Upper portion; The wind is calm and the waves are prosperous Chapter 5 The road passes through the valley

Fifty miles to the south of Twin Peaks is the majestic Twin Peaks Mountains, which are more than 1,000 meters above sea level, so the flood did not hit the area.

There are four peaks in the Sparkling Mountains, which are divided into east, west, north and south. The four peaks are like four cones towering above the clouds, and they are all more than 3,000 meters above sea level. The Bi Ling Mountains are located in the middle of nowhere, the mountains are steep, and no one cares about them, and it is a primeval mountain forest.

The four peaks surround a canyon, among which there are several wonderful characters engraved on a stone wall on the mountainside of the north peak, the lotus text translates as "Daojing Valley", I don't know who carved it, the handwriting has been eroded and blurred by the rain.

The terrain of the valley is very low, and there are streams flowing out all year round. In this Jinlin flood, the water level in Daojing Valley was twice as high as in previous years. The stream flows down the gorge between the two peaks in the southeast and south, and the stream never stops throughout the year.

It's early autumn and the trees on the mountain are lush and green. The water and grass are abundant by the stream at the bottom of the valley, and the birds and beasts are clustered, and it is a prosperous scene.

The water in the valley comes from the underground river under the sparkling mountains, and every time it rains, the rainwater from the mountain will seep into the underground river and accumulate, and then flow out from a cave above the cliff wall of the valley.

The underground river under the mountain range is like an underground reservoir, winding and irregular, and is formed by many karst caves, like an underground water cistern.

There are all kinds of stalactites hanging on the roof of the cave, and the rain drips down along the stalactites and converges into a river, which is very spectacular!

The underground cave is not dark and lightless, and the top of the cave is sporadically illuminated by sunlight shining through the gaps in the rocks on the roof of the cave.

The flood waters have subsided for three days, and the water in the cave has gradually cleared up and slowed down a lot. Due to the floodwater, a lot of debris and garbage were involved in the cave, causing the water outlet of the cave to be blocked, and the water flow slowed down. The water in the cave also accumulated, filling almost the entire cave.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of slapping on the water in the cave, followed by several hoarse coughs. After a while, a living creature swam slowly on the surface of the water, and then it circled on the surface of the water, and then it seemed to be asleep, motionless.

After a long time, the living creature swam again on the surface of the water, just under a bright light.

It's a figure! He could vaguely see a small face, two hands, and several balls on his body, which floated his body to the water. The little face was right against one of the round balls, his face was dark and purple, and it was clearly visible in the bright light, he was Liang Qiangping, who was swept away by the flood three days ago.

For three days, he had been in this cave where no light of day had passed!

On that day, the flood of Shuangfeng Mountain swelled, the water level rose rapidly, and the water pressure increased sharply, and the weak connection between the valley under Shuangfeng Mountain and the underground karst cave suddenly pressed out a pit more than ten meters large, and the flood water poured into the underground river along the pothole.

The water level of the underground river is low, and when the flood water rushes in, it forms a huge whirlpool on the surface of the water. Liang Qiangping was swept into the underground river by this huge whirlpool. Fortunately, he had three soccer balls strapped to his body, which brought him to the surface, but fortunately he was not drowned in the flood!

Liang Qiangping tried hard to open his eyes, and saw that it was pitch black all around, and he only heard the sound of rushing water. He was terrified, and he didn't know where he had gone, whether he had died and come to the Netherworld? He opened his mouth and bit his fingers, feeling a faint pain in his fingers, only to know that he was still alive!

The flood carried him all the way down. The further you go inside, the water becomes wider and not as narrow as when you first fell out of the pothole, and the current slows down. At the same time, the river is constantly rising, and the water is getting muddy.

Suddenly, a bright light shot from above his head.

Liang Qiangping looked around with the help of a bright halo, and it was vaguely visible, surrounded by rocks, and cliffs on both sides of the riverbank, isn't this an underground karst cave?

He had drilled into a cave on Mount Twin Peaks, an underground cave similar to the cave on Mount Twin Peaks. There are thousands of strange stalactites hanging on the top of the cave, the stone raindrops are falling down drippingly, and some stalactites have a large water flow, like a small waterfall, straight down, the scene is also very spectacular!

