In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 148: Rescue from the Cliff

As the local leader, Magistrate Zhang was well aware of the local topography, so he said, "Mr. Qiao, this cliff is unfathomable, like a bottomless abyss. As for what is at the bottom of the cliff, no one knows. It is indeed an extremely dangerous place!

You are just a weak scholar, weak as a chicken, how can you take risks so easily? There are a few people in the government who used to be hunters, it might be more appropriate to let them go."

At this time, Chen Dahai hurried forward and said with an anxious look on his face: "Master Zhang, Master Qiao, please listen to me! Let me go. I have been accustomed to farm work since I was a child. I am as strong as an ox. I have also climbed mountains and crossed rivers. I am familiar with these things. Therefore, it is most appropriate for me to go down."

Qiao Zien glanced at everyone and responded firmly, "My Lord, Brother Chen, please don't worry. Although I am just a scholar, I have also learned some martial arts. There will be no mistakes this time, so please relax."

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Zien reached out and grabbed a large bundle of thick and sturdy ropes from the hand of a yamen runner beside him, and quickly tied one end firmly to a huge rock on the cliff, and tied the other end tightly around his waist.

Then, all the yamen runners worked together to pull the rope and slowly lower Qiao Zien down the steep cliff.

In his previous life, Qiao Zien had received professional rock climbing training. During those years, he challenged countless precipitous peaks and steep rock walls. No matter whether it was violent storms or severe cold or heat, nothing could stop him from moving forward.

What kind of hardships, obstacles, and harsh environments has he not experienced? At this moment, he has only one thought in his mind and eyes - Furukawa!

How is Gu Chuan doing now? Is he safe and sound? These questions flooded into Qiao Zien's mind like a tide, making her extremely anxious.

Even if there was an abyss, a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire waiting for him ahead, he was not afraid. Because in his heart, Furukawa was the one who was more important than his own life. As long as Furukawa could be rescued safely, any price would be worth it.

So, Qiao Zien took a deep breath, held the rope tightly, and jumped down without hesitation...

Chen Ruotong sat on the open space at the bottom of the cliff and looked up at the sky, hoping that his family would see the balloons after they flew out.

But if we go down to the bottom of the cliff to rescue him, it would be very dangerous. The cliff is too deep, it seems to be a thousand meters deep, and even if we go down, there is no rope long enough!

She walked around in the space for a long time, but she didn't find anything to climb up. She did have outdoor gear, climbing clothes, shoes, gloves, and ropes, but she was a loser, and the equipment was useless. She couldn't climb up at all! She really didn't dare to climb!

Just as she looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh, suddenly, a pitch-black figure appeared in her sight like a ghost.

I saw this black shadow jumping down the steep mountain wall quickly. Its body was light, agile and neat, as if it had merged into one with the cliff.

"Ah! It's Qiao Zien, he's here to save me..." Chen Ruotong's face was filled with joy, and she couldn't help but shout loudly.

Then she took a step forward and ran towards the bottom of the cliff like lightning.

After reaching the bottom of the cliff, she stopped, raised her head, stretched her neck, and then shouted at the top of her lungs: "Zi En... I'm here... You must be careful..."

Qiao Zien clearly heard the familiar and kind voice calling out, and her originally anxious heart instantly settled down.

He quickly turned around and looked down, and immediately saw a small figure standing below.

At this moment, Chen Ruotong was standing on tiptoe, waving her hands desperately, her face full of indescribable excitement and joy.

In fact, it is about 700 to 800 meters from the top of the cliff to the bottom. However, due to the thick fog at the bottom of the cliff, the entire valley looks like a bottomless abyss, which makes people feel fear and awe.

When Qiao Zien descended to a place about fifty meters from the ground, he untied the rope around his waist, suddenly spun flexibly, and jumped up, landing lightly and steadily on the ground like an agile eagle.

At this time, his whole body was covered with dust, and his hands were left with shocking blood marks due to holding the rope for a long time. Even his handsome face was covered with tiny scratches.

Chen Ruotong witnessed this scene, and an indescribable pain surged in her heart, and her eyes instantly became moist: "Zi En, you are injured..."

Before she could finish her words, Qiao Zien suddenly rushed forward, opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you, I'm so glad that you're safe and sound! I...I was so scared of losing you..." Qiao Zien's voice trembled slightly, filled with endless worry and affection.

At this moment, his originally anxious heart finally settled down a little, but he still couldn't completely eliminate the deep fear of losing his beloved in his heart.

Chen Ruotong felt as if she was about to suffocate. The tight embrace was like an iron clamp that held her tightly, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She could only cough: "Cough cough... Zien, please loosen up, I'm about to be strangled to death by you..."

The originally warm and romantic atmosphere was instantly broken by Chen Ruotong's words...

Chen Ruotong muttered to herself: This naughty child is quite strong!

Qiao Zien realized that her behavior was inappropriate, and quickly loosened her hands. Her face suddenly flushed with shyness, and she stammered, "Gu Chuan, as long as you're okay, it's okay!"

At this time, Chen Ruotong sighed with worry: "Alas! How can we get up there? Do you want me to climb up like you? Even if you use a rope to pull me up, I am so clumsy that I definitely can't climb up!"

Chen Ruotong sat down on the ground and gave up!

She took out two large chicken legs and two bottles of drinks from the space and said, "Zi En will reward you with a chicken leg and a bottle of drink to quickly replenish your energy!"

"One chicken leg is not enough, I want yours too!" Qiao Zien joked.

"Brother, we have plenty here. Eat and drink as much as you can! Hehehe..."

The two of them ate and drank at the bottom of the cliff, completely disregarding the feelings of the people on the cliff!
