Chapter 4: The River Styx
Eventually, I fell, to be exact.
I dreamed that I was dying. I was holding my breath in the basin, my opponent didn't mean to raise his head at all, but I couldn't do it anymore, and I was going to throw in the towel and raise my head. But it was very strange that the muscles became very sore, and I couldn't use any strength at all, seeing that my Chu Nan I was about to drown in the basin, and I had already drunk water from my nose to my lungs. If you don't move, you'll really die in the basin. I yelled, "I haven't married a wife yet!" With a flick of his body, he got up from the water, and then took a big breath of air, only to realize that it was just a dream. But everything in front of me made me think it should still be a dream, so I planned to lie down and sleep again. Looking at the fog in the sky, smelling the disgusting stench, and the sharp pain that tears the soul...
But as soon as I lay flat, a lot of water flowed through my nose and mouth through the scarf. Especially when the water from my nose flowed down my throat, I choked and coughed. So I sat up, hunched over, and coughed up several mouthfuls of water. Relieved a little, I turned my head to look at my surroundings. The environment of the ground has finally changed, the ground is full of pebbles, and there is a river in front of it. Then I found that the wind became smaller, and I didn't feel like I was even ignoring. Eh~ It doesn't hurt so much, are you finally getting used to it? Then, just like the people on TV, they raised their hands as if they were holding a big jar, and looked at their hands first. What I saw was Brother Hei's hand, and I wondered why Brother Hei's hand was raised. Then make a letting go gesture and raise your hand again. Wang Defa? I hurriedly stood up and touched my body, touching my right hand with my left hand, touching my left hand with my right hand, then my face, then bending down to look at my feet, and finally grabbing Brother Hei's hand and raising it to look at it, and then looking at my own hand. I'm messy. Brother Hei is actually myself!!
I actually became exactly like Brother Black, and I still have a Black Brother on my chest. Who's going to explain this to me, although I wasn't particularly handsome before, but now I'm definitely very ugly. I just remembered that I had been running all this time, and I can't say that I was unconscious, but I still had some sense. It seems like a long, long time has passed, and I don't eat, drink, or sleep during this time. I just woke up in the water because I couldn't breathe face down. How is this possible, did I run and consume all my flesh? Then my meat should have been known to have this function, how valuable it is. Could it be that Brother Hei has become like this and has experienced the same thing as me? But I'm downwind, he's headwind, or Brother Hei is more bullish. Thinking about it I found my mind on the banana peel again, but this time I didn't want to smoke myself. Because this proves that I have come back to life, this two-way of thinking, who else can I be besides being alive and kicking.
Then there is another thing that surprised me, I have become exactly the same as when I first met Hei Ge. Not only are the clothes and pants missing, but the hairline on the head doesn't have to be taken to heart, because it is completely gone. Touching my bald head, I suddenly thought of something that scared me even more, and slowly looked down. I cried... What the hell is going on? Where did all the clothes go, and why did I become a dried corpse? Am I dead? Is this the River Styx next to you? Turning his head to look at the place where I had just fallen down. This is really the legendary River Styx, just like the River Styx in the movie, with a layer of fog floating on it. But I must have drunk a lot just now, and in addition to the strange taste, I could feel the water in my body, and even at this moment I suddenly started to get hungry. I didn't dare to scrutinize the changes in my body anymore, I didn't want to scare myself. He began to look east and west again. I want to see something around me, like whether there is a bridge or something. Unfortunately, apart from one river, nothing seems to have changed. Suddenly, I realized that the field of vision was far away, and now it should be five or six meters. Does it have something to do with the fact that I haven't opened my eyes for a long time? Saved eyesight?
With the river, I tried to drink some water again, and even took a step or two towards the river and raised my hand into the water, trying to see if there was a water monster or anything for me to eat, I was so hungry. I regained my sanity quite a bit, and I decided to follow the river. It is said that people who get lost in the forest do this. There will always be an exit. Although nothing was found along the river, not even plants. But I finally had the confidence to go out again.
At this moment, I felt like I had lived again, and I began to look forward to the future again. For example, if you go out, will you find yourself traveling to ancient times, and then live a wonderful story with some simple knowledge that you still remember. It's best to go out and find out that there is a simplest and crudest plug-in system or something, and then sweep through the immortal cultivation world. Anyway, it's best to marry Bai Fumei and go to the pinnacle of life. Well, even if it's not, if this is really Africa ... Will there be diamonds in this river? It's not bad to go home and build a hometown the size of a few pigeon eggs. Hey. As he spoke, he really walked away, kicking the small stones by the river, looking like he was seriously picking up money. But I forgot that my current skinny body was at the limit of my ability to move. I don't have the strength anymore, and drinking water doesn't work anymore. Is it really too late to see hope if we go on like this? With the same train of thought as before, no matter what, we still have to go on, and if we don't go, it's really a dead end. This time I started to try to actively enter the walking dead mode, because it seemed to save effort, and it didn't feel like time was passing. Maybe the next time you wake up, you'll be in the world of beautiful flowers.
