  "Shaking his head in doubt, Jin Douzi said: 'Can't fly far...'"

  "It's done if it can fly for several meters." I said.

  "That should be about it." Jin Douzi looked at me with a puzzled expression, not knowing what I was going to do. I took out a cigarette from my pocket and lit one up, then carried the wild chicken over and said: "Smoking buddy, you'll see in a moment, help me put this loop on that rock."

  After finishing a cigarette, I put the backpack strap around the wild chicken's neck and then went up along the plank road. Standing at the highest point of the plank road, I threw the wild chicken with force. The wild chicken was indeed quite spirited, and after leaving my hand, it flew directly to the opposite platform.

  After falling onto the platform, it actually seemed to have understood what I said and put that strap on the protruding stone.

  I pulled hard on this side, then swallowed and jumped forward. As soon as I went down, I felt the piercing wind sound in my ears. Finally, I stopped and my body was stuck to the opposite cliff, with both hands tightly grasping the self-made rope.

  My heart almost stopped, I held the rope with one hand and kept searching for footholds with my feet, afraid that this homemade rope would suddenly break, and the consequences were unthinkable. The cliff walls were covered with smooth moss, every inch forward was extremely difficult, although it was only about two meters away, but I felt like it was longer than the Long March.

  Due to the prolonged exertion, my hands and arms' joints were sending waves of numbness, sweat had penetrated through my palms, but I knew in my heart that I couldn't relax for a single step, moving forward was survival, giving up was death. Struggling finally got me less than a meter away from the edge of the platform, my feet also found a foothold, my hands relaxed slightly, and the numbness became even more intense than before.

  At that moment, I suddenly slipped underfoot, and my whole body lost its balance in an instant. My mind also became a complete blank at that moment.

  I felt my body rapidly falling, and even the sound of rushing wind could be heard in my ears. I subconsciously grabbed the homemade rope in my hand, but my body was still sinking, and a burning pain spread through my palm.

  I slid down another section and finally came to a stop, with both hands grasping the lower end of the rope, while my lower body was completely suspended in mid-air. The wind blew and my body would involuntarily sway back and forth. It felt a bit like being on a Ferris wheel, especially in winter, when you reach the top and even the slightest breeze makes you feel like you're going to fall off.
