Chapter 13: A dilemma

I tried to hold him, but I didn't have time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Manji's father bent his waist, flashed and intermittently advanced, and at a distance of more than 20 meters from Wen Ya and them, he stopped, found an air root as cover, and leaned down to look inside. I was a little far away, and I didn't dare to turn on the flashlight at this time, so I had a hard time watching.

Vaguely, I saw that the three of them suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Is this a salute to whom? After the ceremony, the three of them got up and began to untie their clothes. This...... I was very anxious, I was worried that Wen Ya had such a good figure, would he be looked at by Manji's father. I involuntarily looked at Manji's father, but found that behind him, there seemed to be a dark shadow lying at his feet. The black shadow was almost against Manji's father's back, and gradually got up, but at this time, Ah Zhe was defenseless.

"Ah, behind you!" I sensed that something was wrong, and shouted to him.

In an instant, the shadow rose into the air, biting Manji's father's head and flying out.

"No!!" I sprinted over the 100 meters, but the shadow and A-Zhe were nowhere to be seen.

I was so exhausted that I fell to my knees in despair.

However, after a while, I thought that there was Wenya Jiajia Li Zong on the side, and I didn't care about wiping my tears, I ran in their direction, and something strange happened, the three people who were still here just now disappeared at this moment. Under the huge banyan tree, only me and their clothes remained.

"Wen Ya, Jia Jia, Li Zong!" I shouted without hesitation, and the empty night was only an echo of myself.

"Where did you go, you were here just now?" The more anxious I was, the more things happened, and I was caught off guard by the sudden situations one after another, and I didn't know what to do next for a while.

Flashlight! Yes, get the flashlight back so you can find out more details. I was about to turn around, but suddenly I heard the music of "Snake Eater". At this time, this voice sounded, and there was no doubt that a bombshell was dropped in my heart, and my scalp exploded in an instant!

I looked up where the sound was coming from, and it came from the pile of clothes on the ground. When I lifted my clothes, I saw that it was Jiajia's mobile phone, and on the screen, Manji's mother's little snake was spinning in place again. I suddenly got angry in my heart, who was operating behind the scenes, and we were playing around, thinking that I picked up my phone and fell to the ground. Under the huge impact, the mobile phone battery was thrown out, the screen was shattered into slag, and the electronic components were spilled all over the ground. Eventually, the annoying music stopped, the screen went black, and the whole world went clean. I finally let out a bad breath and relieved my hatred. However, where can it be so simple, and then the phone stabbed twice, and the screen lit up again, under the refraction of broken glass, glowing red and green, and Manji's mother's little snake spun in place, surrounded by snakes shuttling back and forth.

Not good! I screamed in my heart, knowing that I was in danger at this time. Sure enough, the surrounding rattans writhed unnaturally, and the end that had been hanging down naturally slowly raised its head like a snake. At this time, if all the rattans are aimed at me and attack, I will not be able to fly even if I have wings. However, I don't believe that Wen Ya will just disappear into thin air, and must have been transferred when I fell to my knees in agony. I looked around, and sure enough, there was a large hole in the root of the trunk of the banyan tree, the size of which an adult man could pass through. It must be here, my instincts make me so sure. Just as all the rattans were flying towards me, I dodged and plunged headlong into the hole.

The hole was much deeper than I had thought, and it was only after I had almost figured out the whole story of the incident that I finally hit the ground hard. I could feel that it was inside the rhizome of the big banyan tree, surrounded by uneven roots, and it fell so far that my waist was about to break. I struggled to my feet, and this time it was fine, not as cramped as the last time I fell into that passage, at least the person could stand completely upright. Sadly, however, there was no light at all, and no matter how much I stared and rubbed my eyes, it was still pitch black, and if so, I don't know what happened to me.

I was anxious again, I thought that finding this tree hole would be a desperate situation, but it turned out that there was no plan for the next step, just pushing myself from one dangerous situation to another. I could smell the danger here, because there was a putrid smell everywhere, not just the rotting mildew of the branches and leaves, but also the smell of dead rats—at least I'm sure, the stench of rotting animals. After staying under this smell for a long time, I'm afraid it's not lifeless if I don't die.

I groped my way forward two steps, but my feet were full of stumbling roots, and I couldn't make it any way. At this time, I really regret dying, why should I be so irrational and smash my phone, not only can I illuminate, but also judge whether there is a "snake corpse" around me. Then again, this time the "snake corpse" incarnated as a rattan? Thinking of the rattan, I looked up with palpitations, I don't know if there will be a "chasing soldier" coming in, suddenly, there is a "rumbling and rumbling" bump sound from the tree hole, I was shocked, could it be that there is really a chasing soldier? I panicked and tried to leave, but my foot was caught by the roots of the tree, and my center of gravity was unstable and I planted it backwards. At the same time, a heavy object fell in front of him with a "bang".

I covered my mouth, I didn't dare to come out, looking at this movement, it was a big thing. However, there was a slight moaning sound from the object. Then, I saw a light in front of me, and suddenly a miserable white face appeared, I took a big breath, and before I could shout the word "ah", I fainted in a hurry.

