Chapter 22 Doom is inevitable

I only now feel that these dried corpses hanging from the cliff are used to feed those "hair", but it is too late, and the hair that comes out of the eyes and mouth of the dried corpses is right in front of my eyes. In the face of clumps of hair that seemed to be squirming slightly, I couldn't be indifferent, and my body moved, trying to dodge.

But as soon as I moved, the dried corpse in my arms could no longer bear my weight, and with a click, it fell directly out of the rope, and I lost the place where I borrowed strength, and I fell with it.

Below was a valley at least twenty meters deep, and my body was in free fall again, but luckily I wrapped the rope around the steel drill on the cliff twice, and my hands held on to the rope tightly.

The distance of twenty meters is just a short moment, the length of the rope is not enough, when I fell to a height of four or five meters from the valley, my body was slammed, and the steel drill on the cliff was estimated to be unable to support such a strong inertia, and it fell off directly. In this way, all external forces disappeared, and the whole person fell straight to the bottom.

There was a layer of sand in the valley, which had drifted in with the wind in the basin for many years, and when my body fell heavily, I felt that all my internal organs were shattered, and my eyes were dark, and I fainted directly.

I can't tell you how long I fainted, but when I woke up again, I was still lying in place. I struggled to roll over and get up, but as soon as the ankle of my right foot bottomed out, I felt unable to exert my strength, staggered and fell to the ground again.

I hunched over and touched my ankle, which was swollen along with the entire ball of my foot. At first, I thought my ankle was broken, but when I opened my trouser leg, it didn't feel like a broken bone. In the flash of lightning, I remembered that before I fell into the deep valley, the hair-like mass had slipped through the hem of my trousers, and I still felt pain and tingle.

I took out the white medicine spray from my backpack and sprayed a lot of it on my ankles. But it didn't work, the ankles were swollen like turnips, and the skin was about to break, and I couldn't exert any strength, and I couldn't touch the ground.

It may be terrible, but at least I'm alive. I propped myself on the ground with one foot and looked around, the narrow rift was crooked, and I didn't know where the way up was. I threw my head back and shouted at the top of my throat, hoping that Zhang Momo could hear me. But after shouting for a long time and not getting a response, I thought that I had been in a coma below for a long time, and Zhang Momo should have gone to find a way down.

The rift is east-west, either east or west, there is no other choice, I also want to try to take a walk, to find a way, but I am afraid to go with Zhang Momo, this place is already very wrong, if you act alone, and then encounter any trouble, it is really death I don't know how to die. I hesitated and decided to wait where I was, if Zhang Momo could find a way down, then she would definitely come here.

With one limp on one leg, I walked in two directions, and then wrote a lot of writing on the sand, so that if Zhang Momo found nearby, he would be able to see the mark I had left behind.

I waited patiently, but I never felt that time was so long, and every minute and every second was torment. I'm not just worried about whether I can get out alive, I'm more worried about whether Zhang Momo will encounter danger on the way to find it.

A whole day passed, Zhang Momo didn't come, I could only continue to wait, and after waiting for a whole day, she was still nowhere to be seen, although I kept convincing myself to calm down, but my thinking seemed to be uncontrollable, and my mind was like numbness.

I only had a small backpack with me, and I didn't have much food and water for long, and I calculated that I would have to go or die of thirst here if I had to wait another day at most.

Other injuries on the body can be endured, but the swollen ankle is too bad, and the swelling never goes away, and I can't walk. When I waited until noon on the third day, I saw Zhang Momo stumbling from the west side of the rift.

"I'm here! Over here! "I've probably never been so excited in my life as I am now, forgetting everything, standing up and bouncing on one leg to meet it.

Zhang Momo may have been excited, she looked very tired, even a little embarrassed, but when she heard my voice and saw me again, she suddenly raised her speed to the fastest, like a gust of wind through the canyon, and rushed directly over.

When she ran up to me, her eyes seemed to be red, and she reached out and hugged me. I can't talk about any relationship between men and women with her, but in this place, in this environment, seeing each other again, it is like experiencing a cycle of life and death, and I hugged her.

Her hair is usually neatly tied, but now it is fluffy like a nest of weeds, and there are many small abrasions on her face, I remember that I haven't washed my face since we entered Danmeng, but there is a very faint fragrance on her body, which smells very good.

I held her and couldn't see her face, but I could feel that she was in tears.

In the final analysis, she is a person after all, a woman, no matter how cold and arrogant she looks, she is strong, and there is always a very soft piece in her heart.

