was chatting, and a delicate voice came from behind him: "We're okay!" ”

When I turned around, I saw Wu Yuhui and Xiao He standing by the river and smiling at us, their hair was wet, and they looked like they had a different flavor, and I was stunned unconsciously.

A few of us also squatted down to the river and washed our faces.

Thinking of the old man saying that the stream water here is better than bottled mineral water, I couldn't help but take two sips, really! It's cold and sweet.

"When I see this river, I'm down-to-earth!"

Hao Minyuan shook off the water in his hand, looked at the long river in front of him and said softly.

"Brother Minyuan, what do you mean?"

Hao Minyuan smiled slightly: "There is indeed a river on the west side of the peak, which means that we are going in the right direction." ”

Wiping his hands, Hao Minyuan took out the map again and pointed to the dotted line next to the small triangle on the map: "As long as we follow the river, we can theoretically find the stockade!" ”

Just as he was about to set off, about to lead the donkey, and bypassed a few big trees, Wu Yuhui, who was walking in the front, exclaimed: "Not good! That kid is running! ”

Five donkeys were grazing with their heads bowed, and there was only a broken rope on the side, but the old man's stupid son was gone.

"Is this kid stupid pretending?"

Xiao He pinched his waist and stared at him.

Hao Minyuan didn't laugh angrily: "That's fine, it's our business left." ”

A few people walked up the river for another two hours before they came to another mountain.

The mountain was taller than the previous one, and at the bottom of it was a soccer field-sized waterhole, flanked by winding cliffs that a donkey could not cross.

"No way!"

"Captain Hao, are we going the wrong way?"

Seeing that the road in front of them was blocked by the mountain peak, Wu Yuhui and Xiao He were a little anxious, knowing that they had been walking for seven or eight hours since they entered the mountain forest, and it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Hao Minyuan took out the map and looked at it carefully: "Judging from the direction, that's right!" After speaking, he handed me the map, and I recalled the common sense of map recognition taught by the high school geography teacher, and I could also see that the place where Lao Sinan and they arrived was behind the mountain in front of them.

If the map is correct, the question is how to get over the mountain?

A few people were at a loss, squatting in the waterhole to figure out a way.

"Do you say it's groundwater?"

Maybe Wu Yuhui wanted to break the silence and found a topic casually.

Xiao He on the side replied: "It should be!" Didn't you see it flowing out of the mountains! ”

At this time, I noticed that there was also a cave on this peak, and the river flowed from the cave, so I guess it was because of the long years! Punch out a waterhole under the peak.

I'm wondering if I can exploit the water of this river, maybe it will be a good opportunity to make a fortune......

Suddenly, Wu Yuhui beside him asked suspiciously: "Are there trees growing under the ground in the mountains?" ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help laughing, and said, "You said there are trees growing on the clouds?" ”

Wu Yuhui gave me a blank look: "Nonsense! How can trees grow on the clouds? ”

"Then how can trees grow in the ground?"

Wu Yuhui shook his head: "That's not right! You see a few leaves floating out of the river from time to time, and it's still green. ”

Following her fingers, she saw a few broken leaves floating on the surface of the river.

"Huh?" Hao Minyuan's eyes were quick, and he leaned out and fished out a piece.

"Really! It's really leaves, and it's still green. ”

Several people looked at the cave where the water flowed out.

"Teacher Feng, what's going on?"

Hao Minyuan was also confused.

Teacher Feng took the leaves, pinched them in his hand a few times, and shook his head slightly: "I'm really lonely, as far as I know, some fungi and plants do live underground, and some even grow three or four meters deep underground, but ...... But it shouldn't be a green leaf! ”

I understand Mr. Feng's words, this is common sense! There are many plants in the world, only the plants that "see the light" are green, because the leaves of such plants contain chloroplasts, which can carry out photosynthesis, and some of the leaves that are only exposed to light light are mostly brown, such as kelp and most algae plants.

There are also some that do not see light all year round, and they show other colors.

Teacher Feng pondered for a moment: "Could it be that this water does not flow from the ground, but ...... but from the other side of the mountain, or...... Or that the middle of this mountain is empty. ”

Hao Minyuan seemed to think of something, and suddenly reached out and took out the map: "I...... I see it! ”

I also hurriedly leaned over: "Brother Minyuan, what do you understand?" ”

"Look at this map! They should have been swimming upriver back then, but why was there no way here? Maybe...... Maybe it's not that there is no road, but we haven't found it, since the cave can flow green leaves, does it mean ......"

