Chapter 10 Rock Climber
The assistant of the unicorn removed the end of the crossbow arrow tied into the crevice of the rock, but did not rush to take it back, but grabbed the end of the rope and climbed a tree that grew not far from the edge of the cliff. Then he tied the end of the rope to the branch of the tree.
The single horn at the bottom of the waterfall took off his backpack and took out a small shoebox-sized box that looked delicate. When I opened the lid of the small box, I could clearly see that there were six or seven strange pulleys in it. The unicorn picked only the largest one and took it out, and then covered the box again.
In his hand is a set of pulleys, angular and angular, wide at one end and narrow at the other, with an irregular shape that looks like a human foot.
The structure of the wide end is more complicated, and the specific structure inside is not clear, but you can see a pulley that looks like a gear, which is different from usual, and there are some small teeth evenly distributed on it. On both sides of the wide end, there are two handles made of belts, similar to the side of a men's handbag, and the structure can be inserted into the palm of the hand.
The narrow part is an ordinary pulley, and on a U-shaped iron plate, there is a miniature version of the train wheel. But on the back of the U-shaped iron sheet, there is a small circular locket, and a thin steel cable sticks out of the hole in the box, which is connected to the wider part in front.
The unicorn took the pulley in front of the wide place, aimed at the end of the rope, and gently pressed a small button hidden under the side belt, and the toothed pulley bit the rope head, and then buzzed, and went up the rope.
At this point, I figured out that at least it had a battery in it, and a rotating motor, and at the push of a button, the toothed pulley rotated, and at the same time, the tints bit the rope and moved the pulley along the rope. At the same time, the pulley in the narrower part of the back also naturally passes through the rope.
Then the horn tied the end of the rope below to a relatively strong stone to ensure that it was very strong.
He repositioned the pulley set on the rope to a height of more than a meter, and he could reach out and touch it. Then press a small button on the top of the narrower section and pull the pulley down underneath.
The round box behind the U-shaped iron sheet turned out to be a tape measure-like thing, and as the pulley below went down, the thin steel cable inside also elongated, and the two parts of the pulley block were about a meter apart.
The unicorn releases the pulley button underneath, and the thin steel cable is firmly locked and no longer stretches out.
Now there's the important part, which shows us how to use it. He first inserted the palms of his two hands into the sides of the upper half, and then he held the rope between his feet and pedaled on the pulley below, and now the single horn was completely off the ground and hung under the rope.
After the demonstration, the unicorn went back to the ground and gave us a detailed explanation of the precautions in English, of course, I didn't understand a word.
However, Su Rina understood, she imitated the posture of a single horn, got on the rope, and then the two palms of the two hands were forced, and the button at the palm of the hand was activated.
I saw that Su Rina was like a trapeze artist, and she followed the rope to the top of the cliff.
The assistant of the unicorn chooses the branch of the rope, and the height is very well controlled, which not only keeps the rope and the cliff wall at a certain height, so that the back of the person who goes up will not be scratched by the cliff, but also can easily land after going up.
After going up, Su Rina jumped lightly and landed safely.
The unicorn assistant broke a small device on it, so that the gear gap in the front half of the pulley block was increased, so that the gear would not bite the rope, and then as soon as he let go, the whole pulley set slid down the rope again.
The unicorn repositioned himself and motioned for us to move on.
The second one is me, although it seems very simple, but the first time I use this thing, I can't help but panic. I carefully imitated Surina's movements before, not only inserting my hands into the belt, but also crossing the fingers of my hands on the other side to make sure that I was stronger. Then I clamped the rope tightly with my feet and pedaled on the pulley below, and I could feel that the steel cable sticking out of the small box was very strong, and it would not move if I pressed hard.
As soon as I closed my eyes and clamped my palms hard, the small button was pressed, and then I felt like I was flying in the sky, and I quickly went up to the sky along the rope. Before he could react to what was going on, the gear in front of him had been caught up in the trunk of the tree and could not move on.
