"More than two hours." Mingzhang took them to the left for a while, and stopped beside the steep slope leading down the mountain. The light from the flashlight illuminated circles of U-shaped iron rings embedded in the stone wall.

He knelt down and grabbed the rope tied to the U-shaped iron ring: "If you want to detour, you can only go down here."

"It's so steep." Chi Yunyan pulled back the rope in his hand vigorously to test its firmness: "If you step on the air and don't hold on to the rope firmly, wouldn't you be smashed into meat?"

"The distance between each iron ring is very close. As long as your feet don't shake, you won't step on the air." He withdrew his hand and looked at Chi Yue and the others: "It's definitely okay for you to go."

"Forget it, I don't want to take a detour."

Chi Yue doesn't want to spend too much time.

She and Wen Qizhou unanimously decided to take the cable bridge, and the rest of them had no objection and followed them back to the bridgehead.

Just as they were about to step onto the bridge, an old woman standing behind the soldiers ran over to order them: "If you find a problem with any board, you can use a rope to wrap a chain around the iron chain to make a net, so that we don't step on it accidentally. "

She takes it for granted.

"How to make it up?" Chi Yue took half a step back, looking indifferently at the aunt who made them try and make mistakes: "Why don't you demonstrate?"

"……I do not know."

The aunt dodged her eyes.

The middle-aged man beside her rolled his eyes and said with an idea: "You can pick up some branches and put them on it."

"Then you come?"

"I have night blindness and can't see clearly."

Chi Yue smiled.

She pulled Wen Qizhou and sat on a boulder, lazily leaning on his shoulder: "My leg hurts, and I can't walk for a while."

Middle-aged man: "..."

He watched Wen Yaxian and the others retreat from the bridge deck, looking for places to sit down one after another, inevitably embarrassed.

"Some people." Xie Changxiao glanced at him and the silent aunt, and said yin and yang: "The skin is thicker than the city wall."

The aunt was panicked by shame.

She poked the middle-aged man's arm secretly, signaling him to speak, but the middle-aged man didn't want to confront them, and Xie Changxiao didn't call his name, so he would take his seat only if he was stupid.

They were at a stalemate, and those in the ranks, fearing that the fire would spread, had to beg two soldiers to lead the charge.

"Young man, we can't delay any longer." The wounded residents, thinking of the feeling of being scorched by the fire, wished they could grow a pair of wings and fly away from the mountain.

The soldier made a dull "hmm".

They slung their guns across their chests, picked up a bundle of branches nearby and carried them behind their backs, and stepped up to the rope bridge with a flashlight, preparing to walk around the bridge deck before coming back to pick up others.

The backs of the two without hesitation broke into Chi Yue's eyes. She was worried that they would be in danger, so she simply got up with Wen Qizhou to keep up, and could help if there was an emergency.

She grabbed the chain by the bridge and walked forward cautiously. Xie Changxiao, who was behind, picked up Xun Song, tied him in front of her, and then stepped on the plank with Mingzhang and the others.

There was a "creak creak" sound.

The cable bridge carrying 13 people shook slightly.

Seeing that they walked ten meters away without incident, Chi Anying and Liang Fan supported Liang's mother and walked slowly up the bridge.

Some of the people who stayed at the end of the bridge couldn't wait to pick up their luggage and walked forward holding the chains tightly like them.

"Click—"

The two boards that had been stepped on by many people broke in an instant, and the young man who happened to be standing on them fell uncontrollably.

His hand holding the iron chain shook, and before he could call for help, he brushed the sawdust and fell to the bottom of the bridge, swallowed by darkness.

A scream echoed in everyone's ears.

Chi Yue, who was about to turn her head back, suddenly heard a cracking sound from the board where she and the soldier in front were standing.

They retreated one after the other.

The soldier stabilized his figure in time, but the moment she backed up, she stepped on an equally unstable plank.

She fell in the blink of an eye, her legs passing through the broken plank and hanging below the rope bridge.

"Yueyue!" Wen Qizhou threw down the flashlight, rushed forward, and grabbed her hands tightly clutching an iron chain.

While he was pulling Chiyue, those who witnessed the young man falling to the bottom of the bridge were frightened and frantically ran towards the bridge head, causing the entire cable bridge to shake even more violently.

"Don't let him move!" Chi Yunyan saw Chi Yue's legs fall to the bottom of the bridge. He wanted to step forward but was afraid that the board would not be able to bear it. He was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, wishing to kill those people.

Wen Qizhou is more anxious than him.

