We didn't delay any longer, we used our limbs together, our whole body clinging to the bamboo body, like a frog slowly jumping up. Because the gap between the bamboos is small, even the cloth shoes are taken off. After climbing a distance of seven or eight meters, I still can't see the top, many branches are intertwined, there is no room to start at all, my toes are torn skin, and I can only give up halfway.

When I went down to the ground, Runzi grabbed a handful of bamboo leaves and said to me, "No, I can't climb to the top at all, if only I had a machete, those leaves are hard and prickly, it's so annoying that I can't pull it out." ”

"Then it might be easier for you to pull out one or two bamboos and leave a little space." I pointed to the bamboo roots.

"Look at me." Runzi shouted, kicked on the bamboo root and tried to be firm, spit into the palm of his hand and rubbed it back and forth, and then reached into the gap between the bamboo with his right hand, held the lower part with his left hand, and lifted it hard, instantly tensing up his whole body, "gurgling". His momentum is not lost to Lu Zhishen, who uprootes the weeping willows, or even more.

I don't know how strong Runzi is, but I know that in the village he recognizes the second, and no one dares to recognize the first. Sure enough, just as I expected, a thick bamboo was quickly uprooted by him, and at the same time turned out a piece of dirt. If we weren't out of danger, I'd like to give him a good salute, Junko always plays the key at the last minute.

But instead of falling, the bamboo was sandwiched between the other two. It took some more effort for Junko to pull it out and lay it to the side.

Junko gasped for breath on the side and said to me, "How is it, can you see the top?" ”

I shook my head, but I didn't have to look to know that there was no obvious light coming down, and it was still just as dark.

"Can you ...... again?"

"Okay, what do you say, what do I do, as long as you can get out, don't let me down on my strength." After finishing speaking, Runzi pulled out a bamboo plant in one go. After pulling out four plants in succession, Junko was already paralyzed on the ground, unable to say a word except for a heavy panting, and I knew that he had reached his limit.

The good news is that his efforts have paid off – the golden sun is shining directly in front of us. When I looked up, the bamboo here was at least twenty meters tall.

I was overjoyed and said, "Runko, can you do me another favor?" ”

"Okay, you say...... You said...... As long as I can get out, I can give you my life. Junko opened her mouth weakly.

"You lift me up from underneath, and I'll climb." I volunteered.

"That's all it can be, but let me rest for a while......"

After five minutes, Runko recovered a little, and her breathing sounded much slower.

We used the four bamboos diagonally in the space left for us to use as a ladder so that it would be much easier to climb up.

Junko patted herself on the shoulder and motioned for me to come up, and I stepped on his shoulder. We used all the strength upwards at the same time, and jumped more than three meters at once, and I took advantage of the momentum to use all fours together, and soon climbed to more than ten meters.

The sun was shining directly on my body, and I felt hot like never before. Shuttling through this chaotic branch, it was as if I was climbing a well full of thorns, and victory was right in front of my eyes, and it was coming soon, it was coming soon......

When I breathed in the fresh air again, my eyes were burned by the direct sunlight, and when I came to my senses, there was a vast black bamboo forest in front of me, and I didn't know how far away from the river bank I was now. But one thing I know for sure is that a special object appeared in my eyes - a taller tree nearly 100 meters in front of me to the right, shining yellow and golden in the sun, like a pearl in the deep sea. Its appearance is definitely not accidental, and perhaps getting there is the only way out for us at the moment. Just as I was about to go down and tell Junko, Runko also climbed up and squeezed into a place with me, and the small space was almost closed. He reacted the same way I did, squinting in the direction I was pointing. "What kind of tree is that, and how are we going to get there?" Junko asked in my ear. I reached into the bamboo leaf and tugged at it. "I also want to discuss with you, I'm afraid I'm going to get lost again from the bottom, and I don't know if it's strong above." Junko expressed doubts about my audacity. "You said that stepping directly on these bamboos is too risky, in case you step on them, you will lose your life." "Then do you have any other way," I pressed my hand flat on the bamboo leaf, and said, "It should work, I'm lighter than you, I'll try its bearing first." After saying that, I struggled out of the gap, and Junko didn't forget to push me again. My upper body threw itself on a pile of bamboo leaves, and I pressed out a shallow human form, and I probably had a sense of proportion in terms of softness and hardness. I dragged my lower body out, lay on it, and slowly stood up, a big stone in my heart fell to the ground, and it was the first time to stand on such a high place, and the whole person fluttered. Junko received my response, and carefully crawled out of the gap, swaying and balancing. We stood on our feet and began to walk towards the tree. There is no bottom under our feet, and the speed is very slow, which is similar to stepping on the beach, and the distance of nearly 100 meters took us more than 20 minutes. Fortunately, there was a thrill to the end. Only then did I see that in front of me was a laurel tree with lush branches and towering roots. The osmanthus tree in the middle of the bamboo forest is strange, and what surprises us even more is that the bottom of the osmanthus tree has been hollowed out, and it is facing our direction, only a thin half circle, and I don't know what strength it relies to support. I suddenly remembered what Dabao said - his second uncle fell into a tree hole, and when he climbed out of the hole, he saw that there was a laurel forest there, and this could be the tree hole. According to what Xiaobao's father said, after he climbed out, he saw a patch of laurel forest, but this is a bamboo forest, too far away, did he lie, or it is not the same tree hole, I can't judge for a while, I can only go down first. The bamboo forest under our feet is not connected to the laurel tree, so we can only go down the bamboo body to the ground first. It's not that difficult, we climbed over those bamboo leaves, and we followed the bamboo body, and our legs slid down. After landing, there is a sense of solidity, and I am glad that I finally left this strange black bamboo forest, and I hope this tree hole is the exit. Sure enough, there was still a lot of space under the tree hole, and I tried to sweep it with my legs, but the bottom of the black hole was empty, and I didn't know how deep it was. Runzi picked up a few small pebbles and threw them down, making a few slight muffled sounds, the sound should not be deep, and there was no hard mud in it, but something at the bottom, which also reassured us for the time being. I discussed it with Runzi and decided to go down to have a look, now it is a road in Huashan, and I can only go up hard. Junko said to me, "This time I'll go down first, and I'll call you if I have something." ”

Without waiting for me to stop her, Runko hunched down and got down from the hole in the tree, jumped down, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
