Chapter 18 Dead End

"Damn, we are so unlucky now. People say there is no end to the road, but they are just trying to push us to the end! If I had known, I wouldn't have come with you. Maybe now I will

I've returned home and slept with my wife in my arms. Now I'm fine. I can't go up or down. I can't go forward. I can't go back. There's only one way, and that's a dead end. The old blind man in my mother's town told me my fortune and said I can

He lived to be eighty-eight and cost me fifty yuan. Damn it, this uncle is going to die young. Even if he dies, I will turn into a ghost and go back and tear down his stall.

I want the fifty dollars back."

Normally, when he heard this, someone would definitely scold him again, but now everyone kept their mouths tightly closed and said nothing. They were already so frightened that they had no intention of scolding others.

If I had not experienced so many things before, I might be as confused as they were at this time, but I was not completely desperate at this time. Past experiences told me not to give up easily until the last moment, because miracles often happen at the moment.

In that last second.

Shuiyue, like me, kept looking around. Finally, I took out the flashlight again and took pictures all over.

Facts have proved how important it is to stay calm in critical situations. Soon I discovered that the waterfall was sloping downward, and the space became larger the further down. I vaguely saw the shadow of a tree in the darkness.

It was about ten meters below us. An idea suddenly occurred to us. Now we are in a situation where we need to use some slippery rocks to stabilize our bodies. We must be careful in every move. And if we can get to that tree

You can free your hands and feet, take some measures, and maybe find a way out.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided that the risk was worth taking. I immediately patted Shuiyue's little hand next to me, winked at her, and jumped down.

"Ah..." Several screams came from above. They probably thought I lost my footing and fell.

Soon I fell to the top of the tree, and the force of my fall broke some branches, but in the end I stopped, even though many parts of my body were hurt by the branches.

I sat up from the branch and quickly looked around. This tree was actually not small. It grew close to the rocks. The root of the tree was half a meter thick, and the branches were very dense. Especially when the branches of this big tree started to grow.

They must have been impacted by the water flow, so the branches are very tough. Not many of them broke when I jumped down just now. Even if eight of us came up together, it wouldn't be a problem.

We are still about forty meters away from the water below. This distance is already within our control. At least we have enough time to think of a solution on this tree.

I took out the electric light and shined it on it, flashing it twice. About two minutes later, a dark figure jumped down from the top again. I knew it was Shuiyue as soon as I saw her figure. She was much more skilled than me and could easily do it.

He was held up by the branches, then he turned over like a normal person and slid lightly to my side.

"Huh, that's too serious, cousin. I didn't find a chance to talk to you along the way. I think your classmates are very interesting!" Because the sound of the waterfall was too loud, she put her mouth to my ear and said.

I felt like there was something behind her words, so I looked at her doubtfully. I thought there must be something behind what she said.

Sure enough, she continued: "I'm a little curious. They are city dwellers. Most people will stay away when encountering such things. Why do they have to stay? And they were very calm and thinking very well along the way.

It’s so clear!”

I frowned. I have never paid attention to these issues. It is a bit strange to hear it now. Just like when I encountered danger for the first time in the Tai Chi Tomb, I was completely confused. It can be said that I had no idea at that time.

What to do next, they fell into confusion and fear. Although a few of them also showed scared looks, they were always very calm. Not only did they stay awake enough, but their thinking ability was not affected at all. It was because of us.

Are there many people? Or have they expected to encounter many dangers? Or have they been mentally prepared for it?

Although I had some doubts in my heart, I didn't doubt their intentions. Because everything that happened here was an accident, and even we came here because of an accident. They couldn't predict it. Maybe they thought someone here was

It is normal to have some greedy thoughts in my heart about what is hidden in the depths, treasures or huge secrets. Even I have some thoughts in my heart, let alone them.

Soon all six of them came down, but they seemed to be very careful. They didn't jump down directly, but climbed down slowly. However, there was a very smooth area four or five meters away from the tree, and there was no way to use force here.

, they had no choice but to jump down.

This tree grows upwards close to the water of the waterfall and the mountain wall. It is very clever. However, there is still no way to go. It is surrounded by water. But now we are not very nervous, at least for a short time.

