Chapter 20: Dark River in Distress

I saw that the river below had come to an end, and the water had accumulated here, forming a pond, and the water above it was still flowing, and it seemed that there was an outlet to drain the water, or the water upstream would fill it up in a while.

It seems that I am going out, and I have to go upstream, tidy up my things, and walk along the river, and there is no sound of broken bones under my feet. From time to time, I saw the floating severed limbs in the water, and I was relieved to see that it was not fresh, and I was afraid that my explosives would blow up more than a dozen of them together.

After walking more than 100 meters, I heard a sound in the water, I came to the river with a torch, and saw a black shadow in the water, as if it was moving, I picked up a stone and threw it over according to the black shadow, only to hear the stone hit the black shadow, the black shadow "ah" sound, I listened to the sound a little familiar, and shouted: "Who is in the river?" The black shadow in the water said: "It's me, Wang Jinhuai, come and save me." ”

As soon as I heard Wang Jinhuai's voice, I hurriedly took off my clothes, put down my backpack, and inserted the torch into the gap in the stone wall. I swam into the river, not far away, and in a few clicks I arrived at Wang Jinhuai's side, and I watched Wang Jinhuai holding a piece of wood. I pulled him over, swam ashore, and came to the shore.

Seeing Wang Jinhuai dripping wet, he said, "Hurry up and take off all your clothes, master." Wang Jinhuai said while undressing: "I don't know, after you entered the house, a stone door bar we blocked in the secret passage, we didn't find the mechanism to open the door, so we were ready to go back, who knew that the back was also sealed by the stone door, at this time, the secret passage also began to seep water, and it spread to the waist after a while." At this moment, I heard a loud noise, the stone gate was blown over, I was in front, and I was also washed down by the current, and after coming down, there happened to be a piece of wood next to me, so I hugged it, I can't swim, I didn't see the master and them coming down when I fell, probably they were fine. ”

We found a clean place and sat down.

Looking at his embarrassed appearance, I felt very guilty, after all, it was Wang Jinhuai who accompanied me, let him endure so many dangers, a scholar, has not experienced any risks, it is difficult for him to survive here.

"Mr. Wang, after I went to chase that girl, how did you get here?" I asked.

"After you left, I entered the bell tower, just entered the door was knocked unconscious by a stick, and when I woke up, I was in the cage below, I heard them say, we are going to serve some father-in-law with blood, we are all arrested in the past few days, they are all arrested from other counties, probably they are afraid of arresting people here, alarming the place is not good."

"Mr. Wang, it's because of me that you have been so frightened and suffered so much, no matter what, I will take you out, and I will wait for you in the capital to go to Dabi."

"Don't say that, if I hadn't met you, how could I have so many experiences, I always felt that after reading a few books, I would be the biggest in the world, who knew that there were really many capable people in the world. It's also a long experience. No matter if you can get out or not, you just can't get out, and if you die here, my Wang Jinhuai has no regrets. ”

"Mr. Wang, don't be pessimistic, we will move forward when you rest, since I can come down, I can go up, you can rest first, and we will set off in a while."

"Okay, Dao Chief." It seemed that Wang Jinhuai was really tired, and leaned against the stone wall after speaking.

I extinguished the torch and leaned on Wang Jinhuai's side and rested for an hour. Ji Wang Jinhuai also recovered, I lit the torch again, called Wang Jinhuai, there are still two torches, if the torches are gone, we will not be able to find the way out.

Wang Jinhuai got dressed, followed me, walked to the front, and along the way, Wang Jinhuai also exclaimed all the way, because from time to time his feet would step on the bones of those dead people. I don't care about that, he's different. Along the way, I didn't find the master, and no one else, it seems that they didn't come down.

After a while, we walked to the place where we fell, because the hole was in the middle of the river, and it was more than ten zhang high from the river, and it was impossible for us to go up, and we couldn't see the hole on the bank, and we didn't know if there was anyone there.

I said, "We can't get out of here, and it looks like we're going up." Wang Jinhuai said: "I listen to you, Taoist, I will go wherever you go." "We went up the river again.

The river is getting narrower and narrower, and the water is getting faster and higher the upstream, and this side is already much higher than the bottom, and there are more and more dry bones on the side of the river. I walked in front, Wang Jinhuai followed me closely, one hand still pulling my clothes, saying that I was not afraid that it was fake, the courage of scholars is inherently small, and in this dimly lit place, it is even more afraid.

Suddenly, I felt a gust of wind blowing from ahead, and all this made me feel that something bad was about to happen, because here, except for darkness, there is danger, and no one knows what danger awaits us.

I looked ahead by the light of the torch, and saw a black shadow flying towards us quickly. I pushed Wang Jinhuai aside, I no longer have a weapon in my hand, it seems that I am going to be freehanded, there is a dead man's thigh bone under my feet, I picked it up, I just straightened up, the black shadow came to me, I handed the leg bone up, only to hear a sound, just on the jaw of the person who came.

Only then did I realize that it was the girl in the bell tower who led me to the cemetery, still wearing the red dress, and not holding anything in her hand, and seeing me stand up, the girl grabbed my neck with both hands, he and she were much worse than me, and when she raised her hand, her head was just out of space, and I didn't care about his hand, and I raised my leg bone and smashed her head. I only heard a 'poof' sound and the girl's skull was smashed by me, and the girl didn't die, but, with a whoosh, took a step back, and I saw him retreat and swept his leg bones sideways. Now the girl was in a hurry, and jumped up, and fell on my head, and I flashed to the side, and the girl didn't see that she had a good hand, and squatted down, grabbed my ankle, and opened her mouth and bit it, and I sent the leg bone down, just to fill his mouth, and I raised my foot without throwing it off, so I stabbed the torch in my hand into her face, and the torch stabbed her head, and the hair burned instantly, and the hand holding me was released, and I only rolled in the ground, and the clothes were also lit by falling sparks.

I saw a flame, burning in this dark underground, looking extraordinarily bright, with the black smoke coming out of the sparks, a pungent smell wafted over.
