Chapter 183: Desperate Situation
When: Autumn is coming.
Location: Longyi Village.
Weather: Cold, humid.
I always thought that as long as the dam of the forest farm reservoir was protected, there would be no such disaster as flooding at the bottom of the mountain.
Even if heavy rains fall, as long as the levees do not break, the floods will not endanger the lives of the villagers.
But now, I realize that I was wrong.
If it weren't for the second master's high morality, and the fact that I saw Xiao Ling who died and came back to life in the water with my own eyes become a water fish, I really can't believe that this flood that flooded the village was actually done by Xiao Ling, who turned into a water fish.
The boundless black flood actually gushed out from under the ground, and Xiao Ling turned into a water fish, and was able to control the rain.
This kind of thing is no longer something that can be fought against by manpower, the second master is a mage, and it is common for him to kill demons and demons, but even he is not sure to deal with Xiao Ling, who has become a water fish.
Not to mention that I, a half-mountain chaser, may be able to deal with the evil of ordinary corpses, but the other party is a water shark.
Lu is an evil corpse among evil corpses, and the second master said that it is more difficult to deal with than Mao Zhuang and the monsters in the mountains.
Shui Lu is not a traditional zombie, because everything about her does not make sense.
I never thought I'd encounter such a thing before, and in a way, it was even more ridiculous than the towering giant tree I saw in the secret realm of heaven.
If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have believed that there was such a strange thing in this world.
This may seem like a ridiculous story to others, but when you experience it yourself, then you feel very scary.
The villagers of Longyi Village have been moved up the back mountain, and only the villagers and a few villagers who did not listen to the dissuasion remained on the dirt slope and finally disappeared.
Liu Xiaojiao and I went back to look for it, but we only found a little girl who was unconscious, and the others were nowhere to be found.
When we hurried back and wanted to climb the cliff to meet Yan Xiaoying, we found that the flood had already submerged the mountain.
Liu Xiaojiao and I made a simple banana raft out of banana trees, and we wanted to cross the water to the bottom of the cliff.
But unexpectedly, after we propped the plantain raft into the water, we found that the flood water was so fierce that we could not control the direction of the raft at all.
It was still the middle of the night, and there was a vast white fog around us, and we were on the raft, and we couldn't tell the difference between the east and the west.
What's even more strange is that the plantain raft seems to be dragged in a certain direction by something, and we can't help but hold on to the raft firmly, and we don't even have the strength to resist.
Finally, the raft at high speed suddenly stopped, and we were thrown out of the raft and into the water.
When we emerged from the icy flood, we found ourselves in a rocky water hole, beyond which was a black ocean, and the plantain raft that had carried us had drifted away and finally disappeared into the darkness.
"Tianyan, the child seems to be awake." Liu Xiaojiao floated out of the water with the girl in her arms and shouted with joy.
I nodded, and I couldn't be happy at all, because what had just happened was so weird.
Something dragged us here on a plantain raft, what was its purpose? What secrets are hidden inside this rock water cave?
The water was very cold, and the little girl probably woke up after being soaked in cold water, so maybe she should have known what had happened on the dirt slope after we left, and where the village chief had gone.
Patrolling the water hole with a flashlight, I found that there were many vines hidden outside the water hole, and if you didn't look carefully outside, you really couldn't find it.
Liu Xiaojiao and I are not from this village, so we don't know how this cave was formed.
But once you have come, you will be safe, and there is a flood outside, only here is relatively calm, as if two worlds are separated.
The cave is very deep, and according to the water level, it should have been in the middle of the cliff before the village was submerged. At this height, coupled with the vines covering the entrance to the cave, it is estimated that even the villagers of this village will rarely know about this place.
I shook my head, and Liu Xiaojiao held the little girl to tread water and surfaced, which was very physically exertional.
I wasn't in good shape, and when I looked around, I saw that the cave was sloping upwards, and the deeper it was, the higher it became, and it wasn't completely flooded.
I stretched out my hand and pointed into the deep hole, and Liu Xiaojiao immediately understood what I meant, and nodded in agreement.
At that moment, the two of them carried the little girl and swam inside, but fortunately, no strange things happened in the process. The thing that dragged the raft before got us here and left as if it were gone.
Of course, we're not so sure, maybe those things are hiding under the water and watching us right now.
That's why we went ashore right away, because it's too dangerous in the water.
After swimming more than ten meters into the cave, we finally landed on the ground.
It was only at this point that we breathed a long sigh of relief.
The air inside the cave is humid and very cold, but it is undoubtedly a good place to escape from the rain outside.
Although it is not yet autumn, rain is commonplace for rural people, but if it rains all the time, even if the body can withstand it, the mood is definitely not good.
It has been said that mental pain is much worse than physical suffering.
This kind of thing can only be understood by those who have experienced it firsthand......
Liu Xiaojiao put the little girl on the ground, twisted her sleeves to dry the water, wiped the water droplets from the latter's face, and asked softly, "Little sister, how are you feeling now?" Do you feel unwell in your body? ”
Strange to say, the little girl has been very quiet since she woke up.
