Chapter 146 Crisis on the Wild Great Wall
Xiao Dingkun held the steering wheel steadily with both hands, occasionally glancing at the people behind him through the rearview mirror, subconsciously looking for that shadow among the laughing and dancing crowd.
At this time, Wang Fenghua and Li Juan'er were quietly discussing knitting techniques, such as the yuanbao stitch, the forward and reverse stitch, and so on. Li Juan'er said in a distressed voice, "That scarf that Fubao knitted is great. Her stitch is so fine, I can't knit it like that."
Wang Fenghua thought about it and agreed. "She's quite skillful, and that scarf she knitted is beautiful. I saw her brother was wearing that scarf today, wasn't it?"
Li Juaner: "Yes, yes, just watch!"
The two were whispering when suddenly Xiao Dingkun glanced over.
Xiao Dingkun had a stern face and was serious, so when they got in the car, they didn't say much except for a dry greeting. Unexpectedly, he just glanced at the two women who were quietly discussing knitting scarves.
To avoid embarrassment, Wang Fenghua tentatively approached Xiao Dingkun, "Comrade Xiao, I'm really sorry to bother you this time. You must have been driving for us, and you must have taken up quite a bit of your time."
Li Juan'er also hurriedly said, "We were already very grateful for lending you our camera before. We're both very sorry to bother you again this time."
Xiao Dingkun retracted his gaze from the rearview mirror and said calmly, "You're welcome."
Wang Fenghua and Li Juaner looked at each other.
They were so grateful to Xiao Dingkun in their hearts. It was always awkward for the two of them to sit in the cab without talking, so they wanted to get close to Xiao Dingkun. They didn't expect that their enthusiasm would be exchanged for these three indifferent words.
The two looked at each other and stopped talking.
They have seen the look in Xiao Dingkun's eyes when he looked at Fubao, which was completely different from the look he has now!
Suddenly I felt that I shouldn't be here, I should be in the truck bed.
At this awkward moment, a cheer erupted from the truck behind: "Great Wall, Great Wall, here we come!"
When the two looked over, they saw the Great Wall under the blue sky, among the mountains not far away, like a winding dragon, majestic and magnificent, appearing and disappearing.
The two people couldn't help but say: "The Great Wall, we saw the Great Wall!"
——
The road ahead was blocked by the pickup truck, so everyone got out and walked. Li Juaner and Wang Fenghua, who were sitting in the driver's seat, finally joined the group and ran over to climb the mountain with everyone else.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, taking out snacks and thermoses from their bags, eating and drinking together.
Li Juaner: "Is it cold back there?"
Feng Meini: "It was cold at first, but after we all started singing together, I didn't feel the cold anymore! I've discovered that spiritual power is infinite. With a strong will, we can withstand the cold."
When she said this, everyone burst into laughter. Mo Jiasi said, "You guys are warm in the front, you don't understand."
Li Juaner sighed, "We're at the front, and it's actually... quite cold too."
ah?
Everyone was surprised: "You guys are also cold in the cab?"
Wang Fenghua and Li Juaner looked at each other and nodded in unison: "It's quite cold."
In the cab, it wasn't the wind that was cold, but Xiao Dingkun.
At this time, Gu Shengtian shouted to everyone: "Everyone walk faster, run, get up, then you won't be cold!"
When he shouted, everyone took action and climbed up with all their strength. Some even started shouting slogans: "The cold is like a spring. When you are strong, it is weak. When you are weak, it is strong!"
Because this is the wild Great Wall and it has never been developed, they have to climb the mountain road full of dead trees, weeds and thorns. Gu Shengtian, Huo Jinyun and several roommates led the way, using sticks to help everyone push away the dead branches, so that it would be easier for the girls behind to climb.
Huo Jinyun looked behind him and called out to Huo Jinze, "There are a few girls behind us. Follow them so they don't get lost."
Huo Jinze glanced behind him and saw Fubao and a few girls jumping over a rock.
Go and follow them?
Huo Jinze shook his head silently, then said, "I'll help clear the way in front."
Huo Jinze didn't go, Xiao Dingkun raised his eyebrows, glanced at Huo Jinze, and went over to follow the girls, responsible for guarding the rear. When the girls saw this, they all walked forward, so Fubao was the last one to walk.
