After a while, all that remained inside the tent was the snoring of cannons. And I sat alone by the fire, bored with the firewood with a burning stick, trying to make the fire burn stronger. When I want to doze off, I occasionally use my flashlight to look into the distance to see if there is any danger, and to distract myself from it.

But even so, the fatigue caused by staying up late has not been alleviated much. After a while, I began to nap like a cannon.

Didi-da-da, di-di-da-da,.......

In my sleep, I heard the sound of water droplets falling, the sound was far and near, just like the sound of radio waves in spy war dramas, I thought it was raining. When I opened my eyes, it was still pitch black, and not a drop of rain had fallen on my face. So where does this ticking sound come from?

Suddenly, I turned my head to find Li Tong's girl sitting on my left. "You don't know, it's going to scare people to death." I complained. Li Tong made a boo, motioned for me not to make a sound, and whispered, "Did you find that there is no sound of dripping and dada here?" ”

"I heard it too, I thought it was raining." I replied in a whisper.

Li Tong put his hand close to my ear and said, "It's not that simple, there must be something around here." ”

"Is that the thing?" When I think of this, I am scared for a while. Li Tong continued to whisper: "I can't judge it yet, but the voice came from over there, this is definitely true." ”

I saw Li Tong pointing to our left front. And it was pitch black ahead. In addition to the worries in our hearts, but also driven by our inner curiosity, Li Tong and I decided to go over and see what was causing trouble. Li Tong and I each held a flashlight and daily equipment, and quietly walked towards the place where the sound came from.

Didi-da-da, di-di-da-da,....... sound is getting closer and closer, and we are not only afraid, but also have an inexplicable excitement. Ahead, what exactly is it?

Gradually, a small cave appeared in front of me and Li Tong. If it weren't for acoustic positioning, we wouldn't have discovered the cave so quickly. And that tick-to-tick sound came from inside the cave.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Li Tong asked.

"Why don't we go in together tomorrow. I went in this big night, and I was worried about what was in danger. I said worriedly. Li Tong nodded, and finally agreed with my opinion.

After saying that, Li Tong and I decided to return to the ball at night to rest. From time to time, Brother Li came out to replace me, and I went in to rest by myself. I've been sleeping soundly since three in the morning.

I don't know how long it took, but it was already dawn. Rubbing his eyes, he simply washed his face with water, and found that the cannon and Li Tong had already gotten up, leaving Brother Li to rest.

"Seventh brother, I heard the sound of dripping and dading in a trance last night." The cannon said boringly, and Li Tong and I looked at each other and smiled.

From time to time, Brother Li also woke up, smiled and said to the cannon: "That sound came from the cave in front of the left."

"What, Brother Li, you know?" Cannon asked curiously.

"Last night, when I was keeping vigil, I heard a ticking sound coming from the left front. It's just that because it was dark, I didn't rush over. Brother Li continued.

"Shall we go over and have a look?" Cannon said excitedly. The three of us nodded and put the camels and supplies in a shaded area. At the moment, he walked towards the cave with a flashlight and a sapper shovel.

Last night, when it was dark, I only vaguely saw the appearance of the cave, and now I can see the true face of Lushan. The cave is about a dozen meters high, but the façade is pitch black except for the cave entrance. And the dripping sound came from the depths of the cave, and this moan could easily be drowned out.

We walked along the cave to the inside, Brother Li and I walked in front, Li Tong walked in the middle, or the cannon went last. A biting cold wind blew out of the cave, sending the dust on the ground several meters high.

Our group walked more than 100 meters along the cave, but there was still no end in sight. "Did you find that the inside of this cave is wetter than the outside." Li Tong said. Indeed, since the moment I walked into the cave, it was much more humid inside than the dry air outside.

"Is there water in there?" I said happily. Brother Li said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, let's go ahead and take a look, maybe we can find any clues." ”

"Listen, there's dripping water on the cave." Cannon said excitedly. I shone my flashlight at the nearby rock wall, and a drop of water landed right in the pool below. The waterhole not far away seemed to be very deep, and the light of the flashlight shone on it, but the bottom of the water was no longer visible. I didn't expect there to be such a water source in this arid desert.

The four of us ran to the edge of the waterhole and drank the water frantically, the spring water was clear and sweet. It's been a long time since I've drunk such cool spring water.

The cannon said excitedly: "Anyway, the water in our water town is about to run out, so why don't we come over and get water." Brother Li hurriedly stopped and said, "Everyone be careful, don't worry, be careful that there are other things in here." Brother Li's words reminded us that the joy just now instantly turned into calmness.

We nervously surrounded the waterhole with flashlights, monitoring everything that was going on. For a long time, there was no movement in the pool. Just as we were about to leave, there was a commotion above the cave, and countless dark shadows rushed towards me in all directions. After a while, the bats formed a black barrier at the entrance of the cave, and kept pressing at us. Suddenly. It was very difficult for us to deal with the changes that followed

"Fuck, how can there be bats here?" The cannon held the sapper shovel in his hand and kept slapping the bat in front of him, and said nervously.

"Don't talk nonsense yet. Find a way to get out. Li Tong said calmly. At a critical time, this Nizi is still calmer.

Twittering.......

I didn't shoot a few of them, only to see that the whole thing was red, and the face was like a human face. "What kind of bat at this time?"

Brother Li walked up and glanced at it and said, "It's not good, this time we ran into hard stubble." These are human-faced blood bats, which suck blood and are poisonous. ”

As soon as Brother Li finished speaking, the cannon screamed in pain: "Ouch, my hand was bitten by this thing." I rolled up the sleeves of my robe, and the three red paw prints made people look scared for a while. I quickly tore a piece of cloth from my coat and wrapped the cannon's arm around it to prevent infection.

There are more and more bats, and they are about to surround us. If you don't go out again, it's really too late. But are we really going to break through?

"Let's go inside, and wait until these things are calmed down." Brother Li shouted excitedly.

Brother Li and I covered, and the cannon and Li Tong walked ahead this time. Maybe go in and find a place to hide, and it's not too late to get out when these nasty things calm down.
