I wish to be a winged bird in the sky, and a twig on the ground. ------Tang Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"
Mrs. Zhang was hugged and spun by Chen Long. She couldn't help being dazzled, but she was confused and looked at Chen Long with a frown. Chen Long explained: "The water curtain cave was inaccessible for my senior, so he had to climb up the cliff to find a way out. These days, I have been looking for evidence that my senior climbed the cliff, and I didn't expect to finally find it behind this waterfall! This proves that climbing You can find a way out by going up this cliff and climbing over the mountains behind!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was also happy, but also sad. She thought that Brother Chen is a dragon among men, how could he be willing to die here? One day we will separate. On the surface, he smiled happily and said, "Brother Chen, you can finally go out." But there was a hint of sadness in his words.
Chen Longzheng was very excited about his plan to cross the mountain, unaware of the pain of the beautiful women around him. She said with a smile: "Taohua, help me call Liu Li and the others to discuss climbing the cliff." Taohua Shiran turned around. As soon as he turned around, his face was already filled with tears, and he was afraid that Chen Long would see it. , not daring to wipe his face with his sleeves, just letting his tears fall, dripping on the bluestone moss, turning into dew.
Chen Long rubbed his hands and returned to the hut by the lake, thinking about how to prepare climbing equipment. After meditating for a while, he decided to make some wooden wedges first. I selected some strong firewood and started cutting it with the Qinglong Dagger. What was cut out were wooden wedges seven or eight inches long and flat at one end. In the blink of an eye, they were piled into a small pile next to Chen Long. At this time, Liu Li's voice sounded: "Brother Chen, what are you doing?" He looked up and saw Liu Li, Erdan and the others coming.
Chen Long waved to them and asked them to sit down. He stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, today I found evidence that the senior climbed the cliff, proving that the way out is on that mountain." Liu Li and the others listened. They all got excited, Liu Li said: "Brother, just tell us how to prepare."
Chen Long said: "Liu Li, please mobilize the manpower. I need several bundles of long ropes of at least several hundred feet, two wooden mallets, a good bow, a pot of bamboo arrows, a water bag and a safety helmet. Look, this It's the rock wedge I made." After saying that, he showed the wooden wedge to everyone, explaining that it was inserted into the cracks in the rock to support feet, and everyone praised it. "Er Dan, San Dan, Liu Mang, Tao Hua, and I will survey the terrain and find the most suitable rock climbing location." After Chen Long gave the instructions, he immediately set off with a few people. Liu Li immediately returned to the village, mobilized all the little-footed old ladies and middle-aged women, prepared a lot of hemp, rattan, kudzu and other items, and began to twist the long rope without lifting it.
Shan said that Chen Long and his team had climbed in front of the cliff for many days and finally determined a suitable route for rock climbing. That mountain wall seemed slightly lower than other places, and there was an obvious groove and more rock cracks. It seemed that it would be easier to climb. But winter was in full swing, and the weather on the mountain was expected to be changeable, making it too difficult to climb, so the date for rock climbing was set at the end of winter and the coming of spring.
In the past few days, Mrs. Zhang was depressed and forced to smile. Chen Long had already realized it. However, what he had done was really too dangerous, and there was a possibility that he would never get back. How could he be willing to let Mrs. Zhang take the risk together? Therefore, although she was reluctant to leave, she didn't know how to comfort Mrs. Zhang. It was winter in the village, the mountain wind was cold, and Chen Long kept practicing martial arts day and night. On this day, Chen Long was practicing his gun in front of the thatched hut. Zhang took a brand new cotton robe and asked Chen Long to put it on and said: "Brother Chen, it's cold, please come in and warm your hands." Chen Long gently held the cotton robe with his left hand, and felt warm in his heart. He opened his arms and hugged Mrs. Zhang, and said slowly: "Taohua, I..." Taohua already knew what Chen Long was going to say, and couldn't hold back her tears. Lihua was crying and said loudly: "Brother Chen, you don't have to say anything. No matter the swords, mountains or seas of fire, I just hope that Brother Chen can take me by your side."