I don't know how long later, I heard the faint call of "baby, baby" in my ears. My tears poured out unconsciously, Manji Dad, will we never see each other again in this life?

However, the call of "baby baby" became clearer and clearer, and then a foul smell struck, and I was disgusted and vomited. Well, it was the five senses that woke up, and I was back in the hole.

"Ono, are you alright?" I felt a pair of large, warm hands caressing my back. When I heard this voice, I had mixed feelings, "Daddy Manji, it's great that you're still alive...... It's great......" I gently leaned on Manji's father's shoulder, and the joy of losing and the anxiety of suffering from gain and loss were mixed in my heart, blocking my chest, making me choke and speechless.

"It's okay, I'm by your side, don't be afraid." He patted me gently on the back, as if to soothe a child.

Later, Manji's father told me about his experience after being captured by the shadows, although this cave is not a good place to listen to stories.

It turned out that the black shadow that entangled him was a tree vine. However, what is terrifying is that the end of the vine is not a rattan, but a human body. The body has no legs, and the lower limbs gradually shrink and merge with the rattan, as if it is a snake demon with a human face and a snake body. After Manji's father was entangled, he was hidden in the canopy, so what happened later, Manji's father saw it really on the tree, but his mouth was also entangled in rattan, so he couldn't speak. When he saw me fall into a hole in a tree, he was worried that I would be unlucky, so he tried to cut the vine with the knife he had hidden in his hand. Unexpectedly, the vine screamed and let go, and Manji's father fell down the tree and threw himself into the hole with a roll.

"How can the vines scream?" I asked, surprised.

"Yes, it's not so much a vine, but it's more like flesh and blood, I cut it with a knife, I can feel the rattan soft, and the knife wound will obviously cause a lot of damage to it."

"Really? If so, then there is still hope for survival! I said excitedly.

Manji's father nodded affirmatively, "This tree hole must not be simple, I'm afraid there is a lot ahead." When I was in the tree, I saw Li Zong and they walked into this tree hole, so we walked along the hole and should be able to find them. ”

"Then let's go!" I said eagerly, I was afraid that if we delayed any longer, they would really become nourishment.

Manji's father was on his mobile phone, and we climbed forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. However, the more I walked towards the heart of the tree, the more dizzy I felt, the more nausea I felt, and it was difficult to breathe. The methane here is too heavy, and some of these rhizomes, large and small, are as thick as a two-metre-high wall, and they have to be used with both hands and feet after a few steps, which is too physically demanding, and will also cause shortness of breath and inhale more poisonous gas. Manji's father looked at me who was getting weaker and weaker, and he was anxious in his heart, if he continued like this, I was afraid that if I didn't see Wenya and them, I would have died here.

My vision began to blur, my limbs became weaker and weaker, and vaguely, I felt Daddy Manji carry me on his back and climb hard.

"No, you can't do this, ......let me go," I said weakly, "and if you keep going like this, you'll fall too." However, Daddy Manji clamped me tighter, and I heard the sound of his heavy breathing, and I only felt helpless and heartache.

I didn't know how long I climbed, and suddenly, I felt a wisp of fresh wind blowing, and I heard the faint sound of running water in my ears, and at the same time I heard Manji's father shouting excitedly, "Saved!" Baby, we're saved! I tried to raise my head and look ahead, and it turned out to be an underground river, and a gentle breeze was blowing in the direction of the river. If there is wind, there is an outlet, and this river must lead to land.

"Baby, as long as we walk along the river, we will definitely be able to get out." Manji's father said firmly.

We finally came to the river, a small river that was 2 meters wide and crystal clear, and was estimated to be knee-deep. Manji's father scooped up a handful of water and smelled it, there was no smell, and he stretched out his tongue and licked it, his brows stretched, so he took another handful and sent it to me. I took a sip, it was sweet and sweet, and I instantly felt a light in my heart. We drank some water by the river, rested for a while, felt a lot of vitality, and the symptoms of dizziness and nausea were relieved.

"Ono, I think we need to adjust our decision." Manji's father suddenly said in a deep voice.

When I heard this, my heart tightened, and I knew what he was going to say. We were so optimistic that we didn't understand the ecology inside the hollow of the tree so much that we almost died here because of the methane. Today, the only way to survive is to walk along the river out of the tree holes. But in this way, I am afraid that we will never have the opportunity to see Wen Ya, Jia Jia and Li Zong again.

We didn't say anything more, we looked at each other with solemn faces, neither of us wanting to say anything about the decision. Finally, Manji's father sighed and said, "Ono, no matter what, I hope you can survive because I love you......"

"But we can't let our friends die ......in peril," I said in a choked voice.

"I know...... I won't embarrass you, I'll help you get them out, can you trust me? ”

"No, I don't want it!" I knew that Manji's father would be like this, and I grabbed his clothes so hard that tears fell. Manji's father looked at me, and his eyes were red.

Just as we were at a stalemate, a familiar melody sounded in the hollow of the tree—the music of the "Snake Eater".
