Chapter Twenty-Four: The Nai River

"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, wake up. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Xiao Jiang is okay, Xiao Jiang"

"Let me tell you Song Xiaojiang, don't fucking play dead with Lao Tzu, if you die, my Lao Tzu will pull your body out and feed it to the dogs."

I dimly heard someone calling me, my head ached, I struggled to open my eyes, and I saw everyone around me, shouting my name.

The fat man was very happy to see me open his eyes, and said: "I said that this grandson is a dog problem, and he will never hear if he talks well, and he will wake up when he scolds him and says that he will feed the dog." ”

A-Ning seemed to be shouting tears in his eyes, and while wiping his eyes, he said to the fat man, "Fat man, close your stinky mouth." ”

I tried to sit up, A-Ning saw that I wanted to sit up and hurriedly came over to help me, I spit out the sand in my mouth and looked at everyone carefully, only to see that everyone became discouraged, one by one seemed to be rolling in the mud, and the tunnel was also a mess, I looked at it for a while and asked, "Are you all right?" ”

Old Wu Tou took out a cigarette and handed it to me and said, "Everyone is fine, we all thought you were in trouble, but we scared everyone a lot!" ”

"That's right, A-Ning was scared and cried." Qiangzi pointed at Aning and said.

A-Ning wiped his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't listen to their nonsense, where I cried, it was sand in my eyes." ”

The fat man took out the lighter and lit the cigarette in my mouth, and said to me: "Alas, it's good that you're okay, this time we are also a big disaster, and we will have a blessing!" ”

"Don't worry, I, Song Xiaojiang, haven't gotten married and had children yet, how can I die so easily?" As I spoke, I struggled to stand up, and at this point my whole body ached, and I didn't know if I was tired from fighting zombies, or if I was shocked by the air flow of the explosion.

A-Ning handed me a few pills at this time and said, "Take the analgesic and anti-inflammatory medicine." ”

I took it and put it in my mouth and drank it, but I didn't find that there was a lot of water in the kettle, I looked at the kettle and said, "How much food and water do we have left?" ”

The fat man shook his backpack and said: "The food and water we have prepared are running out, we have been down for so many days, and there are many people, I think we have to go out quickly, otherwise eating and drinking will be a big problem." ”

A-Ning nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Jiang, let's hurry up and find a way to get out!" ”

I looked into the depths of the dark tunnel, and I couldn't help but worry, who knows where this tunnel leads, if we can't get out, we really won't have anything to eat in the end.

"Xiao Jiang, didn't you tell me on the ground that you had a map here? You can take it out and everyone find a way out. Old Wu Tou said expectantly.

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard the old Wu Tou mention the map, and the fat man couldn't help laughing, and then said while laughing: "Haha, you really believe it?" If we really had a map here, would we be so embarrassed? ”

After speaking, the fat man walked up to me, took out a copy of the silk painting and threw it to the old Wu Tou and said, "Take a look and see if you can find a way out." ”

Lao Wu Tou took the map, Qiangzi also ran over curiously, the two of them looked at it for a long time, Lao Wu Tou raised his head and said to us: "Xiao Jiang, it turns out that you lied to me, you only have the location map of the Xuanming Divine Palace, and there is no internal map here at all." ”

"I'm sorry, we weren't surprised if we came here by ourselves, so we wanted to pull you into the gang with Qiangzi, so I told you a lie." I said to Old Wu Tou with full apologies.

Old Wu Tou sighed and looked at the tunnel and said, "That's it, it's already here, let's see your fate!" ”

"Master, can't we get out of a thief hole?" Hadron asked suspiciously.

The fat man stomped his foot and said, "Yes, the thief hole is your old Wutou's strong point, we can go out of the hole!" ”

Old Wu Tou shook his head and said: "I don't think the hole will work at all, you look at the stones that collapsed after being blown up, these are all bluestones, do you see a little dirt?" ”

I turned my head to look at the collapsed area, and it was indeed as the old Wu Tou said, all of them were bluestone, and there was no dirt at all.

I looked at the stone and said with some despair: "Old Wu Tou is right, it is indeed all bluestone, and there is no soil. ”

"Holes are often made in the dirt, but not in the stones, I see that this area is a rock formation, and it doesn't work at all, even if we force it, I think we have not opened it yet, we have starved to death here." After Lao Wu Tou finished speaking, he kept rubbing his ankle rings with his hands.

