"Someone is coming!" I shouted excitedly. Ma Dad, who was sleeping, sat up and asked anxiously, without even opening his eyes: "Where is it?"
At the same time, people in the distance also saw the fire we lit at the entrance of the cave, and the flashlight beam shone this way. Although we were trapped for more than thirty hours, to us, it seemed like three
century. Ma Dad, Lei Duo, and I almost went crazy, squeezing at the entrance of the cave and shouting at the top of our lungs.
The two bright lights obviously speeded up, but the terrain on the other side of the river was probably very difficult. Although each other appeared in each other's field of vision, it took them nearly an hour to reach the opposite side of us with difficulty.
"Young Master Wei..."
As soon as the two people opposite opened their mouths, I could distinguish the monk's voice from the roaring sound of water. At this moment, I thought the voice was so damn nice, even clearer than the thrush's call.
We chatted for a few words at the top of our lungs, and the monk and another person quickly understood the situation we were in. The two of them were observing the area, probably thinking of ways to rescue us.
After a while, the monk took out the rope from his backpack and worked on it. Then he shouted loudly: "Young Master Wei, pick it up!"
The monk had a strong arm, so he tied something to one end of the rope and swung it across the river. But his accuracy was a bit off. The thing on the rope hit the stone wall and bounced down again, just around the middle of the copper dragon. I stepped on the copper dragon.
Go down and pull the rope back. There is a can tied to the rope.
"Secure it on your side, let the rope hang in the air, and then crawl over, making sure not to get wet." The monk ordered again loudly.
The copper dragon outside the cave weighed several tons. I tied the rope tightly to it, reached out and pulled it hard, and it was very strong. I made preparations, and when I turned around, Ma Dad had already opened the can and was talking to Lei Duo.
Enjoy eating together.
The rope looked very tight and straight, but once I climbed up, it almost dropped to only one or two meters away from the river. I climbed out a few meters while hanging upside down. Recalling the encounter between Lei Duo and Ma Dad, I felt like my hands were shaking.
Trembling vigorously.
However, I knew very well that with the equipment the monks and others brought, there was almost no other way for us to get across safely. So I gritted my teeth and quickly climbed along the rope to the other side. I was so nervous that I didn’t dare to open my eyes. I was afraid that I would
Suddenly a hand pulled me into the river.
I crawled to the other side in one breath. The monk's bald head was still shiny, shining brightly under the illumination of the flashlight, and he smiled like a sign: "Young Master Wei, welcome back."
Lei Duo was the second to grab the rope and start crawling. The man who came with the monk was Zhang Hou. When he saw Lei Duo dangling on the rope, he seemed very nervous and did not dare to say anything. He held up a flashlight to Lei Duo.
Duo lighting.
Fortunately, the girl managed to hold on to her chain at the critical moment. Although she was dazzled by her dangling on the rope, she finally climbed to the other side safely. After a while, Ma Dad also moved smoothly. As soon as his hand loosened the rope, he started to complain: "Monk, you guys
What's going on? It's been almost two days since I came here. Also, Huzi and Lao Zhang don't think of the three of us as dishonest, so they only sent you two."
The monk and Zhang Houhou's clerk looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Ma Dad, just be satisfied. It's already good if you can touch it here."
The three of us were starving, so we took out a bunch of food from our backpacks and ate on the spot. The two monks squatted next to us and told us what happened.
Zhang Houhou saw us falling into the river, especially Lei Duo, who was among them. He almost fainted with fright. Almost at the same time we fell into the water, the rescue work had actually begun. But there was no way to get down to the abyss at the end of the underground river.
Zhang Houhou was so anxious that he had no choice but to use ropes to hang the people down one by one.
After descending to the bottom of the abyss, the road was not easy to walk. By this time, we had long been washed away, and they could only walk down the river bank.
In fact, what I predicted earlier was correct. Not long after Zhang Houhou and the others left, they were blocked.
It was a very narrow section of the river, and it was in a turning position. As a result, the water level rose and almost all the river banks were submerged, making it impossible for people to cross. Zhang Houhou was eager to save people. No matter how many people were there, he sent people into the water and used ropes to control the drifting people.
However, the current was too fast, and people couldn't help themselves when they got into the water. They tried many times in succession, but it didn't work.
In desperation, Zhang Houhou asked people to climb up the stone wall by the river, and climbed up bit by bit. The stone wall is naturally formed, and some places are uneven and uneven, which is easy to climb, and some places are like a knife and an ax.
People who climb the rock wall often climb a certain distance, then accidentally fall into the river, are pulled back by the rope, and continue to climb. This process repeats itself countless times, and finally two people cross this dangerous area.
But the two men left for four or five hours without any news coming back. Zhang Hou got impatient and sent someone over again, and the monk came here for the second time.
At this point, Zhang Houhou's man interrupted and said that they had not met the two people sent out last time along the way.
