Just as I was stunned, I suddenly heard Xiaohui shouting my name in the cave.

I hurriedly ran into the cave, and was about to tell him what happened last night, but suddenly remembered that Zhang Ya had warned me in a dream that I should not drink others to talk about this matter.

I remembered that the little mute had also appeared in my dreams before, and had warned me about something, but I didn't listen, and then I really ran into danger.

After thinking about it for a while, he was not going to tell Xiaohui about it for the time being.

Xiaohui asked me what was wrong, and he didn't look very good.

I casually made an excuse that I didn't sleep well last night, and then intentionally or unintentionally prepared to trample the footprints on the ground, but I glanced down and said, hey! Strange!

Just now I saw the footprints of two people, but now I am the only one left, and the other row of footprints has disappeared inexplicably!

"I'm starving, but there's nothing to eat!"

Xiaohui didn't notice my abnormality, rubbed his eyes and looked for food in the backpack with sleepy eyes, and after turning it over for a while, he complained, "Damn, there are only a few pieces of hard bread, and the kettle is empty, how can I eat this!" ”

I gave him a blank look and said that it would be good to eat something.

After saying that, I walked over, picked up a piece of bread, tore a slice and chewed it in my mouth, it felt dry and hard.

After Xiaohui chewed it, he clamored for milk.

I got angry when I looked at him, this kid is used to being pampered on weekdays, and he still wants to be with milk at this time.

I said to him, "If you want to drink milk, find the cow and squeeze it yourself!" ”

Xiao Hui pursed his lips, stood up and sighed, "Hey, life is hard! ”

There was definitely no milk, but the fog at the entrance of the cave had cleared a lot, and it seemed that it would be completely dissipated by noon.

I asked Xiaohui to wait in the cave, and I went out to look for water, and not long after I walked out, Xiaohui came out, saying that his throat was so thirsty that he was smoking, and he wanted to go with me to find water.

After taking two steps, he suddenly asked me, "Do you have a water bottle with you?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that I was empty-handed, and I came out to look for water, but I didn't even bring a kettle.

"Stupid, why don't you go back and get it!"

I said you're stupid, you selfish devil, you won't bring the kettle for me.

Xiaohui shook the kettle in his hand and smiled, "I did it on purpose, and I was not convinced to bite me!" ”

I was so angry that if I hadn't been able to beat him, I would have felt the urge to beat him.

I had to go back to the cave to get the kettle alone, but as soon as I walked to the entrance of the cave, I heard movement inside, and tiptoed in to take a look, and saw Xiaohui sitting there in a good manner!

"I'm back so soon!" Xiaohui in the cave, as soon as he saw me, walked over happily, looked at my empty hands, and said, "Damn, didn't you go out to find water?" What about water? ”

I stared at him for a moment before asking, "You've been in the cave and haven't gone out?" Didn't follow me to fetch water? ”

He said, "Nonsense, it's not a difficult thing to fetch water, why go to so many people!" ”

I carefully looked at the Xiaohui in front of me from head to toe, whether it was his appearance, his voice, or even his expression, I couldn't see any clues.

And who was the guy who was fetching water with me just now?

I suddenly began to panic, and I was about to tell him what had just happened, but a thought popped into my head.

I pretended to be casual and said to him, "You kid, you ate all the chocolates last night, and you didn't leave me a piece, it's really not funny." ”

Xiaohui smiled, "When I go back, I'll buy a car to compensate you." ”

I pouted, "Who is rare!" ”

As I spoke, I walked outside, and as soon as I reached the entrance of the cave, I immediately began to run.

All the chocolates we bought before entering the mountain were in Long Xiaoman's backpack, and we didn't have them at all, I just asked tentatively, and the "Xiaohui" followed my words.

This can only show one point, that Xiaohui in the cave is fake!

I met Xiaohui walking back with a kettle on the way, and I saw him without saying a word, grabbed the kettle in his hand and poured it into his stomach.

"Damn, you leave some for Lao Tzu, your own kettle!"

Xiaohui snatched the kettle back, looked at my panting appearance, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you, go back and get a kettle and be tired like this?" ”

I hurriedly told him what happened just now, and Xiaohui immediately stopped doing it when he heard it, "Damn, what is so bold, you dare to pretend to be a master, go, go back and see!" ”

When I got to the cave, I didn't see any trace of the fake Xiaohui, but I found that Xiaohui's sleeping bag was bulging, and there seemed to be something inside.

"What's the matter, dare to pretend to be a master, get out of Lao Tzu!" Xiaohui yelled at the bulging sleeping bag.

But the sleeping bag still didn't move, Xiaohui scolded a few more words and didn't respond, and finally walked over cautiously and kicked lightly with his toes.

The sleeping bag suddenly rolled around on the ground, then burst open with a thud, and a black figure the size of a basin flew out of it.

