Chapter 114: The Waterways
I glanced back at the hole where we had come up, and the third man hadn't come up yet. I thought that they hadn't come up yet, so they were waiting here, so it was better to go to the water cave and have a look.
San'er and I hit it off, and he also wanted to go over and have a look.
It doesn't seem like a long distance, but it took a lot of effort to get there. Since there are stones of different sizes scattered throughout the space, we can only jump on the stones.
When I got to the other side, I realized that the water hole here was much more spectacular than what we had just seen. Maybe there was some big rock in the middle that blocked the view, so I didn't think there was anything special when I looked at the water hole over there. But when I look at it here, it feels completely different.
Let's not talk about the situation inside the water hole, just look at the edge of the water hole and you will be surprised. The large and small water holes are all the same on the outside, and none of the water holes poke out a little more, and at first glance it looks like it has been cut by a knife.
I don't know if I'm right, but I think the exterior of the water hole is probably artificial. Maybe before there was a mechanism here, it was a natural water hole like this. It may be because of the design of the rotation mechanism that the water hole in this distance was hollowed out, and it became the large water storage space of the basketball court now. This seems to be the most reasonable explanation, but the amount of work to empty out this space is quite large.
The flashlight looked into the water hole, and it was basically less than ten meters away, because it was winding and rugged inside, and it turned before it was ten meters away.
The water in the cave is basically gone, only the scattered low-lying uneven places will have some stagnant water, and it seems that the water here also flows into the space below with the whirlpool.
San'er and I entered a slightly larger water hole, but as soon as we reached the first turn, we realized that it was not as simple as we thought.
After this bend, the situation inside becomes complicated. Several waterways appeared before us, each of a different shape, and it looked like there was more water standing inside than outside.
We walked along one of the waterways, and as soon as we entered the new water hole, we found that there were many water channels in this water hole that led to different directions.
Seeing so many waterways, we didn't dare to go any further, and walked back down the original waterways back into the larger water holes.
"Do you think this will lead to the place where the wolf cubs are trapped?" I was a little puzzled because the waterways here are so complicated that it's not as simple as looking at the water hole from the outside.
"As long as the old prostitute is telling the truth, then you should be able to find the location where they are trapped by entering from here." San'er replied.
"Don't worry about this, don't look at the old prostitute who usually likes to be nonsense, but he is not sloppy at all." I thought back to the place where the old prostitute had described to me the little wolf and they were trapped, and when I thought of something, I was surprised and said, "Could this be the one that leads to the bottom of the place where they are trapped?" ”
"It should be." San'er continued: "Didn't the old prostitute say that there is a hole in the underground river where they are trapped?"
"That's right, that's what the old prostitute said."
If so, then it means that the place where the wolf catches the fish in the water is most likely a hole in the water.
I looked into the intricate waterways, and though I couldn't see far at all, I was glad that I had finally found a way to where the wolf cubs were trapped.
I started to get a little anxious, and from time to time I looked back to see if the old prostitutes had come up. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many waterways in front of me, I would have liked to leave a note and go in with San'er.
To cut a long story short, waiting was the most anxious thing, and it took a full twenty minutes for all four of them to gather together.
Scar is the third to come up, and he consumes the longest time, but it is understandable, after all, this kind of climbing skill along the rope is not proficient in everyone, even if his physical fitness is good, it is difficult to master this climbing skill without real training.
Before the old prostitute and Scar came up, San'er and I took out the parchment roll and carefully discussed which direction to go. Luckily, there was a parchment roll, otherwise it would have been hard for us to determine the direction.
In fact, the direction we choose is not necessarily correct, but we choose a range with the smallest error. Originally, San'er had to study it carefully, but I really didn't want to discuss it so much. All I want now is to get in and find the little wolves as quickly as possible, even if it's for me to walk through all the water holes inside, as long as I can find them.
That's exactly what I thought at the time, but when I actually got into the water hole, I realized how naïve it was.
The old prostitute was the last to come up and didn't give him time to rest. As soon as he came up, we were so anxious to leave that he didn't know what he was doing in the water hole. Before I entered the water hole, the old prostitute chased me and asked me, what are you doing in there?
I was so anxious to get in that I didn't explain much to him, just told him that this was the only way to save the little wolf. Although the old prostitute kept asking for details, I didn't want to delay my progress by talking to him, so I ignored him.
When this guy saw that I didn't pay attention to him, he thought I was angry with him for taking turquoise, and explained it again in front of me, saying that taking turquoise was really for me and the little wolf.
Maybe I ignored his explanation, or maybe he was a little guilty, and he even reported his courage without knowing the direction, and he had to go to the front, and threw out a sentence of sacrificing his life for righteousness, saying that he was born as a hero, and died as a ghost, and he was willing to use his life to open the way for his brothers.
San'er was unceremoniously, not only did she not object, but also introduced the direction she was going to go and the situation inside.
I don't understand San'er's approach, he obviously said that he would go ahead and lead the way, how could the old prostitute let the old prostitute lead the way as soon as he said it.
I don't know if it's because I'm about to find the little wolf where they are trapped The old prostitute was happy, and she sang while walking in the water hole, and changed the lyrics, and the singing was quite elegant. When he sang like this, it calmed my anxious mood, especially when I heard the echo after he sang, which was much better than his own voice.
"The stone road in Dabancheng is hard and flat, the watermelon is big and sweet, the girl in Dabancheng has long braids, and her eyes are so beautiful, if you marry someone else, you must marry me, lead your sister, and your money, all of them belong to me, all of them belong to me, all of them belong to me......"
The old prostitute was singing vigorously, and before the second sentence "It's all mine" was sung, she snapped it in the puddle, and the whole person came to gnaw on the ground.
He planted a puddle of water, which made us laugh, and for a while, the water hole was full of echoes of our laughter.
After the old prostitute got up, she did not stand up immediately, but touched something in the puddle with her hands.
Scar and I both thought it was something he had dropped, and we went along to help touch it. I touched it several times but I couldn't touch anything, but I felt that the puddle was very strange, as if there was a hole the size of a basin in the pit.
Scar scratched his hands in the water a few times, as if he had touched something, and took it up, but before he could take it out of the water, he just saw a silhouette, his hand was released, and he immediately exclaimed: "Ghost, there is a ghost."
