Chapter 611: The Rope Bridge Between the Cliffs
Just when Aoba didn't know it, everyone in the cute cat café had already decided to go to the place of trials together to join in the fun.
At this time, Aoba and Uesugi Maki had just boarded the plane, and with the plane slowly taking off, they flew directly towards Fukuoka, the southernmost island of Kyushu, located in Japan.
As for the place of trial, it was obviously impossible to be in Fukuoka City, so the two of them got off the bus and took the train to the remote countryside, and then boarded a bus in a remote rural area, and then continued on their way.
In this way, Aoba and Uesugi Maki trekked all the way, and in the afternoon, they got off the bus in a place where there was no village in front of them and no store in the back.
"Is this the place of trials, but it seems ordinary!" Uesugi wondered, looking at a small town not far away.
"Probably not here, according to the map, we are going in the opposite direction. Aoba said with a map of some age in his hand, and the map was naturally put together with the letter of recommendation.
"It's the other way, it's over there, but it's like a mountain over there!" said Uesugi Maki looking in the opposite direction.
"Don't complain, let's go!" Aoba shrugged his shoulders and walked in the direction of the mountain first.
"Hey, wait for me!" Uesugi Maki watched Aoba still walk away, so he immediately pulled his suitcase and followed.
"Let's hurry up, if we don't get there when it's dark, we'll be going to be camping in the wilderness." Aoba threatened Uesugi in a playful tone.
"What?
"Who knows, since it's called the Land of Trials, I think there must be something that matches the name, right? Maybe the place where you find the Place of Trials is one of the trials!" said Aoba with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Well, maybe you're right, then I'll leave this to you. Uesugi Maki thought about it and felt that what Aoba said was really possible. So the first thing he did was to hand over the suitcase he was dragging in his hand to Aoba.
Aoba didn't say anything, but reached out and took the suitcase handed over by Maki Uesugi, and then along with Aoba's own suitcase, both suitcases were all put into the Qiankun bag by Aoba.
Since it is now an empty wilderness, and Uesugi Maki is already a person from the inner world, plus the trial place that is about to arrive at one of the strongholds of the inner world, so there is naturally no need for Aoba to deliberately hide some of his special features.
For example, the sudden appearance and disappearance of the salute or something, even if the people in the Land of Trials are curious, they will definitely not ask for some private secrets. It is even more impossible to know that Aoba actually has a legendary item such as a Qiankun bag, and he will only think that Aoba has some tips for storing and saluting.
And Uesugi Maki was surprised when he saw this scene, but Uesugi Maki, who didn't know much about the inner world, didn't know how great it was to have a Qiankun bag, and only regarded this as another proof of the incredibleness of the people in the sato world.
"Hey Brother Aoba, is my salute okay?" but Uesugi Maki still habitually asked.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine, I'll give it back to you when I get there. Aoba said with a shrug.
"Are you sure you're going to be fine? There's also my sister's personal ** in there. Uesugi asked.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to steal your **. Aoba glanced at Uesugi Maki with a smile and replied.
"Brother Aoba wants my sister's **? If it's Brother Aoba, you don't need to steal it at all, my sister can obviously give it to you. Uesugi Maki teased Aoba and said with a smile.
"Stop, don't talk about it anymore. I'll leave you behind. As Aoba spoke, his pace began to quicken.
"Hey, wait for my sister, Brother Aoba. Uesugi Maki hurriedly walked a few steps to keep up with Aoba's footsteps.
That's it. The two of them, who were lightly armed, chatted and joked as they walked towards the depths of the mountain.
Soon. There are fewer and fewer wide roads, and the roads begin to become narrower, and gradually follow the direction of the map, and there are only some sheep intestine trails left, and even need to climb over the mountains to the mountains.
Walking here, Uesugi Maki gradually lost interest in continuing to talk and laugh with Aoba, and almost every step had to gasp for breath, if it weren't for Aoba supporting her, it is estimated that Uesugi Maki would have been too tired to move.
In this way, the two of them walked through the dense woods, following the map in hand, but as the surrounding scene became more and more desolate, Uesugi Maki became more and more suspicious that Aoba was going the wrong way.
"Brother Aoba, are you sure we didn't go wrong? It's just too remote, isn't it?"
"Don't worry, I doubted it was this way, but now I don't. Aoba pulled Maki Uesugi and said with a smile as she dragged her forward.
"Why?" asked Uesugi Maki gasped.
"Because of the breath, according to the direction of the map, I can already feel the breath of the enchantment more and more, so it is not surprising that there is a large enchantment in front of me, and where there will be a large enchantment here, it can only be a place of trial. Aoba explained with a smile.
"Well, then my sister can only trust your judgment. Uesugi Maki let out a sigh of relief, and with the help of Aoba, he climbed hard and said.
"Don't worry, it's coming soon, it's going to be soon. Aoba pulled Uesugi Maki forward and said.
In this way, it didn't take long for the two people walking through the dense woods to suddenly come to an end, and the two people who had lost the obstacle in front of them only felt suddenly enlightened, but then Uesugi Maki was startled by the situation they were in.
Because there was no road in front of the two, there was only a cliff.
On the other side of the cliff is another cliff, and between the two cliffs, there is a rope bridge that connects the two cliffs.
Just look at the rope ladder looks like it has fallen into disrepair and is crumbling, not to mention anything else, that is, there is not much left of the wooden planks on the rope bridge, and if you want to cross the rope bridge, you can only jump on the wooden planks that are separated by some distance.
Faced with such a situation. Naturally, Maki Uesugi was taken aback.
"Brother Aoba, we're not going to go over from here, are we?" Uesugi Maki said as he pointed to the rope bridge in front of him and said in a trembling voice.
