Chapter 100: Desperate Survival
Su Man looked at me and also walked over, she also reached out and tried Meng Chao's forehead, and couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong?" This is in trouble! ”
I nodded, "He can't last long like this, and he must find a way to get out tomorrow, otherwise, he will be in danger." After saying this, I looked up at Suman to see how she would react.
Su Man didn't speak, but stood up and took out a couple of pill bottles from her backpack, she looked at them one by one and then took one out of it and threw it directly to me.
I grabbed it and looked at it, and the name of the medicine said: Ibuprofen. I didn't think that Su Man still had fever reducers with him, so I quickly poured out two pills, forcibly pulled Meng Chao up, and stuffed the pills directly into his mouth.
Meng Chao was a little unconscious in a daze, and he was still a little resistant to what was stuffed into his mouth, and I said in his ear: "You have a fever, if you want to live, swallow the pills." ”
Meng Chao opened his eyes slightly and looked at me, then frowned, and swallowed the medicine with great difficulty.
I put Meng Chao back on, and then walked to Su Man's side, "I didn't expect you to drive a minibus and prepare quite well, and you still have fever medicine with you." ”
Su Man said while tying his hair back up: "Drive a minibus, get up early and be greedy for darkness, the temperature difference between day and night here is large, and if you don't do it, you will catch a cold, so you have to prepare." ”
I nodded, "It's also fortunate that you are prepared, otherwise Meng Chao would be in danger." ”
Su Man shook his head and said softly to me: "Even if Meng Chao takes the medicine, we don't have water now, so it's hard to say whether he can get out alive." ”
Speaking of water, I suddenly remembered that I had just heard the sound of water coming from under the bluestone on the ground. If there is a water source in the ground, then we can find it.
I lay on the ground again and listened carefully to the sounds of the ground with my ears. Su Man didn't know why, and asked inexplicably, "What are you doing here?" ”
I waved my hand and motioned for her not to speak yet. This time I heard the sound of water coming from the ground even more obviously. Immediately after that, I found a few different points on the ground of the main hall and lay down to listen to the movement underground.
I soon discovered that not all places could hear the sound of running water. Where the sound of water can be heard, a line is formed that crosses the ground of the main hall, which also marks the location of the underground water veins.
I stood up and couldn't help but wonder how I could dig this vein of water underground.
Seeing that I was stunned, Su Man asked again, "What are you doing?" ”
I pointed to the bluestone on the ground, "There's a sound of water running underground!" ”
"Really??" Su Man's eyes widened and he stared at me, "Could it be that you were listening to the sound of the water just now?" ”
Seeing me nodding, Su Man was a little skeptical, "Why can't I hear anything?" ”
I pointed to my ear, "My ears are probably more sensitive than normal." ”
Su Man nodded suddenly. And I continued to look at the direction of the underground water veins in a daze.
Su Man squatted down and patted the incomparably hard bluestone, "But how can we dig out the water veins underground?" The ground here is paved with bluestone, and the courtyard outside is covered with mudstone. We don't even have an iron guy in our hands. ”
In fact, what Suman said is not a question that I am pondering?
Suddenly, an idea popped up in my mind, the existence of this water vein is not a short thing, maybe this temple was built here in the first place to use this water vein, in this case, how did the people in this temple get water in the first place?
Suddenly I remembered the well in the courtyard, and that was the closest place to the water vein. But when we went to see it during the day, there was no water in the well!
Seeing that my expression was uncertain, Suman asked me if I had any ideas.
I told her what I thought, and Suman nodded, "You have a point," she said, clapping her hands, "Then let's go to the well in the yard and have a look." ”
"But, we've seen it before," I was about to say something, but Su Man grabbed me, "Don't do it, you can't die if you go and see it again!" ”
Su Man pulled me out of the main hall, and the two of us came to the well in the wooden shed, Su Man turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the well, and immediately she shouted out in surprise, "Look! There's water in the well! ”
Hearing her say this, I quickly leaned my head over, and by the light of the flashlight, I saw that there was indeed a reflection of the water surface in the well, and there was also the sound of "whooshing" running water. A cool steam came to my face, and I was so thirsty that I wanted to plunge into the well at once.
"Great! Now there is salvation! I said happily. But how do you fetch water? There's nothing on the edge of this well! "Looking at the clear water in the well, I can't help but feel difficult again.
"Wait a minute!" With that, Su Man turned around and went back to the main hall, and then she ran back again, carrying her backpack in her hand.
Su Man took out a six-meter-long tow rope from his bag, "I wanted to throw it away during the day to lighten the load, but fortunately I didn't!" ”
We tied the water bottle to the trailer rope with a hair-tied ribbon and put two more stone weights into the bottle.
Soon a bottle of water came up. I shone it with a flashlight, and the water was very clean. Although I was thirsty, I still had the necessary gentlemanly demeanor at this time, and I handed the water bottle to Suman.
Su Man smiled at me, but he was not polite, took the water bottle, craned his neck and took a few sips, and handed the water bottle back.
I motioned for her to drink first, I wasn't in a hurry, Su Man shook his head, "I've been thirsty for so long, I can't drink too much water at once." I nodded and took it.
We refilled a bottle of water and returned to the main hall and fed Meng Chao a few sips. Because of taking medicine and replenishing water, Meng Chao's condition has improved a lot. When he saw Wu Zhijun who was tied up on the ground and fell to the wall, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said in a panic: "He, what's wrong with him?" What did you do to tie him up? ”
I looked at Wu Zhijun, who was still lying there unconscious, and snorted coldly, "You classmate has a beast's heart. Then I told Meng Chao about what he wanted to insult Su Man. Meng Chao was very surprised when he heard this, "I really didn't expect him to be such a person!" Then he turned to Su Man, "Sister Su, I'm really sorry, I don't know ...... him"
Su Man waved his hand and interrupted Meng Chao, "This has nothing to do with you, don't talk about this." ”
Meng Chao nodded curtly, and then said to me: "Hey, by the way, Brother Ran, where does this water come from?" ”
I lifted the water bottle and looked at it, "It's strange to say, there was no water in the well, but for some reason, there was water again." ”
