Chapter 3 Redstone
"This is... Flame Mountain?" someone said.

Captain Zhang shook his head: "The Huoyan Mountain must be thousands of miles away from XJ, let's go and have a look."

There should not be so many gravels in the mountains of Hoh Xil.

"Everyone, be careful." Zhao Chengping said, "There is a problem with this mountain."

"Young man, everyone knows this, and a mountain without problems will not be like a barbecue pit." Everyone burst into laughter.

The scientific expedition team dispersed to inspect the fields they were familiar with, plants, rocks, soil... Zhao Chengping didn't understand anything, and was bored watching it. When he turned his head, he saw Qiao Yu had arrived on the mountain at some time, and the mountain was changing. Turn around, leaving only a corner of the red scarf waving in the wind, and then, it disappeared.

Zhao Chengping was worried that something might happen to her alone, so he said to Xin Wei: "You stay here, I'll follow to see."

Xin Wei showed a mysterious smile: "I can't tell, you still have this hobby."

"Go away, who is full of obscene thoughts like you."

"You're not dirty, how do you know I'm dirty. Hey, come back early, it's cold at night."

Zhao Chengping had already run away: "I know,"

It wasn't obvious that the girl Qiao Yu was running so fast. After a while, she hadn't even disappeared.He stepped up a few more steps, only to find that Qiao Yu was standing on the edge of the cliff.

What is she doing, can't she think about it?Zhao Chengping said softly, "Qiao Yu, stand back, it's dangerous there."

After saying that, she didn't respond, she just stood there quietly, motionless.

Zhao Chengping asked: "Is there anything you are unhappy about?"

"Unhappy? Of course, my mother forced the marriage."

"It's better than me," Zhao Chengping said. "I was dumped by my girlfriend. Besides, to force a marriage, I don't have to jump off a cliff."

Qiao Yu turned around and looked at him confusedly: "Who wants to jump off the cliff?"

It was only then that Zhao Chengping discovered that there was a small stone pile on the edge of the cliff. Qiao Yu put the camera on it, and it seemed that he was taking time-lapse photography.

"Next time, can you not run to the edge of the cliff without saying a word and stand there, it's scary, okay?" Zhao Chengping breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, there was a sound of rocks cracking on the edge of the cliff, and a rock under the rock pile was not stabilized. Soon the whole stone pile collapsed, and Qiao Yu's camera rolled down the cliff.

The two looked at the cliff in a daze at the same time, and Qiao Yu sighed: "I seem to have forgotten to export the photos inside, let's go." Before Zhao Chengping could react, he saw Qiao Yu turning his head and walking down the mountain.

Such a free and easy woman is really rare. I don't know how high the cliff is. He carefully approached the edge of the cliff and found that this is not a cliff. There is a protruding platform about two floors down from here. The camera that fell just now is on top of it.

He carefully judged the conditions of the rock wall, and he should be able to climb down along those protrusions and crevices. He has done rock climbing a few times before, and the height of five or six meters is nothing.

After all, this is a different world, maybe I won’t die due to divine help?Although Qiao Yu looks free and easy, it's actually a pity.

Qiao Yu walked for a while and didn't hear anyone coming from behind. When she turned around, she found that Zhao Chengping had disappeared. She ran back in surprise and called Zhao Chengping's name loudly. A response came from under the cliff: "I Here, come up in a while."

He stepped firmly on the stone platform, and the mountain wind roared past his ears. Although the clothes he wore were thick enough, the wind was like pieces of paper at this time. The wind whistled in and Zhao Chengping felt that His bones were frozen through.

He bent down to pick up the camera, and slung it over his body. The moment he looked up, he found something faintly glowing red on the rock wall. He brushed away the floating soil on the surface, and it turned out to be a piece of flaked stone the size of his palm. Will it still shine?He conveniently put the stone into his pocket.

When climbing up, because the sun had been setting for a long time, the temperature suddenly dropped. The cold air and the strong mountain wind made his finger joints more and more numb, as if they were not his own.

He gritted his teeth tightly, as long as he took one more step up, he would be there. Zhao Chengping suddenly felt that his fingers were stiff and he couldn't move at all. Losing support, his body just fell straight backwards.

Before he felt weightless for half a second, someone grabbed his wrist, stopping his tendency to fall.Zhao Chengping looked up and found that Qiao Yu was holding his wrist tightly, and was pulling him up with all his might.

The cold and long-term exertion prevented Zhao Chengping's fingers from recovering their functions for a long time. Fortunately, the focus of his feet was still there, and Qiao Yu's strength could still be stabilized.

"I can't tell, you react quite quickly." Zhao Chengping wanted to ease the atmosphere.

"If you have the strength to talk nonsense, why not climb up." Although Qiao Yu's face could not be seen, the voices that popped out from between his teeth clearly sounded not so pleasant and friendly.

"Wait for a while, when my fingers regain consciousness, I will climb up, don't worry, let's take a look at my mountain first." Zhao Chengping tilted his head slightly, at this time the moon has risen, and there are shadows on the empty field in the distance , I don't know whether it is a stone or a nocturnal carnivore hunting.

If it were not the situation of being suspended on a cliff, if a fire could be built here with meat on the fire, good wine and good brothers around, people playing cards, and people singing, then this would be a life like a fairy.

"Here is a good place to bring your girlfriend. If there is a wolf called a tiger howling, she threw herself into my arms, just in time for me to stroke her hair gently, and say to her, don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhao Taiping is full of emotion.

