415.Chapter 415 (40)
After deciding to go down the culvert, I found a crooked neck tree next to the river bank and tied the rope tightly on it, the rope given by the sister-in-law was not very long, about twelve or thirteen meters, and it was knotted in several places, and it should be tied together with several ropes to be so long.
Getting the rope right, I pulled it hard, and it was sturdy enough to support my weight.
Standing on the edge of the culvert, I wandered for a while, and smoked a lot, until the cigarette case was empty, I took a few deep breaths, threw away the cigarette butt in my hand, made a few gestures towards the culvert, said, 'Ancestors bless me,' and groped my way down the culvert.
The culvert is terrible black, because it has been washed by the water flow for many years, the cave wall is also very slippery, not to mention finding a force point, even the most basic stability of the body is not there, just under the culvert, the whole body fell directly.
This scene frightened me into a panic, almost didn't scream, it was really a strong man who died before he was paid, I didn't dare to be careless, I grabbed the flashlight with one hand, this flashlight is my only reliance in the culvert, only some light emitted by the flashlight, can I find a sense of security.
In the process of falling, I kept my eyes on the culvert, and found that there was no trace of the culvert except for stones and stones, and the light at the entrance of the cave was getting farther and farther away from me until it completely disappeared from my eyes.
I don't know how many meters I fell, but I knew that I felt a pain in my lower back, and the rope came to an end, and when I opened my eyes, the culvert was suddenly open and turned into a very large natural cave, and my body was located right at the exit of the culvert.
I grabbed the rope with one hand, trying to make the rope shake as little as possible, but the manpower seemed a little slim, not to mention reducing the shaking, but making the rope shake even more, dragging my body on the cave wall several times, the pain was terrible, almost didn't make me burp.
The rope shook for seven or eight minutes, and when the rope was a little more stable, I didn't dare to move, so I took my flashlight and began to look at the cave, which was very large, and was surrounded by those strange-shaped stones. What puzzled me was that there was some green on the stones, and I could see those green things moving in a trance.
I was stunned, could it be a firefly? Just when this thought came to my mind, the sound of 'bang-la-la' water flowed, as if it was coming from below, and when I looked down, I was stunned, and cold sweat broke out on my back.
I saw that seven or eight meters below was the boundless water surface, which was green and secluded, like the lights of thousands of homes. Because of the distance, I could only see the green stuff swimming on the surface of the water, just like the rocks, and I didn't know what it was.
As for the sound of the water, I couldn't figure out where it came from, so I had to suppress the doubts in my heart and start thinking about the current situation.
To be honest, I regret going down the culvert in a hurry, and if I had been given enough time, I could have gone to town to buy some underwater supplies. However, the situation of the little boss and the old king did not give me that time at all.
After thinking about it for a while, it would definitely not be possible to hang in mid-air like this, and it had to go below. However, I am about seven or eight meters away from the surface of the water, and with my physique, it will definitely not be a problem to jump down, but I am afraid that the water below will be very shallow, and I will hit the stones at once, there is no doubt, I must definitely report to the king of Hades.
What to do? Now there is still a chance to climb up, once I leave this rope, even if I am completely trapped in this culvert, not to mention this height, just this boundless water, I have no confidence that I can swim through, as long as I jump, it will be a certain death.
Made, this question bothered me to death, and I reached out and touched my body, but there was nothing but the two eyeballs, which meant that I had only a flashlight and a lighter on me now.
For a while, I was a little panicked, to be honest, I was afraid of death, and even cherished my life more than anyone else, but there are some things, knowing that it is death, I must do it, maybe I am such a fool!
At that moment, I untied the rope that was tied around my waist, and because of the weight of my whole body on the rope, and because I was afraid that the slipknot would not be strong, I tied the rope into a dead knot. So, it took a lot of time to untie the rope.
When the rope was about to be untied, I was afraid that it would fall suddenly, so I took the flashlight in my mouth, grasped the rope with one hand, and untied the rope with the other.
Due to the distance, I couldn't see it very clearly, and I could only vaguely see the water shaking, according to my guess, the water should be very deep, otherwise the water surface would not ripple.
Thinking of this, I took a few deep breaths, suppressed the fear in my heart, closed my eyes, kept praying in my heart, and slowly loosened my hand, and my whole body smashed on the surface of the water, making a loud 'poof' sound.
Before I could react, my body fell to the bottom of the water at a rapid speed. Made, those are all lies, what to say that you can still survive by jumping into the sea, not to mention the nature of the water, this water pressure alone can make people collapse, I feel that my body is about to be flattened by this water pressure, so I have to let it fall.
I don't know how long I fell, until my speed slowed down and my limbs could move slightly, and I didn't hesitate to scurry my limbs and struggle upwards.
A person's physical strength is extremely limited, about 30 times in the water, his limbs are sore, and a feeling of weakness comes, and he only feels as if his limbs are not his own.
However, I didn't dare to stop, once I stopped, I would probably be buried in unknown waters, where to care about whether my limbs were sour or not, I just wanted to float to the surface as soon as possible, hold my breath, and use my limbs together.
After about a minute or two, I floated up, and I don't know what's going on, the water is a little strange, it seems that the buoyancy is better than ordinary water, because my limbs are so sore that I can't move at all, but my body still floats.
Swimmers know that if the buoyancy between people and water is compared to 1, the weight ratio of most people is more than 1, and only a very small number of people can float on the surface of the water if the weight ratio is less than 1.
And I was one of those people, but my body still floated, which only means that there is something wrong with the water.
I was stunned, it's a good thing to be able to float, and I didn't think so much, I pressed the flashlight, don't really say, the quality of this electronic product is really good, after soaking in water for so long, it can still light up, much better than the so-called high-end electronic products now.
I looked around with a flashlight, and it was dark and silent, and I didn't know where the green things had gone, which made me a little puzzled.
