When the second uncle saw my appearance, he hurriedly asked, "Eldest nephew, what's wrong with you, your face suddenly became so ugly." ”

I took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, it's a little uncomfortable." ”

The second uncle frowned, "Uncomfortable? Since when? ”

I pointed to the rope, "That's when I looked down." ”

"Do you have a fear of heights?"

I shook my head, "I've never seen anything like it. ”

The second uncle patted me on the shoulder, "You may be too nervous, relax, it's okay!" ”

The people of the Yuan family all slid down the rope in turn, and even Tang Jian'an, who was still stupid and stupid, was kicked by Lantern Xiao and driven down. At this time, there were only three people left on the platform: me, Lantern Xiao, and the second uncle.

The second uncle tested the temperature of my forehead, "How can you hold on?" ”

Lantern Xiao grabbed the climbing rope, "It's okay, Zhuo Ran, you relax, I'll go down first, in case you can't hold on, I'll pick you up below!" ”

I nodded, and then motioned for Lantern Xiao to go first.

I sat on the floor and took a sip of water, then shook my head vigorously to relax myself. Suddenly, I heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from somewhere above. I was stunned and looked up. The second uncle was taken aback by my movements, "What's wrong with you?" ”

I frowned, and listened intently again, but the slight footsteps suddenly disappeared, and the second uncle pushed me, "Big nephew, are you okay?" Don't scare me! ”

I looked at the second uncle and asked softly, "Second uncle, did you hear any movement?" ”

The second uncle shook his head slightly, and I asked again, "It's the sound of footsteps!" Did you hear that? The second uncle shook his head again.

I rubbed my head vigorously, "Looks like maybe I misheard." "I found that since I was shocked by the sound of the small zongzi in the temple, my emotions are often uncontrollable, I don't know what the reason is, maybe my spirit has also been damaged, I scolded in my heart, uncle, I didn't catch something else, but I made myself nervous!

I scolded fiercely from the bottom of my heart, his uncle, what do you like! Then he got up and said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, let's go!" ”

The second uncle looked at me with a little hesitation, "Are you really okay?" "I made an OK gesture to him. The second uncle nodded and said, "Okay, you will follow me in a while!" With that, he took the lead and slid down the climbing rope.

I reached out and grabbed the rope, and was about to set off, when suddenly I heard the slight footsteps again, and I immediately looked up and looked around, but found nothing. I couldn't help but wonder if something was really wrong with my spirit.

I looked at the empty platform and the darkness around me, and suddenly I felt that this place could not be stayed for long, so I quickly grabbed the climbing rope and slid down quickly.

The second uncle below me saw that I had also climbed the rope, so he said to me: "Big nephew, you follow me, don't be nervous, I will come up to help you if you have any questions!" ”

Seeing my second uncle waiting below me made me feel guilty and uneasy. So I pretended to be relaxed and smiled at him, "Second uncle, you go first, I can catch up with you with a swish!" ”

The second uncle nodded, smiled, and slowly entered the darkness below.

I calmed down, and my emotions stabilized a little, but the uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense. I took a deep breath and began to slide slowly, but just after a while, the sound of the slight footsteps began again. My heart fluttered, fearing that I had misheard, so I closed my eyes and held my breath to concentrate. This time I caught the voice clearly, and I'm sure it wasn't my delusion.

At the same time, I also locked in the direction of the sound, and it turned out to be above my head, I turned on the flashlight and shone it, only to be surprised to see a dark shadow flickering over the edge of the platform above my head.

I was immediately shocked and asked in a deep voice, "Who! Who's there!! "At the same time, I wrapped one foot around the climbing rope to be able to support the weight of my body. Then hold the rope and flashlight in one hand at the same time, while the other hand pulls out the pistol from the waist and aims upward.

But at this time, I noticed that the voice had disappeared again, and the black shadow had not appeared, and just as I was hesitating to climb up again to take a look, a hand suddenly reached out from the edge of the platform and grabbed the climbing rope.

I was taken aback by this sudden situation, but after a moment of panic, I decided to immediately raise my gun and shoot. But the rope that was grabbed by that hand kept shaking, and I couldn't aim again, so I had to shoot two shots indiscriminately, but both missed. I knew I was running out of bullets in my gun, so I stopped after just two shots.

