Chapter 54: Climbing the Mountain
The next day, Li Haoran took Zhang Yuling back to the paradise. There were chickens, pigs, sheep and rabbits to feed at home. Li Haoran also had to check the traps and cut more bamboo. There was a lot of preparation work to do for building a house.
Ziyi took Yike and some climbing gear with him and set out to look for a suitable place for climbing. It was impossible to climb inside the cave as it was full of steep stone walls. The walls outside the crack leading into the cave were also very steep and not suitable for climbing.
Ziyi and Yike walked around the mountain and when they reached the side of the mountain, they found that the slope was quite steep and there were trees of all sizes growing on the mountain wall.
There were some rocks protruding from the mountain wall, and Ziyi and Yike decided to climb from there.
This mountain has not only trees, but also weeds. The rocks are no longer bare stones, but are covered with soil and there are occasionally one or two wild flowers among the weeds.
Ziyi and Yike climbed to the middle of the mountain without much effort.
From the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are two completely different scenes.
Although the mountain wall was not steep, it was much steeper than the section we just climbed. There were also fewer trees, only a few scattered around, and these trees were all pine trees, with bodies that were bent and twisted like pretzels.
It would look nice if grown in a flowerpot as an ornamental pine.
Although it doesn't look good growing on this bare mountain wall, you can see how much wind and rain it has experienced and how tenacious its vitality is.
"Brother Ziyi, can we leave our backpacks here and climb up with just water?" Yike said.
Yike looked at the bulging backpack on Ziyi's back and felt really anxious for him because it was so heavy.
The backpack was made by Yike in imitation of the mountaineering bag in his previous life. The things inside were put by Ziyi himself. Most of them were prepared for Yike. Yike was helpless. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to have such a nanny-like husband.
Although Yike's heart was sweet, his appearance was devastated, because Ziyi refused to let go. This bare and beautiful rock wall, with only a few swaying and twisted trees and tiny protruding stones as footholds, could bear such a heavy weight? It’s so vague when you think about it.
"Don't go up yet. I'll go up and let the rope down. You tie the rope around your waist and then go up." Ziyi was about to leave after giving the instructions.
"No! Brother Ziyi, put your bag down and bring more ropes with you. I'll tie up the bag with ropes and you can just pull it up."
Ziyi thought this method was feasible, so he put down his backpack and climbed up the mountain carefully. Seeing Ziyi climbing up the mountain wall like a gecko, Yike's heart was in his throat.
Ziyi finally climbed to the top of the mountain and waved a red scarf at Yike who was lying on the mountainside. Yes, it was a red scarf, a scarf specially made by Yike to report safety. It was actually a piece of red cloth. The red color was eye-catching and visible.
What code would you use if you encounter danger? White towel?
First, I would call you an idiot for using secret codes when there is danger. The dangers here are either ferocious beasts, poisonous snakes and insects, or simply falling off a cliff and dying. And you still have time to use secret codes, thinking you are meeting with spies!
The red handkerchief is made because the distance from the top of the mountain to the bottom is too far to be seen, and one cannot even tell whether they have reached the top or not. This is the interest of the young couple. Hey!
Yike tied the rope hanging down from Ziyi to the backpack, pulled the rope, and signaled Ziyi to pull it. After pulling the backpack up, Yike put another rope around his waist and pulled with another rope, slowly climbing to the top of the mountain.
In fact, Yike has some experience in mountain climbing. After all, he was a wilderness survival enthusiast in his previous life. But if it was last year, even if she had rich experience in mountain climbing, she would not dare to do it. Because she had just traveled through time, her body was severely malnourished, her hands and feet were weak, and she didn't dare to climb such a mountain. Yi Keke is not afraid now. She is in good health and has enough physical strength, so she is not afraid at all.
One can carefully and slowly climb those protruding rocks or those tenacious pine trees, and climb up the mountain steadily step by step.
When Ziyi saw Yike climbed up safely, he finally calmed down.
