Chapter 30: The Mystery in the Water
The monkey was swept away by the river in front of my eyes, and I kept calling his name to the water, but there was no response at all, and the broken rope that kept swimming with the current was still in my hand, was the monkey really washed away by the river like this? I was so nervous that I couldn't accept the reality that if something happened to the monkey, what would I do......
After a while, I came back to my senses a little, and then a question suddenly popped up in my heart, how could the monkey's rope suddenly break! Thinking about it, I immediately grabbed the cut rope and looked at it, and found that the broken part of the rope was extremely smooth, which was cut by a sharp weapon!
How is this possible, even if the rope is broken, it can only be broken by friction on the stone wall, how can it be cut by a sharp weapon, could it be that the monkey was accidentally cut by the dagger in his hand when he scratched the stone wall indiscriminately just now? In any case, the monkey was really swept away by the river, and if there was a cliff and waterfall in front of the river, then he would be very lucky!
"Old Yang! I'm here! ”
Just when I was panicking, suddenly a monkey's scream startled me, and just when I thought I had heard it wrong, the monkey's voice came again: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu has a big life and catches ...... Rope! ”
I looked up and followed the sound, and saw that in the middle of the river, seven or eight meters downstream, a head was exposed on the water and shouted at me, what a fucking monkey!
"Holy shit! You're not dead yet! ”
It really made me happy to see the monkey reappear on the water, and to be honest, I was really excited at this point!
"Pull me over!"
The monkey shouted at me while waving his arms, and it seemed that he was grabbing some rope when he said just now, and strangely, wasn't the rope tied around his waist broken, and where was the rope he was grabbing at this moment?
But it seemed as if he had reached something, or he would not have been able to float in the middle of the river without being swept away, and then I saw him start pulling a rope in my direction, and I shone my flashlight along the rope, and it dawned on me that it was the root-like thing that we had seen growing from the stone wall!
I quickly moved a few meters forward, and when I got closer to the stone wall, it was not a tree root, but a real rope! The rope was covered with expansion screws, and it was anchored directly into the stone wall, and there was more than one, and there were six in a row!
"Help pull me, why are you still stunned?"
The monkey yelled at me again, I grabbed the rope and pulled it, and the monkey leaned over without pulling twice, and when I saw that he was safe and sound, I suddenly wanted to cry: "You really have it on a dog day, this can't wash you away!" ”
The monkey breathed a sigh of relief, and I helped him fix his body again, and said: "Don't mention it, what kind of parallel goods are the ropes you took out before, and they broke before I tossed a few times, but fortunately, Lao Tzu was big and dragged a rope, so he picked up a life and came back to see you!" ”
The monkey complained to me about the quality of the rope at this time, and I had nothing to say, because these short ropes were originally spare goods that I bought from the second-hand market, and I didn't expect them to come in handy, but I didn't expect to use them this time, but in the final analysis, this accident has nothing to do with the quality of the rope, because the rope was cut by a sharp weapon! No matter how strong the rope is, it can't withstand it!
And what's even more strange is that there are six ropes anchored on the stone wall of the river bank here, judging from the texture of the rope and the expansion screws, it can only be the handiwork of our modern people, in other words, someone used these ropes to go to the lower reaches of the river, who would they be? Bearded? Donko? Xinyi? Team Cai?
When the monkey realized that it was these ropes anchored to the wall that saved his life, his reaction was the same as mine, and the first thing that came to mind was that someone in front of him had already gone down from here, but we can't deduce for the time being that the rope was left by the team, judging from these advanced equipment, it is very likely to be Xinyi's team, but it doesn't matter, as long as we know that we are not in the wrong place, and there is a way to move on!
