Chapter 17 Crossing the Brahmaputra River

Looking at the rusty wire rope in front of him, which was only the thickness of a crutch, Lao Gu was as papier-colored as paper.

Not to mention, this is a little different from the worst situation that Qin Zhen thought of in his mind. Qin Zhen originally thought that this iron cable crossed the river, no matter how it was said, there had to be a very thick iron cable, right? Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just a wire rope.

The crumbling wire rope spans the mighty waters of the Brahmaputra River, which, as Tashi says, must be at least 130 metres wide. But if you want to add the extension of the wire rope on both sides, then this zipline must be more than 200 meters long.

As for the height of the zipline from the river...... It is also a gap that makes Lao Gu want to die. The lowest distance is 100 meters in the air!

On weekdays, the height of residential buildings in the city is generally two meters seven or eight meters, and the height of ten floors is only thirty meters. This is equivalent to hanging through the air at the height of more than 30 floors...... Not to mention Lao Gu, even Qin Zhen was stunned for a while.

The high mountains on both sides of the strait are facing each other, the dangerous peaks are standing, the water flow at the bottom of the valley is turbulent, and the turbid waves are emptied. In the distance, you can see many faded prayer flags that have been eroded by the wind and rain fluttering in the wind. Presumably, this is a way for the mountain people to pray that the gods will bless them to cross the river safely.

Just such a wire zipline across the banks of the Brahmaputra River, it is inevitable that people will be shocking to watch! This is not a ropeway tourism project in the city, this is the life of the people on both sides of the deep mountain valley for generations.

Looking at the stunned Qin Zhen and the three of them, Tashi also smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, we all crossed the river like this." Now the conditions are already very good, at least the wire rope. The old people said. The original ziplines were made of bamboo. That's called danger, and almost all the time there will be mountain people falling into the raging Yajiang River. If it falls, it will be like what this big brother said...... There won't even be any bones left. ”

When Tashi said this, Lao Gu, who was already pale, was even more ashen! Who would have thought that the people of this mountain live the life of Tarzan of the Apes every day.

As Tashi said, the people who cross the river here on weekdays are none other than nearby villagers, but since few people go to the jungle, there are very few people near this zipline, and now there are only five of them. Well, five people again. It's just that the backbone of the cold heart is missing. On the edge of this cliff. I really feel less steady.

As the saying goes, a dragon cannot be without a leader. You have to have a leadership spirit. With faith, the heart can be fearless. But obviously, Qin Zhen couldn't play such a role for Lao Gu. Now even if the second emperor comes, it is impossible for Lao Gu to happily climb on the zipline.

The rocks on both sides of the river have been washed by the raging and roaring river water, and the peaks are even more craggy, under the baptism of wind and rain over the years. This is the world's number one Grand Canyon. It has become more and more mysterious and profound.

You have to cross the river anyway. It doesn't make any sense to be so stupid and look at the zipline. So Qin Zhen took the lead in walking to the zipline at this time and checked the "vehicle" they were about to use......

Probably because there are no mountain people on the other side, the rope looks very unreliable! Probably in disrepair. There is no maintenance, and the mountain people use it to and fro, and the steel rope will be worn out over the years, and the steel wire has been warped in some places. From time to time, some four-legged snakes or small snakes crawling out of the jungle climb up and down the tightropes...... This will obviously distract the people who cross the river even more.

Crossing the river on such a zipline can be imagined, and if you are not careful, you will cut the palm of your hand. Once you lose your balance, you will fall into the turbulent Yajiang River, and the chance of survival is equal to zero.

Qin Zhen wiped his face, then turned to Tashi and Tsering and said, "You brothers can teach us how to cross over." Don't go with it! I promised Old Man Sanchi that I would let you go back safely. ”

Tashi smiled heartily and said, "It's not even in the jungle yet!" What's next for you? Besides, we have been coming and going from this river since we were young, and we have long been used to it! Don't worry, we won't follow you into the snowy mountains! Come on, let's start preparing for the river!

As they spoke, Tashi and Tsering quickly took out a small wooden frame in the shape of a bow from the basket and put it on a wire rope, with a rope hanging from the bottom, obviously...... That's strapped to the body.

Seeing Qin Zhen's stunned state, the younger Tsering volunteered: "You guys take a good look at how I'm doing, I'll wait for you on the other side!" There is rope, and we deliberately took more of it. ”

Qin Zhen couldn't help but laugh and thought, what can be done with more ropes? If it breaks in the middle, there will be no chance to re-tie it again!

Tashi didn't object to his brother's idea, they seemed to be really used to the danger. Tsering was the first to go over, so it was a personal guide. Then Tashi wanted to "send" Qin Zhen and them one by one on this side, and finally he himself would go over.

Of course, the so-called "send" means that Tashi will tie a rope to them, guide them in a good way, and maybe push them if necessary......

