Chapter 52: The Entrance (Part II)
As soon as I heard the bald man's words, I immediately felt a little anxious, and muttered in my heart, could it be that what this grandson said before was watery? What else is there to hide from the origin of the Eye of the Yellow Springs?
silently observed the bald man's expression, but found that the old flesh on the grandson's cheeks had been wrinkled and jumped in a hurry, and a layer of clear oil appeared on his head, which had no hair at all!
"Bald, don't worry, where is the exact location of your recollection?" , I asked in as calm a tone as I could;
"Which eye did you see that Lao Tzu was in a hurry? I swear to Thor, the place where I tripped over that stone statue is that neighborhood, you can see for yourself, the traces of the team pulling me out are still in the mud, you can't be wrong! The bald man said calmly, but anyone could see that his eyes were bloodshot.
"Huya, call the dumb and let's go and have a look", I threw a word to the Huya in the back of my head, but the person was already pulled by the bald man and ran to a mudflat not far away;
"This damn hell place, when Lao Tzu gets acquainted with Thor, he must ask for a thunderbolt to burn this island along with your gentle slope! Take you back to our tribe, no matter how rotten and small we are, it's better than your ruined place where people are killed everywhere! ”;
The bald man muttered as he walked, and the more he muttered, the louder it became, and then it was like venting, and his feet were not idle, and he would kick the water when he saw the blisters, but the bald man was not stupid after all, he didn't dare to kick the mud, because no one knew if there would be a dead and rotten tree root waiting to hit his toes under the mudflat, he only dared to kick the relatively clear water bubbles, yes, those small puddles were very clear, and I could even see the swaying aquatic plants and fern roots in them;
I turned my head to look at the tiger girl behind me who was vigilant at any time, but I didn't see the dumb person, my brows suddenly wrinkled, and before I could ask my words, the bald man in front of me suddenly screamed, his body was crooked, and half of his body sank into the mud with a pop.
Almost at the same time as the bald man shouted, I suddenly remembered that I had heard people say that the most terrible thing in the swamp was not in the depths of the swamp, but in the swamps at the edge of the swamps, and the swamps were very camouflaged, and some of them would become large pools in the rainy season, and after a while they would slowly dry up, and the silt would accumulate year after year, and once the water was impounded, it formed a trap that looked very natural;
The most dangerous thing is that because this kind of quagmire is different from swamps, the elements they rely on to form are not the mixture of dead branches and leaves in the swamp, but a large amount of water source, so it is easy to form a water flow under the mud of this quagmire, that is, it looks like a muddy ground on the surface, and it is likely that there is a dark river slurry under the mud, if you really encounter such a place, it will be difficult for anyone to fall into it to survive;
But I haven't seen it rain in such a place, but where can it store so much water and harm people!
"Huya, grab my thigh! Bald, don't splash in the mud if you don't want to die! The bald man was a little panicked, although he pretended to be calm and did not shout, but his hands were patting up and down in the mud, as if he felt that as long as he posed like swimming, he could smoothly paddle out of the mud!
But the more he tossed, the faster his body sank, and I could almost see the grandson wrapped in mud around his waist, his chest sunk, and his neck drowned, leaving only his head and frightened eyes exposed;
To tell you the truth, I was actually a little offended, because the spear in my hand could have dragged him up just as he was drenched in the mud, but I felt that it was really cheap for this grandson, so I delayed for a moment, but I didn't expect the speed of the quagmire to sink into the people so quickly!
"Do you dare to argue with God in the future?" , I looked at the bald man lying on the ground covered in black mud, panting for breath in horror;
"Fuck off, yourself... Try it yourself? It feels like being dumb... The dumb fat woman hugged the same as she wanted... It's hard to change your breath...", said the bald man with a pale face and breathlessness, and the habitual evil smile on his face was no longer visible;
"Dumb? By the way, which of you is dumb? I suddenly remembered the scene just now, Huya's back was empty, and there was no one anymore;
There was a blank look on the faces of the two of them at the same time, I chuckled in my heart, I wanted to be bad, and hurriedly shouted a few times around, but the sound was immediately drowned out by the sound of the huge river rushing under the cliff, where can I hear the echo?
I hurriedly said to the tiger girl: "You go back with me to get the rattan, and one person drags one head to search for the dumb", I shouted, but the person was already striding in the direction of the rattan, and only the bald man shouted behind him: "Don't throw yourself here!" ”;
I have to say that the dumb man is lucky, he is only trapped more than twenty meters away from the place where we just rested, but he is also unlucky, because when the tiger girl found him, his whole person had fallen into the swamp, leaving only one arm still waving on the mud surface, so the swamp he fell into was not the mudflat when the bald man was just in danger, but the swamp in the pure sense, the speed of the fall was very slow, but now his head has been completely submerged in the mud, even if he is rescued, Whether or not he will survive is completely unknown, and I can even clearly see the bubbles as the mute breathes in the mud!
The rescue process is not complicated, it can even be said that it cannot be simpler, I don't know why, the dumb arm did not sink another half an inch in the swamp mud, but obviously he has lost consciousness, no matter how we shout, he does not take the initiative to touch the spear shaft we handed over, which makes the pulling process a lot more complicated, we have to tie his arm with rattan, only to barely pull him out a little;
"Bald, go to the place where you just fell in, find that blister and get some water, go quickly!" , I shouted to the bald man behind me, who couldn't help at all;
As soon as a round, mud-covered head came out of the mud, I realized that the situation before me was worse than I had thought it would be, the dumb man's entire head was completely covered in mud, his mouth was wide open, his nose and mouth were full of mud, and most importantly, his neck had no stretching movement, and he had clearly stopped breathing;
"But you can't drink the water in this kind of mire, and if you drink it, you'll die!" , the tiger girl pulled the spear vigorously and said in her mouth;
"I can't die, the water in that blister is the living water that comes out of the ground, it's different from the mud of this swamp, your grandma is going quickly, no matter how late the dumb person is, it's really hopeless!" I shouted as I glared at the bald man who was still standing there;
This kind of drag is completely tug-of-war, I didn't expect that there would be such a big suction force under the swamp, and it would make me and Huya spend so much effort to just drag the dumb half of the body out of the mud, and the body below the waist is still trapped in it and cannot move;
"Dumb, don't pretend to be dead! Move on! I seemed to be shouting at the man in the mud, and only I understood that it was cheering myself up, and my hands seemed to be a little out of strength, and the tiger girl seemed to be no better than me, in order to get the mute out of danger as soon as possible, her feet approached the mire step by step, and I even saw the foul-smelling mud swallowing her ankles;
At this moment, the tail of the spear suddenly lightened, and a backward force came from behind me, as if helping to pull, I thought in my heart that the bald man who was out of tune did not dare to step into the blister to get water and ran back, but just when I turned around and wanted to curse, I found that the person behind me who was desperately pulling the spear shaft was actually the "dumb" who should be in the swamp right now!
