Snow Ridge Lost Chapter 33 Enter the Ancient City

The phone is ordinary, and the moment I notice it, the screen goes off. I reached for my phone and pressed it a few times, but the screen didn't continue to light up.

After some research, I found out that the phone is not out of battery, but set to automatically shut down. When I opened it again, I found that the content in the phone was very clean, and there was no software. The sudden ringtone is not an incoming call, but a set alarm.

There are a total of six alarms, one every four hours. In such a setup, as long as you are not very unlucky, you can bump into one of the alarms. The phone itself should be turned off, and it will automatically turn on when the alarm time is up. Similarly, after 10 minutes of setting the alarm, the phone will automatically turn off again.

This setting is quite ingenious, the phone is an old-fashioned, which itself is very power-efficient, plus the shutdown time of the setting, it can last for at least a month. This also made me even more confirmed that this was the clue that my brother left me.

But again, the question arises, how is he sure that I will definitely come here. It was a complete accident that I came here, and there was no connection between the two at all. No, neither. Think about it, I came here because of Jiang Huai and this fat man.

Could it be that he already knew that the fake Jiang Huai's group of people would lie to me, but what was his purpose. It was so chaotic that I couldn't sort out my thoughts at all. Just when I was about to see what information was in my phone, the fat man on my side suddenly pinched me, and I turned my head to see the fat man squeezing my eyes again, and kept glancing at Xue Ning.

In an instant, I understood what the fat man meant, he didn't want Xue Ning to see it, but I also knew that the fat man did not distrust Xue Ning's identity.

I took advantage of the situation to make up a random statement that this was someone's phone, and I prevaricated. Xue Ning didn't seem suspicious, maybe he also found out that it was just a false alarm.

I snuck my phone into my pocket, ready to look for a chance to look at it later. The equipment continued to be packed, and we also found a military compass, as well as a GPS of the kind that Xue Ning had taken before.

After a little rest, I set off in the direction of the ancient city. The oppressive feeling in the woods here disappeared a lot, and we walked through the waist-down weeds, revealing a large expanse of the sky from the canopy of trees overhead. According to the barometer on the military compass, it is about 1,200 meters above sea level.

It was already half an hour after we got under the city wall, and it was difficult to walk in the grass, so we also deliberately looked to see if there were any traces of people walking, but we didn't find it.

When they reached the base of the city wall, they did not find the gates. Maybe the city gate was not opened here, so I had to walk along the wall that was more than 20 meters high.

After advancing about 100 meters, he heard an exclamation from inside the tall city wall. We stood still for a few moments, and then we listened, and after four or five sounds, there was no sound.

"Someone is calling." Xue Ning said tremblingly beside us.

"I'm not deaf, I hear you." The fat man tried to retreat after speaking, but he could only see the edge of the city wall.

The scream sounded nothing to me at first, but after two or three times I noticed something familiar. In a moment I realized that it was Rabbah's voice.

They probably remembered what I said, and the expressions on their faces seemed to think it was Raba.

The fat man took a sip and said, "Why did he run inside, it seems that this guy is really crazy." ”

Now that we learned that Rabah was in the city, we hurried on to find the entrance to the city. But the next walk, until noon, did not find the entrance.

The fat man was already a little annoyed: "Why the hell is there no door?" As he spoke, he kicked the stone walls.

I also think it's weird, under normal circumstances, there should be a city gate in each direction. Judging from the scale of the ancient city seen on the porcelain kiln at that time, we have already made at least a quarter of the distance, and there is no reason why there will not be no door.

"Can't be walking, it looks like we're going to have to go over the wall." The fat man looked overhead, and at this time the sun was at its highest, and it was already noon. It is estimated that it will get dark when you go on like this.

But as soon as I looked at the twenty-odd meters of the city wall, I made a mistake, I looked at the city wall and laughed twice and asked the fat man: "Are you going to fly up, or are we going to throw you up." ”

The fat man gave me a blank look, and took out a bundle of rope from his bag, about a centimeter thick, and he took the rope and dangled it twice in front of me.

The rope is there, but another problem comes out, we don't have a hook, it would be fine if we were going from the top down, but now we have to go up, and the rope alone is still useless.

The fat man said that you don't have to worry about this, and the rest is up to him. Sure enough, we watched after that, this "fool" threw ropes under the city walls for half an hour. He was also tired for a long time, and every time the rope at the end of the rope fell off when it was about to touch the protrusion on the wall.

