Chapter 182: The Mysterious Cave

"Second master, Tianyan, you two go up first, and I'll go back to pick up the village chief and them." Liu Xiaojiao opened her mouth and said to us.

"Wait a minute, I'll go back with you to pick up the village chief, and the two of us can take care of each other, so it's safer."

I remembered that I met Xiaoling when I went into the water to save the child before, and there were countless water ghosts that appeared behind her, and I really didn't worry about Liu Xiaojiao going back alone.

Although this woman is difficult to get along with, she also relieved me this time, and Li Guodong also hopes that the two of us will cooperate more, but I don't want her to have an accident.

The second master simply handed me the peachwood sword he was carrying: "This sword can deal with ordinary evil things, but it is not enough to deal with Xiaoling, when you meet her, it is best to escape." ”

I didn't have hypocrisy, I took the peachwood sword from the second master, and chased Liu Xiaojiao away.

The rain was still pouring down, and at some point there was fog all around.

The darkness and fog made the visibility drop to about three or four meters at once.

Time is running out, the water level is rising, and we have to get the village chief and them back to the bottom of the cliff as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the longer the delay, the greater the risk.

It seems that the village chief's persuasion did not work very well, otherwise why didn't they follow for so long?

I really can't figure it out, most of the people have been transferred, why do those few people stay on the dirt slope alive, isn't this obviously waiting for death?

What a fool!

Liu Xiaojiao and I ran all the way to the dirt slope with flashlights.

This low mountain range connected to Erlong Mountain has been flooded more than halfway.

When we came to the dirt slope, we found that the house of the second master and the camel had almost collapsed in half, and the ground was full of cracks and devastation.

"Where are the village chiefs?"

Strangely, we searched around the two houses, but we didn't find any trace of the village chief, and we didn't know where they had gone.

It stands to reason that the slope was surrounded by floodwaters, and there was no other way out except for the ridge leading to the back mountain.

"Could it be that something happened to them......"

Unable to find anyone, Liu Xiaojiao and I both had a bad premonition in our hearts. 、

At this time, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the rain was still pouring.

The temperature around us seemed to drop by seven or eight degrees at once, and the cold wind blew it, and our teeth chattered from the cold.

Bang!

Crash!

The dirt slope is still collapsing, Yan Xiaoying's decision is correct, if we continue to stay on this dirt slope, there is only one way to die.

Collapsed houses, thick fog, pouring rain, the whole world is filled with a strange and deep atmosphere, which makes people's hearts feel cold. ”

Even Liu Xiaojiao, who was the deputy captain of the town, was so frightened that she didn't dare to go too far after me.

We searched inside and out, and shouted again, but we couldn't find the village chief and a few of them.

In this case, there is only one possibility, and that is that they are all killed.

After a delay of more than 20 minutes, I saw that there was no possibility of finding them, so I had no choice but to give up and said to Liu Xiaojiao: "Let's go, no matter how late we are, we will be trapped here." ”

"But the village chief, they ...... What about those children......" Liu Xiaojiao hesitated.

"What else can I do? It's all their own choice, and no one is to blame! I said in a deep voice.

"How can you be like this? That's a few lives, how can we leave them alone? Liu Xiaojiao said.

"So what do you think we can do now? We've found all the places we need to find, and we've done our best for them. Knowing that you can't do it, this is not persistence and persistence, but stupidity! ”

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do, you don't want to wait here to die!"

I let out a low curse at the stupid woman, then ignored it and left the dirt slope.

I thought that Liu Xiaojiao was timid and would definitely follow me when she saw me leaving, so I deliberately slowed down and waited for her.

Unexpectedly, after walking more than ten meters, she didn't follow, but went in the opposite direction to me, and continued to look for the village chief and a few of them.

"It's really ......"

I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet to hate it, how could there be a stupid woman with such a stubborn temper in the world.

In the end, I couldn't help it, I couldn't leave her here, I turned around and chased after her quickly, thinking that even if I carried her this time, I had to carry her away, my life was at stake, but it was not the time to be rash.

The rain was so heavy that she could no longer be found in the fog and rain, not even the beam of her flashlight.

I secretly said in my heart, is it not in danger?

Just as he was about to shout, he suddenly heard Liu Xiaojiao's exclamation not far ahead: "Tianyan come quickly, there is a child here......"

I ran over to look, only to see Liu Xiaojiao crouching outside the collapsed wall of the second master's house at this time, that place was a taro leaf field, because the angle and taro leaves blocked, I didn't find the beam of her flashlight just now.

At this time, Liu Xiaojiao dragged a person out of the taro leaf, a child!

Seeing this, I hurriedly walked over to help, and under the light of the flashlight, the child's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he didn't make a sound, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Liu Xiaojiao leaned down to probe his pulse and heartbeat, and only after half a ring did she breathe a sigh of relief and said, "There is no danger to my life for the time being, but I am in a coma." ”

"Why is he unconscious here, there is a collapsed cliff next to the taro field, can he say...... Did everyone else really get killed? ”

"Anyway, we didn't come back in vain, so we were looking for a living person."

I looked closely at the child's body and found no obvious injuries, and I don't know why he passed out.

Time is of the essence, we really can't stay here any longer, we have to leave immediately.

As for the village chief, we have searched all around, and if we could find them, we should have found them a long time ago.

Although Liu Xiaojiao has a stubborn temper, she also recognizes this, so under my persuasion again, she didn't insist anymore, after all, there is a child besides us now.