Ah Ning thought for a while and said, "Brother Xiao Jiang, why don't we keep going, although we don't know where this tunnel leads, it's better than waiting here to die." ”

I nodded and said, "That's all there is to it now, everyone pack up and get ready to go, we don't have much time left." ”

Then a few of us set foot on the road again, because I was very uncomfortable, and the old Wu Tou also broke his foot, so our speed was not very fast, so we walked aimlessly.

"There's a voice ahead." We were walking Yang Zhi said suddenly, and when I heard Yang Zhi's words, my heart immediately lifted.

The fat man said in horror: "Don't have anything to do with corpses this time, we'll be done again." ”

I stopped and listened carefully to the sounds around me, and indeed, as Yang Zhi said, I did vaguely hear a continuous sound.

"Yang Zhi, is this voice the same as the sound of encountering a dry corpse in the past?" I said to Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi closed his eyes and listened carefully for a while and said, "It's different, this time it seems to be the sound of running water." ”

After listening to Yang Zhi's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Ah Ning took a long breath and said, "I'm scared to death." ”

"Me too, this time we can't stand any fright." Hadron whispered.

The fat man was excited, and shouted happily: "I think this is a good thing, we are running out of water now, if we go to see, if the water can be drunk, we will prepare a little, people will not starve to death without eating for a month, but they will not live for a few days without drinking water." ”

Listening to what the fat man said, I thought to myself that what the fat man said was indeed reasonable, so I said to everyone: "Then everyone hurry up, let's hurry over, even if we can't drink, wash the dirt on our bodies!" ”

A few of us couldn't help but speed up our pace, as the sound in our ears became louder and louder, and soon after, we came to the end of the tunnel, what appeared in front of us was an underground river, the underground river was not very wide, only four or five meters, surrounded by a karst cave landscape, and our feet were indeed a flat ground, which seemed to be built by man.

Old Wu Tou looked at the cave and smiled proudly and said, "I'm right, this is indeed in a rock formation, fortunately we didn't make a hole, otherwise it would really be over." ”

"Xiao Jiang, come and see, there is a ship and a stone monument here." The fat man suddenly shouted.

I hurried over, and saw a stone tablet in front of the fat man, on which was not satisfied with the sediments of the cave, and there was indeed a wooden boat not far away.

I looked up at the wooden boat, only to see that the wooden boat was full of white things, it looked like it was covered with snow, and there seemed to be handwriting on the hull, I walked over and looked carefully at the hull with a flashlight, only to see the wooden boat vaguely written: Great Japan, the handwriting behind it is not clear, I patted the hull with my hand, and found that the ship is still very strong, the hull is also very complete, and there are two wooden oars on the boat are also very complete. When I saw the ship in front of me, I suddenly thought of the dead Japanese in the corpse cave, could they have also come in?

"Brother Xiao Jiang, what do you want?" A-Ning asked me suddenly.

When I came back to my senses, I said, "This ship was left by the Japanese, and it is quite well preserved. ”

A Ning walked over and looked at it carefully and nodded, while Old Wu Tou looked at the boat and said, "I see, there may be an outlet on the river of this underground river, why don't we pull it into the water for a while, let's go and have a look." ”

The fat man took a flashlight and studied the stele endlessly, and after studying for a long time, he took the sapper shovel, scraped it hard, hung up the sediment on the stele, and said: "Look, what is written on it?" ”

Several of us gathered in front of the stele and looked at it carefully, this stele was made of white marble, no wonder it was not melted away in such a damp place. There are a few words engraved on it with a small seal.

"The dead are just the Netherworld, and the living don't know that it is Naihe," Ah Ning looked at the stone tablet and read it word by word.

Nether Path? Nether Tunnels? The legendary underworld tunnel of the cycle of life and death? So the tunnel we walked through before was the Netherworld Tunnel? The underground river in front of you is the Nai River? One thought after another came to my mind, and I turned my head again to look at the tunnel we were walking through, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

Old Wu Tou frowned and said suspiciously: "What Netherworld, what Naihe?" ”

"The Netherworld Road is the Netherworld Tunnel, the only way to pass through the legendary reincarnation of life and death, and I don't need to say much about the Nanai River, the Nai River Bridge is built on this river in legend." I said, looking at the stele.

"Look, what's that?" Hadron shouted in horror as he pointed to a pile of white flowers beside the river.

The fat man walked cautiously with a flashlight.

"Ah" The fat man stumbled back after screaming, and said in a panic: "This, this is really, this is really Naihe, it's all white bones." After speaking, the fat man hid behind Yang Zhi, trembling and shaking.

"Could this really be the legendary Nai River in hell?" Lao Wu pointed to the underground river in front of him and shouted in a panic.
