20. Wutai

The sky and the earth were white, and the hazy water vapor seemed to make you feel like you were in the middle of the sea.

"Calm down." The girl seemed to feel the twitching of my hand and reassured me, "Maybe I'm lost in my bearings, let's take a break." ”

"It's fine." I exhaled and sat down, this place is so wrong, when I was on the mountain before, I saw that the fog was not very big, but why did the fog fill up as soon as I entered the forest? Or is there really something underneath the area? I thought as I tapped my palms on the ground.

But at this time my hand touched something cold, and I leaned down and saw that it was a stone, how could there be a stone here? I immediately thought about digging up the rock.

"What are you doing?" The girl was stunned by my movements.

"Something isn't quite right with this stone." When I pulled it out, my hand touched the inscription on the back of it. "It's a stele." I thought in my heart, holding it in front of me, I cleared the dirt on it, and saw a few delicate fonts engraved on it, "Li Yonghong stopped here. ”

"It's the Black Cheng Monument. This "Black Cheng Monument" is engraved with the name and time of the adventurer who stopped here, and it is a symbol of the people who have explored in Shennongjia to prove themselves. The girl glanced at it and lowered her voice, "Is this the marginal area, or the heartland?" ”

"I don't know! We were in such a hurry that we didn't bring anything with us, and there was no way to locate it. And where did all this damn fog come from? Why not disperse yet? Isn't the sun supposed to come out? This is the top of the mountain. ”

"Wait a minute, what's under the dirt at your feet?" The girl said.

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly squatted down and dug up, and it didn't take long for a white skeleton to appear in front of us, and at a glance, this white bone was actually a corpse, which should be the founder of the milestone, and then the atmosphere became gloomy, and I had the illusion that we could use some geographical knowledge and life-saving means to go out again, but it was this cold corpse that responded to us.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and with a little frustration, I sprinkled the dirt back in my hand and asked again, "Are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid." She replied, but surprisingly unloaded her backpack and pulled a flashlight out of it.

"We don't know how long we've walked and how far we've walked, but we're still alive." I looked down and saw that she didn't listen to me, but took the milestone I had placed on the ground and took it, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's a word on it?" She said with a flashlight.

"Follow the river?" I read out the fonts one by one by the light of the flashlight, and at the same time it dawned on me, yes, as long as we find the river and follow the river, we will definitely be able to get out. But since this man can think of going out from the river, there must be a river near here. I calmed down and listened carefully, and soon I heard a little bit of running water.

"Shall we walk along?" The girl obviously heard the small voices as well: "What should we do when we go into the water?" ”

"To be honest, I don't know." I sighed, "But I don't know when the fog will dissipate, now we are at the top of the mountain, the place where the ultraviolet rays are the strongest, and the wind is unusually strong, but why does the fog persist all the time?" I don't dare to jump to conclusions, but when I see this corpse, I know that if we don't leave, this will be the end. ”

With that, I took her hand and walked into the fog, we moved very slowly, but we always maintained a straight line, but in the woods I realized that it was basically ineffective. The increasing number of trees makes it easy for us to drift off our bearings, especially the ones that are as thick as four or five people hugging each other.

Several times off the route, but we still came to the river quickly, the river is not fast, the river is not very wide, but the water temperature is cold and biting, there is no fog on the river surface, our view is very good here, there are generally large wetlands with tall grass and craggy rocks by the river, it is inconvenient to walk and dangerous.

There are some branches of trees downstream that extend from the shore to the middle of the river, so it doesn't seem to be easy to walk! But by sight, this is really the only way out for us.

"What should I do?" She asked.

"Get into the water." I resolutely said, "Take off your clothes and put them in your backpack, and then you will float downstream with your backpack." ”

"Undressed?" She was surprised.

