Night’s Nomenclature Chapter 127: Depend on each other
In front of a vertical cliff of more than ten meters.
Qingchen asked Jiang Xue to hold the nylon rope and took a detour to the top of the cliff.
He tied the other end around his waist to prevent him from falling to the ground after failing to climb.
This height is equivalent to the height of six or seven stories. If you fall down halfway while climbing with bare hands, you will either die or be disabled.
There are no trees at the top of the cliff. Jiang Xue can only wrap the nylon rope around his waist, then dig a pit in the ground and step in it to gain strength. This way, he will be strong enough to hold Qingchen when he falls. impact.
As Qingchen climbed up little by little, she needed to constantly tighten the rope. When Qingchen made a mistake and fell, she needed to pull the rope instantly to prevent Qingchen from getting hurt.
At the same time, you must prevent yourself from being carried down the vertical cliff by the force of Qingchen's fall.
Qingchen stood in front of the vertical cliff, looking up silently.
Recalling what the teacher said over and over again.
“The cliff looks like an incomprehensible monolith from a distance, but when you get closer to it, you will see the fine lines on it.”
"At that moment, you are like being in the palm of a giant, you can see its palm prints."
"That's your shortcut to the sky."
"That is the road left for you by the world, although no one has ever walked it."
The vertical cliff in front of Qingchen suddenly became three-dimensional. He saw slightly raised rocks and cracks in the rock wall.
"At this time, you just need to turn your palms, arms, soles, and legs into the most powerful machines, understand them, master them, and dominate them."
"Then this road to heaven belongs to you."
Qingchen took a deep breath, clasped his fingers on any place he could use his strength to climb up slowly.
He turned every word of instruction from his teacher into his own knowledge and experience.
Memory, talent, and physical strength are all Qingchen possesses.
But he found that to reach the place closest to the sky, you still need a little luck.
Just when Qingchen climbed ten meters, a stone on the rock wall suddenly loosened, the boy's pupils suddenly shrank, and the originally stable triangular support balance was completely destroyed.
He felt his body quickly leave the rock wall and fall downwards.
The strong feeling of weightlessness made Qingchen feel that death was slowly approaching.
In an instant, the nylon rope around his waist exerted force, hanging him in the air.
Jiang Xue stood at the top of the cliff, gritting her teeth and pulling the rope, and then lowered Qingchen back to the ground bit by bit.
The nylon rope rubbed and tightened around her waist and palms.
At this time Qingchen recalled the scene that had just happened, and he gained a new experience: sometimes the world can also deceive you, and stones that originally seemed hard will break.
But this is not the world's problem. All you can do is be careful and careful.
Qingchen opened his palms and found that there were fine blood bubbles on the pads of his fingers, which would cause stiff pain if touched even slightly.
Jiang Xue poked her head out from the cliff and asked, "Xiaochen, are you okay?"
Qingchen smiled: "Thank you Aunt Jiang Xue, I'm fine, continue!"
In the remaining days, Qingchen failed again and again, and then picked himself up again and climbed the vertical cliff again.
I watched his hands rub out blood blisters and calluses, but the young man seemed to be training tirelessly.
Looking from a distance, on the originally white vertical cliff, after a few days, you can actually see streaks of dark red, which is the blood on the young man's hands.
If it weren't for the special medicine Jiang Xue brought back from the other world, I'm afraid Qingchen's hands wouldn't be able to withstand this high-intensity freehand rock climbing training.
For 5 days, Qingchen spent almost every day on this vertical cliff. If he couldn't stand it any longer, he lay down under the cliff and slept for a while, waiting for Li Tongyun to buy food for him and Jiang Xue. Continue training when you are full.
Tomorrow is October 8th, and school is about to start, but Qingchen feels that the training is still not enough.
If he were not worried that asking for leave would arouse suspicion, he might stay in Laojun Mountain for another two days until the countdown to return reaches zero.
Jiang Xue asked Qingchen: "Why do you want to practice freehand rock climbing?"
Qingchen only replied: "Because once you climb a high mountain, your life will be completely different."
Climbing the first mountain is the first life-and-death hurdle Qingchen has to face.
Jiang Xue didn’t ask any more questions.
For her, as long as Qingchen feels it is necessary, she will fully cooperate.
After training every day, she would carefully clean the wounds on Qingchen's palms with gauze and alcohol, pick out the blood bubbles bit by bit, and clean up the dirt in the wounds.
Then apply the medicine on him.
The medicine is effective for 6 hours, and Qingchen needs to change his medicine again at 12 o'clock in the evening.
When he was going to bed on the fifth night, Li Tongyun suddenly found his mother lying on the bed tossing and turning, seemingly in pain.
She suddenly opened the hem of Jiang Xue's clothes and saw that the area around her mother's waist where the nylon rope was entangled also had a circle of green and red marks, blisters had grown in some places, and there were leaks in some places. Blood.
That was the injury caused by Qingchen's waist being strangled when she fell down again and again.
Li Tongyun was very distressed: "Mom, do you feel pain? Why haven't you told us in the past few days!"
Jiang Xue smiled: "It's okay, Xiaoyun. ~IndoMTL.com~ Some of the special medicine you brought back from the other world is still with brother Qingchen. I'll apply some for you," Li Tongyun said. Search for medicine.
Jiang Xue stopped her and said: "No, he has blood blisters on his hands again today, and there are scratches on his body. He will have to change the medicine again at night. There is only a little medicine left that his mother brought back. It’s enough for one person, let’s not hold him back at this time, you know?”
Li Tongyun's eyes were red: "But the wound on your waist looks so painful."
"Mom knows it well," Jiang Xue said with a smile: "This little injury is fine, and there will be no danger when I travel to the other world. It's not easy for your brother Qingchen, he has suffered so much It’s hard, but we are the only ones who can help him now.”
Li Tongyun didn't hear that much: "I also feel sorry for brother Qingchen, but he wouldn't agree if he knew about it."
With that said, she was about to jump out of bed and tell Qingchen about this, but Jiang Xue grabbed her arm.
Jiang Xue said seriously: "Don't tell your brother Qingchen about my mother's injury, you know? If he knew that his mother was also injured, he would definitely not be willing to apply medicine."
Jiang Xue softened her tone and said, "It's a pleasure that we can do something for your brother Qingchen. We can't let him handle everything by himself, right?"
"Well," Li Tongyun finally gave up.
Unbeknownst to the two of them, Qingchen stood outside the room for a long time. He originally came to discuss the return trip tomorrow morning, but he overheard such a conversation.
The small wooden door of the farmhouse is not soundproof.
Qingchen stood quietly, and he suddenly felt like there were people in the vast world who were dependent on each other.
This is the long-lost warmth.