There are no forks on the river bank. As long as people step on it, they can only follow one road until they reach darkness. From the time we were trapped until now, we have been keeping a close eye on the movements around us, and we can guarantee that we have never found any trace of anyone.
Zhang Houhou's man muttered a few words and said nothing more. But we all knew that these two people would most likely fall into the river and never come back.
Everyone has different opinions and attitudes towards life and death. For example, for a person like Mustache, if one or two people disappear, it will have almost no impact on him. But I can't do this, whether it is my friend or a stranger
Whenever someone, even an enemy, encounters something unexpected in front of me, I will feel a sadness hidden in the deepest part of my heart being instantly activated.
So, when I heard about this, the joy of being rescued was immediately drowned out. The monk seemed to see through my mind and didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he asked us to eat something as soon as possible.
Recover your strength and then join the people behind.
According to the monk, except for the dangerous area that is difficult to cross, the rest of the more than ten kilometers of river bank is barely walkable. There are even some places that are very wide. As long as you return to the dangerous area, you will be considered a victory. There is a group of people gathered there, deadlifting
It can also pull us over.
None of us were injured. As soon as we were rescued, we had a spiritual support and our physical strength recovered quickly. We simply ate some food, and the monk took us back the same way we came.
"Dad, Miss Lei, you two are on the blacklist and both have criminal records. You must be more steady this time. If you make another mistake, I may have to ask the gods to save you." The monk reminded.
Lei Duo rolled his eyes at him, and Ma Dad told him to shut up. The monk grinned, picked up his backpack, and walked out first.
Less than twenty meters away, the road became difficult to walk. I saw Lei Duo swaying as she walked in front, so I quickly reached out to give her a hand. Lei Duo was not polite at all and refused to let go of my hand. He held it.
Holding a warm and soft jade hand, it felt quite good, but the surrounding environment was terrible. I thought it would be better if this was in a park or a shopping mall.
This time we walked very carefully, preferring to go slowly, and never want to happen again such as losing our footing and falling into the water. The monk had already walked this route once, and he remembered the environment along the way very clearly, and would look back to remind us from time to time.
.I expected that it would take at least several hours to walk for more than ten kilometers, but the monk said that there were many bends in the river along the way, and the actual distance was only about eleven or two kilometers.
When they were less than half way through the journey, Zhang Houhou's man obviously tried to please Lei Duo and suggested taking a rest. The monk said without looking back: "There happens to be a wider place ahead. Let's rest there."
The relatively wide area mentioned by the monk is probably the only place suitable for resting on the entire route. A large piece of vertical stone wall is recessed inward. It is very safe to nest in the corner and makes people feel at ease.
In less than half an hour, we had approached the wide area. The monk stepped over and took off his backpack. Just as he was about to walk into the alcove, he suddenly stopped and quickly retreated, leaning against the stone wall.
Go up and give us a hidden gesture.
As the monk's flashlight flickered, I vaguely saw that there seemed to be a dark shadow in the alcove in front of me, climbing up from the ground bit by bit, and I also smelled a not too strong smell.
of stench.
Zhang Houhou's guy also reacted very quickly. As soon as the monk warned him, he immediately stuck behind the monk and reached out to take out the guy. Both of them shined their flashlights forward. I hid behind and took another peek, and my head was buzzing.
One circle.
I really don’t know how to describe what I saw. The dark shadow was like a sponge pad, but it also looked like a human being. It struggled to climb out of a small pit of unknown depth on the ground.
The body was squirming outward. It was like a huge and deformed black silkworm, emerging from its cocoon.
So far, we have not found any signs of living creatures here, but the thing in front of us is obviously alive. Moreover, at such a close distance and with strong light, it has obviously discovered us. But this damn thing
The baby didn't seem to want to avoid us at all, and kept squirming.
Zhang Houhou's clerk was probably very frightened by what he saw. Regardless of what happened, he flashed his flashlight and raised his hand to shoot. The monk stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute!"
The boy didn't listen and insisted on putting down the things in the pit first. The monk was still vigilant, but the flashlight in his hand was fixed at a certain position and said to the boy: "Look!"
The pale yellow light pillar clearly reflected a bit of sparkling brilliance. The guy was confused at first and couldn't figure out the monk's intention, but after a few seconds, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
I kept watching them nervously, especially that little bit of brilliance. When the guy suddenly realized it, I also completely recognized what the monk wanted him to see.
It's a watch!
I finally know how to describe what I see in front of me. This thing is just a big piece of sponge with a watch on it.
This watch is like a reference object. Through it, I quickly realized that this sponge has a head and upper limbs. I can even feel that it has a pair of gray eyes, staring at us.
I suddenly had a very scary thought, could this sponge be a human? Otherwise, there is no way to explain why it wears a watch on one of its upper limbs.
