Chapter 223: Falling into the Cave
Lao Wu touched the big bag on the back of his head, grinning and thinking about what happened just now, but he couldn't remember anything, as if he had really broken his brain.
"Hey, I say, what are you doing there? Come and eat some fish, I just grilled it, oops, it's so damn fragrant, don't burn your mouth! Hu Da was shirtless, and he was still holding several branches of the fish in his hand, and picked a big one and handed it to Lao Wu for him to eat.
Looking at the roasted black fish with a burnt aroma in front of the meeting, Lao Wu was really hungry, and he took a few bites without thinking too much about it. This taste is really good in the mouth, the skin of the fish is very crispy, the fish meat is very tender with a special fragrance, this taste is somewhat familiar, and after eating the next bite, I suddenly remembered that this is not the taste of black copper taro sandalwood? Thinking of this, he quickly took the fish away and stared at it over and over again.
Hu Da Arm was eating hard, and he couldn't see Lao Wu looking at the fish with straight eyes, he thought that Lao Wu thought the fish was too delicious, so he was dumbfounded, chewing the fish and saying a little vaguely: "I said, hey, I said Lao Wu, have you never eaten such a delicious fish?" Actually, it's not that the fish is delicious, but that my baking skills are good, no matter what you get, as long as you can put it in your mouth and swallow it, I can bake it for you. ”
Listening to Hu Da's nonsense, Lao Wu turned his head to look at him in a daze and said, "This, where did you get this fish?" ”
Xiao Qiba clicked his mouth and said, "Brother Niu fished out in the pool, there are a lot of them, big brother, eat quickly!" ”
"Pool? What pool? We, aren't we underground? Where's the pool? Lao Wu asked with some surprise.
As a result, Hu Dabao and Xiao Qi looked at each other after hearing this, Hu Dazhu looked at Lao Wu and said, "Lao Wu, aren't you really stupid?" Did you forget that we fell into the water? ”
Xiao Qi was afraid that Lao Wu would not understand, so he hurried to Hu Dabao and said, "Yes." Big brother, you let the wooden board smash and stun, and the way down became a big hole. We managed to come by holding on to the roots of the trees on the edge of the cave, and you fainted. The second brother and Da Niu carried you and Professor Guan on their backs, and it took a lot of effort to come down. ”
Speaking of this, Lao Wu seemed to think of something, straightened up and looked around, the surroundings were very dark and silent, their voices were very hollow, as if they were in a huge cave, the fire was burning in the distance, and the big cow nodded at him.
Hu Dazhu picked up the fish bones next to the candle firelight, and said a little strangely: "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, we don't know if we can have the life to eat the next meal." Even if you die, you can't be a starving ghost. Xiao Qi lowered his head after hearing this, and didn't speak for a long time.
Lao Wu felt that something was wrong with the place he was, and the atmosphere was even more wrong, he was about to stand up with one hand, but he didn't expect to touch the cold water, he looked back with some surprise, only to find that behind him was a sparkling pool, with a cold breath a little cold. Underneath is a relatively fine sand, very moist and sticky. There is a feeling of being by the lake.
Just as he thought of this, a large stone slab suddenly fell from the sky, and fell into the waterhole with a "poof", smashing a large splash, and watering Lao Wu and the three of them to the cold.
"Oh, why, why is it so inch. I had to be re-roasted, and I got wet before I could eat a few bites. Hu Dafang wiped a handful of rain on his face and chattered bitterly.
Lao Wu nervously asked them, "What's the matter?" Where is this? How did we get here? ”
Hu Dazhu pointed to it and said, "It should be said that it fell."
For the passage they had walked through had been eroded by the black sap that had erupted from the roots. There was no way down the road, so I had to go along the side and grab the remaining roots. There is a distance of about four or five meters that is suspended in the air. It was pitch black down there, and I don't know where it was. But it's certainly not good to fall. Maybe because he still had to carry Lao Wu and Professor Guan on his back, when he climbed the remaining roots, he couldn't bear the weight of five people, so he directly cracked and fell into the corroded deep hole with a cave wall.
The place where they fell was a huge cave with a deep pool at the bottom, but fortunately there was so much water, otherwise they would have all fallen to their deaths if they fell from such a high place. But the water in the pool is cold to the bone, and the frozen people are stiff all over, and they are almost entangled in those tree roots and drowned in the water, which can be described as nine deaths. In the end, I finally found a place to expose the water, and several people dragged each other by shouting and shouting, but fortunately, there were no fewer people.
Lao Wu looked at the fire in front of Da Niu, and asked Xiao Qi strangely, "How did you get that fire?" ”
Hu Dazhu sniffed and said: "I found a fire fold in your pocket, fortunately this thing is made by me with a small bamboo tube, there is no advantage that it is moisture-proof and waterproof, isn't it all roots, let's just use it as firewood, not to mention that these broken wood are quite resistant to burning." ”
After finishing speaking, seeing that Lao Wu wanted to ask something, Hu Dafang hurriedly dragged him to stand up, dragged him to the side of the fire and said: "Don't ask, you're almost annoying me, come and bake the fire to warm up, just wait for you to wake up, and think about how to leave here." ”
Da Niu sat next to the fire, his face was illuminated by the fire, and he still had that wooden expression, and when he saw Lao Wu and them coming, he quickly moved some places and let Lao Wu sit down, and then handed over a freshly roasted and smoking fish for Lao Wu to eat.
The fire was burning, the flames were more than one person high, the face standing next to the roast was hot, and the damp clothes on the body were half dry.
Lao Wu was really hungry, and this time he was not polite, he took the fish and ate it in a big gulp, and said while eating: "Don't say it, this fish is quite delicious, and the taste is different from the fish in our river, it seems that I am really hungry, you can eat it too!" As soon as he looked up and saw that his brothers were all looking at him, Lao Wu hurriedly said that they should eat it too.
The fish he ate weighed about a catty, and the skin of the fish didn't know if it was roasted black or the original color, anyway, it looked very strange, and he had never seen it before. As soon as he was halfway through eating, Lao Wu remembered something, he quickly looked around and saw Professor Guan behind Da Niu.
This guy was lying on his side with his back to them, as if he noticed Lao Wu's gaze, so he slowly turned his head, showed a smile to Lao Wu, and lay back again.
Lao Wu stopped and slowly put the fish down, he squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth as if he thought of something, and then suddenly asked Professor Guan out loud: "Lao Guan, do you know that this kind of thing will happen?" That's why you said you couldn't go back, and we delayed the time, the steps were corroded and collapsed, and then we took the risk to pass and failed, that's why you ended up like this, and you lied to me!
