Chapter 008, Swamp
General Wang ran out of dozens of miles with Gege in his arms, and he was so tired that he choked, and walking in this swamp, the mud was drowning up to his knees, and it was much more difficult to walk than he imagined. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The swamp was sparsely littered with dead trees, and the mud beneath the muddy sewage mixed with leaves, and the sun shining on the muddy water reflected a harsh turbid light, and where they were stepped on, there was a foul smell of rotting leaves.
"No one has been here for hundreds of years! This smell is too strong, I can't care so much, I really can't run, even if it stinks to death, I won't leave," Zhang Ye complained in a rough voice about the harsh environment, "Let me take a break, I'm tired, I guess, it is estimated that they will not be able to catch up for a while." Zhang Ye said as he leaned on his shoulder against a dead tree, and there was a kind of shelf that he couldn't walk on.
After Zhang Han carefully observed the surroundings, he walked up to General Wang, saw that he was sweating profusely, and said, "Let me carry it for a while,—— we have to leave this swamp quickly." You see that the water is bubbling white, the upper body is sore from the sun, but the lower body is cold and biting, and if it is at night, the humidity here will definitely increase. If we hadn't gone out at night, we'd all have to get sick here. ”
General Wang nodded in agreement, basically the same as Zhang Han's opinion, and said: "This swamp seems to be as hot as summer during the day, but it is colder than winter at night, plus our clothes are soaked, we can't delay here for a moment, we have to leave quickly."
Zhang Han looked at Gege on General Wang's back, his face turned a little pale, and asked, "Gege.... Here's how to pull! As he spoke, he touched Gege's forehead, and a trace of worry appeared on his face, "Gege has a fever, what should I do." ”
Zhang Ye said with some complaints, "Look at this place where birds don't, what else can you do, you can only get out of here quickly," he said and took two big steps.
General Wang knew that his physical strength was a little overdrawn, so he hugged Gege to Zhang Han, and his hands were numb for a while, and he couldn't exert his strength at all.
Zhang Han held Gege with one hand, and hurriedly supported General Wang with the other, "General, are you okay?" At this time, General Wang's ears were ringing, and he couldn't hear the sound at all, and he slowly blurred his vision and passed out. shouted at Zhang Ye: "What are you still watching, come here and help." Zhang Ye, who was walking in front, found that General Wang had fainted, and hurriedly ran over to help him. I didn't know what to do for a while, I stood in the plain and looked at the swamp, and I couldn't see the shore at all, "It seems that we can't get out tonight, we have to find a place to spend the night." ”
"Isn't it! Spend the night here, what are you kidding, it will kill people. Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and struggled to carry General Wang up, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, why is it so heavy, I don't want to die here, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet." ”
Zhang Han looked at Gege in his arms with a low face, worried that she was weak and couldn't withstand the toss, plus she was having a high fever, "I definitely can't get out today, now there are only the two of us left, we have to conserve our strength, we must find a place to rest, otherwise we all have to be here," There is no other way now, taking advantage of the fact that it is still early, I hope to find a place to rest and go." Zhang Ye looked around and turned around, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother, you wait for me,—— I thought of a good idea," he looked up at the tree in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you remember when you were a child,—— we can go up the tree," he said and laughed proudly, "My idea, not bad!"
Zhang Ye has been more stubborn since he was a child, and his father's tutor is stricter, but he is very good at climbing trees, so as long as he makes his father angry, he climbs the tree, sometimes his father is more tight, and he spends the night on the tree, and then the tree is all cut down by his father, and he has not climbed a tree for more than ten years, and today it is a wrong tendon, but this idea is good, but where to find such a big tree.
The pale moonlight emitted a faint glow, shining in this forest, Prince Su, Zhao Hua and the others, they didn't know how long they had been climbing, and they didn't know what would be waiting for them below, and no one spoke for a while, probably because everyone was too tired, and they only heard the friction sound of vines and stone walls when crawling.
A group of them, crawling and resting, after another half an hour, the vines on the stone wall shook, and vaguely felt that something above was moving down rapidly, because the light was too weak, they could only see things within twenty meters, curiosity made them stop, Zhao Hua made a gesture to Prince Su to pay attention to safety, and then pointed to it, poked his head and slowly climbed up, wanting to see what it was, and slowly disappeared from their sight.
After a while, he suddenly heard Zhao Hua shouting, "It's not good, there are monsters, you guys go quickly," before the words fell, a group of monsters like monkeys appeared in front of him, and the difference with monkeys was that they actually had two heads and four long fangs, which passed by Zhao Hua's side, causing a violent shaking, and Zhao Hua's hand slipped and his whole body fell down.
Prince Su watched Zhao Hua fall from in front of him, and at this moment, Prince Su hooked his legs to the vine, grabbed Zhao Hua's hand with both hands, hung upside down on the vine, and returned to the vine.
