Chapter 17: The Turning of the River

With the pull of Lantern Xiao and Anado on it, my body gradually rose, and at this time I didn't need to rely on the power of Wenmo, so Wenmo let go of my arm, and the moment he let go, I was just grabbed by him and quickly returned to blood, and a burst of pain came again, and I couldn't help grinning,.。

I was a little worried about Wenmo, who was still hanging on the cliff, so I said to him, "Boss, how are you?" Do you need to pull you up? ”

Wen Mo shook his head, with one arm force, he jumped up with one turnover, and his agile skills made me secretly speechless. It seems that my worries are still unnecessary.

I was slowly pulled up by the rope around my waist, I saw the rope around a big tree, Lantern Xiao tied the rope around his waist, and was pulling hard with Anado.

I climbed two steps with my hands on the ground, hugged a tree, and fell to the ground after jumping up the cliff. Near the edge of the cliff is a gentle slope area, and afterwards Lantern Xiao told me that thanks to this flat land, otherwise, Wenmo would not have had time to fly to catch me.

Seeing me climb up, they all ran over during the Lantern Festival, "Zhuo Ran, how are you?" ”

I waved my hand, "It's okay, it's okay!" It's just a little dizzy. ”

Anado's expression was serious, "Kowtowing to this kind of thing, it can be big or small, you can't take it lightly, come, I'll help you take a look!" ”

I didn't think it was necessary, so I pushed it back, and finally Anado glared, "Don't move!" Lantern Xiao also came up and held me down, "Why don't you listen to your elders!" Quick, let the second aunt show you! ”

Anador glanced at Lantern Xiao and ignored him.

Anador looked at the back of my head, and suddenly there was a "tsk", and I was startled and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" Is the injury serious? ”

Anadot said with a deep sink: "It's okay, it's just a big walnut!" I quickly reached out and touched the place where my head was knocked out, and as soon as my fingers touched the wound, there was an immediate sensation of heat.

"Do you feel nauseous?" Anador asked, knowing that she was worried about a hidden damage to her brain, but at the moment I was feeling fine except for a few palpitations, so I shook my head and told her not to worry.

Anador nodded, "If there's any discomfort, just say it." ”

I sat under the tree, turned my head to see Wen Mo standing on the cliff and looked at the situation below, Lantern Xiao also walked over at this time, said something to Wen Mo, and then looked at the cliff intently.

After a while, Lantern Xiao turned to Anador and said, "Sister! Come on! ”

Anado also walked over quickly, and the three of them seemed to be discussing something. I would have liked to sit on the floor a little longer, because my head still hurts. But seeing what they seemed to have discovered, a strong curiosity made my heart itch, so I couldn't sit still any longer, and I got up and walked over.

I patted the Lantern Festival, who was carefully standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, "Hey, what's going on?" Did you find something? ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, and then only showed it to me, "You see when the Caibu River comes from upstream, there!" As he spoke, he raised his hand to point, "Turned a corner in that position." From our direction, we turned south, so we suddenly lost its trace. ”

I looked ahead, and sure enough, the Caibu River had a big turn a little farther ahead, so the river here seemed to be more urgent here.

At this time, I heard Lantern Xiao continue: "Just now the boss noticed the position of the bend of the river, although the speed of the river has increased a lot, but with such a large bend angle, the water flow should be more urgent, so he speculated that the river was diverted at the position before the bend!" ”

"Diverted?" I couldn't help but look up in that direction, but I didn't see anything because of the distance. However, I do think it makes sense when the scriptures say this, because it stands to reason that the bends of the river, especially the rocky part, have been washed by the river for thousands of years, so they must have left very obvious traces of erosion, but the rocks here are not as badly eroded as imagined. This indicates that the flow of the river has suddenly slowed down here, and it is indeed very likely that it will be diverted.

"And then?" I looked at the other three, "Shall we go over and have a look?" ”

"Of course!" Anador said. It can be seen that maybe it is the first time to participate in this kind of thing, Anador seems a little excited and very active, but maybe it has something to do with looking for my second uncle.

"Can I walk through here?" I looked at where we were standing, the distance to the section of the river where we suspected the problem was, and hesitated. For I saw that this part of the road was covered with very dense bushes, and we could not see what was going on inside the bushes at all.

I couldn't help but think of the situation when the Lantern Festival was injured by the cryptoptera just now, and my heart was stunned.

