Walking against the cliff wall between the steep cliffs, everyone walked cautiously. After all, the Nu River was rolling below, and falling down was not a joke.
After walking less than ten miles forward, Jia Sidao in front of him suddenly stopped.
We who followed us also had a meal at the same time, steadily stabilizing our bodies.
I asked, "Goddaddy, what's the matter?"
Jia Sidao said, "It collapsed."
I followed Jia Sidao closely, leaning out slightly and looking forward across Jia Sidao, I could vaguely see some of the situation ahead, the narrow road ahead, the washed down mud and rocks collapsed, revealing The place on the cliff wall is no more than the width of the palm, so it can only be regarded as a seam. The narrow seam that can only accommodate the foot is 17 or 8 meters long.
Jia Sidao thought for a while, took off his backpack and placed it on the ground, clinging to the rock wall with his back, put his feet aside, grabbed the rock with both hands, and moved it step by step. Once he crossed the cliff, he raised his hand and pulled the backpack again. In the past, it turned out that the zip line had been wrapped around the strap of the backpack.
We worked according to the law, and all of them passed.
We traveled about 30 kilometers throughout the morning, and encountered six landslides on the way. Some places were even completely impassable and could only climb through rocks. Jia Sidao told us that there was probably a heavy rain in the canyon in the last three days. , That's why it led to so many cave-ins.
At noon, I found a wide pavement, and the stone wall was recessed inward, forming a natural half hole. Everyone decided to eat here and take a rest.
Taking out the food in the bag, Zhang Ling suddenly said: "Someone has been here, come and see..."
The three of us were in the past, and then we saw a cigarette butt on the ground. The color of the cigarette holder was faded. There were two not far away, and there were some in the rest. After counting, there were at least six cigarette butts.
Jia Sidao said: "It seems that the Mao family is ahead of us."
Big Eye said: "Surely so many cigarette butts were not smoked by one person. Could it be the people we met in the ice cave?"
I said, "Definitely not. Only one ran away. If he had other accomplices, he would not drive away in a car."
Big Eyes said bitterly: "How many people did the Mao family send!"
Jia Sidao said: "No matter how many people, there is no turning back at the bow. Since we have all come here, there is a sword and fire in front of us.
The sea cannot stop either. "
Zhang Ling glanced at the dry ground, then picked up a cigarette butt, and said, “The cigarette butt has not been soaked in water and will not fade badly. They walked past here at least three days ago.” He raised his head and said to us, “Eat fast, everyone. Point, we have to hurry up after eating."
Got it! The plan to take a break fell through.
After simply eating something, the four of us went on the road again. When we met the recessed stone wall along the way, we found some food packaging bags, which made us even more anxious to hurry.
Based on the traces left by the other party, we preliminary judged that the other party had dozens to twenty people and was well-trained. Some of the landslides that formed earlier were found to use rivets and zip lines, and they like high-calorie foods. Those who come from a severe cold area have poor living habits, their pockets are ripped apart, cigarette butts are thrown around, they urinate and defecate everywhere, and they have a bad habit of graffiti.
Based on these characteristics, Zhang Ling believes that those people are very close to the mercenaries. Most of the mercenaries have a rogue temper because they are dealing with death all day long. However, there are signs that these people are not tall. Make life suspicious.
After walking on the cliff wall for a day, at dusk, we finally got rid of the "road" that hangs against the cliff wall, and a suspension bridge across the canyon appeared in front of us.
The suspension bridge is composed of four iron locks as thick as light tubes, two on the top, two on the bottom, and between the two iron locks on the bottom. Planks are also laid. Those wooden boards have been damaged due to wind and rain. A lot.
According to Zhang Ling's guidance, we tied a rope around the waist, and then tied the rope to the iron one above, and then lifted our feet off the ground, half-clamping the iron rope, and dangling across the bridge along the arc of the iron rope.
Hundreds of meters below us is the sound of the river, and there are still gusts of overcast wind blowing through the canyon. The taste is extremely indescribable.
Zhang Ling took the lead, told us precautions while walking, and kept telling us to be careful. Are the four of us walking like walking on thin ice, crawling as slow as a tortoise.
As we walked to the center of the suspension bridge, the suspension bridge shook violently, and then the big eyes behind me gave an exclamation first, and then suddenly slipped off the suspension bridge. The whole person was suspended by the rope hanging on the zipline. Hang
In mid-air, shaking violently in the air!
Jia Sidao, who was at the back of the team, said with a gloomy face, "It's the wind! Don't move everyone!"
The cloudy wind Jia Sidao said did not refer to the cloudy wind of the dead, but the high mountains of thousands of meters on both sides of the Grand Canyon. This kind of topography of the stacked peaks and the river caused the wind to form once the air flowed into the canyon.
This kind of wind can only move in one direction. The wind is violently surging like a tide. The high wind blows the suspension bridge unceasingly, and the people on the suspension bridge will experience tsunami-like turbulent waves.
The big eyes of the yin wind blows like a kite with a broken tail. There is a big somersault under the suspension bridge. At first, the big eyes make a few exclamations, and then he calms down and calms down. After a few consecutive somersaults, the big eyes are turned up. I rolled my eyes, and my hands on the rope were loosening a little bit. Looking at the big eyes, I immediately said: "No, he can't hold on, he has to find a way!"
I saw Jia Sidao pulling the rope around his wrist, hanging one hand on the iron lock below, and then a swallow copied the water, raised his big eye, and hugged it in his arms!
I saw the big eyes and face were as white as paper, lips were black, and his consciousness was blurred. He even stopped breathing. Jia Sidao hurriedly implemented artificial resuscitation for him. Jia Sidao first pressed four times on the chest of the big eyes, and then breathed once from mouth to mouth. , Did it a few times in a row, and then coughed lightly with the big eyes, and finally healed.
Big eyes opened, and after seeing us, he was stunned for a moment before he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not dead again!"
"Can you still do it?" Jia Sidao asked.
"It works." Big Eye struggled to stand up, and said: "I couldn't breathe just now, it was like something was covering my nose and mouth. Why?"
Jia Sidao said: "Because of altitude sickness, coupled with your nervousness."
Big Eyes looked at his feet with lingering fears, immediately looked level, looked at me and said, "Let's go, I'm all right."
After about ten minutes, we finally reached the other side of the canyon without any risk. Our body was no longer suspended, and the whole person relaxed. I took a few deep breaths and looked up and saw Zhang Ling standing alone on the edge of the cliff and looking up. Heaven, I also raised my head subconsciously, the white clouds in the sky seemed to be within reach.
But at this moment, Zhang Ling turned around and walked back, saying, "The sky may change, let's go."
