Chapter 364: For you
Chapter 364: Getting involved in peach blossoms for you
“You’re crazy!” The coach was the first to react. “What do you want to do? Go up to rescue people?! It’s a thunderstorm, and the helicopter doesn’t even dare to stop!”
"Stop talking nonsense! Give me an umbrella!" Li Lei shouted angrily, "If anything happens to Xiao Ling, I want you all to bury her with her!"
This was the first time she heard him speak in such a violent tone, so murderous that it made people tremble.
Unexpectedly, the coach would not accept this trick: "Who are you trying to scare?! I'm not scared! Li Lei, I'm telling you, if you go up there in this kind of weather, you're looking for death! I'm in charge of this mountain. If I don't agree, let me see who dares to give it to you." Umbrella! ...Li Lei! Where are you going! Stop him!"
The intercom was in a state of chaos.
Xia Ling roughly understood what was going on, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She yelled at the walkie-talkie with all her strength: "Li Lei! I don't want your help! Don't come up! Don't take off! Do you hear me! Li Lei!"
The channel was empty, and there was no response.
The wind hurt my face, and big raindrops fell.
Over at the base, there was a paraglider rising against the wind and rain. It was obvious that its owner was very skilled in operating it. He could still control the direction in such weather and struggled to get closer to Xia Ling. The bright red umbrella cover looked like blood in the gloomy sky.
“Li Lei…” Her nose felt sore.
“Xiao Ling, hold on.” After rising into the air, he calmed down, “I will bring you back to the ground safely, don’t be afraid.”
"I..." She knew that anything she said now would be redundant, so she held back the weakness in her voice and said as calmly as possible, "I'm not afraid. You... have to be careful."
He smiled: "I'm a master, nothing will happen to me."
The bright red paraglider struggled towards her, fluttering in the strong wind, and might be blown off at any time. Xia Ling simply didn't dare to look at it with her eyes, but she couldn't look away as if she was haunted by something. I prayed desperately in my heart, God or devil, no matter what it is, please bless Li Lei and be safe...
"You madman." The coach's frustrated and resigned voice came over the intercom, "Okay, the target landing location is at the top of the cliff. It's very steep and dangerous there. Li Lei, you have to listen to my command and I will guide you."
Li Lei said simply and neatly: "Okay."
Then, on the intercom, there was a series of terms that Xia Ling could not understand.
Hung in mid-air, she realized how amateurish her paragliding skills were.
Li Lei drove his paraglider closer and closer to her, then circled to her side and behind her. "Xiao Ling," he said, "sit tight and hold on to the paraglider rope. I will land on the cliff above you, which will cause vibrations." ,You have to be careful."
“Hmm.” She said softly, noticing the trembling in the end of his voice. So, she also smiled like he did just now, "I won't die so easily, neither of us will. You will land safely and take me back safely."
After a moment of silence, he said, "Of course." His voice regained his composure, "Xiao Ling, I'll count 3, 2, 1, and then I'll start the emergency landing."
He counted to 1.
There was a paraglider landing on the top of the cliff. Xia Ling held onto the paraglider tightly with her right hand that was not broken. She felt the strong wind suddenly rise, and countless gravel and flying sand rolled down from the top of her head. Some of them hit her body, which made her feel pain. Hum.
The peach blossom tree rustled, and some thin branches were broken by the flying sand and rocks, and fell down the cliff. She closed her eyes and didn't dare to look. She didn't know how long it had passed before she heard Li Lei's voice: "Xiao Ling."
This time, it wasn’t coming from the intercom, but it was real, right above my head.
She raised her head and saw half of his body leaning out. His clothes were probably torn when he landed and were covered with mud. His short hair was blown by the wind and was messy. A pair of deep eyes looked at her with concern, flowing and shining. of brilliance.
"Li Lei..." Xia Ling's nose became even more sore, and her eyes were about to burst into tears.
“Hold on, I’ll find a way to save you right away.” His voice was calm and powerful.
Xia Ling nodded. However, the situation was not optimistic. Li Lei was at the top of the cliff, and a full two meters below him was the peach tree where she was hanging. The cliff is steep and there is no point of strength. Not to mention that one of her arms is broken now. Even if it is intact, he cannot pull her up.
“Li Lei, how’s the situation?” On the intercom, it was the coach and Lin Yunan.
"The first aid team is ready, you have to go into the mountain." Li Lei said, "We can't pull him up, so we have to fly down with a parachute."
“It’s flying in this weather, you’re crazy!”
"You can't wait to die." The storm is coming. If Xiao Ling is allowed to stay in the peach blossom tree, the wind and rain alone will blow her off. Li Lei turned off the intercom and looked at her, "Xiao Ling, do you know how to open the parachute?"
"I know," Xia Ling tried to remain calm, "it's the switch on her chest."
"Don't open it yet," he said. "If you open it now, you will get tangled in the peach tree. I will come down first to help you cut the parachute rope. You will fall down in free fall. Count to three in mid-air, and then open the parachute." Umbrella, do you understand?”
She understood her current situation, and the method he mentioned was indeed her only chance of survival. only…
"Li Lei, what are you going to do after you help me open the parachute and land?" Xia Ling asked. The top of the cliff is two meters high from the peach blossom tree. It is very steep. Once he climbs down, there is no possibility of going up. .
"I'll fly down too." He laughed, not caring, "Don't forget, I'm a master."
"You..." She knew that he said it lightly, but the reality was far from that simple. From the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff, it is only an insignificant distance on any sunny day. However, on such a windy and rainy day, turbulence and the coming heavy rain can kill people at any time.
She wanted to dissuade him, but he had already started to climb down, and the safety rope was shaking, which made her heart feel in her throat. He couldn't help but shut his mouth tightly, afraid that if he made any sound, it would distract him.
It was only two meters, but he climbed for about ten minutes. When he stepped on the peach tree trunk and turned around, he was sweating.
The peach blossom tree grew sideways. He knelt down close to the tree trunk and approached her with difficulty little by little. Xia Ling's umbrella was hung on several branches, and it was teetering under the slightest force. It took him a lot of effort to get close to her, and his figure was undulating with the swaying of the branches, which was extremely thrilling.
"Be careful." Xia Ling looked up at him, not daring to move. There were a few peach blossoms separated by them, as if they were only a few feet away from each other.
"I'm fine." He spoke to her softly, "Xiao Ling, the auxiliary parachute is no better than the main parachute. Do you know the key points of control?"
"I know." Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, she quickly recited it. In fact, during training, she had learned how to land with a parachute, and it was no stranger to her. The only thing she was not sure about was flying down in such violent weather.