Chen Long couldn't help but choked up and said: "Peach Blossom, this cliff is dangerous and dangerous, and I don't know how many wolves, tigers and leopards there are on the mountain. How can I bear to take you to take risks." Zhang said: "I also know that it will drag down brother. Brother, can you teach me Qinggong? ? I have learned Qinggong, so I can naturally avoid dangers and seek good luck and avoid disasters." Chen Long couldn't help but be speechless when he thought that Taohua would make such a request. He stared at Taohua affectionately and saw the determination in Taohua's eyes, just like before he and Liu Qian traveled through time that day. eyes. I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, and hugged Peach Blossom tightly like a baby. That night, Peach Blossom was so passionate that she was in love with Chen Long. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that God would arrange it so that she could be pregnant with Chen Long's flesh and blood. How could Chen Long guess what Peach Blossom was thinking? Seeing that Peach Blossom was so passionate, he also tried his best to flatter her. The night was particularly beautiful, and the two of them rolled around until dawn.
Although Chen Long did not agree to take Taohua with him, Chen Long handed over the basics of Qinggong to Taohua. Although Taohua was illiterate, he was talented and intelligent. However, he was busy taking care of Chen Long and neglected to practice, so he did not enter the country quickly. He could only do so in a few months. Jump over a narrow ditch two to three meters wide. In the blink of an eye, the peach blossoms bloomed again by the waterside, and suddenly the whole village was full of spring. Although it was still cold in spring, the sunshine was already very warm.
On this day, Liu Li and Er Dan came excitedly, carrying several rolls of long ropes, while San Dan still carried a backpack. Liu Li shouted outside the house: "Brother Chen, the long rope is ready! It's several thousand feet long." Chen Long quickly walked out of the house and was overjoyed when he heard this. He helped Sandan untie his backpack, and saw all kinds of things inside, including a roll. The oilcloth was said to be for Chen Long to set up a temporary tent to shelter from the rain. The funniest thing was that there was also a processed copper basin. Liu Li smiled sheepishly and said: "It's hard to find this safety helmet. We have to smash this copper basin into a helmet shape. Brother, let's just use it." Chen Long knocked on the copper basin and laughed and said: "Just use it to block it." Rocks fell on the cliff. Now that we have everything, let's set off tomorrow!" As he said this, he stuffed the wooden wedges he prepared into his backpack and tightened it, tried the weight, opened it and threw away some useless things, except for a few long rolls of rope or even It is heavy, and carrying it on your back may affect rock climbing, but if the rope strap is missing, you may not be able to use it enough. Chen Long lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then came up with an idea. He waved to Liu Li and the others to go back first, and briefly told Mrs. Zhang: "Taohua, look to see if there is a strong big basket." He went to the forest to find a strong wooden stake. , pulled out the Qinglong Dagger and got busy.
After a while, a round wooden pulley was born in Chen Long's hand, and Chen Long was spinning it proudly in his hand. When Taohua saw this novel thing, she couldn't help but take it and play with it. Chen Long said with a smile: "This is a pulley. The mountain man has its own wonderful uses." Thinking that she would be freed from this big cage tomorrow, she felt excited and hugged her horizontally. Peach Blossom rose, and Peach Blossom hugged the pulley and screamed. Chen Long thought to himself that he had to comfort Taohua tonight, and said softly to Taohua in his arms: "Taohua, once I find a way out and have a place to stay outside the mountain, I will come to pick you up and I will never break my promise." Without saying a word, but with bright eyes, he let Chen Long carry him into the house. For a moment, the small house was filled with infinite warmth. Chen Long couldn't help but be a little surprised that Taohua was so calm, but everything was forgotten in the heated body friction.
