Three hundred and sixty-nine drowning
The underground river water was bitterly cold, and everyone had fallen into the water, and suddenly felt a tingling pain all over their bodies, and the cold went straight from the skin to the viscera, and they felt that even the blood was going to coagulate. After a while, I felt my body stiffen, and my limbs began to go numb.
Wang Weihan and Mei Ruohong Ye Ling were a little lucky, and they each grabbed a large piece of the wooden boat fragment and were struggling to climb the fragment. But the river water is so cold for some reason, as soon as it enters the water, it is like falling into an ice cave, and the three of them struggle to slide their hands and feet, but they feel that the limbs are moving slowly, as if they have been filled with lead, and they are extremely heavy.
The others could only swim desperately towards the other fragments. In addition to Fan Tong, Han Dada'er, Li Huan and Chen Feiyang also carried backpacks, and there were a lot of supplies and equipment in the bags.
Tianjin Weijiu River bottom, the river potholes are numerous, although it can not be said that everyone is as proficient in water as Wei Xiaowu in the waves, but there are not a few people who know water, but some of them are born landlubbers, even if they learn to plane twice, at most it is not easy to drown in the puddle, and if they really want to fall into the river, they will still die.
Chen Feiyang is one of them, he is a little stronger than the water, if the ordinary pothole struggles a few times and the dog can climb up, the slightly deeper pool is enough to choke and survive, not to mention the cold and biting underground river.
He wanted to get rid of the backpack, but the backpack buckle was too deadly, and the river water was cold and soon he lost his fingers, let alone tear the backpack open. He only felt that his body was sinking under the fall of his backpack, his hands and feet were stiff, his body was stiff, and his whole body was soaked in cold, as if even his bones had frozen into ice from the inside out.
At this time, Han Da'er took a breath of internal qi, and suddenly felt that there was a warm current in the dantian, which could slightly resist the cold in the water. He saw that Fan Tong and Li Huan had already swam desperately to a piece of wooden boat fragments, but he didn't see Chen Feiyang surface, so he immediately took a deep breath and dived towards the bottom of the river.
Although the river is cold but still clear, the light shines into the river, and there is a visibility of seven or eight meters. I don't know how deep this underground river is, except where the light can reach, and beyond that is darkness, as if the bottom of the river is a dark deep ditch deep and pitch black.
He opened his eyes in the water and searched around, and a school of small fish swam in the distance, which muddied the river a lot.
Suddenly, after seeing a school of fish, a figure sank towards the bottom of the dark river, it was Chen Feiyang!
Han Daring hurriedly swam towards him, but Chen Feiyang sank very quickly, if he was a little delayed, I was afraid that he would fall into the dark bottom of the river, and when the time came, how could he save him.
The deeper he went, the more cold he felt on his body, and Han Da'er only felt that although he had internal qi to protect his body, his hands and feet were numb and his movements were slow.
Fortunately, just as Chen Feiyang was about to sink into darkness, Han Daring grabbed him. Swim towards the river.
Chen Feiyang was pulled by Han Daring, and the backpack strap pulled his strength downward, and he was pulling out of his chest and abdomen in one breath, a bubble bubbled in his mouth, and he woke up suddenly.
was in a panic in the water, and when he saw Han Daring pulling him, he seemed to see a life-saving straw, and reached out to hug Han Daring.
At this time, Han Daring had been looking for someone in the river for too long, and his breath had already been suffocated, and he was about to swim to the water, but he was hugged by Chen Feiyang, and the two sank to the bottom of the river again.
Han Daring felt that Chen Feiyang was holding his hand like an iron hoop and steel tongs, and he couldn't imagine that a person who wanted to grasp the life-saving straw would give birth to such a strong force. At this time, the air between his chest and lungs seemed to be pressed out of his body, and he just wanted to take a sharp breath, but this breath must be cold river water.
At this time, the two of them sank to the bottom of the dark river, and the light above their heads was almost invisible, Han Daring struggled, twisted his elbow back, and hit Chen Feiyang's head, and then felt the arm on his neck loosen.
Han Daring was overjoyed, but suddenly his waist tightened but he was hooked by Chen Feiyang. He was short of breath, and the blow just now failed to knock Cheng Feiyang unconscious, but he received a blow but stretched out his arm again to hug Han Da'er.
Han Da'er could only struggle to grab Chen Feiyang's arm, on the line between life and death, he didn't know where to give birth to a force, and he actually broke Chen Feiyang's iron hoop-like arm, only to feel that his hand slipped, as if he had broken the flesh on his arm.