"Lao Yang, this is called the road of endless people, you see that with these ropes, we can continue to go downstream of the river, and the people in front of us have done experiments for us, these ropes...... It's very sturdy! ”
The monkey seemed a little excited, and I was afraid that he would get carried away, so I reminded him: "Don't be too complacent, we don't know anything about the downstream of the river, and a few ropes alone may not be safe!" ”
The monkey listened to my words with a look of disdain: "I said that your temperament is too pessimistic, since we have a road in front of us, then we have to think better, not necessarily it must be some cliff and waterfall as you said, maybe after this bend it will be a shoal!" And if you look at the water temperature, I guess there's a good chance that there will be hot springs! ”
The monkey is more and more energetic, I didn't want to hit him again, but I really have an inexplicable unsteadiness in my heart, and I don't know if I am still worried about the rope being cut, the monkey just wants to quickly pull the rope and continue to hurry, where do you remember that I almost died before, let alone the rope!
I always felt that something was wrong, so I decided to ask the monkey about it.
I lifted the severed rope from my waist out of the river: "Don't be too excited, monkey, I want to ask you something!" ”
"What's the matter!" Before the monkey could react, he just answered me, still holding the rope from the wall in his hand.
"Look at this rope is not strange!" I handed the rope to him and added, "The break of the rope is so smooth, it doesn't look like it was broken due to strain or poor quality!" ”
When the monkey saw the rope, he stopped what he was doing, and at the same time fished up the rope in his waist from the river and compared it.
The monkey glanced at me: "Old Yang, this rope ...... It's amazing! ”
I nodded and asked him again, "Where's your dagger?" Did you accidentally cut the rope while struggling in the water? ”
"Impossible!" The monkey replied decisively: "My dagger was out of my hand when it slipped under my feet and plunged headlong into the water, and I could still feel the force in my waist at that moment, and the rope was not broken at that time!" ”
The monkey's answer made the feeling of unsteadiness in my heart stronger and stronger, if it wasn't for the rope that the monkey accidentally cut, how could the broken rope be so smooth and neat!
I thought about it for a long time, and I really didn't have a clue in my head, so I continued to ask the monkey: "Do you think about the situation carefully, did you feel anything unusual when you were in the water?" ”
The monkey became a little nervous at my question, and at last he stopped paying attention to the rope anchored to the wall, and focused all his attention on the broken rope at the moment.
"At that time, I didn't have the heart to pay attention to anything abnormal, the first thing I thought of after I plunged into the water was that there was a rope in my waist, so I didn't feel scared at that time, my consciousness was still relatively clear, and my first reaction was to quickly grab the rope and let my head out of the water!"
As the monkey recounted and recalled, I followed his train of thought and asked, "And then, when did you feel the rope break?" ”
"Just a few seconds after I struggled in the water! At that time, I suddenly felt the strength in my waist soften, and at the same time, my whole body was quickly washed down by the water, and I immediately panicked, I couldn't stand steadily, and the water was too deep, and I had no place to grab it. Then I caught a rope anchored to a stone wall! ”
Judging from the monkey's account, the rope did break suddenly at some point, but based on this recollection alone, it is really difficult to find anything unusual in it, could it be that there are some sharp stones in this river, and the rope was hanging on the stones at that time?
"Old Yang, what are you pondering? How did you say this rope was broken? ”
"I can't say, but I always think there's something strange here!"
The monkey had clearly sensed something in my words: "You mean ...... in the water"
"Don't speculate just yet!" I immediately interrupted the monkey: "There may be another article in this river, I plan to dive to the bottom of the river to see!" ”
As soon as the monkey heard that I was going to dive to the bottom of the river, he immediately stepped forward to stop him: "This will not work, in case the rope ...... It's broken again, you don't have the luck of mine to catch a lifeline! It's no joke! ”
"I'm not kidding you!" I glanced at the six ropes anchored to the stone wall and continued: "I'll tie three ropes around my waist later, these ropes are much stronger than the second-hand ones I bought, and even if something happens, it is impossible for all three ropes to break at the same time!" ”
The monkey seemed to feel justified when he heard me say this, and his expression relaxed slightly, but he was still very uneasy: "If you really want to go, tie all six ropes around your waist, and if you feel that one rope is broken, you must come up immediately!" ”
"I naturally know this, the purpose of my entry into the water is to know the reason why the rope will break, if we don't figure out the mystery in the water, how dare we continue to drag these ropes in the river!"
After paying attention, the monkey began to tie the ropes around my waist, and in a short time all six ropes were tied, and I could enter the water at any time!
