Chapter 307: Swimming Against the Current

But we started to set off as if nothing had happened.

The brocade began to climb towards the cliff, and he led the team first, and then he would throw a rope down to us when he got up.

Because of the disrepair, the weathering on the surface has peeled off, and he almost fell down when he stepped on the weathered stone. Fortunately, his martial arts immediately stabilized his figure. He started to feel like he was climbing on a cliff, and I followed him closely, followed by Cao Kun, and the three of us tied ropes together. After those few trips are fixed in front of him, he advances a few steps, and we can follow a few steps forward. In other words, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, and if we want to fall, all three of us will be crushed.

When Najin Tang climbed to a stronghold very calmly, he would stabilize his position in that place to make sure that he didn't fall, and then lowered his head and gave me an order, "Go." After hearing the command, I then climbed the rock to follow his original route, and at the same time, Cao Kun and I were doing it simultaneously.

We all followed him closely, the soles of his feet were on top of my head all the time, the distance was not very far, it should have been 30 minutes if it was normal, but the most dangerous place for him was that the rock wall was very close to the edge of the cliff. If one is not careful, we still have the best chance of a cliff.

In fact, to put it bluntly, we just made a small turn from the edge of the cliff and went straight to the top floor of the attic. I'm starting to regret making this choice, and it might have been easier to find a path from those osmanthus trees. This is a road to death, but it is a simple and crude road to death.

It's almost around the corner. Na Jintang said in a low voice over my head, "Adjust your breathing and keep a proper distance." Let your hands and feet not be too paralyzed, in our house over the corner, after this corner, you can directly hit the top of the small attic, this corner of the tuyere is a little big, be sure to breathe normally, don't look down. ”

"Good!" I replied that he was a little duplicitous, at this critical moment, people are still an instinct of desire to survive, often the more I don't look at that thing, the more I want to take a look, I secretly glanced down, we are directly equivalent to hanging on the mountainside, looking down, a kind of blood dizziness is filled with oil, because the following is too shocking, my hand can't help but shake a little. I've tried my best to restrain my nervousness.

Through the shaking of the rope, I felt that Cao Kun was no better, and I felt that he was also panting, and his breathing was rapid and short.

Na Jintang also seemed to sense the abnormality of the two of us, he looked down and looked at the two of us, at this time his voice was gentle and calm, and very powerful: "Okay, let's stop for a while and don't move, adjust our breathing neatly, we only need a minute to cross this corner, let me cross the corner, and we will reach the small attic immediately." Now we don't want to get rid of all the complicated things in our heads, just think about going to the small attic right away, maybe there will be a gold tael on it with us. ”

His voice was very encouraging, and I found a trace of strength after listening to it, you said that I can't necessarily hold back at this time, if I am chaotic at this time, then Cao Kun's side will also be complicated. The three of us had to leave together, because the three of us were already tied together, and there was nothing we could do at this time.

I closed my eyes and adjusted my breathing, even though I was still nervous because I was still a little embarrassed by the cliff.

Cao Kun let out a childish cry: "I'm not afraid. "I saw that he was emboldening himself.

I kind of want to laugh to death, I have never seen a formal helper, and he actually wants to cheer for himself in such a childish way, I never expected that at this moment, he is more like a scholar who has read the scriptures of poetry.

It only gave us a very short break, and after a minute of us, we started to get our emotions in order: "Okay, we don't have time now, we have to leave right away, just after this minute." ”

Finally we reached the corner, this corner steamer-like place, only about eight or nine feet wide, deeply sunken in. At the top of the top, a few vines grew out of the cracks in the stone, fluttering like a door curtain. On the opposite side of it, there is a stone ridge for stepping on.

Then the brocade said to us, "We can go through it with the help of these vines." ”

It reminds me of when I was sixteen years old, on the cliff with my cousin chaser, and we had all been through it that year, but looking back, I was even more scared. At that time, the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, and was so focused on running for his life that he did not care about any more fear.

If I had to face it all over again, I would rather choose not to face it again, and this fear is self-evident.

Na Jintang smiled and looked down at me at his feet: "Cat Jiujiu shouldn't be scared anymore, I remember that you saved me because you grabbed the vines." There was a hint of ridicule in his words, and I knew he wanted to relax my mood and comfort Cao Kun at the same time.

Although I was very scared, I couldn't show it, I couldn't influence Cao Kun. In fact, my heart is very entangled, and my hanging heart is even tighter, mainly because I am worried that this vine will be pulled and the consequences of falling will be unimaginable. Just as I hesitated, I heard Cao Kun's shout.

