Chu Tianshu was so worried that he began to sweat all over his body. The sweat rolled down from his eyebrows, almost blindfolding him. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. At this time, he suddenly saw the beam of the flashlight: It turned out that Leng

The snow was about ten meters above and to his right.

Chu Tianshu always thought that Leng Xue should be below him, so he ignored the upper part of the cliff.

It seems that the decline just now was too fast.

The location of the cold snow is on the cliff about thirty meters below the mountain road.

"I found you!" Chu Tianshu shouted on the phone.

"Come quickly!" Leng Xue cried again because of excitement.

"Wait a moment, get ready to climb!" Chu Tianshu hung up the phone and looked up at the lifeline hanging along the cliff. Climbing up is much slower and more difficult than sliding down. Moreover, Leng Xue

There is still a lateral distance of nearly two meters between the location and the lifeline.

It's easier to come down than to go up!

You can use the gravity of the human body to go down, and you only need to use your hands to control the speed. But to go up, you mainly rely on your arm strength to climb little by little. The key is that the cliff is too smooth, and you can't use your feet hard, because you still need to move two meters sideways.

, which requires higher arm strength.

After working in the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission for more than two years, Chu Tianshu's physical strength was not as good as when he was in college. With courage and perseverance, he climbed online and gradually approached the depression where Leng Xue was.

Leng Xue's body clung to the rock wall. She was even more nervous than Chu Tianshu. She silently cheered him on in her heart, prayed, and used a flashlight to illuminate the surrounding terrain for him, so that Chu Tianshu could find a place to stay more smoothly.

.

Finally, about ten minutes later, Chu Tianshu pulled the life rope and stepped on the sunken rock with one foot. Leng Xue tried her best to suppress her excitement, slowly stretched out her hand, and grabbed the end of the rope thrown by Chu Tianshu.

, and then hugged Chu Tianshu tightly, who was hanging on the cliff, and burst into tears.

"Lengxue, Lengxue, calm down." Chu Tianshu felt pressure on his toes and arms.

Leng Xue appeared a little shy, let go of her hand, and then tightly grabbed the life rope.

"No!" Leng Xue yelled softly. The harsh training had cultivated her unique vigilance.

"What's wrong?" Chu Tianshu asked in surprise.

Leng Xue said nothing. She put her ear close to the lifeline, her face suddenly became serious, and she whispered: "There is someone up there!"

Ah?! The sweat on Chu Tianshu's head started to pour out again.

Leng Xue's keen judgment was correct.

Wan Zhiliang and others had already climbed up the mountain and found Chu Tianshu's bicycle abandoned on the roadside. They also quickly found the life rope tied to the big tree. One of the security guards squatted down and tried the tightness of the life rope.

Such a small movement was caught by Leng Xue who just grabbed the life rope.

Wan Zhiliang sneered silently and signaled the security guards to disperse. They each held shotguns and daggers, waiting for Chu Tianshu and Leng Xue to climb up and catch turtles in an urn.

The joy of encountering a dangerous situation was immediately blown away by the threats we faced before we even had time to appreciate it.

Leng Xue's regret surged up again, and she closed her eyes in pain, hating herself in her heart: Why did you agree to Chu Tianshu risking your life to save her, you are so afraid of death?

Chu Tianshu gradually calmed down. He remained motionless, leaning against the lifeline and listening attentively to the subtle movements coming from above the deep ditch. Several grains of sand rolled down. It was impossible for such small particles to fall on the smooth cliff.

The grains of sand must have fallen down from someone moving the belt above.

"What should I do?" The same question popped up in the two people's minds at the same time.

If you climb up, you can only surrender.

Hanging in mid-air is equivalent to sitting still and waiting to die.

Downward, there is an unfathomable sinkhole.

Take a gamble! Chu Tianshu looked down and saw the tops of several big trees. He gritted his teeth and made a choice: going down may not be a dead end.

When Chu Tianshu told Leng Xue this decision against his ear, Leng Xue opened his eyes and looked down, understanding Chu Tianshu's intention. As long as he could get close to the big tree under his feet, there might be a glimmer of hope. As for

Whether there is a way out after reaching the bottom, I don't care about that much for the time being.

However, the current position is still at least thirty meters away from the top of the big tree. The remaining length of the life rope is completely lowered, and there is still about ten meters away from the treetop. If you risk jumping, the strength of the treetop will not be at all

If it cannot bear the weight of a person, even if it can be cushioned by branches and leaves, it will result in death or serious injury.

"Leng Xue, give me the dagger." Chu Tianshu suddenly had an idea.

Leng Xue hesitated and asked: "What do you want to do?"

"Climb up!"

"No, you are going to die!" Leng Xue firmly disagreed. She said eagerly: "They have guns and knives in their hands. As soon as you show up, they can kill you easily without waiting for you to shoot."

.”

Chu Tianshu smiled and shook his head.

