Chapter 53 The View from the Cliff

Yuanxiao nodded, "Okay, okay, calm down. The first time we watched his performance, it was also this expression. It would be great if we got used to it in the future!"

Anaduo still had an incredible expression, "The most flexible herb collector in our village is not as fast as he is too powerful. Who is he?"

Anaduo's question asked both Yuanxiao and me. Yes, we don't know who he is. Thinking of this, I suddenly discovered a question, and we had forgotten the mystery in Wenmo. I remember that when we first met Wenmo, we tried our best to pursue his secret. But now, although we still don't understand Wenmo, we have unconsciously trusted him after experiencing so many events together.

Looking back, I found that Wenmo and I should be considered fellow travelers. I was pursuing my secrets. He was pursuing what he wanted. We had the same goal, but we did not conflict. Perhaps because of this, we formed such a strange relationship now.

Yuanxiao spread her hands, "It's over, the boss dumped us again! What should I do?"

I walked to the edge of the cliff, reached out and pulled a few vines on it, "What should I do? Go up! You can't go back!"

Yuanxiao nodded, "Okay! Then let's move towards difficulties!" As he said that, he also began to study the method.

The woman was quite careful, and Anado came over to look at my shoulders, "How about your shoulders? Can it work?"

I clenched my fists hard, and then moved slightly back and forth. Although it still hurts a little, as long as the amplitude is not very large, it is still OK.

I reached out and untied the bandage with my arms hanging off and threw it away, and smiled at Anado, "No problem!"

"But," Anado seemed to be uneasy.

I looked at her and said, "It's all here. If you have difficulties, you have to go forward. If you don't have difficulties, you have to go forward. It's impossible to retreat. Why? Are you not in a hurry to find my second uncle?"

When Annaduo's eyes lit up instantly when he heard me mention the word "Second Uncle", he nodded heavily, "Okay, let's continue!"

I couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that in Annaduo's heart, my injury was insignificant compared to looking for my second uncle.

"You guys come and see!" Lantern Festival suddenly waved to us not far away.

Anado and I walked over, and on the way we found that there were many or intact or broken stones scattered among the bushes. I guess they all fell from this cliff.

From this I can boldly speculate that there should have been something like a plank road above the cliff, but with the erosion of time, it has now become in ruins.

We came to the edge of the cliff, and Yuanxiao pointed to the mountain wall and said to us, "Look, there are still many holes left on this cliff." I leaned over and took a look. As expected, it seemed that it was the traces left by the ancestors who lived here when they built a plank road on this cliff.

Since the angle of this cliff is almost vertical, even if you find these holes, it will be difficult and dangerous if you want to climb. In addition, one of my hands is not that powerful, I feel a little hesitant.

I looked up and said, "This, can this work? Can it reach the top?"

Yuanxiao patted her chest indifferently and said, "Don't worry, look at me!" As she said that, she stepped on it, and then stabilized her body with the help of the vines around her. Although these vines looked a little weak, it was more than enough to just maintain balance.

Watching Yuanxiao slowly climbing upwards along the holes in the stone wall, Anaduo looked at me, "Can you do it?"

As a man, I can never say that I can't do it myself. I smiled slightly and made an OK gesture.

Anaduo nodded, climbed up, then turned to me and said, "Then I'll go up first, don't force me, if you really can't do it, you'll think of other ways."

I patted my chest, "It may not be sure who will go up first in a while!"

Annaduo smiled and turned to climb upwards. Annaduo often followed her father to collect herbs in the mountains, so she was so familiar with such climbing and soon surpassed the Lantern Festival in front.

Yuanxiao looked at Annaduo's back and shrugged at me again. I pointed to him and asked him to concentrate so that he would not fall down and hit me in a while.

The bottom of me was quite hard to climb. My injured shoulder didn't dare to exert too much force. Whenever I used arm strength, my shoulders would start to hurt. Therefore, I almost used one hand to force, and the other hand could only provide some slight assistance.