Then he turned around and punched Chen Feiyang in the forehead. Chen Feiyang was already dazed and unconscious, and he was hit by an elbow just now, and when he was punched again, he fainted.
Han Daring twisted his body, at the bottom of the dark river, bypassed Chen Feiyang by feeling, reached out to hook his neck, and swam towards the river with all his might, seeing that he was about to reach the river, as soon as his head was out of the water, he suddenly felt that something was entangled in his legs, and his body sank, he thought it was Chen Feiyang, but Chen Feiyang was hooked by his neck and lost consciousness.
As soon as he showed his head, he didn't have time to breathe in before he sank into the water again. The moment the river was over his head, he saw large patches of colorless mayflies, greedily devouring a layer of bluish grease floating on the surface of the river.
These transparent and colorless mayflies emit blue-green fluorescence all over their bodies after eating blue oil, but it is the blue light on the river surface that the wind and fog dissipate when they are on the platform.
Looking up at the light on the river, Han Da'er felt as if his heart was about to explode, and his chest was suffocated and could not be suppressed, so he opened his mouth and inhaled suddenly, and then the cold river water poured into his mouth and nose from all directions.
Under the blue light on the surface of the river, Han Daring saw the situation at the bottom of the river clearly, the bottom of the river was not deep, but the riverbed was covered with a large number of black carapaces, like lobster shells, black and shiny, and the light blue oil was secreted from the carapace, and wisps floated to the surface of the water.
It turned out that he was not entangled in anything, but the trouser leg of his ankle, hooked by a sickle-shaped carapace the size of an adult's arm.
These carapaces were the remains of some kind of aquatic creature, and they just happened to hook his trouser legs. At this time, his mind was confused, his eyes were black, and his consciousness was gradually blurred.
At this moment, the water splashed, and a figure jumped into the water, breaking through the blue light on the surface of the water, and swimming towards Han Daring......
……
I don't know how long it took, Han Daring slowly opened his eyes, only to see a pretty face with tears in his eyes, staring at him and crying with joy, but it was Ye Ling.
He was lying on a gravel beach by the river, and the beach was all gray-white sand and pebbles. There was a bonfire lit not far from him.
Mei Ruohong also sat beside him by the fire, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were blue from the cold, his whole body was trembling, and he was warming himself by the fire. When she saw that Han Da'er had finally woken up, she breathed a sigh of air.
Ye Lingdao:
"Big brother! Fortunately, Sister Mei jumped into the water to save you, otherwise you really fed the fish this time! ”
Only then did Han Dada'er know that it was Mei Ruohong who went into the water to save him just now.
Mei Ruohong was afraid of water when she was a child, but later when she was in school, Han Daring taught her to swim, and then she went to Xixi to swim every summer. Later, she went abroad to study abroad, and also participated in swimming competitions, and won the runner-up in an intercollegiate swimming competition.
She had already climbed the driftwood, but it could be seen that Han Daring dived into the water to save people, and she didn't float for a long time, so she immediately jumped into the water to look for it, and then dragged Han Daring, who was about to lose consciousness, to the surface of the river.
The rest of the people helped pull them to the driftwood, and when they saw that the river bank was not far away, they paddled hard, and finally came to this gravel beach.
He thought of the glowing mayflies on the surface of the river just now, and the black carapace at the bottom of the river, which he always felt as if he had seen them somewhere.
He struggled to look around, and saw that Chen Feiyang was also rescued ashore, leaning against the fire, and couldn't stop coughing, so he was relieved.
The river was too cold, and everyone gathered around the fire to dispel the cold. Wang Weihan had burns on his face and hands, and he was soaked in river water, and he felt even more itchy and painful on his face. Mei Ruohong took out a small iron box, took out penicillin and gauze medicine wrapped in wax paper from it, first gave Wang Weihan an injection, and then let him take some anti-inflammatory drugs, and finally took out gauze to wrap his head and face, but the bandaging was too many, wrapping Wang Weihan so that only his eyes, nostrils and mouth were exposed, if Han Daring woke up a little later, I am afraid that he would not be able to recognize who this was.
Li Huan was wounded on the shoulder, and at this time he was drying the gauze and redressing the wound.
Chen Feiyang choked a lot of water, and he had been groggy before, but at this time he was even more depressed, but his life was still precious. I saw that he also had gauze wrapped around his ankles, and some blood oozed from under the gauze, which seemed to be a few scratches.
