Chapter 175: Trapped in the Valley

Because it was so dark at night, we couldn't see him when he had climbed about ten meters, and we could only hear the hammer hitting intermittently. And the sound of percussion seemed more and more distant, and we knew that he was approaching the edge of the cliff, and all three of us were expecting him to hurry up, for when he had gone up, we would be mentally sure when we climbed up the rope again.

But just when we estimated that Xiao Lei had climbed up to twenty or thirty meters, the kind of accident that we were worried about in our hearts, but we didn't want to talk about, happened.

I only heard Xiao Lei's exclamation from the cliff, and then from the walkie-talkie on my waist, Xiao Lei's hurried shout: "Hurry up and get away!" Get out of the way ......"

The three of us immediately ran into the valley from close to the rock wall, and then there was a loud sound of stones hitting the mountain wall, and several large stones fell from the sky and smashed against the place where we were standing, making a dull sound, and I could feel the ground shaking slightly under my feet. It's someone from above throwing stones down!

We had only one thought in our minds - to run into the valley, away from the cliffs, so that we wouldn't get hit by rocks. We didn't know how far we had run into the valley, but we all fell a few times, and the muddy water that had not dried up was now covered in mud. It wasn't until we couldn't run anymore that we stopped and gasped.

I felt a little deprived of oxygen in my brain when I ran, and I felt dizzy. After a little relief, I heard a suppressed sobbing sound in the dark, it was Du Hongmei crying beside me. Until this moment, I felt that Du Hongmei's usual decisiveness and strength still had a woman's infinite tenderness and fragile heart, she was crying for Xiao Lei again, not only her, but Sister Li was also crying next to her, which is also very rare, two strong women, suddenly became so helpless at this moment.

Thinking of Xiao Lei, my heart is also like a knife, if he has three long and two short, it is really a sacrifice for us. Xiao Lei is usually not a sweet-talking person, but he is so honest and kind, thinking about others everywhere, and he is definitely a friend who can trust him with life and death. I didn't expect that tonight, in the midst of many dangers, he saved the lives of me and Sister Li, but when he faced such a huge danger, we couldn't help much, how could we not feel guilty? Not only that, but at the last moment, he didn't forget to remind us to run away.

Tears were rolling in my eyes, but I bit my lip desperately and held back from crying, because the two women were already crying like this, and I couldn't "add fuel to the fire" anymore, and besides, I was in danger now, and it was not the time to cry. The most important thing is what to do next.

After all, Du Hongmei is Du Hongmei, after sobbing for a few minutes, she quickly regained her senses, cleared her throat, and still said in a usually calm and firm voice: "Xiao Ming, Sister Li, now is not the time for us to be sad, you two check whether the weapons on your bodies are lost, in case the blind man and that one appears, you must be ready to fight, I will go to the bottom of the cliff to see how Xiao Lei is doing."

"Hongmei, this is too dangerous, even if we have to go, we have to go together, how can we let you go alone? Xiao Ming, let's go, let's go over together", Sister Li also said firmly.

I also fully agreed, I really wanted to say at the time: "Even if you die, you have to die together at home", but I don't think it's very lucky, so I don't say it, I'm still a little superstitious sometimes, in the dark, I knelt in the muddy water, kowtowed a few heads reverently, and said with words in my mouth: "God bless, Xiao Lei must not have an accident."

Sister Li and Hongmei were stunned by me, and they didn't know what to say for a while, and they didn't laugh, so they knelt down and prayed with me, which seemed to feel weird.

In retrospect, I thought it was a bit ridiculous. But I know that it was an almost instinctive prayer.

Hongmei couldn't resist us in the end, so the three of us, tiptoeing in the dark, came to the bottom of the cliff again, I have to admit that in the process of walking towards the cliff, I couldn't help but flash such a picture in my mind - Xiao Lei has fallen to the ground covered in blood, without a trace of breath, I believe that such a terrifying picture will definitely appear in the hearts of Hongmei and Sister Li.

In the dark, we approached the bottom of the cliff with a wild jump in our hearts, worried that someone above would suddenly throw stones, and at the same time worried about seeing Xiao Lei lying on the ground.

With the extremely faint starlight, we hunched over and looked carefully at the ground, but except for a few large stones, we didn't see Xiao Lei. I searched carefully again, and the scope of this search was a little larger, but I still didn't see Xiao Lei - this only proves one point: Xiao Lei hasn't fallen from it yet.

We all breathed a sigh of relief in our hearts, which shows that Xiao Lei may not have been hit by a stone, and he may still be alive. After a while, we suddenly felt that Xiao Lei's rope fixed with an iron drill moved solemnly, which proved that someone was climbing or descending with this rope.

Our hearts shrank again all of a sudden, because we weren't sure if Xiao Lei was using this rope, so we hurriedly ambushed in the nearby grass, quietly observing the changes here.

After a long time, in the dark, I felt someone slowly descending from the cliff, because the light was so dim that I couldn't tell if it was Xiao Lei or not. The three of us, clinging to each other in the grass, could feel each other's heartbeats.

