Chapter 57: Confined Space

The moment it was swallowed into the eye of the river, it was completely dark all around, and I couldn't see anything, and the whirlpool was spinning very fast, so that my brain couldn't wait to get out of my braincase, and I didn't have time to think about anything else, and I didn't even have the psychology of fear, and I subconsciously grabbed Xiao Jiuhong tightly.

People who have no relevant experience are suddenly pulled into that rapidly spinning whirlpool, and their minds are completely confused and dark. Fortunately, when I was swallowed, I held my breath and didn't choke to death right away. But I know very well that if this continues, sooner or later I will die.

I couldn't tell where the whirlpool of the river eye had swept us in, and I wanted to let go of Xiao Jiuhong and try to break free with all my strength, but she grabbed me tighter and couldn't shake it off at all. We were swept up in a daze for about two minutes, and I couldn't hold it anymore.

The feeling of suffocation is unbearable to death, and then next, I have been suffocated to the limit, my body twists back and forth with the pain of rolling, but I dare not let go, as long as I can't hold my breath and open my mouth, then let the water choke, it is equivalent to death. I don't believe that any miracles will happen, and I don't believe that the old ghost or grandpa can suddenly appear to save me, there is only one road left in front of me, a dead end.

Just when I had a slight sensory illusion due to the lack of oxygen in my brain, I didn't know what I hit on my head, and I was groggy at this moment, and the whole person was suddenly pulled by a force, and then I lost consciousness.

I don't know how long I was in a coma, but when I woke up, I felt half of my body floating in the water, but it was like a pool of stagnant water, and I couldn't feel the flow of the water, and it was quiet all around, and I couldn't hear the sound of water or wind. The forehead was hot and painful, and when I reached out and touched it, a big green bag had already bulged. Immediately, I felt that the water I was in was actually very shallow, and I could reach out to the end, and there was still a black rumbling around me, and I struggled to turn over and stand up straight in the water, at this time, I felt that Xiao Jiuhong was still by my side, and still clutched my clothes.

I don't know whether I resent her or hate her, anyway, I was a little angry in my heart, and I wanted to break away from her hand, but she grabbed it very tightly, and I couldn't shake it off.

"When is this all gone! Still fighting! You deserve to die! I blocked her hand and began to scold, because I was really angry in my heart.

"Just hit! Just hit! Kill you turtle grandson! "Xiao Jiuhong's mouth is definitely harder than a stone.

"Enough!" I pushed her hand aside: "Let's see what kind of place this is, it's not too late to fight after seeing clearly!" "

As the two of us spoke, I felt that my voice was hollow, as if I were in a large airtight but spacious house. I stood still, pulled out a match wrapped in oiled paper, and struck one. The light of the match was faint, but it was enough in such a completely dark environment, and after the fire burned, I felt that my judgment was correct, because when I looked up, I could see the rough walls on the left and right, and some water under my feet. I walked slowly, struck a few matches one after another, and finally in the nests of the walls on the left, I saw a lot of half-burned pine seeds. This thing is what the countrymen used to illuminate in the past, the best pine wood is wrapped in rags, then soaked in oil, slowly dried, then soaked in oil again, and continued to dry, repeating ten times, the pine and rags have eaten through the oil, and ignited to burn for a long time.

I came to my senses all of a sudden, grabbed a pine seed and lit it, the fire was even bigger, Xiao Jiuhong was next to her, I squinted at her, I didn't know if I should take the opportunity to find a chance to clean her up first and ask some things. But the current situation is unclear, and I don't want to get into trouble, so I handed her a pine and wanted to get a complete picture of the surrounding situation first.

As soon as the two pine nuts burned, the firelight suddenly illuminated the surroundings. No doubt we were brought to this place along the river's eye, and I was stunned as the firelight lit up the surroundings.

What the hell is this place?

On my left, there was the end of the two walls, and I saw that the wall at the end seemed to be transparent, as if it had been carved out of a single piece of crystal, and I came over with a torch and could see that on the other side of the wall, there was a rushing river, with undulating mud and sand.

At that moment, I immediately understood where I was. We must be at the bottom of the Yellow River now! This is where the river eye ends?

I walked over and touched the almost transparent wall, which was strong and hard as steel, and there was not a single crack in it. I don't know how I got brought here by the river, but after touching it, I'm sure I can't get out of this transparent wall.

Involuntarily, I turned my head and looked on the other side, the two walls stretched out, I don't know how far, I don't know where it leads, if I can't get out of the transparent wall, I can only go in the opposite direction, to find a way out. The walls were rough but heavy, which was obviously built by man, and I was confused for a moment, who had such great ability and courage to create such a confined space at the bottom of the Yellow River?

