Chu Tianshu grabbed the sleeping bag in his hand, and felt dizzy in front of him due to excitement.

This was the third time he had seen this kind of peach blossom drawn from blood.

The first time was Liu Chunna's, the second time was Zheng Xiaomin's, I didn't expect that the third time would be cold snow!

Leng Xue happened to come over and saw the blood stains on the sleeping bag, she asked, "Is the wound on your thigh broken again?" ”

"Nope." Chu Tianshu touched his thigh in embarrassment.

Leng Xue's face became hot.

In Leng Xue's view, the most precious membrane on his body, after the harsh and difficult special training, has long ceased to exist, many of the comrades-in-arms of the year have been married and have children, they had a party when Leng Xue retired, and almost all admitted that they had an embarrassing wedding night.

This cannot but be said to be a miracle!

Leng Xue silently snatched the sleeping bag from Chu Tianshu's hand, knelt on the ground, folded it very carefully, and put it into her mountaineering backpack.

After packing up, Leng Xue asked Chu Tianshu: "Is there a river under Xiufeng Mountain?" ”

"Yes, the Qinglian River goes around the mountain."

"In other words, if we walk out of the cave and get out of the cave, we can reach the exit by the Qinglian River."

"Quite possibly!"

Leng Xue couldn't help it and shouted, "Don't hesitate, let's go." ”

Chu Tianshu checked the power of the flashlight, proposed to turn it off first, lit a candle, picked up a thumb-thick branch, and led the way ahead without hesitation.

Leng Xue held a branch and followed closely behind Chu Tianshu.

But after walking for about a few tens of meters, a fork in the road suddenly appeared, and two holes of similar size appeared in front of me.

Chu Tianshu and Leng Xue stopped at the same time.

In the orienteering club, there are senior brothers who study geology, and Chu Tianshu heard them mention the formation law of caves.

He said: "In terms of distance, it is estimated that there are at least two kilometers or so of the riverside leading to the bottom of the mountain, and it usually takes hundreds of years for such a long cave to form, and it is normal for there to be a diversion or tributary in the middle. ”

After hundreds of years of heavy rains, the mudslides on the mountain are constantly looking for an outlet, and after erosion again and again, a small gap is gradually impacted into a cave with the tenacity of water droplets. As the mountain moves slowly, the previously formed caves may be blocked and the water will find its way back to the exit, which is where the forks in the cave come from.

Leng Xue was silent, and both of them fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Chu Tianshu lay on the ground, listened for a while, and then stood up and said: "Leng Xue, you lie on the spot and don't move, I'll walk to one of them for a while, and then lie on the ground and listen to the sound of the tide surging, if the sound is getting louder and louder, it means that you are on the right track, I will high-five you to follow up, if the voice is quiet, I will retreat." ”

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Leng Xue waved her arm, but she gasped in pain. "However, you must not venture forward, you are really not sure, and then go back and listen to the sound of another hole."

According to Chu Tianshu's idea, they advanced in an orderly manner, during which they also encountered a situation where there were three holes, and they made a mistake, and after they tentatively advanced dozens of meters from one hole, they found that the sound of the tide was quieter, so they hurriedly retreated back and re-selected the hole, until they were sure that the sound of the other hole was louder than the previous one, and then they continued to move forward boldly and confidently.

The four small candles ran out quickly, Chu Tianshu discussed with Leng Xue, and decided not to turn on the flashlight without encountering a fork in the road, in order to save power as much as possible, after all, with a distance of more than two thousand meters, it is difficult to predict how long it will take to get out.

After walking for more than ten meters in the dark, there was a sudden sound of hula, and Chu Tianshu, who was walking in front, shouted: "Oops...... Cold snow, be careful. ”

Leng Xue felt a gust of fishy wind blowing in his face, and quickly covered his face with one and waved the branch in his other hand.

Chu Tianshu turned on the flashlight.

Bats, a swarm of huge bats are attacking them.

"Mom!" Leng Xue let out a scream.

Don't look at Leng Xue can be fearless in the face of fierce animals such as jackals, tigers and leopards, but she is most afraid of soft animals like mice and bats.

It seems to be a woman's nature!

A bat came straight to Leng Xue's face door with the sound of the wind, Chu Tianshu couldn't resist the bat that attacked him, and used a trick to grab his hand, pinched the bat that rushed towards Leng Xue, and fell to the ground with his hand.

Chu Tianshu took off the clothes on his body and threw them to Leng Xue: "Hurry up, cover your face." ”

Chu Tianshu, who was only wearing a vest, was scratched by a bat, and blood oozed from several places such as his shoulders and arms.

The wind emitted by the bats is very human.

Leng Xue clinged tightly to Chu Tianshu's back.

Chu Tianshu waved the branches desperately, trying his best to resist the bat's attack.

Fortunately, the bats didn't bother with them too much, and they flew over the heads of the two of them, flying the way they came.

"Squat down, they'll be flying back soon." Chu Tianshu greeted Leng Xue.

