Our speed slowed down, and the sound of the stream became more and more violent, which made me realize that this was not a stream at all, but the sound of flowing water similar to a reservoir, and I walked not far again, Xu Lingling in front of me did not continue to move forward, but circled around a few rows of trees, and just when I was surprised, she stopped at the edge of a big tree.

"Your name is Su Wu, right?" From the angle of Xu Lingling's voice, she should have sat down.

"Yes, that's right." I replied that it was not strange that she knew my name, but why she brought me to this place, which made me very puzzled, this place is very close to the edge of the reservoir, the sound of running water is loud, and the damp cold wind blows directly, she must have thrown the hadrons into the reservoir, right?! Thinking of this, I hurriedly said, "What about my friends?" ”

"I didn't say I'd bring you to meet them, did I?" Xu Lingling said seriously.

I really want to spit out the old blood, so what are we doing after walking in the dark for so long in the middle of the night? At this point, I had no choice but to ask patiently, "Xu Lingling, what did you bring me here for?" ”

"Don't you want to talk to me? Sit down, I like the environment here, there are mountains and water, although there is the noise of running water, but it does not affect people to calm their minds. Her tone was very calm, giving people a very quiet feeling, which made my anxious heart relax for the time being.

"Okay, then let's talk," I also sat down in the haystack, a little wet under my buttocks, and I couldn't take care of the heavy humidity, I thought about it for a while, and said: "Xu Lingling, can you tell me directly, where are my friends now?" Are they all okay? ”

"You're still around your friends, well, they're a very muscular man, and a man about your size, and a bald head, and that adds up to three men, right?"

She said bobcats, poisonous snakes, and hadron respectively, yes, I nodded vigorously, only to know that she couldn't see, I said excitedly: "Yes, it's them, what did you do to them?" ”

"I can tell you, but I also have a request, you have to do something for me first."

I didn't even think about it, and said decisively: "Okay! ”

"Don't be in a hurry to agree, what I want you to do is not much different from asking for your life." Xu Lingling's became a little heavy.

"Don't talk nonsense, you can say it, no matter how dangerous it is, I, Su Wu, will do it!" I said categorically, in fact, I know in my heart that things are not so simple, but as long as there is a turnaround, I am duty-bound.

Xu Lingling also said directly: "In the center of the front is a lake-like area, where the upstream streams will collect, and then the water flowing out of the lake will pour down through the naturally formed embankment, forming a waterfall, which is nearly ten meters high. And what I want you to do is go to the bottom of this lake and help me fish something out. ”

I took a deep breath, it turned out that it was not a reservoir, but a naturally formed waterfall, with turbulent living water, accidentally swept away by the flowing water, falling from a ten-meter-high waterfall, it was really difficult to survive, even if you don't fall to death, you are likely to be drowned, isn't this a fate, not to mention diving, I can swim but jump into the lake in my current state, isn't this the same as suicide! Her request was a bit unreasonable.

I didn't rush to refuse, but calmed down and asked, "How big is this lake?" How deep is it? ”

"The whole area?" She paused and replied, "It's big." ”

I sighed, it was quite big, the answer was really vague enough, and I said, "I'd better see for myself, can you help me find some dry wood and raise the fire, so it's not a way to get dark." ”

"Well, you don't have to look for it, I have a torch, just light it." Xu Lingling said and groped around the big tree for a while.

"What about my hands?" I twisted my bound hands.

"Didn't you bring matches?"

As soon as she could say this, I took out the matchbox and lit a match, and the little light of the fire lit up all around us, and I saw that she was really holding a torch in her hand, very simple, just a wooden stick, and then a large lump of cotton cloth and something like that were wrapped around her head, and it seemed that she had been prepared.

I turned the flame around and broke the rope that bound my hands, tossed it aside, moved my wrist, and nodded to her, "Give it to me." ”

Reached out and grabbed Xu Lingling and handed me the torch, and she suddenly retracted her hand after seeing me catch it, the movement was very sudden and fast, almost startling me, but her hand was also wrapped in black yarn, and she couldn't see it clearly, she was still on guard against me as always.

I didn't care, I took the torch in my hand and weighed it, it was some weight of dry wood, but there were some traces of dew on the wood, I was afraid that it was put for a long time, caused by moisture, I shook my head, can this be ignited? Then I threw away the burnt matchstick, lit one again, and burned it where the top of the wood was wrapped in cotton cloth.

"Xu Lingling, your torch head is like it has been soaked in water, it is full of water stains, and it may not be used." I said and leaned close to the torch head and smelled it, there was a slight smell of gasoline but it was already very light, gasoline can still be found in this place, this thing is not commonly used, I can't help but think of the Liu couple who were burned to death, Xu Lingling probably burned them with gasoline, this is a clue that coincides.

"I haven't soaked in water here, so I think it can be used, right? Why don't I take a look? Xu Lingling wasn't sure.

"I'll try again." I took off my coat, tore one sleeve apart vigorously, tore off a large strip of cloth, and then bolted it to the torch head, and then lit it, and the sleeve was soon on fire, with a few "pop" sounds, and a few bursts of smoke from water vapor, and the moisture was burned away, so that the torch head was successfully ignited, the fire was not too big, but it was much stronger than a candle or something, and it was quite stable, I estimate that there is no big problem with burning for more than 20 minutes.

"That's it, I'll go take a look." I raised my torch and walked towards the edge of the lake, Xu Lingling slowly following behind me.

Walk more than ten meters to the lake, here is a straight slope, more than half a meter away from the water surface, take a look, the fire can not see the whole picture of the lake at all, estimate and hundreds of square meters of range, if something sinks to the bottom of the lake, even if there is a professional boat equipment salvage team to work, it is not a day or two can do.