We can risk our own lives, but we can't put our children at risk.

So with confusion, grief, and anxiety, we left the dirt slope with the unconscious child on our backs and hurried towards the cliff behind the mountain.

The rain was still falling.

Smoke shrouded.

The sound of the water was heard all around.

As expected, the black flood has flooded the mountains and continues to rise.

We came to the shore and looked at the cliff on the opposite bank with our flashlights, and found that it was pitch black and misty ahead, and we could not see anything but the nearby flood, and we did not know how far away it was.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xiaojiao began to get nervous, her face was full of anxiety and panic, and she looked at me helplessly and said, "Tianyan, what to do now, we can't get by." ”

I smiled bitterly in my heart and said secretly: "I told you to withdraw a long time ago, now it's okay......"

This kind of complaining thought only flashed in my mind, because I knew very well that complaining and blaming was useless and would only make things worse.

If it were only me and Liu Xiaojiao now, with our water nature, we might be able to swim to the bottom of the cliff.

But now that there is an extra child, it is very risky to do so, because the black torrent in front of you is not calm, and among the rough waves, there is an undercurrent vortex hidden, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life.

What's more, there may be something terrible hidden beneath this black torrent.

Seeing that the water level was rising little by little, we didn't have anything to do, and the two of them were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, forced to retreat step by step by the torrent.

In the process of retreating, I accidentally stepped on a log and fell to the ground.

When I got up and looked at it, I noticed that it was a banana tree, and I immediately had an idea.

I remember when I was a child, when I secretly went to swim in the river with my friends, because I was not familiar with the water, I cut down the banana trees on the bank with my friends, connected them with wooden sticks, and made a banana raft to play in the water.

The trunk of the plantain tree, which is like foam inside, is no less buoyant than bamboo.

I looked around with a flashlight, and was pleasantly surprised to find a few banana trees growing not far away.

Plantain trees are not hard and can be easily cut with a sharp dagger.

The plantain trees were cut down and the wooden strips were cut together to make a simple plantain raft.

After such a delay, the water level rose a lot, but looking at the banana raft he made, I couldn't help but feel a little proud.

As the saying goes, there are more ways than difficulties. Sometimes if you don't push yourself, you don't know how good you are.

At that moment, Liu Xiaojiao and I worked together to push the banana raft into the water, put the child on it first, and when the two of them stepped on it, the banana raft only sank a little bit and was not submerged by the black water.

I secretly said in my heart that I usually pay attention to the maintenance of my body, and my weight has not soared, if the old fat is here, it is estimated that the banana raft will have to sink.

Liu Xiaojiao protected the child on the banana raft, and after stabilizing my body, I took a penny and propped up from the shore and headed towards the cliff on the opposite bank.

However, my idea was good, but in reality, it was not as good as I expected.

When I held a distance from the shore, I found that the plantain raft was not under my control at all, and the undercurrent was turbulent, and I could not stabilize the entire plantain raft by myself.

Not to mention controlling it towards the cliffs on the other side, it's simply impossible.

A drop of water can pierce a stone, and although water is a soft word, it says that the power contained in it cannot be underestimated.

It is like a gentle wind when it is calm, but it is like a wild beast when it is furious, and it is very dangerous.

The location of the cliff is exactly where the undercurrent gushes out, and we can't get close to it with the plantain raft, the water is too fast.

At this moment, we are like a lonely boat in the stormy waves, helpless, and have to let the current wash us away.

In the end, I couldn't control the raft anymore, and I couldn't even hold myself steady on the raft.

Fortunately, the bamboo raft is quite sturdy, and it has not fallen apart for the time being, but it is estimated that it will not last long, after all, it is a temporary thing.

There was darkness all around, and the black water below was turbulent, which was terrifying.

Liu Xiaojiao was so frightened that she hugged the child tightly and said in a lost voice: "Tianyan, what should we do now?" ”

"What can I do? I can only resign myself to fate. ”

I smiled wryly and steadied myself on the raft, which swirled from time to time, and the waves rolled and washed, and we were too busy to protect ourselves at the moment.

However, at this time, the plantain raft we were on suddenly moved rapidly in a certain direction, and the feeling was like the plantain raft suddenly having an extra pusher and pusher, and the speed increased dramatically.

It is impossible for a plantain raft to have a pusher or feeder, and there is something in the water that pushes the raft.

Could it be Xiaoling or those water ghosts?

I couldn't think about it much at the moment, because the raft was moving at high speed, and we were in danger.

I myself can say that Liu Xiaojiao has to take care of the little girl who was rescued, and her condition is critical.

This situation did not last long, and the raft suddenly stopped, like a car moving at high speed, and suddenly came to a sudden brake.

In an instant, Liu Xiaojiao and I on the banana raft and the little girl were thrown out due to inertia.

In the darkness, we felt like we were flying through the clouds, and we didn't know where we were, and then we fell into the icy water.

As soon as I was soaked in the icy water, I instantly came to my senses and hurriedly paddled to the surface, and found that the water was surprisingly calm.

I have to say that the quality of military things is good, at this time the flashlight in my hand has not been extinguished, and I can't help but be a little surprised when I shine the flashlight around.

For I found myself in a rocky passage that was half submerged by the current, and was generally exposed to the water.

This reminds me of the mysterious water hole in the Paradise Reservoir, but the passage in front of me is much wider than the one in the Paradise Reservoir......