"It's the only way, we can only go here. Aoba looked at Uesugi Maki and said helplessly.
"But this, it's terrible. Uesugi Maki couldn't help but shrink behind Aoba and continued in a trembling voice.
"It's okay, I'll carry you over, you just need to close your eyes and don't have to look at anything. Soon we were on the opposite side. Aoba comforted Uesugi Maki.
"Carry me, Brother Aoba, is it really okay to do this, won't it be easier to fall?" Uesugi Maki asked as she looked at Aoba in surprise.
"Don't worry, it's okay, everything is with me. Aoba said with a hearty smile at Maki Uesugi.
And looking at Aoba's smile, Maki Uesugi actually felt that her heart was beating faster for a moment.
Uesugi Maki, who quickly cleaned up his mood, didn't know if this was the so-called suspension bridge effect, but in this case, Uesugi Maki, who didn't dare to cross the bridge by himself no matter what, could only choose to believe Aoba.
In this way, Maki Uesugi wrapped a scarf around his eyes. Because she was afraid that she would not be able to help but open her eyes and thus affect Aoba, the only thing she could do was to wrap her eyes around her with a scarf and hold Aoba tight. Don't give Aoba a trick.
So after Uesugi Maki blindfolded herself, Aoba squatted down in front of Uesugi Maki, and at the same time took Uesugi Maki's hands and guided her to lie on her back.
Feel Maki Uesugi's full chest squeezing on his back. Aoba didn't have the slightest ripple in his heart, if he didn't even have this bit of self-control, Aoba wouldn't be Aoba anymore.
In this way, Aoba carried Uesugi Maki. Pulsating footsteps walked to the rope bridge not far away.
And with Aoba stepping on the rope bridge with his feet up, Uesugi Maki lying on Aoba's back, suddenly had a feeling, that is, he felt that his body began to shake slightly, so Uesugi Maki naturally knew that this was already on the rope bridge, so the shaking of the rope bridge would be transmitted to his body.
So immediately Uesugi Maki tensed his body, and with more strength than before, he entangled Aoba to death.
"Don't panic, it's okay, take it easy. Aoba strode away and stepped on the next plank some distance away, comforting Maki Uesugi.
"Okay, okay, I'll relax. Uesugi nodded as she gasped and comforted herself.
Fortunately, Aoba's legs are relatively long, so although there is some distance between the planks, Aoba can reach it as long as he opens his legs, and he doesn't need to jump, which makes Uesugi Maki gradually settle down.
However, as the rope bridge was interrupted, the distance between the planks became wider and wider, so even Aoba had to jump up to reach the next plank.
So when Aoba began to jump up for the first time and jumped towards the next plank, Uesugi Maki exclaimed "ah".
"What's wrong, what's wrong, are you okay?" asked Uesugi Maki in a loud voice.
"It's okay, don't worry, it's just that the width between the planks was a little too big, so I jumped a little. Aoba had to stop and explain.
"That's good, that's good, it scared me to death, I thought I was going to fall. Uesugi Maki who was in a cold sweat breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt the wind blowing on his body in the surrounding mountains, drying the sweat on his body, but reminding Uesugi Maki that this was on the tuyere between the rope bridges, and immediately Uesugi Maki began to sweat again.
"Alright, alright, I'm going to jump again, don't be scared, we'll be on the opposite side in a moment. Aoba reminded aloud.
"Okay, okay, I'm not calling anymore. Uesugi Maki said as he calmed himself down.
In this way, Aoba jumped up again and jumped onto the next plank, this time Uesugi Maki really didn't scream, but from the stiffness of her body, Aoba could feel her nervousness.
But at this time, Aoba simply ignored her, and when she got to the other side, Uesugi Maki naturally wouldn't be so nervous, so it was the key to get over this rope bridge quickly.
In this way, Aoba is not walking slowly, but constantly jumping, and after several jumps in a row, he crossed most of the rope bridge.
And Uesugi Maki behind Aoba didn't know if he really controlled himself, or if he was already scared stupid, anyway, his whole body was stiff, so he hugged Aoba until Aoba's feet stepped on the ground again.
"Alright, it's okay, get up!" Aoba, who was standing on the ground again, reached back and patted Maki Uesugi's arm to remind her.
"Already, have you arrived? are you alright?" said Uesugi Maki as if she had just woken up from a nightmare, her voice trembling.
"It's okay, come down!" Aoba reminded again, and at the same time helped Maki Uesugi, who had stiffened his hands, and took his hands off his body.
In order to take Uesugi Maki away from himself with both hands, Aoba also put some thought into it, and the most important thing is not to hurt Uesugi Maki with too much force, so Aoba must come carefully.
In this way, Uesugi Maki's feet stepped on the solid ground, but one didn't step on it steadily, and she almost fell, but thanks to Aoba supporting her, she was fine.
"How's it going?" asked Aoba, who was holding Uesugi Maki, with concern.
"It's okay, thank you, Brother Aoba, I'm just a little weak, I'll be fine in a while. Maki Uesugi, who took off the blindfolded silk scarf, reluctantly smiled at Aoba and said.
"Come, let's go and rest under the tree over there for a while!" Aoba helped Uesugi Maki in the direction away from the rope bridge, and soon came to the edge of the woods near the cliff on this side.
I saw that the woods on this side were no different from the woods on the other side of the cliff where the two of them had just come.
If anything, there's a better-maintained road in the woods here.
And at this moment on this road, there is a wooden board firmly nailed to the ground, and there are some words on the board, but it is not clear from a distance.
Aoba didn't rush to see what was written on the board, but first helped Maki Uesugi to sit down under a tree and let her rest. (To be continued.) )