I opened my eyes, and I was already on top of the waterfall, and with a slight dizziness, I jumped back to the ground, and then rushed down and shouted, "Come up, this thing is so fun." ”
The people below were relieved by my shout, and they came to me one by one with a pulley. When I came down, everyone was smiling, and it seemed that this thing was really interesting.
The fat brother repeatedly emphasized that when he was done, he must ask where he bought this thing, and he also had to buy a tree to climb and play.
The last one to come up was Uncle Galu, but Jiang Li refused to come up anyway.
I shouted at Jiang Li: "Jiang Li, don't be afraid, come up quickly, there is no danger." ”
Jiang Li said to me with a smile: "No need, don't worry about it, I can go up." ”
Originally, Dujiao wondered why this little girl was disobedient, but Uncle Galu helped him translate it, which meant to sue him, Jiang Li was not afraid, he had his own method.
After that, the unicorn below carried our backpacks separately, and untied the rope that tied the big stone and put away the magical pulley.
I wondered, "Won't he come up himself?" ”
Su Rina asked the same question to the assistant of the one-horned one.
The one-horned assistant smiled at us and shook his head with a smug expression as he retracted the rope.
Now there are Jiang Li and Dujiao left, and I have a hunch that a wonderful scene is about to be staged.
As I expected, I saw a one-horned staring at the cliff next to the waterfall.
Jiang Li smiled lightly and looked up at the cliff.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, as if there was a silent starting pistol, and at the same time they ran towards the foot of the hill as if they were racing.
We immediately understood that the two of us were going to have a freehand climbing competition, and one by one they lay on the edge of the cliff, staring at the two of them without saying a word.
At the same time, I also sweated for Jiang Li, a single horn can climb rocks, there is no doubt that he is a professional hunter, and he must have two points in terms of equipment and experience. But Jiang Li had to pay a little attention, and if he fell, he would be crippled if he didn't die.
The rock climbing officially began, and the unicorn was like a professionally trained rock climber, jumping on the cliff, like a light monkey, climbing up left and right.
Looking at Jiang Li again, all of us were stunned, Jiang Li was like a gecko with wings, like a wisp of flat ground on the cliff, almost at the speed of running, and flew up towards us.
Before we could come back to our senses, Jiang Li had already reached the top of the cliff, and a few minutes later it was a single horn. Obviously, in this rock climbing competition, Jiang Li is better.
Accompanied by everyone's incredulity, including the sweaty unicorn, all of us stared at Jiang Li, and our eyes were about to pop out.
Jiang Li looked at me indifferently and said, "What's wrong?" Didn't you say I could climb mountains before? Then he jumped up and down to get his backpack.
The fat brother wiped the saliva that flowed from his mouth and said, "Gecko Wall Swimming Technique?" ”
At this time, I really understood the magic of these five words, when Jiang Li said at the bottom of the Taishan pit that she could climb the wall, similar to the gecko swimming wall, I didn't take it seriously, it turned out to be such a magical kung fu.
In addition to us, the most surprised is probably the single horn, according to his climbing skills, he is also a rare top master in rock climbing, I didn't expect to lose in the hands of a girl today, and I was tired and sweaty, panting, the girl was relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
The unicorn stared at Jiang Li's back and was stunned for a while, and bowed deeply when Jiang Li turned around, which should be to show respect for the master.
Uncle Galu patted the unicorn on the back and said something we didn't understand, and then the unicorn nodded vigorously with a meaningful expression.
I guess what Uncle Galu said is that there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains. The unicorn should be deeply aware of the truth.
The mountain above the waterfall is another view. The jungle is much denser than below, and the width of the river and the speed of the current are more rapid. There are no stone paths along the river, and they are overgrown with all kinds of plants.
As we walked along the river, we were walking through the trees. Through the cover of the branches of the trees overhead, we can see a majestic mountain in the distance, and our destination should be the top of that mountain.
After about an hour of stumbling along, a low-lying area emerged, to which the branches of the river flowed, forming a natural lake.
On the otherwise calm surface of the lake, we saw a scene that made it impossible for everyone to be calm.
