Chapter 12: A Thrilling Encounter

The next day, just after dawn, the group had already arrived at the room where Ngawang Huo had lived*, perhaps because the urge to go home had made them so excited, that everyone was not tired.

Wang Feng took off the portrait of Shakyamuni on the wall and turned on the switch at the foot of the table, a crack appeared in the wall, and the stitches slowly opened, forming a narrow entrance.

"This entrance is very narrow, let's go one by one, everyone must follow closely, don't act alone, all actions are under command." Wang Feng instructed everyone.

Everyone was still immersed in the joy of being able to go home, and they all nodded vigorously at whatever Wang Feng said.

Wang Feng was the first to walk in, and then everyone walked down the stairs at the entrance one by one.

The first part of the staircase was relatively gentle, and everyone didn't have much difficulty walking, and even talked and laughed.

But the further down you go, the stairs get narrower and steeper, and in some places you even go straight down, and the stone stairs seem to hang directly on the cliff wall. The further down you go, the light gets darker and darker, until you can't see what the sides of the stone stairs look like.

"It's too dark, let's light the torches!" Tian Tian said to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng lit the torches, and they saw the appearance of both sides clearly. There are cliffs on both sides, and the bottomless depth makes people shudder to see, and their walking legs begin to tremble.

Yang Li glanced to the side and cried out in fright, her cry echoed over and over again at the bottom of the cliff, like the voice of a ghost, which made people panic.

"Alright, don't you cry, don't you hear the echo from the bottom of the cliff? Weird and scary. Tian Tian said to Yang Li.

"What's the matter, do you want to care if I cry?" Yang Li cried even louder.

"It's not that I'm going to take care of you, but you can't hear it yourself? Aren't you scared when you hear it? Tian Tian said.

"Okay, don't cry. In such a quiet place, I can hear you crying alone. The stone also said.

"Don't talk, this road is very dangerous, everyone must pay attention to safety, concentrate, and keep an eye on your feet." Wang Feng said.

Yang Li stopped crying and cautiously followed behind everyone.

I finally walked to a relatively flat place, and there was a small piece of flat land next to it.

"I'm so tired, let's take a break here, my legs are about to break." Yang Li said.

Wang Feng glanced at Yang Li, her leg was injured, and it was really difficult to walk, so he said: "Okay, everyone is tired, let's take a rest here, everyone drink saliva, don't run around, and don't move." ”

Everyone was so tired that they couldn't care about anything, they all sat on the ground, drank water, beat their legs, and just came down from the cliff in fear, and now their nerves finally didn't have to jump so tightly.

Yang Li also sat on the ground to rest, her husband also sat down next to her, as soon as his buttocks hit the ground, Yang Li yelled at him: "You get up, don't be stunned, help me look at my legs, I feel a little pain in the wound!" ”

"Maybe it's because I walked too much just now!" Her husband said.

"You can help me take it apart." Yang Li said again.

"Why do you want to dismantle this bandage, don't be hypocritical, let me take a break!" Her husband began to get impatient, and along the way, he supported Yang Li and carried the luggage of two people, and he was really tired.

"What's the matter, you're getting impatient for you to help me look at the wound? You don't care about me so much? Yang Li said loudly.

"That's not what I meant." His husband wanted to explain again, but when the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he didn't bother to bother with her, "Forget it, I'll help you take a look!" ”

He knelt on the ground and carefully untied the gauze wrapped around Yang Li's leg to bandage the wound layer by layer, and some pink blood was faintly oozing out of the inner layer.

"The wound is recovering well and is fine, but it may be due to the straining of the walking just now, and the wound is slightly bleeding. It's okay, I'll help you clean and disinfect it! You stay still, I'll go to Wang Feng to borrow a disinfectant potion. ”

After speaking, the stone went in the direction of Wang Feng.

Yang Li sat on the ground and looked around, and suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a small lone flower blooming on the ground a few meters away.

Yang Li dragged her bloodstained legs and came to Xiaohua, she squatted on the ground and carefully observed the flower.

It was a leafless flower, only a white flower growing alone on the ground, it had only a round petal around the stamen, but the petals did not seem to be fully blooming, and rolled slightly towards the middle stamen, which was densely intertwined with filaments as thin as hair, and they were suppressed by the outer petals, curled up in the middle stamen, like bound tentacles.

