I panicked as soon as I saw it. It looked very strenuous for Ma Dad to bear the weight of two people, and his stooped waist seemed to be straightened. Moreover, the stones on the river would be impacted when the river water rose, and the light would fade over the years.
Like pebbles, they are covered with a layer of moisture and are very slippery, making it difficult for people to hold on to the stones.
The rest of the people were farther away, but they also noticed something unusual and were running this way. I was afraid that Ma Daddy couldn't hold on anymore, so I quickly looked at the surrounding environment, stretched out my feet to push on a stone, stretched out half of my body, and grabbed Ma Daddy.
Dad has an arm.
"Hold on! People will be here soon!"
As soon as I stretched out my hand, I knew I had made a fatal mistake. I fell under the weight of Ma Dad and Lei Duo, and my body suddenly lost control. In just a few seconds, I rolled down the slope in a daze.
It was hard for Ma Dad to do bad things with good intentions. As soon as I rolled down, he could no longer hold on. The three of us fell down the steep slope into the cold and fast river at the same time without any buffering room.
When I rolled down the steep slope, I fainted and subconsciously held on to Ma Dad. The river water was so cold that I choked again. My mind went blank. I didn't feel anything at all. I even forgot about fear.
It's white water.
It’s over!
In that situation, people have no room to think. The only thing they can do is to desperately grab everything they can and then refuse to let go. I don’t want to harm Ma Dad, but this instinctive reaction is beyond my control.
, not caring about anything else, he held Madi tightly with both hands, and then drifted along the river in the dark.
The underground river turned around here, and the flow rate was much faster due to the terrain. I had lost the concept of time and could only feel that I was tightly wrapped in the cold river water, rising and falling involuntarily. Suddenly,
The floating body was empty and quickly fell into the abyss in a large splash of water.
The moment I fell into the abyss, I seemed to have regained a little bit of my completely lost consciousness. This little bit of consciousness was not enough for thinking. It just reminded me of the depth of the abyss and the things in the river that Ma Dad called ghosts.
Moreover, these consciousnesses are filled with the shadow of death. I feel that this method of death is too unacceptable. If I have to die, I would rather die on land, in an environment where my mind is at least clear.
According to the speed of free fall, it takes less than two seconds to fall to the bottom of an abyss of twenty to thirty meters. For the human body, this height is simply synonymous with death. Not to mention land, even if it is water, if
If a person's posture is improper, there is almost no difference between falling on the water and falling on the hard stone ground.
It was impossible for the three of us to deliberately adjust our posture when we fell into the water in this state. Fortunately, I can't remember the posture in which I entered the water, but I didn't feel like falling on the stone ground.
He fell into the water under the abyss, and his whole body was like a cannonball, which was shot heavily into the deep water.
The strange thing is that falling vertically from such a high place seemed to wake me up, and my remaining consciousness quickly recovered. The water under the abyss was even more turbulent than the underground river above. Before I could fully float from the bottom of the water, I was thrown into the water.
I rushed out a long way. When my head briefly touched the air, I took a deep breath as if it was a reflex, and then I was swallowed up by the boundless river water.
From the moment I fell into the water to now, which probably took less than a minute, I kept pulling Ma Dad very tight. As soon as my mind cleared, I was very worried about his safety, but the current was too fast, and my body kept floating in the water, and my head
Occasionally coming out of the water doesn't even take enough time to breathe.
I don’t know how far I drifted along the river. The river seemed to suddenly turn a big bend, but it was pitch black. I’m not sure whether it was an illusion. Immediately afterwards, I felt that the flow of the river suddenly slowed down.
A lot.
As soon as I regained consciousness, various senses of crisis began to flood my brain. Not to mention whether there are ghosts under the water here, as Ma Dad mentioned, even if I keep floating down the water, it is a very serious problem. I freed up a hand,
I kept grabbing left and right in my hands, trying to find something I could use to lend strength to and temporarily ease the situation. But this underground water system is quite special, and I really can't think of any life-saving straw that I can use to grab it.
Before this thought was finished, my body hit something in the water. Fortunately, the current slowed down and the impact force was greatly reduced, so I was not killed. However, in this way, the momentum of drifting with the current was slightly reduced with the impact.
I didn't care so much about it, I reached out and grabbed around, and I grabbed something as thin as my wrist.
In my hurry, I didn't have time to think carefully about what this thing in the water was, so I grabbed it and refused to let go, and was temporarily stuck in this place. I tried my best to put my head out of the water, and shouted to Ma Dad intermittently, asking him to also grab the thing in the water.
