Volume 1 Dark Surge Chapter 2 The Dark Creek River in Change
didn't answer him, obviously heard someone talking, turned around again, carefully scanned the surrounding mountains and forests, still didn't find any figures, I don't know if I heard it wrong, or the sound of someone moving in the forest, and didn't want to delay any longer to respond to him and said, "It's coming, it's not in the way for two minutes to slow." ”
The topography of the Dark Creek River is much lower than that of the water, this section of the river is a little curved, the mountain wall and the river channel show a U-shape, there is no strong wind blowing in, the climate is much warmer than the upstream, and the air humidity is much higher than the humidity above, such humidity and temperature have reached the activity standards of many cold-blooded animals.
I heard my grandfather say that the environment below is very special, and I didn't find anything special when Zhou Yifeng and I came here in my dreams, but now this temperature gap makes me a little uneasy to move on.
I stopped and said to him, "We can't go any further, the bushes here are much denser than the ones above, and now they are more than our height, so it's too dangerous to walk blindly." "I looked around uneasily, the bushes here are too dense, and the further down we go, the denser they become, and if a snake or something preys on the bushes and we are disturbed, then we are destined to be bitten.
Zhou Yifeng frowned and responded to me when he saw that I wasn't leaving: "Why don't you take it away, can't I go ahead and open the road, what's there to be afraid of, it's just a little more branch here, now I'm very excited, it's impossible for you to turn around and go back, even if I'm alone, I have to go down, even if I don't know the way." ”
I was a little stunned to see him insisting on now, there was a big gap between him in my dream, in my dream he had never done something so insistently, and the current appearance really made me feel strange, I explained: "It's not what you think, I mean that we don't want to walk the bush anymore, not only can't see the road clearly, in case there is a snake lying on this tree, I don't know how it was bitten, poisonous or not poisonous are bitten, so we can't row." ”
Looking at what I said seriously, his eyes rolled in his sockets and said: "We are still friends when talking about people, so many beeps are all nonsense, just say how we can't go and it's over!" ”
I didn't mind his tone, and raised my chin to the river next to me and motioned to walk into the water: "You see that the water is so clear, and it is not very deep, the waters of eighty or ninety are all foreshores, and the safety factor of our waterway is much higher than that of the bushes." ”
He doesn't know how to swim, he can be regarded as a landlubber, and if a person is afraid of seeing water, "take the waterway, take the waterway, I'm afraid that he will hang, who hasn't been crazy, come and take a picture of me, record my handsome face and handsome posture." He handed me the latest VIVOx3 that his dad bought for him, then took out the military dagger he bought on Taobao and walked into the river, took his phone, took a few pictures of him, I really dreamed of having a mobile phone.
After taking the photo, he looked at the slowly flowing stream and stepped on it, and exclaimed, "How cool am I, the temperature of the water and the temperature above are too mismatched." Saying that, he raised one foot and pulled up the leg of his trousers, and after a while, he was already freezing red, and when he saw that I didn't move, he scolded: "My meat is not meat, it's not, come down and walk together, you have to pestle there for a few more minutes, I'm afraid you plan to come down and get the body for me to contact the crematorium!" ”
I felt a little embarrassed, I remember that his personality was not so direct, and he was very subtle in asking for anything, but now I still like the one in my memory, I gritted my teeth and walked into the water, and I took a few breaths of cool air at that time, the water was really cold.
"Let's go, find a spacious place and we can have a good rest, we can't stay in this water for a long time, it's not good to leave the sequelae that trouble, and it will be you who will suffer in the future." I took the lead to go, in this more than ten meters wide river, the water temperature is so low, it is difficult to have snakes, so I can go forward boldly with confidence.
"My grandfather said that the conditions down here are very difficult, once he came down when he was still in his twenties, and at the same time came down a hundred people, who were from more than 20 production teams in three nearby villages, and ran down to repair some embankment, and it took more than three years to repair it, and more than 50 people died." I said to Zhou Yifeng.
"What? 100 people came to repair the embankment and 50 people died, is it true, they were already very happy to be able to eat in that era, and dozens of people from the production team formed a team to repair the embankment in this place, is it possible, it is too unrealistic. He didn't believe what I was saying and responded to me in a very skeptical tone.
The point is that I myself know that there is no need to build a dam here, and there is no convincing logic in this purposeless construction, but that's what I said, and my grandfather didn't say anything.
"When you say that, I remember, I went to my grandfather's house a few days ago, and he said that he was taken by a person surnamed He to repair Xiaojia Cave, and until now he can't forget the life inside." Looking at his expression, I knew he was suspicious that my grandfather had called him.
I'm not sure if the person who asked his grandfather to repair Xiaojiadong is my grandfather, even if it is my grandfather, with his character, he will never do things with unfamiliar people, or this kind of thing that doesn't make much sense, but if there is no great temptation, who will do this kind of thing? "Your grandfather told you that there was a person surnamed He who took him to Xiuxiaojia Cave, didn't he tell you his name?" Seeing him shake his head, I continued, "There must be some secret here, and no one wants to do these meaningless things. ”
Thinking back to the piece of ancient jade in my memory, I seemed to have grasped something, and said secretly in my heart: "Could it be that grandpa did these strange things to make a fortune back then?" But it is impossible for hundreds of people to listen to my grandfather's command alone, what kind of secret is there, or what is there that has such a great magic power to make so many people crazy about him. ”
"Or if I told him your name in front of him, he said this to me, I don't know why, but it was your name that brought back his memories!"
"My grandfather told me that the 100 people who came here to build the dam were gathered by a rich man, and more than half of the people who died estimated that he also lost a lot of money, but even then the man still gave enough hush money to the family of the deceased, although I don't know how much money was given, and no one mentioned it after that time, and as for the rich man, he never appeared again." I told me everything I knew.
A foul smell hit him, and he and I retched, and when we saw his eyebrows crumpled, he said, "What smells so weird." "There is a hint of sweetness in this smell, but it is fragrant, you say it stinks, it stinks, you say it is fragrant, it stinks, it stinks, the main thing is that the sweetness is mixed and unbearable.
Both of us covered our mouths and noses, I don't know what smells, in case it is poisonous, we will lose a lot of money, now we have walked most of the dark stream river, and then down is the Sancha River, faintly hearing the buzzing sound.
After another ten minutes, the strange stench became stronger and stronger, the smell was really unbearable, and it didn't go far to continue to walk forward, and the picture that made me even more disgusting appeared in front of me, the head of a black goat was soaked in the stream, and the whole head had begun to peel off its skin, and the rest of the limbs on the shore were crawling with maggots and mosquitoes, not only that, but there were centipedes swimming around, and some dark red crabs were also decomposing the corpses.
The two didn't dare to look more, and accelerated their progress, and the corner in front of them was the Sancha River, as long as they crossed the Sancha River, the Dark Creek River would be considered safe.
I don't know if it was the water or the rancid goat, but in five minutes we crossed the distance that would have taken more than ten minutes to complete, and set foot on the shore again.
My feet are now frozen by the water and I don't feel much, when we saw the Sancha River in front of us, I was completely stunned, now the water is not very deep, almost at the position of the chest, but the bottom of the river has been washed out of many grooves, terrifying, if you fall into which grooves, even if it grows to three meters, you will be drowned.
"In June, the dark stream is no return, and the Sancha River becomes a ghost! No wonder my grandfather said that. Although this time is different from what I remember, what I met and saw along the way was basically the right thing my grandfather said, Zhou Yifeng saw me talking freely, and asked me with a god: "What are you talking about alone?" ”
