These words seem well-intentioned, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the man is trying to persuade Lu Zhiye to retreat.
Lu Zhiye narrowed his eyes. It seemed that there were a lot of dirty things hidden in this mountain.
He chuckled and said, "Brother, don't get me wrong, I'm just passing by these mountains. I just looked at the map in my hand, and I still have to climb over at least ten mountains to reach my destination.
My legs go weak just looking at the river below."
Hearing him say this, the eldest brother breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he laughed, pointed at the rope and said, “This is your first time here, so you probably rarely see this kind of rope.
This thing is very common in our area. Look at the river below, the water is rushing and it is not easy to pass through.
There is no decent bridge, and the only bridge is at least ten miles away from here.
This is just the straight-line distance. We have to cross mountains and hills, so the distance is more than this in total.
So, we took the courage to slide between the mountains using ropes.
This saves half the distance and time, and allows me to sell my products and return home earlier.”
Lu Zhiye was a little surprised: "Are you going to the city to sell things?"
The man patted the backpack and said, "That's right, we usually go there the night before and can go home in the afternoon of the next day.
Ladies at home, pack up the things you want to sell in advance, and we will continue in the evening."
He said it lightly, but just listening to it made people feel weak in the knees.
"So, how do you rest?"
"Well, we can reach the county town at 11 o'clock at night. It's hot now, so we can just find a place to stay overnight.
I went to sell vegetables the next day, and the timing was just right.”
As they were talking, the eldest brother's turn had already come. He looked at the lock in his hand and then at Lu Zhiye.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I have a spare lock buckle here. Can I lend it to you?"
Lu Zhiye also had several of these things in his space, but he did not refuse his elder brother's kindness.
The big brother took out a complete set of equipment from the side of the backpack.
Teach the landing person step by step how to put on the safety rope.
Lu Zhiye was also very understanding and took the initiative to say to the elder brother: "You have two backpacks here, can I help you carry one?
This way, we can save some weight when crossing.”
This was exactly what the eldest brother wanted. He took off a backpack with a smile on his face and put it on Lu Zhiye: "You are in front. If you stop halfway, I can still help you."
This zipline is very tricky to operate. If you are not careful, it will stop halfway.
That required him to rely entirely on his arm strength to rush forward. He stopped halfway at first, and it took him most of the day to reach the other side.
His hands were covered with blisters, it was really scary.
Lu Zhiye did not refuse. He followed their example, quickly took a few steps back, and rushed out with a helper.
A few middle-aged men who had rowed past on the opposite side sat leisurely on the rocks, watching this scene.
It was as if he wanted to laugh at the young man in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiye slid even more smoothly than them, with almost no jamming in the middle.
The men looked at each other, trying not to hide the surprise in their eyes.
You know, this requires great skills. How can a beginner possibly master it in one go?
Lu Zhiye clapped his hands, quickly untied the rope, and waved towards the other side.
The eldest brother quickly suppressed his surprise and hooked his rope up.
Without the big backpack, he felt much more relaxed.
After reaching the other side, he leaned over Lu Zhiye's shoulder and said proudly, "Good boy, you can do it so beautifully on your first try.
Even those of us who have been doing this for more than ten years may not be able to do it.”
Lu Zhiye smiled harmlessly, untied the rope and handed it to his elder brother: "Thank you so much for your help this time."
The eldest brother took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Don't you still have to climb the mountain next?
You can use this rope......"
"How can that be so embarrassing?"
"Oh, I felt close to you the moment I saw you. I'll treat this rope as a friend."
Lu Zhiye no longer refused and took out 10 yuan from his pocket: "I can't take advantage of you for nothing. Here is 10 yuan. Consider it as the money I paid for this set of equipment."
The eyes of the people present were as bright as light bulbs.
The elder brother was surprised and delighted, so he said in embarrassment: "How can I accept your money?"
Lu Zhiye saw through his thoughts and was too lazy to argue with him, so he stuffed the money into his hand and said, "Let's settle the transaction.
Please collect the money quickly, I have to hurry to the mountains."
He said this and got up and left.
It seemed as if he didn't notice the greedy looks of the people behind him.
Lu Zhiye walked very quickly, and when he reached a deserted place, he slipped into the space.
After about ten minutes, two men sneaked over and asked, "Why can't we find anyone?"
"I don't know, I just saw him coming in this direction!
Damn, this little bastard runs really fast!"
The man cursed and kicked the tree next to him.
The greed in his eyes could not be concealed!
"Oh, I should have given him my set of ropes, it's worth 10 dollars!
I work so hard selling vegetables all day, but after deducting the costs, I only earn about ten yuan.
This broken thing is made of scrap steel picked up from the city, how can it be worth so much money? "
The two people became angrier and angrier as they talked. Suddenly they thought of something, looked at each other, and turned away with ill intentions.
Lu Zhiye ignored these people. He was now anxious to move the important objects into the space, otherwise, he would have to teach these people a lesson.
After walking for a long time, at about four o'clock in the morning, Lu Zhiye finally found the mountain on the map.
The jungle here is dense, and there are faint sounds of wolves howling, which is really scary.
Lu Zhiye directly released several wolves from the space. These wolves were used to being domineering in the space. Suddenly they returned to the jungle where the conditions were not as good as those in the space. They were so anxious that they kept circling around Lu Zhiye.
Lu Zhiye touched their heads helplessly, fed them some spiritual spring water, raised his arm and signaled the wolves to lead the way.
What surprised Lu Zhiye was that the place where the things were hidden was actually deep in the mountains.
How much effort does this take?
We encountered many animals along the way, and a few wolves were teasing a rabbit that ran out of its hole.
Later, he met a strong enemy and fought hard for a while before he was able to maintain his position.
The leading wolf king was trying to rub against Lu Zhiye in a flattering manner, but seeing the blood stains on its body, Lu Zhiye quickly dodged.
The little wolf king looked at Lu Zhiye with a sad face, as if he was a heartless man!