"I'm too tired! Too nervous! I need to take a break." Yi Ke lay on his back, looking up at the sky, emptying his mind and taking a rest.
"You rest here, I'll go take a look around." Ziyi said.
"Lie down!" Yike stretched out his hand and pulled Ziyi down.
Ziyi fell down unexpectedly, and quickly put his hands on the ground, "Stop it, what if I hit you?"
"Baji!" Yike kissed Ziyi hard on the cheek, "You are my dearest, how can I bear to see you fall? I wanted to be your human shield."
"That won't work either. If anyone needs to be the meat shield, I'll be the one." Ziyi's ears turned red. He lay down and hugged Yike, holding her head to his chest so that she could lie more comfortably. "Oh oh oh! Wow! So you like to be at the bottom!" Yike started talking nonsense. She simply climbed onto Ziyi's body, lay on his chest face to face, and even bit Ziyi's chin on purpose.
"Don't... don't do anything rash." Ziyi was like a bullied young wife, flustered and not knowing whether to hold her or push her away, his ears were so red that they seemed to bleed. In the end, he hugged Yi Ke, pressed his restless head against his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't move! Have a good rest."
Yike wanted to go down, but this time Ziyi refused. He hugged Yike tightly with his hands and legs. Yike also obediently stopped moving and lay on Ziyi to rest. As she lay there, she actually fell asleep. "Human cushion, so comfortable!" Yike thought to himself before falling asleep.
I woke up to a scent.
"Wow! It smells so good! Honey, what are you baking?" Yike rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze.
"What did you call me?"
"What? Nothing?" Yi Ke was still in a daze, mumbling.
"What did you call me just now?"
"Brother Ziyi! Are you stupid? You don't know what I'm saying?"
"No! You just called me dear!" Ziyi emphasized.
"What? Honey?" Yi Ke was about to faint. "Isn't this how I called my husband in my previous life? I must have been confused in my sleep. How can I explain this?"
"I like this name! Can you call me like this in the future when there are no outsiders around?" Ziyi stared into Yike's eyes and said seriously.
"I was so scared! I thought you were going to ask me how I knew this name. No one in the countryside calls their husbands like this. If you like it, then I won't have to explain it to you." Yike immediately called out in a sweet voice, "Honey, what did you bake that smells so good?"
"Chicken, in the backpack." Ziyi blushed at Yike's sweet voice.
After eating the delicious chicken and drinking the sweet water, I felt my strength coming back.
"Let's go! The adventure continues! Hahaha!" Yike laughed and made a gesture of departure. Ziyi was so amused that he touched Yike's head again and said lovingly, "Naughty."
Yike couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ziyi, why do you always touch my head?"
"Change your name!" Ziyi said instead of answering.
"Oh! dear! You are not raising me as a daughter, are you?"
"Nonsense!" Ziyi got angry and said seriously, "Don't say such things again, understand?"
"No! Isn't patting the head a father's way of showing affection to his child? If you want to pat my head I will say, Daddy Daddy!" Yike really tried his best to avoid being killed by patting his head.
"Wuwuwu!" Ziyi blushed and kissed her. Yike struggled and wanted to say something, but Ziyi simply stuck out his tongue and wrapped it around hers. Yike's eyes widened, stunned!
"Yike, don't be angry, okay? I didn't mean it, really. I just wanted to shut you up and stop you from saying those words. I'm so much older than you, and you still call me daddy. Am I really that old? I won't dare to do it again next time. Please don't be angry, okay? Yike, Ke'er! My dear!" Ziyi's voice of begging for mercy was heard all the way.
Yike was almost kissed to death, and she was so angry that she ignored Ziyi all the way.
Ziyi was now anxious and apologized to Yike in panic.
"Who is your dear? Where is Ke'er? Humph!"
"Okay! Not darling. What then?"
"Scream, scream! Scream whatever you want!" Yi Ke was not angry with him in the first place, so was she angry with herself? I fainted from the kiss and was so embarrassed.
