Chapter 8: Cliff Feeding
I pointed to the sea cliffs in the distance, where seagulls and some unknown seabirds hovered in the sky.
"What do you need us to do?" Lin Xian'er asked.
"I need a strong rope."
Lin Xian'er and the others immediately took action, and the five of us were busy for two hours, using vines to weave a thirty-meter long rope.
When we walked to the foot of the sea cliff, we found that the slope of the mountain was very steep, and the side of the sea cliff facing the sea was a cliff, and now it seems that we can only go back to the sea surface of the sea cliff from the dense forest.
We burrowed into the dense forest, wielding sticks in the dense vegetation and chopping and chopping all the way forward. After walking for about half an hour, we went up a slope and our view widened in vain.
We climbed the sea cliff, the top of the cliff was very gentle, I stood on the edge of the cliff and stretched out my head to look down, the cliff was overgrown with bushes, the waves below were crashing against the sea cliff, and the bird's nests were built safely on the stone wall.
I was dizzy to see such a spectacular sight, and I almost fell headlong when I leaned over, but fortunately someone behind me grabbed me in time.
When I saw that it was Wang Yan, I smiled at her and said thank you.
I found a low tree at the top of the cliff, tied one end of the rope to the pole and tied it into a dead button, I grabbed the rope and pulled it back a few times, but the low tree did not move.
I began to tie the other end of the rope to my waist, and then Xia Lan walked up to me and volunteered: "I'll go down, I'm lighter than you, and the rope will definitely be able to bear my weight." ”
I looked at Xia Lan with some surprise, whether it was true or fake, but I saw the concern in her eyes.
I smiled, and my good impression of Xia Lan in my heart couldn't help but improve a lot.
"I've played rock climbing and have experience." I said to her, "And it's too dangerous, it's not for girls." ”
Xia Lan bit her lip and nodded, looking a little lost, but she still told me with concern: "Pay attention to safety." ”
I nodded, and checked the rope tied to the low tree again.
Lin Xian'er and the others were afraid that I would fall, so they wrapped the rope around their waists, and in the event of an accident, the four of them could completely pull me up.
Wang Yan put on her coat on the edge of the cliff again, so as to prevent the rope from suddenly being worn by the stones.
I was about to go down, Wang Yan held the rope and told me, "Be careful." ”
I glanced at Wang Yan's chest, put it in her ear and said, "I can't bear to die." ”
"Nasty!" Wang Yan slapped me, and I couldn't help but feel good when I saw Wang Yan's shy appearance.
I took off my coat and made it into a pocket and hung it around my neck.
I took a deep breath and began to climb down the cliff.
The cliff was uneven, and I carefully approached the first nest by picking at or stepping on the protruding or recessed rock.
Many seabirds were startled by me, an outsider, and flew up from their nests, and they circled around me and chirped.
I crawled to the first nest, which contained five eggs, and a seagull clung to a stone wall not far away, and barked angrily at me with its wings outstretched.
I pulled out three eggs and left two, and then moved down the cliff to the next nest, and I continued to dig out a few more nests, and found a total of fourteen eggs.
I looked at the eggs of different sizes in the pocket of my clothes, which was certainly not enough, and there was a bird's nest at my feet, and there were seven or eight eggs in it.
I glanced up at the top of the cliff, and now I'm almost a dozen meters down.
I continued to make my way towards the nest at my feet, and just as I was looking for a place to stay, suddenly something grabbed me by the neck and a sharp object pecked at my head.
Startled by the sudden attack, I quickly pulled at my head with both hands, and my body fell backwards.
By the time I realized I had fallen, it was too late, and the nest was crushed by my panic, and the eggs and nest fell with me into the sea.
The loss of the center of gravity made my heart rise to my throat, and suddenly the rope around my waist tightened, and I stopped falling. I was so scared that my whole body was shaking. I gasped for breath, my body hung in the air, and I didn't dare to move.
Suddenly I heard it above, Wang Yan seemed to be shouting something, and then I found myself starting to rise.
I took the opportunity to step on a jutting rock and adjusted my position, and I used my strength to climb up......
When I lay down on the cliff, my legs were still shaking, and I gasped and handed the clothes around my neck to Wang Yan.
"Are you alright?"
"Brother Lu Yuan."
For a while, a few girls were chattering around me, and I waved my hand to indicate that I was fine.
I lay down for a long time to recover, motioned for them to pack up the ropes, and as I was leaving, I explored the topography of the cliffs, the cliffs facing the sea facing east, the gentle slopes on the side of the dense forest facing west, and the steep slopes facing south when we came.
The upper half of the mountain to the north is a gentle slope, the lower half of the mountain is a steep cliff, and there is a flat land halfway up the mountain in the middle, and there is a natural cave!
What's more, we also found a small stream at the foot of the mountain to the west when we came.
This is a good place that I have chosen as my permanent residence in the future.
