Chapter 21: Lan (2)

(Continued tomorrow)

Lan turned his face to look at the fat man. As if knowing what the fat man was thinking, Lan didn't speak, just looked at the fat man quietly.

The fat man was stunned by her, and instinctively avoided it. But after thinking about it, the other party was just a woman, and it was too embarrassing for him to be so sloppy, so he raised his face to look at her.

I understand what the fat man is worried about. Let's not talk about whether this orchid can climb to the top of the cliff smoothly. Even if she did get up to it and pull us up with a rope, who could guarantee that she wouldn't suddenly lash out and let us go? Tomb robbing is a profession that belongs to the outside world, not a legitimate profession, and those who do it are all for money. Human beings are creatures with changeable natures, and there have been many things about killing and plundering for the sake of wealth since ancient times. And even if the fat man and I die here, no one outside will know about it.

But then again, we're in an awkward position right now. It is not up to the world or to the ground. Go up, I and the fat man will definitely not be able to go up without tools. Go down, and when you go back to where you just was, you still have to find a way to get out. And according to what I know about fat people, even if I figure it out, I still climb up.

I leaned into the fat man's ear and said what I had just thought. The fat man blinked, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After a while, I saw the fat man gritting his teeth, turning out the rope from his bag and handing it over. "I hope the fat man didn't believe the wrong person."

Lan took the rope and hung it diagonally over her shoulder, glanced at me, and stepped back to the edge of the stone platform.

I saw that she was ready to run, so I quickly pulled the fat man to make a way for her.

Lan retreated to the edge of the stone platform and stared at the raised stone for two seconds, then suddenly exerted his strength, and the whole person shot out like an arrow from the string. The moment she leaped into the air, I felt a particularly strong urge to live five years less than for her to make the jump.

I was stunned by this strange thought of myself, and before I could regain my senses, I felt the fat man slap me hard.

I almost didn't give the fat man a slap. I just wanted to ask him what he was doing, but I saw him pointing at Lan who was already lying on the stone with a look of adoration and said, "Hey, awesome! can climb and long jump, why can't you go to heaven if you're so awesome? ”

I subconsciously looked at Lan and found that she was standing on the stone half-crouched and half-lying on her stomach in a particularly strange way, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, the fat man slapped me again and said, "Hey, I was worried that if the girls couldn't jump over, we would all have to be trapped here." Now it's all right. As he spoke, he slapped himself on the chest again, as if he was going to jump over it himself.

"Don't be too happy. Whether she's gone or not, and whether she's willing to save us when she's up there is another matter. I whispered a reminder to the fat man.

The fat man was slightly stunned: "Hey, I said, since you have made a choice, don't be afraid to pay the price." As he spoke, he shouted at Lan: "Sister, come on!" ”

Hearing the fat man call her sister, I almost fell down without standing still. Fortunately, the fat man grabbed me quickly.

"I didn't call you sister, you're excited." The fat man said.

"Why the don't you care if people call your sister?"

"You have to know a piece of, it's called an honorific title. Do you understand honorific titles? ”

"Fart, you called her a pussy just now. Also honorific, why don't you call her aunt? ”

"Auntie, that's a term for a married woman, do you think she looks like?"

"Dare you still want to soak someone's house?"

As soon as I said this, I was stunned. Seeing that the fat man still wanted to talk to me, I waved my hand to indicate that I didn't want to discuss the issue anymore. Then go and see Lan.

I noticed that she was also looking at me and was looking a little confused. Probably she saw me and the fat man scolding, but she didn't hear what we were talking about, and thought we were at odds.

I was slightly trembling at her, and immediately waved at her, indicating that nothing had happened. Then he went to put his arm around the fat man's shoulder.

Lan turned his head away from me and looked up at the cliff overhead. Thinking about the route slightly, Lan quickly climbed up like a gecko.

The fat man looked at her and swallowed, "It seems that she deliberately slowed down and waited for us when she climbed just now." Awesome. ”

I silently calculated the distance from us to the top of the cliff. There should be about twenty meters left. According to Lan's speed, he should be able to reach the top soon.

Seeing Lan climb away, the fat man folded his hands and began to chant the Bodhisattva's blessing, and there must be a rope hanging down later.

I looked at the trembling flesh on the fat man's cheeks, and I was silently chattering in my heart. Hopefully Lan will be able to climb to it smoothly.

After ten minutes, it was estimated that Lan had climbed to the top. The fat man looked up with a flashlight. But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see any rope hanging down.

"The road up there shouldn't be easy to climb, so it'll be a little slower." The fat man said.

After about ten minutes or so, the fat man looked up again. Still didn't see a rope hanging down.

"I think I'm tired halfway through the climb, so I'm resting." The fat man said.

I found that the fat man was a little anxious, but the fat man covered it up very well, and I couldn't see it if I didn't look closely.

I couldn't help but look up too. I didn't see anything when I found it black. I didn't even see the flashlight that Lan was carrying just now.

It's not going to fall off, we didn't find it, right? I frowned, thinking about it, and looked down.

It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Another half hour passed. The fat man finally couldn't help it after looking up a few times, and pointed to the top of his head and scolded.

I'm also a little lost. It seems that this woman still chose to die for money.

The fat man scolded for a while, then suddenly stopped, came over and pulled a rope out of my bag and hung it on his shoulder. I asked him what he was going to do. He ignored me and unloaded his backpack and threw it on the ground. Then just step back.

