At the foot of the boulder, Huo Ran, the two disciples of Lingxiao sect, who had been standing calmly on the edge of the stone steps, looked up. At the same time, it seemed that there were also a few figures at the top of the towering Boulder, and they flashed to the edge of the boulder and looked down
It's just that all these changes have been out of Shen Shi's attention for a long time. At the moment, all he can see is the falling body. The sea breeze whizzed by the boulder, with a cold feeling, as if to remind us that behind us was a dangerous cliff with nothing; The stone steps below are so narrow and steep that they seem to have no place to stand.
All the young people around him were so scared that they fell down on the ground for fear that they might be implicated. If one of them was bad, he would fall down, but Shen Shi could not avoid it. At this moment, he didn't even have a chance to yell, because in a twinkling of an eye, the body of the fallen girl seemed to be in front of him.
On the top of the huge rock, a tall body floated up in the wind and was about to dive down.
Almost out of an instinct or a dying struggle, the unlucky Shen Shi subconsciously growled and suddenly opened his arms, so that it was too late to get out of the way. Otherwise, he didn't mind letting the girl he had never met roll down from him at all, so that he wouldn't have to be buried with her for no reason. But now he can't help him. In a hurry, he can only do his best to keep his body balanced, Then he hugged the body of the fallen girl with his hands and desperately tried to get close to the stone steps, hoping to stay lucky and not slip.
It's just that on such a steep stone step, it's always a hard job to maintain balance. In addition, most of the teenagers, including Shen Shi, have exhausted their physical strength because of the long climb and tension. So when Shen Shi just caught the girl and wanted to stand steady again, he felt a huge impulse coming down from the girl, and his feet were stumbling. As expected, he still couldn't keep stable and fell straight down.
"Ah..." at this moment, not only the girl who fell down, but also the young men and girls around saw this scene, and many people cried out in fear.
I don't know why, at this critical moment of life and death, Shen Shi's brain seems to have suddenly calmed down a lot. For a lightning like moment, he inexplicably flashed a strange idea in his mind: were those livestock he had killed before also afraid before he died?
He gritted his teeth and hugged the delicate body that had fallen into his chest with both hands. Both of them were sliding downward at the same time. The originally steep stone steps looked so ferocious and ferocious at the moment, but Shen Shi didn't give up the idea of struggling to survive. In the chaos, he desperately grasped the stone steps with his hands, grasping every protruding stone that might support his body and the steps that could block his body from falling, At the same time, his feet were also desperately treading on the stone steps below. Even during these actions, he remembered that he pushed his body, including the girl's body under him, against the stone steps at the same time, regardless of any circumstances. Otherwise, if he was really forced to leave the stone steps by the impulse, he would be doomed.
Seen from a distance, Shen Shi at this time was like a monkey dancing with hands. He was confused and desperate to catch something, with a sense of humor. But all the people who saw this scene did not smile at all, they were all staring at me in amazement.
One layer, one layer, one layer
The huge momentum from the top to the bottom made Shen Shi's body directly slide down four steps. Several times in the middle, he almost flew out of the stone steps and fell off the cliff like rock. But in the end, he unexpectedly stuck to the stone steps incredibly and forcefully. Until his feet finally stepped on the fourth stone step and luckily stepped on a small protruding stone.
A burst of scratching broke out in the crowd below the boulder. The tall figure at the top of the boulder also stopped suddenly and fell back to the boulder lightly.
On the stone steps, Shen Shi, who had narrowly escaped death, finally managed to stand still again with the support of the small hard stone under his feet. He was still in a state of shock. His face turned white. Only now did he feel refreshed and deeply afraid. Not to mention that he was sweating all over, his whole body felt soft and weak.
The girl under him seemed not to have recovered from her fright until this time. Her whole body was shaking and she could not speak for a moment.
Shen Shi gasped a few times and suddenly pushed away the girl who was curled up beside him or who had no strength to go away. At that moment, he only felt that his heart was full of inexplicable and unlucky anger. The feeling of coming back after walking around the gates of hell was really creepy.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Shi yelled at the girl and gnashed his teeth and said, "you want to die yourself. Don't hurt others, OK?"
The girl's body trembled slightly, and her already pale face was scolded by Shen Shi, which immediately seemed to turn white again, and she could not even see any blood. Her lips trembled as if she wanted to say something to Shen Shi, but she didn't utter a word for a long time.
Just at this moment, under the angry Shen Shi, a half dead, weak voice appeared to be in great pain. It was very quiet:
"Elder brother, if you want to scold this stupid girl, you can scold her at will. I don't mind if you scold her to death. But please move your feet before scolding..."
※※※
Shen Shi was startled. He looked down and saw that on the small raised stone that had saved himself and the girl's life, there was a hand on it, and his foot was on it.
Looking along that hand, I saw a 12-year-old boy lying on the stone steps, helpless and distressed. He was looking at him with a wry grin.