Huo Jinze walked forward with everyone. When they passed a bend, he took the opportunity to climb a small slope and looked back as if inadvertently. He saw Xiao Dingkun walking with Fubao.
He slowly withdrew his gaze.
In fact, Fubao was very agile in climbing the mountain, but Xiao Dingkun was responsible for the rear guard. Mo Jiasi walked slowly, and she didn't want to leave Xiao Dingkun at the end with Mo Jiasi. It would also be awkward as the two were not familiar with each other, so she simply walked forward side by side with Xiao Dingkun, and the two talked as they walked.
Xiao Dingkun glanced at the girls in front of him and remembered what the two girls had said in the cab: "What do you usually do when you're not in class?"
Fubao recounted his daily routine: "Reading the newspaper, looking at English books, and practicing speaking."
Xiao Dingkun thought of something: "How is your spoken English?"
When this was brought up, Fubao couldn't help but talk about his English learning experience: "My spoken English was pretty good at school back home, but when I came to university, I realized that my spoken English still has a strong accent from home, which is a little different from other people's. I'm thinking about practicing hard now. Now I listen to the English broadcasts on CCTV every morning, and I've made great progress."
In her hometown middle school, she thought her speaking and listening skills were excellent, but upon arriving in Beijing, she realized her limited understanding. To put it bluntly, her high school English teachers had poor pronunciation, so how could she possibly speak fluent, authentic English herself?
Now she can only catch up quickly, but fortunately she has a high level of comprehension and strong language skills, and she is making great progress. Even Ding Weihong, who has excellent spoken English, says that her spoken English is improving so fast that she feels ashamed of herself.
Xiao Dingkun raised his eyebrows slightly, but said: "A few days ago, I went on a business trip to the south. There was a set of English tapes there. I'll give you one. This is better than listening to the radio."
Fubao: "English tape?"
Xiao Dingkun: "You can listen to English. You can listen to whatever you want whenever you want and as many times as you want."
Fubao's eyes lit up: "So good?"
But she quickly thought of something: "Can I just hold the English tape and listen to it, or do I need to put it in a walkman?"
Listening to Xiao Dingkun's description, it was a bit similar to what Li Juaner had said about Yu Xiaoyue's Walkman. If that was the case, then it would be of no use at all.
Xiao Dingkun was puzzled: "You have seen others use Walkmans, how do you know about this thing?"
Walkmans are very rare in the country nowadays and can only be bought abroad. Logically, Fubao should have never seen a Walkman.
Fu Bao: "Yes, it's Yu Xiaoyue. She has a Walkman that looks a bit like a radio, but it's different. It's white and made of aluminum."
Xiao Dingkun was puzzled, his eyes darkening slightly. "Yu Xiaoyue? Is she the niece of the Yu family?"
Fu Bao was struggling to step over a stone, not noticing Xiao Dingkun's expression, and said casually, "Yes, that's her. That thing is hard to buy, so forget it. Actually, I'm fine listening to the radio every day. The radio is on twice a day, morning and evening. I just happened to listen to it the first time, and I'll listen to it the second time."
Everyone knows what the Friendship Store is. It is a place where only foreigners can go to buy things.
Xiao Dingkun lowered his eyes, concealing the coldness in his eyes, but took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and held Fubao's arm.
Xiao Dingkun's arms were strong and powerful. Fubao used the strength he gave him to jump over the big rock.
After he stood firm, Fubao turned around and smiled at Xiao Dingkun: "Brother Dingkun, I remember when we were little, you carried me to the nunnery on your back! I was naughty at the time and ran to the nunnery by myself. You almost spanked me."
At that time, she was still very young. In her eyes, Brother Dingkun was very tall and strong, carrying her on his back as he climbed the mountain road.
In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed and she has grown up.
When Xiao Dingkun heard her say this, he also recalled the past events, and his originally hard and tense lines softened. However, he asked her with a slightly mocking smile: "Do you also know that you were naughty back then?"
Fu Bao felt a little embarrassed when he asked this, and quickly smiled at him: "Brother Dingkun, I was still young at that time. Isn't it normal for children to be naughty?"
The voice was soft and pleasant, and it seemed particularly moving on this steep mountain road surrounded by dead trees and weeds.