It was like a flash of lightning in my brain: "I understand! This river leads to the other side of the mountain, and this hole is the road! ”

Several other people also suddenly showed a look of sudden realization on their faces. Eighth Library

"It's a real possibility! It was unfortunate that we had come here, there had been a heavy rain before, so the water level had risen a lot, and if we had come in the dry season, the road in the cave would have been more obvious. ”

"Alright! Is it the road or not, let's go in and take a look? ”

Hao Minyuan clapped his hands, and the person had already strode out.

As soon as I wanted to follow, I thought of a few donkeys: "What about these donkeys?" ”

Hao Minyuan turned to me and smiled slightly: "Stupid! If the road is inside, the donkey won't be needed! Just let it go! This kind of beast knows the way, and will go back the way it came. ”

Also! I smiled wryly and followed.

This hole is much smaller than the previous hole, only the open space of less than half a meter by the water can be inserted, it is difficult to turn around, I am really afraid that Hao Minyuan will misjudge, and several people will be trapped inside.

It must have been the terrible experience in another cave that stimulated everyone! From the moment they approached the cave, everyone's faces were tense, and Hao Minyuan even took out a dagger.

Carefully walking along the river for about a hundred meters, the cave was in an uproar.

Xiao He behind me also quipped: "We won't find the legendary paradise, right?" ”

Come to think of it, it's really a bit like it, but there is no peach blossom forest outside the cave.

Probably before Tao Yuanming wrote the Peach Blossom Spring, he should have had such an experience as us!

My feet are spacious, and I don't feel so tired when I walk.

After walking for about 300 meters, I thought I was about to see the light, but with my extraordinary eyesight, I saw that the end of the river was a blue-brown rock wall, and there was no road on either side - the cave was over!

What is the situation!

None of the things we just analyzed were correct?

But where do the green leaves come from?

After walking for a few dozen meters, several of them also saw the rock wall at the end, and they were all at a loss.

"Why is there no exit?"

"Water...... Does the water really come out of the ground? ”

At the end of the cave was a pool of water, and the water seemed to be boiling, and it was constantly coming out of the bottom of the pool.

"It won't be the same as in a martial arts movie, there's a secret door here!"

Wu Yuhui muttered.

If it were any other time, this would have caused everyone to laugh, but no one thought it was funny at this time, because no one else had a more reasonable explanation, where did the green leaves in the water come from?

Wu Jinghan and Xiao He really got to the stone wall and touched around for a while--they were really forced to have no other way.

About one-fifth of the waterhole is just a rock wall, and I walked around the edge of the pool from one end to the other, looking at almost every rock wall, let alone the way out, not even the hole the size of a basketball.

Just when I thought that there would be no road here, I accidentally glanced at the corner of the waterhole and found that the corner of the waterhole was about three square meters of water, which was different from the color of other water surfaces.

In other places, the water surface is dark brown, only these few square meters of water are dark yellow, and if you look closely, it seems that there is a faint light underwater.

I subconsciously looked up at the top of my head, the roof of the cave was pitch black, and the light outside would never shine in, so how did the light in these few square meters of water come from?

Make sure that the light is not coming in from outside the water, it is coming from the water......

That's weird.

Illusion?

After a few more careful glances, he made sure that there was indeed a faint yellow halo shining in the water, as if there was an open trumpeter lamp under the water.

It's a wilderness, I don't dare to say that 100% no one comes, at least it's inaccessible, how can there be a flashlight under the waterhole in the depths of the cave! What's more, it's still open.

Other than that, could it be some kind of glowing fish? Or a giant jellyfish?

Jellyfish can emit light, but they all live in the ocean, and I have never heard of freshwater, there are jellyfish-like animals!

Don't......

I felt my scalp tingle, and secretly scolded myself for being stupid! How can we ignore the most appropriate possibility - this is the light of nature! Perhaps behind this body of water is outside the cave, and the sunlight shines on the water outside the cave and penetrates in.

When I thought about it, I suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

Quickly called a few other people over, pointed to the water, and made it simple.

Their eyesight is not as good as mine, and they can only faintly see the different colors of these few square meters of water and the surrounding area.

"If our analysis is correct! Because the previous heavy rain had covered the road in the cave, then this place was probably the exit, that is, we could dive over it and reach the other side of the mountain. ”

Hao Minyuan nodded: "What my brother said makes sense!" It looks like someone designed it all - but ...... But we didn't bring diving equipment, so how can we get there? ”

Finally, when it was my turn to be a teacher, I was overjoyed and hurriedly explained: "Under normal circumstances, the light can penetrate ten meters of water directly, and ten meters down, the light will be very dark, and considering that this is a mountainous area, considering the big trees and green plants at the water's edge, I estimate that the water surface from the cave to the water outside the cave will not exceed six meters." ”

"Six meters?"

Several people glanced at each other, still embarrassed.
