Chapter 300: The Wooden Coffin Enters the Fog for the Ship
Listening to Xia Qing's words, the fat man shook his head in surprise and said, "It's really yours, Xia Qing, you can think of this, your imagination is too rich." ”
Gao Chao sighed and said: "If it is really like what you said, then this may be the so-called karma, it is precisely because someone saved the person in the coffin a long time ago that this wooden coffin can be preserved, after thousands of years of reincarnation, now it will save people again, things in the world, it is really interesting." ”
Gao Chao was a little emotional, when he said these words, Aseti was looking at him all the time, as if he could understand what he said better than anyone else, what was he thinking? Is it that for him, this is a reincarnation.
After a lot of effort, they finally moved out the big stone in the wooden coffin, this wooden coffin is worthy of being made of green leaf nanmu, after Xia Qing's careful inspection, this wooden coffin is almost intact, the interface is tightly closed, and the wood is still tough.
Put this wooden coffin in the water, it can even float on the water, the size of the wooden coffin is not small, so that four people sit in it, even if they carry a few large bags together, it does not look so crowded.
In this way, the four of them rode in this wooden coffin, slowly left the river bank, and drifted towards the depths of this tunnel.
The fat man sat at the back, Gao Chao sat at the front, and in the middle were Aiseti and Xia Qing, all four of them were paddling with their hands, so it was not difficult to use the paddling method to control the direction of travel of the wooden coffin.
In this karst cave tunnel, there is only one waterway, and the waterway becomes winding forward, and there are constantly bends, even if it is described as "nine bends and eighteen bends", it is by no means an exaggeration.
In the depths of the cave, the river channel has become a lot narrower, and the river water is naturally a little deeper. However, when I looked down with my headlamp, I found that the water was still very clear, although the water was at least three or four people deep, but it was not a problem to see some pebbles at the bottom of the river.
Gao Chao was always alert, and he paddled with his left hand. His right hand was still on the gun, and he had always been a little afraid of the four or five meter-long earthworms, and if he encountered that kind of thing here, Gao Chao knew that it would be very fatal.
Xia Qing sat behind Gao Chao, she was also a little nervous, she had been looking into the water with her headlamp, as long as there were some shadows under the water, she would pay special attention.
Behind her was Acety. But he still maintained his unique state, among the four people, only his face would occasionally show a slight smile, along the way, he would almost always tell a joke from time to time, although no one seemed to listen at all, but he enjoyed it. Fortunately, the others had somewhat adapted to his habit, so no one was upset about it.
The fat man sat at the back. At first, he was almost the most nervous person, but it didn't take long for him to relax, just because he was sitting in the back of the coffin, not knowing when to start. He had already closed his eyes and was napping, and even his snoring was already sounding like nothing.
Gao Chao was attracted by the fat man's snoring, and couldn't help but look back, he smiled helplessly and shook his head, he knew that maybe the fat man was too tired.
This long trek on the plateau. For anyone, it is an extreme challenge, whether fat or superb, it is almost impossible to enter the depths of this Pamir Plateau without shedding the skin on your body.
Gao Chao no longer bothered with the fat man, and decided to let him rest first, and then he continued to shine forward with his headlamp, wanting to see how far ahead he was.
More than three hours have passed since they started to drift on the wooden coffin, and this time seems to be invisibly stretched out in the cave, making people feel like they are living like a year.
According to Aceti's prediction, they were already in the middle of the tunnel, and in three or four hours, they should be able to get out of here.
Listening to Aseti's words, Gao Chao and Xia Qing also relaxed slightly, although the first three hours seemed very long, but after all, before they knew it, they had already completed more than half of the trip, but there were no accidents, it seemed that the other half of the journey should not have any trouble.
So Gao Chao suddenly felt that he was also a little tired, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight, he almost couldn't control himself, and he might fall asleep at any time.
In a daze, he suddenly felt that he was being slapped on the back, which made him shudder, and quickly looked back.
It was Xia Qing, she was looking at Gao Chao, but Gao Chao noticed that Xia Qing's face seemed to be a little wrong.
Before Gao Chao could ask, Xia Qing had already looked at the front of the tunnel and whispered, "Old Gao, look at ......."
Gao Chao hurriedly turned his head again, but he was also stunned.
Just in front of this river, the light from the two headlamps has turned into two pillars of light, just because somehow the front is foggy.
The fog was thick, a little chilling, and it looked like a wall that cut the river in two.
Essetti was also looking at the thick mist, and the smile he had a little relaxed before was long gone, replaced by a frowning brow.
Xia Qing shook his head, as if he was puzzled, and said, "No, there shouldn't be fog in this kind of cave, unless the river is hot, how can there be fog?" ”
Listening to Xia Qing's words, Gao Chao put his hand into the water, then shook his head, and said, "The water is still like that, cold and cold." ”
"The water here is formed by melting glaciers, and it's very cold, it can't be hot. ”
Xia Qing looked at Aisetti, looking a little nervous, and said, "That's strange, such a thick fog, I'm afraid there are some problems......"
Essetti didn't say anything more, just frowned and looked ahead.
The fog was already very close, and in the direction of the current, they were already close to the fog.
Gao Chao couldn't help but wave his arms, he stretched his hand into the mist in advance, but quickly retracted it again.
"It's so cold!" Gao Chao shuddered and said, "How can it be so cold in this fog?" ”
Before Gao Chao's words fell, the wooden coffin they were riding in had already driven into the thick fog.
It was really cold, and all three of them, except for the fat man who was still sleeping, couldn't help but shiver at the same time.
This kind of coldness is so penetrating that no one has ever experienced it before, it seems to be pervasive, as if the air in this fog is also condensed by it.
Xia Qing tightened his neckline and said, "This is a bit unreasonable, how can there be fog at such a low temperature?" The formation of fog is the liquefaction of water vapor, which is exothermic, and it should be warmer. ”
Aseti also said, "Allah willing, I have never seen such a thick fog, where does the fog come from in the Pamirs?" (To be continued.) )