It's a pity that the cold female voice on the cliff broke his fantasy: "Don't dream, come up quickly when you're free, I'm almost blown away."

At this moment, Zhao Chengping felt that his fingers had regained consciousness, and moved slightly, um, no problem.

He just wanted Qiao Yu to let go of his hand and let him find a point of strength, but suddenly he felt nothing under his feet, and his whole body suddenly fell down. Fortunately, Qiao Yu kept holding his hand desperately, and it stopped. Stop the falling trend.

The overall land in Hoh Xil should be of strong rock, and the section disintegration is poor, which means that it should be particularly strong. I don’t know why it is so soft here.

Zhao Chengping clearly felt that the force holding his wrist began to become smaller and smaller as time went by. Zhao Chengping's height of [-] meters was not light, and Qiao Yu's skinny appearance, less than a hundred pounds, was no longer strong. If you let go, I'm afraid it will drag her down with you.

"Forget it, let go." He smiled helplessly.He has always lived a casual life, but he never thought that there would be a day when he would talk like the protagonist in a hero movie.

There was no answer, only a cold snort that seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.The grip on his wrist seemed to be stronger, but it wasn't enough to drag him up.After a stalemate for a while, not only did Qiao Yu not drag Zhao Chengping up, but Zhao Chengping felt that he was slowly descending. No good, Qiao Yu was also being dragged down by herself.

"Let go, or you'll fall too." Zhao Chengping's grasped wrist was already numb after being suspended for a long time, and it was impossible to recover to the point where he could climb up by himself.

"Yeah!" Qiao Yu yelled suddenly, and Zhao Chengping felt as if he was being pulled up a little bit, but... only a little bit... Then, he fell down again...

"I haven't given up yet, don't you f-cking pretend to be a hero for my old lady!" Qiao Yu's voice was still so cold, but...it seemed to be crying?

After growing up, there is finally a girl who is willing to cry for him, although this girl is not particularly gentle... "Just think of me as a martyr because I was beaten to death by poachers." Zhao Chengping sighed and made up his mind to kill me. Qiao Yu's hand broke free.

Suddenly there was a light on the cliff, and someone ran over shouting their names, Zhao Chengping had no strength to look up, he felt two hands grabbing his wrists, one left and one right, and soon Drag him up.Zhao Chengping gasped for a long time on the ground, someone asked: "How did you fall down?" people came up.

"I... pick up the camera..."

"Are you so sick? Are you risking your life for your money? A camera is a few dollars. If we don't arrive, you, a living person, will be gone if you say no."

"That's my camera. I accidentally dropped it. I asked him to pick it up." Qiao Yu said expressionlessly.

The team member said: "Oh, it turned out that it was to win the hearts of beauties. It was really hard work. Let's go, the captain is going crazy."

Back at the motorcade, Xin Wei punched Zhao Chengping hard: "Do you know how many people are worried about you! Picking up the camera? You want to show off too much!" Xin Wei, who had always been sunny and cheerful, had an angry expression on his face. His expression looked like he was really frightened.

Zhao Chengping bowed and apologized to everyone one by one, thanked the two team members who saved him, and promised to treat everyone to the best mutton hot pot when he went back.

At the campsite, Zhao Chengping accidentally came across the glowing stone in his pocket. He took it out and examined it carefully. Now that it didn’t glow, it looked like an ordinary stone. Qiao Yu watched him take out a stone from his pocket. A very ordinary stone asked, "What kind of stone is this?"

"I don't know, I just picked it up on that platform."

"No wonder it's so dead, it turns out there are stones added." Qiao Yu handed over the lunch box, "Eat."

She turned around and left, still without a word of thanks for what had just happened. Zhao Chengping looked at her back, shook his head, and lowered his head to eat.

With the lesson of the brown bear, the scientific expedition team decided to take turns to watch the guard this time, so as not to be too passive if there is any problem.

Everyone knows that the first shift is the most comfortable, and the half-sleeping and being woken up in the middle is the most uncomfortable. Zhao Chengping volunteered to take the middle round. He said that he didn’t drive anyway, and he didn’t have any tasks. I can't paint, and I can sleep in the car all day.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, Zhao Chengping sat quietly by the fire, holding a small piece of raw meat, carefully divided it into many pieces, and wiped each piece with different seasonings. Then, I threaded them one by one with iron picks and stuck them not far from the fire, and then stared at the jumping flames in a daze.

"What are you doing? Thinking about Qiao Yu makes you so dry that you can't sleep?" Xin Wei came over and sat beside him, "Eat less mutton, it will be more hot and dry."

"Hurry up and go back to sleep. Be careful that I am a beast."

The two were laughing and joking, when Zhao Chengping suddenly heard a slight noise in the silent air, it was the sound of bullets being loaded and loaded that he had heard enough in the past few days.At some point, there were already poachers all over the place, and they sneaked in through the shadow of the mountain, only to kill for revenge.

A bullet whizzed over: "If you dare to cut off our financial path, you will die here today!" Someone shouted loudly in the darkness.

"Be careful!" Xin Wei shouted, trying to push Zhao Chengping away.

Xin Wei's face overlapped with the car accident in reality, and he must never let his friend die in front of him again.He suddenly threw Xin Wei to the ground, he felt a sharp pain in the top of his head as the bullet flew by, and sticky blood flowed down his face.