Squeak –

The black shadow let out a sharp sound, fluttered in mid-air a few times, and then rushed towards Xiaohui.

Xiao Hui quickly dodged, and the black shadow pounced on the rock wall behind Xiao Hui, making a snapping sound, and actually grabbed a few paw prints on the hard rock wall!

Xiao Hui kicked sideways, and the black shadow was extremely agile, and it fluttered and flashed into the air as soon as it circled.

Only then did I realize that the black shadow was actually a bat, but this bat was surprisingly large, fluttering its wings in mid-air, the size of a basin, and a pair of red eyes were particularly eye-catching, and the squeaking sound seemed to pierce the eardrum.

When the bat saw that it had missed, it suddenly turned around and pounced on me, moving as fast as the wind, extremely fast, like a black lightning bolt.

"Be careful!" Xiaohui didn't expect the bats to suddenly attack me, so he quickly rushed over and pushed me away.

But my shoulder was scratched again, and a sharp pain instantly filled my whole body.

Just as he was about to attack me again, Xiaohui suddenly stretched out an arm like lightning, and his wrist shook fiercely, only to hear a whoosh, and after the big bat wailed, it fell from mid-air, fluttered on the ground a few times and then did not move.

I clutched my shoulder, feeling the pain of the wound as if it was being burned by fire, Xiaohui pulled my clothes open, looked at my shoulder, and immediately said in surprise, "What's going on!" ”

I looked sideways, and I was stunned, there were three blood marks on my left shoulder, and what was surprising was that these three blood marks were black, and the blood flowing out was also black, just like ink!

Xiaohui quickly tore off a rag and tried to bandage me, but as soon as he touched my wound, I felt an indescribable pain that made me fall to the ground.

"Water ......"

I squeezed a word out between my teeth, this pain, not only the pain of the wound, but also the numbness of my whole body, the throat was like a red-hot charcoal, it was dry and painful, I felt like I was about to smoke, and I felt the urge to drink water.

Xiaohui hurriedly poured the remaining half pot of water into me, but to no avail, the half pot of water entered my throat, like raindrops falling into the sea, and it didn't work at all.

Not only did I not quench my thirst, but I felt that my throat was even drier.

Xiaohui nervously asked me to hold on for a while, he went out to fetch water, grabbed the kettle and ran out quickly.

I lay on the ground with my shoulders clutched, as if I had gotten off a pan of oil, and I felt unbearably hot, and my body seemed to be filled with hot magma, which could burst out at any moment.

After a while, Xiaohui ran back with two kettles, and I quickly grabbed them and poured them into my mouth.

Soon, the water in the two kettles was emptied by me, but the feeling in my body did not diminish at all, but became worse and worse.

The feeling of wanting to drink water is like being addicted to drugs, and I keep repeating one word, "water...... Water...... Water ......"

Xiaohui kept running back and forth a few times, but he didn't see me get better, and finally simply carried me on his back and ran out.

When I got to the edge of a small pool, I quickly lay on the side, buried almost my whole head in the water, and gulped water into my stomach.

I don't know how long I sucked, I felt like my stomach was about to burst, but the burning breath in my body didn't diminish at all.

I was completely uncontrollable, just continued to pour water into my stomach, and finally Xiaohui dragged me away, "I can't drink it, if I drink it again, your stomach will explode!" ”

At this time, my stomach was already bulging, like a toad, but the desire to drink water was getting stronger and stronger, if it wasn't for Xiaohui to hold me to death, I would have liked to jump into the pool.

Maybe Xiaohui was also forced to be anxious, and smashed it directly at the back of my neck, and I felt that it was dark in front of me, and I fainted.

When I woke up, I found that I was still lying on the edge of the pool, but I felt much better, although my throat was still dry and panicked, but the burning breath in my body had dissipated a lot.

"What happened to you just now, your stomach was almost burst!" Xiaohui saw me wake up and hurriedly asked.

I felt weak and shook my head with a wry smile, I didn't know what was going on.

The wound on my shoulder was still bubbling with black blood, and Xiaohui helped me deal with it briefly, "There must be something wrong with that bat just now!" Go back and see, and maybe you'll see something. ”

I took Xiaohui's arm and struggled to get up, and was just about to leave, when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a huge stone slab on the side of the waterhole.

The slate is stuck diagonally in the water, and with the ripples of the water surface, waves rush up to the slate, and then flow back quickly.

I seemed to suddenly think of something, and then my whole body trembled, remembering what Zhang Ya said to me in a dream last night: You can't drink the water that flows backwards, don't pick the flowers without roots, and the hanging coffin can't open.

The ripples of the water, lapping against the slanted stone slabs, rushed up, and quickly flowed down......

Isn't this the water that flows backwards!