Xiao Dingkun was stunned for a moment and looked at her sideways.
Under the boundless blue sky, the ruins of a solitary fortress stand on the vast mountains, and broken walls and ruins meander among the barren hills. They are majestic and magnificent, vicissitudes of life and desolate. All the colors of winter are bleak and gray, and the dry grass blown by the north wind seems to be making a low wailing sound.
She is the only one who is alive.
With black hair, fair skin, shimmering lips and moist, bright eyes, she seemed to have gathered all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, like a small flower blooming in the morning moistened by dewdrops, pure and beautiful, gentle and innocent. With a smile, she added bright and vivid colors to this withered and desolate mountain city.
At this moment, Xiao Dingkun's heart stopped beating.
With some difficulty, he turned his gaze to the distant mountains and said, "Let's go. Don't fall behind."
The voice is low and hoarse.
Fu Bao originally didn't think much of it, he was just thinking about his childhood and finding it fun, but suddenly he heard him talking to him like this, softly, accompanied by the winter wind blowing into his ears, so gentle and low that he felt as if it was rubbing against his heart, making his heart tremble and his fingertips numb.
Her cheeks suddenly felt hot, and for a moment she felt that the wind blowing on her face was not cold, but hot, like fire.
Take a few quick steps to catch up.
There was dry grass under his feet, which made a rustling sound when he stepped on it. When he caught up with them, he saw that the girls in front had already walked a distance. He and Xiao Dingkun had to catch up quickly.
Who knew that after walking a few steps, there would be a fallen dead tree in front of us, blocking our way.
Fubao was about to climb up by holding onto the dead tree. Xiao Dingkun reached out to support her, and with a slight push of his strong arm, he lifted her up.
It was nothing at first, just natural help between comrades, but Fubao's cheeks were already red, and now they were even redder, like a ripe peach.
Xiao Dingkun saw it and frowned: "Are you cold?"
He thought she was cold.
When Fubao heard this, he remembered that day when he put the scarf on himself, and couldn't help but look at him.
He was wearing a black leather jacket today, which made his figure look tight and strong. The leather pants underneath wrapped around his long, straight and powerful legs, and his lines were sharp and hard.
He looked tough and cool like this, a little different from the usual noble and solemn him who always wore a gray wool coat.
Her gaze was like a light butterfly, falling on his face. His dark eyebrows and deep eyes were as calm and resolute as before, but today he was shrouded in darkness, as if he was lurking an unknown danger, making her subconsciously want to avoid him and dare not look directly at him.
He seemed cold and distant, but there seemed to be a fire deep in his eyes, and one more glance could start a prairie fire.
Fu Bao bit his lip, not looking at Xiao Dingkun again, and said sullenly, "It's not cold."
After hearing the soft and cool tone, Xiao Dingkun said nothing more. He just walked with her side by side, and helped her to clear away the branches and thorns beside her from time to time.
Fubao felt that this silence made her more and more suffocated. She felt extremely uncomfortable and even her walking was not right.
She took a deep breath, wanting to say something to break the awkwardness, but the first thing she said was, "Brother Dingkun, why aren't you wearing your scarf?"
Xiao Dingkun was slightly startled, then he tilted his head to stare at her cheeks, which were as red as if peach juice was oozing out. His tone was unusually low, "You're asking about the previous one? It's broken."
Fubao was surprised. Her long, slender eyelashes lifted, and her soft, bright eyes fixed on him: "Ah? What's wrong?"
Xiao Dingkun's jaw tightened: "I don't know, it's just broken."
Fu Bao uttered a soft "Oh" and then couldn't help but glance at Xiao Dingkun again: "Are you so cold?"
Xiao Dingkun was silent for a moment, then said, "Cold."
Fubao suddenly felt distressed. She raised her hand and touched the scarf around her neck.
Xiao Dingkun's eyes also fell on her scarf. The pattern on her scarf was very special. He didn't know what kind of needlework it was, but it seemed to be crocheted. Although he never cared about what women wore on the street, he also vaguely felt that the pattern was very rare.
This kind of scarf suits her very well, making her fair little face look even more delicate and charming.
He said casually, "No, just wear it. I'm not afraid of the cold."
Fubao was already taking off his scarf: "I'm dressed warmly, and you're wearing less. Let me give you this."