Yang Li has never seen such a flower, she has never seen it in her life, she has never seen it on TV and magazines, and she doesn't know the name and origin of this flower. She was full of curiosity, thinking that the people around this flower must not know her, and if she could bring it back to show them, wouldn't it be very embarrassing! Thinking about it, she reached out to take it off.

"Don't move!"

A voice suddenly stopped her. She looked back and saw that it was Wang Feng, who was walking towards her with the stone with the disinfectant potion in his hand.

"Why are you here?" Yang Li asked.

With that, she stood up. At this time, the blood on her leg accidentally rubbed against the white petals. But as soon as the blood touched the petals, it disappeared immediately, and Yang Li didn't notice it.

"I borrowed the antiseptic potion from him and said your wound was bleeding, and he said he came to see you." Stone said.

"No need, it's almost fine, it's just a little bit of blood, don't worry, it's not in the way, it won't drag you down." Yang Li said.

"I didn't mean that, I just came over to see you." Wang Feng replied.

"Oh yes, thank you for your concern!" Yang Li said embarrassedly.

"When resting, you should rest more and move less, which is conducive to the recovery of the wound. Also, don't mess around with anything in there. Wang Feng said, glancing at the small white flowers.

"It's just a flower!" Yang Li said.

"It's really just a flower, but have you ever thought about how there are flowers when there is no grass here, you can't see a little greenery, and there is not even a root grass! And there is almost no sunlight on these sides, and this flower doesn't even have leaves, don't you think it's strange? ”

"But isn't it growing here?"

"So, isn't it weird?"

"Perhaps, it's tenacious enough!" Yang Li said.

She didn't want to argue with Wang Feng anymore, she knew that Wang Feng was cautious and would definitely not agree to her picking flowers, so she followed them to the stone and sat down and began to treat the wound.

Wang Feng wiped off the oozing blood for Yang Li with disinfectant potion, and then wrapped the wound with new gauze.

"Okay, it's not a big deal, you remember to be careful, just move lightly, lest the wound crack open again." Wang Feng instructed.

"Okay, thank you!" Stone said.

Then, Wang Feng left, and Shi sat down next to him, ready to rest for a while.

Yang Li still remembered that little flower, she thought that Wang Feng was right, that flower could bloom in such a peculiar place, it must not be an ordinary flower. Maybe this flower will be a priceless treasure, and she will become the first person in the world to discover it, which is a show off! The thought of this aroused her curiosity even more, and she thought that she must bring the flower back.

So, the stone that had just sat down was called up by Yang Li again.

"What are you doing? My ass isn't hot yet! "He's really angry.

"Turn around and go to the big rock." Yang Li pointed to a big stone in front of her and said.

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything, just go there and turn your back to me, I'm going to make it easier now, you can't look at me." Yang Li said.

"It's convenient for you, I just close my eyes and don't look at you."

"No, not only can't you watch, you have to go there and give me the wind, don't let anyone else come."

"Day by day, it's a lot!" The stone got up impatiently and walked over to the big stone.

Yang Li saw that the stone had already reached the big stone and was standing with her back to her, so she quickly ran to the white flower, and quickly folded the flower off with lightning speed and put it in her trouser pocket.

They continued on their way, and had just walked a short flat road, and before they could guess what the road would be, they were approached by an even more terrifying journey.

They walked to the edge of the real cliff, and there was also a cliff on the opposite side, the valley between the two cliffs was dark and bottomless, Wang Feng threw a large stone down, there was no sound at all, and if a person fell, he didn't even have time to call for help. The only thing that connects the two cliffs is a wooden bridge without handrails that crumbles in the air.

"There is no road ahead, and now we have to walk over this wooden bridge." Wang Feng said to everyone.

"From here? Are you sure? As a man, the mouse also trembled when he saw this wooden bridge.

"Can you find any other way?" Wang Feng asked.

The mouse stopped talking, and everyone stopped talking, and they were all scared, but there was nothing else they could do.

"Two choices, either go through here, or be stuck here and never get out." Wang Feng said again.

"But this bridge doesn't have handrails, isn't it too dangerous for us to walk across it like this? In case one of the feet slips, then go straight down to see Marx. Tian Tian looked at the bottomless cliff and said.

Wang Feng stepped on the bridge cautiously, and only took two steps forward, and the bridge began to shake because of the imbalance, and he quickly retreated.

