Chapter 15: Out of the Swamp

Professor Xia was holding a pencil in his hand and sketching the surrounding mountains in his sketchbook, and judging from his proficiency, I wondered if he was not an archaeologist, but more like an architecture student.

After some description, he turned his head to look at me: "Sen, you have also been watching me for a while, do you see some clues?" ”

His sketches are precisely depicted, covering everything from the surrounding hills to the swamps. What puzzled me was that from this unequal swamp, Professor Xia actually measured that our current location was actually to the southwest, and he made a special circle.

From where the raft was stagnant now, it looked like it was in the center of the swamp, and we didn't expect the illusion to fool our eyes.

"Uncle Xia, you are still powerful, I have just been deceived by this fantasy! In my opinion, it is obviously impossible to unravel it according to the convention. "I shared my views with him.

The thought sent him into a new round of contemplation. At this time, Ling Xin seemed to be a little exhausted, put one hand on my shoulder, and said to me in a weak voice, "Sen, I'm afraid I'm suffering from heat stroke......

As soon as she finished speaking, she collapsed in my arms, and Professor Xia hurried over to help, and we both lay her down on the bamboo raft. At this time, we have fallen into a desperate situation, and the two of us who are squatting next to Ling Xin no longer seem calm, especially Professor Xia, who first clenched his fists with both hands and was anxious, and then wiped the sweat on his face with one hand.

Listening to her heart, sweat was dripping from her face and neck, and her lips were white. Seeing that she couldn't last long, Professor Xia was no longer impatient, but looked at me very calmly.

"Sen, what about your 'strong magnetic compass', can you see if it's okay here?" Professor Xia fainted when he saw Lingxin, and his eyes were red with sadness.

"No, Uncle Xia, I've seen it just now, it can't be activated, maybe that meteorite has some connection with here, it striked!" I said to him with a helpless shake of my head.

At this time, Professor Xia's lost look was the second time I saw it, the first time was when I was critically ill in bed when I was a child, and my father's eyes were just like Professor Xia now.

I seemed more anxious than Professor Xia, and silently muttered: "There must be a way, there must be a way......"

In a trance, a voice came to my mind: beet~beep~beet~

That's when I realized that this was the sound of the system in a game I used to play, "Distinguish the Difference", and I had a flash of inspiration to understand that the exit of this mirror maze was in the southeast.

In "Distinguishing the Difference", the most bizarre level is that the color difference of the buttons of the characters in the two pictures is different, which is extremely eye-catching; As a result, only the south-eastern landscape is undistorted. We had no choice but to give it a go.

"Mori, you're okay!" Seeing that my mental state was not good, Professor Xia patted me on the shoulder and said with concern.

"It's okay, Uncle Xia, don't worry about me. I've figured out a route out of this labyrinth - in the southeast! "When I was interrupted by him, I first told him what I thought.

After listening to my words, Professor Xia didn't have time to think deeply, and hurriedly said to me: "Then let's hurry up and try to get out quickly!" ”

"Hmm!" As I spoke, I picked up the penny and paddled it along the southeast.

"It's close!" Seeing that the distance between us and Quanshan was getting closer, Professor Xia shouted excitedly.

"Uncle Xia, it seems that my judgment is right," I looked at him, "I guess we will be able to row to the foot of Quanshan in a while, you can help Ling Xin up and feed her some water." ”

After listening to my suggestion, Professor Xia took out a quarter of the remaining mineral water from the backpack next to Lingxin, helped Lingxin up, and fed her the water tremblingly, with a complicated expression on his face.

After glancing at them, I turned my head, propped the raft with a penny, and rowed desperately towards the shore, thinking that a second would be a second.

When the raft approached, the depth of the surrounding water was no longer enough to carry the weight of the three of us. Seeing that Lingxin was already unconscious, I didn't have time to think about it, so I jumped off the bamboo raft and went down into the swamp, dragging the bamboo raft with both hands and dragging it to the shore.

"Sen!" Professor Xia then shouted, "Watch out for that hairy grass! ”

"It's okay, Uncle Xia, I'll avoid it!" I was already covered with mud up to my knees, and I answered him.

The mud in the swamp was still as cold as ice under the scorching sun, and the resistance was very great as walking on it, and my strength was almost exhausted, and perhaps the potential that people could be stimulated in a critical moment was limitless. For this reason, I did my best and was the fastest.

"It's here!" I rolled on my side and fell to the ground and looked at Professor Xia, "Uncle Xia, we are here, you hurry up and help Lingxin to go under the tree over there, I need to lie down here for a while, slow down my strength, and I'll be over in a while." ”

Professor Xia, who picked up Lingxin, glanced at me and said, "Sen, you hold on for a while, and after I send Lingxin over, I will come over to help you." ”

"Hmm!" Looking at Professor Xia, I smiled slightly and nodded. Then, I turned my head to see him, who was already very weak, holding his heart and walking towards the big tree.

After turning my head, I was lying on the ground and I didn't have the strength to turn over, and the direct sunlight pierced my eyes. However, I smiled with satisfaction.

"Listen to the heart, wake up." In a trance, I saw Ling Xin's eyelids twitch slightly, "Ling Xin, you finally woke up, you have been in a coma for more than an hour." ”

At this time, I helped her to sit up slowly under the tree, and Professor Xia on the side was worried: "Lingxin, you are awake, you scared Dad just now......

"Dad, I'm fine, don't worry." After Ling Xin interrupted him, he shook his head violently, as if he had not fully awakened due to heat stroke just now.

"Sen, did you save us?" Lingxin looked at me and asked.

"No, it's all of us who are united and work together to get out of this predicament." I listened and told her the truth.

"Come, listen. Let's drink some water first! I unscrewed the cap and handed her the water, "You've just woken up, drink slowly, don't choke." ”

"Well," Lingxin smiled at me after drinking the water, "thank you!" ”

Her tranquil smile is like a breeze in summer, refreshing people's hearts.

"Thank you, we're teammates!" I didn't like other people's thank-you speeches to me the most, so I patted her on the shoulder and said.

She smiled awkwardly, handed me the water back, and brushed the hair that drooped down her cheeks, "Are we just teammates?" ”

"Ahaha!" Ling Xin asked me this sentence unexpectedly, which made Professor Xia on the side laugh. Immediately, Professor Xia patted me on the shoulder and walked away silently.

I heard what she meant, looked up at the sky, then lowered my head and silently added: "Life and death go hand in hand, the exclusive kind." ”

"Tut-tut," she turned her face mischievously when I said that, "and she said a nice word." ”

After a while, the scorching sun in the sky was about to usher in the final curtain of its day, and there were beautiful fiery clouds.
