Chapter 141: Reaching the Lower River
It's okay not to ask, this question, the big head is about to pinch my neck, but he can't let go. At first, I thought that Big Head was joking with me and deliberately didn't take his hand away, but then I saw Big Head struggling with sweat, and I realized that something was serious.
On top of that, the big head is still holding my neck, and the more he struggles, the tighter he squeezes, and I'm almost out of breath. After Datuan and Kong Sanye saw this, they immediately came over to help, and it took a lot of effort to remove the big head's hand from my neck, if I didn't take it away, I would probably suffocate to death, or be pinched to death by the big head.
I had been pinched just now, and it took a long time to recover, some of them were weak, holding the water handed to me by a large group, and some complained to Kong Sanye: "Kong Sanye, didn't you say that his arm couldn't move, how could he move when he pinched my neck just now." ”
Kong Sanye glanced at me, shook his head, ignored me, and continued to fiddle with the bottles and cans he fiddled with just now, I really don't know what to fiddle with.
After resting for about ten minutes, Kong Sanye waved his hand and prepared to go, Zheng Wen and they were walking from the river bank before entering the cave, so they felt a little familiar with the road, and it was also a very correct choice for them to let them walk in front and we followed them.
And they know better than we know where it's good to sleep at night and where it's dangerous, and which path is easier to follow. The reason why we are walking more than twice as fast now as when we came here is because Zheng Wen and the others had already opened the road when they came, and now we just need to go back along the road.
Because there was no vigil the night before, it directly led to the death of a person on Zheng Wen's side, and now he doesn't dare to stop the vigil at night, even if he feels safe, after all, this is within the scope of the ancient tomb, and any small mistake may be fatal.
"Qiangzi, why don't you sleep yet, are you still thinking about grandpa?" Big Head doesn't have to keep vigil tonight because of an arm injury, and I don't have to keep vigil because my previous injuries haven't been very good. The big head lay there tossing and turning, unable to sleep, so he simply turned around and began to speak directly to me.
I nodded, this is not a secret, everyone must know that I came to find grandpa. The big head stretched out his hand, patted me lightly on the shoulder and said, "Qiangzi, don't worry, you can always find it." ”
At this moment, looking at the concerned look of the big head, I really wanted to tell him that I had already met my grandfather, but after looking at Zheng Wen who was lying there, I still held back deeply, although they may have known that grandpa had been here, but it was better not to say anything.
"Well, it's okay, I can find it." I coped with the big head, turned around and patted him on the shoulder, smiled and scolded him a few words to let him raise his arm first to help me, the big head also said cheerfully, even if I let me give me an arm, I am not his opponent.
Big head is right, since I was a child, I never won a fight with him, which is why I take the big head with me and feel safer, to be honest, I have never seen a big head fight.
At night in the dense forest, it was very cold, but because they were so tired, everyone still slept soundly in this cold weather. Datuan and Lao Zhou took turns to keep vigil, and the dragon pattern knife was handed over to the two of them, which should be able to guarantee that nothing happened, and at worst, they could hold out enough to wake us up, so we didn't have any worries about safety.
When I woke up, it was already dawn. According to Kong Sanye's estimate, we will be able to go to the place where the water flow is relatively slow downstream tonight, and we will directly cross there to the other side of the river, and then go from the other side of the river to the ancient castle.
"Third Master Kong, what is this thing you gave me?" As soon as the big head woke up in the morning, he was abused again by Kong Sanye, injected it directly for a while, and stuffed him with a pale green bottle and asked him to take the liquid in it orally.
"If you want to drink it, you can drink it, it's not poison, poison can't kill you." Kong Sanye glanced at the big head, and after saying a cold word, he turned around and walked towards Zheng Wen and them. Seeing that Kong Sanye didn't answer his question, the big head didn't care at all, and directly pulled out the cap of the bottle and poured the liquid inside into his mouth.
When he first started drinking, Datou's expression was as sad as if someone owed him tens of thousands of dollars, but when he drank it in his mouth, his expression suddenly became extremely pleasantly surprised, until he finished drinking the bottle and put the bottle upright, so that the last drop also dripped into his mouth, and he looked unfinished.
"Big head, what makes you drink so carefully." The action of the big head just now was seen by Lao Zhou and Datuan, and there was a problem of contempt.
"Hey, good stuff, really good stuff." After the big head finished speaking, he actually put the bottles in the backpack, which made me and the big group of Lao Zhou even more curious, didn't the big head always hate Kong Sanye's bottles and cans, and even collected the bottles at this time, it seems that the things are definitely not bad.
After everyone was almost tidy up in the morning, Kong Sanye came back, and the big head hurriedly went up to ask if Kong Sanye was still there, and was scolded by Kong Sanye, and several of us were secretly laughing behind us. Later, I asked Kong Sanye on the way to find out that it was a healing medicine specially configured for the big head, the taste was sweet, and a small amount of poppy powder was added to it, which made the person who took it feel like a fairy.
