Chapter 19: Treading the Wujiang River (8)
Mr. Shuishu's narration did not solve the doubts in my heart, but strengthened my determination to uncover the truth of this matter.
Judging from the information available now, it is likely that my father's team back then was only the executor rather than the leader, and there was someone else behind the guide and facilitating this matter.
It seems that only by finding out the situation in this tomb and finding out what Junwang really wants, can he force the initiator of this matter to speak.
Mr. Shui Shui told us the story and delayed for some time, and when we sorted out the clues, the whole cave has begun to appear in the mist, faint is not very obvious, at first glance I thought it was water vapor, if Mr. Shui Shui did not say that these fogs will hallucinate, it is easy to be ignored as ordinary fog.
We didn't bring gas masks or anything like that, and most of the fog was no better than the team back then.
In fact, there are many plausible and ominous places in Mr. Shuishu's narrative. I was puzzled, but I didn't show it, Su Lanmiao and I probably thought the same, and said lip words to me when Mr. Shui Shu was not paying attention. The two of us secretly exchanged glances, and as long as Mr. Shui Shu made any abnormal moves, he would be restrained immediately.
The speed at which these mist was generated was very fast, and Su Lanmiao took out a few strips of gauze from her backpack to wet them with water and distributed them to us to cover our mouths and noses.
We use this stupid method to defend against the fog for the time being, while looking for a place where we can hide from it.
Since my father and Dong Er were able to survive back then, it means that there must be a place to hide, or there is a way to overcome these fogs.
The space of the cave is not large, except for the underground lake in the middle, there are not many places to put your feet, the four of us are looking for a place to avoid the fog along the underground lake, as expected, we have not traveled far, we see that there is a step to dig up on the edge of the cave, very regular workmanship, at a glance it is for people to climb.
I glanced up and saw that the steps stretched out to the top I don't know how high, but there was no other way but to take a chance.
We were wary of Mr. Shui, and the fat man offered to let him take the lead, and Mr. Shuishui glared at the two of us, snorted and began to climb up.
There was a slight depression at the bottom of the steps, which was not too difficult to climb, and we could feel a slight wind direction as we climbed up, perhaps these breezes offset the upwelling of the fog below, and there was no obvious fog as we climbed.
The steps were carved along the mountain, which was fine at first, but after a long time, it actually consumed as much physical strength as rock climbing, and after five minutes, my hands and feet were already a little disobedient.
I shook my sore neck vigorously, trying to ask Mr. Shui how long it would take for Mr. Shui to get to the end.
The fat man scolded loudly on it, and before I could ask the fat man what happened, a person fell down close to me, and I subconsciously reached out and grabbed a handful, and I saw Mr. Shui Shu's falling figure smiling weirdly at me.
