Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dark River
In the corridor, there was an unconscious Liu Xiaozhu.
There was blood on his face and clothes.
Aunt Liu wanted to step forward and hug her son, but she was worried about her son's injuries.
A day later, Dr. Du was invited to Shili Village again.
After showing Mrs. Liu's nose, she was invited to the third room of Liu's house.
After Dr. Du checked the pulse of the villain on the bed, his frowning brows slowly relaxed.
"Doctor Du, my son is ......" Aunt Liu's face was full of worry.
"Don't worry, Ling Lang is fine, but he was suddenly frightened and fainted. The old man prescribed a pair of soothing decoctions for him for a while, and after drinking it for three nights, he was able to live again. ”
"Then the blood on his body ......" Aunt Liu hesitated.
Doctor Du touched his beard, "The blood is not Ling Lang's, he only has some small abrasions on his body, and there is not so much bleeding." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Liu let go of her heart.
Seeing Dr. Du looking at her with a smile, Aunt Liu's heart became apprehensive again.
"Doctor Du, do you have anything else to explain?"
Dr. Du smiled with relief, obviously satisfied with her approach.
He smiled and said, "The old man has something to understand......
"Doctor Du, please speak." Aunt Liu was a little panicked.
"Yesterday, the old man checked Ling Lang's pulse, and the pulse clearly showed that the poison of the mushroom had invaded the heart, but today he checked the pulse again, but the pulse showed that the toxin had been eliminated, which made the old man puzzled. I don't know if Ling Lang took other medicines last night in addition to the detoxification soup that the old man came? ”
Aunt Liu was full of question marks, her son didn't take any medicine last night except for drinking a little too much antidote soup?
She could only tell the truth.
After listening, Dr. Du showed regret on his face.
At the same time, the Zhao family found Zhao Xiaohu, who was also unconscious, in the underworld leading to the corridor.
After the children's family and the two children hurried down the mountain, they went straight to Liu's house to ask Dr. Du to come to see him.
So far, among the four missing people, only Zhao Xiaowan and Zhao Xiaopang have not been found.
It seems that in addition to continuing to look down, I can only hope to get news about the other two from the mouth of the unconscious three.
"Dad, don't worry, we will definitely find my little sister!" Zhao Feng comforted his father.
On the other side, Zhao Shou was looking around at the underground cave where they were currently located with a bit of inquiry on his face.
The underground space here is more complex and larger than he imagined. Probably because it was too deep above the ground and often did not see the light, the whole space was extremely cold, and not only that, but there was a strange smell wafting through the air.
Zhao Shou couldn't describe the smell, like the smell of rotting corpses of some animals, and like the musty smell emitted by poor air circulation, in short, all kinds of strange smells were mixed together, once people stayed in the cave for a long time, they would be dizzy and dizzy, and they would be unconscious.
"Dad, you and your eldest brother should go up first!" Zhao Shou was a little worried about the old father.
Zhao Daniu didn't eat a drop of water all night, and his face looked a little sluggish.
He waved his hand with some difficulty, "If I find your little sister, I won't worry if I can't find her." ”
Zhao Shou was silent, pointing to a fork in the road in front of him:
"Dad, then I'll go over there first, and you and your eldest brother will rest first."
Because he has been practicing martial arts with his master since he was a child, his physical strength is much better than ordinary people, even if he stays up all night, he is still full of energy at the moment, and he does not show any fatigue.
"Go ahead," Zhao Daniu gasped with some difficulty, "If you have a clue, shout." ”
Zhao Shou held the fire fold all the way down, and he didn't know how long he walked, when he suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water in his ears.
Zhao Shou's ears moved slightly, and after listening for a long time, he found that it was not an illusion, but a real sound of running water. So, he made a decision and went with the sound of the water.
The closer you get to the current, the louder the water sounds and the air around you becomes more humid.
After a while, his clothes and shoes were soaked with moisture.
Zhao Shou's face was strange, "Could it be that this underground cave is actually connected to the underground dark river?" ”
The next moment, he was shocked by what he saw.
There is an underground dark river about tens of meters wide across the underground space that does not see the light of day, the strange rocks on both sides of the river bank are craggy, and above the dark river, there are countless dense chalcedony hanging upside down, under the impact of the turbulent water, the fierce waves are beaten.
From a distance, it was like a giant beast opening its abyssal mouth, which made people feel cold.
Zhao Shou originally planned to turn around and go back immediately, but he caught a sharp glimpse of the ...... scattered on the riverbank not far away
Bones?
Zhao Shou's face was strange, how could there be bones here?
He stepped forward to check it with a fire fold, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
It's human bones!
Zhao Shou was bold and searched around the neighborhood, and then found a truth that made him feel extremely frightened.
There are no less than ten hand bones alone!
In other words, the kidnappers of the little sister have at least five lives on their hands!
Zhao Shou, who hurriedly ran back, didn't realize that the shadow of the boulder not far from him was hiding the little sister he was thinking about.
Old man Su watched the man go away with a faint gaze.
"It's a bit of a hassle." Old man Su sighed faintly, turned around, and looked at a man and a woman who were unconscious on the ground.
Squatted down, reached out and patted the boy's fat face, as if he was regretting, "It's really a good life." ”
If it weren't for the fear that the killing would cause extraneous complications and delay his transfer, he would definitely deal with these two people first.
But now that this place has been discovered, he can't be sure whether the man will turn back, and after weighing it, he can only regret giving up this idea.
While most of the attention is in the cave, it's a good time to shift.
Hearing the sound of broken footsteps in the distance, Zhao Xiaowan, who was pretending to be dizzy, immediately secretly opened a slit in his eyes.
Seeing that Old Man Su actually wanted to run! How can this work!
Zhao Xiaowan sat up from the ground with a "pout", and when she got up, she wanted to catch up, but when she noticed Zhao Xiaopang beside her, she had to drag the person to a position where she could be easily discovered, and when she finished doing all this, Old Man Su's figure had almost disappeared into the darkness.
didn't have time to think about it, Zhao Xiaowan immediately followed.
Maybe Old Man Su didn't expect that Zhao Xiaowan had been pretending to be dizzy all the time, and he was not worried that he would be discovered at all, on the contrary, he was very confident in this underground cave that he accidentally discovered, and he really let the stupid and bold Zhao Xiaowan follow.
Zhao Xiaowan followed Old Man Su all the way, and when he saw him turning around along the dark river, he didn't know when he actually walked out of the underground space and came to the depths of Panlong Mountain, and he suddenly felt shocked.
Who would have thought that the outlet of the underground dark river would be in the depths of Panlong Mountain!
If she hadn't followed, I'm afraid that Old Man Su would have escaped successfully and would have been at large for a lifetime.
Zhao Xiaowan thought like this, but he didn't notice it at all, and after the old man Su walked for a while, he gradually stopped.