The surroundings were quiet, but the process of being brought here was a little weird, so I didn't feel very steady, and after seeing the surrounding situation clearly, I tried my best to bring enough pine nuts, and slowly walked forward, the water under my feet became shallower and shallow, and soon dried up.

As I walked, I suddenly felt a little strange movement behind me, and when I turned my head, I immediately saw Xiao Jiuhong tiptoeing slowly close to me, and the moment I turned my head, her expression was a little embarrassed, as if someone who was stealing something was suddenly discovered.

"Tell you!" I took a breath and said, "I don't know where I am now, I'm looking for my way!" We don't have anything on us, and if we can't find our way, we're going to die here! If you're looking for trouble, I'll kill you here first! "

"Do you have what it takes?" Xiao Jiuhong withdrew her hand and muttered a few words, but it seemed that she had been honest.

"Come here! Go aside! "I dragged Xiao Jiuhong to my side, so that she wouldn't do anything behind her back.

The passage between the two walls made me feel very long, and we walked slowly for more than ten meters, and the space in front of us suddenly opened up, expanding I don't know how many times. When I walked here, Matsumeiko's light faintly shone a few vague figures in the distance, and my heart suddenly tightened, is there someone in this place?

But we don't even have room to hide, the pine in our hands is so dazzling, the other party must have discovered us. I immediately paused, squinted, and for two or three minutes the figures on the other side remained motionless. At the same time, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a pit more than ten meters long and four or five meters wide in front of me, and those people were standing on the edge of the pit, as if looking at the contents of the pit in a daze.

"One, two, three, four......" Xiao Jiuhong counted secretly, and whispered: "Seven people, I'll deal with five, leave two for you, how about it?" "

"Hurry up and find a place to wash your bad face clean!" I didn't care about her mood at all, and at this time, she still seemed to be able to balance everything.

A strange feeling rose in my heart, Xiao Jiuhong was right, there were seven people standing scattered on the edge of the pit, all facing the deep pit without moving. I couldn't see exactly what was in the pit, but it seemed to have a strong attraction, and it firmly attracted the seven people on the edge of the pit.

Xiao Jiuhong and I froze in place suddenly, neither walking, nor retreating, the other party never made any sound, which made my heart hairy, I didn't dare to move, I could only look desperately, and then, the weirdness in my heart was even stronger, and I vaguely saw the person closest to me, and his right hand was broken.

"Who is it?" I opened my mouth and shouted, and the sound echoed back and forth around me.

"What are the numbers of your roads, report your name!" Xiao Jiuhong crossed his waist beside him and said loudly: "I'm Xiao Jiuhong, have you heard of it!" "

"Shut up!" I frowned, the other party must have heard our shouting, but remained indifferent, staring at the pit like a few stone statues.

"Are they all stones?" Xiao Jiuhong may also be furious, and muttered in a low voice: "Just turn them all over." "

I ignored her, it has reached this point, and I have to face each other face to face. I took the pine and continued to walk slowly and tentatively, and after walking for a while, I was already very close to the deep pit and the people standing on the edge of the pit. When I walked all the way here, I suddenly felt that Xiao Jiuhong seemed to be right, those seven people were really stones.

To be exact, seven stone figures carved out of stone were placed on the edge of the pit. My heart immediately steadied, and I quickened my pace to get closer to the "person" closest to me.

Not bad at all, it is indeed a stone figure carved out of stone, standing straight in place, seven stone figures scattered around this pit, I have not fully seen them clearly, but I can feel that these seven stone figures have a broken right hand.

Seven severed hands, the old grandfather of the seven gates of the river?

Because the distance was closer, and the line of sight was much clearer, I found that the pit in front of the stone man was actually not deep. I don't know when and who put it here, but it is estimated that it has been a long time, and a layer of tidal water vapor has fallen on the stone man's body, and there are green spots.

"Damn." Xiao Jiuhong raised her leg and kicked the stone man, and said, "It's really a stone man, the scared old lady is sweating." "

"You have a good time!" I scolded her not to move, I don't know the origin of these seven stone figures, but they all have broken hands, and they must be inseparable from the old ancestor of the Seven Gates of Hezizi.

"What a murderer! Don't think I'm really afraid of you! "

I didn't argue with her, I walked carefully along the pit, I had always thought that there would be something great in the pit, but after walking a few steps and going down with the firelight, the pit was empty. I walked a few meters away and came to another stone figure, which was so lifelike that even the wrinkles on his face were clearly visible. I am a descendant of the river man, I believe, among the seven stone figures, there must be one, is the prototype of our Chen family's ancestors, looking at the stone people, I am a little stunned, starting from the grandfather's generation, the seven gates of the river man, what have they experienced? What exactly are they going to do?

"Oops, hey." Xiao Jiuhong suddenly ran to my side and dragged me, I found that her face was a little weird, blue and red flashing, she swallowed her saliva, and said, "You say, does the stone man have legs?" "