If it weren't for the fact that she was looking at us with her eyes open at the moment, we would even suspect that she was still unconscious.
Regarding Liu Xiaojiao's concerned inquiry, the little girl was still silent.
Her eyes were red, she was curled up on the ground, her body trembling.
"It seems that I was stimulated too much, and I was mentally traumatized...... I said.
It's no wonder that the little girl is only eight or nine years old, and when she encounters this kind of thing, not to mention her, even the old man who is well versed in the world is estimated to be deeply shocked, right?
I remember that this little girl was with her mother when she left, and now her mother is missing, and I don't know what happened?
I wanted to ask the girl what had happened to the old village chief, but seeing her so pitiful, I couldn't bear to speak, for fear of striking her fragile little heart again.
"Poor ......"
Seeing the little girl like this, Liu Xiaojiao's eyes turned red, and she hugged the girl into her arms and hugged her tightly, tears piercing her face drop by drop.
It is said that women are naturally sensual animals, and they are much more delicate and careful than men's hindsight.
Because of this delicacy and carefulness, they often think of many more things than men, and those who don't understand say it's trouble, but those who understand are left with heartache.
Looking at the little girl, I couldn't help but think of Xiaoya, who lived in my own house at the moment, and the blow she suffered at that time was the same as the little girl in front of me.
I sighed, but I couldn't really ask the little girl.
Seeing that Liu Xiaojiao was comforting the girl, I had to stand aside and guard to prevent accidents.
In fact, the cave was very quiet, except for the sobs of Liu Xiaojiao and her two daughters, there was only the sound of water.
After more than ten minutes, Liu Xiaojiao's mood finally stabilized, while the little girl remained silent, no matter how the former appeased, in the end only told us her name.
The girl's name is Huang Jingyue, Jingmei's Jing, the moon's moon, a very nice and meaningful name.
"Tianyan, we ......"
"Those things must have brought us to this place for a purpose. Whatever the purpose, the only way out for us now is to go inside the cave, because the water level is still rising, and it may soon flood the cave. ”
I knew what Liu Xiaojiao wanted to say, so I didn't wait for her to finish, so I said so.
The water level is indeed rising, and the ground we stepped on just now has not yet been soaked in water, and now the water is up to the ankles.
The cave is pitch black and deep, I don't know how this place came to be?
I just wish it was a cave passage that would lead to the rest of the world like the one in the bamboo forest that led to the secret realm of heaven.
Otherwise, if there is a dead end inside, when the water level continues to rise, we choose to go inside, and undoubtedly play a lantern in the toilet - looking for (looking for death)
Of course, we now have a choice, which is to swim out of the cave while the flood water does not inundate the hole.
However, when the flood is raging outside, we will be swept away by the torrent immediately if we swim out, and even if we are blessed with great fortune, what about the contents of the water? Will they get us out of here?
The answer is no, since they brought us here, they could never let us go so easily.
So now we are being put on the neck with a knife and have to go deeper into the cave.
I don't know how Yan Xiaoying, the second master and the other villagers are doing now? Imagine that after they climbed the cliff, they all managed to escape, right?
Although the water is fierce, it is impossible for the flood to flood a mountain, right? If this is the case, then is there anyone else in the world who will cure her?
In fact, I don't understand a little bit, Xiao Ling is so powerful after she becomes a water fish, with her means, it is easy to take revenge on the village and kill everyone, why do you have to go to such great lengths?
Maybe...... She is not as vicious and inhumane as the second master said......
I remembered how I saved the child when I was in the water, and she helped me. Her expression at that time, with resentment in pain, and viciousness in resentment, was just ...... But it can't be hated.
At the end of the day, she's just a pathetic person......
She probably just wanted to find the real murderer, and didn't want to deal with the people in the village. It's just that...... After she swallowed the yellow spring water and turned into a water cloud, she couldn't help herself.
Although the flashlight was not damaged by the water, the beam emitted was not as bright as before, and it should have lost too much power to support it for long.
Liu Xiaojiao's flashlight fell into the water when she was on the plantain raft before, and we had to hurry.
In such a gloomy cave, if there is no light source, there is no difference between a blind man.
"Let's go, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, now we can only take one step at a time." I smiled wryly at the two girls.
Liu Xiaojiao nodded, took off the gun from her waist and handed it to me: "You hold this gun, and the two of us rely on you to protect it." ”
I was stunned, didn't reach out to pick it up, and said with a wry smile: "Miss, don't say that, I will feel a lot of pressure." Besides, I'm a common man, where can I use a gun? It's better to keep it for yourself. ”
I didn't expect Liu Xiaojiao to give me a gun, which surprised me a little, you must know that for a police officer, a gun is his other life.
Although I didn't take the gun, her behavior made a small difference in my impression of her.
Liu Xiaojiao listened to my words, didn't say anything more, put away the gun, then picked up the little girl on her back, and walked into the depths of the cave first.
I followed her with a flashlight, looking around warily.
During this time, the little girl on her back turned her head to look at me, and she looked at me a little strangely, but what was strange, I couldn't say for a while......
