Volume 2 Xia He Chapter 55 Tiankeng (1)
At this moment, we were all amazed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This outlet is connected to the outside, and it turns out to be an outlet! This is something we could never have imagined in any way.
The toad screamed into the depths, and without thinking about it, he rolled over and jumped down the riverbed, and chased after it, and the exclamations of Uncle Liang behind him were faint and faint in the rumbling sound, and I could not hear them at all.
The mouth of the dark river outlet was slightly higher than mine, slightly curved in an arc, and the riverbed was slippery and difficult to walk downward, and I held the rock wall in one hand and the pig-killing knife in the other, carefully and laboriously all the way forward.
The light was getting brighter and brighter, and I saw something not far ahead? The round opening, the light spreads in, through the hole, I can see the green in the distance.
The toad had jumped out of the hole, its cry coming from outside the hole, and I quickened my pace, staggering forward.
When I came out, I got out of the hole, and I couldn't help but suffocate in my chest, my heart shook dramatically, and the scene in front of me was like a dream.
The place where I stood was a platform more than two feet wide, and at the foot was a cliff about two feet high, and under the cliff there was a blue pool of about half an acre, except for this side was a stone wall, and the other three sides of the deep pool were connected to a large piece of land, and the area was about several times that of the deep pool. The flat ground is lush and lush, with flowers blooming in the meantime, and the breeze is gentle and fragrant, which is clearly a thriving spring beauty.
Jumping from the bleak winter to the bustling spring, this illusion that can only appear in a dream is really presented in front of my eyes at this time.
I looked around, and there was a huge circular crater, surrounded on all sides by steep rock walls, and there were turquoise trees growing everywhere, and from where I stood, the rock walls were tens of thousands of feet high, and I could only see a small gray and white sky.
Sit in a well and watch the sky. This idiom popped into my head. Yes, that's it, at this moment, the hole is like a huge deep well, and I am the little frog watching the sky.
I was in a daze, and suddenly felt movement behind me, and when I looked back, it was Uncle Liang and their eyes. I stepped aside, and Uncle Liang and the others came out of the hole, just like me, and froze with a cry of surprise.
With a familiar roar, an even more amazing scene appeared, a figure appeared by the waterhole at the bottom of the pit opposite, who was not picking up?
He looked up and saw the searchers, and shouted happily: "Master, senior brother, come down quickly!" “
Hearing his cry, I realized that before? The rumbling sound disappeared at some point.
Uncle Liang had come back to his senses at this time, and he shouted anxiously, "Why did you run here?" Come up and come home with us. ”
Pickup said: "Master come down, pick up Lai can't go up." ”
At this moment, another figure appeared on the opposite side, he stood beside Pickup, raised his head and smiled: "Secretary Liu, Fan Liang, don't come to harm!" ”
"Yang Shangbin!"
"Master Yang!"
The three of us exclaimed in unison!
"It's hard for you to remember me, a dead man."
Yes, it's Master Yang! Yang Shigong, who has been missing for two years. They all thought that he was long gone, who would have thought that he would be here? And, from a distance, he looks even younger than he did two years ago.
"Come down, wait a little longer, you have to come down even if you don't want to. Let me tell you, the water of the dark river will stop flowing for two quarters every day, that is, half an hour, and see that the time is almost up, and the water will come soon, and you will have to go down if you don't go down then! Yang Shigong said in a loud voice.
We were horrified by the news. Uncle Liang grabbed my arm and said loudly, "Quick, everyone hurry up and run back." ”
"It's late, it's useless, you haven't been halfway through the water and the water has washed down, no one can escape the fate of falling into the pool, and there is danger, why waste your strength to toss blindly? Listen to me, it's easy and safe to jump off now. Oh, and I forgot to tell you that the water in this pool is not too cold, and even though it is winter outside, it is spring all year round, so it will not be cold for you. ”
Master Yang's voice came from behind him, Uncle Liang turned a deaf ear, he held the stone wall with one hand, led me with the other, and struggled to go back, Liu Yingguo and Director Kuang followed closely behind. The rocks of the riverbed were washed away by the water, wet and slippery, and it was a little better when we came downhill, but now we go back all the way uphill, although the slope is not large, it is still very difficult. We have to be careful with every step we take, for fear of slipping and falling.
