Chapter 185, Water Purification Worm

Li Mu checked the equipment on hand and only grabbed a backpack, which contained two flashlights, a sleeping bag, five packs of compressed biscuits, three packs of solid fuel, plus a set of ropes, two sapper shovels, and more than a dozen plates of chocolate.

There are few things, so many people, this bit of equipment is not enough at all, the key is that there is no water, and there is no thing about the guy who holds water.

Sister-in-law Hong saw his embarrassment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Mu briefly introduced the situation, and Hongsao smiled: "Don't worry about this, I have a way to solve the water problem." ”

Brother Xiao Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at her curiously.

"How about you turn around, don't stare at me!" Sister-in-law Hong said a little shyly.

Li Muwen didn't move, and continued to look at her.

"Isn't it just a door lowering technique, I haven't seen it for a while, Sister Hong, you get yours, I'll take a look at the excitement!"

"You stare at me, I'm uncomfortable, you turn around first, and look again later!"

"That's not good, it's not interesting after the trick is over, you don't care about me, just treat me as air, I don't exist."

Sister-in-law Hong had no choice but to take him, so she shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, but I said it in advance, you have to see it yourself, and don't blame me if you die of thirst in the end!"

As he spoke, he pressed his abdomen with his hand, vomited a few times, and spit out two small worms, the size of grasshoppers and shaped like leeches, from his abdomen, wriggling and crawling towards the waterhole.

After the worms enter the water, their bodies swell up rapidly, and each worm rises to the size of a watermelon, round like a leather ball.

Hongsao walked over, scooped up two round balls from the water, and carried them to Li Mu.

"Uncle taste?"

Li Mu waved his hand again and again, resolutely saying that he was not thirsty.

"What about Xiaoyu, do you want to drink it?"

"Gross!"

Sister Hong said with a smile: "Don't drink and pull down, don't underestimate them, this is called a water purification bug, it can purify the water quality, no matter what kind of dirty water, they can be converted into clean water, you feel disgusting, in fact, the water in their stomachs is cleaner than any water." ”

As he spoke, he held up a round ball and drank it mouth-to-mouth.

Li Mu couldn't help but ask, "Sister Hong, is this a maggot or a roundworm?" ”

Sister-in-law Hong choked, a mouthful of water squirted far away, and then coughed violently.

Lin Wan on the side gently scolded him.

"Talking nonsense, this is a water purification bug, don't say it so disgusting."

"Do you have any in your stomach?" Li Mu asked uneasily.

"No, no, I only have your son in my belly, and there are no bugs!" Lin Wan replied dishonestly.

"It's good if you don't have it, don't put those messy things in your stomach, it's disgusting!"

"Well, I'll listen to you!"

Sister-in-law Hong's tone finally came to her senses, and she glared at Li Mu angrily.

"Hey, uncle, what to do next, get an idea!"

Li Mu called Shen Zixing over and asked her, "What about the entrance to your gold mine, wouldn't it be here, and there is no gold here?" ”

"Uncle, you can really do it, it's all this time, you still think about gold, you really want money and don't want to die!"

"Sister Hong misunderstood, I'm sure I won't touch a piece of gold, I just want to find out, is there any other exit!"

Of course, Brother Xiao Li will not have the idea of hitting gold anymore, taking gold is for smuggling, after this plan is not established, what does he want that thing for, he has a daughter-in-law of the gold owner, and he will not be short of money at all in the future, why should he offend the Shen family to death.

"Brother Mu, this is not the only entrance and exit from the gold mine, there is another entrance and exit to leave the gold mine, we can escape through that exit!" Shen Zixing explained to everyone.

Then there is nothing to say, entering the mine has become the only option, otherwise, you can only be trapped here alive.

"Purple Star, where is the entrance to the gold mine?" Li Mu asked.

"Below it!" Shen Zixing pointed to the waterhole and said.

Li Mu squatted down to inspect the waterhole, the light in the cave was very dim, and he couldn't see the bottom of the water from him, and he couldn't estimate its depth.

He can't swim, after falling into the water just now, he swam to the shore with the help of Zixing, and now when he heard that he was going into the water again, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart.

Lin Wan had been following him, and when she saw his embarrassed face, she immediately guessed what he was thinking, so she asked Shen Zixing, "Zixing, how deep is this pool?" ”

"Big sister, its shape is sloping downward, and its length can be about a hundred meters."

"A hundred meters?" Li Mu exclaimed in surprise, "I can't swim, I will hang up after sinking two meters, and I will drown a hundred meters!" ”

"It's okay, husband, I'll take you on a swim, you just hold me tight."

"Sister Wan, let's do it with me!" Lin Kun said on the side, "You are not in good health, I will take my brother-in-law to swim together!" ”

This is a good way, Lin Wan happily agreed.

After the divorce of Li Mu and his wife, Lin Kun called him brother-in-law for the first time, he respected the strong, and now Li Mu has been looked down upon by him, and he feels that the current little Brother Li can match Sister Wan.

