Chapter 64 Mountain Stream Barriers

Seeing Xu Li retracting the rope, Zhao Guoqing secretly cheered for Xu Li.This time it was only a little crooked, but the strength and direction were not bad at all. If Xu Li wanted to throw it a few more times, it would always succeed.

Xu Li tried three more times, and on the fifth time, the rope was finally wound around the branch thicker than his wrist.Xu Li pulled it with all his strength, but he didn't pull it a little bit.

"It's done!" Xu Li shouted to the people in the distance.

Zhao Guoqing was the first to rush over, hugged Xu Li fiercely, and said, "Okay! Okay! Brother Xu, what are you doing? You still have such a skill. I can teach my brother when I have free time!"

Xue Lao Er who followed behind had flaming eyes, but Zhao Guoqing, Xu Li and the others were happy and did not notice Xue Lao Er's expression.

To Zhao Guoqing's question, Xu Li had already thought about the answer.He said with a smile: "When I was in school, I would go mountain climbing with my classmates every holiday, and I learned it after a long time."

"I will learn this ability later, but this time I have to come first to cross the river, you are not allowed to fight with me again!" Zhao Guoqing was really powerless just now, but at this time rope climbing is his strong point, and he also practiced it when he was a soldier. , of course Xu Li cannot be allowed to take risks.

Xu Li was still very confident in his skills, even if he couldn't pull it down by himself, there should be no danger for Zhao Guoqing to cross the river, so he nodded and agreed.

Xue Dashan and the others had seen Xu Li's power from a distance, and they admired the young assistant to the mayor even more. At this time, they also gathered around to help Zhao Guoqing fasten the safety rope, and then a dozen people pulled the rope At this end of the river, tighten the rope so that Zhao Guoqing can cross the river.

The rope kept shaking in mid-air. Zhao Guoqing pulled the rope tightly, and with a push of both feet, the whole person hung on the rope. Using both hands and feet, he crawled to the other side of the river step by step.

Although the distance was only more than [-] meters, the rope kept shaking, which brought Zhao Guoqing a lot of trouble. Fortunately, the rope thrown by Xu Li was fixed relatively firmly and did not loosen. Zhao Guoqing almost exhausted all his strength and spent ten It took many minutes before finally reaching the other end of the mountain stream under the gaze of everyone.Zhao Guoqing stood on the other side of the mountain stream and kept waving happily to Xu Li and the others.

Then Zhao Guoqing, who was a little exhausted, sat on the ground and rested for a while, before he came to the big tree tied with a rope, climbed up to the top of the tree in a few moments, untied the rope thrown by Xu Li, and tied the rope to the root of the tree again. It's a knot.At the other end, Xu Li and the others also tied the rope to the waist of a big tree, so that one end of the rope was high and the other end was low.In this way, crossing the river is much more convenient. A simple pulley is made and tied to a rope. People only need to sit on a wooden board under the pulley and slide to the opposite bank without much effort.

After the pulley was finished, the first person to go was Xue Laoer. According to his words, everyone was helping him, and of course he had to take the lead.Because Xu Li wanted to stay behind and take care of everyone, he agreed with Xue's second son.In less than half an hour, everyone passed the mountain stream one after another, and even the rice and vegetables they brought with them were transported over one after another.In the end, only Xu Li and Wang Laosi were left on the other side of the river.

Xu Li stayed at the end to take care of everyone, but this big old man actually has a fear of heights, let alone letting him cross the river, just looking down at the edge of the mountain stream seems to be asking for his Doomed.Xu Li wanted him to go back, but it was already past noon, if he went back, it would be dark before he left the mountain.Erdao is surrounded by big mountains, and there are wolves appearing in the mountains from time to time, it is too dangerous for him to go on the road alone.

Of course, Wang Laosi also understood the danger, and didn't dare to go on the road alone, but he was allowed to cross the river, but he hugged a big tree tightly, and would not let go no matter what.In the end, Xu Li had no choice but to cover Wang Laosi's eyes with a cloth, tied Wang Laosi and himself together, and they crossed the river together.

To Xu Li, Wang Laosi's [-] to [-] catties was nothing at all. Sitting on a simple pulley cart, Xu Li kept tossing his hands up and down, and soon reached the shore.It was about to set foot on the ground, but at this moment, an accident happened suddenly, and the tightly stretched rope suddenly broke.Xu Li only felt that the rope he was holding firmly with his hands suddenly lost force, and he and the rope fell down together.Zhao Guoqing and others watched the rope fall from their side like a snake towards the mountain stream, but they couldn't catch it in time, so they could only scream.

At this time, Xu Li was still more than two meters away from the shore, and five or six meters below his feet was mud of unknown depth. Once he and Wang Laosi fell, let alone whether the undercurrent in the mud would be If he rushes away by himself, even if he can hold onto the rope, Wang Lao Si behind him will be suffocated to death before he can climb out.

At this critical moment, Xu Li's two years of training finally came into play. Xu Li was in mid-air, but his waist and abdomen were exerting force, and with a sharp flick, he moved forward more than one meter. , although there was still some distance from the shore, Xu Li had already spotted a protruding rock during the fall, and his left foot just landed on the rock, and at the same time his hands clasped the cliff tightly. It just lay there like a gecko.

At this moment, Yue Guoqing, who reacted the fastest among the crowd, had already shouted Xu Li's name, ran to the edge of the cliff, looked down, only to find Xu Lizheng lying on the cliff, and was relieved.

But he also knew that Xu Li wouldn't last long, so he hurriedly shouted to the others: "Get the rope!"

Fortunately, everyone still has a spare rope, although it is only about ten meters, but it is a life-saving treasure at this time.After the rope came down, Xu Li held the rope tightly with both hands, allowing the people above to pull him to the cliff, and let out a long breath while sitting there.At this moment, Xu Li's hands were still dripping with blood. After all, just now Xu Li used his flesh and blood to forcibly dug two holes out of the cliff.

Wang Laosi, who was untied from Xu Li's back, was even more frightened at this moment. He didn't know what happened the moment he fell, but when Xu Li was lying on the cliff, he He also took off the cloth in front of him. Looking at the yellow mud under his feet, he had already forgotten his fear of heights. He just thought that his life would be lost today. Until he was pulled up, he still couldn't believe that he was really saved.

After a while, Wang Laosi finally came to his senses. He threw himself in front of Xu Li, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Li.He said in his mouth: "Assistant Xu, you were the one who woke me up last time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would still be a beast who doesn't know how to respect the elderly. Today you saved my life again. I, my fourth son, give it to you." Kowtow!" After speaking, he kowtowed three more times.
