I shone the cyclops flashlight in the direction of the sound of the water. I heard the sound of 'sucking' in my ears, and without looking back, I could see Jack stretching his neck and looking

Direction towards the flashlight. It seems that the sound of the water is obvious, and Jack also hears it.

This direction is a little different from what I think is the direction of the underground river, but it is not very much, and it is within the acceptable margin of error. But at the end of the one-eyed flashlight, I didn't see water, not even water

See the sawdust dam that accompanies the shore of the underground river.

Jack was more nervous than I was.

"The sound of water. Da-ta-ta, what's going on? Click. Jack asked, his teeth chattering.

It seems that the severe pain did not make him lose his ability to think, only affected his ability to speak and move. How I wish it was the opposite.

I shook my head. "God knows how. Go over and take a look. ”

I was just about to take a step when Jack's hand grabbed my shoulder with a sudden force, as if to remind me of something. I turned my head.

"Something is wrong, Da Da Da, put me here, Da, you, Da, carry me, Da, Da, you can't run fast Da."

It's a touching sentence, let him say this, it becomes funny.

But I was still very moved, and I raised my hand and patted him on the head. "Are you afraid of death?"

Jack's head retracted, and he let out a disdainful voice, "Cut." Click. ”

I laughed. "A cigarette?"

A hand can't wait to reach out to my eyes. It seems that this thing has been endured for a long time.

I lit him a cigarette.

It's weird indeed. We went down the underground river and we couldn't hear the water for a long time, not even by the river. The speed of the underground river is imperceptible and more like an underground lake.

However, the sound of the water at this moment is like the sound of the rushing water rushing on both sides of the underground river, and the sound should be louder. Because I can't see the water, it means that the source of the sound of water is far away from me.

I was curious, and worry and fear were secondary. Originally, in my current state, not to mention carrying Jack on my back, I can't run away when I encounter a little danger. But we still have to find the sound of water

Go. If you don't drink some water, you'll die of thirst.

Not long after walking forward, the sound of the water became roaring, and there was really the momentum of thousands of horses galloping. If it weren't for the fact that I was familiar with the sound of underground cave water and the sound of hitting stones, I would have thought that this was not

water sound, but a cavalry of huge size.

"Water." Jack's observation point was higher than mine, pointing in one direction and shouting loudly.

I was almost crushed by him, and I had to catch my breath with every step I took. After looking closely, he noticed that there was a reflection of water at the end of the one-eyed flashlight.

It took me almost the last bit of strength to get to the underground river. Put down Jack and hurry to get water. It was like a fire in the throat. Fortunately, this place has high humidity, otherwise it would have been impossible to carry the water all the way

lived.

The aluminum alloy kettle is very light, but the hardness is not bad, all the way down, after countless bumps, only a few small pits on the kettle. The water was very cold, and I didn't dare to hold the kettle full of water. feel

The temperature is bone-chilling.

I estimate that the water temperature is close to freezing, which is very different from the temperature of the air. I'm wearing just one of Jack's jackets right now. I felt cold, but not to the point where I couldn't bear it. I guess at the moment

The temperature of the air is about 8 degrees, and the error should be very small. I didn't look at the temperature display on Jack's watch to confirm my estimate because I had this confidence.

It's a trouble for the water to be so low that you drink it like this. will speed up the passage of our body temperature. But there was nothing to start a fire here, and Jack and I could only barely drink a little. No way, dying of thirst

and freezing to death, we chose the latter.

The icy cold water made me feel like I was falling into an ice cellar, and the cold was generated from the body, and I could even feel the spasms caused by the stomach being stimulated by the ice water. The heat produced by my body. It's hard in a short period of time

Counteract the coldness of ice water. At this time, hunger rises again, replacing thirst as the most pressing problem.

Jack was no better off than me, his hands on his shoulders, his body still trembling slightly. But there is no food around, and it is difficult to find an earthworm now.

Jack and I were resting on the banks of the underground river, and I was so close to the underground river, but I didn't see the water of the underground river moving. Its surface is as still as a mirror.

We could still hear the sound of the water, the sound of the water in the lower reaches of the underground river, but it should be very close, I could feel the moisture, and the humidity suddenly increased.

"It looks like we're going to go hungry, there's no food here." I shrugged at Jack.

Jack still clasped his hands on his shoulders and trembled slightly, and said, "Then don't stay here, try your luck somewhere else." For example, on the water sound side, there may be a discovery. ”

I knew it was Jack's curiosity, and I wanted to see it, because it must have been spectacular. But I really don't have the strength to carry him away, and I'm weak now. Actually, I'm early

I expected that in my state, as long as I put him down, I would no longer have the strength to carry it.

Jack sat on the ground, his back not allowing him to lie down or lean his back against anything. And he also had to be careful not to pull on the wound, so he sat straight on the ground, like a vigilant mongoose.

I sat across from him tiredly, looking at him and not knowing what to say. I have no intention of abandoning him, but in this state, I can't afford to take him on. It looks like I'm going to keep him here for the time being.

As if seeing my embarrassment, Jack trembled and said, "I can go, you don't have to carry me, just help me." ”

This time the problem is solved, as long as I don't carry him, even if I hold him and hold him, I have no problem. Now that this problem is solved, there is no reason to waste time here and find food sooner

Things are our hope to live.

I carried Jack in my arms and set off downstream along the underground river. Soon, we came to the source of the sound of water.

As I expected, the underground river was already a lake here. At the end of the lake there is a huge, long dam with no end in sight, which is lower than the bank of the underground river, and the water of the underground river can

Spread up. The sound of the water comes from the other end of the dam, and it seems that the lake overflows the dam and flows to a deeper place, making a loud noise.

I was standing on the bank of the river, a little more than two meters below my feet, and the water was at the height of a palm's hand above the dam, and it flowed quickly but silently to the other side. This dam is not only long and invisible

The head, still very wide, the one-eyed flashlight can't shine on the opposite side.

I stood on the shore and stared carefully at the surface of the dam.

Jack was a little anxious and said, "Go ahead, go over there, I want to know where the water is going." ”

I didn't move. The water above the dam is clear and not deep, and the surface of the dam can be clearly seen under the one-eyed flashlight.

I had a feeling of familiarity, and suddenly I shuddered. Yes, I should have an impression of it. (To be continued......)
