It's just that he hasn't seen the specific conditions of the cliff with his own eyes. If the cliff is not prone to rockfall, he should be able to rappel down.

By the time Zhao Yeqing came out of the shower, the kitchen was already filled with the aroma of vegetables.

"How come you finished it so quickly? I only took ten minutes to wash it."

Mu Xi brought a large plate of spicy chicken to the table, "I fried the chicken pieces before I went out to pick you up. Just stir-fry them with chili and it's ready. The soup was also stewed in advance. Just Just fried a green vegetable."

The weather is now humid, and the two of them have to bring some chili peppers with them to remove the humidity in almost every meal. Over time, their ability to eat spicy food has been developed.

The two of them ate a plate of red spicy chicken without changing their expressions.

After eating, Mu Xi took out the rock climbing equipment after clearing away the dishes. Zhao Yeqing understood such an obvious meaning after just one glance.

"You want to abseil down?"

Mu Xi nodded and held the rope in his hand, "According to what you said, there is no way down the mountain nearby. If we want to go down the mountain, we have to change the direction and reopen the road. It will take less time and trouble, but it will be more dangerous if we encounter it."

Zhao Yeqing knew this truth, but when he jumped from the 30th floor with a rope tied to his body, his legs felt weak just thinking about it.

"But this is too risky. If you don't operate it properly, it will fall into the mud."

"That's not the case. If you're fifty meters high, you won't be able to turn it into mud. At most, you'll be a little bit broken if you fall."

Zhao Yeqing rolled his eyes, and Mu Xi stopped laughing and said seriously: "Actually, as long as the conditions on the cliff are suitable for rappelling, I am still confident in the operation. After all, I have taught you in school before."

At this point, Zhao Yeqing suddenly remembered Mu Xi's expertise. After struggling for a long time, he reluctantly agreed, "Okay, you can go with me tomorrow to check out the situation. Maybe I didn't pay attention, and maybe you can still find a way down the mountain."

Anyway, Mu Xi has finished harvesting the forage at home in the past few days, and the silage cellar has been filled. Rhubarb will take the sheep out tomorrow without worrying about the forage being eaten, and it will be fine if no one is left at home during the day.

After confirming their plans for tomorrow, the two went to bed early. Mu Xi's mind was all about how to descend safely, while Zhao Yeqing's mind was filled with the horror of abseiling fifty meters.

When Zhao Yeqing got up, Mu Xi was no longer in bed. Her mind was not yet fully awake. Her first thought was that Mu Xi would not wait for her and rush to the cliff.

When he went downstairs wearing slippers, he saw Mu Xi cleaning the empty oil can in the yard.

"Why did you come down here wearing slippers and nightgown? Be careful if you get bitten by mosquitoes. Go up and change clothes quickly."

By the time Zhao Yeqing went downstairs after changing his clothes, Mu Xi had already loaded all the needed tools into the car.

After she had something to eat, the two got in the car and set off.

It was eleven o'clock when we arrived at the cliff. Mu Xi took out his binoculars and looked down the mountain. As Zhao Yeqing said, he saw a gas station but no way down the mountain.

There are cliffs on both sides. Their position is still the shortest place, and the highest cliff next to it is estimated to be more than 200 meters.

Mu Xi put down his telescope and inspected the rocky soil on the cliffside.

What he was worried about before was that the weather often rained, and the rainwater would cause soil erosion. What he was most afraid of was that the soil on the cliff would loosen and cause falling rocks.

After inspection, it was found that it was okay. The mountain was basically a rocky mountain. From the fault level, it could be seen that the mountain was composed of large pieces of basalt. The height was almost the same as what Zhao Yeqing said, more than fifty meters.

"You can abseil. Just wait for me. I'll go down and take a look."

Zhao Yeqing was shocked: "Are you ready now?" She was not ready at all.

Mu Xi smiled and reassured her: "You don't need to get off, I'll just come. There's only one set of equipment. You wait for me up there. I believe I'll be fine."

Seeing her nod, Mu Xi put on the equipment, fixed the rope to a strong tree behind the cliff, fastened the lock, and walked to the edge of the cliff a little bit down.

There were inevitably some loose stones on the edge of the cliff. Whenever a stone was kicked by his feet and fell to the bottom of the cliff, Zhao Yeqing's heart tightened.

When she looked down from a high place, she would begin to breathe quickly. Even though she was fine on the cliff, she felt an inexplicable weightlessness, which made her feel flustered and weak in her legs.

It was unsteady to stand on the edge of the cliff, and she had to look down at Mu Xi's condition to feel reassured. She was afraid that she would accidentally fall down when she stood and looked at her. She was also afraid when she squatted. In the end, she simply lay on the ground and stretched out half of her body. He checked Mu Xi's condition.

It feels much safer this way.

The three dogs also followed the same pattern and lay down next to her to take a nap.

Whether it was more than ten minutes or dozens of minutes, Zhao Yeqing felt that a long time had passed before Mu Xi finally successfully descended to the foot of the mountain.

This way is not only a descent, but also expansion rivets and hangers are installed on the cliffs along the way. The purpose is to hook the hangers for protection when climbing up the rock. However, it may not be used, but it is better to prepare more Be safer.

Zhao Yeqing held the binoculars and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Xi waving at her and giving a thumbs up at the foot of the cliff.

He took out the walkie-talkie from his waist: "How's it going? Is it safe down there?"

The climate here is almost the same, and the vegetation at the bottom of the mountain is also very dense. From the bottom of the cliff to the gas station, the visual distance is three to four hundred meters. From above, you can only see green vegetation.

Mu Xi's voice came over: "It's almost the same as above, but it doesn't feel as wet as the mountains. It may be due to the wind direction. I'll take a look ahead first."

After Mu Xi finished speaking, he brought the gun in front of him. The trees below were obviously not as dense as those above. Most of them should have grown in the past two years. Only a few trees looked a little old, and most of them were only as thick as an arm.

It is close to the road and behind the gas station. The vegetation becomes sparse as you go forward.

The gas station was surrounded by concrete floors. Mu Xi walked to the front of the station and saw a crack in the ground not far away, and in front of the crack were several weathered skeletons.

The gas station is quite big, probably a second-level gas station. When I walked to the small supermarket inside, I saw that the shelves were almost empty, the grass behind the house was sticking out of the windows, and the walls were already covered with mottled Yellow marks and moss growing due to moisture.

All the food and drink had been evacuated, and there were still dark brown traces on the ground, which should be blood stains left in the past.

Mu Xi was about to turn around and go out, but he saw a large car parked outside the house through the side window.