Don't worry about your life being threatened.

Everyone brought some dry food, and we ate some at will. Most of our physical strength was restored, but we were very tired mentally. We didn't rest all night and performed a series of high-intensity exercises. We were always mentally stressed.

Now, as soon as I relax, a deep tiredness comes over me, causing my eyelids to close involuntarily.

We grown men were better off, but the two delicate girls Guo Yingying and Song Meiting couldn't bear it anymore. They had just eaten and soon fell asleep on a dense branch. Even the huge

The sound of the waterfall didn't even block it.

Liu Qingping wanted to wake them up, but I stopped them. They could just sleep if they wanted to. It was rare that there was a place to rest here, which was just enough for us to refresh ourselves.

I signaled Shuiyue to take a rest as well. From here you can see her vigilant character. She gently moved behind me and leaned against my back before closing her eyes.

She woke up about two hours later, and she took over my place. It was a very restless sleep. There was a waterfall in front of me, and we were in an unknown place. There was always a bit of surprise.

Anyway, I still felt a little tired when I woke up.

After everyone else woke up, we began to discuss countermeasures. Being in this closed environment was more uncomfortable than being locked in a cage, because we were surrounded by dangers and uncertainties, and no matter what we did, we were greatly restricted.

.

In the end, we had no choice but to go underwater. The rope we brought was fifty meters long, enough to reach the water. I tied one end of the rope to a tree root and climbed down.

The water surface was rolling violently, but you could still steady yourself by clinging to the stone wall. Everyone else came down, and we couldn't hear anything except the sound of water. We had already discussed the countermeasures when we were above and decided to go under the water.

The impact of the waterfall is too great, but being underwater should relieve a lot of pressure. As long as you dive to the bottom, you can swim out with the current.

I took a deep breath and quickly plunged into the water. The tumbling water made my body drift around uncontrollably. I resisted the influence of external forces while diving towards the bottom of the water. Finally, when I was almost exhausted, I touched the bottom of the water.

rock.

Here, the impact of the water flow on people has been minimized. I swam forward for a while and encountered the greatest resistance. In fact, this was not resistance but suction, pulling my body like a whirlpool. I thought this was the waterfall.

down position.

Gritting my teeth, I dived in. Suddenly, the world was spinning. The huge water hitting my body felt like a huge boulder pressing on my body, squeezing out all the internal organs. I tried my best to endure the severe pain.

Let the current carry me to other places.

Suddenly, I felt relaxed, and I couldn't help but feel happy. I knew that I had escaped from the whirlpool, but at this moment my head was hit hard and I lost consciousness in an instant.

I don’t know how long it took for me to wake up slowly, but I still felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. It was all my fault for being too careless. A waterfall with that kind of flow would definitely create a huge hole in the ground. I thought I might

It was because he hit the stone wall of the pit that he fainted.

I sat up and realized that I was lying on a smooth boulder. There were several figures sitting not far away, it was Shuiyue and the others. And there was another person lying next to me, Liu Qingping. It seemed that I was not the only one who was unlucky.

One, he must have been knocked unconscious just like me.

I shook his head, and he soon opened his eyes. After looking around confusedly, he grinned. "Haha, uncle, I'm not dead yet? I thought it was definitely over this time, but I didn't expect it."

Save a life. People say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Does this mean that I am going to make a fortune?"

This is a heartless guy, but it is precisely this kind of nerve that allows him to get here without being too emotionally affected.

At this time, I vaguely heard crying. Needless to say, it must have been Song Meiting, a delicate girl. She must have suffered a lot and couldn't bear it anymore. Now she must be regretting why she came here.

We walked over and realized why she was crying. It turned out that her foot was twisted and it was difficult to walk. I found some panic and fear in her eyes. She must be afraid that we would leave her here.

It's human nature, I thought. After looking at the surrounding situation, I don't know where in the mountain we are now. We are surrounded by tall peaks and rocks everywhere. Next to us is the river formed by the waterfall left behind. The water flow

It has become very gentle, but the river surface is not wide. There must be forks upstream, and the river water is dispersed.