I saw the fat man sitting on the ground resting, so I picked up the rope and tried to throw it up, but later I realized that it was not what I imagined it to be. No matter how bad the fat man was, he was only an arm's length away from putting on the bulge of the city wall, and I only threw it up six or seven meters at most.

In the end, the fat man was forced to use the same method that he was unwilling to do in the first place. He tied a stone the size of a kettle to the end of the rope, and with a loud roar threw the stone to which the rope was attached, and the stone took the rope in a circle at the protrusion of the wall.

This method works well, but the security is extremely poor. Because it can only be regarded as a ride on it, it is very likely that it will be detached because the lower end is too stressed.

The fat man tried, and after a few times, he found that he didn't pull it off, so he naturally didn't dare to be the first to go up. I'm also sure that the force above will never be able to support the weight of a fat man.

I don't know when this kind of adventure or head-scratching work has fallen on me. It took a lot of training to climb the rope, and I didn't think I could go straight up like I did in the movies.

The fat man found a thick stick, about half the length of my arm, and he tried it at his feet, and when he found it strong, he handed it to me and taught me how to use it to climb the rope.

The stick is wrapped around the rope of climbing, it is a live buckle, as long as he is forced, he will be tied very tightly by the rope, and the rope will be easy to take off as soon as it is loosened, I wrapped it around the rope with my feet, so that the foot is forced, the stick in my hand can be moved up for a while, and then I use the stick in my hand to borrow force, and the foot is moved up, as long as I keep repeating this action, I am easier than climbing up with my bare hands.

After climbing seven or eight meters in this way, I was still out of breath, thinking that I would have to exercise hard after I went back, but I felt that it would be easier not to come to this kind of place in the future.

I stopped at a position of seven or eight meters to rest, and the rope was still very strong as far as it felt right now. Just because of the trembling, the shaking amplitude is very large.

"Hurry up, I have you this time, and I've already gone up and down twice." The fat man is stuck in his waist below, and he really doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks. I really wanted to take a stone from the wall and kill him.

I ignored him, and my physical strength had been exhausted a lot, so I had to climb half a meter to rest for two minutes. The fat man has been urging down there.

Just three or four meters away from the top of the city wall, I was already sweating like rain, and the hand holding the short stick was already trembling uncontrollably, and from time to time a lizard or strange-looking insect poked out of the crack in the city wall, which made me tremble, but I didn't dare to make much movement, and at this height, I could already hear the sound of the friction between the rope above my head and the protrusion of the city wall.

I knew that there were sometimes friction-resistant silk threads in this rope, but my heart was still pounding. The fat man was also annoyed, and when I looked down, I found that he and Xue Ning were sitting on the side and no longer looked at me. My position is not very high, but my legs are still weak when I look at the ground.

After almost an hour, I climbed to the top of the city wall, which was wide enough for two large trucks to walk side by side, and there was a low wall on the edge of the city, so I couldn't see the inside.

The walls of the city were full of weeds growing out of the cracks in the stones, and the low walls were collapsing one by one, looking dilapidated, and I secretly estimated that this would have been abandoned for a thousand years.

I squatted on the low wall by the wall, and I was in no hurry to tie the rope up. climbed to a height of more than 20 meters, and almost didn't lose his breath. He gasped for breath, and what he saw in both eyes was distorting.

After a long time of relief, I went to tie the rope, and when I saw the rope stuck on the protrusion of the city wall, I instantly had beads of sweat the size of beans on my forehead, and my feet were weak, and I was afraid for a while.

The rope that had been stuck by the stone was about to be untied within two fingers. If I had just shaken the rope twice, I would probably be crippled if I hadn't fallen to my death.

The rope was tied to the bulge on the edge of the wall, and I tried a few times and it was strong. The fat man was the first to climb up, and because he didn't have the equipment to climb the rope, he had to find a stick and climb up the way he had taught me.

Xue Ning naturally had no way to come up on his own, so we had to let him carry the equipment up first, and then let him tie himself with a rope, and then we pulled it up. When Xue Ning was caught by us, he shouted several times to stop, and his soul was scared away.

The fat man had no hidden knife, so he had to use the stick he had picked up to remove the weeds on the city wall, which were so vigorous that their thick stems propped up the large stones that had been laid flat. We passed through the over-the-shoulder grass on the walls and came to the side of the city.