.
Although Ma Dad is a bit older, his intelligence is still good. Especially when encountering dangerous situations, his reaction speed is faster than those of young people in their twenties. Although the surroundings were dark, I soon felt pressure from the other hand.
Suddenly, it was obvious that Ma Dad had also grabbed this wrist-thick thing.
"Let... let go... I'm holding on... holding on tight..." Ma Dad yelled intermittently over the sound of the roaring water.
As soon as I heard that Ma Dad was safe and sound, the stone in my heart finally disappeared. I let go of Ma Dad with my other hand and clung to the unknown object. With both hands working together, I immediately controlled my body in the water and my head.
Even his chest was exposed to the water.
I can’t describe how I feel now. Anyway, I felt a lot calmer all of a sudden. Temporarily out of the edge of life and death, I immediately thought of Lei Duo. I quickly spit out the remaining river water in my mouth and asked Ma Dad: “Ma Dad, where is Lei Duo?”
"Miss Lei's family is here too." Ma Dad obviously had a firm grasp on the unknown object and spoke smoothly: "I will never leave her alone."
Immediately, I heard Lei Duo's trembling voice: "Brother Wei Tian, uncle with slumped shoulders, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
As soon as I heard this, I knew that this girl must have been involved in Ma Dad's second fall down the steep slope. But now I don't even bother to blame her. What I care most about is whether the thing in my hand is strong or not.
This wrist-thick thing seemed to be half underwater and half out of the water. It was bumpy and very rough. It felt like metal and felt relatively solid. I stretched out a hand and continued to explore upward tentatively. This thing
After it emerged from the water, it extended out for a long time, and I couldn't touch the other end for the time being. I twisted it hard, but it didn't move, so I had the idea of climbing up along it. Although the momentum of drifting with the current was temporarily stopped, I kept soaking.
Being in the water is very uncomfortable.
I told Ma Dad and Lei Duo to let them stay still for the time being while I climbed up to try. Lei Duo said softly: "Brother Wei Tian, be careful."
"How wonderful would it be if you were always so knowledgeable?"
"I...I know I was wrong."
"Let's talk about these words slowly later." Ma Dad hurriedly interrupted: "Miss Lei's mistake was also unintentional. Since everyone knows that she was wrong, why are you complaining sourly? Hurry up, don't forget my ankle."
Ma Dad pretended to be like a kind elder, but I knew very well that if someone else had implicated him, Ma Dad would have already been in the water and started fighting with them. Moreover, when he mentioned ankles, I also felt sorry for him.
Fa Mao, there is a waterfall connecting the two rivers. Regardless of whether the last time Ma Dad fell into the water was a ghost or not, it must have been a very deadly thing.
I alternated my hands with each other and slowly climbed up the thing. Before my body completely left the water, I felt that it suddenly became much thicker, and it must be some kind of metal.
How could such a high-purity metal be found in such a place? I muttered to myself, but the movement of my hands did not stop, and I kept climbing up. Gradually, the whole body was completely separated from the river water, and the buoyancy disappeared.
The weight of more than 100 kilograms was a bit overwhelming for both hands. I tried to use my feet to step on the thick part of the wrist on the water, and it was very stable.
As soon as I got out of the water, I was a little unsure. It was too dark and I couldn't see the situation above. If I slipped again and fell, the consequences would be disastrous. But when we fell into the water, we were all empty-handed. We didn't bring a backpack, and the flashlight we carried was already there.
Don't know where it went.
"Master Wei, how are you doing up top?"
"This thing is pretty solid. I think it should be able to support the weight of the three of us, but it's too dark and I can't see anything. I can only climb up bit by bit."
"My lighter is waterproof and windproof. Use it sparingly and hurry up."
As soon as Ma Dad said it, I remembered that he had extorted a high-end lighter from a monk. It was said to be imported. It looked like a naked woman and was waterproof and windproof. Ma Dad cherished it very much and kept it close to his body, as if it could keep up with the naked woman's lighter.
It's like developing feelings.
I cautiously stepped back, fumbled to take the lighter from Ma Dad's hand, shook off the water droplets on it, and lit the flame. This tiny bit of light was extremely precious to us, so I quickly reached up and reached higher.
Exploration, so that the range of illumination can be expanded.
With the light of the lighter, I took a few glances and was sure that the thing I was climbing on was definitely a large metal object, and it seemed to be man-made. The surface of the metal object was very rough, and it looked like it was cast.
The scales came out. When I looked up at its overall shape, I came up with an idea.