I turned to Anador and said, "Sister, do you think this road can be passed?" ”

Anador only glanced at it, and then said, "I just estimated it, so it shouldn't be a big problem." As he spoke, Anador straightened the rope under his feet, "There is only one problem, that is, the slope of this road will not be smaller than just now, it may be larger, so you must be careful when walking." Learning from the accident you just had, this time we will use ropes to connect with each other, and if someone stumbles, others will be able to take care of each other. ”

"Connected?" I looked at Lantern Xiao with some concern, "Can you tie this fat man to a rope alone, just this weight, the three of us may not be able to pull it!" ”

When Lantern Xiao heard this, he scolded, "Hey! Zhuo Ran, your uncle! You're ungrateful, haven't you, forgotten how your buddy sacrificed himself to pull you here just now! ”

Anador shook her head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay! If you two don't stink together, you will feel uncomfortable with poverty! As he spoke, he picked up the rope and tied it around the waists of me and Lantern Xiao.

Lantern Xiao smiled when she saw it, "Zhuo Ran, if my feet slip in a while, I will pull you down as a cushion first!" ”

I pulled out a short knife and stuck it in my waist, "No, the first thing I need to do when I see you slide down is to cut the rope!" ”

"I'm your uncle!"

After getting ready, we set off like a string of sugar gourds, Wenmo walked in the front, there is no doubt that Anador is a girl and should walk in the middle of the line. In fact, the tail of the team is also a very important position, but Anador let the Lantern Festival go last.

I was a little skeptical about this decision, "Sister, do you question my skills and abilities?" ”

Anador smiled slightly, "Does it still hurt when you touch the bag on your head?" It's still possible! To be honest, you two really can't talk about how to do anything, but if you have to divide the ranks, it's better for the fat man to press the formation! ”

Although I admit in my heart that what Anaduo said makes sense, Lantern Festival is indeed stronger than me in terms of physical strength and skill, and the otaku life after graduation is really ruined, but I can't say that in my mouth, "Sister, who are you with, we are half relatives!" ”

Anador shrugged, "I'm helping you, not helping your relatives!" ”

Lantern Xiao was even more proud, and pretended to pat me, "Xiao Zhuo, don't worry, I will cover you!" ”

I walked in front of the Lantern Festival, and I didn't look back and compared my middle finger to the back.

There are no tall trees in this area, the shrubs here are simply crazy long, dense and almost impossible to insert feet, if it were not for Wenmo to open the way in front, we would not be able to move an inch.

The sheer density of the bushes also had the advantage of making it easier to settle down as we had imagined, and we grasped the branches of the bushes with our hands and proceeded cautiously.

Since we are all taller than this shrub, these shrubs are basically below our chest. This brings up the problem that we can't see under the leaves of the bushes at all.

What makes my heart palpitate the most is that when I am often walking, there will be a sound of crawling at my feet or not far away. Or maybe I took a certain step, and suddenly there was a movement under my feet, as if I had guessed something, and with a "flutter" sound, I slipped under my feet and I don't know where it went, but I knew it wouldn't be very far.

This situation made my lower body tingle for a while, and both legs were a little stiff. There are goosebumps on the body layer by layer. This happens every now and then, and I almost want to scream. My heart was constricting and I felt like I was about to have a heart attack!

I don't dare to imagine what is going on here, but people are like this, the more afraid they are, they can't let go of things, and they always hope to find an interface that can let them go, so I said to Anado: "Sister, these 100,000 mountains are very quiet, and there don't seem to be any wild animals!" ”

Anado, who was walking in front, smiled and said, "You didn't see it, but when you walk up the mountain, all kinds of wild monkeys will appear, as well as civets and pangolins." However, there are still the most snakes in this mountain! ”

"Snakes?" Hearing her say that made my heart beat even harder. Then Anado continued, "Not only snakes but also lizards, which often inhabit the bushes and grasses, such as the bushes under our feet. You listen! As she spoke, Anador slid her foot down, "Listen, this is it! ”

I immediately felt my face turn green, and to be honest, I would rather fight the rice dumplings face to face than let countless unknown snakes run under my feet. I panicked and couldn't help but speed up my pace, hoping to get out of here quickly.

The Lantern Festival in the back was pulled forward by me vigorously, "Oops! Slow, you slow! How? Are you scared when you hear about snakes? It's okay, if you catch one later, buddy will make you a snake BBQ. ”

Anaduo immediately turned her head and glared at Lantern Xiao, "I warn you not to mess around, snakes are not allowed to kill indiscriminately!" ”

Lantern Xiao stuck out her tongue, "I'm just talking!" ”