After he had made up his mind, he saw Tsering tie the old broken rope around his waist. The two ends of the rope were tied to both ends of the wooden frame, both hands held the two ends of the wooden frame, and then the rope was clamped with both feet off the ground, with his back to the river, facing the blue sky, with his relaxed and cheerful whistle, in a blink of an eye, Tsering slid to the opposite side of the 100-meter-wide river with the downward momentum!

But soon, the roaring river drowned out Tsering's whistle. All that's left is a terrifying and dangerous scene!

At the moment when he rushed down, Qin Zhen's hearts seemed to rise to their throats! It felt like watching a person "fly" over the Yajiang River out of thin air.

Maybe it's because they're rare and weird, Tashi's eyes on the side are very calm. Probably, born here, I have been accustomed to these natural dangers since I was a child.

Because the river is too wide, the zipline is too long, and the arc in the middle is too large, it is impossible to rush to the top of the opposite zipline at this moment. Therefore, as for the remaining 20 meters, you can only climb the rope with your hands and feet to reach the opposite bank.

Fortunately, Tsering arrived on the other side safely. Seeing that his younger brother had arrived, Tashi turned his head to look at Qin Zhen and them. The eyes seem to be looking, who should cross the river next?

Lao Gu subconsciously took a step back, Jiang Qi looked at it, slapped Lao Gu with a smile and said, "Dude, go and wait for you on the other side!" I think what Qin Zhen said just now is very good, you should always keep in mind the chairman's teachings, you will be a water hit for 3,000 miles, and you will be confident in your life for 200 years! What is this zipline crossing the river! Look, buddy is one step ahead! ”

Jiang Qi also can't speak...... As soon as the sentence "one step ahead" was finished, even Qin Zhen felt weird. After tying the rope around his waist in cooperation with Tashi, Jiang Qi's neat legs clamped the rope. With Tashi's shouting of encouragement, Jiang Qi's whole person suddenly slipped down.

Jiang Qi is really good! did not embarrass the "Golden Bead Mami" at all, and gave full play to the momentum of the motherland's soldiers! When he reached the twenty meters that he couldn't slide over, he used his hands and feet at the same time, and his movements were light, and he seemed to be faster than Tsering to reach the opposite side!

Looking at Jiang Qi, who had already arrived on the other side of the river, Qin Zhen looked back at Gu Jie expressionlessly: "You first or I ...... first"

Lao Gu may have been affected by Jiang Qi's heroic and fearless actions, and at this moment he seemed to have made a lot of determination and said: "I, I'll come first!" ”

Qin Zhen took a step back, behind his left hand, stretched out his right hand and made a "please" gesture.

Lao Gu raised his head and walked towards the zipline with his head held high. The shape that stood in the wind was like a patriotic young man who bravely fought for the revolution.

When Tashi had already tied him up, he signaled that he could cross the river. But Lao Gu still craned his neck and tilted his head, standing there motionless.

Seeing this, Qin Zhen walked over, looked at Lao Gu's miserable white face, and asked, "What's wrong?" Lack of motivation? ”

Lao Gu didn't speak.

Qin Zhen thought for a while, pointed to the other side and said, "Go ahead, you just treat Lan Qing as waiting for you on the other side of the Yajiang River." The most important thing is that Fu Tianlei is still chasing you behind. There are beauties in front and chasing soldiers in the back, this motivation is powerful enough, right? ”

Lao Gu swallowed his saliva, and still seemed to be unable to make up his mind.

Qin Zhen looked at his embarrassment with his hands, couldn't help but laugh evilly, and then said gloomily: "Didn't Zhaocang jump down?" Didn't Donta jump off too? Let's jump...... Jump down and it will melt in the blue sky, jump. ”

Lao Gu was already trembling, but as soon as Qin Zhen said this, he turned around angrily and scolded: "I'll jump your uncle!" Qin Zhen, you are really like a psychopath doctor in "Manhunt"! But you're nervous, I'm not nervous! Also melted in the blue sky...... Du Siniang also jumped down! Qu Yuan also jumped down! The result? You are here to lure the righteous to the point of no return......"

Qin Zhen was laughed at by Lao Gu, walked behind him and said, "You are not Du Shi Niang, nor Qu Yuan, don't the ink......" As he spoke, he pushed Lao Gu violently! Lao Gu reacted instinctively, and immediately climbed the zipline with both hands and feet! And the moment his feet left the ground, the whole person slid down!

With Lao Gu's heart-rending sentence: "Qin Zhen!! Your uncle!! His figure also quickly reached the middle of the Yajiang River.

Qin Zhen plucked his ears with his fingers, as if he wanted to pretend that he hadn't heard the harsh scolding just now. But then there was a scream that was muffled by the surging river.

Listening to the pig-like howl, you don't need to look to know that Lao Gu must have reached the position where you need to climb with your hands and feet. Jiang Qi and Tsering worked hard to guide him to continue to climb forward, and it didn't take long for him to finally "paralyze" on the other side like a puddle of mud. (To be continued......)