Because the hole over there has been blocked, the bat will be able to tell by the sound waves emitted when it flies over.

As soon as the two of them hugged their heads and squatted down, a gust of wind swept overhead again.

Chu Tianshu wiped the sweat from his head and let out a sigh.

"Great!" Chu Tianshu shouted, chasing the bat for a few steps.

Leng Xue reacted immediately: the original hole entrance was blocked, and the bats immediately turned around and flew in the other direction, their sensitive sense in the dark just enough to show them the way.

That's the hope of survival!

Chu Tianshu's wound was still bleeding, and from time to time there would be a pain like a piercing heart, he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, leading Leng Xue's follower bat to move forward quickly.

With the bats leading the way, their speed increased markedly, and as the minutes passed, the sound of the tide surging gradually increased.

However, the bats are flying significantly faster than they are chasing.

After chasing a few hundred of them, the bats flew away.

They continued to grope their way forward.

Suddenly, Chu Tianshu, who was walking in front, shouted again: "Cold snow, stand still." ”

Then there was a tumbling sound.

Leng Xue quickly stopped and flashed a flashlight.

It turned out that Chu Tianshu stepped into the air and rolled down a slope.

"How's it going, Tianshu?" Leng Xue, who followed closely, stopped her steps, if it weren't for Chu Tianshu's reminder, if she stepped on it again, it was very likely that she would repeat Chu Tianshu's mistake.

Chu Tianshu struggled to get up, his body covered in muddy water.

"Snake, snake, snake." Leng Xue suddenly screamed in horror.

A snake covered in patterns threw its head back at the cold snow, its tongue squeaking from its mouth.

Chu Tianshu stepped forward with an arrow step and stepped on the tail of the poisonous snake with his foot.

The poisonous snake swooped down and turned around and pounced on Chu Tianshu.

Leng Xue's eyes were quick, and the branch in his hand was fiercely pumped towards the poisonous snake.

The viper turned to attack Cold Snow again.

Leng Xue took a few steps back in fright.

Chu Tianshu took out the dagger and slashed at the snake's head.

The viper struggled a few times, but remained motionless.

There was a false alarm, and both of them seemed to be a little exhausted, and they stood there gasping for air.

Chu Tianshu and Leng Xue glanced at each other.

"Cold snow, let's rest for a while. There are snakes, which means that it is not too far from the exit. Chu Tianshu saw that the frightened Leng Xue's face was pale, and she refused to sit down against the edge of the cave when she said anything.

Helpless, Chu Tianshu had to hold her in his arms and let her sit on his lap.

Leng Xue leaned against Chu Tianshu's chest, and her heart was still pounding.

Chu Tianshu hugged her warm body and gently patted her back.

The two closed their eyes and recuperated, and the cave was silent.

Suddenly, the sound of water came from far and near.

"It's not good, the river is rising and pouring into the hole." Chu Tianshu opened his eyes suddenly.

Cold snow leapt up from his body.

Chu Tianshu wanted to stand up, but his legs were so numb that he didn't obey the call, and he sat down again, fortunately, Leng Xue heard Chu Tianshu's movement and grabbed a handful, so Chu Tianshu didn't fall to the ground.

Leng Xue turned on the flashlight, and the sound of the river surging came from the cave, and the river slapped on the cave wall with a loud sound.

This is a good sign, but definitely not good news.

The river rose and poured into the cave, and they had no need to worry about the direction they were going.

However, once the tide continues to rise, it will block their way out and trap them in their holes.

Leng Xue rushed into the water at the entrance of the cave with a step, "Slow! Chu Tianshu grabbed her. Now that the river is pouring back, you will definitely not be able to rush away, and you will only waste your physical strength in vain. ”

"What then?"

"When the tide is low, float out of the river along the river." Chu Tianshu suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Leng Xue: "...... you Can you get into the water now? ”

Leng Xue hesitated, but nodded resolutely, and a warm current surged in her heart: This man is really careful, what he thought of was that yesterday's ***, Leng Xue broke her body, and the cold and dirty river water would be bad for her body.

In the past few days, heavy rain has fallen in the Qingyuan area, and the river water has been rising, and it is difficult to say whether there will be a second chance if the tide has been missed.

Chu Tianshu, who had lived in Qingyuan for a long time, naturally knew what was at stake, and he resolutely said, "Leng Xue, come, I'll carry you on my back." ”

Leng Xue looked at Chu Tianshu with grateful eyes, and made up her mind to see death as home.

"No!" Leng Xue refused.

"You have to listen to me!" Chu Tianshu said undoubtedly.

At the moment of great disaster, Fang shows his true character as a hero!

Leng Xue couldn't hold back anymore and cried: "Chu Tianshu, you, you, why do you want to be so good to me?" ”

Chu Tianshu interrupted Leng Xue's words: "Don't fight, listen to me, Leng Xue, we must live together in life, and die together." ”

At this time, Chu Tianshu didn't know where the strength of the road came from, he carried Leng Xue on his back and rushed into the water without hesitation.
