Chapter 101: Blood River Falls
Hearing my words, Datou, Datuan and Kong Sanye looked at the river at the same time. Under the dim and faint light of the flashlight, the blood-red river water was even more permeable.
"Hadron, is this fucking blood? We didn't even notice just now, crawling out of it. The big head looked at the blood-red river and took two steps back, and asked with some fear.
However, Kong Sanye's face remained unchanged and said to the big head: "This is definitely not blood, we just crawled out of it, we didn't smell blood, this is water, it's just like blood." ”
The big head looked at the blood-red river, and still asked with some disbelief: "Qiangzi, what Kong Sanye said is true?" ”
I nodded and said to the big head, "Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, you can go to the river and fill it with some water, and you will know if it's blood or water." ”
Unexpectedly, after listening to my words, the big head really went to get a plastic bottle and filled a bottle of water, put it under the flashlight and looked at it carefully, there was no blood red in the river, just ordinary water.
"Third Master Kong, what's going on, didn't you and Qiangzi say that this is a blood river, why is it all water?" The big head saw that the bottle was filled with water, not blood, and seemed a little unhappy.
No wonder Kong Sanye said that those blood Gu worms that might appear near the Blood River would appear halfway up the mountain. Blood Gu worms feed on blood, and the blood flowing in this blood river is indeed water, so blood Gu worms will not appear here. Then, the blood Gu worm appeared on the mountainside, and it only came down in that generation, it seems that there must be a secret there.
It's just that now is not the time for us to look for that secret, and that secret has little to do with us now. found Qinchuan Blood River, and it was one step closer to finding grandpa.
But now there is a problem that has stuck us, what do we do next? Grandpa's diary only recorded these words, and the two most important pages in it had been torn out.
"Third Master Kong, what should we do next?" I looked at Kong Sanye, hoping that he could give us some guidance on what to do next.
Kong Sanye took the flashlight and looked around, pondered for a long time, shook his head, and said to me: "I don't know where your grandfather will be, let's take a step at a time, let's go inside along the river first, maybe we can find your grandfather's traces, so it will be easy to find." ”
There is no way, and now it can only be like this. In this naturally formed cave, the river flows slowly, without making any sound, only the footsteps and breathing of the four of us on the shore, and the atmosphere is a little oppressive for a while.
"Qiangzi, do you think grandpa will really come here, why do I always feel that there is nothing here." After walking forward for a while, it was getting darker and darker, and I didn't find anything, and the big head came to me a little breathlessly and asked.
I was also a little suspicious, and after walking for almost half an hour, the river seemed to have no end, and there was no trace of it in the cave. looked at Kong Sanye, who was supported by the big group next to him, with an indifferent look on his face, as if he was confident, so I said to the big head: "Let's go inside and take a look, maybe you can find some clues inside." ”
After hearing what I said, the big head stopped talking and continued to follow me. After about two hours of walking, the cave began to get narrower and narrower, and it also began to show a downward trend. The river became more and more turbulent, and the cave remembered the loud sound of the river flowing.
"Qiangzi, take a rest, the road ahead may be difficult to walk, everyone eat something to replenish some strength." Kong Sanye turned around and shouted at me and Datou.
We didn't talk much, but found a clean place to sit down, took some food out of our backpacks, and started eating.
The big head moved from my side to Kong Sanye's side, and asked him: "Kong Sanye, this river is getting more and more urgent, will there be a road ahead, if we fall, it is estimated that we will not be able to get out, are we going the wrong way, or a different way?" ”
When I went over from the big head to ask questions, I pricked up my ears and listened. Kong Sanye looked at the big head, then picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the river, and said to the big head: "What we want to find is the Qinchuan Blood River, this is what Grandpa Qiangzi's diary says, we should not go wrong, changing the road is equivalent to no clues, we have to continue walking." ”
Kong Sanye's stone was thrown into the water, and only a small sound was heard, and it was washed away by the turbulent river. He was right, Qin Chuan Blood River, almost thinking about the only clue left by his grandfather, if he wants to find his grandfather, now it is only possible to hold on to this clue. The other way, we don't have a clue.
After eating a few bites, resting for a while, and replenishing our strength, we set off again. This time, the road became more and more difficult, due to the topography, the river water would often splash up and fall on the bank, resulting in a slippery riverbank, and it was even more difficult to walk because of the downhill road.
The further down we went, the larger the impact of the river became, and at the end of the day, all we could walk was a foot-wide trail. As a result, we have to be careful with every step we take.
In this way, only one person can pass the road, and the four of us can only cross one by one. Datuan put down Kong Sanye and walked in the front to explore the way, Kong Sanye followed behind Datuan, and the big head walked at the end.
After walking down for a while, Datuan suddenly turned around and shouted loudly at us: "Third Master Kong, Qiangzi, there is no road ahead, and there is a big waterfall below." ”
Due to the sound of the water, the large group had to shout loudly. When I heard that there was a waterfall in front of me, my first feeling was that I needed a rope ladder to go down, so I pulled the rope ladder out of my backpack and shouted to the group: "How high is the waterfall, is this length enough?" ”
"It's long enough, but it's a hadron, there's no road down there, it's all water. And there's nowhere to fix it. The group turned and continued to shout at me.
