliff tree, and I climbed the tree and turned my back to him. Zhu Xu is also carrying a large backpack, I have just checked, and the strap of the backpack is still very strong. I put one of my hands through the strap on his chest, then under his creaky socket and put his hand on my shoulder, and then I put my other hand through in the same way. In this way, it became me and Zhu Xu carrying the same backpack, and his two soft hands were on my shoulders.
After preparing this posture of carrying the person, I took a deep breath, adjusted my breathing, and then sat up suddenly, and humped Zhu Xu's whole person onto my back. Then, with brute force, I climbed the vines and trunks to the side of the steep slope.
At this point, it's a little less difficult. I almost got on my stomach on the steep slope, relying on the strength of my arms and the friction of my body against the ground. The steep slope of ten meters took me almost ten minutes before I finally carried Zhu Xu to the bottom of the cliff. By this time, my clothes were covered with mud, and several places were worn out, and my face was unfortunately marked with blood from the grass stalks.
Han Jie and Li Ting hurriedly ran over to help me put Zhu Xu on the ground and lie down. Zhu Xu's consciousness was still very vague, but the bleeding from the wound on his foot had been significantly reduced. Li Ting took out the water and fed it to Zhu Xu a few bites, I was too tired to do it, so I drank the water when I sat down, and ate all the dry food left in the backpack.
At this time, Han Jie came to discuss with me and asked me what to do next? Do you want to return immediately?
I looked at the time, and although it was only five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was long lost in the valley and the light was rapidly dimming. I said to Han Jie: "If we go back the same way from now on, then we have to climb to the top of the mountain first and then go down the mountain." If you look at a few of us, our physical strength is almost overdrawn, and we have drunk all the water, so we can't go this far. If you are walking around the valley, you are afraid of getting lost in this back mountain. So, I'm afraid we'll have to stay here tonight and wait for help. ”
"Stay in this forest for the night?" Li Ting looked very panicked, and she said, "At night, will all the beasts of this forest come out?" Besides, Zhu Xu has to be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately! ”
I explained to her, "There's no way around it. Now it was already difficult for the three of us to get out on our own, not to mention a wounded man who was unconscious. I have checked Zhu Xu's condition, and I have preliminarily helped him stop the bleeding from the wound on his foot, and it should not be life-threatening in a short time. Therefore, the most rational choice for us now is to stay where we are and wait for rescue. ”
Although Han Jie also agreed with my proposal, as the surrounding environment became darker and darker, and the sounds of various animals in the forest seemed to become more frequent, she couldn't help but be afraid. I rested for a while, feeling a little stronger, and said to the two of them, "It is not safe to spend the night in this wood, so why don't we walk a little more and spend the night by the lake." There is clean fresh water, a wider view, and a few large rocks. It is safer for us to rest on the rocks than to stay in the woods. ”
Han Jie and Li Ting both agreed. So, I carried Zhu Xu on my back again, supported by Han Jie and Li Ting, and slowly walked to the lake step by step. If Zhu Xu behind me came to my senses at this time and saw that I finally arrived at this lake in this way, after paying such a big price, I wonder if he would feel very ironic?
In the evening, the lake is no longer beautiful in the daytime, and all that remains is the silhouette of various trees and stones, and the eyes are gray. At this time, we no longer have the leisure and elegance to enjoy the scenery, and it is almost the limit to be able to drag our exhausted bodies to hold on here. I carried Zhu Xu to the largest rock by the lake and let him lie down. As soon as I lifted the weight from my body, I felt a bout of collapse, and I fell onto the stone, panting on all sides.
It's also thanks to the Yin Gong that I have cultivated for two years, and my current physical fitness is really not covered, otherwise after such a toss, my physical strength will not be able to withstand it at all. Han Jie and Li Ting were also tired, they used up their last bit of strength to climb the stone, and they couldn't care about maintaining any image anymore, and all four of them were lying on it and standing up.
I didn't know how long I lay down before I woke up, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a sky full of stars in the night sky. The crescent moon was not as bright as it was when it was full, but it was still dazzling in the darkness of the valley. When I woke up, I felt a parchment in my mouth, so I found two empty bottles of mineral water, struggled to climb down the big rock, and walked to the small waterfall to drink.
It is said to be a small waterfall, but in fact, it is a small stream flowing down the steep slope on the other cliff, and there is no splashing and surging water, nor is there a deafening momentum, but only the beating water flow and the crisp sound of the water, which is very lively and unrestrained. The water in the waterfall is clear, cool, and has the most pristine taste of nature. I drank my water, washed my face, and took two more bottles of mineral water back with me.
When I climbed back on the big rock, Han Jie also woke up, sat up, took my water and drank it. Li Ting was still sleeping, snuggling tightly up to Zhu Xu's side. I couldn't help but think, "The so-called adversity sees the truth!" Although Zhu Xu is a relatively two-person person, his marriage is still good, and he can find such a girlfriend who loves him. ”
Han Jie drank the water, wiped her face, took out the makeup mirror in her backpack and began to tidy up her makeup. I leaned over to her and watched as she carefully removed the mud and weeds from her head and face.
I laughed and said, "It's all over now, you still care about this?" ”
Han Jie pouted and said, "You really don't understand a girl's mind." Even in a difficult environment, as long as the face remains beautiful, the mood will feel the same! ”
When I saw what she said interestingly, I couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek. After Han Jie finished looking in the mirror, she also leaned on my shoulder and hugged my waist. Two people sit side by side, snuggling up to each other. The lake in front of her is as clear as a mirror, just like Han Jie's small mirror, reflecting the crescent moon in the sky, which is also a very beautiful scenery at this time. I see it in my eyes, and sweetness in my heart.
