The Land of Yoro Chapter 21 It's good to have a book to read
The second master lay in front, gasping for breath, raising his head and staring ahead, I don't know what he was thinking, the wind passed through the empty rope, making a creepy howl, and suddenly turned back and shouted at me: "Give me the knife." ”
I looked at him inexplicably, and there was a resolute look in his eyes, and I was taken aback by his rare seriousness, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I slowly pulled out the knife and carefully removed the blade, and at the same time, he began to untie his legs in a very uncomfortable position.
It turned out that he wanted to tie the knife with a gaiter strap, then hang the rope with the gaiter strap, and finally tie the gaiter strap to himself, so that even if he got rid of it, he wouldn't fall down, the way was good, but .....
I just thought about the abyss under the rope, and my legs involuntarily began to tremble, watching the second master hang the knife on the rope as if nothing happened, and pulled hard, to confirm that there was no problem, tied the leggings through the belt, and slowly stood up by grabbing the rope that served as a guardrail.
He first tentatively stepped on the rope, and after feeling that it was enough to bear the weight of two people, he stepped forward, grabbed the rope on his chest with both hands, and began to move forward slowly.
At this time, the wind suddenly increased, swaying the second master from side to side, he stopped, half-squatting, waved his hand at me, pointed to the rope on the other side, I nodded helplessly, began to slowly untie his leggings, and rummaged up and down only to find that there was no iron tool in hand, so helpless, I had to hang the leggings directly on the guardrail rope, and silently prayed in my heart: don't get entangled.
Learning from the second master's appearance, he pulled hard, and after confirming that there was no problem, he stood up slowly tremblingly, and the wooden plank under his feet made a rattling sound, and as soon as he stepped on one foot, a gust of wind blew, and the person swayed left and right, and his palms instantly sweated.
Stabilized his body, stood up with both feet, looked at the bottomless abyss below, couldn't help but feel dizzy, and kept warning in his heart "Can't look down, can't look down".
Gritting his teeth, his eyes stared straight at the darkness in front of him, but he always felt unsteady, and wanted to bow his head uncontrollably, but the leggings were not entangled with the rope, but because the resistance was too great, he had to squat down and pull every two steps, not to mention the progress that dragged down the progress, and he needed to muster up twelve points of courage to stand up again after each squat.
The second master walked very fast, the two of them were more than a dozen steps apart, and they were about to go out of sight and disappear into the darkness, I couldn't help but panic, this kind of place, this situation, there is no one in front of me, that is really terrifying.
This side is in a hurry, I can't help but want to hurry up a few steps, but people often say that the speed is not reached, just took a big step forward, and before waiting to step steadily, the other foot was raised, and the rope flickered, both feet were empty, and the heart suddenly panicked, and the hand did not have time to grasp, the whole person rode on the rope, and the second master in the distance heard the movement, stopped, and looked back at me.
I looked at him, shook my head, let out a sigh, slowly stood up again, rubbed the root of my thighs, and found that there was already a layer of cold sweat on my body, and the second master pointed to the front and squinted.
I squinted and strove into the darkness, and after a few seconds I realized that in the endless darkness, there was a blurred point of light, like a sesame seed in a pond, floating in and out.
Despite this, it still gives me great comfort in my heart, there is light to prove that this bridge has a head, as long as there is a head, I am not afraid of slowness, as long as I am walking, I will definitely arrive. For a moment, I felt that this rope was not particularly difficult to walk, and the wind was not particularly strong, as long as the frequency was mastered, it could be a little faster.
Thinking like this, the feet are indeed a lot faster, I don't know if the second master is waiting for me, I actually caught up with him, and began to go hand in hand, but unexpectedly, the distance of the bridge is closer than we expected, when I was still sprinting towards that point of light, my feet suddenly stepped on the ground, this sudden moment scared me, the second master also looked at the face of surprise, the two people looked down at the stone under their feet, stomped hard, looked at each other, and looked back at the suspension bridge that was still floating in the wind, cracked the big mouth, Hey smirked.
The second master took Yuanmei off his back and put it on the ground, he moved it far away, and collapsed, at this moment the white mist on it gradually turned from gray to black, I endured the soreness on my body, unloaded the backpack, took out the wet torch from it, wrapped it in gauze, poured kerosene, lit it and inserted it in the crack of the stone, I didn't even want to take a look at the surrounding environment, I just lay down on the ground, gasping for breath.
The torches blown by the strong wind sounded fiercely, the second master rested for a while, climbed to Yuanmei's side, took out the kettle, fed her a few sips of water, climbed to my side again, asked for a cigarette, and said while smoking: "Hey, a good girl, if you don't run to this place, suffer this crime, why don't you know to find a good family to marry early, and enjoy the happiness happily." ”
I felt that the second master had something to say, but I couldn't figure out what he wanted to say for a while, so I snorted and said: "Who dares to marry such a woman, don't forget, people are the head of the Li family." ”
"What's wrong with being a family, not marrying when you're a family?" So what does it mean to be a home? ”
"What you said, what does the Li family do for a living, don't you know, such a family, marry you, you dare to marry?" ”
"Dare, what don't you dare." As soon as the words came out, the second master realized that his words were a little inappropriate, pretended to cough, threw away the cigarette butt, and lay on the ground without speaking.
After a cup of tea, Yuanmei woke up in a circle, she just came out of a little movement, and the second master was startled, he looked in the direction of Yuanmei, turned around, and lay down again, I saw that he didn't mean to get up, so he got up, walked to Yuanmei's side and asked, "How is it?" Better? ”
"Where is this?" ”
: "Across the Bridge"
"Oh" After saying that, she stood up, slowly circled around the light range of the torch, and when she saw two sesame seeds of light in the distance, she asked, "What is that?" I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head, and she looked at the point of light for a moment, then thoughtfully walked to the edge of the cliff at the head of the bridge, crouched down and looked down, and after a while suddenly shouted, "Bring the torches, there's something down here." ”
As soon as she shouted, the second master and I got up from the ground, came to her with torches, squatted down together, and followed her fingers.