Shen Shi paused for a moment, then regained his consciousness, and quickly put his hands and feet away. He looked at a relatively flat platform just outside the stone steps on the left side. At this moment, he was also unable to walk for a while. At that moment, he summoned up his remaining strength and sat down on the small platform. Only then did he slowly relax, and slowly felt that the soul seemed to fly back into his body until now.
A sudden accident finally passed through safely and dangerously. All the young girls on the stone steps were quiet. After a while, many people began to climb again. But this time, everyone was more cautious, and at the same time, the distance between the front and rear people was also widened. No one dared to stand too close behind the front one.
The boundless sea, rolling waves, the blue sky and the clear sea surface constitute a beautiful scene of one color of sea and sky, and the sea breeze is even more refreshing. Shen Shi, sitting on the boulder, reached out and rubbed the center of his eyebrows. He was silent. Then he heard a sound of footsteps. A man came up from below, stopped on the stone steps beside him, and sat down beside him.
Shen Shi looked around and saw that it was the young man who had stepped on someone's palm just now. He was a little surprised and said, "why don't you leave?"
The young man took a long breath, stretched out his hand to wipe a cold sweat on his forehead, and saw that he was beautiful. He was handsome in terms of his appearance, but his face was also a little ugly at the moment. He murmured: "I was almost scared to death. My body is soft. I have to rest for a while."
Shen Shi said angrily: "it's not that you've been hit. What's to be afraid of?"
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "brother, if you didn't step on my hand just now, er, no, if you didn't step on that small stone, you would directly hit me next."
Shen Shi thought about it. In that case, he really couldn't keep his balance and could only continue to fall. If he bumped into the boy in front of him again, I'm afraid the situation would be like a snowball, and it would be out of control.
Thinking about the dangerous situation just now, Shen Shi and the young man looked at each other and saw the fear and luck in the other's eyes.
After a moment, Shen Shi calmed down, looked at the young man and said, "anyway, I'm sorry for stepping on your hand just now. My name is Shen Shi. May I ask your name?"
With a grin, the young man reached out his right hand to Shen Shi and said, "sun you."
Shen Shi smiled and patted him.

Another gust of sea wind blows gently. It seems that the wind is weaker. They sit here for a while. I wonder if they have experienced the test of life and death just now. In the eyes of Shen Shi and sun you, when they look at the steep stone steps, they feel that they are much gentler than before. Even the slope seems not so steep and no longer so scary.
However, at this moment, a timid voice came from the stone steps not far away beside them, and with some faint choking, whispered:
"Sorry, sorry..."
Shen Shi and sun you both turned their heads and saw that the person who was talking was the originator of the incident just now. For some reason, the girl didn't continue to walk upward, and it seemed that she didn't dare to turn around and sit directly on the steep stone steps. Therefore, from now on, she has been lying on the stone steps quietly like a frightened bird with a little tension.
"Sorry, I, I didn't mean to..." she slowly raised her head. The crystal tears seemed to circle in her eyes, but she tried not to cry. Sun you frowned and didn't speak. Shen Shi was almost killed by her. Originally, she was angry with the girl, but when she saw such an expression, she couldn't say anything else. After a moment of silence, she could only shake her head with a wry smile and wave her hand: "forget it, forget it."
The girl's beichi bit her bloodless lower lip tightly, looked at Shen Shi and seemed to stop talking. At last, she withdrew her eyes, then took a deep breath, but gritted her teeth and started walking over the boulder again.
Although sun you didn't speak from the beginning, she always looked at her from the side. The girl also looked at sun you once. After touching his eyes once, she immediately looked away.
After seeing the girl off for a while, sun you suddenly said to Shen Shi, "Shen Shi, you shouldn't be a local?"
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and nodded: "yes, I'm from Lanzhou in the southwest."
Sun you said "Oh" and seemed not interested in the small southwest state. Instead, he approached Shen Shi slightly and whispered, "no wonder you don't recognize that girl. Don't you see how many people here are far away from her?"
Shen Shi frowned and shook his head. "I really didn't notice. What's the saying here?"
Sun you glanced at the girl's back and said, "her surname is Zhong, and her name is Zhong Qingzhu. She is an illegitimate daughter of a side branch of the Zhong family, so she is very unpopular in the Zhong family. It is said that she is also clumsy on weekdays. Unexpectedly, she almost caused a big mess today."
Shen Shi glanced at sun you. Sun you spread out his hands and said, "don't look at me. I didn't say this casually. The children of aristocratic families inside and outside Liuyun city almost know it."
Shen Shi said "Hmm", thinking whether he was innocent just now, but then he thought about something again. He looked up at sun you and said, "I know these aristocratic children very well from your tone. Besides, your surname is sun, isn't it..."
Sun you waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "yes, I'm from the sun family of the Lingxiao clan."