However, this time I despair again that although I can really get into a similar state by imitation, and it really works in that state, I can't maintain that posture for too long. After trying two or three times, it is obvious that it only lasts about an hour each time, and the duration of each maintenance is shortening. Although it works, but in the end, I will die here because I can't open my legs. Gotta think of something else!
Sitting by the river and resting, thinking about what to do, and even whether it is possible that a ghost has hit the wall. While thinking about it, he picked up the small pebbles around him and threw them into the river, although he was weak, but if he didn't make any movements, he might not be able to think calmly at the moment, after all, that kind of pain, and this fog has always existed. After thinking about it for a long time, my arms began to feel a little weak when I threw stones so casually. Suddenly, I wanted to lie flat again, but the idea of being played by fate came to my heart, which made me very angry all of a sudden, and the adventure that I had been tossing for so long was an adventure, and finally it was this? With all his strength, he threw the stone in his hand towards the opposite side. Click~click~~~~? Thrown on a stone on the other side? Is this river so narrow? To verify, I threw a few more stones. I was worried that it would be a raised stone in the middle of the river, so I changed the position and threw it in a different direction. Although I usually throw a small stone at my hand may be able to throw forty or fifty meters with all my strength (I haven't measured it, but probably), but with my current physical condition, everything I do is a bit like slow motion, and I can only throw three or four meters when I just throw a stone. Based on the feeling, it should be enough to throw a stone for ten meters with all my strength now. Finally, in order to determine how far I lost, I would know how far this side would be from me. I think it's important to me, and if I can throw more than 20 meters, and the river is too deep, I'll have to be prepared for the risk. I also thought of throwing stones in other directions, so that I could know the distance by looking for stones in that direction. I didn't expect me to be so witty in this situation, and I really want someone to come out and praise me at the moment. It's a pity that I didn't find a stone thrown at the rocky shore, and I didn't find it even when I threw a stone at the weird flat ground. I wasted a lot of energy, and I wanted to slap myself again. But fortunately, I eventually thought of throwing a stone into the water, that is, a person retreating to the limit distance that I thought I had, throwing a stone into the river, and hearing the sound of water indicating that I could throw ten meters, and then I would go backwards until I reached the position of the sound of throwing the stone. If you hear a stone at the beginning, move on. In the end, the work of throwing stones was less than half an hour, and I was so tired that I choked. And most of the time was wasted looking for the stones to be thrown in the first place. Hey~ My IQ may be barely enough. I continued to think about it, because the visibility was about five meters at the moment, so I didn't think about whether it was a river or a stream in front of me. But it should be a river, because the width of the stones on this bank seems to be one or twenty meters wide... This one is not important, the important thing is that a new path has been discovered now. Eh~ If you use the river, it should be two new roads.
Thinking of this, I hurried closer to the water's edge. Reach into the water and feel the speed of the water first, and feel for anything strange in the river. No problem, and then step into the river with your feet. Slowly, after a meter, it's no problem. After two meters, it's still fine. This river is like an artificial drainage canal, there is nothing in it except stones, and the water flow is not fast, although now I add Brother Hei must be less than 100 catties. And it was very weak, but it was not a problem to stand more than three meters from the thigh. If the water is not deep, the current speed is not fast, and there is nothing in the river. So I've decided to cross the river first.
Just do it, in order to reduce the resistance, I even pinned the lower half of Brother Hei's body to the back of the waist. Then fix it with a scarf, the posture is a bit like holding the black brother princess. Then step by step, he continued to walk towards the other side. I've never been in a river before, and I haven't even learned how to swim yet. So I didn't have much experience, and sure enough, the river had just reached my chest, and the position of Brother Hei's ass was too resistant, and I actually squatted a little in order to stabilize my body. The two skinny little two blacks just went with the flow... Passive start planB!
That's impossible, my plan B is to find something like a boat and keep drifting down the river, if it goes well, maybe I can float out, if it doesn't go well for too long, I can only pray that someone will save me. What's the point of floating like this? Floating corpses? No matter how thin we are, we can't restore our prosperous appearance by soaking in water. So I couldn't swim, but I still burned the last of my life to swim to the other side, and I have to say, I really didn't know how much perseverance I had at that time. The pain all over my body has always been there, under normal circumstances, I would have been lying flat a long time ago, and then there is the appearance of this person who is not a ghost or a ghost, every movement is a miracle, and when I kicked the stone before, I kicked my finger and injured it, and the injured toe I don't know if it has been connected to the sole of the foot and washed away by the water. The black brother in my arms is still increasing the difficulty for me in the face of the current, if I maintain this great perseverance, I can live in the previous world, and I may have achieved something by now. But I can't think about this, the key to survival in the fog is to don't BB when you decide to act, and I can't do it in my heart! That's it!