Sure enough, on the cliff under the cliff, there is a copper chain with the thickness of an adult's arm, which extends obliquely all the way to the abyss, look at the heavy green rust on it, let alone thousands of years, look at the tight state of the copper chain, there seems to be a very heavy thing hanging below, Yuanmei suddenly stood up, brought kerosene and gauze, wrapped the stone, and threw it directly into the abyss after ignition, with the fall of the firelight, the three people invariably counted: "One, two, three, four......."
There were six copper chains stretching from different positions on the cliff all the way into the thick fog of the abyss, and each one was tight, and the second master said in a staggered manner: "How big does this have to be to use such a thick chain?" And how did they get in, this one has to be tens of thousands of pounds, to say the least."
"It's not supposed to be hanging something, it's tying something." ”
"What's the difference?" ”
Yuanmei walked back to the place where she had just rested, the three of them squatted down, and she picked up a small stone and drew it on the ground.
"This cliff is vertical, and these copper chains are oblique, if it's a hanging thing, you see, the copper chain should be parallel and perpendicular to the cliff, so there is only one explanation, and that is that there is something tied under this abyss." ”
"Could it be a living thing?" "I think of the howls I heard on the suspension bridge, and although I didn't really hear it, and it didn't feel like it was very reasonable, but what else was there to talk about?
"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of living creature uses such a thick chain?" Over the years, we have seen a lot of strange things, you say, which one is worthy of these tens of thousands of pounds of copper chains, and they are all crushed to death, and they are all crushed to death, and they are all put aside for these years, what to eat? Unless they were dead from the beginning, but if they were dead, what did the ancients do to make such a big battle? If you want me to say, nine times out of ten, what kind of gold, silver and jewelry is down here, I was afraid of losing it, so I locked it and threw it inside, and then I estimated that something happened so I didn't take it away. After the second master finished speaking, he gave me a blank look, as if he had taken advantage of the big reason, and sat on the side and began to press the knife on the knife.
According to my understanding of ethnic minorities, due to years of war, they are often forced to migrate, so for them, the safest and safest way is to make gold and silver into jewelry and wear them on their bodies. ”
I suddenly remembered the big hat worn by the female ghost on the second master's body, could it be that it was not actually a hat, but an extra-large piece of jewelry? No wonder it looks so unique.
"What animal is that big?" "Although I proposed the idea, I actually felt incredible in my heart.
"Yes, look, I say, how can there be such a big living thing? The second master saw that he had the upper hand again, and he had to ignore the unforgiving words.
"I don't know this, but continue to move forward, I will definitely find some clues, and along the way, I found that whether it is a strange fish or a highly poisonous gecko, there are shadows of artificial placement, remember the ancient books, in the battle of Zhuolu, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor had tamed the wolf, tiger and leopard as a beast soldier, and then from the female head of the bird body of the Nine Heavens Xuannu to teach the "Xuannu Tactics", learn the root of its three palace secret strategy and five tones of strategy, and finally evolved the method of Dunjia according to the wind, which was able to defeat Chiyou, At the time, I thought this was an exaggeration of the ancients, but now it seems that we are shallow.
Take the strange fish and the strange bird as an example, obviously, the two of them are a kind of mutual restraint relationship, the big monster fish eats the small monster bird, the big monster bird eats the small monster fish, you see, isn't this an endless ring? Such a coincidental and appropriate environment, if it were naturally formed, would be too perfect. Yuanmei said as she drew a circle on the ground.
Before I could think about it, the second master preemptively said: "If you eat like this, the small ones are eaten cleanly, how can there be any big ones?" ”
After listening to a pat on the thigh, the two looked at Yuanmei with some pride, she thought for a while and said: "Height, height is the key, as long as the strange bird on the top does not fall, only the big fish can eat, but the strange bird can fly, for example, the fight we just experienced, so even if it is a big fish, it is not so easy to eat if you want to, this is a two-box control layout, a bit similar to neither let the big fish eat enough, but also do not let the strange bird reproduce too fast, of course, the layout in this in addition to the need to skillfully use the yin and yang gossip in the mutual restraint." It is also necessary to know very well the habits and temperaments of both animals. ”
"And what exactly is this strange fish?" "This is a question that has always haunted my mind.
"I guess that since it is a fish species left over from ancient times, I am afraid that nine times out of ten it is the legendary Kun, and it has been recorded in "Getaway" that "there is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun." The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky."
The ancients were limited by shipbuilding technology at that time, and the boats built were very small, and they could overturn small boats, and the fish that fed on people would naturally be exaggerated several times, just like the crocodile in the Yangtze River, and was also named the title of Pig Po Long in the early years, according to the "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei", this pig Po Dragon can make waves, lift the boat and eat people, and can fly sideways on the river, at that time, everyone heard its color change, and no one dared to eat its meat, but my master suffered from cough and asthma back then, and specially ordered someone to buy a few catties of crocodile jerky from Jiangxi, it is said that this thing can replenish qi and nourish blood, calm cough and relieve asthma, It is an excellent nourishing treasure. ”
After listening to her, the second master and I looked at each other like listening to a book from heaven, and had the heart to ask about the strange bird again, but I didn't understand it, so I simply took out a cigarette, the two of them divided, and smoked it silently, the second master raised his head several times and wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his mouth, he took the cigarette back again, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, hey, if I have the opportunity, I must read more books, not to be knowledgeable, at least to understand is good.
