Breathable water

"Hello?" As soon as the patriarch was pushed into the cave where the apothecary lived, he saw the young man lying in the middle and the apothecary sleeping next to the table.

"You...... Okay, you can speak Mandarin? ”

"Yes, it seems that you are in much better shape, and you can already have a normal conversation." Lee replied.

"Give me back the picture."

"Oh, that's it, give it back to you, I'm sorry I moved your things." Li returned the photo to the boy, "What's your name?" With us, the name is important. ”

"Wending."

"Okay, Wending, my name is Li, I am the patriarch here, and I have a lot of questions for you."

"I'm afraid not, my brain is swollen and a lot of things are blurry."

"Hmm...... Do you remember why you came here? ”

"I don't remember...... All I knew was that I wanted to go home. ”

"That's probably going to be a bit difficult, you need to be our warriors."

"Warrior ......? Yes! Wen Ding suddenly began to scream, startling Ren who was sleeping not far away, and Ren hurriedly rushed over, "What's wrong?" ”

Li shook his head: "I shouldn't have asked, his injury is not healing, I am abrupt...... But it seems that he does have information about the warriors in his memory. ”

Ren glared at Ri and ran to the far wall for a moment - there were many squares on the wall, each with a different medicine in it, but he couldn't find what he was looking for. He pulled out a glass bottle from some unseen secret place on the other wall, with words written on it that Jen himself couldn't read, but the previous pharmacist had told him to feed him if the pain was too much for him to bear.

The apothecary slammed it, and the glass bottle shattered from its neck, and then all the pills inside splashed out and fell to the ground.

Ren was stunned: "I swear I didn't mean to!" They jumped out on their own! But that's what the previous pharmacist told me to open like this......"

Li didn't react, saw a pill popping next to the bed, and asked, "Do you want to give it to him?" ”

Jen nodded: "Eat one." ”

Li fed Wen Ding to eat this pill, and after a few minutes, Wen Ding gradually stopped struggling, and then Li saw the words on the glass bottle in Qingren's hand: "Calm"

The word is engraved, and it is Wu'an style.

Ren had already collected all the pills on the ground, wiped off the dust slightly, and put them back into the glass bottle, muttering to himself, "Oops." This is the medicine that the last thousand told me not to waste! That's how I sprinkled it...... No, they jumped out on their own...... But it's still sprinkled! ”

"Maybe it's not your problem, it's the bottle itself." Li prompted.

"The bottle won't move! Hey, I'm unlucky, I don't know if I'll spoil if I stay here. ”

Li didn't understand it himself, so he turned his head and translated the conversation with Wen Ding just now to Ren Heqi.

"Is it a photo? Is that the picture the patriarch was talking about? Kai said, "How did the patriarch know about the photo?" ”

"I haven't seen a picture before, I just wrote down all the things that the patriarch left me before." Li gestured with his hand. "Well, probably...... Two of this cave is such a big bamboo slip, of course, there are also some inscriptions on the utensils and other records, you have to go to the inside to understand more in the future, you don't need to write it all down like me, you just need to remember to see it, the location is the bottom of the well in front of the warrior monument, jump down directly, the predecessors have set up, after sinking, you will not suffocate like in a rainstorm, but you have to learn to breathe water, just like breathing air, well, you will adapt to it if you try it once. ”

Qi glanced at Ren next to him, then looked at Li, and understood: "It's okay, Ren won't go, since his wife ......"

Li deliberately didn't finish speaking, Kai also understood the meaning of Li, since Ren's wife died, Ren began to fear the outside world, and never left the cave again, the warrior monument is the only one in the cave that directly opens to the sky, Ren will not go there.

Ren turned his back to the two of them, he didn't know what the expression was, Li and Qi didn't speak anymore, and the three of them waited for Wending's awakening together. But then Li felt that it would be more appropriate to wait for Wen Ding's injury to heal before coming back, to avoid things like just now, so he let Qi push himself back to his residence.

Only Ren and Wending were left, Ren put down the broken bottle, and took out the pocket watch, this is his habit, he is used to looking at the watch alone in a daze, but he himself doesn't know why, but there is always an intuition telling him - he must keep it.

He seems to have forgotten something.

.......

Kai looked down at the well in front of him, hesitating whether to try to jump.

At this time, it was daylight, and a light came in from the hole called the skylight, and spread on the deliberately slanted warrior stele, which looked like a warrior staring angrily at the sky, angrily staring directly at the only light shining on his body.

The Warrior Monument is very large, the surface is smooth, from the angle of the well, it looks like a shining square sun, and after the light is reflected on it, it has become two beams, and the reflected sunlight illuminates the surrounding acupuncture points, extending far away.

The Warrior Monument is not a secret thing, and there are two market areas on the way here from Qi, and there are nearly fifteen roads leading to here. The aim is that everyone can look up to the light of the warriors.

Kai thought for a moment, and when he saw that there was no one around for the time being, he jumped down with his eyes closed.

The wellhead is small enough for only one person to pass through. Qi slowly sank in the water, subconsciously holding his breath, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to open his mouth and inhale heavily.

The well water poured into his lungs, the expected suffocation did not exist, but there was a different kind of coldness that stimulated his nerves, Kai couldn't help but cough twice, but with the cough came more well water filling his mouth and nose, he still couldn't learn to breathe the liquid at once, but he also got a good news - although he didn't know why, he could indeed breathe directly here.

Qi Qiang endured fear, I don't know how long it took, he felt a light in front of him, opened his eyes, Qi found himself in a vast water space, the surrounding walls showed that Qi was indeed still in the well, but the scene was different from everything Qi had seen before, it was like a square cave, the mouth of the well was the skylight of the cave, the well water was light blue, and the feeling of being in this place was wonderful, as if he had come to another world.

In the direction that Qi is looking at, the light is reflected and gathered together through a specific route, illuminating a large piece of bamboo slips, and there is a kind of thing above the bamboo slips that Qi can't name, and the light shines on it, so that the words on the bamboo slips can just be seen clearly, and then continue to reflect deeper at the bottom of the well, shooting in different directions.

Further down there are many bamboo slips illuminated by the same principle, the theory is not an exaggeration, this well is very deep, so deep that you can't see the end, he looked at the bright road continues to zigzag downward, and there are bamboo slips and cultural relics in every turning place. More than 1,000 years of precipitation have made this mediocre well have the deepest background of all the falls.

Line Qi grabbed a roll casually, but he hadn't learned how to control his ups and downs, and in an instant, he pulled down a piece of bamboo slips that he didn't know which patriarch had arranged, and countless bamboo slips floated on the water for a while. The bamboo slips floating in the water obscured the light, and Kai lost his sight.

Kai also had instincts, for a while he forgot that he could breathe in the water and began to struggle, his legs began to kick wildly, imagining jumping on land, like a wellhead 'jumping', his hands began to wave wildly, in a panic, Qi found that he had risen a considerable distance, and he could already touch the wellhead with his hand.

At this time, Qi realized that he would not suffocate at all, but he was too panicked.

Darkness makes people panic, which is why people are desperately running for the light.

Kai hesitated, relaxed, and sank down againβ€”he wanted to put the scattered bamboo slips back, and at the same time he wanted to see how deep the well really was.