I turned around and picked up a stick from the river and stuck it in the dirt, and said, "Why don't you wait to dry your clothes when you come ashore without a change of clothes?" ”

"But." She couldn't accept it for a while, and argued, "What's the point of us doing this? ”

"It's just about surviving." I looked up and saw the only faint light shining through the mist on the riverbank, and the other way to do this was to erect a stick vertically on the ground, mark the shadow of the sun at its tip on the ground, and after 15 minutes, mark the tip of the stick again, and the line between the two points was east-west.

"But me." Surprisingly, this female man became shy.

"I've turned around, you hurry up and take off your clothes, just go straight to the water when you're done, what are you afraid of." I said this sentence with righteousness, Ling Ran seemed to be my woman, he was a man, I stripped naked and stood in front of him, but he was so frightened that he trembled.

"I'm a fucking girl." She finally became furious.

"I look at the straight figure, and I estimate that the rest of my life will be wasted." I pinched the time for about 15 minutes, and our river was flowing in the east. "That's it." I turned around and saw that the girl was already floating in the water with a blushing face, and she was still holding her backpack to her chest.

"Hurry down, it's so cold down there." She shuddered. And I couldn't help but wipe my nose, which is too fucking connotation. I immediately took off my clothes like a rolling bed, put it in my bag, and jumped into the river, the pocket of my backpack was pierced and sealed, and I blew it into full air, and it was like an inflatable ball.

When I got into the water, the water wasn't quite cold, but after swimming a distance, my body got colder and colder: "How are you?" I asked.

"It's okay, my physical fitness is very good, but it's not comparable to you otaku." The girl said behind me.

Although it was in the water, I still had the idea of braking suddenly, her hand was straight against my back, although it was to prevent embarrassment, but I could still make some ** contact if I wanted, I suddenly felt a numbness on my leg and a little cramp, and gradually the calf of the whole left foot was unconscious.

I gritted my teeth and bent down little by little, trying to find out what was on my legs, but the water soon led us to an area with dense branches, where weeds and vines flourished in the deep forest, and in this part of the river, the water was light, full of fish and shrimp, but it was thickly covered with these grassy vines like a big quilt in winter. This stemmed plant is very attached to other things, and the trees at the bottom of the river are completely occupied by them, and they rely on this little attachment to form a cover on the river surface.

"What's wrong with you, it's ahead." The girl's frightened voice reached my ears, but before I could react, I felt that something was hanging on my backpack, and then my right hand was also caught by a branch, and below was a strong current, and above was an overwhelming branch that made me completely immobile, and I didn't know what was being attached to the column under my calf.

Soon I fell deeper and deeper in this dilemma, wanting to dive but unable to go down, trying to float but helpless. "What should I do? She's still behind me. I thought to myself, and immediately opened my mouth to remind her, "You hurry up and dive down, you can't walk up there." I almost cried out through gritted teeth as I said this, as more and more wounds appeared on my arms and chest from the opposite impact of the branches and the water, and the cold water beat me mercilessly, making me feel painful.

"You let me leave you?" The girl saw wisps of blood wafting out of my wound and swam to my side, trying to remove the branch that was stuck in me.

"It's useless, it will take me some time to break free from these, you go first, don't worry that I won't peep at you from behind, you have to know that when I was making a movie, others called me Righteous Kojiro."

"Poof." The girl smiled and floated in the water, and her white breasts flickered in front of my eyes, "No wonder I brought you to the crew so quickly, it turned out to be too righteous." ”

I swallowed, my blood tumbling even more, the mist of the water and the sunlight shining down through the branches, and the girl's sultry body reflected seductively from time to time under the mottled water waves. "Go away! If I don't leave, I'm really going to bleed too much. I teased, as if this was the only time I could forget the pain.

"Didn't you say I had no bright figures?" She seemed to see through my eyes and sank a little. scolded in his mouth, "Perverted." ”

"I'm so beautiful that I can't bear to be a pervert!" I said with a grin, trying to keep my body as flat as I could in the water, trying to slowly pull my arms out.

