Chapter Forty-Six: The Narrative of the Stone Wall (I)

When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying on a wooden boat, and Ali was staring at me anxiously, smiling the moment I opened my eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I struggled to sit up, and as soon as I took a breath, my lungs burned like a burning pain, and I immediately coughed uncontrollably. Ah Li was busy patting me on the back until she coughed up another mouthful of bloody sewage.

I heard a shout behind me, turned my head to look, and saw more than a dozen large whirlpools with calibers ranging from 3.5 meters to 1 meter rolling up on the water seven or eight meters away, and there were more in the distance where the flashlight could not shine.

I couldn't help but be surprised, it turns out that this thing actually gives birth to so many like hatching eggs? We were just trapped by a small whirlpool with a diameter of about 1.5 meters on the very edge and couldn't get out, if we had just fought deeper with Liuzi and were trapped in the middle of the two big whirlpools, the consequences would definitely not be so lucky.

I suddenly felt a little afraid, cold sweat broke out, the lung tubes also burned, and coughed a few times, at this time, the afterglow swept the small whirlpool closest to us, in the center of the whirlpool, stretched by three safety ropes twisted into a giant rope, along the rope to look back, the third uncle, Achen, the witch, and three people were like a tug-of-war, pulling the rope in our direction.

Ali explained that it was the witch's idea, saying that the whirlpool was a common "whirlwind" phenomenon in underground waterways. Because there are many large and small karst caves under the rocks at the bottom of the river, which can communicate with the outside air, when the water vapor is uneven, this "whirling tide" will be generated.

Of course, this is a relatively easy-to-understand statement, but to explain it more complicatedly, the witch said that we can't understand it either, plus the situation was urgent at that time, and it was important to save people, so there was no time to be verbose.

Ah Li finally added: "This 'whirlwind tide' also has the effect of trapping nearby fish and making it easier for fishermen to catch fish. Anything that gets caught up in the whirlwind tide will immediately be trapped, so you can't go into the water to save people, you can only rely on external forces to pull people up. ”

I glanced at the third master and the others again and asked, "How many people have not been rescued now?" ”

Ah Li thought briefly and said, "There are probably two or three more, but at this time, they may have ......."

I suddenly wanted to ask how the sixth son was, after all, he was one of the eight errand runners mentioned in Lao Ge's letter, if something happened, then wouldn't the answer I was looking for forever be known?

But this person is very annoying, and he has humiliated and beaten Ah Li several times, taking into account Ah Li's feelings, it will definitely not work to ask openly. Thinking about it, I stood up, pretended to go over to help, and asked Ah Li to wait on the boat, and when I got off the boat, my eyes quietly swept around the other two wooden boats with my peripheral vision, and saw the six sons lying on the deck on all fours, and their chests were evenly lowered together, so I relieved my heart, and quickly trotted two steps to stand behind the rescue team, pulled up the safety rope and wrapped it around my arm a few times, and pulled back with the slogan shouted by everyone.

The process of saving people will not be detailed, only the result, three died. With me and Ali, there are only ten people left in this team now.

After this fierce battle, Ah Li and I seem to have naturally become people in the team of the third master, and I can't say anything about this, after all, the grace of saving lives is greater than the sky.

The third master and the witch muttered and discussed for a while, as if they were discussing the next step, but they didn't want us to know that there might be something related to the map, I thought.

After about ten minutes, the third master divided the people into three groups, the first group was Ah Chen, the witch, and a subordinate named Dali, got on the first boat, and took the lead; The second group is the third master, me, and a subordinate named Wang Meng, who got on the second boat; The third group is the six sons, Ah Li, and the other two subordinates of the witch, who get on the third boat and are in charge of the queen of the palace.

The witch said that the summer and autumn seasons are the peak of the whirling tides, with a four-hour break between the first and second outbreaks, and each outbreak is often between eight and ten minutes.

In other words, we must pass through this underground river within four hours, and once we are still in the river after the time, there is only a dead end.

Of course, if anyone can hold their breath for ten minutes while still being able to endure the vertigo of high-speed spinning and survive, I can only say that you have big lungs.

When I got on the boat, I couldn't help but think that the third master's deployment seemed to divide the three forces (Ah Li and I, the third master's sixth son, Ah Chen, the witch, and her men) evenly among the three boats, creating a false impression that all parties were evenly matched, suggesting that no one should want to eat anyone in one bite, and cause more trouble—in fact, it was not, we were all calculated by this old fox.

First of all, the members of his three groups were very cleverly distributed, and it happened that Achen and Liuzi became the best ones in each group. In this way, the seemingly evenly matched distribution is simply a trick, and the control of each ship is actually in the hands of the third master.

Secondly, he separated me from Ah Li to prevent us from colluding to escape halfway, in case I had any other thoughts, he didn't need to say more, and the six sons would immediately use Ah Li to contain me; On the other hand, if the third master wants me or Ah Li to do something for him, he only needs to restrain another person as a hostage, then that person will definitely obey his orders. That's the beauty of keeping us separated.

Finally, there is our military master, the Yellow Witch. Hercules Wang Meng They are all people brought by the Yellow Witch, and now the place has not been touched, more than half of the people are dead, the Yellow Witch must be uncomfortable in her heart, and she also learned from the side that this trip is dangerous, not more than usual, and if you do things in the future, you will definitely not do your best as before.

People are afraid of death, after experiencing the tragic death of so many companions, the Yellow Witch must think in her heart from seeking wealth to seeking life, otherwise, no matter how much money she makes, she will not be able to spend it.

The third master must have expected this, so he deliberately arranged her in the first boat and let her be a pioneer. In this way, she had to work harder, and the spirit of only eight or nine points before, now she will score twelve. Because of the slight difference, she is the one who takes the lead.

What a good one to kill three birds with one stone!

I can see through the true meaning behind the deployment of the third master, and Ah Li will definitely be able to see through it. As for the godly Yellow Witch, I don't know, unless she has half the shrewdness of Old Joe.

Gradually, we have sailed to deep water. The water seeping down from the cave above the head is constantly dripping on the skin, which is cool and cool, and it feels very bad.

Fortunately, the third master was well equipped, and a big wind lamp was placed on the bow of each boat, which illuminated the water hole very brightly. I noticed that as the boat arrived here, the color of the surrounding caves gradually began to change, the black ash gradually disappeared, and the stone walls began to return to their original brown color.

At this time, I saw that the wall on the left hand side seemed to have a picture carved into it.
