Chapter 23: Escape from the Waterway
Experiencing such a few horrific and strange things in the ancient tomb, I am more or less a bit of a believer, since this head is biting my back collar, it is really difficult to say that it is really asking me. Meng Jian took the head and put it on the ground, clasped his teeth with one hand, and took out a blood-red round jade from it, the edge was decorated with gilt, and the middle part of the jade was two small snakes biting each other's tails.
After the jade was finished, the ghost sent a god to bow to the head, maybe it was Meng Jian's last behavior that affected me, or maybe it was moved by the spirit of entrustment that the owner of the tomb had died, anyway, my heart was like overturning the five-flavor bottle, and I had all kinds of feelings.
Hu Yang walked over and reached out to take the tomb owner's head: "Dude has been holding back for a long time to see if this guy has three eyes, Junjun brought the bronze Ge, and I will clean up the bloody flesh on his face first." โ
Hearing this, I stopped his next move and looked at the head on the ground: "It is not right for us to break into someone else's tomb in the first place, no matter what he has done, it is already a history in the past, and the sins we suffered are our own findings." Whether he's three-eyed or not, I think at least I should give others some respect. โ
Seeing Hu Yang's surprised expression, I put my arm around his shoulder: "We have taken everything we should take, don't worry about some things, at least I survived." โ
With that, I beckoned the others to get out of here. Meng Jian smiled at me kindly, walked to the front and inadvertently gave me a thumbs up.
After walking for a few minutes, the frequency of the mountain shaking became faster and faster, and the speed of collapse was much faster than we thought, and it was impossible to get out if we just walked by foot.
Meng Jian said: "Let's go down the river and rush down the river, and then find a chance to go out." โ
Hu Yang and Yang Junjun didn't have any opinions, my face turned red and said, "I'm not very good at swimming." โ
It will be Hu Yang's turn to gloat and say, "Now is a chance to exercise, bamboo, it's time for you to express your appearance." โ
"I don't have time for you to practice swimming, speed down the river! Bamboo, you follow me! โ
Meng Jian, who was in danger, said that it was wind or rain, kicked me into the river with one kick, ate saliva in his mouth, and saw that he had swam three meters away, cursed secretly, and followed closely behind. Although I was a little afraid that there would be a human-faced fish in the water, but then I thought about it, such a large volume of this underground river should not be able to raise a second one, plus it is fighting with the big insect underwater, so there should be no time to find trouble.
Sure enough, the speed of swimming along the water was indeed much faster than the footsteps, but I realized that the water seemed to be a little turbulent, and hurriedly shouted: "Meng Ge, what is the situation ahead, why is the water becoming urgent?" โ
Suddenly, there was a big splash of water around me, and a black shadow came out, and I was scared to eat several mouthfuls of river water, only to see that the shadow that came out was Meng Jian, and I couldn't help shouting at him: "He's big, people are scared to death." โ
Meng Jian wiped away the water on his face, didn't care about the joke he made just now, and moved his mouth to the front: "There is no need to dive ahead, I came to inform you, I didn't expect to be so timid after walking around the ancient tomb." โ
As soon as I heard that I was going to dive, my whole face turned green, and Hu Yang and Yang Junjun also looked at me with a smile. But fortunately, Meng Jian tied a strip of cloth between me and him, and then his head sank into the water, and I said to both of them, "Laugh at it, and carry it well, so that it will not be washed away by the water!" โ
Hu Yang and the others patted the treasure box tightly tied around their waists with their hands: "The serpentine jade and the portrait are stuffed in, and they are guaranteed not to fall." โ
"The picture scroll is also stuffed in? You're not afraid of crowding, aren't you? โ
Hu Yang looked at me like a second fool and said, "That thing is skin, and it can't be squeezed!" โ
After speaking, he took a breath with Yang Junjun and his head sank down. I was also tightly held around my waist, and as the river became more and more turbulent, I saw that there was no way to go at the end, and the river entered a circular stone cave. It seemed that there was really no way, so I took a sharp breath and plunged into the water.
