Chapter 158: High-altitude Dangerous Situation

The design of the garden is very distinctive. It can be seen as an extension of the balcony as a whole, but it is not closed. The garden platform surrounds the balcony in an irregular semi-arc shape, and steel carved railings about 1.5 meters high are guarded by the edge of the platform.

Perhaps for the sake of aesthetics and transparency, the spacing between the vertical columns under the railing and the burly glass is very wide, which is very safety hazard. So after careful observation, many people have added steel bars.

The widest place of the platform is two meters deep, and the narrowest one is half a meter. The layout of the upper and lower platforms on the floor is completely opposite, ensuring that each household can get sufficient lighting to the maximum extent. The wider area of ​​the garden is connected to the side door of the balcony, and there is a flat walkway. After dinner, the owner can walk from the balcony to the garden, look up and see the scenery of the whole city, and look down and enjoy the flowers and plants. It is really pleasing to the eye.

"Do you like green plants too?" Hua Yun's voice came from behind, and she took a bottle of fresh orange juice and handed it to Li Tianchou.

"The farmers still have some feelings for these." Li Tianchou was not polite, and took the bottle and unscrewed it and drank it.

"Thank you for the hard work these two days. It's still early now, and I'm fine now. Why don't you go back to the dormitory to clean up and settle down. Come here to have dinner in the evening to celebrate my new home move." Hua Yun was very sad. As soon as she asked her to come to work, she was in constant danger and even took her away for a whole night without resting.

Li Tianchou was about to respond when suddenly a crackling sound came from the diagonally above, followed by a series of harsh screams. The two of them subconsciously looked up and couldn't help but be surprised. There was a person hanging on the outside of the garden railing on the 18th floor of the next unit at some point!

To be precise, most of the man was hanging in the air, and his feet were stuck in the railings of the garden. Li Tianchou saw it clearly. This was a gray-haired old man, with his head slightly shaking down, and his expression could not be seen. He might have been unconscious. A middle-aged woman in the balcony covered her mouth with her hands and looked frightened. She should be the one who screamed in succession just now.

The middle-aged woman may have been frightened and stood motionless in the balcony. It can be seen that her body is still trembling slightly.

Through the railing, you can roughly identify a wheelchair that is lying on the side of the railing, facing the position of the elderly falling from the building. The thing that may be stuck with the elderly’s feet are accessories or ropes on the wheelchair, but if it is not strong or the elderly move around, it will definitely not last long. And you are not sure about the elderly’s physical condition. If the foot is broken, it is very dangerous.

What's worse is that the location where the old man fell from the building was a protruding part of the garden platform, and the corresponding garden downstairs was just indented, which means that even if someone came downstairs but responded, it would not reach the old man.

"Sister-in-law, don't panic. The old man is fine, but his feet are stuck. Is there anyone else at home?" Li Tianchou hurriedly called out to the middle-aged woman.

Middle-aged woman shook her head.

"Hold on your breath, first see what is stuck in the old man, it's best to fix it immediately." Li Tianchou guided the woman, and at the same time turned his head and asked Hua Yun to call the police quickly. Hua Yun responded and hurriedly ran back to the room to get his cell phone.

The middle-aged woman nodded after hearing this, but what was anxious was that she couldn't move for a long time, and maybe she was so scared that she didn't come back to her senses.

"Sister-in-law, don't cover your mouth, try to take a deep breath, it's okay." Although Li Tianchou was anxious, he could only patiently comfort him at this moment.

Xiao Pan also rushed out when she heard the sound, holding a mop in her hand. Seeing such a crisis scene, she was so scared that she screamed loudly, and she was frightened by the middle-aged woman who had already taken steps. Li Tianchou turned his head and glared at Xiao Pan, "What are you looking at? I'll tell the security guard downstairs as soon as possible."

Xiao Pan didn't know why Li Tianchou suddenly got angry and felt wronged, but when he saw the other party's expression was scary, he could only throw away the mop and run back. At this time, Hua Yun had called the police and returned to the garden on the balcony, and could only watch and worry.

"Sister-in-law, it's no problem." Li Tianchou encouraged him, and Hua Yun also spoke next to him. The middle-aged woman finally took a trembling step. Although she was only a few steps away, she walked for a long time.

When the woman finally arrived next to the railings of the garden, Li Tianchou couldn't help asking, "Did the sister-in-law see clearly? What is that?"

"It's a rope, a rope."

"What kind of rope? Is it strong?"

"I picked up the cloth strips, I picked up the ones, and tied them to the old man." The middle-aged woman's courage finally strengthened.

But Li Tianchou felt dizzy when he heard it, and he was clamped with a cloth strip? How useful can this thing be? And he couldn't see where the other end was tied to, so he couldn't last long. While thinking about it, Hua Yun, who was beside the voice, couldn't help but exclaim. The old man's arm was actually moving, and the shaking range of his body began to increase.

The middle-aged woman also screamed. The old man's body suddenly fell, and the wheelchair that was tilted down was suddenly pulled by the rope, and it hit the guardrail with a bang and could not move. The old man fell for more than half a meter before he stopped. At this time, his feet had completely slid out of the railing, and his whole body was suspended in the air, and there was danger of falling from the building at any time.

"Sister-in-law, stop moving. Now go to the door and open the door for me." Li Tianchou turned around and ran away after saying that.

