Chapter 785: Why Was He Spouting So Much Nonsense During the Rescue?!
If it were only accumulated snow up there, it would’ve been dangerous for them to stand there.
They might’ve been unable to balance themselves up there.
The situation might be relatively better if it were stones up there.
“It’s fine. I have my judgments.”
Xie Xuning tied the rope around his waist. After being forced into various situations as a soldier, this was no challenge for him.
Xie Xuning had strong observation skills. He could find the best foothold according to the thickness of the snow on the ground.
Xie Yi felt as if her heart was in her mouth as she watched him climb along the snow hill.
“Climb slowly.”
Everything went well. Xie Xuning secured the hemp rope around the trunk of the pine tree swiftly.
Perhaps it was because God saw their rescue operation, but the strong wind and heavy snow gradually came to a stop.
The rescue was relatively easier without the strong wind and heavy snowfall.
“I’ll throw the rope down. Can all of you come up by yourselves?”
The people trapped under the cliff were too weak.
It was hard to imagine being trapped there for so long in such chilly and snowy weather.
It was both mentally and physically challenging for every member of the mountaineering team.
By then, everyone was mentally and physically exhausted. Moreover, their legs were almost completely buried in the snow after being trapped for so long.
“Who’s going down with me?”
Xie Xuning looked at the monks who were part of the temporary rescue team.
“I’ll go!”
“I’ll go!”
The monks volunteered to follow Xie Xuning and slid down the cliff along the rescue rope.
“I understand that most of you aren’t in good condition, but please do not be stubborn. It’s very windy and frosty, so we’d need your cooperation to go up with us as soon as possible. It’ll be difficult for us to even walk once it gets dark.”
The captain of the mountaineering team pointed to one of the members and said, “He can’t move his leg! He might’ve broken it when he fell!”
All six members were mountaineers with extensive mountaineering experience.
None of them expected anything to happen in the snowy weather.
They neglected the fact that there would be more uncertainties once the weather grew more severe.
“Those of you who don’t have any problems should go up first.”
The mountaineers’ limbs were already frozen and stiff after being trapped under the cliff for so long. They did not have the strength to hold on to the rope.
Xie Xuning had to tie the rope around their waists. They were then pulled up by the monks who remained up there.
The five uninjured mountaineers were pulled up by the monks.
The remaining mountaineer with a broken leg could not use any strength.
“Is he the one with the broken leg?”
“Yeah.”
Tsk.
If his leg broke in this situation, he would most likely suffer from sequelae in the future.
“I’ll come down.”
“There’s no need for that.”
The monks handed a cup of warm liquor to the team members who were rescued. Their bodies felt warm as soon as they finished drinking it.
At first, they thought that they were going to freeze to death in the snow.
Fortunately, a kind-hearted passerby discovered them and fetched help from the temple.
Without that person coming to their aid, they would have already been frozen to death when someone finally discovered them after a whole day.
Xie Xuning glanced at the injured person. He squatted down and gently touched the person’s leg.
The man yelled out in pain.
“Don’t touch. It hurts!”
Xie Xuning snorted, “Finally feeling the pain now?”
Humiliated, he flew into a rage and said, “I’m not begging you to rescue me!”
Why was he spouting so much nonsense during the rescue?!
