Chapter 22: The Bottom of the Cliff
Zhang Siyuan patted his chest and put on an expression that was all wrapped around me, opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, but he was startled by the sudden sound of eerie music like Sadako's face, and his confident expression was retracted in an instant, replaced with wide-eyed eyes and a slightly open mouth.

I smiled, took out my phone from my pocket unhurriedly, and said to him, "You've heard it several times, why haven't you been mentally prepared?" ”
Zhang Siyuan grinned at me, and when I saw the words on the caller ID, my heartbeat accelerated suddenly. I grabbed the phone and shouted hurriedly, "Uncle Lu? ”
There was a very noisy sound of electromagnetic interference on the other end, which sounded very harsh, and I couldn't help but put my phone away a little, frowning and trying to make a few calls, but in any case I couldn't hear anything from this string of sounds similar to Morse code. I regretted and panicked, and kept blaming myself for not thinking of signal jamming at the time. Just as I was about to give up, the noise on the phone suddenly disappeared, followed by a desperate scream erupting from the earpiece.
I was completely unprepared, my heart was beating like I was on a roller coaster, and I threw my phone out in a panic before my brain could understand what was happening. Wang Zhen took a big step to the left, quickly bent down, copied it at the moment when the phone was about to make intimate contact with the stone, and shouted into the phone: "Uncle Lu? Feed? Feed? ”
He was only echoed by a series of sizzling sounds of electromagnetic interference. Wang Zhen tried several times, but he couldn't hear a clear voice anyway. My face turned pale, and Uncle Lu's sharp and piercing screams that could make people have nightmares kept echoing in my ears, and the uneasy emotions quickly spread in my heart, and my hands began to shake involuntarily.
I held Wang Linshuo's shoulder, stood up, and kept looking down the mountain, but there was nothing in the endless green. I panicked, beads of sweat running down my cheeks. Wang Zhen grabbed it, squatted down and picked me up, and said quickly: "Let's go find them." ”
I lay on Wang Zhen's back, and the bumps in the mountain road made my wounds ach. I gritted my teeth and secretly blamed myself for being a burden, and if I hadn't injured my foot now, I guess our efficiency would have been greatly improved. If I were standing on the ground and hurrying with them now, I would be so engrossed in speed that I wouldn't have time to think about it. But now my feet are hanging in the air, and I can't use any strength at all, so I start to worry and panic constantly, and I always imagine the scene of Uncle Lu and the man in black lying in the wilderness. Whenever the thought was just a head, as if the canvas had just been revealed, I tried my best to drive away the ominous image, while praying in my heart. Such unlucky thoughts kept repeating themselves in my mind, and I was exhausted.
Everyone hurried and hurried, and finally ran back to the woods. After Wang Linshuo carefully searched the nearby grass and trees, he shook his head with a heavy face. Wang Zhen suggested: "We are now close to the target, so will the electromagnetic interference be smaller?" Why don't we give it a try? ”
I nodded, took out my phone with a nervous expression, and dialed the number. There was a beeping sound on my phone, and I nervously held my breath and looked at the phone screen. When I had lost confidence and wanted to give up, Zhang Siyuan on the side suddenly changed his expression and walked straight to the edge of the cliff.
We didn't understand what he meant, and followed him. He asked for the phone from me, redialed it, and pricked up his ears and said, "Do you hear faint music coming from the cliff?" ”
I was stunned, but I calmed down and listened carefully, and sure enough, I heard the faint sound of drums floating up from under the cliff. Wang Zhen walked to the edge of the cliff and suddenly shouted, "They really went down!" ”
I lay on Wang Linshuo's back and looked down, only to see a faint light shining at the bottom of the dark cliff, and two thick and long hemp ropes were tied to the cliff wall, all the way to the bottom of the valley.
There were obvious traces of friction on the hemp rope, Zhang Siyuan looked at the bottom of the deep valley, and then looked at our expressions, and said worriedly: "You guys...... Planning to go down? ”
Wang Zhen sighed and said, "They are in trouble, how can they not save them?" ”
Zhang Siyuan sighed, frowned and stared at the cliff, and after a few minutes, he suddenly pointed at me and asked, "Then what should he do?"