He Xiaoyu said in surprise: "How can you say it so easily, the limit of human diving is less than two hundred meters, even if you are different from ordinary people, the length of this waterway can be one hundred meters, you are sure that you can swim through!" ”

Hongsao explained with a smile: "Silly girl, under normal circumstances, of course, we can't swim over, but if there is external help, this 100-meter waterway is really nothing." ”

"What external force?"

"It's the kind of maggot that your brother said, disgusting, something even more disgusting is coming soon, we want it to eat our heads."

He Xiaoyu said in horror: "Sister Hong, what are you talking about, cut off your head and feed the insects?" ”

"You, like your senior brother, like nonsense, cut off the head and the person dies, and you swim a fart, not to cut it off, but to let it be swallowed alive!"

"And then?"

"The water purification insect has two stomach pouches, one stomach pouch can purify water, and one stomach pouch can digest food, when it digests food, it needs a lot of oxygen, let it swallow your head first, and then go into the water, it will extract oxygen from the water and send it to the stomach pouch, and you can safely dive underwater."

Miss He was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Li Mu was also frightened, and said in horror: "My head has been digested, what else do you say about safety, do you want to go ashore with a skeleton, Sister Hong, are you joking!" ”

"I don't know don't talk nonsense, the digestion process of water purification insects is very slow, and the time to dive for a hundred meters is not more than three minutes, and in such a short time, your head will not be fine at all."

"And what if you get lost inside?"

"It's fine for no more than nine days, and if it's more than nine days, you can only go ashore with skeletons." After Sister-in-law Hong finished speaking, she couldn't help but giggle.

Shen Zixing interjected beside him: "Brother Mu, you won't get lost, there is a road under the waterhole, just keep swimming." ”

"Then there's nothing to be afraid of." Sister-in-law Hong said happily, "Uncle, you come first!" ”

"You first, ladies first!"

Hongsao's sister-in-law didn't care, she spit out three water purification worms from her stomach, and said to Lin Wan: "I only have three left, how many do you have there?" ”

"That's enough!" Lin Wan replied in a low voice, her eyes sneaking a glance at Li Mu.

The latter pointed his finger at the door of her head, and said helplessly: "I still like to lie, what are you doing with those things, it's not disgusting." ”

"It doesn't matter, they are all domesticated insects, which are of great benefit to the host, and when we walk in the rivers and lakes in the future, we need their help in many times of crisis, such as this waterway, if there is no help from insects, we can only be helpless."

"Eldest sister, I don't need the help of the insects, I can swim over with my breath closed!" Shen Zixing said with some smugness.

"I can too!" Shen Ming'er immediately echoed.

"Yes, you two sisters are quite powerful, then you can take the lead!" Lin Wan said with a smile.

"No problem, eldest sister, you follow us to swim, we are responsible for opening the way!" Shen Zixing agreed.

The young ladies don't need to use external forces, then there are only two water purification insects left, Lin Wan spit out two insects, and Li Mu and one each.

Li Mu held back the numbness feeling, pinched up a worm, and asked her, "How do you use this thing, just put it on your head and let it devour?" ”

"It's that simple!" As she spoke, Sister-in-law Hong took out a small leather bag from her arms and turned out a small iron box from it, which was not much bigger than the cool oil box.

After opening the lid of the box, there was a strange smell immediately, I can't say what it smelled like, anyway, it didn't smell good, and the insects all wriggled excitedly, as if they smelled something delicious.

Li Mu glanced at it curiously, the iron box contained something similar to yellow wax, and that strange smell was emitted by this kind of thing.

"What is this?"

"Don't ask, you'll be disgusting again when I'm done." Sister-in-law Hongxiao kindly reminded.

After finishing speaking, he dipped his finger in yellow wax, drew a circle on Li Mu's neck, and then clicked it on his face and head a few times.

Immediately afterwards, she gave Lin Wan and the others another operation, and finally said to Senior Brother Li Mu: "Before going into the water, put the insects on top of your head, and when you can breathe freely, you can dive!" ”

Everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave, and the young ladies jumped into the water first, and a pair of brothers and sisters watched the other three people, wanting to imitate them after visiting.

Lin Wan and the others put the insect on the top of their heads, and the insects immediately swelled, and then slowly wrapped their heads like melted jelly, but they didn't cross the loop around their necks.

Lin Wan beckoned to Li Mu and the others, signaling them not to be afraid, just follow along.

The senior brother and sister glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, and put the worm on top of their heads.

Hey, the head can really breathe after being wrapped, and the eyesight is somewhat affected, but the problem is not big, that is, the smell is very bad, and the smell is tangy, like the stinky teeth and flowers after a hangover, which makes people smell disgusting.

Li Mu hurriedly ran into the water, he planned to cross this waterway as soon as possible, and then immediately take off this stinky mask, and wear it for a while, he was afraid that he would vomit.

When the young ladies saw that the eldest brother had gone into the water, they immediately helped him to swim downward, the speed was extremely fast, don't look at the fact that people don't say anything, in fact, they don't need Lin Kun's help at all, they still habitually take care of the eldest brother by themselves.

Lin Wan stomped her foot and hurriedly chased after her, and the others also went into the water with her.
