Chapter 52: Life Hangs by a Thread

"When did I tell you that I could heal him?" He turned his head and asked me, and then he said lightly, "However, the more dendrobium, the better his wound, that's for sure." ”

He glanced at the bottom of the cliff, shook his head and sighed, "It would be better if there were more, wild dendrobium is very scarce, and it is an eye-opener to see four today, but in the end, the one was not picked, it's a pity." ”

When I heard Lai Shatuo say this, I turned to the man and said, "Try again!" There's another one! "I still have hope for the last dendrobium, because with one more herb, Shanzi's wound is more likely to heal.

"No, it's too dangerous, we're not sure." The man said to me with a little frustration.

"Think of a way, I can add some more money." I said to them firmly, "I'll pay double the price for that tree!" ”

But they still packed up their tools, "No, I can't reach it at all, the rock under the dendrobium is sunken in, and there is no fulcrum at the foot at all, so I can't use it." ”

I still don't want to pass up this opportunity, "Triple the price, how's that!" "I started to get anxious, and finally found Dendrobium, how could I just give up.

The man shook his head lightly and explained to me calmly, "It's not about money, we won't joke with our lives, you can also see, the angle of that dendrobium is not good, there are too many weeds around, plus there is no support point for the body, and the wind on the cliff is strong, if you don't get it, it will really kill you." ”

With that, he lowered his head and put his tools in his bag.

"That's pretty much it, that's a lot!" Raishata packed his bag as well, and it seemed that he was ready to go down the mountain.

"I'll go down!" I grabbed the bag of a medicine picker next to me, "You put on protective gear for me, and I'll go down to pick it!" ”

They were taken aback by my words, and they all looked at me, "I'll go down and put on my protective gear!" ”

"No way!" The man was a little angry, but he still restrained his emotions, because I paid for their salaries, and for them, I was the boss.

"Definitely not, we won't let you go down!"

"Rent your protective gear for double the price!"

"That's not going to work either!" The man didn't give an inch.

Just when we were at a stalemate, Lai Shatuo dropped the bag in his hand, grabbed a tree with both hands, poked his head out and looked at the dendrobium tree under the cliff, and in an instant, his eyes rolled, and he turned around and stretched out three fingers at my left hand, "Triple the price, I'll go down with you, how about it?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, turned my head to look at him, his eyes were full of greed, "Doctor Lai is willing to go down with me, then the price will be four times!" ”

Lai Shatuo was taken aback for a moment, it seems that the price I offered exceeded his expectations, Shanzi's injury still needs his good treatment, double the price, and he will naturally treat us well.

Lai Shatuo's mouth was very big, and he laughed haha, "Wealth scatters people gather, wealth scatters people gather!" ”

He excitedly turned his head to the four of them and said, "We use your protective gear, you help us command, you don't have to worry about other things, if there is really any problem, it has nothing to do with you!" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and snatched the bag in their hands, opened it and poured out all the protective gear inside, "How to wear it, hurry up, help me put it on!" ”

I also picked them up from the ground, and put myself inside as I learned how they dressed, and the three men were dumbfounded, and they all looked at the man.

The man knew that he couldn't stop us, so he shook his head helplessly, "Okay." He said to the three men, "Help them put on protective gear." ”

After a few people hurriedly helped us put on the protective gear, and tied the protective rope to the tree again, the man carefully checked it with me and Lai Shatuo, and made sure that there was no problem, and he was ready to put us down.

"Be sure to pay attention to safety, don't panic if you have any problems, stick your body close to the cliff, grasp the protective rope, and grab whatever you can catch around, stones, tree roots, and grass!" The man tugged on the protective rope a few more times with his hand.

"Alright, let them go."

Lai Shatuo and I held on tightly to the rope and slowly lowered ourselves, and when we looked down from the top of the cliff, we realized that the work of collecting medicine was really not as simple as we imagined, the bottom of the cliff was bottomless, and all we could see was the white clouds under our feet.

I just glanced at my feet, and my adrenal hormones increased rapidly, my heart began to beat irregularly, and I could even hear the blood vessels in my cranial cavity "clattering" due to the increase in blood pressure.

My hands also began to sweat, and they were already slightly slippery in the gloves, and my whole body began to tremble, and I shrugged my shoulders nervously, twisting my neck and rubbing the sweat on them.

"Don't look down, hold on to the rope and go down slowly!" The man was shouting loudly from the top of the cliff, and I could tell from his voice that he was more nervous than we were.

Lai Shatuo didn't seem to be afraid, he calmly approached the dendrobium step by step, although the speed was not fast, but he walked very steadily, and he could see that he was adjusting his breathing with the rhythm of his steps, a barefoot doctor could do this, it was really amazing.

I exhaled twice and walked slowly down in the same style as Raishata, and just as I had just adjusted to this rhythm, the wind was blowing stronger and stronger.

I could only hold on to the weeds beside me for the time being, but even then, the protective rope on my body was blown into an arc.

Raisha was on my left, still moving down unhurriedly, "Don't stop, just go down, stop and you'll be in trouble!" ”

We slowly approached the dendrobium, but its position was in a depression to our right, and even if we could get there, there was nowhere to stay, only to hang in the air.

I looked around and saw a tree root sticking out of the crack in the stone to the left of Raishata, as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

"I'll swing over, you help me!" I looked at the root to his left.

He understood at once, and leaned to the left with his foot, then reached out and grabbed the root, and shook it vigorously to make sure it was strong.

"Come on!" As he spoke, he wrapped his feet and left hand around the root of the tree and stretched out his right hand to me.

I quickly leaned to the left following his movements, and I was no longer nervous, because at the moment I only had the dendrobium tree in my heart, and it was already within reach.

As I approached Raishata, he grabbed my arm hard, "Are you ready?" ”

I looked at the dendrobium tree, turned to him and said, "Come on!" ”

He pushed me hard, and I swung out to the right, some distance from the dendrobium.

When I reached the highest point to the right, I swung back in the direction of Rashata like a pendulum, and in this way, I was pushed hard from the cliff by Rashato, and every time he exerted force, I would get a little closer to the dendrobium.

"It's not close! It's been touched! I shouted, "Just this once!" ”

Raisha was obviously a little exhausted, but he still had round eyes, holding his breath and exerting all the strength of his body to give me one last push!

I've forgotten my fear for a while, and I can't help but feel excited, I can catch it now!

However, all of them overlooked a fatal problem, that the dendrobium grew in the depression of the cliff wall, and the top of the depression was relatively prominent, and because I had been going back and forth many times, the protective rope had been worn and was about to break!

The moment I had just caught the dendrobium, "Boom! With a crisp sound, the rope broke!