Hearing my gunshot, the second uncle immediately shouted loudly below: "Zhuo Ran, what's wrong!" ”

I was about to answer, but I was horrified to see that while the other hand was holding a knife and cutting at the rope.

When I saw it, I was immediately frightened, and after firing two more shots in a panic, I shouted at my bottom, "Quick!!" Slide down!! The rope is breaking!! ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the rope in my hand suddenly loosen! I knew that the rope had been cut, and that I had fallen along with the rope. My hands subconsciously grabbed around. In a panic, I felt myself slam into something. I subconsciously climbed on it with both hands.

I feel like this is a bulge in the broken stone steps below, and it's a blessing. But I noticed that my right side of my rib side was in unbearable pain after the blow I had just received.

At this time, I saw a flashlight shaking below me, and the voice of Lantern Festival came up from below, "Zhuo Ran!" Where are you? ”

I opened my mouth to answer, but as soon as I inhaled a little, a sharp pain came from under my ribs, and I couldn't shout a word. By this time my arm was already a little sore, and I guess I would not be able to support it anymore, so I endured the severe pain, and with the strength of my hands, I rolled up and rolled to the top of the stone steps, and at the same time there was a heart-rending pain under the right side of the ribs. I couldn't help but scream!

The Lantern Festival crowd heard my voice and hurriedly gathered to the position below me: "Zhuo Ran!! How are you? Where are you? ”

I lay on the stone steps in pain, and every breath I took would pull at the wound with a sharp pain. I don't know where the gun in my hand has been dropped, but fortunately, the flashlight is still hanging on my wrist. I picked up my flashlight and shook it down to tell them where I was.

Lantern Xiao immediately spotted me, "Hey, where are you!!" Lantern Xiao tried his best to get close to my position, "Zhuo Ran, how are you?" I looked up at him vigorously, and when he saw my expression, he roughly understood my situation, "Are you hurt?" Don't move, we'll find a way to save you now!" ”

I noticed that where they were standing, it looked like they should have reached the bottom, and where I am now should be on the stone steps on the third layer above the bottom, about twenty meters from the bottom.

I saw that the second uncle was also standing below safely, which made me feel a little relieved. I was about to open my mouth to warn someone up there was a trick, but the pain under my ribs made me barely able to speak. I had to lie on the ground and wait for help.

I don't know how they discussed, but after a while, two people climbed up and approached me, and when I opened my eyes, it was Wenmo and Tian Laosi.

Tian Laosi asked me how I felt now, and I pointed to the right side of the ribs, "This, it hurts very much here!" ”

Tian Laosi looked up, and then said, "It seems that you broke your ribs, let's get you down first, and then find a way to treat you." So he and Wenmo tied my shoulders, waist, and knees with ropes, and then lifted me flat and slowly lowered me from the side of the stone steps.

During the shaking of the rope, I felt an unbearable pain, I gritted my teeth and didn't say a word, I didn't want others to think that I was a squeamish and useless person.

When I was caught by the second uncle below and placed on the ground, my hair was almost soaked with sweat oozing from the pain. The team doctor hurried over, and after he examined me, he couldn't help frowning, "The situation is not good, it should be a broken rib!" ”

I must have a chill in my heart, I understand that in this kind of place, there is basically no way to treat this kind of injury, I am afraid that I can only rely on patience!

The second uncle asked anxiously, "What should I do?" Will he be able to keep going? ”

The team doctor smiled bitterly, "This kind of place can be walked or not, and you have to go!" As he spoke, he gently pressed my wound again, and as soon as his hand touched my ribs, I immediately screamed in pain.

The team doctor nodded, "I'll give him a simple chest fixation, and then take some painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, fortunately, the position where the ribs were hit is not too serious, and the injured ribs have not been displaced, so don't do a relatively large movement next, I hope to stick to the ground." ”

I couldn't help but sigh, I was afraid of being thought useless, but now it has become a complete burden. I looked at Tang Jian'an, who was squatting on the side, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, I was not even as good as a fool.

The second uncle and Lantern Xiao helped me to the side and sat down, and due to the limited materials in our hands, the team doctor could only use bandages and backpack straps to make a simple multiple chest straps, and then let me take anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers.

After the team doctor finished dealing with it, the second uncle asked, "Eldest nephew, what happened just now?" Why did the rope break all of a sudden? ”