We hugged for at least four or five minutes, and Zhang Momo slowly let go of her hand, her eyes were red, but she smiled. I have to say, I rarely see her laughing, and the way she laughs is so good-looking.

"I believe you." Zhang Momo straightened my collar for me: "I think people are selfish, greedy for life and afraid of death, if there is a person who would rather die by himself than drag others down, then he must be trustworthy and trustworthy." ”

"I've already stepped into the coffin with one leg, but it's worth it, at least to make you think I'm not at ease."

"Let's go, it's hard over there."

Zhang Momo helped me and walked towards the path she had come. As I thought, she had been looking for her way down from the moment I had fallen into the valley, but the canyon was so long and narrow that she had walked a long way until she found a large stone on the side of the cliff where she could tie the ropes. The rope she had with her was not long enough, and she ran back to the camp in a hurry to get it.

I had difficulty moving, and the two of us walked very slowly, and every now and then we had to stop to rest, and so it was in the evening. Zhang Momo said that the road under the canyon is not easy to walk, and it is absolutely impossible to travel at night, so we stopped in place and waited until dawn the next day.

The supplies were almost consumed, and I was a little anxious, urging Zhang Momo to go faster. After walking for a long time, my eyes froze, and I turned my head to look at Zhang Momo, unable to figure out how she came over.

Not far ahead, there is a fracture zone like a tiger skin cake, full of cracks, occupying the entire bottom of the canyon, and the distance between the cracks and the cracks is basically tens of centimeters, and if you walk on it, you will fall down if you are not careful.

"Be careful, it'll be fine." Zhang Momo helped me and pointed to the front: "This fault zone is about three or four hundred meters, after walking over, the road is easy to walk, and when we get to the place where I left the rope, let's climb up slowly." ”

It's easy to say, but when you really go up, you will know how dangerous this three or four hundred meter fracture belt is. Most of the cracks in the ground are more than one meter or two meters wide, and the place where people can stand and walk is very narrow, and the two of us can't walk side by side, Zhang Momo is holding me in front, and I gritting my teeth and following behind.

"It's almost halfway through, refuel, and it's over quickly." I felt that I didn't have much energy left, but I couldn't drop the chain in the middle of the battle: "Can you hold it?" If you can't hold on, rest and rest. ”

Zhang Momo didn't speak, just walked cautiously in front, and after walking for a while, her pace slowed down a little, and she said without looking back: "Usually when I think about death, I think it's terrible, but when I really die, that's what it is." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to say that sometimes, death is not necessarily a bad thing, at least you don't have to suffer so many sins." Zhang Momo let go of my hand, turned his head and smiled: "Do you think I look good when I laugh?" ”

"It's pretty good."

"Then remember my laughter, if I die, you must get out alive."

"You ......"

I only said one word, Zhang Momo's feet seemed to slip suddenly, the whole person suddenly lost his balance, only forty or fifty centimeters wide road, absolutely not allowed any mistakes, I could only stand on one leg, there was no time to save her, in an instant, Zhang Momo, who lost his balance, turned into a crack almost two meters wide next to him without any suspense.

Although the crack is narrow, it is more than ten meters deep, and Zhang Momo is like a leaf, stumbling on the undulating stone wall, and finally falling to the bottom of the crack.

When she had fallen, she had stopped moving, half of her face pressed against the ground, blood splattering, like a scarlet and monstrous flower blooming in the depths of a deep rift.

I stood on it in a daze, but my heart seemed to sink to the bottom with Zhang Momo, there could be no miracle, she must have been thrown to death.

My thoughts were completely still, and like my body, I didn't feel anything stiff, and there was only one thought left: Zhang Momo was walking well, but she seemed to have a prophetic function, and after saying those few words to me, she stumbled and fell. Was it an accident? Is it a coincidence?

She won't fall for no reason, absolutely not.

After a short pause in my thinking, an indescribable pain followed, and I lay flat on the road only a few tens of centimeters wide, looking at Zhang Momo, who was motionless. The light above my head couldn't fully reach the bottom of the rift, and all I could see was her silhouette and the blood splattering out.

At the moment when the pain was about to swallow me completely, a shadow suddenly flashed at the bottom of the deep rift. I couldn't tell where the shadow came from, but when it appeared, it stopped next to Zhang Momo's corpse and looked up at me.

My eyes were completely wide at this moment, and although the light was dim, I could still see that this ghost-like shadow appeared at the bottom of the rift, and it was the old man Liu we had been looking for.
