22. Tiankeng
In an instant, the ghost woman walked up to me silently, and my whole body began to tremble, and I could hear the chatter of my teeth, not fear, but the feeling of bursting into it.
The ghost woman's face is basically formed by folds, the head is surprisingly big, but it is a complete child's face, she is leaning over, standing behind me and looking at me, I trembled and turned around slowly, wanting to shout loudly, but I can't roar, that kind of horror is definitely no less than you watching a ghost movie alone at night and finding a ghost sitting next to you.
I looked at the girl, my eyes were full of fear, and then she screamed first as if she had a burst of "ah", and I was suddenly awakened by her scream, I still had a knife in my hand, and I tried to gather the strength of my body and slash towards the ghost woman. This time, I almost used all the strength of my body, but I didn't hit myself at once, but I fell down first, plus I used too much force, and more than half of my body was stuck in the swamp, and I couldn't move.
"You're endless! Stop screaming. "I avoided the ghost woman and stopped the girl's voice loudly.
"What then?" You're going to be eaten by her.
I laughed in my heart when I heard this, eat your sister! This thing is more disgusting than just eating adults! Sure enough, the ghost woman walked around me, slowly carrying a wooden barrel, and without saying a word, she poured it on me, and those things were like honey, sticky, but fortunately I had the mask to block it and not be quickly made into amber.
"Can you tear the rope off." I shouted.
"No, no." She almost collapsed, as if she saw the ball of meat beside her, and her whole voice was distorted and in a state of madness.
"You try." My voice calmed down, the chances of living now seem to be very slim, but I am still a blank until now, it is false to say that I am unwilling, but what else? Suddenly, I was a little impatient, not for anything else, but for the sake of dying early.
"Me." She dragged a long note and seemed to be slowly calming herself down, her voice with a crying tone.
"Don't cry, even if you cry, you have to cry and untie your rope." I spoke to her through the mask, surprisingly calm.
The moment was amazing, it really felt like we were chatting, completely undisturbed by the atmosphere. Then there was silence, I turned my back to her, I didn't know what she was thinking, I just heard a little rubbing, but slowly I couldn't even hear it.
Fixed my eyes, the first thing I saw was a pair of white little feet, the corpse spots on it were densely covered, it was obviously a pair of children's feet, but the white was numb, I don't know if anyone had ever seen the floating corpse in the water, the corpse was soaked in water as if it was transparent, and the original color of the skin was infinitely whitened and swollen, and finally it looked like a white and chubby little fat man, now what I see is such a pair of feet, her body is covered under a ragged clothes, the clothes are green and strange in the jungle obvious, But with a hint of weirdness.
"Whew" my mask started to get hot, "Is it fire?" It's burning me with fire, is that how all those human skins were concocted? And the honey-like stuff continued to pour downwards except for the fire, and slowly my vision blurred, and my ears were filled with the sound of crackling fire.
Then I felt the earth tremble, that feeling like an earthquake, and in a few seconds, I was suddenly pressed by something, and then the slender body of that thing slid past me little by little, and finally I was completely squeezed into the swamp, and just as I didn't have time to sigh that death was coming so quickly, the space around me began to collapse, and then the restraints around me were gone, just the mask was gagged, I couldn't see what was around me, I just felt myself falling, infinitely falling, In the end, it was dark in front of him, and he didn't feel anything
The boundless darkness, I don't know how long it took, I was woken up, I really opened my eyes, the surroundings were like the scene in the haha mirror, I touched the mask with my hand, it was a layer of grease-like things, I subconsciously wanted to take off the mask, but I found that I couldn't take it off, slowly my ears seemed to be able to hear, I heard someone calling me, I wanted to answer, but I still couldn't move, and then it was darkness again.
So sleepy.
When I woke up again, I saw the girl sitting next to me, who had tied her hair with the bark torn from the branches, leaving only a few sideburns hanging down to her ears, and the back was delicately tied up.
"Hello." I was speechless for a while, I can only say this.
But she didn't even stupidly reply, "Hello." ”
This time I was speechless, really speechless, and slowly opened my mouth to adapt to the opening and closing of my mouth, "You called me before?" ”
"yes. But I don't know your name, I can only call you a mask. ”
"Ahem, it's not as good as noodles." It's a nonsensical sentence, but it makes the girl giggle.
"What's your name?" She asked again.
"I don't know." I was so quick and then I just kept my mouth shut, and I looked around and realized that I was leaning against the body of the green snake.
Maybe she felt embarrassed, and the girl thought for a while and said to me, "My name is Hu Yinman." ”
"Eh" I don't know what to say now, other girls themselves are so active, then I'm even more embarrassed" My name is noodles. ”
"Poof" Hu Yinman laughed. Then she said slowly, "I was about to cut the rope before, but suddenly this big snake came out, and it hovered over you, I have never seen such a big snake!" I've been growing in the mountains for more than a decade, and I've only seen snakes that long at best. She was very cute, and compared it with her hand, "More than ten meters." ”
"Huh." I smiled "And then?" ”
"Don't use it, hehe." She said to me suddenly with a straight face.
“。” I didn't know how she could be like this, so I had to laugh "hehe" without any mistake.
"Don't hehe. Like a pervert. "She's imposing.
I was a little embarrassed and hurriedly changed the subject: "Did the snake crush the swamp and we all fell down?" ”
"yes." She pouted, jumped onto the snake's body, looked at me from top to bottom, and shook her slender thighs.
"But what kind of place is this?" I stood up and suddenly asked about a foul and scratching smell.
