Chapter 17: The Danger of the Serpent
I sat down on the stone and rested for ten minutes, ate two loaves of bread, drank a packet of milk, and regained most of my strength. It's just that after soaking in the water for so long in such a cold season, I was cold, and I was almost "cold".
The rainstorm in the sky was still falling, crackling on the umbrella, I looked at the small holes on the river surface that were clicked out by the rain, and grinned bitterly: "Hey, are you cold?" Let's figure out how to make a campfire, shall we? I see that the river has been filled, and it is estimated that it will not rise wildly in a short time, so let's wait here for the news of the seventh master. ”
I took out my phone as I spoke, this time, the Nokia's upgraded plate bricks have been blistered and it is estimated that it will take 24 hours to open it.
Liang Ruoyi responded: "I'm looking for it, otherwise I'll get you over first, so that you won't become a kimchi for a while!" ”
I glanced at the rushing river and shook my head slightly: "Wait a minute, wait until I have recovered some strength." ”
Actually, I was really scared, I never thought that the river would be so terrifying, and the time I spent soaking in the river just now is unforgettable for my life.
I glanced at my watch, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Looking at the current water level, the Seventh Master should still be soaked in the water, and it would be good if they found another piece of high ground, but they were afraid that they would be reluctant to give up if they were pulled by a stone.
Those huge carps never appeared again, and I joked: "Hey, beauty, I really want to taste the taste of that big carp, I guess it is pure natural and pollution-free, the meat is tender and delicious, and it can be added to a luxurious lunch!" ”
Liang Ruoyi took a sip at me: "Forget it, I can't find anything to make a fire, I'll change my clothes first, and if you have it, you'd better change it too, otherwise the temperature of about ten degrees will make you die of cold!" ”
Yes, without a campfire, how can I live this day! I flipped through my backpack, fortunately I always had a few changes of clothes in it, especially the close-fitting ones, and hurriedly took them out, anyway, Liang Ruoyi couldn't see it, holding an umbrella and shivering to take off the soaked underwear on my body and change into clean ones, which made me feel a lot warmer.
"Hey, beauty, what's next? You don't want to spend the night here, do you? I asked, rubbing my hands together to keep warm.
Liang Ruoyi seemed to have finished changing her clothes, and poked her head out to look at me: "If your physical strength has dropped so much, it's okay to spend the night here." But we don't have much time, Mr. Liang means, only when it rains, can we find the hanging coffin. ”
"Is it so mysterious?" I said dismissively, "Is he right about anything?" I think Yuwentai would have found this kind of place to build tombs in that era? ”
"At least it's more accurate than you!" Liang Ruoyi gave me a blank look: "Okay, you should be lower over there, it's almost time to rest, I'll get you over, the two of us, maybe there is a way to climb up!" ”
I looked at the water surface and was less than half a meter high from the boulder under my buttocks, and if the water level suddenly rose, I might not have time to climb to Liang Ruoyi's side, so I could only nod, pack up my things, put on a raincoat, and hold the rope that Liang Ruoyi tied around my waist: "How do I get there?" ”
"Pick up the stones on the mountain wall!" Liang Ruoyi pointed to the mountain wall: "After climbing over, I'll pull you up!" ”
Liang Ruoyi was on a high ground, nearly two meters above the water, so I had to swim below first and then let her pull me up.
I nodded, "Okay!" ”
With that, I pulled Liang Ruoyi's rope tight, and cautiously walked into the river, and soon there was no place under my feet, and I slowly swam towards the high ground by holding the potholes in the mountain wall with both hands.
Because I had rested for a long time before, my physical strength was almost recovered at this time, and Liang Ruoyi pulled me, so it was much easier to swim. Soon, I came to the bottom of the high ground and looked up at the height of almost two meters: "Hey, how are you going to get up here?" ”
"You wait a minute!" Liang Ruoyi said and walked to the side: "I'll tie the rope to the crooked neck tree here, and then you climb up, and I'll pull you up when I reach it!" ”
"Okay!" I wiped a handful of rain from my face, and when Liang Ruoyi was ready to greet me, he grabbed the rope and climbed up the mountain wall with both feet.