The cold chill hit my head instantly, and although it was uncomfortable to hold my breath and squint in the water, at least I could see the legs in front of me swaying there, about a minute and a half, I really couldn't hold it back, my hands and feet were weak to move forward, if it wasn't for the strip of cloth around my waist to pull me from time to time, maybe I would have fallen behind at this time and drowned in this dark underwater.
Suddenly, the strip of cloth around my waist was loosened, and I panicked to pull it, but I only got half of the strip of cloth, and touched it with my hand as if it had been cut by someone. I endured the discomfort of lack of oxygen in my lungs and heart, and strove forward.
But there didn't seem to be any of them, and the panic made me feel helpless, and gradually my consciousness began to blur, and the river poured into my nostrils and mouth, my head went blank, and my body became light and fluttering in the water, as if my soul was about to go out of my body.
Just when I thought I was really going to die, the strip of cloth suddenly tightened around my waist, and a huge force came from the other end, and I felt like I was passing through a narrow gap and entering another... In the other water, but it was bright, and then I felt out of the water, and someone was pressing hard against my abdomen, and then I saw a mouth with a stubble approaching me.
A spirit, I immediately jumped up, towards the owner who saw the mouth clearly is Hu Yang, looked at the surrounding green trees, a clear river, looking at the wolf Bรจi but the eyes were full of surprise, I jumped up excitedly, ran over to hug them.
It's not easy to survive, my buddy almost died heroically. Looking at the excitement of everyone's aftermath, I quietly suppressed the suspicion in my heart for the time being, because I didn't know who cut my cloth at the last moment, this was to kill me.
Meng Jian's knife didn't know where to throw it, and he gasped and said, "Fortunately, there is a gap under this river that connects to the underground river, otherwise we would all die in it." โ
Hu Yang and Yang Junjun sat cross-legged and smiled wolf-heartedly: "Bamboo, how does it feel to come back from the dead?" โ
If my shoes were still there, I would have liked to whip him with a shoehorn, glaring at him and saying, "Except for your disgusting mouth, everything else is fine, I just experienced what it feels like to leave my soul out of my body." โ
After saying that, I quietly glanced at the expressions of each of them, but I couldn't see anything at all, could it be that it was not them who cut the strip of cloth, but someone else? Suddenly, I thought about the note in my pants bag when it came.
Dangerous! Watch your back.
Could it be that the person who stuffed the note with me had foreseen what was going to happen? Thinking that there is always a pair of eyes staring at me behind me, I can't help but feel a chill.
After just sitting down and resting for half an hour, there was a sudden rumbling sound from a mountain peak far away from us, the mountain crackled and broke, and a crack visible to the naked eye hung horizontally on the mountainside, followed by a slope and landslide, a large number of mountain walls collapsed, and the huge destructive force, even if we were standing in a relatively safe position, we could feel the terrifying pressure.
We looked at the broken mountain peak with palpitations, and we were glad that we walked from the underground river, otherwise we would really be buried underneath and become a piece of history.
After washing the appearance, Meng Jian went into the forest to hunt a few wild meats and came back, we set up a bonfire to eat it, and the smell of the meat was like having never eaten it in several lifetimes.
Finally embarked on the route back, and finally I took a look at the mountain peak that had collapsed, and every qiฤ in the tomb should have been buried in this mountain collapse, those weird and outrageous things will never be known again, those mutant worms and dragon worms don't know if they are dead, if these things run outside, the consequences are really unimaginable.
Hu Yang and I took off our tattered coats, wrapped the treasure box and gilded jade, and clipped them under our armpits. When the three of us came, we were full of confidence, and when we went back, we were silent, and this trip also made us see our own self-determination.
After identifying the direction and walking for most of the day, Yang Junjun screamed excitedly and ran over quickly, Hu Yang was afraid that she would make a mistake, so he made an apologetic expression to us, and chased after him.
Just as he wanted to call Meng Jian to go back with him, he stopped and said to me, "Let's separate here." โ
He smiled at me, turned and walked towards the woods, and I hurriedly called out to him: "You write down my mobile phone number, and call me if you need help!" โ
After hearing my number, he waved his hand and disappeared into the woods.