"I didn't know it was like a sinkhole." She blushed, "But I know what's under the swamp?" It's bird droppings, so it's stinky, it's stinky. ”
"It's a little bit." I sniffed and said.
"It just stinks." She kept pounding her thighs with her hands, kicked her feet in the air, and shouted loudly.
"Okay, okay." I stood up, ignoring the details, looked at the place, and looked up, and there was a pothole on the top, very large, the size of a football field, which had been closed by tree poles, but now it was completely crushed by snakes, so there were only a few bare rocks on it, and there were branches hanging from the vines. Below was a small pothole, which was filled with all sorts of solid-like things, probably guano as Hu Yinman was talking about, and I struggled to climb onto the back of the snake and look out over the area.
Suddenly, something hit me in the arm, slowly getting more and more.
I looked up and said, "It's raining?" ”
"Seems like so." Hu Yinman also stretched out his palm.
I looked at the sky, because it is a sinkhole, trees, and bamboos are relatively numerous, but after all, it is a blank area, so the giant trees that cover the sky have not spread to this place, I just looked at the sky intuitively, it was originally a little black sky, and suddenly it became like a dead man's face, pale, and brighter and brighter, this kind of brightness is not comparable to the feeling of the noon scorching sky, but like that kind of searchlight, countless searchlights shine towards you.
"It's rainstorm." Hu Yinman's face was a little pale, only when she grew up in the mountains for a long time knew that the rainstorm was terrible at this moment. But I looked around by that light. This is a typical "karst funnel landform", the bottom of the pit is about 30 stories high from the ground, I really don't know how I fell down at the beginning, but the pit wall here is steep all around, and there is a path on the northeast cliff that leads from the middle of the pit to the bottom of the pit. Looking at the opposite side from my angle, I can see that the pit wall has two levels of terraces.
Located on the first level of the platform closest to the ground, it is 2-10 meters wide, and it seems that you can climb up to the ground from there, but the second level of the platform is half the height of the first level. The height of the sinkhole is basically shallow, but the sinkhole here does not have a passage to the ground, which means that she and I are completely trapped here. The walls of the pit were sloping and overgrown with wild flowers, and there were several hanging springs on the pit wall, which were basically filled with dust and guano, and all of them fell into a crack in the ground directly opposite me, which was supposed to be an underground river.
And we also have some dripping mountain springs hanging down like door curtains, which are beautiful.
"It's not a sinkhole. It's too small. Hu Yinman said to me that we should find a way out of the mountain.
"It's fine." I agreed, looking around.
"Then let's go somewhere else first, it's not a way to stay here all the time." She spoke.
Sure enough, the children who grew up in the mountains were frightened at most when they encountered this situation, and they would not have too much panic, but were surprisingly calm. That's a good thing for me. “ok。” I jumped down first, and as soon as I landed, I realized that the guano was a little scary, almost up to my calves, and I struggled to walk a few steps forward, trying to get to a place where the terrain was relatively high, and immediately found that something was not right, it seemed that my body was still sinking a little bit.
"Poof" I fell into the middle, I could clearly feel it underneath, but fortunately, I grabbed a bamboo beside me with my eyes and hurriedly shouted, "What's the matter?" Isn't this the bottom? ”
"I don't know." Hu Yinman was also a little panicked.
"Good, good." I thought about it, she was still a girl after all, and I couldn't count on her anymore. Hurriedly reassured.
I grabbed the dead bamboo and skimmed it off a little hard, but there was still a piece at the bottom, and I pulled it hard, and it was not bad and strong. I took a breath and pulled the bamboo violently, snapped the bamboo and broke and my whole person fell completely in, poof, my feet seemed to touch something, as if it was electrified, I immediately shrunk up, but helplessly I look like I can't move, I can't move, I can't move, "hey" I gasped a breath of cold air, it turned out that there was a flow of water below, and it was very turbulent, "There is a flow of water below." I shouted.
"Generally, the bottom of the sinkhole is connected to the underground river." Hu Yinman hurriedly said: "You have to be careful not to be washed away by the water, then the river below is like a maze and you will never come back." ”
"You've learned a lot." I struggled to tell her that I was in a very bad situation right now, and that I was looking at the sky, and it was getting paler and paler, and the clouds were rolling in the sky like day.
"It's a kind of extra-large karst negative terrain. We learned it in books. You have to be careful. She said intermittently, "There's a bamboo tree behind you, you grab it and climb out." ”
"I know, I know." I tried to calm my tone so that I didn't stir up her emotions. In fact, she doesn't care about my life and death, but if I die, she will only be more afraid if she stays here alone, even if she is a child who grew up in the mountains, you must know that people's fear increases with age, because the longer you live, the more you understand, the more you are afraid.
I turned around a little bit, lit the stone in the water under my feet, and carefully reached for the bamboo, and I grabbed it. Taking a deep breath, this time I didn't break it off and use it as a rope, but slowly used my hand to bring myself out, because I knew that this was not a pit, it was hollow underneath without a trace of obstruction.
After 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, a long time, I finally crawled out, and after a little squirming to the edge of the sinkhole, I climbed onto the back of the snake, and before I could have a joke with Hu Yinman, the sky went dark in an instant.
Then a bright light cut through the sky from top to bottom, illuminating the sky like a mosquito dragon, and the torrential rain came as scheduled. The sky and the earth are hazy, as high as a five-story building, and the big trees that need to be hugged by ** people can only be hugged by the wind, and the leaves are blowing fiercely, and the leaves have fallen to the ground.
