Volume 1: The Mystery of Dunhuang Chapter 42 The Decaying Suspension Bridge
Faced with Lou Tianguan's threat, Chen Ghost had to compromise, in fact, he had no other way if he didn't compromise.
But if he had the slightest hesitation, I might have really gone to the West Heaven to see the Buddha.
Human life, in the eyes of our people, seems to be better than everything, but in the eyes of Lou Tianguan's outlaws, even pigs and dogs are inferior.
Ghost Chen's hand compromised, and we were forced to compromise, Wu Fatzi was kicked back again, and he didn't dare to put another fart.
Liu Tingting was very scared, and followed closely behind Ghost Chen's hand alone, clutching the corners of her clothes with both hands.
Dog, he is a very quiet person, he can't speak, there is no superfluous expression on his face, he follows indifferently, he seems to be indifferent to anything, and the hands that fall to his sides are clenched into fists.
Under the coercion, we kept moving forward, and I don't know how long it took, but the tomb in front of us finally came to an end.
In front of him is a cliff with an abyss at the foot of it, connected only by a decaying suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge is dozens of meters long, but the fog on the opposite side is shrouded, and it is impossible to see what kind of scene is on the other side, and it is impossible to predict whether there is danger ahead.
Beginning with Ghost Chen, several of us were forced onto the rotten suspension bridge.
We moved forward cautiously, trying not to look at the abyss, and grasping the chains on both sides with both hands, and moving forward cautiously step by step.
Every step you take on the drawbridge creaks under your feet, the cracking sound of rotten wooden planks.
Wu Fatzi kept muttering as he walked, hoping to get God's blessing and arrive safely on the other side.
But in the next second, the so-called God made a big joke with Wu Fatzi.
I don't know if the wooden planks on the suspension bridge are really rotten, or if Wu Fatzi is too heavy.
As Wu Fatzi's foot settled, the wooden board snapped and cracked.
"I'm grass, help...... Help me! ”
Wu Fat shouted, the moment he stepped on the plank, his fat body fell suddenly, followed by two more planks that were overwhelmed and broken into two, and Wu Fatman's whole person was stuck in the gap of the huge plank.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the disasters basically came one after another.
With the fall of Wu Fatzi, the entire suspension bridge began to shake violently, and Liu Tingting, who was already a little afraid of heights, was suddenly thrown out of the suspension bridge, if it weren't for her holding the chain on one side with both hands, I am afraid that she would have fallen into the abyss and shattered her bones.
"Ah...... Help, help me! ”
Almost at the same time, Wu Fatzi and Liu Tingting both shouted for help.
Ghost Chen's hand and the dog were the closest to Wu Fatzi, and the two of them immediately turned around to save Wu Fatzi.
If it is on flat ground, if this is an ordinary plank bridge at this moment, it may be easier to pull Wu Fatzi up, but at this moment, everyone is on the suspension bridge that is still shaking, and it is also a suspension bridge that may break anytime and anywhere, and it is difficult to save a person.
Wu Fatzi is still safe, and his fat body can't fall off when he gets stuck at that moment.
But Liu Tingting is different, she was thrown to the outside of the suspension bridge, and she was already weak because she couldn't bear her weight, so she had one hand weakly released, and the other hand couldn't hold on for long.
I can't think about it, although I also have a natural fear of heights, but I can't watch Liu Tingting die because of this.
"Hold my hand!"
I leaned forward suddenly, one foot slightly hooked the chain behind me, and poked my entire upper body out of the drawbridge.
Even so, there is still an insurmountable distance of more than ten centimeters between me and Liu Tingting.
I yelled at her, and she pushed her other hand towards me, but at best it was just a fingertip touch, and I couldn't grab her hand at all.
Besides, a man can't hold on to one hand for too long, not to mention that the other party is still a woman who seems to be helpless.
Seeing Liu Tingting stretch out her hand with all her might, but after not touching my hand, her body began to sink deeper and lower.
Seeing that Liu Tingting's hands could no longer bear the weight of her body, I let go of my foot hooked on the chain in a hurry, and flipped down towards the outside of the suspension bridge.
At the moment when I climbed off the suspension bridge, Liu Tingting also powerlessly and completely loosened the chains.
But because I flew in time, my hand was firmly on her wrist.
Although I grabbed Liu Tingting's hand as promised, because I had no leverage, my body also fell down with Liu Tingting.
At that moment, I panicked, I thought I would fall off the suspension bridge with Liu Tingting and fall into the abyss below.
But I never thought that my feet were suddenly grabbed by a pair of hands, and I turned my head to see that it was a dog.
At this moment, I saw a nervous expression on the dog's face, as well as a bruise on his forehead.
The process was long and thrilling, but in the end, Liu Tingting and I were both saved.
"Thank you...... Thank you! ”
Liu Tingting said this to me, and her expression was from the heart.
I smiled and waved my hand at her and said, "You are my godsister, you should save you, if you thank you, it should be thank you dog is true, if he hadn't stopped my foot in time, I'm afraid neither of us would have survived." ”
Liu Tingting felt that what I said was reasonable, so she also thanked the dog, but the dog just nodded slightly, and his face was still as indifferent as before.
"I said if you're okay, can you come over and help, the old man really can't do it alone!"
Patronizing there you thank me, I thank you, I was reminded by Ghost Chen, and I remembered that Wu Fatzi was still stuck in the suspension bridge at the moment.
After I said to Liu Tingting and asked her to grab the chains, I turned around and followed the dog to help Ghost Chen rescue Wu Fatzi.
The three of us, with a lot of effort, finally pulled up the goods of Wu Fatzi.
Sitting on the rotten wooden board, Wu Fatty's face was so frightened that there was no longer any blood, and the cold sweat on his head was crackling.
"Hmph, if this play is very exciting, what's the matter, is it over, if it's over, give me a hurry to cross the bridge!"
Bang!
Saying that, Lou Tianguan raised his hand impatiently and shot it, and it actually hit the already rotten chains of the suspension bridge, and he made a big gap.
Standing on the suspension bridge, we can't avoid and can't dodge, and in front of Lou Tianguan, it's no different from a target that can't move.
Our group was forced to move on, this time we were extra cautious, carefully testing every step we took, and if it didn't feel right, we could cross to the next plank as much as possible.
Finally.
The five of us reached the other end of the drawbridge, but we couldn't see anything in the fog in front of us, and the visibility was already at its lowest, and we could barely see the outlines of several of us.
Turning his head to look, the suspension bridge behind him was also wrapped in fog, and he couldn't see if Lou Tianguan had come over, but he could feel that the chains of the suspension bridge were still shaking.
At that moment, I touched the short knife in my arms, and I had an evil thought, I thought of taking advantage of Lou Tianguan's efforts on the suspension bridge to see if I could break the chain.
But then I think about it, if I do that, it will undoubtedly kill someone, I haven't even killed a chicken when I'm so big, and I really can't kill so many people at once.
In this way, in the end, I chose to give up, such an opportunity was also fleeting, and after a while, Lou Tianguan and they all came along the suspension bridge one after another.
After crossing the suspension bridge, looking at the thick fog in front of him, Lou Tianguan pointed the pistol in his hand at Ghost Chen's head again with a gloomy face.
"Old fellow, lead the way, or I'll kill you!"
Ghost Chen sighed and shook his head helplessly and said: "If you want to kill, kill it, the fog is so big, the old man can't do anything about it, at this time, if the northern faction's touch gold is here, maybe he can find a way out in this fog." ”
"In that case, old fellow, then you have no use value, obediently suffer death, go down and accompany my dead ghost father!"