It's just that it's far from as simple as I imagined, because the whole mountain wall is very slippery, and this rope is not easy to grasp, so I can't find the point of focus.
"Hey, I'll ...... later"
Liang Ruoyi lay on top and stretched out her hand to wait for me to pull me up, but suddenly whispered to me to steady and not move.
I was stunned and looked up at her: "What's wrong?" The stone is not strong? ”
"No, it's not!" Because the sky was dark and the rain was pouring down, Liang Ruoyi, who was carrying the sky with his back, couldn't see what his expression was at all.
"What's wrong?" I looked at her puzzled.
"Hurry up! Quick, come up! Liang Ruoyi's tone suddenly changed, and she stretched out her hand to beckon me to hurry up.
I was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that there was something in the water below me, and I thought to myself, is it the big fish? Thinking about it, I subconsciously looked down, and saw a long gray shadow under the water less than two feet away from me, with the thickness of the bowl mouth, swimming in the water in an "S" shape.
Snake?! What the is this fish!
I was startled, and in a panic I hurried to climb up, but the more I scrambled, the more to no avail, and the slippery mountain wall not only did not allow me to go any further, but slid down a little.
"No way!" I turned my head to look at the boulder almost a foot away: "You swing me back, it's too dangerous!" ”
"Swing back?!" Liang Ruoyi looked at me with wide eyes: "Are you kidding?" At a distance of almost three meters, how hard do I have to swing you over? Besides, with your current physical strength, do you think you can jump over?! ”
"Why can't you?!" Although I belong to the snake, it doesn't mean that the snake doesn't bite me, seeing this big snake swimming under me, I was so scared that I lost my soul for a long time: "Is it possible to hang here and wait for death?!" ”
Liang Ruoyi didn't expect me to be so excited, and I was stunned for a few seconds and understood: I am just an ordinary person, I was a recent graduate half a year ago, and it is good not to be scared and cry in the face of this situation!
"You have to know that if you let me swing you over, there is almost an eighty percent chance that you will fall directly into the water, and it will be difficult for me to save you by then!" Liang Ruoyi said as fast as he could: "Now you climb up, it's much safer than if you have to swing over!" ”
"I can't climb up!" I looked down and saw that the big snake was already coiled in the water below me, and I could even see the palm-sized head of the snake looking up at me, as if it was calculating the height of the rush.
Liang Ruoyi saw that he couldn't move me, so he took out a short blade and held it in his hand: "Okay, I'll swing you over, you have to grasp it, wait for the best opportunity to pass!" ”
I nodded impatiently, and Liang Ruoyi sighed, grabbed the rope and began to sway from side to side vigorously.
But when I moved, the big snake below seemed to feel the attack, and began to quickly drag under the water, and when I just swung back to the middle, I heard a "poof" sound, a splash appeared under my body, and the gray light flashed in front of me, I hurriedly dodged sideways, and one hand instantly released the rope, dodging the silver light, and hit the mountain wall with a "bang"!
This collision made my eyes look like gold stars, and I couldn't help but regret why I didn't try my best to climb up just now.
"Hey! Are you okay?! ”
Liang Ruoyi asked above, I shook my head and said it was okay, and grabbed the rope with both hands to stabilize myself: "It's okay, hurry up, swing me over!" ”
Liang Ruoyi answered, the rope shook again, just when I was about to try to jump over, the water below me broke a splash again, the big snake actually jumped up, I felt a gray whip swept in front of me, before I could react, my hand suddenly unloaded the force, my body sank down, and I was about to fall into the water!
"Ahh
I screamed, but my body stopped at the moment I was about to enter the water!
When I looked up, I saw that the rope had been cut, and Liang Ruoyi reached out and grabbed the broken rope and pulled me with all his might......
"Whew-whew-" I was so frightened that I couldn't speak, leaning against the stone wall and watching the big snake under the water, snorting and panting!
"You throw me the other end of your rope, quick!" Liang Ruoyi said in a hurried voice.
I knew I couldn't waste a second at this point, so I hurriedly grabbed the other end of my rope with one free hand and threw it at it!
Liang Ruoyi stretched out his right hand to catch the rope out of thin air, and at the last moment, with a "poof", the big snake rushed out and slashed directly towards Liang Ruoyi!
"Ahh