I can see what the fat man is going to do by looking at his movements. Hurriedly grabbed him.

The fat man shook off my hand and said to me, "Don't be like a child, don't be afraid to pay the price when you make a choice." With that, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "When I go up, you tie your bag to the rope first." I'll pull the gear up first. ”

I looked at the fat man with some complications. To be honest, after being abandoned by Lan once, it's hard for me to muster up the courage to trust the fat man anymore. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that after all the equipment is hoisted, the fat man will also walk away like Lan. If that were the case, I would have no choice but to jump from here and fall to my death.

The fat man looked at my evasive gaze and guessed what I was thinking. patted me and said, "Don't worry, in my rules, there has never been such a thing as not saving you when you see death." After speaking, he held my face and forcibly looked at me, and continued: "If I don't save the fat man, even if you hadn't died in the battle of the Yin soldiers, you would have drowned in the river a long time ago." ”

I looked at him and my heart began to waver.

Ten seconds later, I chose to believe the fat man.

The fat man looked at me and took a heavy breath, and after nodding, he himself breathed a sigh of relief. Tightening the rope that hung diagonally on his shoulder, the fat man suddenly smiled.

"Boy, wait here." As he spoke, the fat man touched my head and took a few steps back to the edge of the stone platform.

Fat people are actually very nervous. Because I heard him gasp for breath and the meal was very uncomfortable.

The fat man took a few breaths and smiled at me: "Fat man, I'll take a step first." ”

"You're not going to say anything auspicious?" I scolded.

"Is a smooth journey auspicious?" The fat man said.

I turned my face away from him. The fat man also kept his mouth shut.

After a few seconds, I heard the fat man cheer myself up with a deep "ha", and I knew that the fat man was ready to run.

I closed my eyes and said to myself the blessing of the Bodhisattva. But before I could finish reading the Bodhisattva words, I was hit on the head by a mass of something, and then it was put on my shoulder. I subconsciously opened my eyes to see.

It's a rope that hangs from the top of the head.

"Fat man, wait a minute!" I shouted. Even though I hadn't yet realized what the rope meant, I had already stopped the fat man who was about to start.

The fat man had already begun to exert his strength, and when he heard my scream, he forcibly took it back again. As a result, one stumbled and almost fell.

"What's wrong?" The fat man asked, "Lao Tzu has finally accumulated his anger value, don't interrupt casually, okay?" ”

"Rope." I said, "She hung the rope down. "My voice trembled a little.

Damn, she put the rope down anyway. I said in my heart. At the same time exhaled vigorously.

"Rope?" The fat man walked over and was visibly relieved to see the rope on my shoulder.

"Come, I'll go first. Try if the rope is strong. The fat man said and prepared to climb up. It's still the plan just now, wait for me to go up. Then you hoist the gear up and you come up again. ”

I could tell the fat man was still suspicious. He was still afraid that Lan would suddenly let go in the process of climbing up his forehead.

I just wanted to say that I would go first this time, but I saw the fat man wave his hand and signal me not to talk nonsense.

The fat man's climb up was smooth and easy. Holding the rope with both hands, his body is 90 degrees perpendicular to the cliff. I walked up easily with the strength of my hands and steps.

Not long after the fat man went up, I hoisted the equipment up, and then I started to climb up like the fat man.

I don't have the physical strength of a fat man. Although he climbed to the top, his hands were also out of strength.

When I got to the top of the cliff, I looked around and didn't see Lan.

I asked Fat Zilan what about? The fat man said he didn't know either, and he didn't see her when he came up. I said fart, how could it be. If she's not pulling the rope on it, how did you get up? The fat man pointed to a stone bag protruding from the ground not far away, and motioned for me to look there.

I looked over and saw that the other end of the rope that had just hung down went all the way to the inside of the stone bag. I asked the fat man what it was, and the fat man said he didn't know either. As soon as he came up, he was so busy hoisting the equipment and me that he didn't have time to study and get things.

I asked the fat man to help me through. When I got to the edge of the stone package, I saw clearly that it was a stone tower more than one person high made of very large gravel.

"Did she press the rope under this and go on her own?" I asked the fat man.

The fat man shook his head and said, "Impossible. If this stone is pushed as a whole, it is possible to bear the weight of the fat man, but this is a broken stone, which is easy to scatter. "I thought about it. The fat man said again: "The rope should be tied to a Dongzi, she is afraid that it will not be strong." That's why it was pressed with stones. So saying, the fat man went to move the stones, intending to tear down the stone tower and take a look.

I looked around and saw that there weren't any big rocks around. In other words, these stones were moved by Lan one by one after running a long distance.

No wonder it took so long. I said in my heart, and then silently apologized in my heart.

The stone tower was demolished by the fat man in a short time. The fat man snorted. I looked over and saw a pit on the ground the size of a basin and the depth of a bucket. There is also a black knife stuck in the center of the pit. The blade is buried deep in the ground, revealing only a piece of the handle. And the other end of the rope is tied to the handle of the knife.

"Yo-heh." The fat man snorted and crouched down to pull out the knife. After a few efforts, I found that I couldn't pull it out. The fat man was angry, blushing and exerting his strength to eat milk.

When the fat man drew his knife, I suddenly noticed that there were bright red blood stains on the stone that the fat man had removed. Squeezing down to take a closer look, I noticed that there were many stones with blood stains on them.

Blood can get on so many stones at once, is she hurt?