"Hey..." Hua Yun also wanted to follow her, but Li Tianchou moved quickly and had already run into the room.

"You are watching in place." Li Tianchou's voice came from the room.

The elevator in the building is very useful. Li Tianchou only took half a minute to reach the first floor, but he was stunned when facing the door of the unit next door. There was no door card and he couldn't get in. In desperation, he began to shout loudly and slam the door, but no one answered.

Li Tianchou was about to smash the door hard, but three security guards rushed over.

Before Li Tianchou could explain much, the security guards opened the electronic door without saying a word. It seemed that they might have received Xiao Pan's news. Fortunately, he ordered Xiao Pan to go downstairs to find someone, otherwise it would be a big deal. The four of them rushed into the corridor together without much communication.

The middle-aged woman was already waiting at the door early, "How is it?" Li Tianchou asked anxiously as soon as he met.

"Ah? Still that."

Without any delay, Li Tianchou rushed into the room first and headed straight to the balcony. Beside the garden, he saw clearly that the so-called rope made of cloth strips was actually only the thickness of a thumb, with two of them tied the old man's two ankles, and the other end was tied to a metal stick directly under the wheelchair.

It seemed that the old man had fallen a little further away. One rope below was almost broken by the cement edge of the platform, and the other was wrapped around the railing and wheelchair, tightly stretched. Li Tianchou understood that the two ropes were jointly bearing the old man's weight. As long as one of them broke, it would be done.

The most fatal thing was that both ropes were shaking. Li Tianchou rushed over without thinking and leaned over and grabbed the rope beneath. However, the wheelchair was a big obstacle and he couldn't squat and exert force. At this time, the three security guards also ran to the balcony and stood behind him in one go, stunned by the scene in front of him.

"Do you see the old man is awake?" Li Tianchou shouted to Hua Yun below.

"It seems a little sane."

"Tell him not to move, don't panic." Li Tianchou observed left and right for a while, feeling a little troublesome. He grabbed the rope with his hands and pulled it upwards and rubbed with the cement edges below, which was very dangerous. But he stretched out the railing with both hands but couldn't use any force. He turned his head and shouted at the three security guards, "Come here and help me pull it."

A strong security guard ran over quickly when he heard this, squatted and grabbed the rope, while Li Tianchou simply lay on the ground and reached out to grop under the railing, "How is it now?"

"He couldn't hear what I said, I tried it just now." Hua Yun responded.

"Speak constantly, attract his attention. I try to pull it up." Li Tianchou was very anxious. Suddenly he thought of something missing, and he couldn't help but curse himself stupid. He immediately turned his head and shouted at the other two security guards, "You two go down quickly, go down the next floor, and go to the balcony on the sixteenth floor to continue, so that it's safer."

The two security guards woke up as soon as they heard this, and hurriedly turned their heads and ran out.

"Ah...ah!" Hua Yun suddenly shouted loudly at this time.

"What's wrong?" Li Tianchou was shocked. His gaze was blocked by the railings and he could not see the situation below.

"Root, the rope is about to break..." Hua Yun's tone changed nervously.

“Where’s the location?”

"Low, below..." Hua Yun was so anxious that she didn't know how to express it.

"Calm down! How long does it take? Explain it clearly."

"It's about twenty centimeters from the platform."

Li Tianchou took a breath of air conditioning. The part Hua Yun pointed to was a little far from the garden platform, and even if he lay on the platform, he couldn't reach it. He immediately turned his head and shouted at the dazed woman, "Sister-in-law, come find a rope, and the bed sheets are OK, hurry up!"

Li Tianchou reminded the security guard beside him again, "Cut tightly, I'll let go first." As he spoke, Li Tianchou had already stood up. He took a deep breath, held the railing tightly with both hands, and suddenly turned out of the balcony.

This action scared Hua Yun and Xiao Pan behind her. They covered their mouths with their hands almost at the same time, and they didn't shout. But there were different screams coming from around them, because many neighbors who heard the noise opened the window or ran to the balcony to look here.

At the same time, the sound of police cars and fire trucks also came from afar. But Li Tianchou, who was outside the balcony, had no time to take care of so much, and just urged the middle-aged woman to twist the rope with the bed sheets.

Li Tianchou looked down and saw that the rope with this kind of cloth was extremely elastic, but not strong. The old man's weight pulled the rope long, and the rope was forced to become thinner from thick, and the thinnest part was not much different from the chopsticks.

For some reason, the old man seemed to be struggling hard, but he was not strong enough, so his body was not shaking a lot. Even so, it was extremely thrilling. It can be said that it was a critical moment and he could break the rope and fall from the building at any time.

At this time, the two security guards ran back panting again, "I smashed the door for a long time, and there seemed to be no one downstairs."

"My grass!" Li Tianchou cursed, "Help my sister-in-law twist the rope."

At this time, a large number of people watching the fun were gathered downstairs. Looking from above, the crowd was like ants, a pile of them in the east and a pile of them in the west.

With the help of two security guards, the two large sheets quickly twisted into thick ropes and tied together. The three of them hurriedly dragged the thick ropes and ran over.

"Bundle one end on the railing, and tie a slip knot on the other end on my body." Li Tianchou said loudly. (To be continued)
