Chapter 142 [Drainage Hole] (II)
Several people did not expect that the water would rush out from above, and the turbulent water rushed on the sparrow's body, and the sparrow exclaimed in surprise and fell off the platform. In the midst of the crisis, Luo Lie grabbed her arm, and grabbed the other hand on the Ding Er, although Lu Weilin and the blind man were also impacted by the current, but after all, the two of them had the advantage of weight, and they also grabbed the edge of the copper tripod in time. They were so blinded by the current that they had no idea what was going on with the sparrows.
The strength of the water flow weakened slightly, Luo Lie breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to pull the sparrow back to his side, but another strong stream of water rushed down from above, this time it was aimed at Luo Lie, Luo Lie used all his strength to grab Ding Er, but unfortunately Ding Er has been seriously corroded over time, and he couldn't withstand Luo Lie's pull and broke from it.
Luo Lie only felt that his arm suddenly loosened, and then he was swept down by the torrent, falling into the water without waiting for him to turn back, and was carried downward by the turbulent current.
The blind man and Lu Weilin were washed into soup chickens by the water that fell from the sky, and the two water columns that fell successively were one meter thick, rushing down from about ten meters above, with great impact, not to mention seeing the changes around them, even breathing and panting became extremely difficult, and they were almost suffocated in it, and the two of them grabbed the edge of the copper tripod with all their might, and their legs were coiled at the feet of the copper tripod with the posture of the roots of the old tree, and finally withstood the two domineering currents.
The water gradually weakened, and the wellhead heard the concerned cries of Zhang Longbow and Arnold.
The blind man's sight was restored before his hearing, and he first noticed that Luo Lie and the Sparrow had disappeared from the platform, and when he looked down, he saw that the water below was about five meters from the soles of their feet, and the water splashed because of the water that had not stopped falling above, but the blind man quickly determined that there was no shadow of the two on the water.
Lu Weilin wiped the water stains on his face, looked up, and found that the dragon head part of the two dragons playing with the pearl protruded a lot, and there was a continuous flow of water gushing out of the dragon head, which was much weaker than just now, and he already understood after a little pondering that the iron ball he had just put into the mouth of the toad must have touched the mechanism, and the two long dragons had hidden flood channels in their mouths.
After the iron ball entered the mouth of the toad, it triggered the mechanism and opened the floodgate of the flood channel, thus creating the two streams of water just now. Only then did he understand why he had used to tie the iron ball with iron chains, and if he put the iron ball into the toad's mouth with his bare hands, then the people on the platform would have nowhere to hide when the torrent came.
The blind man grabbed the broken ear with both hands and wailed: "Luo Hunt, Luo Hunt they have fallen!"
Lu Weilin nodded, he was also worried, but the length of their rope could not reach the water surface below, if they blindly went down to save people, it was likely that not only would they not be able to save people, but a few more people would be in trouble.
The blind man gritted his teeth, and in an instant he had made up his mind, and shouted upwards, "You throw a rope down, and I will go down to find someone." "He and Luo Hunt are brothers and sisters, if Luo Hunt has an accident, he will go down to save people even if he fights for his life.
Lu Weilin looked at the blind man with some surprise, in his impression, the blind man has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for money and lustful, but such a person is willing to risk his life for Luo Hunt without hesitation, which makes Lu Weilin not only see the hidden courage of the blind man, but also see the personal charm of Luo Lie, a person who can make friends forget their lives must have their own differences.
Zhang Changgong and Arnold already knew that something was going on below when the floodway spewed out the torrent, and they were sure that Luo Lie and Sparrow had been washed away by the water, and their whereabouts were unknown, Zhang Changgong said to Arnold: "I'll go down." ”
Arnold shook his head: "It's better for me to go down, you don't know water." ”
Although Zhang Changgong is strong in martial arts, he hunts in the mountains and forests and is not good at water, so it is extremely risky for him to enter the well.
Zhang Changgong still wanted to insist, Arnold patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can only support it, in case something happens, I can't stand it." "What he said is also the truth, although the gate of Zhengjue Temple is closed, but no one knows what will happen in the future, in case there is an enemy to find, a few people in the well will be in danger, so Zhang Longbow, who has the highest martial arts, is the safest to stay on it.
Zhang Changgong stopped insisting when he heard him say this, and said in a deep voice: "Bring more ammunition down." ”
Arnold not only brought ammunition, but also a lifebuoy, and when he slid down the rope to the platform, the blind man's throat was already a little hoarse, but he still did not hear any reaction.
Lu Weilin was ready to stop, let the two of them wait on the platform first, and go down to see the situation first, they tied the rope brought by Arnold to the bronze tripod, sure that the tie was strong, and let the blind man and Arnold grab the rope to provide double insurance. After all, this bronze tripod already has a precedent of breaking, if it weren't for the broken ears, Luo Hunt and the sparrow would not have been washed into the well by the torrent.