Xiao Dingkun reached out, held her hand, and said again: "I don't need it."
When his hand pressed on her, she suddenly realized that he really didn't need it anymore.
He was said to be cold, but he was not cold at all.
His big hands were strong and hot, and her hands felt like they were being burned when they were pressed.
Fubao's cheeks turned even redder, their redness radiant and rosy, but there was a different kind of wet shyness in his eyes: "Brother Dingkun..."
Her hand was held by his, and she looked at him and reminded him softly.
Only then did he realize it and let go.
After letting go, I couldn't touch that cool and soft little hand, and for a moment I felt the mountain wind was particularly prickly.
The wind from outside the Great Wall blew over the ancient Great Wall and blew on her cheek. A strand of soft hair lingered on her slender and delicate shoulders. He turned his eyes away, feeling a dryness in his throat, and his Adam's apple rolled under his sharp and tense jaw.
Xiao Dingkun took out a green military canteen from his army green canvas bag and asked in a hoarse voice, "Want some water?"
When he mentioned that, Fubao suddenly felt thirsty and nodded slightly.
Xiao Dingkun handed her the water, which was warm. She took a few sips from the bottle and moistened her lips. She felt much more comfortable and the heat on her face was relieved.
After she finished drinking, Xiao Dingkun took it and drank a few big gulps.
From Fubao's perspective, hidden under the black leather collar, she could see his sharp chin raised up, and the Adam's apple below that was rolling because of drinking water.
After he had taken several sips, she suddenly realized that he was drinking from the same place she had drunk.
In an instant, my face, which had cooled down, became hot again.
At this time, the people in front had already climbed a long way away. Huo Jinze looked back again, but behind him were only rocks and old tree branches. He could not see Fubao and Xiao Dingkun.
Huo Jinyun frowned: "What's wrong? Are you distracted?"
Huo Jinze hurriedly shook his head: "It's nothing, I just remembered a document from the company and was thinking about how to write it when I get back."
Huo Jinyun was helpless: "Now that you're out, don't think about those things. Just have fun. Look, these people are all around your age. Wouldn't it be nice to play together and make some more friends?"
Huo Jinze nodded: "I understand, brother."
——
When Fubao and Xiao Dingkun finally reached the base of the Great Wall, they discovered that some of the forts had collapsed due to years of wind, frost, rain and snow. Xiao Dingkun was the first to climb up from the collapsed area and then held out his hand: "Come, Fubao, I'll pull you up."
Fubao raised his head and looked at the sky. Under the vast sky, the unrepaired wild Great Wall spread out among the mountains. The scene was magnificent and exciting.
However, Fubao felt something was amiss. She frowned, lowered her head and thought for a moment before asking Xiao Dingkun, "Brother Dingkun, this is the Wild Great Wall. It hasn't been repaired, right?"
Xiao Dingkun: "Yes, it retains the original flavor of the Wild Great Wall."
Fu Bao frowned, the bad feeling in his heart getting stronger. "Will it be dangerous? Where did they all go? Why are even my roommates missing?"
Standing among the withered grass and ruins, Xiao Dingkun suddenly realized something. His eyes darkened slightly as he looked at Fubao and said, "Fubao, what are you talking about? Say it again?"
Fubao felt a chill on his back when he recalled how he felt just now.
In the big city, everything was stable. Like everyone else, she was busy studying and making progress. She would also happily go shopping in the mall with her roommates. In such a peaceful and prosperous time, she thought she would no longer have that kind of sudden perception.
But now, she realized something was wrong.
She frowned, her fair face serious and earnest: "Brother Dingkun, please go over quickly and see which way they went and call them back."
Xiao Dingkun understood instantly.
He looked along the winding path of the Great Wall and saw a few small dots in the distance, which were obviously them.
This wild Great Wall is built on top of towering mountains. If there is a collapse anywhere, one may fall into the mountain stream and be smashed to pieces if one is not careful.
Xiao Dingkun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Fubao, let's go, hurry up and catch up with them."
Fubao was now more certain of his previous thoughts, and he felt anxious: "Brother Dingkun, you run fast, hurry over, I'll catch up with you."
Xiao Dingkun glanced at Fubao, whose cheeks were flushed with anxiety. "No, the wind is too strong here, and we're in the suburbs. I can't let you stay here alone. I'll lead you, run faster!"
