"Why don't we climb up," I said, looking at the stone wall next to me, "can we find a way to get up there?" We can take the coffin out and hide in the hole where the coffin is placed, although it is a little disrespectful to the ancestors, but this is also a way to do it. ”

Kong Xue nodded, "This is also a method, the last time we came to the ancient country of Danhuan, we also used this method when we encountered accidents in the river." ”

"Yes, but," I said with some concern, "there was no water in the place where we were buried, and the stone walls were very rough, with a lot of protrusions and cracks, and there were many places to climb and borrow. However, here, it has been washed by water all year round, and the stone wall is very smooth, and there is basically no place to stay. The key is that this time, Nie Chuan probably felt that he had entered the desert and had no chance to climb, so there was no climbing pickaxe in the equipment, and in such a situation, it would be too difficult to climb up. "I looked up, and the nearest cliff coffin to us was almost fifteen meters above the ground. That's basically the height of a five-story building.

Lantern Xiao shone with a flashlight, "It's true that as you said, this can't climb up at all, at least I can't go up!" "Indeed, this is a huge dilemma.

"I'll try!" The glasses handed me the flashlight, "I'm thin, I'll see if I can climb up and find a place to stay, and then I'll put the rope for you." ”

"Okay," I nodded. The glasses walked to the stone wall, grabbed the slightly raised rocks, then held the short knife, inserted it into the gap between the rocks, and began to climb up, although the glasses did have excellent climbing skills, but the stone wall was indeed too smooth, and the glasses also tried several times before climbing to the nearest hiding hole where the coffin was placed.

However, the glasses could not find a place to hold the rope anyway. The desperation we see below finally gave up on this program. But the glasses still had a chance, and I shouted to him: "Glasses, you just stay on it, find a way to climb up and climb again, you should be able to avoid the rising river, let's think of another way." Let's not all be trapped here, we can live one by one. ”

When I said these words, my heart was actually a little sad, because after all, I, Lantern Xiao, Kong Xue, and Tan Yaokun couldn't climb up.

Kong Xue's face turned pale, "What should I do?" What to do? "My heart is tormenting, and the faces of Lantern Xiao and Tan Yaokun have become extremely ugly.

Lantern Xiao scolded and said, "If you want me to say, let's run forward, in case there is a place to hide in front of us!" As he spoke, his glasses jumped off again, and he smiled at us, "I can't leave you guys and run for your life!" There's still time, let's figure it out again. ”

But what can we do, if we really can't do it, we can only try our luck in front of the Lantern Festival, but in fact, what I don't like the most is to hand over my life to luck.

Lantern Xiao continued to urge, "Don't think about it, let's run first!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Tan Yaokun, who had been bowing his head and being silent, suddenly said loudly: "I have a way!" ”

"What's the solution?" I hurriedly asked.

Tan Yaokun pointed to the more turbulent river, "Now that the river is flowing faster, I wonder if we can let the river push us away, so that we have a chance to outperform the river." ”

Lantern Xiao was so anxious that she rubbed her hands, "Uncle Kun, what do you mean, it's all this time, just say it directly." ”

Tan Yaokun said: "I grew up by the river since I was a child, and I am good at building rafts! Look at the speed of the river's rise, we still have a little time, we can build a raft and flow down! ”

"Rafting??" Lantern Xiao said in surprise, "How can we have wood?" ”

Tan Yaokun stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of the stone wall, "Although it is a little lacking in virtue, it is better than lacking life." ”

Kong Xue's eyes widened, "You mean to open the coffin?" ”

Tan Yaokun nodded, "There is no other way!" ”

"Good!" Lantern Xiao patted her thigh, "That's it!" After speaking, he turned around and knelt down against the stone wall and kowtowed four times, "Seniors, we really have no choice, borrow your coffin." When you get out, I'll burn more paper money for you, and I wish you an early ascension to Bliss! ”

After saying this, Lantern Xiao stood up and said to the glasses, "Brother glasses, I have to rely on you!" ”

The glasses took a deep breath, gritted their teeth and nodded, and also knelt down and kowtowed a few times to the coffin on the stone wall. Then he got up and climbed up again. Soon, with a plop, a coffin was thrown down.

The coffin was torn apart, but fortunately, a few large pieces of wood were still usable. Of course, the corpses inside also fell out, and we respectfully put the corpses aside, although these people were dead, but we still had a strong sense of guilt in our hearts. Kong Xue even turned her back and didn't want to look.

