Chapter 168: Democratic Thought
Zhou Yuanhang heard that his threat was completely ineffective, so he flew up angrily and kicked on the door, and this time Master Jia outside was even more proud, giggling non-stop, and said while laughing: "What's the matter, do you feel angry?" Hahaha, you want to go against me, you're still too tender! It's also a good thing to have more than 1,000 people buried with me. ”
Li Hao motioned for everyone to be quiet, go to this house and look around, maybe there will be some place to go out, but unfortunately there are stone buildings everywhere, the windows are so small that even the little wolf can't get out, Qiangzi and Luo Daxi keep trying to open a hole in the wall, but every time they get disappointment.
"Hahaha, you give up, you can't get out here at all, our ancestors tried their best to protect this rock, how could it be so easy for you to succeed." After laughing, Master Jia turned to leave, walked two steps and suddenly stopped and said, "The three children you want to save will also accompany you on the road, because they have offended me like you." ”
You can imagine how angry Li Hao and the others were when they heard this, now not only are they trapped in the stone castle and will die at any time, but even the three lovely innocent children will be poisoned by Master Jia because of their involvement, especially when Luo Daxi heard this, the whole person kept hitting and kicking the stone door like an angry bull, and he refused to stop knowing that blood was oozing from his fist.
Li Hao really couldn't bear it, so he came over and hugged Luo Daxi, and said to him: "You have to be quiet, let's figure out a way together." If we continue to make noise like this, it will only waste time and make us unable to calm down and think. ”
Luo Daxi stopped at this time, leaned helplessly on the door and slowly sat on the ground. He didn't feel the pain in his hands at all, the anger in his heart was what made him feel the most tired, if the three children died because of them, Luo Daxi would not forgive himself no matter what.
Qiangzi walked to the well, looked at the situation inside, looked up and said, "Li Hao, maybe our only way out is here." Hearing Qiangzi's voice, Li Hao and Luo Daxi both looked at him. Seeing Hadron standing by the well, both men walked over and looked at the glittering underground river below.
Li Hao thought for a while and nodded, "That's true." There's only one way. Hearing Li Hao say the same, Luo Daxi immediately took off his clothes and was about to jump down, Li Hao stopped him and said, "Wait, what are you going to do." ”
"Get out. We're going to hurry. The three children may have been tied up by now. It's urgent. Luo Daxi was already standing on the well rock, ready to jump down at any time, he didn't think about whether there would be any danger underwater, all he thought about in his mind was to get out quickly and save the three children, you can say that he is rough and has no plan to do things, this guy is always so considerate of others, and never thinks about his own safety.
Of course, Li Hao understands his partner. At the moment, he stopped talking nonsense, and said to Qiangzi while undressing: "You follow." Swim in the direction of the small river along the village first, don't get lost after going down, there should be an exit when you swim to the river, save the three of them and then discuss how to leave this ghost place. ”
Qiangzi saw that Li Hao also began to undress and knew that he was about to leave, and he also began to prepare, after listening to what Li Hao said, he was also ready, nodded at Li Hao to indicate that there was no problem, Li Hao was turning to Zhou Yuanhang, and saw him taking off his clothes and said: "I hate water, I hate water." Although he said this, he did not stop his preparation, and soon stood on the well rock. At this moment, the four of them were standing in Jingyan wearing only close-fitting clothes, looking at each other, Li Hao said: "Try not to separate after going down, find a waterway that can lead to the river, the situation below is unknown, it is possible that you won't be able to come up after going down, understand?" ”
Of course, a few people know what kind of situation they will face when they jump, maybe they will never be able to get up again as Li Hao said, after all, no one knows where the underwater passage will lead, and it is not clear whether there is enough oxygen, the only advantage is that there is enough light below, not in the dark, which is the only comfort for Zhou Yuanhang.
"Knock knock knock" five sounds came out of the wellhead, splashing waves flew out of the well rock, Li Hao and the little wolf had jumped into the water, as soon as they entered the water, they felt the coldness of the river water, cold to the bone marrow, such a water temperature must be below zero, the strange thing is that it did not freeze, the skin of several people immediately felt like a knife cut, the biting cold made several people's hands and feet become numb, the instinct of survival supported several people to paddle their arms, and the water flow took them away from the ice core rock, and it took a long time for the four of them to adapt to it.
It didn't take long for a fork in front of them to appear under the water, and the water from another river flowed into the river they were in now, Li Hao felt that the temperature of this current was much higher than the water temperature of the river they were in now, so he gestured to everyone to move along this river.
