Chapter 12: Meadow Swamp
Chapter 12: Meadow Swamp
The three of them started to search from the edge of the meadow, from east to west, little by little.
Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen are on both sides, Zhang Xiaobin is in the middle, and there is a distance of five or six steps between the three, which is also the limit of what the eye can see clearly under the grass.
Each of the three men held a round fishing net in their hands, and every two steps, they poked a few times in the grass from time to time to see if they could catch the snails.
The water in the wet grass, the shallow part is just below the surface of the feet, and the depth is only just up to the calves, indifferent to the knees, the water is cold, and it is also very comfortable to wade in the water in the summer, but I think that there may be snails with schistosomes under the soles of my feet, and I can't help but feel a little nervous.
After walking about half the way in the grassland, and not finding any shadow of a snail, Ye Zhenzhen began to mutter, could it be that Senior Nan's judgment just now was wrong? There are no snails here, after all, when I first came to sample, there were no blood fluke eggs and cercariae in the water body here.
But where did those newborn snails come from in the waterfall pool?
Zhen Zhen was wondering in her heart, and suddenly, an exclamation was heard beside her, "Ah......hhhh
Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao turned around at the same time, and found that Zhang Xiaobin, who was originally walking in the middle, had disappeared, and the exclamation just now came from the middle underground.
The two of them ran in the middle at the same time, and after running two steps, they saw a circular irregular hole in the middle of the grass, and the water on both sides flowed to the hole.
Further on, the ground began to loosen.
"Don't move!" shouted Nan Zhiqiao.
Although Ye Zhenzhen stopped, the ground under her feet still cracked, and the surrounding water rushed to the gap.
Hurriedly taking two steps back, the crack widened in all directions, and the weeds and wildflowers around the crack were washed into the crack by the current, and soon, the crack collapsed into a large funnel-shaped crater along the central hole.
Worried about Zhang Xiaobin who fell into the pit, Ye Zhenzhen shouted: "Xiaobin, how are you?"
"I ...... I'm stuck underneath. ”
Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen looked down from the edge of the funnel-shaped pit at the same time, and there was an off-white shadow shaking at the bottom of the pit, it was Zhang Xiaobin in a white T-shirt.
When he went out today, Zhang Xiaobin was wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, and just now the grass suddenly collapsed into a big hole, Zhang Xiaobin fell in, and the white T-shirt on his body was also dyed gray by muddy water.
Zhang Xiaobin's two hands clung to a raised rock at the bottom of the funnel pit, except for the waist up, the rest of his body was trapped in the black hole under the funnel.
The black hole at the bottom of the funnel pit is as big as two people hugging each other, and Zhang Xiaobin is half stuck in the black hole, unable to go up and down.
Nan Zhiqiao tried to go down to the bottom through the collapsed funnel wall and pull Xiao Bin up, but as soon as he was halfway down, the ground began to shake again.
The rock that Zhang Xiaobin was grasping with both hands also suddenly loosened, and seeing that the whole person was about to fall into a black hole, Nan Zhiqiao raised his left hand, and a silver-white steel cable flew out, instantly entangled Xiaobin's arm.
Nan Zhiqiao has been wearing a circle of alloy wire cord on his left wrist, which usually looks like a watch, and like a bracelet, when it is critical, it will automatically pop up when the button is pressed, and this time it saved Xiaobin's life.
Although Xiao Bin was pulled by the wire cable, he still sank some distance towards the black hole, leaving only one arm outside the hole.
"Xiaobin!" shouted Nan Zhiqiao.
"I'm fine. Xiao Bin, who was trapped in the black hole at the bottom of the funnel crater, quickly responded, "There is water down there, it is flowing, and my feet are in the water now." ”
"Can your feet touch hard ground?" asked Nan Zhiqiao.
Xiaobin shook his feet, except for the water, he felt empty, "I can't touch it, I don't know how deep the water is, but the water is flowing, like a river." ”
"Underground Dark River!" Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao spoke at the same time, thinking, this is a karst landform, and it is not strange that there is an underground dark river, but I don't know what the situation is under the dark river.
The water flow of the underground dark river is generally very complicated, if you fall into it, you will not be as lucky as the last time in the National Forest Park of L City, you can escape safely, the most likely is to be washed into an unknown corner by the water flow of the underground dark river, and in the end you may not even find the bones.
Thinking of the severity of the consequences, Ye Zhenzhen also hurriedly moved down the steep slope of the funnel pit, half-climbing and half-slipping, trying to pull Nan Zhiqiao and Xiaobin up.
Suddenly, Xiao Bin's buzzing voice came from the black hole, "It's not good, there's something in the water gnawing at my feet, okay...... Itchy!"
There are living creatures in the water, they will gnaw their feet, they don't hurt, and they itch?
Before she could react to what Xiao Bin was talking about, Ye Zhenzhen had already slid to Nan Zhiqiao's side, grabbed Nan Zhiqiao's hand, and prepared to pull Xiao Bin up together.
As soon as I exerted my strength, the soil on the steep slope of the funnel began to loosen again, and this time, the loose rock layer collapsed instantly, and the original funnel-shaped collapse suddenly became a cylindrical shape straight up and down.
Xiaobin, Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen all fell into the underground river at the bottom of the pit.
Ye Zhenzhen is not good at water, fell into the current, was poured several mouthfuls of water, and was panicking when her feet suddenly touched the hard bottom of the river.
Standing up from the bottom of the river, through the light from the collapsed hole, I vaguely saw Nan Zhiqiao and Zhang Xiaobin also getting up from the river and standing not far away.
"Zhenzhen......" Nan Zhiqiao's anxious voice came.
"Ahem...... I'm here. Ye Zhenzhen was choked by the icy river water and coughed twice, and hurriedly responded.
Nan Zhiqiao stood in the river, followed the sound, looked back and saw Ye Zhenzhen, and the heart that had been hanging was put down.
"Are there any injuries?" asked Minami no Joe.
"No, just a few sips of water, what about you?
"Am I alright?"
"Where's Xiaobin?"
Zhang Xiaobin covered his arms and said in a loud voice, "I'm fine, just a little bruised." ”
The three of them didn't die in a catastrophe, and they didn't even suffer any injuries, which is really lucky, but how are they going to get out next?
The three of them looked up at the same time, and the collapsed pit was directly above the three of them, the pit was irregular in shape, the pit wall went straight up and down, and some strangely shaped stones protruded from the outside.
There is a distance of about two meters from the bottom of the pit to the water surface where the three people are, and the thickness of the pit wall is also one or two meters, and the soil on both sides of the collapsed pit wall is loose, and there is a danger of collapsing again at any time.
Looking down again, the three of them are now in an empty underground karst cave, the collapsed cave entrance is directly above the karst cave, an underground dark river passes through the karst cave, and a circular pool similar to the shape of the karst cave is formed in the center of the karst cave, and then look at the source and place of the underground dark river, because the light is too dim to see clearly, it can only be vaguely seen that the river narrows at the edge of the karst cave.
The trio stood in the central pool formed by the underground river, as the layer of rock that had fallen off from the top piled up at the bottom of the pool, and the water was only below the knees of the trio.
The edge of the circular pool is a flat rocky floor, and there is no way out, so you have to find another way out.