Seven or eight coffins were dismantled in a row, and some of the coffin boards were rotten and could not be used, but some of them seemed to have been blistered, and the texture of the wood was not bad. Tan Yaokun tied them with ropes, interspersed with dead branches of tree trunks deposited on the river beach. In the end, two rafts were made.

After all this tossing, the river is already knee-high.

Without further ado, we jumped on the raft separately. The Lantern Festival is heavier, so I shared one with Tan Yaokun, and I, Kong Xue, and glasses sat on the one in the back.

We were pushed by the rising river, and we moved faster and faster.

Seeing that this method had succeeded, we all breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a sense of excitement in our hearts that we had escaped death. Lantern Xiao laughed excitedly a few times. But at this time, we completely ignored the situation, and we had no idea where the raft would go.

The raft went down the river faster and faster, and gradually, we finally realized the problem.

Kong Xue knelt on the raft and clung to the rope on it. The glasses said to me, "Brother Ran, you have to find a way to slow down, something will happen if you go on like this!" ”

I nodded, and carefully pulled a stick out of the raft, trying to tap the bottom to slow it down, but now the river was rising so fast that the stick couldn't reach the bottom. I tried to touch the river on both sides, but I almost fell into the water due to the shaking of the raft.

Tan Yaokun turned around and shouted, "Zhuo Ran, stretch out the stick, our two rafts are connected together, hoping to slow down some speed." ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me and said, "Zhuo Ran, what are you doing here?" ”

I saw that Lantern Xiao seemed to understand our current situation, so I said to him, "Do you remember the rock that was put in the stone wall, we are in that situation now." In case the river in front of you turns around, it's really like what the sketch says, 'You hit the tree, I'll put it on you'! ”

"Hey!" Lantern Xiao smiled, "You are scolding me by changing the law." ”

I waved my hand, "Okay, no more, let's hurry up and think about how to slow down!" ”

"This," thought Lantern Xiao as she half-crouched on the raft and lowered her head while we tried to slow down by all means.

Suddenly, Lantern Xiao's eyes widened and said, "Not good! How did I hear a loud sound of water, did the surging river catch up? ”

I didn't pay attention just now, but now when I listen to Lantern Xiao, I immediately listen carefully to the sounds around me. Soon I determined the direction of the source of the water sound, and I shouted at the Lantern Festival: "The sound of water is not behind at all, it is in front!" ”

"Ahead?" Lantern Xiao looked at me in surprise, and I looked at him. In this way, the two of us glanced at each other, and our faces changed suddenly, and I am afraid that something will change in the river in front of us!

I yelled, "Something is wrong up ahead!!" Everyone, find a way to stop the raft. ”

"No!" Tan Yaokun tried his best to support the bottom of the river and the stone wall, and wiped a handful of water on his face, "The river is flowing too fast, it's about to get out of control!" ”

I grabbed the two rafts so hard that my glasses tied them together with rope.

"I'm coming!" As he spoke, Lantern Xiao took out a rope and tied one end to his waist and the other end to the raft, and jumped into the river with a "plop". Lantern Festival wants to use himself as an anchor, but Lantern Festival is large in size and buoyancy, he has been floating on the water, and it has no effect after tossing for a long time, but Lantern Festival itself does not give up, plus his water nature is really good, up and down in the rushing river, this is like an anchor, obviously like a fish floating!

Our two rafts dragged the Lantern Festival forward in the water for another while, and then the sound of the water just now became louder, as if it was the sound of the water surface crashing. I shouted at the underwater Lantern Festival, "Come up, danger!" ”

Tan Yaokun threw himself down at the front of the raft, looked ahead, and suddenly his face changed drastically, "It's not good, there is a fault in the river in front of you!" We're going to fall! ”

"What!!" My brain buzzed, there was a fault in the river, I don't know how big the drop is, if it is a waterfall dozens of meters high, a few of us will definitely die!

I pulled up Kong Xue and shouted at the Lantern Festival in the water, "You quickly cut the rope and take Kong Xue away!" ”

Lantern Xiao looked at the front and waved at me, "No, it's too late!" ”

I turned my head to look forward, and I saw that the head of the raft had begun to fall down, and everyone couldn't help but scream, "Ah!!! ”

Immediately afterward, we started to free fall with the raft, and there was a lantern festival on the rope behind the raft. The last picture I saw before entering the water was Lantern Xiao's frightened face!