Suddenly, Du Hongmei said in an extremely slight voice in my ear: "Xiao Ming, when I pat you, let's stand up together, you are responsible for shining this person with a flashlight, and I am responsible for aiming with a tranquilizer gun, if it is a high blind person, I will shoot."

I nodded understandingly, Du Hongmei took a deep breath, and then slapped me decisively, I immediately straightened up, immediately turned on the flashlight, and looked for the person who came down, at the same time, Du Hongmei also stood up suddenly, clenched the anesthetic gun with both hands, and aimed at the target.

But what makes us ecstatic is that it is Xiao Lei who comes down!

was so photographed by the flashlight, Xiao Lei was subconsciously startled, I was still smart, when I saw that it was Xiao Lei, I immediately extinguished the flashlight, and then shouted softly: "Xiao Lei, come here, it's us."

Thank God, what happened just now was a false alarm, and everyone was safe, but Du Hongmei was a little out of shape this time - after Xiao Lei came over, she didn't care about me and Sister Li beside her, so she pounced on it, hugged Xiao Lei tightly, and cried again. Xiao Lei gently stroked her hair and gently comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." Sister Li also hugged me tightly beside me, and I sighed softly in my heart: "Alas, they are really two pairs of outlaw mandarin ducks."

After everyone's feelings calmed down, Xiao Lei told us what had just happened.

It was his spare rope, held in place with an iron drill, that saved his life. When he climbed about halfway through, he suddenly felt that the rope that was tied to the tree suddenly broke, but he had the spare rope around his waist, fortunately, there was still the spare rope, and the rope on it was broken, and after he fell a few meters down, he was quickly pulled tightly by the taut spare rope. He hurriedly grabbed the spare rope and steadied himself.

However, Xiao Lei also quickly realized that someone above must have cut or untied the rope. Then, he suddenly heard something wrong with the movement above, as if a stone had rolled down, so he shouted on the walkie-talkie for us to get out of the way, but his life was big enough, and it happened that the position where he stayed had a recessed part, so he quickly hid his body in it, so he was not injured by the stone rolling down from above.

Needless to say, this must have been the hands and feet of that monster and the tall blind man, but I didn't expect that we entered the valley so carefully and in the dark, but he still noticed it, what a terrible opponent. But what's next?

The night was already very deep, and several of us were covered in muddy water, wet, sticky and felt very uncomfortable, and tired and hungry, and the whole body was sore and weak without any strength, even if Xiao Lei's body was so good, after such a toss, he was already exhausted. We discussed it, and the top priority was to take a break quickly, change into dry clothes, and recover from it.

Fortunately, I came out this time with spare clothes, because it was summer, so bringing a few more pieces would not add much burden. It was impossible to take a shower, so I had to take out my own towel and dry my body before changing my clothes.

We found a boulder and erected a simple hood, but unfortunately we only brought one, because of the ugliness, men and women "mixed", and we two men took turns to stand guard on duty, just in case of accidents.

When people are extremely tired and tired, sleep is the best way to recover the body, even if it is just a few tens of minutes, it is very effective. After a few hours of rest, the sky has gradually brightened, and our fears and uneasiness have slowly subsided a lot with the arrival of the day.

Last night was a nightmare, and it was the most dangerous of our confrontation with the blind man, much more dangerous than the hand-to-hand combat at my cousin's house.

It is strange to think that the actions of the tall blind man are generally chosen at night, and we don't know the real reason for this, but one thing is certain - at night, his attack and combat ability should be stronger, and if it is during the day, it seems that he will be affected in all aspects. Therefore, on this sunny day, our hearts will become more grounded.

In fact, in the hearts of each of us, we will never forget the bone pit with silver ingots, not only because there are silver ingots in it, but also because there are too many secrets buried there, and there are too many weirdness, and there is one point: we almost lost our lives there.

The food and water you bring is limited, so you should go out as much as you can. However, after much discussion, we decided that we should not climb out in the daytime, because if the blind man appeared on it, we would be able to fight back with no strength at all, and it was scary to think that you were climbing up a steep wall, and that the enemy who was going to kill you was waiting for you on the edge of the steep wall, and he could kill you at will: he could stone you to death when you were about to climb up, or throw you down to death. That's horrible.

Only under the cover of the Night Tomb was it possible to make a successful assault. This requires us to survey the terrain during the day to see if it is best to climb from the other side of the valley. What's even more headache and frustrating is that the rope we were originally tied to the tree has been untied or cut off, and Xiao Lei's spare rope yesterday, he did not use an iron drill to "wiring" to the top of the cliff, but only to more than 20 meters, and when he came down yesterday, this rope has also been pulled down, that is to say, if we want to go out now, there is no rope tied on it for us to climb, what should we do?

We had been walking out of the valley with ropes tied to it, but now the only means of entry was gone. With Du Hongmei and Xiaolei's good climbing and mountaineering skills, they may be able to climb in the daytime, but we can only climb at night, and we can't use any lighting tools, even if their climbing skills are superb, in this dark light, there is nothing they can do.

Call your phone to ask for foreign help, but the phone has no signal at all, and you can't contact the outside at all, what can you do?
