Chapter 59: Climbing the Cliff
Seeing such a peculiar side, in fact, I had long thought about the difficulty of remote areas in my heart, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
"Sister-in-law, how many people still live on the top of this cliff?" Bai Yi couldn't help but ask Sister-in-law Ah Duo.
"There are more than 60 people on the top of the cliff, all of whom are old people and children who are inconvenient to come down. The older one is over 7.80 years old, and the younger one is only 5.6 years old. The sister-in-law heard Bai Yi's question and casually introduced it to him.
"Can't you put them in the next place?" Wang Dahai spoke.
"In fact, those who can come down have come down, and you have also seen how inconvenient it is to go up and down, you just look at it from a distance, and when you get closer, you find that because of the suspension of the air, the mountain wind is very strong, and it is not easy for a person to go up and down, not to mention that you have to take people, and the rattan ladder has to be changed every six months, because you don't know how long it can last. It is not suitable for piling and making iron chains. When the sister-in-law heard Wang Dahai's question, she couldn't help but remember the past, and her eyes turned red instantly.
"That year, it was my father who delivered daily necessities to the people above, because some things were too large to be hung with ropes, so they had to be tied to their bodies with manpower and brought up. Halfway through, due to the mountain wind, the rattan ladder broke. Abba was also carried down the cliff by the mountain wind. "From that day on, we lost contact with the people above for half a month before they lowered the rattan ladder from above.
"Why not use a rope? Isn't that rope next to it pretty good? Is it used to hang things? Wang Dahai asked again.
"If the rope is hung on it and not taken off, it will quickly decay, and if you take it off, you must tie a heavy object to it because of the wind to fall down, otherwise it will not fall at all." The sister-in-law said the reason with red eyes.
"The rope is hung on it because of the mountain wind and humidity, and when it blows, the rope will rub against the cliff face, and the wear is great, and each section of the rattan ladder can be tied with a piece of solid wood to be weighted, so it will look straight." The sister-in-law explained.
"The two sides of the rattan ladder are wound with rattan and solid wood, and the low ones can be stuck on the vines on both sides with solid wood." The sister-in-law told the secret of the rattan chair.
"Sister-in-law, can we go and have a look?" Bai Yi couldn't help but look at the rattan ladder and was stunned, and suddenly came back to his senses and wanted to take a look.
"Nope." The sister-in-law refused directly without thinking about it. Not to mention that Bai Yi and Wang Dahai are outsiders, they have a lot of kindness to their own family alone, how can they let them take risks.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, we are even more desperate for our lives. I just want to go up to see if there are any medicinal herbs, the people on the top of the cliff should rarely pick medicinal herbs for life, so let's go up and find it. Bai Yi said.
"That's not good, what medicinal herbs do you want, let your eldest brother ask someone to find it when the time comes, there is no need to go to such a dangerous place to find it." Sister-in-law Ah Duo insisted on not allowing it.
"Sister-in-law, when the time comes, I will go up, Haizi will not go up, I will just go up to find out if there are any precious medicinal materials." Bai Yi was determined to go up and take a look.
"It's okay if he wants to go up, Ah Duo, you don't need to persuade him, it's useless to persuade him." I don't know when the old village chief on crutches was already standing behind the three of them.
The old village chief looked at Bai Yi, "Little brother, it's okay if you want to go up, but let's talk about the three chapters of the law first, if you think you can't climb up, then come down in time, or let them pull you up, don't be reckless." Dangerous places can't go, and there's no matter what you find, we're going to do half it. The old village chief's eyes burst out with a strong brilliance, as if he was sure that Bai Yi would find something.
Bai Yi shook his head and said, "Whatever I find, I will only take one, and you can't cut it off." Bai Yi also agreed with the old village chief.
"That's nature, and we know how to leave roots for our children and grandchildren." The old village chief looked like a matter of course.
"Okay, without further ado, we'll get over first." After Bai Yi finished speaking, he and Wang Dahai entered the house, put on their backpacks, and walked to the opposite side under the leadership of Sister-in-law Aduo.
"Don't blame the village chief, the village chief just wants to find a better living space for the villagers." Sister-in-law Ah Duo introduced in white clothes on the road.
