Volume 1 Chapter 59: The Wild Plank Road
We walked up for nearly half an hour before we finally saw the exit.
As soon as I approached the entrance of the cave, I heard a deafening thunder, and from time to time I could see the rays of lightning from the hole.
After going out, a few of us were almost jaw-dropping by the sight outside.
It was supposed to be evening, but it was already half dark, and there were dark clouds overhead. From time to time, there was a deafening thunder, purple lightning that had pierced the sky, and the mountains under our feet had long been flooded, like a scene of water flooding the golden mountains.
At the moment, we can't go down the mountain, the mountain is full of floods, and the rain is terrible, like pouring down a basin, and even the closest place to us is already full of floods.
I'm afraid that the villagers in the Miao village where we came have already gone down the mountain to escape the flood.
"This situation will not be able to go down the mountain for a while, choose a place a little farther away from here to avoid the rain first, and when the Jiao is gone, the rain will stop..."The second brother frowned, and then said: "Be careful later, the road is slippery when it rains." ”
After exiting the cave, there is a muddy mountain, and on the other side is a very steep stone plank road that continues up, the width is very narrow, and only one person can pass at a time.
Yu Yang said that if he walked to this side of the mountain, he would be able to walk into the mountain road where they had seen the mural before, but that mountain road was very likely to be flooded at the moment. And it's not safe to go any further, and it's very likely that you'll encounter snakes, after all, it's less than a kilometer away from the next snake valley.
The second brother shone it up with a flashlight and said, "Let's go up the mountain, I don't know when the Jiao in this mountain will go, it's safer to go higher." ”
The four of us carefully walked up the stone plank road in turn, there was no protection on the side of the plank road, and there was an abyss under our feet.
Later, I had the opportunity to go to Huashan Mountain in Weinan, Shaanxi, which is much steeper than the current mountain, and the plank road is very similar to what we climbed this time, but it has already been opened for tourism at that time, and there are artificial protective locks on the plank road.
But now we are walking on such a stone plank road without protection, and once our feet slip, we will fall off the cliff, and we can't even find the bones.
In fact, we now have to go up the mountain through this stone plank road, which is very dangerous, because the rain is very heavy, not to mention that the plank road becomes slippery, and it will also be drenched on the face, and you need to wipe your face with your hands from time to time, otherwise it will be blocked from view.
And when walking on the plank road, there is no way to hit the flashlight, so you can only hang the flashlight on your waist and shine on the place where you need to walk under your feet.
I was a little afraid of heights, and when I looked behind me, there was a rolling flood under my feet, and although I didn't fall to my death, I didn't know where the flood would go. I shuddered, my legs were a little weak, and I was stuck in the middle and couldn't walk.
Yu Yang, who was following me, shouted, "Third Master Qiu, why don't you move?" ”
"He, fuck it..... Legs are weak, rest, rest... Take a break. ”
I can't speak, it's too exciting to walk on this plank road, and I have been hammering my legs with my hands after my legs are weak, but I can't use any force.
I cursed in my heart for dropping the chain at a critical moment.
I was stuck on the plank road and didn't move, and Dawu and Yu Yang, who were following behind, couldn't continue to move forward, so they could only watch me.
Seeing this, the second brother who was walking in the front was so angry that he scolded directly in Hunanese: "Qiu Yazi, what is the style of your teeth?" ”
I couldn't cry or laugh: "This leg doesn't fucking obey, I can't do it..."
The second brother was so angry that his face turned pale, but he had no choice but to stop and wait for me, so the four of us were hung on the plank road and drenched in the rain, and the wind blew so sour, not to mention how exciting.
I think it was the most humiliating of my career.
After a while, it was completely dark, and suddenly a dark wind hung up, blowing very evilly, and I was almost blown down without standing firmly. Hao Hang clasped the groove on the mountain wall with his fingers, and his fingers instantly bled out because he was too hard, and his nails were broken.
Second brother, they were also blown by this evil wind and almost fell, Yu Yang didn't catch it, his body leaned back, Dawu and I hurriedly reached out to pull him, but it was still a step too late.
I grabbed the air, Dawu pounced forward, and half of his body was hanging outside the plank road, but fortunately he grabbed one of Yu Yang's legs. Yu Yang's body slammed into the mountain wall, and the two of them held it in a very dangerous posture.
I was frightened by this sudden change and was covered in a cold sweat, and when I completely reacted, I hurried to pull Dawu, Dawu's arm strength was very good, and he grabbed Yu Yang's leg tightly, but the green tendons on his forehead had already burst out.
"Third Master Qiu, don't worry about pulling me first, take the rope from the bag, and then take the pitons, quickly!" Dawu said, in order to prevent Yu Yang from sliding again, he directly wrapped his leg with both hands, and hooked the raised stone on the plank road with his own leg.
I wasn't stunned, and hurriedly went to Dawu's bag to get the rope, and the pitons were in the bag on the back of the second brother, the second brother took it out of the bag and threw it to me, I used a hammer to find a stone crack and smashed it in, and then tied one end of the rope and threw the rope to Yu Yang.
Yu Yang was directly stunned when he hit the mountain wall, and he grabbed the rope several times before catching it, and after tying the rope around his waist very slowly, he patted the mountain wall, and Dawu slowly let go of his legs.
Yu Yang turned his upside-down body right in the air, and I found that his face was full of blood, and the blood flowed down his forehead under the slapping of the rain, and his whole face turned blood red, looking a little oozing.
Just now he hit the mountain wall and broke his head, no wonder he was dizzy.
"Yu Yang, can you come up?" After Dawu leaned his body back from the plank road, he shouted at Yu Yang.
"Yes..... You have to slow down...."Yu Yang's voice seemed a little weak, and Dawu helped him pull the rope, but suddenly Yu Yang said: "Second master! There's a cave at my feet, so let's go into it first.... Hide and dodge, and then go further I don't know how far I will go..."
Looking down from our position, we couldn't see the cave that Yu Yang said at all, and the second brother took a few steps forward and found that the plank road really didn't know how long it would take to get to the end.
Besides, we are walking on the wild plank road, and it is very likely that we will encounter the possibility of breaking the road halfway, and we will have to find a way after we can't move forward, otherwise we can only return the same way.
At the moment, Yu Yang said that there is a cave on the mountain wall, which is a good place.
"Then you go down to explore first, as long as the hole is not shallow, you can tear off the rope...."The second brother shouted to Yang.
In fact, there are not many caves on the mountain wall, there are several of them above our heads, but most of the natural caves on the mountain wall are grooves formed by the fall off of the larger stones, and many of the caves are curved, and they can't treat people at all.