He stabilized his body under the violent shaking, in order to avoid pulling Chi Yue up vigorously and causing the board under his feet to be affected, he had to slow down his movements, and backed up while pulling her.

"Don't be afraid... Yueyue, don't be afraid." His eyes locked on Chi Yue's face, and his voice trembled faintly.

Chi Yue was calm from beginning to end.

The one who was afraid was actually him.

She used her strength to lift her left foot away from the broken board, and the moment she got up, she was embraced by Wen Qizhou.

His chin rested on the top of her hair, and the strength around her shoulders was tightened, as if he wanted to integrate her into his bones.

Sensing his panic and uneasiness, Chi Yue stood on tiptoe and kissed his slightly cool lips while others were not paying attention.

With a ray of flashlight, she looked into the pair of Ruifeng's eyes full of surprise and uncertainty: "It's all right, let's move forward."

"En." Wen Qizhou took a deep breath.

He picked up the flashlight and stepped over the two cracked planks without stopping, keeping his vigilance and protecting her as he walked forward.

As soon as he encountered a plank that was about to break, he immediately grabbed her hand and strode across, trying his best to avoid falling.

The remaining tens of meters went smoothly. Among them, only Ge Qinyao and Yan Shuo accidentally stepped on the split plank, but they were pulled back in time.

Instead, four people fell to the bottom of the bridge.

Chi Yue didn't look back.

She listened silently to the screams that sometimes echoed in the mountains. She was about to step onto the muddy ground at the end of the bridge with one foot when she suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Go! The chain is about to break!"

There is a chain on the left and right of the bridge deck.

The chain on the left broke suddenly, and the whole bridge became precarious, and those who were still on the bridge ran forward.

Chi Yue and his party were very close to the end of the bridge, and they were not affected. Behind them, the three of Chi Anying and a couple ran wildly all the way, rushing to catch up with the second before the bridge tilted, sweating profusely. On the mud at the end of the bridge.

The residents who fell behind all rushed to the right side of the bridge deck and grabbed another chain connecting the bridge head and the bridge tail.

The soldier said: "Move forward!"

The dozen or so people hanging on the chains dropped the luggage they were clutching in their hands, stepped on the erected wooden boards, and moved forward with difficulty.

They shook their legs, and moved their arms around the chain step by step towards the end of the bridge.But before walking far, the fifth person suddenly stopped moving: "No, I dare not go too high."

"Don't look down!"

"I didn't see it..." He shook like a sieve, refusing to move a step even after saying anything, so that the people behind couldn't move forward.

"Are you looking for death, don't implicate us!" The feeling of being hung on the bridge was really uncomfortable, and some people couldn't help cursing.

The teenager was scolded out of control.

He shook the chain violently, telling them to shut up with a hoarse voice: "Shut up! If you curse at me again, you won't even want to live!"

"Fuck!"

"Don't scold you, you should go."

"I told you I'm afraid of heights!" He turned his head and stared at the group of people with tearful eyes: "Are you deaf and can't hear?"

"..."

The strong man behind him didn't want to wear it any longer, suppressed the idea of ​​punching him, and moved closer to him.

"Don't move, okay?" The strong man stuck to his back, reached out and grabbed the chain in front of him, trying to bypass him.

"I didn't intend to move."

"Okay." He leaned sideways, hung on the chain with his strong arm strength, and raised his right foot to step on the wooden plank in front of him.

The people behind followed suit.

But not everyone is like a strong man, who can not only stabilize his mind, but also ensure that his arms can bear his own weight.

The third person who walked around him fell to the bottom of the mountain because he couldn't hold on to the chain for a moment in the air.

A scream irritated their eardrums.

The young man and the brown-haired girl behind him turned pale with fright, and their legs that stepped on the edge of the plank went limp.

The brown-haired girl didn't dare to follow the strong man's example and begged, tremblingly, "I beg you, please go forward?"

"I can not……"

He hugged the chain tightly, his brow was covered with sweat.

The brown-haired girl reluctantly pressed close to his back, giving him a sense of security and encouraging him to look at the end of the bridge and move his feet.

The boy swallowed his saliva and moved forward.

Moved two or three meters away, and did not dare to move again.

"It's too slow!" The strong man glanced at the woman who repeatedly stepped on the empty plank: "The people behind can hardly hold on."

"I can't help it." The person who walked around the boy to the end of the bridge like him sighed, "I can't be urged, I am in a hurry, and he still wants to shake the chain and die together, who can afford it?"

"Oh, no way..."