After entering the river that Li Hao said, everyone felt that the water temperature had increased a lot, the body had become comfortable, and the feeling of pain and numbness had been greatly reduced, but unfortunately this was a countercurrent, which put a lot of pressure on the limbs that had just felt comfortable.
Li Hao motioned for everyone to stop first, try to grasp the smooth stone wall next to him with his hands to stabilize, and go to explore first, Luo Daxi insisted on following Li Hao, Li Hao had to agree, took a deep breath and dived into the water, the water of the river is clear and transparent, much cleaner than the water flowing out of the faucet at home, in such water I opened my eyes and did not feel any discomfort, after swimming forward for about ten minutes, Li Hao and they saw that the light on the water surface changed, not brighter but darker, which means that they have gone out of the underground waterway.
Out of the waterway, Luo Daxi said: "Mouse, you go and pick them up, I'll go find the three children." Without waiting for Li Hao to speak, this guy had already swam to the shore, and Li Hao knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to shout to him: "Gather in the square later." ”
Luo Daxi swam in the water and didn't look back, he agreed directly, the river was not wide and soon came ashore, Li Hao had already entered the waterway at this time, and returned to Qiangzi, this short time of less than twenty minutes was a big deal for these two people, seeing the water Li Hao came out, Qiangzi hurriedly asked: "How is it?" ”
Li Hao let out a long breath and said: "The river in front is the river that runs through the village, and you can swim there in about ten minutes. Saying that, Li Hao looked at Zhou Yuanhang, holding his breath underwater for more than ten minutes, there was no difficulty for him and Luo Daxi, and there was barely any problem with Qiangzi, but it was very difficult for Zhou Yuanhang.
"How? Fatty, can you stand it? Li Hao asked, Zhou Yuanhang secretly complained in his heart, he smiled bitterly and said: "I knew it would be like this, come on, my mouth must be rinsed clean when I will do artificial respiration." ”
The three of them took a deep breath and dived into the water, Li Hao took Zhou Yuanhang with his hand and swam forward in the water, just now I don't know how far the waterway is, so he still retains his physical strength, and now he knows that the waterway is about ten minutes away, Li Hao paddled hard with all his strength, and took Zhou Yuanhang to swim as fast as a torpedo, and in less than five minutes Li Hao took Zhou Yuanhang to swim out of the underground waterway and into the river, although it was only five minutes, but Zhou Yuanhang also drank a stomach of water, and went ashore and lay on the ground and vomited for a long time before relieving himself.
After a while, Qiangzi also floated up from the water, and after he came ashore, he saw Zhou Yuanhang lying there, and asked with concern, "How is it?" You okay? Zhou Yuanhang turned over, raised his hand and shook his head and said, "It's okay, you go to the square, I'll rush over later." ”
Li Hao nodded, and he said to the little wolf lying there panting, "Stay here and protect the fat man." The little wolf heard Wang's scream, saying that there was no problem, Li Hao and Qiangzi ran to the square, on the way to someone else's house to set clothes, along the way did not see the villagers, it seems that people have gone to the square, I hope they have time this time, the two people sped up, quickly ran to the square, before the people arrived, they had already heard the crowd in the square, needless to say, Luo Daxi had already begun to fight there.
But things were not as bad as they expected, Luo Daxi was surrounded by a lot of people with weapons and stood on the execution table, with him were three children and their families, all of them were emotional, the weapons in their hands were shaking, and they would jump up and fight him at any time, this guy had offended too many people before, and everyone clearly remembered that it was this black charcoal-like guy who broke the leg of a young man in their village, and now he actually ran back.
Seeing from afar that they haven't done it yet, Li Hao and Qiangzi are also relieved, they are wearing the clothes of the villagers, so no one pays attention to their arrival, the platform has been three layers inside and three layers outside, out of fear of Luo Daxi and pity for the child, no one rushed up for the time being, and everyone didn't want to see the child killed like this, but hoped that these people could overthrow Master Jia.
At this moment, Zhou Yuanhang also ran over with a snort, he didn't see Li Hao and Qiangzi, after seeing Daxi, he squeezed directly into the crowd and stood with Luo Daxi, Daxi saw that a helper came, so he asked Zhou Yuanhang to translate for himself, and told the villagers what he had just thought of: "You don't have to worry about him, don't be afraid of him, he has no right to punish every one of you!" As long as you are united, there is no need to worry. "The villagers with weapons obviously heard such words for the first time, they had no concept of democracy, but at this time someone said such words still attracted them, and that was why they didn't pounce and cut them down.
