Chapter 25 A Visit to Chenghai Lake
The fierce sunlight hit my face, and the verdant mountains stood in front of me like giants. www.biquge.info I grabbed a large rock at the mouth of the cave to fix my body, and looked at the beauty in front of me with a bit of majesty.
Wang Zhen behind him was blocked by me and couldn't see anything, he was both impatient and flustered, and patted my calf anxiously and said, "What's wrong?" ”
We came back to our senses, and with a flash of sound we pulled him forward. Wang Zhen was so shaken by the sun that he couldn't open his eyes, and he put his hand on the pergola in front of him and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful...... There is a poem that says, the lake and the mountains are suitable? ”
I nodded and said, "Liu Yuxi's Wangdongting." ”
Wang Zhen looked at the fish and shrimp that could be grabbed by reaching out and jumping out of the water from time to time, smacking his lips and saying: "These fish are pure and pollution-free, and they must be particularly fatty when grilled." ”
When he said that, my stomach screamed as if in response. I kept running around in impatience and pain all the way, and I hardly had the leisure to take care of my feelings, and now I felt that my whole stomach was pressed together, and it was empty and panicked. I swallowed and turned my head, "Let's go back and tell them about the situation here." ”
When I went back, it was much smoother than when I came, and it didn't take long to see Zhang Siyuan and Wang Linshuo's eager expressions again. The two of them clung to the rock walls on either side and kept looking inside. Wang Zhen whistled and waved at them.
I said, "Don't be handsome, it's too dark in here, they can't see anything." ”
Before my words fell, I heard Zhang Siyuan shouting not far away: "Although I can't see it, I can hear it!" You two eggs, why did you go for so long, you almost died in a hurry. ”
I grabbed Wang Linshuo's hand and climbed ashore drenched. I wiped the water on my body and said eagerly: "At the end of the cave is Chenghai Lake. Do you remember the wounded parrot saying that I was at the bottom of Chenghai Lake? ”
Wang Linshuo nodded and said, "Remember is remember, but we can't sneak in so recklessly." Because we don't have any equipment, and we don't know what it's like down there. Are you really sure that this sentence was taught by Uncle Lu? There is another very important thing, Li Qingling's time is running out. If we can't find Li Xikan in five hours......"
I spread my hands and said, "Big guy, don't you think your words are a bit of a loophole?" Even if we find Li Xikan, everything is blind when Li Qingling is not there! ”
Wang Linshuo obviously didn't realize the flaw in his words, he was momentarily speechless by my question, stared dryly for a long time, and finally sneered: "You are quite powerful." ”
I was proud, patted Wang Linshuo's shoulder and said, "Old Wang, I want to point out a problem for you." Sometimes you are too cautious in doing things, and you seem to be a little timid and hesitant. ”
Wang Linshuo's face was as usual when he heard this, but he just shook his head and said: "The character is like this, sometimes it's not that I want to do this, it's just habit or greed for life and fear of death." ”
I patted him soothingly, not wanting to make the atmosphere heavy, and changed the subject: "Are you hungry?" ”
Wang Linshuo was stunned for a moment, touched his stomach and said, "It's really a bit like you say that." ”
I said, "I'm almost done, we can swim along the cave all the way to the lake to find some fish and shrimp to eat." ”
Wang Linshuo nodded, I stood up with him to warm up, called Zhang Siyuan and Wang Zhen, who were in a daze, and walked along the cave together. Although I saw the landscape like an ink painting again, I couldn't help but be touched. Wang Linshuo and Zhang Siyuan both opened their mouths slightly, looking dumbfounded. Wang Zhen and I looked at each other and smiled, and I was thinking about saying something to squeeze them for a while, when I heard a pop not far away, and water splashed on my face.
Not far on the right-hand side, there were ripples in circles, and fish of all sizes fled. Zhang Siyuan was puzzled: "What happened?" ”
I shook my head, only to see a black figure speeding under the water like an arrow. My face turned white with astonishment, and I exclaimed, "Water monster! ”
The black figure paused slightly, then swam forward at a faster pace. This figure is curvy and looks like a young girl...... I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard Zhang Siyuan shout three words and rushed out quickly. These three words were like a mantra that made an unusually bright light suddenly light up in my brain, illuminating all the chaos. My blood was surging, although I couldn't understand how Li Qingling could appear here, but my body's reaction was faster than my brain, and I chased after me as if I had suddenly pressed a switch.
Li Qingling swam even faster when she heard our shouts, and she shuttled through the water like a swordfish, so fast that it was almost impossible to see her. Zhang Siyuan only had an advantage when running on land, and although he used all his strength in the water, he was still a big step behind Li Qingling. Wang Zhen was always a few centimeters away from Li Qingling, and he reached out from time to time to grab Li Qingling's ankle, but none of them hit. I only had that black figure in my eyes, paddling with all my might, but even Wang Zhen couldn't catch up.
Seeing that he was about to catch her, Li Qingling suddenly turned around and plunged straight underwater. Wang Zhen's eyes were red, and he was about to stab down, but he was caught by Zhang Siyuan, who caught up.
Wang Zhen suddenly surfaced, panting fiercely and said, "Why are you stopping me?" ”
Zhang Siyuan's face turned pale, and his eyes flickered: "I ...... just now I caught a glimpse of a huge black shadow underwater, and the four of us together were no bigger than half of its bodies. ”
Wang Zhen raised his head violently and shook me in the face. I saw that his expression was extremely panicked, and when I followed his line of sight, the blood in his whole body froze all at once.
Hidden under the water we had just stayed in was a black behemoth, its body gently swaying with the undulations of the waves, and the black-gray spots on its body were unusually eye-catching. The chill crept up my tail vertebrae, and I could barely speak, turning and rushing in the opposite direction.
After struggling to reach a relatively safe place, the four of us clinged to the shore, just panting for air. I plucked up the courage to look into the water, the black behemoth was still lying quietly in the water, and Li Qingling disappeared without a trace. Wang Zhen complained breathlessly: "If you don't stop me, maybe we would have asked a few words from her mouth by now." Ugh—"
Zhang Siyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Her life is important? ”
Wang Zhen sighed: "But we don't even know where to go now-cough, forget it, we still can't get rid of the problem of impatience." ”
I looked out to the shore, and the earthy yellow layers of rock walls were so close to me that I could reach them. There are some ordinary flowers and plants growing on the shore, and there is nothing threatening or filling the stomach as far as the eye can see.
The flames of hunger burned in my heart, and I guessed that my eyes must be glowing green like wolves by now. There were thousands of fish and shrimp in the lake, but these stupid things only moved in the waters near the huge black monster, and I couldn't see a single small fish around me. I was so angry that I just wanted to scold, and I even felt the urge to grab a handful of dirt and stuff it in my mouth. My stomach was almost shrinking together, and I said to them with a bitter face, "I'll give you two choices, one is to take the risk and catch a few fish to eat, and the other is which of you will give me a piece of meat to eat." ”
Wang Zhen raised his hand without hesitation and said, "I choose the first one." ”
Zhang Siyuan looked at the water area with fear, and after a long while, he hesitated: "I really don't want to talk about your meat. Why don't you take the plunge? ”
I turned to Wang Linshuo and was about to open my mouth to persuade him, but I heard him say, "Then let's go now." ”
I looked at him in amazement. Wang Linshuo was a little embarrassed by the eyes of the three of us, and hurriedly explained: "Now we have two ways to die, being starved to death or being killed by monsters. The first way to die was so painful that I'd rather take a risk. ”
Zhang Siyuan smiled: "Very good, you can try natural sashimi." ”