"We can't go straight like this, we have to think of other ways." He said to everyone.

"Yes, since we can't walk over, we can try to climb over it slowly, put our body on the bridge, as long as we take it slowly and keep our balance, the bridge won't shake too much." Xu Shun said.

"But it's still too dangerous, can you make sure you'll be able to hold on to the bridge when it's shaking?" Tian Tian asked.

"I have a way." Wang Feng said, "Everyone took out all the ropes in their bags. ”

"All? What do you want to do with so much rope? Xu Shun asked.

"You'll find out in a moment." Wang Feng said.

They took out all the ropes.

"Now we're going to tie all these ropes together and make one long rope." Wang Feng said.

Everyone started moving, and soon the ropes were connected.

"And then?" Tian Tian asked.

"Now we tie this rope around everyone's waist one by one, like a string of sugar gourds, and string each of us together with a rope." Wang Feng said.

Then he said: "If you go by alone, because the weight is too light, the bridge will easily shake, so we have to go over together, and crawl over with our bodies attached to the bridge deck, so that the stress area will increase, and the bridge can be pressed by more people, so that it will not shake too much." But be sure to tie the rope around your waist for more safety. ”

Xu Shun asked, "What about you?" ”

Wang Feng continued: "I'll go over first in a while. I'll go first, you go second, but you have to be far enough away from me that the length of the rope between us is enough, at least longer than the length of this bridge. I'll go before you can come. ”

So saying, he walked to a huge stone beside him, pointed to it, and said to everyone:

"Did you see that? There are big rocks like this here and there, and I'll tie the front end of the rope around my waist later, and then tie the second one at a long enough distance from me, and then you can follow one by one. After everyone has tied themselves, we tie the end of the rope to the boulder, and leave enough length of the rope between the last man and the stone, at least longer than the length of the bridge, otherwise we will not be able to reach the other side in a while. When everything is ready, don't go yet, I'll go there alone, and if I accidentally fall, you can pull me up. But don't worry, I'll take my time and be fine. After I pass, I will untie the rope on my body and tie it to the boulder on the opposite side, and then Xu Shun, you can start walking again, and you can follow later, so that when you come over, you can grab the rope that I tied to the opposite stone, so that it will be much easier. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, you go over first, tie the rope to the opposite side, the middle of the rope is tied to us, and this end of the rope is tied to this side, so that we won't fall, and when you come, you can also pull the rope you are tethering, which is equivalent to double insurance." Xu Shun said.

"That's right, that's what it means." Wang Feng said.

Then everyone started to act.

Wang Feng slowly climbed onto the bridge and lay down. There was nothing to grasp on the bridge deck, so he took out two daggers, one in one hand, and every two steps he stuck the dagger in the gap in the bridge deck, and then slowly moved forward little by little with the dagger in his hand, and in the fear of everyone, he finally reached the opposite bank.

Everyone's hearts hanging in their throats finally let go.

Wang Feng came to the side of the boulder, quickly untied the rope on his body, and tied it firmly.

"Alright, now you can come over, you have to be slow!" Wang Feng shouted at them on the other side.

So, everyone went on the bridge one by one, holding the rope of the bridge deck tightly in their hands, and everyone moved forward cautiously step by step. With everyone's caution, we finally arrived at the other side safely.

Everyone untied the ropes on their bodies and prepared to continue walking. Yang Li bent down and rubbed her legs, with a slightly uncomfortable expression. Seeing this, Wang Feng ran over and asked her, "What's wrong with you, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, maybe I broke the wound again when I crossed the bridge just now." Yang Li rubbed her legs and said.

"Can you walk, then? Would you like to take a break and check the wound? Wang Feng asked.

"No, it may just be a little bit of skin, it's not in the way, I can walk without a problem." Saying that, Yang Li took two steps forward, and there was really no problem.

"If it's all right, we'll keep going." Wang Feng said.

"Let's go, it's okay, I'll just hold her up." Stone said.

The group began to set off again.

Not long after they walked on, they came to a stone staircase that curled down noticeably narrower.

This road is difficult to walk, some places are so narrow that you can only put down one foot, some places are pressed by boulders overhead, and you can't straighten your body, so you can only bend forward, and some places are so steep that you can only move at a 90-degree angle, and down is an abyss.

Everyone raised their hearts to their throats again, Tian Tian didn't dare to look down, and his legs trembled when he looked at them.

