Chapter Eighty-Three: The Crater
Lu Dachuan estimated that the cave that the ship drilled into was not wrong to dig into a volcano, but we did not expect that the cave did not pass through the mountain horizontally, but led to the crater in the center of the volcano......
After yelling for two or three minutes, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, that the boat was erected, and that we should have fallen heavily on the bow railing, if not thrown out, but now...... I turned my head and looked around, and saw that not only were we standing on the deck as vertical as the wall, but even the firewood, tents, campfires, and other items behind us were well placed there, which meant that the boat was erected, and we were only frightened through our senses, as if nothing had happened.
When I looked around, Lu Dachuan, Liu Changjiao, and Lin Xian'er also reacted, as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes were rounder than the other, and only Lu Keqin was still closing his eyes, "Ah...... Ah......" shouted,
I raised my feet and tried to take two steps in place, but when I saw that I didn't fall down, I walked up to Lu Keqin, shook her shoulders and called her: "Sister Keqin, Sister Keqin,." ”
She opened her eyes and looked at me and asked, "What's the matter, is it the end?" ”
Seeing that there was no fear on her little face, and there was a light of excitement in her eyes, I almost broke down, and when I told her what had happened, she stared at the deck with her mouth wide open for a while, I thought she was frightened, and was trying to comfort her, but I didn't expect that she suddenly ran to the top of the deck like a crazy little mare, and then turned around and shouted at me, "Husband, I'm coming." And he threw himself at me with open arms,
Seeing her jumping off the building and shouting like suicide, the cold sweat on my head broke out, my legs were so weak that I couldn't stand, I tried to lift my two arms, and shouted in a trembling voice like a strong wind: "You slow down......"
She ran straight down to two paces away from me and suddenly stopped, looked back haha and smiled and said, "It's fun, do it again." ”
I sat down on the deck and said to myself, "Mom, is there something wrong with this daughter-in-law I'm looking for?" ”
Lu Keqin didn't see me fall, turned around and prepared to run up, but was reprimanded by Lu Dachuan for two sentences, and then reluctantly walked to me and sat down,
I saw that she was not scared at all this time, and asked curiously, "Why are you not afraid at all?" ”
Instead, she asked me strangely, "What's there to be afraid of, isn't it the same as the magical forest in Santa Takos, USA?" She then said to Lu Dachuan, "Yes, brother." ”
Lu Dachuan said curiously: "You can be crazy as much as you want." ”
Lu Keqin stuck out her tongue at her brother: "It's not all up to you, I took people to ride roller coasters and bungee jumps at such a young age, and now I have a problem." ”
Lu Dachuan couldn't cry or laugh,
I didn't bother to listen to his brother and sister arguing and asking, "What magic forest?" ”
Lu Keqin followed her brother's example and slapped me on the head: "No wonder my brother wants to clean you up, there is a very magical forest in the west of the town of San Francisco Santa Locals in California, USA, which is called the 'Magic Forest'.
At the entrance of this forest, there are two stone slabs 50 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide, which look the same as ordinary stones, not too far apart, and on the same level, but once a person stands on them, the person on one of the stone slabs will appear tall and large, and the person on the other stone slab will appear short and fat.
There is also a very steep trail in the middle of the forest, and the trees around the trail are inclined in one direction, when people walk on the path, the body inclination is almost parallel to the slope of the path, and pedestrians can not see their feet when they look down, but they can walk forward steadily.
There is also a log cabin in the forest, once a person enters the hut, the body will automatically tilt to the right, no matter how hard you try, you can't straighten your body, there is a wooden board on one side of the log cabin that stretches outward, no matter from which angle, the plank is oblique, but put a round ball such as a ping pong ball, the ball does not roll down, but rolls up; If you push the ball away from the board by hand, the ball will not fall vertically, but will fall diagonally along the board.
What's even more amazing is that in the cabin, people can not only stand on the walls of the house safely, but also walk freely without any auxiliary tools.
I remember when my brother took me to play, I thought it was so fun to stand on that wall, and I didn't want to come down, but now we are in the same environment as in the cabin, can I not go crazy? ”
After listening to Lu Keqin, I looked at Lu Dachuan and wanted to hear what he said, of course, I didn't believe what Lu Keqin said, but Lu Dachuan had the idea of anything for so long, so it became a habit to look at him when he encountered things.
Lu Dachuan said: "Keqin is right, the crater that the ship is driving into now is indeed the same as the ring in the forest, and they are all at 30 degrees north latitude, judging from the current situation, the cause of this unique situation is either the volcanic eruption that caused the earth's internal human beings to not know that the material reached the earth's surface, causing the gravity to deviate, or the big heads used some mysterious method to deliberately cause." ”
When they told me this, although I still thought it was mysterious, I was no longer so afraid, and I got up and walked to the side of the ship, holding on to the railing with both hands, and looked at the bottom of the crater, which was getting smaller and smaller illuminated by the searchlights of the ship, and I couldn't help but worry about where the ship would eventually go.