His words were unquestionable. Fubao hesitated for a moment and said nothing more.
Xiao Dingkun held Fubao's hand and led her forward.
He had long legs and steady steps, and he ran very fast, like the wind, holding her with his strong hands.
Fubao's heart was pounding as if it was in his throat.
She had quite good physical strength, but she could hardly keep up with Xiao Dingkun by running like this. However, thinking about what might happen ahead, she gritted her teeth.
Finally, when he ran to an arrow tower, Fubao saw Li Juaner and the others.
Li Juan'er, Wang Fenghua, and the others saw the two of them running over hand in hand. They looked at them flirtatiously at first, but soon realized something was amiss. Wang Fenghua was the first to ask, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
After seeing the girls, Xiao Dingkun said in a deep voice, "Fubao, stay with them. Don't run around by yourself. I'll go catch up with your brother and the others!"
Having said that, he ran forward.
Several girls were dumbfounded and stared at Xiao Dingkun in a daze.
He was tall and strong, and at this moment he ran agilely and sharply, with his short black hair flying, like a black leopard running swiftly on the rugged and vast Great Wall.
Fubao was panting, his face flushed, and his throat felt like it was burning.
After watching Xiao Dingkun disappear around a bend in the Great Wall, several girls looked at Fubao and asked, "What happened?!"
Fubao coughed lightly and said, "Brother Dingkun just talked to me and said that this kind of wild Great Wall is prone to collapse. The wind is quite strong today. I am worried that the people ahead might get into trouble by mistake, so I have to go over and warn them."
Li Juaner: "Is it so urgent...?"
Fubao had no choice but to say, "I feel the probability of an accident is still quite high. Mainly because the wind is too strong. Look, looking down from here, this mountain is so dangerous. If this crenel collapses, people will accidentally fall down."
Several girls looked down in the direction Fubao pointed and suddenly felt panicked.
If you really fall down, it will be no small matter!
For a moment, everyone felt that there was no need to rush over to remind them, after all, nothing would necessarily happen. But when they thought about the severity of the consequences, they felt that... it was quite necessary?
Fubao touched his dry throat and said, "Hey, let's go along this Great Wall. Maybe we can catch up with them soon."
After thinking about it, the girls naturally agreed.
After hearing what Fubao said just now, they were also a little scared. There was no one around here, what if something happened?
Fubao walked forward with everyone, looking at the winding dragon in front of him, and could hardly see Xiao Dingkun's figure.
She sighed in her heart, hoping that Brother Dingkun could catch up.
If something really happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.
——
When Xiao Dingkun caught up with the group of people, they were there admiring the scenery, talking and laughing loudly. Some of them even walked down from the battlements of the Great Wall to the side of the mountain to admire the scenery.
Huo Jinyun was also shocked when he suddenly saw Xiao Dingkun: "Dingkun, what's wrong?"
Xiao Dingkun had already run quite a distance, his eyes darkened and his breathing became a little disordered. He breathed heavily and shouted sternly, "Don't go any further! There's danger ahead!"
Gu Shengtian was stunned: "Danger? Who said it was dangerous?"
Xiao Dingkun's eyes swept across Gu Shengtian sharply. When their eyes met, Gu Shengtian suddenly understood.
Did Fubao say that?
Is that really dangerous?
Huo Jinyun also realized it immediately. Is Fubao going to appear again?
Xiao Dingkun: "Everyone, come back immediately."
Gu Shengtian: "Okay, let's call them back immediately!"
At once, the three of them went around greeting everyone. Gu Shengtian went to call his roommates, while Huo Jinyun and Xiao Dingkun went to the parapet to ask everyone to come up.
Everyone was having a great time, and was suddenly asked to go up, which was a bit confusing. However, when they saw Xiao Dingkun's cold face, they suddenly felt... as if something important was going on?
Soon, the people around him hurried over. Gu Shengtian took inventory and found that Feng Meini was missing, Huo Jinze, and his upper bunkmate Chen Fenjin was missing. He frowned and asked, "Teacher Huo, where are Jinze and the others? Did you see them just now?"
He clearly remembered that they were standing on the parapet and chatting and laughing just now.