Lu Weilin slowly slid down the rope, he was more worried about those water snakes than the unknown well, the beam of the flashlight illuminated the water surface below, at this time the two water currents above had gradually stopped, and the water surface gradually calmed down, but there were still more than a dozen water snakes swimming back and forth.
At the edge of the water, an arc-shaped gap was revealed, and the water was flowing into the gap because the current was so strong that it formed a whirlpool where it entered the gap. Lu Weilin carefully observed the gap and was sure that there should be a hidden water hole here, and he told his companion about this discovery.
As the water level descends, this hole will gradually appear, and from what we can see so far, this hole hidden under the surface of the water is connected to a flood channel outside the shadow, and Luo Hunt and Sparrow should have been washed down by the torrent just now, and then entered this channel with the undercurrent under the water.
After the blind man learned of the situation, he reminded Lu Weilin not to rush into the risk for the time being, because the water level was constantly falling, and the water snake would also stay away, and when the hole was all exposed, it would become safer to enter it.
They had expected the water to descend to the lower edge of the cave in twenty minutes at most, and they could enter the cave to find someone, but when the hole was only a third of the way out, it began to rain in the sky again. Rainwater falling from the wellhead was not the main problem, as the floodway hidden in the two dragons' mouths began to gush downward. With the continued infusion of water, the water below has stopped descending.
The blind man sighed that he didn't know when the rain would fall, and although Zhang Changgong temporarily covered the wellhead, they could not block the internal flood outlet, and still could not stop the water level in the well from rising. The blind man told Arno to stand guard on the bronze tripod, and he also slid down the rope.
Lu Weilin saw him coming, and said loudly: "The water surface has stopped falling, and it seems that the kung fu has begun to rise at this time." His voice echoed through the empty well.
The blind man looked up, but saw that the water from the two faucets was getting bigger and bigger, and the rain outside kept falling, and the rainwater flowed into the flood channel, and then discharged through the two faucets. The blind man looked at the part of the flood channel that was a third of the water outcropping, which was at least about two meters in diameter, and it would not be long before the water would flood the entire channel. It is not until the rainstorm stops and the water level drops that the outfall is reexposed.
Lu Weilin said: "Blind, I think we should go up first, and then go to them when the water recedes." Lu Weilin believes that Luo Lie and Sparrow were washed into this flood channel by the undercurrent, and the life and death of the two are uncertain, as friends, they should try their best to rescue, but they must not be blind in everything, they must wait until the time is ripe. Lu Weilin pointed to the platform above and motioned to the blind men to climb up and rest for a while.
The blind man nodded, and Lu Weilin took the lead in crawling upward, but suddenly heard a pop, he was startled, and looked down, only to see that the blind man had jumped into the water desperately.
It seemed to the blind man that there was a constant flood coming in, and if the flood channel was flooded, it would be impossible for them to enter it for a short time to rescue. Time is life, maybe Luo Hunt and Sparrow have been injured, and if they find them a moment earlier, they will have more hope for life.
The blind man mustered up the courage to jump into the water, waved his arms and tried to swim towards the mouth of the flood drainage hole, but before he could adapt to the environment in the water, an undercurrent took him towards the flood drainage hole, and the blind man let out a loud cry, and then his fat body seemed to encounter an irresistible suction, and was instantly sucked into it, and disappeared into the hole.
Lu Weilin yelled at the blind man, but the surface of the well had lost his trace. For a while, Lu Weilin's heart fluctuated, and the blind man who had always been greedy for life and afraid of death in his heart showed the courage to live and die with his friends at this time. It shocked him, and at the same time made him feel ashamed, for a while, Lu Weilin's blood surged, and he almost jumped into the water with the blind man, but at the last moment, he still didn't lose his mind after all, because he understood that even if everyone jumped now, it would be useless.
If it weren't for his superhuman calmness, Lu Weilin would not have grown into a top killer. He is not afraid of death, but he cannot die in vain.
Not everyone has the same sanity as Lu Weilin, Arnold unscrewed his stainless steel wine jug, poured a few sips in succession, and then threw the wine jug, with two lifebuoys, and yelled: "Blind, I'll come!" A fierce man stabbed down, if the blind man plucked up all his courage. Arnold is seven points of courage and three points of wine, and if he didn't have this pot of wine at the bottom, he couldn't make up his mind.
Lu Weilin saw that Arnold actually jumped down, these two people are usually a pair of living treasures, although they are reckless and impulsive, but from this incident it can be seen that their friendship with Luo Hunt, Lu Weilin admires their courage, and also admires Luo Hunt's personality, if it is himself who is washed away by the water, the blind man and Arnold should not give up their lives to save each other.
At this time, the light from above penetrated, but it was a longbow that removed the shelter from the wellhead, and the rain outside still showed no sign of abating. Zhang Changgong didn't know what was going on inside, and asked loudly, he couldn't do it in water, although he learned that the situation was not optimistic, he could only be anxious. However, Zhang Changgong did not lose his mind, and reminded Lu Weilin not to enter rashly, after all, the blind man and Arnold had already entered, and there was no need for everyone to jump in and take risks.
