Chapter 32: The Mark of Murder
The boat had run aground, and the three of us, without tools, could not have gotten the boat back on the river again, and, when I came down, I found that there seemed to be a small hole in the boat a little below the boat's gang, and the broken stubble around the hole was still new.
Xiao Wu beckoned me to hurry over, and I trotted all the way to them, Qian Jue was holding a very strange flashlight shining on these stones, "Let's go up and have a look." ”
"Okay, the boat can't go anyway, let's go by land."
My idea is very direct and very simple, since the waterway is not passable, it is always right to take the land route, but my idea is always so simple, because when we go along the white shoal, I find that the white stones on these shallows are not ordinary stones, the more you go inside, the bigger the stones, and even the largest can be as big as a water tank, and the shape is more and more distinct, the first thing that makes me suspicious is a white rough stone similar to a pedestal, this stone is full of patterns, although it is very unclear, But the pattern of the pattern is still recognizable, it is a lotus.
Xiao Wu also saw this, but he didn't say it, just symbolically mentioned it, Qian Jue is also deeply interested in this ancient carving, the moment he saw it, his face suddenly turned to the side, and then he ran over quickly, Xiao Wu and I also followed, and then the three of us found that the pedestal of this white rough stone is really a pedestal engraved with a lotus pattern, generally speaking, most of the lotus patterns are used in religious temples and other buildings, so this place is likely to be the site of a temple.
Of course, the answer that Qianjue gave us at this time, I still believe in this. Further on, you can see the ruins of some large buildings. The terrain began to rise higher and higher, and there were still handsome peaks on both sides. Shaded by green trees, the ruins of a white building hidden in a green valley stand out.
The deeper you go, the more obvious the traces of the ruins become.
The white steps went straight up, there was not a single weed on both sides, it was clean and eye-catching, it was really the noon sun at this time, and the white swaying made my eyesight begin to have some uncomfortable feelings, and there were always black spots in front of my eyes, and this black spot was like the feeling after looking up at the sun for a long time when I was a child.
Enduring the discomfort in his eyes, he followed the two of them up the steps and stood on the ruins of a white hall. Surrounded by the collapse of huge stone pillars and the remains of buildings, the degree of weathering is very serious, some can no longer see the original carved pattern, Xiao Wu and Qianjue are both very purposefully looking for something, only I am confused, aimlessly circling around the palace ruins, because my eyes are really painful, and began to show signs of swelling, I have to close my eyes to relieve eye discomfort.
Suddenly. I heard Xiao Wu shouting "Be careful", and when I reacted, I felt my body's center of gravity tilt suddenly, and before I could understand. It was dark in front of me, and the whole person seemed to be in a 10,000-year-old ice cave, and a cool breath drilled into my body from every pore of mine.
I felt like I was descending without gravity. Because it was a strange feeling, as if someone was dragging me down in the air.
I tried to keep my eyes open. But there was still darkness before my eyes, and this darkness was the kind of darkness that was terrifying. I can't see my fingers when I really reach out, and it's extremely black.
In the process of slowly descending the body, I felt a cool breeze blowing more than once, just when I felt the direction of the wind blowing with my heart, I suddenly felt that something disappeared, under the action of gravity, accompanied by a scream, a fishy smell rushed in, a mouthful of slimy cold mud made me miserable, lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up without saying, this mouth made me really disgusting, I could vomit all the things I could vomit, and finally only jaundice water was left, and then vomited it really put my life in, However, I fell really hard, lying on the ground for a long time, moving my arms and legs, although it hurts, but at least there is no fracture, I moved a few times, and I barely sat up, there is a thick layer of silt underneath, no, it should be said that it is mud.
This fall was really heavy, so that I could only barely sit up, my lower body couldn't move, my head was buzzing, and it took me a while to hear some sounds, it was a shout, it was Qianjue's voice calling me.
I couldn't tell the difference between east and west, so I just sat there and threw my head up and shouted, "I'm here." ”
I shouted and tried to stand up, because it felt really bad to sit in the mud, and I was sure there was something in the mud, because I could feel something squirming on the exposed skin of my feet and neck.
What I'm afraid of in my life is these little things, you say that I don't have to be afraid of tigers and lions in the deep mountains and old forests, on the contrary, this kind of small things that can be seen but look disgusting are unguardable, and it's really annoying.
After a while, my hearing was restored, but my vision was still gone, and the darkness in front of me was terrifying, and I rubbed my thighs and could barely stand up.
Xiao Wu's voice came again, I still responded loudly that I was here, and after a while, a rope fell, and one end of the rope just hung on my shoulder, I grabbed the rope and shook it, indicating that I was here,
After a while, Xiao Wu came down the rope, and then Qianjue, these two people probably knew the following situation, and it was very light when they landed, and then I felt that my eyes lit up, and the dazzling miner's light source illuminated the range here, and my eyes couldn't adapt for a while because they had been in the dark for too long, and I closed my eyes and waited for a while before I opened them, looking at the two of them, looking down at myself, and saying why I was the most embarrassed every time.
Qian Jue looked at the mud all over my body and immediately knew what had just happened, but he looked at it with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "How did you fall off." ”
I carefully recalled, at that time, I was just walking back and forth with my eyes closed because of my eyes, in fact, at that time, I just wanted to relieve the tension and unpleasantness in my heart by walking, and I always felt that my breath was pressing on my heart, making people breathless.
But then, I vaguely felt a loose stone brick under my feet, and in that second, I heard someone shouting at me, and then it was dark in front of me.
Qian Jue frowned after listening to me, looked up, and just when he wanted to say something, he suddenly heard a very slight rumbling sound, and then I felt something fall, under the dual action of gravity and height, the climbing rope smashed down and almost smashed me into a daze.
"What's the situation?" I shouted while holding my smashed head, and countless grass and mud horses were galloping in my heart.
"We can't get out, we have to find another way."
In the darkness, Qianjue's voice came, and at the same time, I heard Xiao Wu's voice not far away, "Here is the signal left by Xiaodong." (To be continued.) )