Yuanxiao turned around at a little above and asked me, "Zhuoran, is your arm OK? Otherwise, you can wait below first, and after we go up, we will pull you up with a rope."

I waved my hand at him, "It's okay!! I can get on!"

Yuanxiao seemed to be a little worried, so she looked at me deeply, said carefully, then turned her head and crawled up again.

When Lantern Festival turned around, I quickly put away my pretended relaxed expression and gritted my teeth hard.

The reason I said this is that I am unwilling to bother Yuanxiao and the others anymore because they are not easy. In addition, I secretly scolded myself for being useless and competing with myself. Fortunately, the holes on the cliff are still dense, and with the help of the vines next to me, I could barely deal with it with my situation. However, at this time, I was already sweating and my back was wet. In addition to fatigue, I felt more pain in my shoulders.

I found that after experiencing these messy things, in addition to those confusing strange things and incredible mysteries, it is still beneficial to me. I don’t know how helpful those high-intensity off-road climbing and diving can be to my physical fitness, but one thing is certain, that is, my personality has become much stronger than before. It is precisely this that allows me to cope with the situation in front of me.

In this way, I climbed to halfway through the cliff. At this time, I was already out of breath and I had to rest here. I leaned my body tightly against the stone wall, one hand tightly on a vine next to me, and the other injured arm, I had to hang it completely, because I felt it was a little numb.

Since my face was almost pressed against the cliff, I unexpectedly noticed that there were some less obvious marks on the stone slightly obliquely. I reached out and gently wiped away the dirt on it, and could vaguely identify an oval pattern. After the erosion of wind, frost, rain and snow, its original appearance could no longer be restored. However, after I identified it for a while, I realized that it seemed like an eye was engraved here!

I couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that there is a mural here? This eye is just a part of the above? This discovery made me a little excited. Perhaps the information on the mural can help us understand what happened here back then.

I hurriedly wiped off some stains next to my eyes and saw another eye. My heart was filled with expectations. So, I made the cleaning work even bigger. Soon I discovered more patterns carved on the stone wall, but what shocked me was that these patterns were all eyes!

This discovery made me stop the movements in my hands. It was hard for me to imagine the strange scene of the stone wall being carved with eyes.

I noticed the direction of these eyes looking, so I turned my head to look opposite the cliff.

A little further away, the three tall stone pillars on the wasteland stood a little abruptly between the encirclement of a jungle. I always feel that in addition to being used as the so-called thunder demon, there must be even more significant meanings!

Suddenly, the wind blew, and the vines swayed, which scared me so much that I quickly stabilized my body. I looked down and saw that I was at least five stories high from the ground, and I suddenly felt dizzy.

I think it’s safer not to think about these things for the time being. I’d better climb up quickly. If I stay here for a long time, I’ll be over if I miss it!

I looked up and found that from where I was, some stones fixed on the cliff wall began to appear intermittently from where I was. At the same time, a very difficult situation occurred. The stones down from where I was, basically all fell off, so the holes used to fix the stones were exposed. But the situation was different when I went up. Few stones fell off, but many broke.

This caused the broken stone to be neither able to settle down, and the holes in the cliff were blocked and could not settle down. Therefore, if you want to pass through many places, you must use some more difficult jumps and climbs. If it is normal, I will not be able to complete it, but my current situation makes me feel a little overwhelmed.

I looked up at Anaduo and Yuanxiao above. They were almost at the top of the cliff.

Yuanxiao saw my predicament and lowered her head to me and shouted: "Zhuoran, stay there and don't move. I will go up and put down the rope immediately and pull you up!"

I raised my injured arm with difficulty and made an OK gesture to him.

While I was waiting for rescue, I suddenly found that there were holes not far away from me, which seemed to be extending to other places. It seemed that there was a road here, which did not lead to the upper side, but to another direction. However, for such a terrain, even if a plank road was built here back then, where could it lead to?

I couldn't help but start to guess, and at the same time these guesses aroused my great curiosity. I probably estimated that I should be able to deal with the difficulty of this route. So I walked over carefully.
