Chapter 60: The Swamp of Death

Lobsang saw that some of the bushes in the vicinity were still quite tall, so he and Kampot broke off some thick and straight branches from the trees, took out the ropes they carried with them, and tied them to the feet of the people, so that they could spread the pressure on their bodies as they walked on the swamp, so that they would not fall into the mud.

And he broke a long branch for each of them, and held it in his hand to explore the ground. Kampot sighed: "I said that we don't look like we are on TV now, the part of the Red Army's 25,000-mile long march through the grassland?"

Lausanne and Kuroko nodded with their lips pouted. Luosang took out a cigarette case, handed one to each of Kampot and Kuroko, and said, "Don't say it, this scene is really similar." If this cigarette has no cigarette butt, it is the kind of paper cigarette without a handle, and if you smoke it like this, it will really have the feeling of the Red Army crossing the grassland back then. As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and took a puff.

Heizi sat on the ground, smoking a cigarette and said with a smile: "I am the wounded man who was wounded by Chairman Jiang's ground soldiers, am I Commander Gongpo?"

A few people giggled and didn't pay attention to the swamp, or didn't realize the danger.

Yangjin Lhamo is a Nepalese who probably hasn't watched the Red Army's TV on the grassland, and Yayi grew up in the primitive tribe of the Lhoba tribe, and he doesn't know what the three people are talking about. The two of them looked at the three boys with ignorant expressions.

After smoking, a few people got up and groped into the swamp, you pulled me and walked for a long time, and when I looked back, I walked less than 300 meters away.

This marsh is located at the lowest point of this valley, and it is difficult for the sun to enter, and it is almost dusk, and the light is even darker around it. Everyone thought to themselves that they had to cross this swamp before dark, otherwise it would be difficult to find a place to stay for the night at night.

The branches tied to his feet were covered with mud, and he looked like he was dragging down when he walked. The shoes and trouser legs were also covered with mud, and it was so heavy that it was hard to pull back the back leg with one step. Fortunately, there were rattans hanging from the bushes everywhere, and Yang Jinram suggested that everyone directly remove the branches on the soles of their feet and walk slowly with the rattans.

After walking like this for an hour, Lausanne, who had taken the lead in front, explored with the branches in his hand, and found that it was a relatively solid meadow, and he hurriedly greeted everyone, saying: "There is no danger here, it will not come to an end, right? ”

He naively thought that his group was no longer in danger, but he took another step forward, and his feet suddenly sank into the quagmire hidden under the water weeds. Kampot grabbed Lobsang by the hand, and when he grabbed Kampot's arm and walked out, he was already frightened into a cold sweat.

Kampot calmed his face and said, "I said you kid can be careful, ah, I don't want to watch your little body be swallowed up by this foul mud." ”

It was only then that Lausanne realized that this was far from the end, and that the mud could swallow their tiny lives without a trace at any moment, and he didn't want to disappear into the mud forever......

He said in shock: "Fortunately, you are quick to see and move, otherwise my little life, I am afraid that I will be in this stinky quagmire." ”

Yang Jinram stuck his head out from behind and asked with concern, "Are you okay with Lausanne?"

Lausanne shook his head and said, "It's okay! I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of here for a while." ”

Yang Jinram took Yayi's hand, grabbed the rattan with difficulty, caught up with the three of them, and admonished: "This swamp should be very large, we must be careful everywhere." ”

When I looked up ahead, I saw from a distance that the bones of many bison and other large animals were stuck in the mud and rotted into white bones. When a few people saw that it was about to get dark, they were all worried, and it would not be easy to come up with it again if they fell into the mud.

But now in the hinterland of the swamp, in a dilemma, it is not easy to continue to move forward, it is not easy to retreat and return, several people are in trouble for a while, and the most terrible thing is that the night is coming.

Lausanne doubted his own judgment for a moment, and perhaps when he saw the marsh, he should go back and find another way. He frowned with remorse, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only lead everyone to grope forward.

The five of them walked cautiously hand in hand, so that even if someone got stuck in the mud, the other four would be able to react immediately. After walking less than a mile, it was already very dark, and night began to fall. And how far away the end of the swamp is from them, no one can say.

Everyone didn't dare to touch the night and continue to move forward rashly, and the swamp in front of them seemed to be an invisible giant mouth, slowly devouring the delicious food that the five of them had brought to their mouths.

The whole valley was pitch black, and the silence around it was terrifying, coupled with the white bones of the beasts that had fallen into the silt and died and rotted, occasionally a few rays of light blue phosphorescence appeared, flickering like ghost fire, so that people could not be frightened.

Maybe it's a ghost fire? Lausanne asked himself in his heart: "Why am I so paranoid? If I had known that this was the case, I could have bypassed the mountain and taken another way!"

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't think of a better way, so I could only apologize and say to the others: "Hey, it's all my fault, why can't I get along with this swamp? I'm sorry for everyone being trapped here!"

Seeing that it was useless to be anxious, Kampot comforted Lausanne: "I said Lausanne, what are you talking about, you have already come here, it is useless for you to blame yourself, let's think of a way." ”

Yang Jinlam was calm and said: "Yes, now is not the time to blame ourselves and be anxious, I think we might as well spend the night in the same place, and wait until tomorrow when it is dawn and we can see clearly before walking over, so as not to fall into the mud and not be able to get out." ”

When Kuroko heard that he was going to spend the night in the same place, he hurriedly asked, "What? Can I spend the night here? How can I spend the night here?"

Yang Jin Ram nodded and said, "It's only like this, there is mud under your feet, you can't sleep in the mud, right?"

Yayi took Yang Jinlam's arm and said, "I think Sister Ram's method is feasible, let's just stand here and don't move, it's dark in the middle of the night, if you fall into the mud, it's hard to get out." ”

Lausanne thought for a moment, and now it was all the same. Standing overnight is at most a swollen leg, which is a lot of money compared to giving up your life in this swamp.

I heard Yayi say again: "I see that this place is very yin, everyone should be careful, you see the flickering ghost fire in the distance, I have a sense of foreboding." ”

Yayi was a descendant of the Lhoba sorcerer, and it was normal for him to be superstitious, but Kampot couldn't help but say: "I said, daughter-in-law, don't scare everyone, it's okay, this is a ghost fire, this is a phosphorus fire decomposed from the bones of those beasts that have fallen into the mud and died." ”
