Chapter 179: Medicinal Herbs
Jiang Ning didn't say anything more, and then pulled the other end of the vine in his hand to a big tree on the edge of the cliff that was hugged by five people, and walked around the end of the rope around the trunk of the tree nearly three times, and tied a knot vigorously. He tugged left and right again, making sure that it was firm enough, and then nodded to Lin Zheng on the side.
In the next second, Lin Zheng jumped down without hesitation.
The vines that were bent in circles on the ground instantly spread out and tensed, Jiang Ning trembled, looked down at the vines on his side that were almost embedded in the bark, and even slowed down his breathing.
The forest wind blows, and the vines sway left and right under Lin Zheng's movements, and the vines sink deep into the stone wall on the edge of the cliff and scrape down a piece of rubble.
The vines shook twice, and after another pause, Jiang Ning looked up sharply in the direction of the cliff, "Commander Lin, are you okay?" ”
The vines trembled violently after a brief pause, and almost subconsciously, Jiang Ning jerked the vines on the side of the trunk.
"It's okay, I've got it, I'll be able to pull it off right away." Lin Zheng's voice came from afar, mixed with the wind in the hollow valley, quite ethereal.
"Okay." Jiang Ning responded, and his heart finally calmed down a little.
Suddenly, the vine in his hand trembled suddenly, and the vine embedded in the cliff was deeply embedded a few points, cutting a few pieces of gravel and rolling down the cliff.
Jiang Ning's heart became more and more flustered, and she dragged the vine in her hand, as if she wanted to give Lin Zheng some strength.
However, this proved to be more than just unhelpful. Instead, the vines were deeply embedded in her palms, leaving traces of bright red.
The trembling continued.
Not only Lin Zheng, maybe even Jiang Ning didn't expect that this little herb would be so troublesome.
At first, both of them felt that the stone wall on the edge of the cliff was not as soft and moist as the soil on the flat ground, and the roots could not penetrate deeply, but could only float on the surface, and it would be easy to pull them off.
But this time, they were all wrong.
The extreme environment gave rise to a more tenacious vitality, and the roots were deeply rooted in the cracks of the stone wall, almost merging with the stone wall.
Rao is Lin Zheng's martial arts, on such a cliff, it is even more difficult to not only try his best to uproot the herbs, but also to be distracted to avoid the stones falling from the sky and ensure that the vines are continuous.
Of course, Jiang Ning didn't know what Lin Zheng had encountered, but despite this, her heart still trembled with the constantly shaking vines.
The vines between her hands were already deeply embedded in her palm, and a little bit of bright red blood continued to pour out of her palm, and the wound was even more painful.
Still, she didn't have time to care about it, and her eyes were fixed on the vines that kept rubbing against the cliff face.
That small piece of vine had become slender with constant trembling and rubbing.
Jiang Ning's heart tightened, and he hurriedly spread the vines in his hand and ran towards the edge of the cliff.
At the moment when she ran towards the cliff, the small section of vines became thinner and thinner, and finally, with a sudden tremble, the vines broke off.
Almost too late to react, Jiang Ning subconsciously threw himself in the direction of the vines.
With both hands, he narrowly grabbed the end of the rope.
The body rubbed by the rubble, and the pain came from all directions, but despite this, Jiang Ning still didn't dare to relax at all, and after her body, the whole person fell to the ground, dragging the vines desperately.
Suddenly, the vines trembled violently, and Jiang Ning slid forward with a rope for about half a meter, and the seat above Jiang Ning's chest was already suspended.
With a slightly cool and humid breath rushing towards him in an instant, Jiang Ning closed his eyes and took a deep breath. But he was caught off guard and glanced at Lin Zheng under the cliff.
Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Lin Zheng was slightly stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he waved the big thistle in his hand at Jiang Ning.
The little purple flower danced slightly as she waved.
Jiang Ning also smiled, the only sincere smile in these days.
In the next second, the soles of Lin Zheng's feet slightly clicked on the stone wall of the cliff a few times, and the whole person continued to climb up with an extremely fast movement, and finally jumped up, and the whole person fell lightly on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning saw the strangeness, but she didn't bother to continue to worry about Lin Zheng, as soon as she turned over, she lay down on her back, panting heavily.
Lin Zheng found that she was covered with dust, her original tender yellow dress was a gray color, her palms, legs, and even her chin were bruised to varying degrees, blood and dirt were mixed together, showing a pickled filth.
Lin Zheng felt a little guilty on his face.
"Mother, let's go."
As soon as he said this, Jiang Ning sat up in an instant, she looked at Lin Zheng, wiped the broken hair on her forehead casually, and with the movement of her hand, the soil in her palm was stained on her forehead, and it turned into a piece of dust.
Lin Zheng said with some hesitation, "Niangniang, this time it was you who saved the minister." ”
Jiang Ning got up carelessly, patted the corner of his skirt casually, and his voice was a little weak.
"Commander Lin, you hurt me a lot this time."
A look of shame appeared on Lin Zheng's face, and he looked at Jiang Ning and hesitated, "Chen didn't expect this." ”
Jiang Ning turned around and limped towards the way back, waving at him indifferently.
"Let's go, it's important for us to save people."
"I just hope that Niangniang will not treat the minister as a life-saving benefactor, and there will not be too much burden in her heart."
Jiang Ning's movements at her feet paused slightly, she didn't answer, she just shouted to Lin Zheng, "Let's go, we should go back." ”
Lin Zheng followed Jiang Ning's steps in two steps, and the two walked side by side, and as he walked, he looked at Jiang Ning's dirty and unkempt face without a trace.
The guilt in his heart was even greater.
After just a few steps out, Jiang Ning paused, turned his head to look at him, his expression was tired, but his eyes were frighteningly clear, "You go back first, don't be dragged down by me." ”
Lin Zheng lowered his head and looked at Jiang Ning's leg, and on the right knee, a large area of bright red blood stained on her tender yellow dress, which looked a little terrifying.
Lin Zheng's brows furrowed more and more.
If he went back with the herbs himself now, then all the people would feel that the herbs were his own credit, and even if he attributed all this to Jiang Ning, he would be mistaken for his own modesty.
Even if Jiang Ning didn't care much about this, he really didn't want to kneel on himself for this credit.
Moreover, as far as Jiang Ning's wound is concerned, if it is not treated in time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Almost without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and grabbed Jiang Ning's waist, forcing her to move closer to him. Without waiting for the other party to react, he kicked his feet, and the two of them ran quickly towards the jungle.