Instead of attacking them, the monsters went straight down and disappeared from their sight, leaving only a shudder. Zhao Hua pinched a cold sweat, "It's so dangerous, what the hell is this,—— do we still have to go down." Prince Su looked at the present, a little difficult to decide, and after hesitating for a while, "Rest in place first." ”
After this day's high physical exertion, they were all exhausted, and no one was willing to speak, and the forest fell silent, but from time to time there was Zhang Ye's complaint, and then there was a death-like silence.
This silence didn't last long, about a pot of tea, Zhao Hua broke this quiet space that made people panic, and said in a rough voice: "I pondered this situation, now there are two ways to choose, the bottom is definitely not safe, and what about the top?" I'm not sure if it's safe, so I'd like to hear your opinions. Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and disdainfully "cut" it, "You don't mean you didn't say it." As soon as the words were finished, a violent shaking came from below, shaking the loose stones on the cliff wall and rolling down.
Zhao Hua looked at the big stone that rolled down, smashed it at Prince Su, and shouted, "Protect the prince." A group of soldiers crawled to the side of Prince Su. Prince Su looked at these vines and couldn't bear so many people, and shouted, "Don't come here..." The stone fell from the side, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everyone was okay, but it was just a false alarm.
Then I heard "pop..... With a bang, everyone realized that something was wrong, and when they were about to climb away, it was too late, one by two, three ....., snapping, all broken at once. All of them grabbed the vines and fell.
The vines clutched in their hands, like falling into a river and grasping at a life-saving straw.
"Bang Bang Bang ......" The vines and stone walls broke away from the sound, as if a huge net had been lifted.
"Ahh
I don't know how long it fell, the body felt hit something, and it bounced up slightly, everyone thought that this time it was dead, but they found that the body was soft underneath, not like it fell to the ground, and they were ecstatic that they were not killed by the fall.
This laughter didn't make him happy for long.
It was pitch black in front of me, I couldn't see my fingers, I didn't know where the hell this had fallen, I just felt my body swaying, and the only thing I was sure of now was that it wasn't on the ground, since it wouldn't be on the ground, where would it be.
A panicked soldier asked, "Where is this?" ”
Don't move, but before the words fell, one of the soldiers stepped on the air and fell directly, and the sound of "Ah......" was not even heard on the ground.
"Don't panic, everyone, it seems that we are still in the air, stay where we are, stay where we are, and wait until dawn before leaving," Zhao Hua shouted.
"You are all soldiers brought out by me, and now you are dying in front of me one by one, but I can't save you."
Prince Su, don't say that, you treat us like brothers, brothers follow you, and die without regrets.
The water is getting deeper and deeper, but the sludge under his feet is not as deep as before, with the feeling under his feet, he has now entered a sandy field, Zhang Ye, who has been half drowned, has been complaining with General Wang on his back, but he doesn't know what he is talking about, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted with joy on his face, "Brother.. Brother, look at it, it's so big, it's such a beautiful tree! I really want to come to something. ”
A big tree that spreads out like a lotus flower grows in this swamp, and it becomes particularly unsightly, but Zhang Han really doesn't have the heart to appreciate it at this moment.
Zhang Ye quickened his pace with General Wang on his back, walked in front of Zhang Han with a sigh, and turned around and shouted, "Brother, I'll wait for you on the tree first, it's okay if you slow down."
"Wait," Zhang Han looked at the area in front of him, "Look, there is no debris around, and the center is blue-black, this should be a deep pool." ”
Zhang Ye heard that it was still a deep pool, and the opportunity to say something big came, "Brother, let me show you today, my water kung fu, this is my housekeeping skill,—— do you remember, Ah Niu in the next village!" That guy is a master, but he's also my loser. ”
Zhang Han didn't seem to be interested in his topic, his eyes were focused on the water, and then he took a few steps back vigilantly and whispered: "There is something in the water,—— it should be a crocodile." After hearing this, Zhang Ye was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated behind Zhang Han, "Crocodile, where is the crocodile, why didn't I see it, you won't be scaring me!" ”
Zhang Han glared at him fiercely and scolded in a low voice: "You want to die!" The crocodile is in the water, mainly relying on the vibration of the water, to lock the position of the food, are you so reckless, do you want to serve it dinner? ”
Zhang Ye was a little unhappy in his heart, and shouted: "Where is the crocodile, why didn't I see it." ”
Zhang Han pointed to a place five meters away, "Look there, a few bubbles pop up from time to time, there is a slight roll on the water surface, and the muddy water is floating," a wicked smile appeared on his face, "Our dinner has fallen." ”
What, dinner, you actually told me about dinner at this time, where do I still have the heart to listen to you joking, Zhang Ye responded.
A crocodile slowly surfaced, "Big Brother really has crocodiles.... Zhang Ye was so frightened that he stammered, "I have to go, brother, this guy still has a lot of guys, why are you still standing there!" Run! Before he could finish speaking, the crocodile attacked them. Slapping the water and rushing towards them, Zhang Han pulled out the short knife on General Wang's waist, "It's too late, Gege and General Wang will hand it over to you." ”
With that, he put Gege on his shoulder and rushed to the crocodile.