However, there is a disadvantage that if you don't take too much, you may become dependent or even addicted. The bottle that Datou drank in the morning was already the maximum, and if he took it again, he might be addicted, so when Datou asked for it again, he would be scolded by Kong Sanye.
After about two hours of walking, we finally didn't have to walk through the mountains and forests, and we could go straight down to the riverbank. Although the banks of the river were full of large and small stones, and there were muddy pits, on the whole, it was much better to walk than in the woods above.
Zheng Wen is also a river digger, and he has been with Zhang Dahai for a long time, so he also knows the habits of the river very well. The water level of the river is relatively normal during the day, and if it is night, there is a high risk of flooding the bank where we are now, so we must reach the opposite side of the river before dark, otherwise we will have to go into the dense forest again.
Just when I was stuck in a quagmire and was dragged out by Datuan and Lao Zhou, I saw Zheng Wen and the others over there stop, and sent someone over to invite Kong Sanye over. Seeing that Kong Sanye and that person had solemn faces, something must have happened over there, and I and the four of Lao Zhou, the big head and the big group, also hurriedly walked over.
When I arrived at Kong Sanye's side, I found that several of them were surrounding a corpse, and the corpse was bitten all over the body, and from the corpse, it could be vaguely seen that the backpack was the same style as Kong Sanye, and this person was likely to be the team that entered the mountain together this time.
"Old Zhou, are they your people?" I saw that Lao Zhou was in a bad mood, and went over to ask him. We all know that Lao Zhou has a few brothers waiting for him outside the cave, but after coming out, they don't see those people.
Lao Zhou shook his head and said: "It's not a few of them, but I seem to have seen this person, it's the team next door to us, although the corpse is no longer recognizable, but that person's palm is deformed, so I remember it very clearly, it is exactly the same as the palm of this corpse." ”
I turned around again to look at the corpse carefully, and the palm of my right hand was really deformed, with all five fingers together. Lao Zhou was in a bad mood, maybe because he saw this person and began to worry about those people.
"Third Master Kong, what did these people bite to death?" The big head asked Kong Sanye with some curiosity, in this space, the animal we met may only be the monster that we killed, which makes us think that there are no other animals here except for that monster.
But when I saw the corpse in front of me, it was very obvious that some animal was going to die, and even the meat had been eaten a lot, and only the leg bones were left on the legs.
"Zheng Wen, Qiangzi, Big Head, that thing probably lives in the water, and we must go into the woods again to stay away from this river for our safety." Kong Sanye looked at the corpse for a long time, then turned around and said solemnly to the few of us.
"No, Third Master Kong, we don't have time, it's too slow to walk into the woods." As soon as Kong Sanye's words were finished, Zheng Wen answered, as if he was in a very hurry this time and had to arrive in a short time, but none of us knew why.
But I have an ominous feeling that it will have something to do with my grandfather. Thinking that my grandfather might go to the castle alone, I was a little worried, if he was with us, there was a dragon pattern knife, then coupled with the experience of grandpa and Kong Sanye, it would definitely be foolproof, but why did grandpa act alone, this is also a point I can't figure out.
"Hadron, what do you think?" Seeing Zheng Wen's resolute opposition, Kong Sanye turned around and looked at me. At the same time, Zheng Wen and a few of them, as well as the big head and the big group Lao Zhou, they also focused their eyes on me.
"Third Master Kong, I think what Zheng Wen said is right, we have to hurry over." I say this entirely because I'm worried about my grandfather. But now that Zheng Wen and I have both expressed their positions, then Kong Sanye can't stop him even if he wants to, so he has to continue to move forward with us.
This time, I was more cautious, but the further I went, the more corpses I saw, and sometimes I could see three corpses at once, each of which was the same as the one I had seen before, and had been bitten out of shape.
According to Zheng Wenhe's description, we know that animals that can bite three people at the same time are at least the size of a truck, or small but numerous. Now for us, whether it is a large number or a large individual, it is a troublesome matter, that thing is a complete carnivore, even people dare to eat it.
After a few more hours of walking, the river finally calmed down, and we were fortunate not to meet the murderer.
"Third Master Kong, let's start crossing the river here, the water level here has been able to swim very smoothly." Zheng Wen, who was walking in the front, stopped and said to Kong Sanye in the back.
A few of us also followed Kong Sanye and walked to Zheng Wen's side and stopped. Looking at the gently flowing river, it was blood-red and a little gloomy. Compared to the turbulent river upstream, it is more than a little flat, and crossing the river from here is undoubtedly a very good option.
It's not far downstream, and you can get to the other side of the river directly from the river bank to the downstream, and then enter the castle again. The only concern I had to worry about was the animals I had seen biting people before, and I didn't know if they were hiding in the river.
"Third Master Kong, I'll pull a rope over first, so that you guys will be better off." Datuan looked at the other side of the river, took the dragon pattern knife in his hand and said to Kong Sanye.