At the moment, he was not in the mood to appreciate these.

The temperature in the cave is low, and the cool breeze makes you shiver!

Liang Qiangping soaked in water for most of the day, his lips were black, and his whole body was cold. With the help of the light, he swam towards a large, flat rock and climbed up the stone face with all his might.

Finally escaped death, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief!

After a while, he took off his clothes, wrung out the muddy water with both hands, spread it on the stone surface, and then curled up and squatted on it.

The water in the cave was still rising, and in less than an hour, the water level had risen to the top of the big rock.

Liang Crazy felt bad, and he had to find a way to climb to the top of the cave!

Although the top of the cave is high, it has smooth stone walls on both sides, and it is impossible to climb with bare hands. What's more, the cave is pitch black, and you can't see it clearly!

Liang thought for a moment and decided to go into the water, following the current to find the entrance to the cave, and perhaps there was a glimmer of hope. If you stay in this cave for a long time, you will starve to death if you don't drown!

He immediately put on his shirt and trousers, fastened his football, and went back into the water, drifting forward with the current.

I don't know how long it took, but the water gradually stopped, and I only felt that the water was rising, but it did not continue to flow.

Liang Qiangping was frightened, guessing that the water outlet must have been blocked! If the flood continues to rise, the cave will have to be filled!

At this moment, he no longer had the strength to swim any further.

It's been more than two days, and he's already exhausted. The whole body was soaked in the water, and the body was already swollen, only two hands held the three footballs, floating on the water with their heads up. It wasn't until three days later, when a bright light from the top of the cave hit his face, that he woke up.

The water level in the cave has risen to the extreme, and only two meters of space remains on the top of the cave that has not been submerged.

Liang opened his eyes in a daze, struggled to swim to a stone trough, and climbed into it. He was cold and hungry, shivering in the cold, muddy floodwater.

He was desperate, and it looked like he was going to die here!

For a long time, he struggled to turn his head and look towards the light at the top of the cave.

The bright light is the sunlight shining through the cracks in the stones on the roof of the cave, presumably not far from the outside world, the light can shine in, and the sound will definitely be heard.

Liang Qiangping was overjoyed, and immediately shouted a few times towards the top of the cave: "Is there anyone?" Help ......"

His physical strength was exhausted, his voice was too weak to be heard, and he only circled around the cave and then disappeared!

What's more, on the top of the cave are the sparkling mountains, deep mountains and old forests, no one cares, even if the sound can be heard, no one will hear it.

Liang Qiangping shrank in the stone trough in despair, staring at the bright light on the top of the cave with his eyes, for a long, long time, and passed out.

As the sun sets, the sparkling mountains darken, and the valley becomes even quieter.

The four peaks of the east, west, south and north rise high and reach into the clouds.

The valley is not large, it is in the middle of the four peaks. The north peak of the four peaks is the largest, and the outlet of the karst cave is at the foot of the north peak.

On weekdays, groundwater in the cave flows out of the outlet. The water outlet is about 100 meters high from the valley bottom, and the groundwater flows out of the water outlet and falls straight down the stone wall to the valley bottom, which is a natural beautiful waterfall.

It's just that the place is remote, undeveloped, and uncared for. In addition, the state closed the mountains to cultivate forests, and this place has become a primitive mountain forest. In the past two days, the outlet was blocked by debris entrained by the flood, and the water could not flow out normally, and it was blocked in the cave.

The valley is more than 50 miles away from the Twin Peaks. On that day, Liang Qiangping was swept into a pothole by the flood and drifted to the Bijing Mountains with the floodwater. Because the water outlet is blocked, the flood water flows into the karst cave and cannot be discharged, so that the karst cave is filled with floodwater, forming an underground reservoir.

After the flood receded, Liang Deming summoned villagers to sneak into the pit to salvage Liang Rangping. The two strong men dived for hundreds of meters but still couldn't find anyone, so they reluctantly retreated.

The crowd salvaged for several days but still had no results, and had to fill the hole.
