The two of them went to the signal tower together. The ground was muddy after the rain, and every step they took was accompanied by footprints of varying depths. Ruan Zhiyou's shoes soon became covered with mud, making them look a little dirty, and the road was a little slippery.
When Pei Yan saw this, he took the initiative to pick up Ruan Zhiyou and walked towards the signal tower.
Ruan Zhiyou looked at him in surprise. After being stunned for a few seconds, he began to break away, "No, I can walk by myself."
Pei Yan looked down at her and said, "Don't move. What if you fall?"
Ruan Zhiyou listened to Pei Yan's words and stopped struggling. She turned her head slightly and said, "If you are like this, you will fall down? And you will fall down three at a time. It's not a big deal if you fall. Don't hurt me and the baby."
"Don't worry, I'm walking very steadily." Pei Yan said with a faint smile on his lips.
He had excellent physical strength and a steady and powerful pace. Ruan Zhiyou was carried by him all the way to the signal tower.
The signal tower is built on the hillside in the southern part of the island. It is towering and the top of the tower is at least twenty meters away from the ground.
Pei Yan gently placed Ruan Zhiyou on the ground.
Ruan Zhiyou looked at the towering signal tower and was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "How to check?"
Pei Yan looked up and said casually: "It may be a circuit fault, or it may be damaged by lightning. I want to climb up and check it, and then see if it can be repaired."
His tone was calm, as if this was just a normal thing, but Ruan Zhiyou was frightened.
"What...are you going to climb up?" Ruan Zhiyou's eyes widened in shock and he asked in a trembling voice.
Pei Yan turned his head lazily and looked at her funny, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Ruan Zhiyou's heartbeat accelerated, and the tension on his face continued to spread, "But this is too high..."
Pei Yan calmly took off his backpack, rummaged through it to find a few tools, and said casually: "Fortunately, it's not too high."
Then, he looked at her with a smile: "How will you know what's wrong if you don't climb up?"
Ruan Zhiyou looked at the tools in his bag, and then looked around at the towering signal tower. She couldn't help but swallow nervously, and said hesitantly: "Pei Yan, how about..."
"Huh?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating for her to continue.
"Why don't we stop repairing it?" Ruan Zhiyou's voice was filled with fear. What if something happens to such a tall tower?
Climbing the signal tower is very dangerous, and may even be life-threatening. Moreover, Pei Yan is not a professional. It is too risky for him to climb up to repair the signal...
Pei Yan's eyes swept across her face and stared at her: "Don't you want to leave? Are you really not going to cultivate anymore?"
Ruan Zhiyou frowned: "But..."
She didn't know what to do. If they didn't fix it, they would be trapped here forever. If they did, she was worried about what would happen...
Suddenly, Pei Yan approached her and asked with a smile: "Why, are you afraid that I will fall from above and die?"
Ruan Zhiyou's eyes widened in surprise, her lips pursed tightly, and she said nothing.
Pei Yan knew the answer by looking at her expression. At this moment, he suddenly felt good. He hugged her and said with a smile: "Youyou, do you care about me?"
Ruan Zhiyou paused, slightly pursed his lips and said nothing.
Seeing this, he kissed her on the lips and comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't fall and die. I often climbed to such a high place when I was a child."
"When you were a child?" Ruan Zhiyou's voice was a little confused.
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yeah, when I was a child, I was very naughty and always did exciting things. Later, when I grew up, I thought it was too short. I also tried rock climbing with my bare hands. My mother said that I could survive. Yes I burned high incense in my previous life.”
The corners of Ruan Zhiyou's mouth twitched, but after hearing what he said, the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated a lot.
After a while, Pei Yan added: "Besides, I can't die so easily. Our family will always be together."
Ruan Zhiyou: "......"
Pei Yan raised her lips and smiled, put her hand on her cheek and rubbed her earlobe, "I'll go up first. Just stand here and wait for me. Don't run around."
After saying that, Pei Yan turned around and stepped onto the ladder of the signal tower.
Ruan Zhiyou looked at Pei Yan's back and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
The signal tower is divided into three floors. As Pei Yan climbed higher and higher, Ruan Zhiyou's heart was in his throat.
She was worried about disturbing Pei Yan, so she held her breath and didn't dare to make a sound.
At this moment, one of Pei Yan's feet stepped on the air, and his body suddenly swayed. His whole body tilted instantly, and he was about to fall down.
Ruan Zhiyou's pupils shrank suddenly, her heart clenched tightly, and she cried out, "Pei Yan!"
After she shouted these words, she suddenly saw Pei Yan grabbing the steel bar next to him with one hand, and stepping on the ladder again with that foot.
Pei Yan heard the sound and slowly lowered his head. He asked leisurely like a normal person, "What's wrong?"
His voice was calm and calm, as if the scene just now did not make him feel any discomfort.
Ruan Zhiyou was so frightened that she almost flew out of her wits. At that moment, her heart suddenly rose to her throat. Even now, her heart is still beating fast, she is extremely scared.
Seeing that Pei Yan had only climbed halfway and was still going up, Ruan Zhiyou couldn't help but squeeze the sweat in her palms tightly. She shouted to Pei Yan: "Forget it, Pei Yan, come down quickly, we'd better stop repairing." "
Her voice was thick with worry and fear.
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, then glanced at her with a comforting look in his eyes, "It's okay, you'll be fine soon."
Ruan Zhiyou shook her head vigorously, her heart beating wildly, her voice was trembling with fear, and her throat was severely choked, "No... no more cultivation, come down quickly."
Pei Yan's eyesight was excellent, and from such a distance, he saw her eyes turn red.
Is that a worry? Or were you scared?
Gee, why are you so timid?
He couldn't help but smile and said with relief: "Don't worry, if you are scared, just close your eyes."
After saying that, he took a deep breath and continued to climb up.
Ruan Zhiyou didn't expect that he wouldn't listen and wanted to climb up. She bit her lip tightly and her calves began to tremble...