As Master Yang said, we had only walked a few steps before water flowed down from the dry dark river. At first, it wasn't big, it was shallow, but it covered the upper to the ankle in a minute, but the water wasn't too cool. Liu Yingguo sighed and said: "Forget it, Master Yang didn't lie, instead of being washed down by the water and falling into a rut, it is better to look down as soon as possible, alas, it seems that we are also going to be trapped in this ghost place." ”
Uncle Liang blushed, but hesitated for a moment, pulled me to turn around and walked back to the exit, and asked Director Kuang, "Xiao Kuang, can you swim in the water?" ”
Director Kuang replied: "I know water, Uncle Zeng doesn't have to worry about me." ”
At this moment, the water had submerged the calves, rushing us to stagger, and the rushing column of water stirred up the old high waves in the waterhole, making a thunderous roar, and it turned out that the rumbling sound we heard was the rush of the river. Uncle Liang gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Jump, it's really dangerous if it's too late." ”
With that, he picked me up, and with a wave of his hands, I flew up, and I caught a glimpse of him jumping down, and I fell into the pool first.
I held my breath and fell into the water with a thud, and before I sank less than three feet, I was held up by a large hand, and then I sprang out of the water and swam towards the shore where Master Yang and Shi Lai were standing. When we climbed onto the shore in water, Liu Yingguo and Director Kuang also swam over and climbed ashore one after another.
Although the water in the pool was not too cold, after all, there was still some ice, and the soaked clothes and pants stuck to the body, and I couldn't stop shivering from the cold. We quickly took off our soaked cotton clothes and pants, leaving only a pair of shorts to wrap around our buttocks, and one by one we hugged our arms and hissed and inhaled.
Looking at our embarrassed smirk, Yang Shigong said "Come with me" and took the lead in getting into the flowers and trees. We didn't speak, but we followed him, and in a short time we came to a cave in the rock wall.
The stone cave is not big, more than a zhang square, equivalent to a hut. There was a fire in the cave, and we squatted around it, and after a while we were all warm.
Master Yang kept looking at us with a smile on his face, but we didn't speak, and he didn't speak. I looked at him, and he was still wearing the long-shouldered green cloth robe he wore before he disappeared, with a dark cloth belt around his waist, which impressed me very much, and I remember it very clearly. What has changed is his hair and beard, his hair is still gray, but it is no longer flat, he tied a bun on the top of his head with a strip of cloth, pinned it with a shaved wood, the gray beard is a little sparse, not too long, only hangs on the chin, giving people a feeling of fairy wind bones.
He noticed my gaze, looked back at me and smiled, "You are Meng Xianghong of the Meng prosperous family, right?" You've grown a lot since that night. Why don't you stay at home, but follow them to Longyan Cave? This is a dead place where there is no entry or exit, and now it is okay, your grandmother will definitely be so anxious to vomit blood. ”
It was a question that had come to me as soon as I came ashore from the pool, but I did not dare to think about it. At this time, he brought it out, and I felt a sudden shock in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Daddy Yang, you disappeared after you left my house the year before last, and your family searched everywhere and never gave birth for a year, don't you want them?" You just don't want to go home? ”
Master Yang's face changed, and he was silent for a while and said, "Can you not want to?" It's useless! It's been two years, and I've tried my best, and every time I toss myself so much that I lose half of my old life, I just can't get out. Later, I thought about it, and I accepted my fate. In fact, it's very good here, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you don't have to fight with the world, but it's a real paradise! ”
"Can't get out?" Director Kuang's face changed suddenly, Huo Ran stood up, and his voice was hoarse. He didn't know much about Master Yang's affairs, but when he came, he heard Uncle Liang say a few words in general, and when he heard that he was going to be trapped here and couldn't get out, how could he stand it now? Anxiety and fear are inevitable.
