Su Ying put on a coat and hat for Zhao's mother, and put on a hat herself, and gave the remaining oil-paper umbrellas to He Shouyi and Zhang Cuiniang, mother and son.

Not long after they left the village, the rain began to fall heavier and heavier.

The rain was so heavy that it was almost impossible to see the road ahead, but they had already walked out for a while, and it was impossible for them to turn back and take shelter from the rain because it was raining.

Today's task is to pass through Yuecheng and go southwest along Yuecheng.

"This is a hole leaked by God, how can I hurry when this rain falls like this, Ge Laozi." The young official cursed, for him, this trip was a real drudgery, not to mention that these prisoners were affected, and they also suffered along the way.

According to the planned journey, they were going to spend the night at a ruined temple outside the city of Guangdong tonight, but if it had been raining so heavily, they would definitely not have been able to get there before dark.

"Boss, there's no shortcut?"

Li Da was also drenched enough, and he also wanted to hurry to the place, "There is a shortcut, but you have to cross the rope bridge, if you go from that side, you can save most of the foot." ”

Saving most of their foot is definitely a big temptation for them, and no one likes to get wet in this rainy day.

"Chief, let's get closer, or we won't even have a place to hide from the rain tonight."

Li Da pondered for a moment and nodded, it is unknown what dangers will be encountered on the way with this heavy rain, it is better to get to the place as soon as possible.

"Go south after the junction ahead."

"Yes."

"Madam, if you are tired, let the old slave down, the old slave can go."

"Mother Zhao, you've said this all the way back and forth, I'm not tired, you see that my steps are much faster than ordinary people."

Mother Zhao was also very surprised, because Su Ying did walk very fast, but those who didn't have anything on her body were not as light as her steps.

"I'm afraid I'm going to the southwest rope bridge." He Shouyi looked in the direction of the front and said slowly.

"What's that?"

"It's not a special place, it's a cliff, just dividing the boundary of the two cities, the front court in order to make it more convenient for the people of the two cities to come and go, so they built a jump ropeway, but later after building a bridge closer to the place, this ropeway is no longer walked."

No one left, and the imperial court didn't spend any more money to maintain it, so it is still unknown whether the cableway is good or bad, and whether it can be walked.

"We're still a long way from the bridge?"

"If you cross the bridge, you have to take the main road, and at our current speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to get there before dark, so they want to take the trail."

Su Ying has no opinion on where to go, she just wants to get to the place quickly.

Fortunately, the southwest rope bridge was not far away, and they arrived after noon.

Su Ying looked up, the rain curtain and water vapor shrouded the cliff, and they could see the rusty rope bridge in the distance, because the fog on the cliff was too heavy, they couldn't see the situation on the other side at all.

The official untied the leash of the dog that was attached to the side of the cart and led the black dog towards the chain bridge.

It didn't take long for a dog barking from the other side.

Su Ying listened to the echo and estimated that the length of this chain bridge was about fifty meters.

Fifty meters is not a long time, and if the iron cable is strong, it is not a problem to walk through.

In order to ensure that the iron cable would not break, Li Da divided all the prisoners into a team of ten people, and added two officials to cross the bridge.

In order to share the weight on Su Ying's body, He Shouyi took the burden on her body.

The prisoners were worried about accidents when crossing the bridge, and everyone was very careful.

"Baishuang, you follow He Dashu and Zhang Cuiniang and they go first, and I will be behind you." When the group was assigned to Su Ying's side, she was disconnected just after she arrived.

Bai Shuang nodded, picked up Erbao and carefully followed him to the bridge, but fortunately, everything went well.

"Madam, this bridge is not easy to walk, you better let me down, although my cough is not good, but my strength has almost recovered, I can walk by myself."

The entire body of this chain bridge is tied with iron chains, and the wooden planks on the iron chains have already been eroded by wind and rain.

Su Ying tore off the strip of cloth and wrapped it around Zhao's mother's wrist, and the other side was wrapped around the iron chain, so as to prevent her from falling.

"Jiang Yang, let me down."

"Lord Wang, your subordinates can carry you over."

Xiao Shen shook his head, "The iron chain is unstable, you are too heavy to lose your balance, I can go over by myself, you carry Ji'er well." ”

"Daddy......" Dabao looked at Xiao Ember worriedly.

Xiao Ember motioned to them not to worry, although he couldn't walk on his legs, his hands could still move, and he could move slowly as long as he grabbed the chain.

"The one behind is following and is on the bridge." The officer in front shouted, and the prisoners who walked in front went to the bridge one after another.

As soon as I reached the bridge, the visibility decreased with the thick fog.

Su Ying walked at the end and looked at Mother Zhao and them, "Mother Zhao, don't worry, this chain bridge is very stable, you will be fine if you implement every step, even if your feet slip, I can pull you back." ”

Su Ying's words were like a reassuring pill, which made the nervous Mother Zhao gradually calm down, and after the initial panic, she walked more smoothly when she reached the middle of the bridge.

Just when Su Ying relaxed slightly, the bridge suddenly shook violently, and the bridge began to pour.

Su Ying's expression was grim, she grabbed the chain with one hand, and held Zhao's mother tightly with the other hand.

"What's going on?"

"There's a broken chain, let's go!" Someone suddenly shouted in front of me.

Su Ying's heart sank, grabbed Zhao's mother, and walked forward steadily.

Suddenly, a hidden weapon passed past Su Ying's ear and flew straight towards Xiao Yan, who was walking in front.

"Xiao Ash, be careful!" Su Ying exclaimed.

Xiao Shen suddenly came back to his senses, and could only let go of one hand and sideways his body to avoid the attack of the hidden weapon.

But at this moment, the chain in his hand suddenly broke, causing him to lose his balance, and the whole person fell down the cliff.

"Daddy!"

Su Ying didn't have time to think about it, so she jumped and pounced on Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at Su Ying, who jumped down, and her eyes were full of astonishment, she didn't expect her to jump down.

Su Ying grabbed Xiao Yan's hand, looked at the water flow below that was gradually clear, and said loudly: "Quick, hold your breath!" ”

In the next moment, the two fell into the icy water, and the pressure under the water almost made Su Ying breathless, but no matter how uncomfortable she was, she always held Xiao Yan's hand tightly, she knew that if she let go, in a situation like Xiao Yan, eighty percent would not survive.

Xiao Shen held his breath the moment he fell, but the icy river still made his scalp tingle, and a surge of blood and qi surged up, and he gradually lost consciousness......