It's all water, and if it's deep, we'll just jump down and swim to the shore, which we've done before. After I said this thought, Kong Sanye shook his head.
"Hadron, it's too dark in here to see anything. We don't know what's going on in the water below, and it's dangerous to jump. "Kong Sanye seems to disagree with my statement, but what he said is also very right, and we don't have any good ideas for a while.
"Qiangzi, Kong Sanye, what should I do?" Da Tuan was a little anxious, when I said jumping down just now, he was ready to throw his backpack, and Kong Sanye's words made him stop his movements.
Kong Sanye and I can't answer him now, if we want to continue to advance along the Blood River, we must go down, but it is too dangerous to go down. The flashlight shone on the blood-red waterfall and the dark pool below, looking like the mouth of a monster waiting for us to enter.
"Datuan, come back first, let's discuss it and then make a decision." I stood there and looked at the waterfall, and I felt that my legs were weak, the drop of more than ten meters, the deafening sound, and the blood-red river water made people rush to fear from their hearts.
The four of us retreated again, and this time we didn't even have a place to sit, but only to stand on the shore path that was wide for one person.
"Qiangzi, do you have to look along this river of blood to find your grandfather?" Datuan asked me in the middle across Kong Sanye.
"I only know that this is the only clue left by my grandfather, and I don't know where to start elsewhere." I looked at the rushing river and felt irritated.
The big head was also a little anxious in the back, and shouted loudly: "That strong son, what are you hesitating about, only there are clues here, if you go out, won't you find it again, what are we working so hard all the way for?" ”
Of course, I came to find my grandfather, but now this place is different from the outside. If we jumped a few of us, we really couldn't get up, and if we got separated, it would be even more dangerous.
While I was still hesitating, Grand Master exhaled, as if he had made a big decision. shouted at us: "Qiangzi, Kong Sanye, I'll go down first, I'll give a flashlight when it's safe." "The reason why I dare to say this is because the flashlight is waterproof, so it is not easy to break even if it enters the water.
"Datuan, don't go yet, think about it again, it's dangerous to go on like this." I was a little worried, and shouted loudly to the group, but the group passed over as if he didn't hear it.
I was about to go over and grab the big group, but I was pulled by the big head behind me and said: "Qiangzi, let him go first, he has a good water nature, and there will be nothing wrong." ”
As he spoke, he saw Datuan standing beside the waterfall, turned his backpack to his chest, and jumped deep into the deep pool below the waterfall.
The three of us hurriedly walked a few steps forward, looking towards the deep pool below the waterfall, only to see the light of the flashlight falling down at a rapid speed. A "plop" sound sounded into the water, and the light of the flashlight became dimmer and dimmed, and after a while, there was no trace at all.
Seeing this scene, my heart rose to my throat, and I have been praying in my heart that there will be no danger in the large group of people. For more than ten seconds, there was still no movement, and this short period of ten seconds was as long as several hours.
Finally, more than ten seconds later, a dim light and shadow in the pool of water slowly rose. It was a large group of flashlights that floated up from the pool.
But when the flashlight floated up, it stayed there silently, not moving. Only the flashlight floated up, but the mass was gone, which made several of us feel a sinking heart.
"Datuan, you fucking squeak, come out." The big head shouted into the pool with some impatience, but it was too close to the waterfall, and the sound of the big head was almost completely drowned out by the sound of the waterfall.
Seeing that there was still no movement below, the big head was anxious, and pulled me and Kong Sanye behind, and stood on the side and said to me and Kong Sanye: "Qiangzi, Kong Sanye, I'll go down to see what's going on, if we also come out, you can go back quickly." ”
After speaking, he was about to turn around and jump down, Kong Sanye grabbed the big head, pointed to the pool below and said, "Big head, strong son, look there." ”
Looking down along Kong Sanye's hand, I saw that on the edge of the pool of water, another flashlight lit up, and it was circling clockwise towards us. That's right, that's right, we said before, clockwise circles indicate safety.
Seeing that the big group was safe, a few of us breathed a sigh of relief, and the big head also burst into a foul mouth: "Damn, I'm worried about it." Although he said this, the excitement on his face became stronger and stronger.
We also held a flashlight on top and made a few clockwise circles downwards to respond to the big group. Then the big head let go, pushed Kong Sanye to the front, and let him jump second.
Kong Sanye is old, and such a jump is indeed a challenge for him. But fortunately, the big group has already gone down, and with the water nature of the big group, there shouldn't be anything wrong with Kong Sanye.
Sure enough, not long after Kong Sanye went down, the two flashlights below were clockwise. After Kong Sanye went down safely, it was my turn, standing next to the waterfall, taking a deep breath, jumping forward, and jumping directly towards the black deep pool.
