Text Volume 1 Survival on a Desert Island_Chapter 8 Weaving a rope

My eyes wandered from the jungle, and after a long while, I said, "Wait for me here, I'll find some vines!" ”

"Hmm!"

I walked into the jungle and this time with good luck, I saw what I wanted.

Not far into the jungle, there is really a relatively huge tree, and the vines hang down from the branches, seven seven or eighty, like a weeping willow.

I don't know what the scientific name of the tree is, but I pulled a vine and looked at it, it was about the thickness of a pencil, and if it was wound together to make a simple twist rope, it should be able to support the weight of my body.

But I didn't have a dagger or anything like that, and it was a problem to break the vines.

Looking around, I could only find a slightly sharper stone.

"Jiaojiao!" I shouted to Bai Jiao outside the jungle, and after a while, Bai Jiao came to me.

I pointed to the trunk and said, "I'll climb up and break some vines with stones, and you'll be pulling down all the time!" ”

"Well, be careful!"

"Hmm!"

I put the sharp stone in my trouser pocket, and I made a point to find another spare one to prevent one accidentally from coming out of my hand.

The diameter of the trunk of this tree is about half an arm's thick, and I grew up in the countryside and my climbing skills are also first-class.

One hand grasps the slightly thicker branch, and the other hand reaches out and strikes hard at the root of the vine.

It took Bai Jiao and me about half an hour to break about twenty vines, each of which was about three or four meters long, which should be barely enough.

When I got off the tree, I was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, but it wasn't time for me to rest.

Bai Jiao and I dragged these vines and sat down beside Jing Ran.

"You're going to climb down with these vines?" Jing Ran, her brows furrowed, obviously she could also see that such a thick vine was not enough to support the weight of more than a hundred catties.

I corrected her statement: "It's me, not us...... Leave this dangerous thing to me, you and Jiaojiao are waiting for me on this! ”

"You're alone, are you sure it's okay?" Bai Jiao asked worriedly.

"It's okay, if you think about it, you must leave someone on it to check the situation of the vines at any time, if it is accidentally broken, how can Sister Ran get it on it alone?"

"It's also ......"

Bai Jiao sighed helplessly.

Jing Ran's face was puzzled, I knew what she wanted to say, so she preemptively said: "It's definitely not so simple to go down, and you have to weave a rope...... Otherwise, if the vine breaks and falls, who will give birth to a monkey with you in the future? ”

The second half of the sentence made Jing Ran have a cold face again, I laughed, and handed a part of the vines to Bai Jiao.

So, we started to weave the rope, and Jing Ran came to help because her hands could still move.

The cliff is about 30 meters, and we have to reserve some length to hold it in, that is, we have to weave a rope of about 32 meters.

There are a total of twenty vines, each of which is four meters, so only two vines can be braided.

The production of hemp rope is very simple, as long as it is entangled with each other, the difficulty is to connect the long rope.

This kind of physical work is naturally handed over to me to do, I like tying shoelaces, the two pieces of hemp rope that have been braided are tied in a dead knot, but because the softness of the vine is not enough, the dead knot is not very dead, so I step on one foot, hold one end of the rope with both hands, and pull it harder, so that it is finally a little tighter.

Before I knew it, it was already dusk, and I squinted and saw that where the sea and the sky met, a red sun lost its violent light during the day, converged its aura, and slowly fell.

A gust of sea breeze blew, and it was finally a little cool.

"We've got to hurry, it's going to be hard when it gets dark!"

"Hmm!"

We all quickened the movements in our hands, including Jing Ran, she is usually pampered, these things are really difficult for her, but she still works very hard, tired and sweaty.

"It's done!"

When I was almost about to tie the last piece of the tie, the joy in my heart came flooding over.

"Jiaojiao, let's drag to the edge of that cliff!"

"Good!"

Bai Jiao and I pulled a section and walked effortlessly to the edge of the cliff. Not to mention, this rope is really heavy, I admire that we can make such a long hemp rope.

Finally came to the edge of the cliff, I found a relatively high protrusion, tied one end of the rope to it, and deliberately circled around to another protrusion half a meter away.

Half a meter away, two rocks protruded, and I tied a lump at one end of the rope and stuffed it in, so as to ensure that this aspect would not fall off, otherwise I would not dare to guarantee that Bai Jiao would be able to pull me up at that time.

Everything is ready, I'm going down.

"Jiaojiao, take care of Sister Ran, don't walk around before I come up!" I told Bai Jiao very heavily that although it was dangerous for me to go down, they were not very safe on it.

"Well, be careful, too!" I saw Bai Jiao's eyes flickering with some crystals, and I reached out and touched her hair: "Don't worry, brother, I have to come back to protect you!" ”

Bai Jiao knocked my hand off and scolded with a smile: "Don't eat my tofu!" ”

"Hahaha......"

I laughed, squatted down carefully, and finally lay on the edge of the cliff, Bai Jiao threw the end of the rope down, and I clutched the rope with both hands.

"Zhang Lang!" Just as I was about to descend, Bai Jiao pursed her lips and suddenly called me.

"What's wrong?"

"Be careful!"

Damn, can we see the truth in adversity, Bai Jiao, this girl has long been interested in me?

"Hmm!" I put away my laughing thoughts, and under Bai Jiao's gaze, I grabbed the rope and climbed down with difficulty.

This is really not a human work. I guess when I was braiding the rope, I used too much force and rubbed too hard, and I only dropped two or three meters, and there was a sharp pain in my hand.

I also admire myself, in one day, I drank a small sip of water, and I still have the strength.

In this way, I carefully moved down little by little, and finally came to the end of the rope.

"I rely on ......"

I didn't pay attention when I was on it just now, but now I came to the end of the rope and found that the end of the rope was about two meters and a half away from the cabin.

"Nimabi ......"

I really want to curse, but it's my own miscalculation, who can I blame?

Now that they're all down, am I going to climb up and make up a new section? No, no, no.

Isn't it just more than two meters, I'm afraid of a hair!

I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, and let go of the rope.

Bang.

There was a muffled sound, and I was so damn that my ass hit the ground first. Feeling the pain in my hips, I jumped up from the cabin, clutched my buttocks, and began to rub nonstop.

"Hey...... Zhang Lang...... What are you doing...... Overdone the excitement? ”