There was a ripple in Leng Xue's heart involuntarily. He could still laugh at this critical moment of life and death, just like the first time he saw her in Dangui Piaoxiang. He smiled so easily and confidently, with a little bit of laughter.

Proud and weird.

Chu Tianshu was close to Leng Xue's face, and the thick manly breath made Leng Xue's heart beat fast.

"I pretended not to know anything and climbed up slowly. When I was almost to the top, I would cut the life rope..."

Leng Xue covered his mouth: "You want to do it? That way you will fall to pieces."

"I won't do it, huh?" Chu Tianshu said, imitating Leng Xue's Northeastern accent: "If you fix the life rope on the corner of the rock, won't I be able to fall in? Now that most of the rope is down, we can go down.

Up the big tree, and then down the big tree to the bottom of the valley, do you understand?"

"This... is too risky." Leng Xue marveled at Chu Tianshu's bold idea. This is probably the only option available now that there is no other way. However, he suddenly fell nearly thirty years from a high altitude.

Mi, if you don't control it well and hit a rock, your blood and flesh will fly everywhere and you will die a violent death.

However, as long as the life rope can be dropped, the cold snow on the rock can completely use the length of the rope to get to the bottom of the valley, and there may be hope of survival.

Chu Tianshu was gambling with his life, so that Leng Xue could gain life.

"Let me come, my skills are better than yours." Leng Xue held back her tears, she wanted to leave her hope of life to Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu smiled faintly again: "Leng Xue, I really don't want to compete with you, but look, can we exchange places?"

Indeed, the small space recessed in the cliff can only accommodate one person. It is almost an impossible task for the two of them to exchange places.

Leng Xue's tears welled up again. She held Chu Tianshu's face, put her lips on his, and gave him a passionate kiss.

Chu Tianshu turned away and said: "Leng Xue, you tie the rope tightly, I'll go up."

Leng Xue pressed her body as close to the cliff as possible and wrapped the remaining ten meters of life rope around a protruding corner of the rock. In order to prevent slipping, she dug a shallow groove with a dagger and pulled the rope head tightly.

In hand.

After doing all this, she nodded to Chu Tianshu with tears in her eyes.

Chu Tianshu climbed up little by little again. When he encountered small branches, he wrapped the life rope around it a few times. Of course, these small branches were not enough to bear the weight of a person, but the rope would be cut later.

After that, the speed of the body's fall can be somewhat slowed down.

After climbing about twenty meters, the people above could almost hear Chu Tianshu's breathing. They were waiting with weapons in hand, and only some of them would throw themselves into the trap.

But they never expected that just when they were preparing to capture him alive, the rope suddenly broke, and the end of the rope tied to the big tree threw Lao Gao.

Chu Tianshu fell rapidly.

Due to his mental preparation and the fact that the rope was constantly being pulled by small branches, the speed of the fall was slowed down at the beginning. This also allowed Chu Tianshu to maintain a posture facing the cliff, holding the lifeline tightly with his left hand and holding the lifeline with his right hand.

The dagger scratched across the smooth rock surface, splashing out a string of sparks, which also effectively reduced the acceleration of the fall.

Despite this, Chu Tianshu's body was still rubbing and colliding against the cliff. He completely forgot about the pain. There was only one thought in his mind, hold on, must hold on!

Falling, falling, falling faster and faster.

The wind blew past Chu Tianshu's ears.

Passing near where Leng Xue was, Leng Xue covered her mouth and sobbed.

Chu Tianshu touched the treetop, and his face and body hurt from being hung by the branches, but the speed of his fall slowed down a lot.

Finally, the rope tightened suddenly, and Chu Tianshu hit the cliff heavily. He felt a heartbreaking pain in his left thigh. The injured part was attacked by a branch, and blood flowed like a profuse stream.

Chu Tianshu felt dizzy for a while, but his willpower supported him to endure the pain. He shook his body a little and felt that except for his thigh, he didn't seem to be seriously injured.

The dagger in his right hand is still there, and the backpack on his body is still there, but his clothes are torn and his cell phone has flown away at some point.

He held the lifeline with his left hand and tried to find a stronger branch with his right foot. He loosened his left hand slightly, and after making sure it was firmly planted, he found another branch, straddled it with his legs spread, and put away the dagger.

After entering the backpack, he shook the life rope vigorously to tell Leng Xue above that he was still alive.

Leng Xue also gently shook the slackened lifeline.

Without mobile phone contact, we can only rely on this most primitive way to communicate information.

The security guard on the top of the cliff fired another shot, but he didn't aim. The bullets flew down from the branches, once again startling a large group of birds resting in the big trees. They flew up and rushed over like an overwhelming force.

night sky.

Leng Xue slid down the life rope quickly, and the rope embedded in the rock crevices made a clicking sound. When she approached the treetop, the life rope suddenly broke. Leng Xue subconsciously screamed, and her body moved directly towards Chu Tian.
Chapter completed!