Lu Dachuan seemed to see through my thoughts, and walked over to stand beside me: "Don't worry too much, I just looked at it carefully, and I have analyzed it, the water in the dark river is constantly gushing, and there is no water in the crater, which means that there must be another way out at the bottom of the pit, maybe if you go down a little further and turn the steamer will get out of the volcano and go to another river; And most importantly, there is not the slightest fog on the water, which means that the temperature inside the crater is as high as the outside, which means that the volcano is dead, and there is no need to worry about us turning into grilled crabs. ”
"Say so, but how can you not worry, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is high in altitude and the crust is thick, but it can't stand us from walking towards the center of the earth, from the top of the pit hanging with the artifact down to the bottom of the cave There is a depth of one thousand meters, and after the giant ship sails vertically downward, although I don't know what force controls the speed of the free fall, but it is more than enough to fall six or seven hundred meters a minute, according to five hundred meters per minute, how can this time be five thousand meters, and the two add up to a depth of six thousand meters." I pointed to the big hole at the bottom of the pit that was getting closer and closer, "From the current location to the mouth of the pit that you can see with your eyes, there are 1,500 meters, let's count it as 7,000 meters according to one kilometer, these 7,000 meters are scary enough, boss, not to mention that the hole is still not known how deep it is, if there is another seven or eight thousand meters, won't we have to run to the center of the earth, how can we get out when the time comes." ”
Lu Dachuan was dumbfounded by my question, took out a cigarette and lit a cigarette and smoked it fiercely, one of his cigarettes was not half smoked, the giant ship had already driven down the last slope of the crater, and plunged into the big hole at the bottom of the pit, and the strange-shaped, uneven cave wall illuminated by the light continued to slide over our heads, although it was clear that we would not be hit, but still couldn't help squatting on the deck, and couldn't help but tremble......
Fortunately, this terrible section was not long, about three or four minutes later, the cave walls around us disappeared, and a body of water appeared at the end of our eyes, just when we were worried that the giant ship would plunge headlong into the water and did not know what to do, the bow of the ship seemed to be pulled by a force, and it was magically lifted, and then the hull of the ship fell smoothly on the water, and sailed forward as always,
In my panic, I glanced up and saw the bottom of the volcano above us hanging over a large river as if it had been erected by something.
When the giant ship reached the river below the volcano, it sailed faster, and we clearly felt the wind blowing in our face.
With the experience of using the searchlight last time, we didn't care about being afraid that the shadows in the boat room would unexpectedly find us trouble, and once again came to the top floor of the boat, Lu Dachuan controlled the searchlight that shone in front of the boat, and I controlled the other one that shone on the side of the boat, we wanted to see what was going on in the river below, and we shone in all directions, and our hearts were cold, because the places that our eyes could see in all directions were full of water, and the volcano we came down looked like only a small black shadow was left,
Is this still a river,
From putting down the searchlights to returning to the tent on the deck below, none of us said a word, as if we had collectively lost our souls.
After sitting silently for a long time, Lu Dachuan stood up and picked up the small broken bucket, carefully poured the little water in it into our kettle, and then pulled up the rope we used to fish and tied it to the bucket handle, threw it into the river and hung half a bucket of water, reached in and dipped it in his mouth and puffed his fingers, and then like a cow drinking water, he put his head into the bucket and drank a sip of water, and came out and said to us excitedly while chirping: "Fresh water, this is fresh water, don't be depressed, we can't die if there is water, are you hungry?" Set up the fire and I'll see if I can catch a fish. ”
When Lu Dachuan mentioned fish, I immediately felt a little sick to my stomach: "Can you change something else?" ”
Perhaps in order to restore our fighting spirit, Lu Dachuan became unprecedentedly gentle, picked up our backpack containing food, and rummaged in it: "There are compressed biscuits, chocolate, and half a sausage, and ...... There's even a piece of beef jerky, what do you want to eat. ”
My stomach reversed again: "I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, dried fried beans, cucumbers mixed with garlic, sharp pepper and fat sausages, fatty pork stewed cabbage vermicelli, and a big bowl of knife-cut noodles or dumplings......"
I said all the dishes that I had been hungry for since I was a child, and suddenly there was a sound of swallowing saliva in my ears, covering the sound of water flowing in the river.
Lu Dachuan also stretched his neck and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, stood up and threw the bag in his hand into my arms, and scolded: "Roll the ball, do you still have to give you a hot pot of wine." ”
"Wine is free, just a glass of watermelon juice."
Next to it was the sound of swallowing saliva,
I said these things that can't be eaten in the underground river, and everyone is half hungry, and the consequences can be imagined, they unanimously decided to let me do all the things that kill and wash fish in the future, and I protested for a long time to no avail, but we made a fuss, and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed.
Lu Dachuan did fish twice, and he didn't know what he hung on a hook bigger than a pork hook, and threw it into the water for a minute without moving, and there was a sound of waves rolling on the river.
"Looks like catching a big guy, come and help." Lu Dachuan stepped on the railing and clutched the rope with both hands and shouted,
Liu Changleg and I hurriedly ran over to help him retract the hook, I don't know how big the fish we caught, the strength is really not small, the three of us almost used the strength to eat, only to pull it up little by little, when it showed out of the side of the boat, scared us a lot, swallowing the hook is actually a big crocodile,
"You two hold on, I'll cut the rope." Liu Changleg pulled out his knife as he spoke,
"Don't, Zheng Shuang doesn't want to change the taste, in fact, Lao Tzu also wants to change the taste, get it up, let's eat roast crocodile today."
"Oh my god, how can I kill this?" Suddenly, I burst into tears,