In the early morning of the next day, clouds and mist were rising, and half of the cliff was surrounded by white clouds, like a fairyland. Several people were standing under the predetermined rock climbing spot, it was Chen Long and others. Although there were some clouds and fog, Chen Long no longer wanted to wait. After the long conversation with Taohua last night, he believed that Taohua could calmly wait for his news and not do anything stupid. Mrs. Zhang was wearing a big robe and carrying a big basket. Her attire was a bit strange, and her backpack was already filled with dry food prepared by Mrs. Zhang. Chen Long told Erdan to bring a roll of long rope and some wooden wedges and mallets, and climb up lightly. After climbing up, he would lower the long rope. Erdan would put the remaining long rope and backpack in a large basket. Knot it on the rope and hoist the big basket up yourself.
After the explanation, Chen Long and Er Dan hugged each other goodbye one by one, hoping to meet again when they have a chance to meet again. When Chen Long arrived at Taohua, his heart ached, and he hugged Taohua and kissed her painfully. Erdan and the others couldn't bear to look any further and turned away one after another. Taohua remained silent, and surprisingly she didn't shed any tears. In the end, she just said silently: "I love you, take care of me." Then she turned her head away from Chen Long.
Chen Long had already wrapped himself up, put the wooden pulley on his back, touched the Qinglong dagger and inserted it into his leggings obediently. He put on the strange copper basin helmet, and with a cruel move, he jumped up and grabbed a stone gap, and quickly used the mallet to He nailed a wooden wedge in, straightened his body, tapped his toes lightly on the wooden wedge, flew up a few meters, grabbed another stone crevice, and continued in this cycle, constantly climbing up, but he couldn't find the stone crevice. , I dug one with the Qinglong Dagger, and the wooden wedges were continuously nailed into the cracks in the stone, as if sliding towards the stairs to heaven, slowly holding Chen Long up.
Mrs. Zhang turned around early and looked at Ai Lang's figure nervously, her beautiful eyes not blinking for a moment, until the familiar figure slowly disappeared among the clouds and mist, she still stared blankly. Erdan sighed, thinking that this Taohua was dumbfounded by pain, the previous Taohua was not like this.
After waiting for a long time, a long rope finally fell down, and everyone cheered, which meant that the eldest brother had successfully climbed onto the cliff. Mrs. Zhang tied the big basket tightly to the end of the rope and watched Erdan put the items into the big basket. After waiting for a while, the big basket began to rise slowly, rising two or three meters in an instant. Mrs. Zhang suddenly jumped up and down. After entering the big basket, Erdan was caught off guard and exclaimed: "Peach Blossom!" He wanted to reach out to stop it, but it was already out of reach, so he just stood there dumbfounded. Liu Li patted Erdan on the shoulder and sighed: "Brother, let her go." The big basket floated up into the clouds and mist, leaving Erdan and the others sighing at the foot of the cliff. Who would have thought that Zhang had practiced Qing Gong?
Above the clouds and mist, at the edge of the cliff, Chen Long tied the wooden pulley to the fork of a big tree on the edge of the cliff. He was struggling to drag the long rope up when he suddenly felt the basket sinking. He didn't know why, so he thought it was a falling rock that hit the basket. , didn’t take it seriously, but just pulled harder. I saw the basket slowly passing through the clouds and mist, and there was a person in the basket, dressed in white as snow. It was not a peach blossom, but who was it? Chen Long was so shocked that he almost dropped the rope, quickly grabbed hold, slowed down and pulled the big basket up. He grabbed the basket and held the peach blossom out firmly. He couldn't say anything to complain. He just hugged the peach blossom tightly and murmured: "It's too dangerous! It's too dangerous. Why bother...". The peach blossoms were deeply buried in Chen Long's arms, he closed his beautiful eyes slightly, breathed out like a orchid, and remained silent. In the hearts of peach blossoms, they only wish to fly together from now on and never be separated from their beloved husband again. The two of them hugged each other tightly, and they could only hear the chirping of insects and birds beside them, and everything was left unsaid.
Now that Peach Blossom has come up, Chen Long can't bear to drive her away anymore. Looking at Peach Blossom's expression, he can't drive her away. So without further words, the two of them distributed their luggage and headed towards Yuyu, the mountain behind the cliff.