"Poor mouth, I'll go first." She seemed to be in a much better mood, and she dived down with a slam.

"Oh yes, I've got something on my leg for me to get rid of, so I might be able to get out soon."

"yes, I see." The girl showed her head and smiled at me, "Thank you." ”

Thank me? I was stunned and it seemed that she thought I had run into the branches to avoid letting her run into the branches, but I was actually cramping my legs and feet, and there was something attached to them. But soon the girl took off the thing when she dived underwater, and now my feet were back to normal, I slowly calmed down my heart, telling myself not to worry, the more urgent this thing will be, the more chaotic it will be, and then soon I got out of that area, but I didn't choose to dive but swam through these branches, after all, I have a mask on my face, and my body is basically underwater and I'm not afraid of anything, but what I didn't expect is that my body is even more cold because of excessive blood loss on the way.

Then my strength went on faster and faster, until I saw the sunlight through the branches and my brain fainted.

However, when I woke up, I found myself on the girl's back, "Where is this?" I asked.

"Downstream, the current is a bit turbulent right now, and we can't even get to the shore if you don't wake up." She muffled a little.

"I'm sorry." I broke free from her shoulder as I spoke, and for a moment the rush of the current carried me to a reef far away.

As soon as the girl saw me, she quickly swam over again, took my hand and said, "There are a lot of undercurrents here, so it's better to be careful, my physical strength is still sufficient, so you don't have to pretend to be a hero." ”

I heard her words and smiled bitterly, I didn't have anything to say when I met this kind of woman, put my hand on her weak shoulder, and followed her to swim to the shore little by little, at this time I found that her leather band was washed away by the water, and her hair spread out in the water like a rainbow in the sky, and a wisp of the sun sprinkled down and the ripples on the water floated like jade. Turns out she's still a girl! Why did I let her go on an adventure with me? It occurred to me that in the case of strong currents, dense reefs, too large drops, and too low water temperatures, the average adventurer should try to avoid entering the river. And I forced her to come with her for a little idea of her own, she is not a fat person or an old man, she is just a girl who will be scared, cry, and shy, although she will occasionally show her side as a man, but she is different from us.

Thinking about it, I gradually pushed her towards my back, and began to lead the paddling movement, in this kind of place there are many reefs and very slippery, we can't catch them, let alone this kind of place where the water flows too much, but I can't stay in the water anymore, the damage will only get bigger and bigger, and I feel the pain of piercing my heart. So I'm going to give it a go, the water below is swirling on the surface of the river, and that's where the undercurrent is surging, and if we go in, it's definitely a dead end. There will be a big crater under the water, and the bigger the pit, the more it will shine into that huge whirlpool.

"I'll jump up and climb onto that rock later, you have to hold on to my backpack, and if I don't make it, you let go, and I'll swim myself." I said.

She strangely didn't speak, just pulled my backpack symbolically, but before I could understand what she meant, I jumped out of the water, this time it used almost all my strength, I knew that if I didn't succeed then I would be a fish here, and the reason why I dared to take such a risk was first because the stone was big enough, and again it was in the dense whirlpool of the lower stream, and it was better to let go than to die.

Luckily, this time I was right, and I fell the reef, because this reef is relatively high, and there are some places where the current can't be washed away, so it's basically a dry place, and there is no water, and it's not very slippery. "That's right! It's because of the underground that there is a lot of water, and there must not have been so much water here before, so this reef is not very smooth. ”

"Hurry up." Before I could spit out the blood in my chest, I immediately turned around and pulled the girl, and she didn't think much about it, which caused my nosebleed and saliva to rush out.

As soon as I pulled her up, I turned away from her, but the atmosphere froze, and just when I thought she was going to get angry, she suddenly said, "What do you see on the shore?" ”

Following her hand, I suddenly saw a tall and thin man standing in the mist in the woods on the shore, but the proportions of that figure made people look more and more strange. (To be continued.) )
