The width of this canyon is different below, the wide place is very wide, and the narrow ground is washed by the river, only a few steps wide, except for walking in the water, there is no other place to go, we have to take off our shoes and go into the water, but the king will not let us take off the head, I heard that the water is slippery and cold, and people are easy to slip and fall with bare feet. We had to put our shoes into the water, and as soon as we got into the water, it was really cold, but fortunately, the river was not very deep, and we walked forward in the water, and the water was getting colder and colder, and we were like standing in ice water.

Looking to the side, there are some ice ballasts in the stone crevices next to it, and some places can see ice cubes from the stone crevices, and here is really the same as the king said, there is ice that does not melt for ten thousand years. The cold air in the water, a steady stream of surging from the feet to the body, our teeth began to fight, I looked at the face of the next to the Qinglian, the little face of the Qinglian was white, the lips were purple from the cold, the thin body had been shaking there, I grabbed the hand of Qinglian, her little hands were cold, at this time my hands were not cold, I used to hold her hand, there would be an inexplicable heartbeat, but now my heart is almost not beating, the feeling of heartbeat disappeared without a trace.

We can only go forward in the water, and if we don't, we will definitely freeze. Mao Qinglian's other hand, holding Luo Xihan's hand, we pulled each other forward, some places in the water were very slippery, it was better for me to walk by myself, but these three people together, became a rope of grasshoppers, walking was troublesome, I was dragged by Mao Qinglian behind me, the three of us slipped into the water at the same time, the biting ice water, wet our clothes, the last bit of heat on the body, was also taken away by the ice water.

The king quickly pulled us up, and then said to us, "Go quickly, for if you don't go for a while, you will be too cold to walk." ”

When I heard this, I looked at Mao Qinglian and Luo Xihan behind me, their bodies were dripping with water, and they were shivering vigorously, and I said to the two people: "Hurry up, you will freeze if you stop in the water." ”

Luo Xihan was shivering there and said, "Second brother, I, I'm so frozen that I can't walk, you can go, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out." ”

I said, "What are these words, we will go out soon, come, I will take you away." ”

After finishing speaking, I stretched out my hand, Luo Xihan shook his head and said, "No, in that case, it will affect you and my sister, you can go." I ......"

I said, "Don't say it, none of us will stay, Tianning, you pull your fourth brother, let's go, we will definitely be able to get out." ”

After I finished speaking, I pulled Mao Qinglian and walked in front, walking fast in this water so as not to be frozen. We walked forward, not knowing where to get to the place where there was no water, and here we were, when suddenly there was a sharp ghost cry in front of us, and the voice was terrible, like a person shouting there, and I quickly said, "Look, there is a situation ahead." ”

The king turned his head and said, "This, this may be the sound of the wind, and this ghost calls that sometimes the wind blows in the cliff, and when the wind blows, there will be this sound." ”

As soon as the king finished speaking, a gust of wind blew over, and it was a yin wind, with a cold air that almost froze us to death, and behind the wind, it seemed to be followed by something, and the thing flashed by, and then there was nothing. I didn't say it, but I knew in my heart that it was a human ghost that passed just now, and the cry was made by a ghost, not a rumor at all. As we walked on, the king stopped his head and said, "What are you doing with your head?" ”

The king turned his head and said, "There is a man behind the stone, and you see that behind the stone is a man." ”

When we looked at it, there was a stone in front of us, which was not more than three feet high, and behind the stone, half of the head was exposed, and on the head was wearing a felt hat, as if it was leaning against the stone and falling asleep. On the stone, there is a piece like the bark of a tree, and it is impossible to say that a person is asleep in the water, because the water is too cold, unless a dead person can fall asleep in the water against the stone.

When we saw this, under the leadership of the king, we cautiously walked up to him, and looked at the man in the felt hat, and it was indeed a dead man, who should not have been dead for too long, leaning there with his eyes closed, and the corpse really seemed to be asleep. The king looked at the corpse and said, "Another man who died here for picking a mallet." ”

And when he had finished speaking, he went to the stone, and took up the bark, and opened the bark, and in the bark was moss and earth, and the king cleaned the moss with his head, and revealed something with long roots, and when he looked at it, I remembered that this should be the ginseng we were looking for. However, this ginseng is not very large, only the thickness of a finger.

The king washed his head with ginseng, bowed to the dead man a few times, and said to the dead man: "Big brother, none of us are outsiders, borrow the big brother's things today, and if the big brother has any unfulfilled wishes, tell me in a dream, and I will help the big brother complete it." ”

After finishing speaking, pull the root of the ginseng and tear it open. When I saw this, I quickly said, "Boss, is this the mallet we are looking for?" ”

The king nodded, and I said, "Boss, what we have worked so hard to find is to find the mallet, why do you want to destroy the mallet?" ”

Wang put his head and said: "This mallet, sweet taste, slightly bitter, into the spleen, lungs and two meridians, has the effect of greatly replenishing vitality, ginseng to enhance people's firepower, the effect is excellent, is the best quality of the cold, now we eat this mallet, the body will not be so cold, we are good to get out of this cold water river, originally I thought that you ate the fairy egg, can resist this cold, now it seems basically useless, if you can't keep out the cold, the four of you can't hold on at all." ”

I said, "Well, we came this time to find a mallet to save our lives, and now that we have found a mallet, how can we eat it?" ”

The king turned his head and said, "You are really confused, if this brother did not give up his life and wealth, how could he freeze to death in this river after eating this mallet he took at that time, besides, we will not eat this mallet, and we cannot take it out, because it is this brother who has exchanged his life, and we will save our lives, and he has nothing to say in the ground, and if we take it out, I am afraid that it will ......."

When the king said this, he tore the ginseng open at once, and then he tore it into four parts, and let each of us eat one portion, and then said to us, "Eat it quickly, or you will not be able to get out of this cold water river." ”

I saw that Wang only divided the ginseng into four parts, and there was no own ginseng, and I saw that there was no ginseng given to me by the king, so the king looked at me and said, "Brother Yang, why don't you take it?" ”

I said, "I can't take this mallet, you only have four parts, and you don't have your own." ”

The king turned his head and said: "I am an old bone and old meat, you can't compare, I grew up in this northeast, and I am more frost-resistant than you, so you hurry up and eat it to resist the cold." ”

I said, "No, if you don't eat it, I won't eat it either." ”

After listening to this, Wang had to divide the ginseng into two parts, he gave me one for himself, I took the ginseng, looked at it like a tree root, looked at nothing, but when I ate it, the taste of wild ginseng was very strange, first it was a slightly bitter fragrance, and then the bitterness began to sweeten and become a sweet taste, and I ate a few bites and formed a warm heat in my stomach. The heat slowly spreads all over the body, very comfortable, with a stream of heat, the cold of our body, slowly forced out, we are in the water, and we feel not too cold, and our bodies have strength.

Although I ate ginseng, I couldn't stay in the cold water for a long time, and I couldn't give the dead people more than they could, so we had to move forward, I tugged at Mu Qinglian's hand, I felt her hand hot, and my heartbeat could be felt. As we were walking forward, there was a thunderous sound, and when the king heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said to us, "Run, run." ”

After saying that, we ran forward quickly, we saw the king run forward, we also ran forward, the thunder behind us became louder and louder, boom, boom, to the end we felt that the canyon where we were was shaking was shaking, then there was a loud bang, the water was overflowing, something fell, and then there was a loud noise, there were many things falling into the water, we looked back, only to see a huge stone fell on the place where we just stayed, next to it was countless broken stones, the water was blocked by the gravel all of a sudden.
