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

Chapter 149 Successfully Climb the Cliff

The two of them were eating and drinking like whirlwind, while on the other side, on the cliff, there was a scene of anxiety and bustle. Magistrate Zhang and the Chen family were like ants on a hot pot, running around in a panic.

Qiao Zien had been at the bottom of the cliff for two quarters of an hour, but he never pulled the rope to signal the people above to drag him up.

At this moment, a yamen runner came hurriedly with a bundle of extremely thick and strong ropes. He quickly tied one end of the rope firmly to a huge rock, and the other end to a large stone weighing more than 20 kilograms. In this way, it would be easier to throw the rope to the bottom of the cliff, and later Chen Ruotong could be pulled up smoothly.

Seeing this situation, Chen Dahai was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He clenched his fists tightly and said to Chen Jianshu beside him: "Dad, I'm really worried about my fourth brother. Let me go down and find out what's going on myself! Why is Mr. Qiao taking so long to give a signal? It's really worrying!" His words were full of concern and worry.

Chen Ruotong took out two sets of brand new outdoor sportswear from the space, and then started to put them on with Qiao Zien. Helmets, gloves, hiking shoes, nothing was missing.

When Qiao Zien finished putting on all the equipment, he took a deep breath and said to Chen Ruotong with a serious and solemn expression: "Come on, Guchuan, let me carry you up the cliff." His voice was firm and powerful, revealing an unshakable determination.

After hearing this, Chen Ruotong was deeply moved, but more worried.

She knew very well that it was already very difficult for Qiao Zien to get down to the bottom of the valley alone, and if she carried such a heavy body on her back, it would be almost impossible for her to successfully reach the top.

So she quickly shook her head and refused, "No, Zien! It's amazing that you can get here safely. If you add my weight to the mix, how can you possibly climb up?" Her words were filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

However, Qiao Zien smiled slightly, raised his finger and gently tapped his head, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, I have a way. After I carry you on my back, you will get into that magical space. Will this reduce the burden?" After saying this, he blinked mischievously.

After hearing this idea, Chen Ruotong suddenly realized it. She couldn't help but slap her forehead hard and said self-deprecatingly: "Damn, is this because of worrying too much? I'm so stupid! I didn't even think of such a simple method! Hahaha..."

Qiao Zien squatted down and adjusted his posture, while Chen Ruotong gently lay on his broad and solid back, with her arms wrapped around Qiao Zien's neck like a light butterfly.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ruotong entered the space.

After Qiao Zien felt Chen Ruotong disappear from her body, she quickly stood up and walked forward with brisk steps.

He came to the rope and found another rope with a stone hanging on it. He untied the stone, held the two ropes tightly, and began to swing back and forth vigorously.

The people on the cliff had been anxiously waiting for the signal, and now they finally received a response from below. Their originally tense hearts, full of worry and anxiety, finally relaxed a little.

Qiao Zien quickly tied the rope around his waist, then pulled it three times with all his strength. At the same time, everyone on the cliff worked together to pull the rope upwards.

Chen Ruotong, who was in the space, looked out nervously.

At first, she was able to remain relatively calm, but as time went on, when she saw Qiao Zien struggling to deal with one steep rock after another and gradually climbing to the halfway point of the mountain, she could no longer suppress her inner fear and worry.

She closed her eyes tightly, not even daring to look down any further, her chest rising and falling violently, she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe. At this moment, she could only pray silently for Qiao Zien, hoping that he would be safe.

Just as Qiao Zien was about to step onto a seemingly solid rock, suddenly, a ferocious and agile eagle came rushing over like lightning.

Apparently, the eagle mistook Qiao Zien for tasty prey.

Faced with the sudden crisis, Qiao Zien did not dare to be distracted at all, and used his hands and feet to climb up, because he knew that Gu Chuan, who was hidden in the space, would definitely try his best to help him.

At this critical moment, Chen Ruotong's mind moved. In an instant, a steel pipe appeared in her palm like magic.

In a flash, Chen Ruotong used all her strength to smash the steel pipe in her hand hard at the eagle.

The eagle was obviously completely defenseless at this time, and had not expected such a sudden attack. It was frightened by the stick that suddenly appeared in front of it and was stunned for a moment.

Taking advantage of this brief moment of distraction, Chen Ruotong hit the eagle's head with the steel pipe in her hand as fast as lightning.

The eagle was unable to bear such a heavy blow and let out a shrill scream. Then it fell straight down from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing that the threat had been lifted, Qiao Zien felt relieved. He took a deep breath, then continued to grit his teeth and climb up with all his might.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after half an hour of arduous efforts, Qiao Zien was finally about to successfully reach the top of the cliff.

Seeing victory in sight, Qiao Zien couldn't help but show his joy. He whispered, "Gu Chuan, come out quickly! We are almost at the cliff!"

When Chen Ruotong appeared on Qiao Zien's back, the people on the cliff felt the rope suddenly become heavy. Everyone pulled hard, and Qiao Zien and Chen Ruotong climbed up the cliff safely.

Finally coming up, Qiao Zien's tense body immediately relaxed and she lay on the ground.

There was no dust on Chen Ruotong, she was very clean.

She chuckled and said, "That's great, we're here! Uncle Zhang, Dad, and my brothers are all here. I'm fine, not hurt, don't worry!" Everyone gathered around her.

Everyone was amazed by their attire; they had never seen such strange clothes before.

Prefect Zhang said, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright! Guchuan is a blessed man, blessed with a long life! But, Guchuan, what are these clothes you and Mr. Qiao are wearing? We have never seen them before!"

Chen Ruotong was speechless. Oh! Where was the promised caution? She could only perfunctorily say, "Uncle Zhang, to be honest, this is a gift from my friend who brought it back from overseas. There are only two sets."

At this time, Qiao Zien gathered up enough strength, stood up, patted the dirt on his body and said, "Sir, Uncle Chen, brothers, it's getting late, we should go back. Grandpa and grandma must be worried about you!" Qiao Zien interrupted at the right time to divert everyone's attention.

Chen Dahai stepped forward and asked doubtfully, "Fourth brother, where are the carriage and Qiao Si? Could it be that they have already..."

Chen Ruotong coughed and waved her hand, "The carriage has already fallen off the cliff, but Qi Si had already jumped out of the carriage. He must have been injured and hid himself. Let's split up and look for him!"

Everyone scattered, looking for Qi Si.
