Chapter 123: Skydiving
As I looked at the small planes parked on the tarmac, I finally knew what she was going to do with me.
Obviously, it's skydiving!
I don't have a fear of heights, but I'm not prepared at all, and I haven't played this kind of thrilling program.
Not to mention skydiving, even bungee jumping I haven't even played before.
"I said Xu Na, the place you brought me here is to take me to skydive?"
"Yes! Aren't you excited? ”
"I haven't even played bungee jumping, wouldn't it be too ...... to play this?"
Before I finished speaking, Xu Na interrupted me: "It's okay, Brother Lu, let me tell you, this is very cool, I guarantee that you want to jump a second time after jumping once." ”
"Can I say no?"
"No, I've paid for it."
I looked at her speechlessly and said, "Did you endorse my opinion?" ”
"I'm asking for your opinion right now!"
"Then I don't agree, can I get the money back?"
"Obviously, no."
I looked up, looked at a plane that had just taken off, gasped, and said, "How much is it to play this?" ”
"It's not expensive, it's only two thousand five per person."
I really didn't choke on my own saliva, I know it's not cheap, but two thousand five per person is really a bit too much.
I asked Xu Na again, "Can't you really return this money?" ”
"I really can't refund, people have full appointments every day, do you think you can refund?"
"But I really haven't jumped an umbrella, I'm cowardly."
"It's okay, it's just a little scary when you get out of the cabin, and everything else is fine."
I was fooled by Xu Na into the skydiving base, and then followed a staff member to sign various agreements inside.
Then another skydiving instructor came and temporarily taught us the correct posture for skydiving.
Finally, with the gear on, we were taken to the tarmac and ready to board.
The whole process felt like I was in a state of dissociation, or I could say that there was no state at all.
It wasn't until the moment I boarded the plane that I really realized that I was about to skydive.
Xu Na has always been excited, she can't wait to fly higher and parachute, and she has been applying to the captain for altitude again.
In the end, she really succeeded in applying, the original height was 4000 meters, and she applied for 5000 meters.
I really obeyed her, the sixth child, and I was really wronged.
The plane kept going up steadily, and the skydiving base, which had just taken off, became smaller and smaller in my line of sight, and finally became a small dot.
It was the first time I was afraid of flying, even fearful.
Looking at the higher and higher altitudes, my legs were a little weak, and my heart began to beat faster.
When the plane reached an altitude of 5,000 meters, the skydiving instructor gave us a final explanation, asking us to look at the center of gravity, tilt our heads close to the instructor, and bend our legs into a shrimp shape.
I really couldn't listen to it, Xu Na's state was just the opposite of me, she was extremely excited, and she couldn't wait to jump off immediately.
Probably seeing that I was nervous, Xu Na suddenly took my hand and said as if encouraging: "Brother Lu, don't be afraid! There's nothing dangerous about it, just enjoy it. ”
I know the odds of danger are not as good as the chances of being dangerous on the road by car, but the nervousness is not because of the danger but because of the fear of heights.
She continued to say to me: "If you are still afraid, you just think about the dead love between you and Yu Huan, don't believe you are still afraid?" ”
Xu Na's words really hit my heart, I don't know why, I suddenly wasn't so afraid.
It seems that even death can't compare to the broken relationship between me and Yu Huan, so what are you afraid of parachuting?
The moment the cabin door opened, the moment the cold wind blew in from high altitude, I was very awake again.
It seems that since the day I divorced Yu Huan, I have been dead.
Xu Na and her skydiving instructor were already sitting at the hatch, and at the moment when she was about to jump, she turned around and shouted at me, "Brother Lu, come on!" ”
I smiled at her, and the next moment, she jumped.
I was already numb and was taken to the hatch by the skydiving instructor in the numbness.
Facing the wind, the coach whispered in my ear and asked, "Are you ready?" We're going to jump. ”
"Ready!" I replied very simply.
In an instant, the instructor jumped off the plane with me.
A strong sense of weightlessness followed, and in just a moment, when I opened my eyes, the whole world was beneath me.
It was a feeling of freedom, of pleasure!
After a period of free fall, the instructor opened the parachute, and the speed of the descent became slow, and he could clearly hear the wind in his ears, see the clouds in the sky, and the endless mountains below......
It took about seven or eight minutes until I landed, and in this short seven or eight minutes, I felt like I had experienced a rebirth.
The moment my feet hit the ground, I suddenly understood why Xu Na had taken me to skydive.
She probably wanted to help me decompress in this way, so that I could complete a rebirth.
During this time, I was very depressed, as if there was a knot in my heart that I could never untie.
Now it's okay, and the mood is suddenly brighter.
At the moment when I was floating in the sky, I felt that human beings were really too insignificant before nature.
And those messy emotions, it's even more insignificant.
……
I met Xu Na at the exit, and she was still excited, and ran to me and patted me on the shoulder.
"Brother Lu, how do you feel?"
"Very good."
"Right? I've said it all, it's not scary, do you want to play it again? ”
"If you play again, do you have to pay again?"
"Of course!"
I didn't think about it and shook my head and said, "That's not going to play, it's too expensive to jump once every two thousand and a half." ”
Xu Na said very generously: "It's okay, as long as you want to play, jump ten times, Sister Na can afford it." ”
I smiled and said, "Forget it, I've already experienced it, okay." ”
"Okay, let's go."
After leaving the parachuting base, Xu Na drove to Liangping County again, saying that she would take me to eat Liangping's special Zhang duck.
You really don't have to think about what to do next, because there are always endless games to play and endless food to eat.
"Brother Lu, how does it feel to skydive? Isn't it a thief? Xu Na asked me as she drove.
"Well, it's okay, no wonder those rich people like to skydive."
"Next time, I'll take you to Hainan for diving, it's also very cool."
"Are you going to take me to heaven and earth?"
"Haha, that's pretty much what it means."
Xu Na laughed and said: "Brother Lu, really don't have too much psychological burden, people, happy day by day...... Isn't there a song that sings like that? ”
As she spoke, she sang: "Life is short for a few autumns, don't get drunk and don't stop, my beauty in the east, the Yellow River in the west, come and have a drink, don't stop if you don't get drunk, don't worry about your worries and troubles......"
Listening to Xu Na's incomplete appearance, I really couldn't cry or laugh.
"Do you even listen to such old songs?"
"A good song doesn't care about old age, just like a good wine doesn't care about the years."
"Well, you're right."
She said to me again: "By the way, Brother Lu, why don't you move out, just live with me, cook for me, and pay the rent for me, I can usually talk to you, it's better than you being alone outside, right?" ”
