Take a leap
We walked in the ridge, looking forward to it, surrounded by green peaks and green mountains, towering hills on both sides, strange peaks and cliffs.
"It's beautiful!" The girl next to me looked into the distance in revelation.
"yes." I answered, enjoying a rare touch of comfort.
"Hello! My name is Hetty, and I'm from the Steadfast faction. She turned her head and extended her hand cordially. She was a whole head taller than me, with a slender figure, a light body, dark brown skin, and pretty facial features, and she was an authentic and beautiful mixed-race.
I shook her hand and introduced myself in a friendly way: "Hello! My name is Xu Meng, and I am from the self-denial and public service faction. ”
"I wonder what the next test will be for us?" She said briskly.
"I don't know." Although I am calm on the outside, I am a little bit up and down on the inside.
As I walked, I slowly heard the sound of rushing water, and the mountain became steeper and steeper. As we walked on, the sound of water roared down. Although I only heard its sound and did not see its shadow, I had roughly estimated that there might be a waterfall not far away. Sure enough, turning the steep peak, a huge waterfall suddenly came into view. I looked over, and the earth-shattering majesty of the waterfall seemed to engulf me immediately. The overwhelming curtain of water is like a yellow-scaled dragon with thousands of teeth and claws. They rolled, entangled, crowded, bitten, swaggered, thundered and roared along the way. Suddenly, it rose into the air, and suddenly, swooped down, like a 100-meter sprint. They do not give in to each other, and they are bound to compete for you and me at the moment of "crossing the line". That unstoppable stance was spectacular!
We continued to walk forward with the baptism of water droplets, and finally came to the cliff close to the waterfall, the waterfall that rushed down was close in front of us, and a few strong and burly men sat idly on the edge of the cliff, and they were really not afraid of death! Needless to guess, these must be the staff of the Fearless Mission, who have obviously been waiting here for a long time. Seeing that all of us new students had arrived, one of the old men shouted loudly as he walked this way: "Hello everyone! My name is Abraham. My brothers and I will guide you into the inner circle of the Fearless faction. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a boyish boy asked in wonder, "There is a rushing waterfall ahead, where shall we go?" ”
Abraham stared at the little boy's face, snorted through his nose, and said, "Needless to say, of course jump from here." ”
Hearing his words, the boy was so frightened that he stepped back.
"Only by jumping off this cliff can you prove that you are brave enough to join our team. Of course, you can also stop jumping and turn away immediately, it's up to you. Abraham said dismissively.
"I guess there's got some protection underneath?!" A somewhat stocky boy seemed to be comforting himself.
"I don't know about that." Abraham raised an eyebrow mysteriously.
"Who's coming first?" He continued.
I looked around, and everyone seemed to be busy talking about him, and no one was going to jump first, but I was thinking that I was going to get through this anyway, and it was better to jump as soon as possible than wait here in fear.
Just as I was about to raise my hand, a stout boy not far away shouted loudly: "You should let the people of the self-denial faction jump first, aren't they very selfless and willing to dedicate themselves, right?!" "This person looks like he has a small head and a big body at a glance, which is very incongruous, and the most prominent of his facial features is the hooked nose and big mouth, revealing a sinister and cunning appearance, which is disgusting!
A sturdy, very masculine girl next to him also hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, yes, Quint is very right. ”
I walked out of the crowd, raised my right hand, and said to Abraham, the leader of the group, "I'll come first." ”
I turned my head sideways and looked at Quint and the gang with disdain, and then said, "The reason why I was the first to jump was not for my previous reputation for self-denial or for the sake of showmanship, but because I wanted to jump, I wanted to jump bravely." ”
My actions evoked friendly applause from most people, but there were also voices of doubt, skepticism, and mockery.
Abraham helped me get a wetsuit, the current technology content is really amazing, this wetsuit is small and exquisite, only the size of the palm of the hand, it is as thin as a cicada's wing, close to the body to keep warm.
I got ready and walked to the edge of the cliff, the wind was blowing, the waterfall in front of me was cascading, and the mountainside was filled with purple clouds. Looking at this cascading waterfall, it is absolutely impossible not to be nervous, I feel as if my whole body is trembling, and my teeth are starting to fight non-stop, but the two staff members standing next to me are talking and laughing like no one on this cliff, it is really incredible!
The two of them held me one by one, one from the left to the right, and one of the men exclaimed, "Don't be afraid! The further forward you are when jumping, the better. ”
I knew I had no way back, so jump, I reassured myself that I would land safely. Maybe this jump will be back to 2017, maybe it's going to be 2017!
I held my breath as they pulled my body back like a slingshot, then pushed my back hard and I jumped forward.
The air was mixed with water vapor, whistling and rushing towards me. My body was falling rapidly, every nerve was expanding, and I was weightless like a fallen leaf swaying in the wind, and then in an instant I fell into the raging waterfall rapids, the waves crashing against me, and soon the rushing water swallowed me. I sank slowly, and just as I was about to suffocate, suddenly another village dawned, and all the water around me suddenly disappeared, and I fell into a taut, elastic net, tumbling by inertia.
My sanity grew clearer, and I was ecstatic to see that I was still alive and well in this world!
As I struggled to move towards the edge of the net, two large, strong hands grabbed me left and right, and dragged forward. With their help, I climbed down the still trembling net and finally came to the solid ground.
Before he could fully gain a foothold, a female staff member in charge of recording immediately walked over and asked, "What's your name?" Which faction did it belong to before? ”
I replied, "Self-denial, Xu Meng." ”
"Oh!" She deliberately glanced at me up and down, and said mockingly: "I really didn't expect that this year's "pretender" person was the first to jump down, it's really not seen in ten years, it's too rare!" ”
One of the men who had helped me down from the net smiled at me implicitly.
The previous staff member then announced loudly: "Xu Meng, the first one to jump down will be rewarded with one point." ”
The staff around Dawang applauded and expressed their heartfelt congratulations.
I smiled a little shyly. I thought: Whatever she says, I jumped off anyway, not only the first to jump down, but also rewarded with a point, which is enough.
