At the end of the passage there are no ruins of an ancient city, but a huge pit.

This pit is bottomless, my miner's lamp is useless here, I can't see the whole picture of this pit, but I can hear the sound of gurgling water while lying on the edge of the pit, I suddenly think of a place, a wonder that only appears in the county annals, a living water hole.

It has been recorded in the county annals that the living water cave is a strange scene formed by a special landform and the direction of the underground river, and the living water hole will be filled with water in a fixed time in a fixed time, and once the time passes, the water will disappear without a trace.

Jiang Yuan stood on the edge of the pit and observed, the medicinal power of those medicines had receded, in his own words, it felt good to be able to stand up, he had never felt that being able to walk was a very important thing before, but after this time, he vowed to cherish his legs in the future.

I lay on the edge of the pit and looked down, the sound of the water became louder and louder, the sound of cooing and cooing became louder and louder, Zhang Yang rushed over from behind, the first sentence was the living water hole, it seems that this one in front of us is really a living water hole, and according to a piece of information that Zhang Yang once obtained, there is indeed such a hole on the east side of the ancient city of Xishang.

"Jump." Zhang Yang untied the rope around his waist as he spoke.

I was a little hesitant, but Jiang Yuan agreed, two to one, even if I objected, I was afraid that I would have to jump, so I just saved some effort and didn't say more.

The bottom of the pit wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, the rocks at the bottom of the pit were very smooth due to the current, and the gurgling sound seemed to be much quieter when at the bottom of the pit.

There was a lot of water under my feet, so I found a relatively flat place to sit down, and I was so thirsty that I didn't care if the water was drinkable, and after a few sips, I felt that the water was the same as the mineral water sold in the supermarket, a little sweet.

The power indicator of the miner's lamp is on, which means that the battery is more than half charged, I turned on the strongest light, and within the range of light, I saw that the stones under my feet were all white, and countless rivers gathered in the recess, I proposed to go against the current, the other two did not object, but hesitated.

After walking against the water for a while, Zhang Yang, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at us, "There is no way." ”

I've always been very confident in my judgment, "It's impossible, you usually find the source of the water flow when you go upstream, how can it be a dead end?" ”

There are not even cracks in the smooth mirror-like stone wall, and those water flows out of the cracks under the stone wall, "If this water can flow out of this rock crack, it means that there is space behind it, and we will find a way to get there." ”

I patted the stone wall, "In the past? Walk through walls or through crevices below? ”

Jiang Yuan pointed above our heads, "On top." ”

"Above?"

I looked up, "Where?" How tall? ”

Jiang Yuan blinked his eyes, "My eyes can't see, I'm listening." ”

Zhang Yang took the miner's lamp from my hand, adjusted the brightness and threw it upwards hard, if this height is unstable, the miner's lamp will be broken.

As the lamp was rising, I saw a shadow on the rock wall, and this shadow was constantly flowing out.

When Zhang Yang caught the miner's lamp, he said a word in English, and Jiang Yuan pulled me to the rock wall and said, "This is an opportunity." ”

It's rock climbing again, the two of them are like two raccoon cats, one with listening, one with looking, three or two on the up, and I was pulled up together after they went up, after I went up, I lay on the ground and swore secretly, after I went back, I went to Shidu to play bungee jumping, I don't believe that I can't overcome this fear of heights.

This hole is not big, a few of us can only crawl in it, our knees are immersed in the water and it is cold and biting, the current is very fast, and there is a menacing meaning, Zhang Yang is at the front of the team, but after a while, he threw out a long distance, Jiang Yuan suddenly stopped, turned back to me and said, "Did you bring a notebook?" ”

I touched the notebook on my waist, "With it, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yuan said, "Give me something." ”

I handed the notebook over, probably because Jiang Yuan's eyes couldn't see, he accidentally dropped the notebook when he took it, and the notebook sank in the water and didn't go away with the water, which made me a little suspicious.

Zhang Yang learned a few crow calls from the front, and Jiang Yuan's face changed immediately, "Hurry up, go back." ”

As I spoke, I felt that there were countless loaches rushing towards me in the water, with great force, hitting our arms and legs without slowing down at all, Zhang Yang crawled from the front, "Get out." ”

Because I was at the back, I had to jump down when I got to the entrance of the cave, and I thought I would fall badly, but when I jumped down, I realized that there was a lot of water down there, at least I was in the water, and this foot could not touch the bottom of the pit.

I swam in the water, trying to find my way in the water, and Zhang Yang and Jiang Yuan also jumped down one after another, the three of them were fluttering in the water, and the miner's lamp didn't know where it fell, in the darkness, the eyes were useless, and I could only use my ears.

The water was not calm, there seemed to be schools of fish moving, and the rumbling sound of the water around me told me that the living water hole was starting to come alive.

In the dark, Zhang Yang tugged at my clothes and said, "You take Jiang Yuan to stay where you are, I'll go down and take a look, so that this water hole will be filled soon, and then we will definitely die." ”

Jiang Yuan grabbed him and said, "You are not good at water, so I'd better go." ”

Zhang Yang shook off his hand, "Your eyes can't see, and it's not very peaceful in this water, so I'd better go." ”

Jiang Yuan smiled bitterly twice, "I can't see anything in the dark here, whether there are eyes or not has little effect on me, don't fight with me, I'll go see if there are other exits." ”

Zhang Yang wanted to stop it, but I stopped him, "In the water, you and I can't compare to him, let him go." ”

Jiang Yuan walked freely in the water, rarely came up to breathe, Zhang Yang and I were worried about being swept away by the current and disoriented, and kept holding each other with climbing ropes, and at the same time we were doing our best to find miner's lamps in the water, this kind of miner's lamp is waterproof, as long as it is fished up within three hours, it will generally be fine.

I led the end of the climbing rope to look underwater, suddenly felt something hit me, I grabbed it and suddenly felt that this thing in my hand was a little familiar, when I came up to ventilate, I saw Zhang Yang holding a miner's lamp is coming towards me, by the light of the miner's lamp I saw that what I was holding in my hand was actually an arm, and there was a ring on the finger of that hand.

I was taken aback, and my instinctive reaction threw it out, just throwing it in front of Zhang Yang, he calmly picked up the arm, took off the ring on his hand and put it on his hand, and then swam in front of me, pointed to a piece of water behind him and said, "Jiang Yuan has been sinking for a long time, let's go down and have a look." ”

I wanted to ask him why he wore the ring on his hand, but unexpectedly, he actually said the reason first, the reason is that the ring is his, a month ago, someone stole it, and now, the thing is returned to the original owner.

I recognized this ring, it was very similar to the one Jiang Yuan gave me, I didn't continue to ask, but followed him to take a breath and sink into the water where Jiang Yuan had lost his trace.

It's not a rough patch of water, you can feel fish swimming everywhere in the water, and the further you go, the more fish there are, and you can even describe it as difficult to swim an inch.
