Chapter 20: The Deep Valley Cliffs

Finally, he glanced at the two soldiers lying on the ground. At this moment, there seemed to be a trace of peace on their faces, a little more serene. It was as if I knew the decision made by my comrades, and I was happy to be able to go home.

Hong Guang turned around and joined the group that continued eastward. Soon, only a dense red mist was left behind him, and the two unconscious soldiers could no longer be seen.

The person who walked gave up the game, but he was relieved. Although those who remain are still chasing their dreams, they are suffering from never-ending pain and loneliness.

No one spoke along the way, and they really didn't have the strength to speak. The thirsty soldiers picked up the stems and plants in the jungle, made a hole and slowly allowed the juice to be sucked. It's small, but it's bitter. But it can maintain their physical functions for the time being! They are like a bunch of blood-drinking savages, looking for water to quench their thirst.

"Listen, it's like the sound of water!" Wang Chao suddenly shouted excitedly, dancing happily, happier than seeing his wife.

"Where is the sound of water, why don't I hear it?" Everyone pricked up their ears, looking for the sound of water that Wang Chao said with great excitement and apprehension.

"Yes, yes, I hear you! Right ahead! Right ahead! He Yi kept pointing ahead, it was like finding a treasure, and the whole person was a little crazy.

Everyone rushed towards the place where the sound of water came from almost at the speed of a sprint, as vigorous as a sensitive little rabbit, and there was no longer the lifeless appearance of the drooping old man just now.

The sound of water is getting closer and louder. Everyone's face was filled with an irrepressible expression of relief and relief. I even thought about taking a dip in the clear and turbulent river.

Laughing, a group of people rushed forward like madmen.

"Stop, stop, stop for me." The sound of fear and despair reverberated violently in the ears of everyone who was running wildly, making everyone slap into a clever fight, and they could stop the pace of running wildly.

Look at the feet, everyone is in a cold sweat. A huge cliff separating the east and west banks suddenly appeared in the deep mountain, blocking their way forward.

And the constant sound of the water is just at the bottom of this cliff, and everyone can clearly see a winding river lying at the bottom of the valley flowing happily. As if mocking them, he kept making seductive and pleasant sounds.

Wang Chao sat on the ground and looked at the cliff in front of him in despair. Suddenly, in a fit of rage, he began to grab the grass on the ground to vent his despair. Soon, his surroundings were bare.

"What should we do, the road is broken, do we have to go around it?" He Yi said with a bitter face. He couldn't walk anymore, and he couldn't drink it when he looked at the stream flowing under his feet, but his mouth was dry, let alone how uncomfortable it was.

"We can't get around, you see how long this ravine is, you can't see the end at a glance. I guess by the time we get around, the game will be over a long time ago. And we don't have enough body right now, we have to replenish water and energy, and we can't go through it at all. Bai Yu said categorically, his expression was also very heavy.

"So what should we do, should we give up? It's all here, I'm not reconciled! Hong Guang bit his cracked lip, and blood trickled down his jaw. But he didn't care at all, and his mind was all on the cliff in front of him.

"No, who said we were going to give up! Hmph, isn't it just a ravine, Xiaochao, stand up! Look at you bear! You're still a scout! Since you can't go around it, just walk straight from here. Bai Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth and said firmly.

"What? Just pass through here, fly over? He Yi asked incredulously, he actually wanted to say, do you want to jump? This kind of business is not a good idea!

Bai Yu laughed: "The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!" We don't have wings. We can't cross the other side, we can go down to the bottom. Crossing from the valley floor can not only replenish water, but also save a lot of effort, so why not do it. ”

He Yi was really a little panicked at this time, and hurriedly asked: "It won't be that you really want to jump, the bottom of the valley is full of rocks, even if you are looking for death, you can find a good place!" Besides, if you look for a short time for the game, you won't have the face to see people even if you go to the underworld. ”

Bai Yu scolded with a smile: "Be your big-headed ghost dream!" Who said we were going to jump, even if you wanted to, I had to stop it, didn't I? They are all revolutionary comrades-in-arms, I can watch you die! We don't jump, we go down with a rope. ”

"Rope? Where did the rope come from? There's not a single rope in the whole backpack! At this time, including Hong Guang, he looked at Bai Yu in wonder, and he didn't know what this guy wanted to say.

"Nature is always magical, don't you see a lot of vines near this cliff, let's use our saber to cut more vines and bark, and make ropes, then we can go down." Bai Yu looked around with a smile, and had already taken out his white swordsman!

After Bai Yu said this, everyone quickly turned their heads and looked around.

Sure enough, the bark here is thick, and there are quite a few thick vines hanging near and on the cliffs. He Yi pulled hard, but there was no reaction at all, and it seemed to be very strong.

He Yi immediately laughed happily. Looking at the stream below the valley and swallowing saliva, all I got in exchange was the pain of a knife. He frowned and pointed his middle finger hard at the cliff.

He lowered his head, cut off a vine with a shovel, and pulled it off the cliff to the ground with great effort with the soldiers around him. As soon as he finished doing this, he immediately lay on the ground panting.

In normal times, this is a trivial matter, but now that they are dehydrated, this is a life-threatening life. But if you want to complete the task, if you want to drink water, you have to work hard, but no one will have the luxury to help them.

Thinking of this, He Yi, who was panting for a while, pulled up the soldiers beside him and began to pull vines again.