"I know, the village chief is an old man who lives alone, right?" Bai Yi broke through the barrier in one bite.
"Yes, the village chief has no blood relatives, his grandson fell off the chain bridge when he was in school, his daughter-in-law has long been ill and died, and his son never came back when he went into the mountains to get mountain goods." Sister-in-law Ah Duo was surprised and opened her mouth to explain the situation of the village chief.
"Actually, when we arrived yesterday, I found out that there was a family portrait in the village chief's house, as well as two spirit cards with incense, and four spirit cards with offerings but no incense, which must be the old village chief's family." Bai Yi said the spirit tablet he saw at the village chief's house yesterday.
"Xiaoyi, are you observing so carefully? I didn't even pay attention to it. Wang Dahai opened his mouth and asked Baiyi.
"If you get used to it, you will inevitably be observant." After Bai Yi finished speaking, he didn't open his mouth, and came to the bottom of the cliff until he faced this height, and found that it was estimated to be more than 20 meters high.
Bai Yi put down his backpack and took out the cliff climbing equipment, a pair of safety pants, it is better to say that it is pants than a safety knot composed of three straps.
A large safety buckle, as long as the rope or object does not exceed the buttonhole can pass through it very well, a safety rope is its main component, can be tied to the safety pants, as long as the reaction is timely, the hand will make the safety buckle instantly stuck on the vines, not to mention, the solid wood distance of the feet is not long.
Bai Yi put on a windbreaker, put on a one-piece appearance, and after the inspection, he began to climb, and soon climbed 7.8 meters in front of him, looking a little more than half of the distance.
Bai Yi began to continue climbing, just after the middle distance, the mountain wind instantly became stronger, the oncoming mountain wind made Bai Yi squint his eyes, looking forward to the mountain wind passing quickly, at this time Bai Yi began to regret why he did not wear diving goggles. If you wear it, you can go up against the wind.
The mountain wind didn't seem to stop, and even in the white clothes of the windbreaker, I felt a biting cold in my body, so I had to clench my teeth and grope my way up to climb up.
Bai Yi felt that the mountain wind finally subsided when he should have passed the 16.7 ladder, Bai Yi opened his eyes and looked at the cliff top that was still 5.6 meters away from him, and finally knew why someone had fallen.
In the end, I can only hang in the air and pull my body up with my arm strength. Because there is no place to rely on the figure-7 cliff body, the ladder under the foot is moving, and you can only grasp the ladder above with your hands, and your feet can only go up the stairs.
Bai Yi felt the sharp consumption of his physical strength while going up, looking up at the big brother of Nong Wu who was watching him on the edge of the cliff, Bai Yi gritted his teeth, breathed slowly, and slowly approached the top of the cliff, and finally this 5.6 meters felt more difficult than the more than ten meters in front.
When Bai Yi climbed up, Brother Nong Wu grabbed Bai Yi and pulled it in a little away from the cliff. I'm afraid that the mountain wind will blow and I will accidentally fall down. Bai Yi had to struggle to get up and untie all the security measures one by one, these are the guarantees for himself to go down.
He certainly didn't dare to climb with his bare hands like other villagers. As soon as he finished untying the rope, Bai Yi felt that it was very sudden, and there was something good not far from his feet.
Looking at such a big good thing, Bai Yi felt that it was his own way of opening it, so he quickly closed his eyes, rubbed it with his hand and opened his eyes again, Okay, this chicken blood vine is estimated to be decades old, and it is estimated that this chicken blood vine is worth a lot of money.
Bai Yi didn't care about resting, and ran over with a rolling belt, and carefully discerned it, if it wasn't fake, it would be funny if it was a big blood vine or a blood incense. After careful confirmation, Bai Yi had to sigh. The reason why capital is capital is monopoly is monopoly.
If you don't happen to know that this is a chicken blood vine, it is estimated that no one cares about this old vine, and it may even be cut down to make a rattan ladder.
ps: The chicken blood vine bracelet on the market, everyone who understands it, the growth cycle of chicken blood vine is too long, and the wild one can almost be said to be a non-renewable resource.
