Chapter Thirty-Four: Relieving the Crisis
It rained for a while, and the wind blew violently for a while, and it seemed to have subsided. The dark clouds on the mountains gradually showed signs of dissipating, and the rain began to lighten up.
Jiang Hao was extremely anxious. Seeing the rainwater pouring into the pothole, he was worried about Aunt Yu's safety. The veins in his hands holding the thick hemp rope were clearly visible. Snake Ming and Xiaoli beside him were lying on the ground and pulling hard at the soil to prevent the stones from being released.
It fell in with other debris and hit Aunt Yu.
"Hurry, hurry up."
The only few men in the shabby house got the ladder from nowhere, and handed the ladder to Jiang Hao and the others while panting.
The stagnant water continuously flowed into the hole, reaching Aunt Yu's knees. After the wind and rain, the temperature dropped sharply. Aunt Yu's clothes were thin, and the temperature in the hole became even lower. The rain-wet clothes stuck to her body, and there were bursts of cold air.
She could only breathe hard through her mouth.
Her knees were aching, and her joints were suffering from rheumatism after being soaked in the water. The bruise on her lips became more and more serious, and her face turned pale. She could only move to the side of the mud wall with difficulty, and stretched out her hands to support herself, otherwise she would faint into the water.
The eagerness below and the anxiety above both make people feel nervous.
Jiang Hao tried to kneel on the ground and threw the rope in. He lay on the ground and poked his head in. Xiao Li passed a stainless steel flashlight from behind. The flashlight used dry batteries. After pressing the switch, the light of the tungsten filament bulb came on.
A vertical beam of light is refracted according to the direction of the person's direction, shining into the dark black hole.
Aunt Yu was stimulated by the dazzling afterglow and trembled. She raised her head and yelled with all her strength: "Here, I'm here! The rope is too, too short, it's enough, it's out of reach..."
Snake Zaiming groped for the hemp rope with difficulty and pulled it up bit by bit.
Jiang Hao walked around, looking at the dirty hemp rope, and glanced at the ladder that others had just put next to the tree, and then asked Xiao Li to carry it over with him.
The white and dusty wooden ladder was in dilapidated condition, with spider webs of different shapes on it.
Xiao Lichao shouted at the top of his lungs: "Aunt Yu, we put down the ladder, you hide!"
Jiang Hao was carrying the other end of the ladder, and he and Xiao Li were advancing and retreating, testing how to get down the ladder more rationally.
She Zaiming took Xiaoli's flashlight and shined it inside, so that he could see Aunt Yu huddled in the corner.
The strong wind suddenly picked up again, blowing the bleak leaves and causing the branches to sway wildly. Jiang Hao and Xiaoli were carrying the wooden ladder, which was shaken by the wind, and they took a few steps back.
The top of the mountain is empty, and the wind is domineering. The battle between man and nature is often defeated by the wind. Jiang Hao felt his face was as cold as a knife, holding on to the wooden ladder with his hands, raising his hands high as high as he could,
Xiaoli used his strength to gradually extend the ladder into the hole.
Aunt Yu looked up and saw the ladder being lowered step by step, with a look of relief and relief on her face.
Jiang Hao looked at the protruding half of the white ladder, and finally felt relieved. If it was not long enough, they would really have to look at the sky to make divination.
The ladder was stuck firmly in the hole. Aunt Yu was about to climb up the ladder, but she walked too fast and felt something slippery on the sole of her foot. Suddenly, she felt something bite her ankle.
"Ah!" A sharp pain came from her feet, causing her to scream out.
"I, I seem to have been bitten by a snake!" Aunt Yu's face became paler and her breath fluctuated violently.
