Chapter 39: The Cave
Continue down, you will see the stalactites on the cave, the water droplets on the stone are crystal clear under the illumination of the headlamp, and the small drops of water collect on the ground and flow deep into the cave.
The further you go in, the wider the creek becomes. The feet were covered with a thick layer of mud, and they were very heavy.
I was at the front, followed by Xiaohua and Fan Ping.
I glanced back at the entrance to the cave and could no longer see it, only a few faint lights behind me.
As I turned back to observe the road ahead, a small river stopped in front of us, and it looked like I was not happy.
"I'm grass, and I still want to go into the water?" Fan Ping came over and scolded.
I ignored him and slowly touched one leg into the water, and the water didn't reach my knee, and it was cold.
There are caves on both sides of the place, and the water flows out from the left side and into the right side, and for a moment I couldn't tell where to go.
At some point, Xiaohua walked behind me, shone a lamp on the rock wall next to me, and said, "Brother Anzi, look! ”。
Then he pointed to me in a few places with a flashlight, all of which were tied with ropes, but the ropes were cut in half, except for the rope on the far right, which floated weakly on the surface of the river, reaching out to the dark places in the cave.
It seems that Uncle Biao Zi has explored every fork in the road at that time, and he should have entered here in the end.
Immediately, I glanced at Xiaohua and winked at him, meaning to move on.
Fan Ping scolded as he walked at the end: "If there is anything you can't say directly, what kind of eye transfer, it's so quiet, it's the same as a dead person." ”
After wading down the river, my feet became more slippery, and the water began to rise to my thighs.
I touched a stone from the bottom of the river and tried it, but the water in front of me was unfathomable, and I didn't dare to continue forward, and looked inside with a hand lamp, and it was dark and bottomless.
Xiaohua also saw the situation in front of me beside me, and then said embarrassedly: "What should I do now?" ”
I took a flashlight and shone the stalactites above my head and said, "All the way, I have been observing and judging that this cave should be a water cave!" ”
Caves are usually formed by geological formations or water dissolution.
The general direction of the water cave is relatively stable, and if you take a raft all the way down the underground river, there will be no major problems.
However, the hole in the geological structure is likely to have a very outrageous fault, and it may drift to a certain place, and suddenly it is an underground waterfall with a drop of 100 meters, and then there is no chance of survival at all.
I turned my head and asked, "Fan Ping, do you have any rubber boats with you?" ”
Fan Ping walked slowly, walking towards the two of us with a deep foot and a shallow foot in the back, and replied angrily: "You stupid fork, why don't you ask me if I have a submarine?" ”
Suddenly, Xiaohua began to rummage through the contents of her backpack, as if she was looking for something.
I asked a little happily, "My dear little flower sister, did you bring it?" ”
Xiaohua looked up at me and smiled mysteriously, took out a few soft plastic things from her backpack and shook them in front of our eyes, and said, "I brought a swimming ring!" ”
My smile froze instantly: "I'll go ......"
Fan Ping was also stunned: "I'll ...... it."
If it were in the south, it would definitely be a good place to escape the heat, but unfortunately it is not.
This will make the surface of the river feel a little biting just in the thighs, and if you swim into the river with your whole body, you will probably freeze to death.
However, in the face of the current situation, there is really no other way but to swim through.
I took out a bottle of liquor, drank nearly half of it with my head up, and then handed it to Fan Ping and Xiaohua, which can be regarded as a cold measure before entering the water.
Taking advantage of the excitement of the alcohol, we each blew our own swimming rings and put them under our armpits.
After three sounds, "plop, plop, plop", they jumped into the cold and biting river water in turn.
After entering the water, none of the three of us spoke, and we couldn't hear Fan Ping's scolding voice, and I think they should be as speechless as I was.
Because of the cold water, my teeth began to rattle involuntarily.
You must not stay in this river for too long, otherwise you will definitely freeze to death in it.
Thinking of this, I took the lead in swimming deep with the faint force of the current, and the sound of the two of them swimming followed behind me.
I don't know how long I swam but before I knew it, the force of the current began to become turbulent, and a short waterfall in the shape of turns and steps appeared.
At this point, my swimming posture had begun to gradually change to a struggle, and water began to choke in my mouth because of the turbulent current.
I turned my head to look at the two of them, and it wasn't much better than what I was.
Suddenly, by the headlight, I saw a rubber raft not far away stuck in a large rock pile in the middle of the river, as if it had been hung by something.
When I saw the dinghy, my eyes lit up, and I started shouting at the two of them as I struggled closer to the dinghy.
