Chapter 216 Injury
The person watching him hurriedly tried to pull the rope back...
When Su Tong's body and arms were lifted up by a force, she felt another force in front of her resisting. She immediately realized that the rope was broken from the back.
This means that the rope connecting to the other side is still in her hand.
"Let go! Let go! Don't pull the rope--" she shouted.
The six people on the opposite side stopped at the same time...
Su Tong's arms and waist were held up by the six people here with a rope. In his hand, he was holding a rope with one end broken and the other end connected to the other side, forming a deep "V" hanging in the middle.
Fortunately, the soldiers had strong execution ability and they loosened their grip as soon as she shouted. Otherwise, either she would not be able to hold on to the rope at one end, or the rope connected to this end would be pulled off along with her.
"Let go of the rope! Let go more! I'll climb up along this end of the rope." Su Tong shouted loudly.
She was originally three or four meters away from reaching the other side, but when the rope broke, her body lost weight and her hands subconsciously slid down a few meters. Then a few people over there pulled her, and she slid down a few more meters. Now she was still hanging in the air, but as long as she could grab the cliff over there, she could climb up.
Qin Yi could see clearly from the cliff. He shouted upwards:
"Listen to her! Let go of the rope!"
Several people here carefully let out the rope. Su Tong held the rope on the other side in his hand, and his body slowly approached the cliff on the other side as the rope on this side was loosened.
Fortunately, the ditch is not wide and the rope is long enough.
By the time Su Tong reached the cliff on this side, his body was already not far from the water surface.
She quickly found a support point on the cliff and raised her hand to gesture "OK" to the back.
At this point, the mission of the three old ropes has come to an end.
At least Su Tong had reached the opposite cliff and achieved a phased victory.
However, the point where she landed was about ten meters above the ground, and she needed to climb up on her own.
Su Tong took out the dagger and put it in his mouth, then began to climb up. Although the rope was hanging next to him, it could break at any time and he could not rely on it.
Under everyone's attention and expectations, Su Tong then demonstrated his amazing rock climbing skills.
She moved at a steady pace, with almost no pauses, and each step was accurate and steady. Except for two places where she used a dagger, she climbed the vertical height of more than ten meters in less than fifteen minutes and successfully brought the three ropes to the other side.
Except for Qin Yi and Lin Li, who had already accepted her abilities, everyone else was surprised and silently raised her fighting power by several degrees in their hearts.
With three ropes as a base, it didn't take long for all team members, including Ma Liu, to pass through.
Of course, Ma Liu is a little afraid of heights, so it took some time to pass through, but let’s not talk about it.
Li Song and the others kept praising Sister Lan for her great contribution. Su Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was still too well protected. She was just helping everyone through a ditch. She wished they would praise her as having made a first-class contribution.
Because of the gunshots heard just now, Qin Yi reminded everyone to be as silent as possible and to be on high alert while traveling.
The team headed westward towards the direction of Qingshizhai marked on the map.
The temperature began to drop, sporadic snowflakes began to fall, the mountain road was difficult to find, and the group was not moving very fast.
After walking for about an hour, Li Song, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.
After a moment, Li Song gestured to the people behind him to squat, then pointed forward and whispered:
"Boss, there's something going on ahead."
The light was not bright in winter, and it was even darker in the forest. Qin Yi followed Li Song forward and saw a faint flickering fire at the nine o'clock direction, about a hundred meters away, obviously there was someone there.
Qin Yi made two gestures behind him, hiding where he was and keeping silent.
Then he pulled out his pistol, pointed at Rao Jiancheng and Cheng Gang, and gestured forward.
The three of them quietly gathered around the fire.
Before I got close enough, I heard someone talking near the fire.
To be precise, someone was cursing at someone else, using Mandarin with a strong accent, and it was impossible to tell where the accent was from.
"Damn it! None of them are useful! Some will be blown to death! Some will be beaten to death! When will they all be gathered together?"
Another voice said, "Brother Fei! These two are no longer effective! We should think of another way before it's too late!"
"What bad luck! Let's go! Hurry up and check out Daniu!"
As they were talking, some people stood up. There were five or six of them. Some were carrying luggage, some were putting out the fire, and each was busy with their own things.
Most of these people appear to be in their twenties or thirties, but their clothes clearly show that they are not from the mountains.
The few of them quickly headed south, cursing.
Qin Yi waved his finger forward, and Cheng Gang and Rao Jiancheng followed him, crouching down.
Watching them disappear into the woods, Qin Yi looked around again before putting away his pistol and turning his attention to the two people lying next to the fire.
The two men had their hands tied behind their backs. There was a lot of blood on their bodies, and their faces were bruised and swollen, as if they had just been severely beaten.
Qin Yi checked the breath of the two people. One of them was already cold and had no breath, while the other was still breathing slightly.
He quickly unbuttoned the man's neck, untied his bound hands, laid him flat on the grass, patted his cheek gently, and whispered in his ear:
"Wake up! Wake up! Can you hear me?"
The man seemed to be seriously injured and did not respond at all.
Qin Yi took some water from the kettle into an enamel jug and tried to feed him, but the water overflowed and he couldn't feed him at all.
After a closer inspection, I found that his body was covered with large purple patches, which looked very scary.
A few minutes later, Rao Jiancheng came back and whispered, "He went south. Judging from the direction, it should be Mangpi Ridge."
Qin Yi nodded, pointed at another person lying on the ground and said, "Untie that person, move him over here, and check if there are any leftover items around."
Not long after, Cheng Gang also came back, "Boss, the surroundings are safe, and no other abnormalities were found."
"Okay! Tell them to come over!"
Lin Li and his men had been paying attention to the situation here. When they saw the signal from Cheng Gang, they immediately brought their men over to join them.
Qin Yi ordered Cheng Gang to light the fire that had just been extinguished and move the two people to the fire.
When Chen Yunfeng came over, he pointed at the person on the ground and said to him, "See if there is any hope?"
Chen Yunfeng stepped forward to check and shook his head, "The injury is too serious!"
Then he said to Su Tong beside him: "Sister Lan, come and take a look!"
Su Tong was checking the person next to him.
The man was also covered in bruises and had been dead for a long time.
But Su Tong saw that there was a thin rope tied to the buttonhole of the man's cotton-padded jacket. When he pulled the rope, he found a small cloth bag on the other end. The small cloth bag was in the inner pocket of the cotton-padded jacket. When he opened it, he saw some change, flint and cigarettes inside.