Han Daring thought about it, just now under the water, it was he who hooked his waist with his legs, and grabbed it in a panic, it turned out that he had scratched his ankle, but he thought he had grabbed his arm.
Fan Tong took out some canned food and food from the few remaining backpacks and devoured them. The clothes on everyone's bodies were a little tattered, especially Fan Tong, who looked even more ragged, and only his buttocks were not exposed.
Han Daring saw that there were many small sarcomas on his arms and neck, and suddenly remembered that he had waited with his little head earlier, and sent him to the hospital, and when the doctor examined him, he also saw that he had such a small sarcoma on his body, and the doctor said at that time that this was a wart grown from low immunity.
Seeing that everyone was fine, Han Daring relieved his heart, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, remembering the word warts, coupled with the scars on Chen Feiyang's ankles, he suddenly thought of something that he thought was important, and was about to struggle to get up, but he was so tired that it was difficult to support, and he fell asleep as soon as he turned his head.
After about an hour, I suddenly felt that someone was shaking my shoulder, and when I opened my eyes, it was Li Huan. I saw Li Huan make a silent gesture, and then pointed towards a bush in the distance!
Han Daring sat up and saw that everyone else had woken up, and the fire beside him had been extinguished with sand. The others gathered not far in front, and leaned down beside a large rock, covering themselves and looking ahead.
Han Da'er saw that the river beach was gently sloping upward, and not far ahead was a black thorn shrub, the shrub was very broad and tall, and there was no end in sight.
The thorny shrubs resemble a black forest, with overlapping shrubs that are eight or nine meters high at the highest point. Although the bushes are dense, there are still many gaps in them that people can walk through, but the shrubs often have spikes, so you should be extra careful when passing through them to avoid being pierced by the spikes.
Han Daring didn't know the situation, so he followed Li Huan and quietly moved to the boulder, leaned over next to everyone, and looked in the direction Li Huan pointed.
Mei Ruohong said in a low voice:
"I've never seen this kind of black shrub, and I don't know if it's poisonous, we have to be careful, in case the spikes are poisonous, and they may die at any time if they are pierced, there is a kind of poison arrow tree in the rainforest, also known as seeing blood to seal the throat, it is a kind of ......"
"Shh
Han Daring made a silent gesture, his eyes fixed on the bushes in the distance.
I saw the bushes shake from here, and then there was a crackling sound, which was the sound of knives cutting through the bushes and stepping on the bushes.
In addition to Han Dada'er and these people, there are also the Oriental devils and a group of people behind, and the group of Sanyang Sectists who came down earlier. It wasn't certain whether they had climbed through the walls, but now listening to the sound of machetes chopping through the bushes, it was almost certain that these people had crossed the underground river and had come to this area of black bushes, and had already taken the lead and entered the bushes.
Along the way, it was found that the casualties of this group of people were reduced one after another, and it was estimated that there should be only five or six people left. However, those people are very hard in their hands, and they may have both long and short guns, and Han Da'er's side, in addition to some cold weapons on his body, currently only has a pocket pistol in Wang Weihan's hand.
If there was really an encounter, someone on Han Da'er's side would definitely be injured or even killed, so Han Da'er gestured and motioned for everyone to be as quiet as possible and follow behind each other from a distance.
Han Daring saw that Chen Feiyang was not in a good state, he had drowned and choked a lot of water just now, and Wang Weihan was also injured, so he planned to let him stay and rest first, Mei Ruohong stayed to take care of them, and Ye Ling was responsible for the safety of several people. Han Daring himself went into the bushes with Fan Tong and Li Huan to explore the way.
Although Fan Tongyi did not endanger everyone, and to some extent, he helped a lot, but Han Da'er was always at ease with him, so he had to take him with him when he acted.
Han Daring saw that the terrain on the river beach was vast, and there was no other shelter except for two or three big rocks. If Mei Ruohong and the others stayed here, once they were discovered by the previous group, there would be nowhere to hide, so it was recommended that they go into the bushes together, and then find a hidden and safe place to stay. A few of them will follow first, and if possible, find an opportunity to sneak attack and deal with the gang in front of them in one fell swoop.
Wang Weihan originally had to go together, but his physical strength couldn't keep up, so he could only promise to stay and rest first, and Han Dada'er left markers along the way, and when their physical strength recovered a little, they would catch up with Ye Ling and Mei Ruohong.
The crowd waited for a while, then slowed down and went into the bushes together.
