Chapter 9: Arrival

In turbulent times, the places that can be entered, attacked, retreated, and defended must be the territory that the big guys have to compete for.

However, this is an era of peace, an era of rapid economic development. If you are isolated from the world, you will inevitably be abandoned by the times.

However, looking at the two uncles whose eyes were full of worship for their ancestors, Lu Ning couldn't say anything.

Perhaps, they all know this principle. However, it is not easy to start from scratch far from your homeland.

Dozens or hundreds of families, even if they all move down the mountain, where will they come to such a big place to settle down, and where will they get so much money to settle down.

When there is nothing to be done, only guarding the homeland is the most reassuring.

Lu Ning swallowed what she wanted to ask, clenched her fists and said, "Then let's go up quickly, it will be troublesome when it gets dark later." ”

Life is always full of challenges, isn't it just a cliff, others can climb it, and so can she.

However, Jiang Yan disagreed: "Don't go up, I just planned to take you to take a look, at most stay here for one night, tomorrow you will go back to find Li Jie, and then go to Yuecheng." ”

There are two earthen houses at the bottom of the cliff, which are temporary resting places for the villagers. If you don't have time to go up the cliff, you will stay here for one night and leave the next day.

It was well stocked with groceries and was more than enough for them to stay one night.

His original intention was just to let Lu Ning come over and take a look, and he didn't want her to go up.

Besides, it's only past three o'clock at this time, and it's early enough, if you want to go back, it's too late to send Lu Ning back to Tuo County first. It's a big deal that he will open a hotel in the county, stay with the two uncles for one night, and come back tomorrow.

Lu Ning glared at him and said, "What are you talking about, you're here, then you must go and see, I'll go back in two days." ”

Because there were outsiders, Lu Ning couldn't say too much, so he only urged Jiang Yan to set off quickly, so as not to make it even more difficult to walk when it was dark later.

Seeing that Lu Ning had made up her mind, Jiang Yan had no choice but to reluctantly agree to let her go to Cliff Village.

Lu Ning's temperament is not unknown to him, and the things he has decided, unless she repents herself, no one will persuade her.

Unexpectedly, the bumps along the way and the scene in front of her didn't scare her, and Jiang Yan had to tell her the precautions when climbing the cliff.

After making preparations, he took her and the two fellows to officially set foot on the road to Cliff Village.

Although it was already afternoon, the sun was shining over the cliff at this time, and there were no clouds.

And in the cloudless sky, there were two mountain eagles hovering for a long time and refused to leave. They cried twice, swooped down, and then went back the way they came, continuing to circle.

When I looked closely, it turned out that there were four people on the cliff who were moving up with difficulty.

Lu Ning had a nylon rope tied around her waist, and one end of the nylon rope was tied to Qubia's fire waist who walked above her. The other end was tied to Jiang Yan, who was walking behind her, and Ji Wu'a Niu's waist behind Jiang Yan.

The two fellows were escorting Lu Ning and Jiang Yan to climb the cliff with vines.

This situation and this scene made Lu Ning suddenly think of a sentence: "There is no road on the ground, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road." ”

Where they are walking now, there is a cliff.

The feet are either protruding stones, or wooden strips tied with ropes, or wooden stakes and stairs nailed by themselves.

On both sides, there are rope handrails made of several vines and nylon ropes.

Before coming here, Lu Ning had never known that such a place existed, let alone that the place where Jiang Yan taught was actually on it.

Even Jiang Yan, who walked this road for the third time, still felt scared.

It can be seen that the villagers here all go up and down the mountain through this cliff road, but I don't know how many people have been sacrificed on this road.

Lu Ning looked down at the cliff below, and then looked up at the mountain eagle who was waiting for them to fall off the cliff, and an inexplicable fighting spirit ignited in his heart.

Ji Wu Aniu behind him looked at Lu Ning who was looking around, thinking that she was scared, so he couldn't help but smile honestly and said, "Teacher Lu, don't worry, I haven't dropped anyone in the past two years." ”

Lu Ning's body stiffened, no one has fallen in the past two years, which means that there really was two years ago? Thinking so, she also raised this question.

Ji Wu Ah Niu sighed and said, "Yes, some children are small, and their feet are sparkling when they are scared when they walk for the first time. Some not only fell by themselves, but also fell with adults. There are also those who protect children and adults fall. There are also old people who carry them down the mountain to see a doctor, and one of them does not step on it and falls. ”

If you are lucky, you will lose one person, and if you are unlucky, you will have two lives.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the old people and children on the mountain do not go down the mountain.

Because there are so many accidents, the village has stipulated that people who walk this road for the first time must be accompanied by two young men.

Not only that, but it will also be tied to a rope one after the other to protect the person who walks for the first time.

Of course, the above is only for people in this village. And volunteer teachers like Jiang Yan, every time they go out, the village will arrange someone to accompany them.

First, he is responsible for the volunteer teachers, and secondly, he is also responsible for the children in the village. After all, there are very few teachers who are willing to stay in Cliff Village to teach, and it is the responsibility and obligation of the village to protect their personal safety.

Although she had expected it, Lu Ning was still silent, such a result was something she didn't expect.

At this moment, she seemed to understand the meaning of the three branches and one support, and even more understood the meaning of Jiang Yan's insistence on teaching.

is also deeply touched, as well as Jiang Yan.

When he came before, he just followed his fellow villagers silently and didn't ask anything.

He originally thought that his conditions were already difficult and bitter enough, but he didn't expect that there were so many difficult and bitter things than him.

He didn't doubt whether his choice to teach was correct, but he doubted that he wouldn't be able to give Lu Ning a future.

Thinking of Lu Ning's mother's objections, he fell into a short period of contemplation, and then immediately came to his senses and focused on escorting Lu Ning to the cliff village to climb.

The group climbed up for half an hour before reaching the top of the cliff.

Lu Ning gritted her teeth and followed Qu Bi'ahuo, and climbed directly to the top with all her might, and then sat on the top of the mountain to take a breath.

Jiang Yan sat beside her and rubbed her sore legs for her.

Ji Wu Aniu, who came up later, couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Teacher Lu is really amazing, he climbed the cliff without his legs being weak." ”

Women don't let them have eyebrows, such women, they all admire them from the bottom of their hearts.

Lu Ning smiled shyly and said modestly: "Uncle Niu has won the award, I'm just bolder." ”

If you are more timid, I am afraid that it will directly become the ration of the mountain eagle.

Besides, of course, her legs are weak, but reality does not allow her to hold back, so she can only grit her teeth and persevere.

"Teacher Lu is humble." Ji Wu Niu said, "Okay, let's go first, the two teachers go around by themselves, just remember to go back to the dormitory before dark." ”