Yang Li was even more frightened and cried, crying and said, "I knew it was like this, I would rather not come out." Her legs trembled.

"Don't be too nervous, relax, don't look down, just stare at the road under your feet, and if there are stones next to you that you can grasp, just grasp a little bit, and pay attention to safety." Wang Feng shouted at everyone.

In a tense and cautious atmosphere, they carefully moved forward step by step.

Suddenly, Xu Shun shouted......

It turned out that the stone he stepped on with one foot was loose and rolled down, and Xu Shun also stepped on the air, seeing that the whole person was about to fall......

It was too late, it was too late, and Abu, who was following him, pounced, and one of his hands quickly grabbed one of Xu Shun's hands.

Because there was no place for his feet to step on, Xu Shun's whole body was suspended in the air and fell quickly, Abu just grabbed Xu Shun with one hand, and due to the disparity in strength, Abu who was lying on the ground was also dragged directly to the edge of the cliff by Xu Shun, who was falling quickly.

Seeing that the two of them were about to fall, Abu quickly climbed a large rock next to him with his other hand. At the same time, he cried out for help.

Due to the weight of the fall, the stone that Abu's hand was holding on gradually began to loosen.

Xu Shun saw that the soil next to the stone was beginning to crack, and he shouted to Abu:

"Abu...... Let it go...... You're going to fall! ”

"Don't let it go...... You're holding on! ”

Abu continued to climb the stone with one hand and grabbed Xu Shun with the other, and he used all his strength to try to pull Xu Shun up.

Wang Feng and Mouse, who were walking in front, heard Abu's call for help, and they hurriedly ran back.

"Hold on, we'll be right away!" Wang Feng shouted loudly.

Abu exerted all his strength, grinning his teeth and exposing his green muscles, but he still couldn't pull Xu Shun up. On the contrary, they keep falling little by little.

"Let it go, Abu, or we'll both fall. The stone is starting to loosen, you hurry up and let go! Xu Shun yelled at Abu.

"I ...... No...... Let go ......" Abu grabbed Xu Shun's hand stubbornly.

The crack next to the stone was getting bigger and bigger, and I saw that the stone was about to roll off.

At this moment, the mouse pounced and grabbed Abu's leg.

At this moment, the stone rolled down, rolling down from Xu Shun's side, making his heart tremble!

Wang Feng, who was following closely, hurriedly grabbed the mouse behind him.

The others also rushed over when they heard the cries for help.

Everyone worked together and finally pulled Xu Shun up! They all sat on the ground, gasping for air.

"It was so dangerous just now, I thought I was going to die." Xu Shun, who escaped death, was frightened.

He turned to Abu next to him and said, "Abu, thank you!" If it weren't for you, I would have fallen long ago. ”

"You're welcome, protecting you is what I should do, and it's my honor." Abu also treated Xu Shun as a worker*.

"Although, I don't like it when you treat me like a living*, but I still want to thank you!"

"Whether you live or not, I'm going to save you." Abu didn't even think about it, and blurted out.

"Well, I knew you would!" Xu Shun looked at Abu, and he believed that the moment Abu saved him, it must not be because he was alive*.

At this time, he realized that when he dragged Abu down quickly just now, Abu's arms and waist had been deeply bloodstained by the small stones on the ground.

"Your injuries, are you alright?" He looked at Abu and asked.

"It's okay, it's just a small scrape." Abu quickly straightened his clothes and covered his wounds.

"Wait, I'll get you some medicine."

After speaking, he got up and walked towards Wang Feng.

After a while, he returned to Abu with the disinfectant potion.

"I'll wipe it for you!" He motioned for Abu to lift up his clothes.

"How can this be, I should have taken care of you, or I should have come by myself!" Abu said embarrassedly.

"Abu, you are not obligated to take care of me, you should take care of yourself first, there is no one who should do anything for whom." Xu Shun said to Abu.

"But...... Okay......" Abu didn't know what to say, he knew that if he continued, Xu Shun would definitely be angry, so he stopped.

"I'll take care of myself in the future," and then, after a moment's thought, he said, "I'll take care of everyone too." ”

"We'll all take care of you, too." Xu Shun looked at Abu, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

After this thrilling moment, everyone has become more cautious. Although they were scared, they encouraged each other and moved forward step by step.