Huo Jinyun took a look and saw that his brother was not there. His face changed and he asked, "Where did this kid go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Gu Shengtian shout, "They're there!"
Everyone looked over and saw Huo Jinze and his companions standing on a collapsed crenel of the Great Wall, observing the distant scenery. The wind from outside the Great Wall blew in with a roar, blowing their clothes off. Feng Meini opened her arms and shouted loudly, "Great Wall, I'm coming! I'm coming!"
Chen Fendou even started singing: "The Great Wall is ten thousand miles long, and outside the Great Wall is my hometown. The sorghum is fat, and the soybeans are fragrant..."
Huo Jinyun and Xiao Dingkun looked at each other and their faces changed.
After Feng Meini finished shouting, he was full of energy and realized that everyone was looking at him: "You can come over here and take a look. The scenery here is very good."
Huo Jinyun became anxious.
He was in awe of Fubao's abilities. Now that Xiao Dingkun had hurried over to inform everyone, it meant that the situation was urgent and danger could come at any time. But at this moment, they had gone to such a dangerous place.
Huo Jinyun was so angry that his voice became hoarse as he shouted, "Come back! Come back quickly!"
The wind was so strong that the sound was lost in it.
Xiao Dingkun narrowed his eyes and ordered sternly, "Come back quickly, all of you, go around from the north, bend down, and hold onto the battlement over there!"
Feng Meini and Chen Fendou were full of high spirits, but they were a little confused when they heard this. They looked at the city wall below and found it was very strong. Besides, there was a wall on this side to protect them, so they would not fall down!
Chen Fendou shouted, "Don't worry, you won't fall. Come over and see for yourself. You'll feel it from this side!"
Huo Jinze looked at Xiao Dingkun in confusion.
He remembered that Xiao Dingkun and Fubao were together, so why did he come here now?
Pursing his lips slightly, he said nothing, but fixed his gaze on a place not far away. In the distance, the ancient Great Wall, which had been eroded by wind and rain, was like a giant dragon crossing mountains and streams. The north wind blew, and the wild grass swayed. The broken bricks on the wall were buried in the dead grass, and the dry foxtail grass gently swept the dust on the broken wall.
This is the Great Wall.
Huo Jinyun watched this scene with his pupils constricted and his heart burning with anxiety.
The mysterious warning from Fubao, Xiao Dingkun who came running to report the news, and his own brother who happened to be standing at the collapsed part of the Great Wall.
But even though I shouted at them like this, they didn't understand and didn't know the seriousness of the matter. With the wind so strong, I couldn't explain Fubao's matter in a few words, and they might not believe it even if I told them!
Huo Jinyun clenched his fists and looked at his brother standing over there.
The wind was very strong, and the brother's short hair was blown up. He suddenly had a terrible sense of fate, as if everything in front of him had become a black and white photo, as if the Great Wall, the ruins, and his brother had all become a freeze frame in history.
After the freeze frame, there is blood.
His hands and feet went weak: "No, no, I have to pull him over here, nothing can happen to him!"
Xiao Dingkun saw what he meant and said in a low voice: "Don't move. You can't pull him. I'll go."
As he spoke, he had already stepped forward silently, striding nimbly over the slightly collapsed city wall.
Huo Jinyun: "Okay, I'll leave everything to you—"
Having known each other for many years, he knew Xiao Dingkun and knew that he was more proactive than himself.
Who knew that before he could finish half of his words, there was a loud bang and the section of the Great Wall collapsed.
——
When Fubao and the others finally arrived, they saw the most thrilling scene they had ever seen in their lives.
That was the most dangerous spot. Below the Great Wall was a knife-like cliff. Her roommate Feng Meini was half hanging there like a kite. Her hand was tightly holding the hand of Gu Shengtian's roommate Chen Fenjin. Chen Fenjin had half of his body hanging on the cliff, and Xiao Dingkun was holding his arm tightly and pulling him up.
Huo Jinze lay there in a panic, his eyes wide open, shouting, "Quick, quick, this piece of the Great Wall is about to collapse!!"
After hearing these words, Fubao looked over and found that the city wall where Xiao Dingkun, Feng Meini and others were was shaky and about to fall down.
At the critical moment of life and death, everything in front of him seemed to be frozen, and Fubao's breathing stopped for several seconds.