"Then big brother, will the vines not be hard enough, the later one can't support our strength enough, it's too dangerous, isn't it ......"

Na Jintang pulled the tenacity of the vines with his hand, and after getting his confirmation, he comforted Cao Kun: "It doesn't matter much, wait for us to swing over one by one, try to loosen the rope a little first, and I'll swing over first, you one by one, don't worry too much." As long as you are bold and careful, you will be safe. ”

I also jokingly said to Cao Kun: "I think I also played with these vines back then, and it would be good to use it as a swing." "While I was comforting him, I was actually comforting myself, because if we went back the way we came, of course, it would not be impossible, it would consume a lot of time and energy, and Cao Kun must lead us down. It seems that he is not very good at rock climbing, and it may be more dangerous than climbing crutches, so if I choose one of them, I would rather keep going.

Cao Kun replied loudly: "Let's start." Although there was still a slight tremor in his tone, it was not enough to be frightened from the sound of his voice.

Then let's move on to the beginning.

He handed me the spear in his hand, pulled it through the vines, and it seemed to be relatively strong, and then he grabbed the four he chose, and said very sincerely, "I'll be waiting for you over there." He kicked his feet, and his feet quickly left the edge of the wall and hung in the air!

It was very easy to swing over, it seems that even if he is very relaxed, like the mood I was in before, I should be relaxed, and the most important thing is to relax.

I don't need to go through the past like he did, or I probably wouldn't have the courage to follow along. If I procrastinate in this process, it will affect Cao Kun's mood. I must not let him know that I am afraid! In any case, the most critical point lies with me, what are both of them looking at, one with anticipation and the other with questioning.

The last time I heard Cao Kun muttering in a low voice: "It's too dangerous, I can't get through this time......"

I know that he is retreating, and I am determined not to let him go, and if he goes, then all the efforts made today will be in vain, and how I want to see the golden taels look like.

Basically, I didn't hesitate too much time on my own.

Immediately, I also learned the way that the brocade hall did, grabbed the vines, closed my eyes, and bit my lips, knowing that the brocade hall must be waiting for me in front.

Under the encouragement of that Jintang, I held back my strength, seized the opportunity vine, glared at it with my feet, and let it go at one time!

I breathed a sigh in my heart, and I felt like I was going to die for a second, I couldn't imagine why I was able to get by, it was as unpredictable as a dream, and I finally came over, and I had overcome myself again.

This time it was Cao Kun's turn, well, Cao Kun's face was also pale, and he probably didn't want to show too much cowardice. So he coughed to hide his nervousness, and Najin Tang said to him loudly: "As long as you're okay, I can see the small attic right away." ”

Perhaps these three words in the small attic made him feel that he still had this responsibility, and he began to learn from us, dragging four vines in his hands. Maybe it was because he didn't use enough force, the swing of the vine was not large, and part of the vine was renewed, and it was pulled out of the crack of the stone head with a heavy pulling force, and it was very likely to be uprooted, but Cao Kun didn't realize this situation, and my heart was about to jump out of my throat.

Cao Kun is still a man after all, although he has studied since he was a child, he is a real man who grew up in the mountains after all.

Na Jintang did not show excessive nervousness and panic at this time, he said with great sincerity and ease: "Go on!" Hard! ”

Cao Kun was very calm at this time, taking advantage of the inertia of rebounding. He kicked with the force of his feet, and with a "whoosh" sound, he finally managed to swing over, and when he stood firmly on the rock.

Suddenly, at this time, there was a "bang", and the two vines were uprooted and fell straight into the cliff.

He was pale with fright when he saw this scene, if he had been one step too late, then the three of us would have fallen into the cliff together without hesitation, and we would have escaped in the water.

Fortunately for the rest of our lives, the three of us climbed diagonally to the top of the wall, all gasping for breath and resting.

We finally managed to come over, and finally got to this damn corner, and I swear I'm determined that next time I'm not going to climb him again, with a knife on my neck, and I won't think about it.

He glanced at Cao Kun with his spare eyes, there was no blood on his face, there were tears in his eyes, the scene just now was an extremely terrible dream for him, he was short of breath, and he could feel his heart pounding.

I said to Najintang, "When we come down, we must not go from here, and I will not go down from here no matter how much I am given, and even if I get lost on the path, I must go back from the road." I said viciously.

Then I turned to Cao Kun: "But you proposed that we come up from here, and I must find the way back." ”

Cao Kun was completely sweating, and he said very resolutely and affirmatively: "There will never be a turning back." ”