If a person has hope, he will definitely despair until he can't even exert the last bit of strength. As a result of their hard work, a natural rope was soon made with the perfect combination of bark and vines.

Bai Yu beckoned everyone to work hard, and dragged the vines back and forth desperately, trying to see if it was enough. This is not a little sloppy, and when they are on the cliff in a while, their lives will be in the hands of this guy.

With the roar of Bai Yu, everyone threw it hard, and the whole rope was like a poisonous snake out of the cage, spitting out the core and rushing down the mountain.

Suddenly, the whole rope straightened, and it turned out to be the end of it.

Bai Yu lay on the cliff and looked down to see if the rope was long enough and whether it was in the end. But there are too many weeds on the edge of the cliff, and I can't see it clearly, so I can't help it, so I can only let people go down and try it first.

"You wait for me up there, and I'll go down first and see if the rope is long enough. If it ends, I'll pull the rope and you guys will come down. Bai Yu said to everyone while throwing his backpack off the cliff.

At this time, no one came to refute him, and no one came out to rush the hero. The reason is that no one has his skills, and he is an old scout. Even Wang Chao, who is in the same company as him, is ashamed of himself. Showing off his military skills in front of others, isn't that a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

Bai Yu pinched his hands, tried that the rope was not too slippery, made a safety device on the rope with his trouser belt, exhaled, and jumped down.

He was like a fluttering butterfly, shuttling among the weeds of the cliffs. It went up and down, and soon it reached the bottom and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Bai Yu descended quickly, and when he was about to approach the ground, he slammed the belt around his waist, and the friction greatly reduced his speed. The moment the belt tightened, his feet also landed on the rocky beach at the bottom of the valley.

The rope they made was still very long, and there was still a long section that was useless to throw on the ground, Bai Yu smiled easily, and was busy pulling the rope up and down. Then run straight to the creek.

The people above didn't need to look at the rope, just looking at the black spots that kept running towards the stream, they knew that Bai Yu had reached the bottom of the valley, and hurriedly threw their backpacks to the bottom of the valley, and according to Bai Yu's appearance, they all tightly connected the belts and ropes, afraid that the rope would not be able to bear the weight of so many people, so they only dared to go down one by one.

They didn't have the rope down skills of Bai Yu, and they could only swing down slowly, and from time to time they broke out in a cold sweat because they couldn't grasp the rope steadily, so their descent speed was very slow.

By the time the last flood light fell on the rocky beach at the bottom of the valley, Bai Yu had already eaten and drunk enough, and squatted by the rope to wait for him.

"Stop it, go get some water. I know you're thirsty. Bai Yu teased Hong Guang affectionately, and Hong Guang laughed. didn't care about speaking, and ran directly towards the stream.

The two soldiers at the water's edge had just drunk enough water, and were lying on the ground comfortably reminiscing about the beauty of the water flowing all over their bodies. Hong Guang lowered his head and there was a burst of pouring.

The clear and sweet water of the mountain stream flowed through his knife-like throat, like a mother's hand, gently caressing the stinging throat and soothing a wound for him.

The cool stream swam through all the pores of his body, and Hong Guang only felt as if he had been reborn, full of strength. The moisturized lips no longer have the same dryness as they used to be, and at the moment, there is only sweetness and aftertaste. Hong Guang couldn't help but lower his head and take a big sip again, before he was still satisfied, lying on the ground and slowly recovering his body, which no longer had half of his strength.

"Don't just rest, fill the kettle with water. Drink plenty of water, and we'll find a shady place to rest. It's empty here, someone can see through it at a glance, and they don't use us as targets! Hearing Bai Yu's words, everyone reluctantly struggled to get up and slumped on the ground.

While he was still conscious, he was busy filling the kettle. Groggily holding his backpack, he followed Bai Yu and walked through the woods in front of him.

Bai Yu found a big tree and let the big guy rest. Hearing the sound of the bang, everyone almost fell to the ground, and they were ready to fall asleep regardless of the pain. After a tiring day, I just drank enough water to replenish my body, and at the moment I only felt sleepy and didn't want to do anything.

"Don't sleep, everyone, pick the blisters on your feet, otherwise you won't be able to walk tomorrow." Bai Yu dragged his body that was already unable to move, and it was difficult to wake everyone up.

Everyone still had a little residual consciousness in the daze, and took off the boots that had stinked and could no longer be smelled. Because they couldn't bend down, they held each other's stinky feet to pick each other's foot bubbles, and from time to time there were one or two wails, that is, the person who was picking the blisters fell asleep, and a needle pierced into each other's flesh. caused the other party to scream.

After picking out the blisters and rubbing them with alcohol, everyone no longer had the strength, so they fell asleep when they lay down, and Wang Chao even sat and fell asleep like that.

Bai Yu looked at the sleeping group, his eyelids were also fighting heavily, and he kept warning himself in his heart, "Don't sleep, don't sleep, I want to stand guard." ”

But his eyelids were too heavy, and after a while, he fell asleep.

Nighthawk slowly put away the binoculars, smiled at Fang Hui, who was dozing off and sat down beside him, and said, "I didn't expect this group of people to be able to find it again after they deviated from the direction!" I can't see it, but I have a will! ”

"Can you go back to sleep? I'm sleepy! Leave the rest to the pursuers! Fang Hui let out the biggest yawn ever, and the nighthawk gestured in a daze.

Nighthawk smiled slightly, and his eyes looked into the distance of the forest, which had begun to be restless!