Huo Jinyun couldn't stand it anymore: "Quick, go save them!"
He was stopped firmly by Gu Shengtian: "No, no, if anyone else goes over there, that part of the wall will fall down!"
Only half of the city wall was left, barely balancing on the edge of the cliff. If it was stepped on even slightly, it would be shattered to pieces and beyond repair.
Several girls were so frightened that their legs went limp, and they cried out in tears: "Minnie, Minnie..."
At this moment, a gust of wind came out and Feng Meini's body swayed on the edge of the cliff.
Feng Meini cried out sharply and hoarsely, "I don't want to die... I've been admitted to the Imperial University of Peking... I still need to work and earn money to support my parents... Save me, save me..."
Fubao looked at all this, her hands trembling. She clenched her fists and whispered, "It's okay, it's okay, Mei Ni, you're okay... You will be fine, stay alive, get a good job, and be filial to your father and mother..."
Just as she was muttering to herself, Xiao Dingkun, who was tightly holding Chen Fenjin's arm, seemed to sense something and turned to look at her.
She is the kind-hearted person she always was, and she cannot bear to see any life disappear in front of her.
Xiao Dingkun withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath.
He used slow force and carefully pulled Chen Fenjin and Feng Meini up.
Because of excessive tension, the muscles on his strong arms were bulging and tangled.
At this moment, with a little force, the balance of this wall will be broken and it may completely slide and collapse.
Xiao Dingkun hissed, "Don't move, don't use force, take a deep breath, and relax!"
Every word floats in the wind, leaving no room for doubt.
Feng Meini didn't dare to cry or scream anymore. She could only use the last of her willpower to hold Chen Fenjin tightly. There was nothing else she could do.
Everyone present held their breath, as if even a slight exhalation would disturb the air and startle the city wall.
Pulling up little by little, Chen Fenjin's body came up and lay weakly on the cliff. Feng Meini was also pulled up and lay weakly on the cliff.
Xiao Dingkun ordered in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to get up. Stay down and crawl over there!"
Chen Fenjin and Feng Meini, who had survived the disaster, dared not say a word. They all followed Xiao Dingkun's instructions, crawling on the ground and climbing along the cold stones. Feng Meini was the first one. She ran to the edge of the Great Wall tremblingly, then stood up, bent her body and stepped over the collapsed part on the other side. Gu Shengtian was already there to catch her and pulled her over.
Next came Chen Fenjin, who also came over smoothly.
Huo Jinze glanced at Xiao Dingkun and said, "You go first."
Xiao Dingkun: "Stop talking nonsense and pass!"
Huo Jinze: "If there is no one holding up this wall, it will not be able to maintain balance and will probably collapse. You saved our lives, so you go first."
After he said so much, Xiao Dingkun only had one word, and sternly ordered: "Pass!"
The people nearby saw the wind from outside the Great Wall coming in gusts, and the wall was already crumbling. They couldn't help but say, "Hurry up, come here!"
No matter who it is, come here first!
Huo Jinze glanced at Xiao Dingkun and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll pass."
Huo Jinze climbed over the city wall and then walked over the ruins.
Xiao Dingkun watched him pass by before he stood up.
At this time, he was the last person on the city wall. As he walked step by step towards the edge of the wall, the wall was already crumbling, as if it would fall off the cliff at any time.
Everyone's heart was in their throat. Fubao pursed his lips and stared at Xiao Dingkun silently, repeating silently in his heart, nothing will happen to him, of course nothing will happen to him.
When Xiao Dingkun reached the edge of the city wall, the wall was already sliding down. There was a gap of more than two meters between the wall where they were and the wall where Xiao Dingkun was.
Feng Meini covered her mouth and let out a sharp, suppressed cry, and several girls turned pale with fright.
But at this moment, Xiao Dingkun stepped on the crumbling city wall and jumped up. His agile body was like a leopard, and he flew across the gap of more than two meters between the two city walls. Then his feet landed steadily in front of everyone.
And just as Xiao Dingkun made that mighty leap, the city wall, which had long been crumbling, slid down the mountain with a loud bang, rushing down with unstoppable momentum, smashing all the trees and rocks along the way to pieces.
After a long time, there was still a rumbling sound in the depths of the valley.