I looked around, reached out and pulled off a long blade of grass, rubbed it a few times, tied it to the uninjured foot, and said as I picked the remaining blades of grass, "I still have a foot to use, and these blades of grass should be used as shoes." Tie a strip of cloth to the other foot and deal with it. ”
Seeing that I was so resolute, Zhang Siyuan pursed his lips and stopped talking, and only after a while did he hesitate to say: "It's not me who coaxes, I always feel that it is very unlucky to be under the cliff, and it is very likely to ......."
Wang Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's okay, we are lucky, no matter what we encounter, we can turn the danger into a disaster." ”
Zhang Siyuan nodded with a worried face, turned to me and said, "You must be careful, in case you step on the air, it will be over." ”
I nodded, and I didn't know when Zhang Siyuan had become such a mother-in-law, and hurriedly tied a thick layer of leaves to his feet and then took the lead with Wang Zhen, grabbing the hemp rope and stepping on the protruding stone the size of half a foot to climb down little by little.
When I was really leaning against the mountain wall, the cold wind was whistling on my face, there was only a hemp rope half a wrist thick in my hand, and the open space under my feet was even smaller, and I had to stand on my tiptoes, and I had to wait for a while, and with the courage that came out of my anxiety, I suddenly melted like ice and boiling water, and there was not even any slag left.
I clutched the hemp rope tightly and kept asking Wang Linshuo above if it was tied strongly. Wang Zhen squinted his eyes and moved down inch by inch, his legs were trembling slightly, and he didn't know if he was too nervous or what was going on.
I gritted my teeth and silently remembered that it was just a game played by some climbing club, with the safety rope and the ambulance staff by my side, as I stretched out my feet and cautiously tested the location of the next rock.
Because of my feet, my speed is a lot worse than Wang Zhen's. He was a little nervous at first, but now he is getting more and more proficient, agile like a monkey, and after a while I can't even see the top of his head.
Zhang Siyuan hugged the hemp rope tightly, closed his eyes and shouted: "Lao Tzu has a fear of heights!" You fucking come and save me! ”
Wang Linshuo tried to reach out to him to help, but he almost fell down. I panicked and said, "Ershuo, my net worth and life are now all tied to you!" You're going to hold on and remember me right behind your ass! ”
Wang Linshuo didn't answer, and the sound of heavy breathing came from above. Zhang Siyuan barely dared to open his eyes when he grabbed the hemp rope, and under our repeated encouragement and threats, he dared to move down little by little.
The process of rock climbing was thrilling, and after ten minutes, Zhang Siyuan, who was the slowest speed, also successfully stood at the bottom of the valley. I tilted my head and stared at the blue of the black rock walls until my neck was sore.
The valley floor was not at all as grassy as we thought, on the contrary, there were a lot of flowers and plants that I had never seen before, and all kinds of insects crawled under my feet. This time, except that the environment is a little darker, it is no different from the top of Baokang. I didn't care about resting, so I immediately dialed Uncle Lu's phone, and suddenly a voice sounded in the sound of squirming: The water of West Lake, my tears......
Zhang Siyuan couldn't help laughing: "How can there be a West Lake here? I look at the water called Cheng Hai, and Li Qingling's tears are almost the same. ”
I followed the sound and searched for it, flipping through the messy grass, a phone still vibrating trying to get my attention. I picked it up and put it in my pocket and rummaged through the grass around me, but I couldn't find a single trace of blood, not a single hair of hair.
I let out a long sigh, and the anxiety and uneasiness began to ferment again, drowning me all over like a tidal wave. My anxious mind went blank for a moment, and I didn't know what to say or do for a moment.
Wang Linshuo asked me for Uncle Lu's mobile phone and began to carefully check the call logs. He kept his head down for a long time and didn't say a word, his fingers sliding across the screen. I watched him with bated breath, hoping that he would find something of value. But his face was distorted for a moment, his fingers froze above the screen, and his eyes widened.
I was startled by the change in his expression, and I leaned over in fear, only to find a huge black shadow not far behind him, staring at us motionless.
