Chapter Twenty-Four: Into the Devil's Den (Part II)
Bai Shasha linked the depth of water with spells, and used "there must be demons when things go wrong" as an explanation, and Dugu Che next to her glanced at her and didn't say anything.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Wanxiao suddenly said, "Let's go down again!"
"We?" Bai Shasha was stunned, "You don't want to ......"
"Yes!" Wanxiao nodded, "I mean, the three of us go down together." ”
This proposal made Bai Shasha retreat again and again, waving his hand and saying, "If you want to go, I can not go! Besides, you don't know how to water, aren't you going down to find death?"
Li Wanxiao put her hands on her chest and looked at the calm and waveless water, "Just now Dugu Che went into the water alone, and the time is limited, it must be difficult to find, but the key is not here, but we have ignored a very important problem." ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them looked at her at the same time, and Bai Shasha said strangely: "What's the problem?"
"Do you think, there is still a girl in the sedan chair of the greeting team, we don't know water, can that girl be water?"
Dugu Che, who stood by the waterhole and didn't say a word, squinted slightly, yes, they all ignored a problem, although the waterhole is deep, the welcoming team may not have dived underwater, after all, the girls who were snatched from the village may not be able to water, so the entrance is likely to be on the side wall underwater. If that's the case, if they go into the water together to find it, there is no need to dive too deep, and they can quickly determine the location of the entrance.
The feasibility of this method is actually very high, Li Wanxiao feels that Dugu Che's water is good, as long as he holds his breath and lets him swim while swimming, it shouldn't be too difficult?
Is she calculating Dugu Che?
Shouldn't it count?
Bai Shasha, who had figured it out, leaned over with a smile, "You're quite smart, we didn't expect it!" But if you want to go into the water, I'll still say the same thing, you two go, I'll take care of the house." ”
Seeing that Bai Shasha was iron-hearted, Li Wanxiao gritted her teeth and looked at Dugu Che, "Let's go down in a while and carefully check the underwater sidewall!" After finishing speaking, seeing Dugu Che take off the coat he was draping on his body and prepare to enter the water again, he suddenly felt a little unbearable, so he walked over and grabbed him, "If you are tired, take a rest, we just need to go back to the village before dark, we don't have to rush so much." ”
Dugu Che looked at her, shook his head slightly, his long hair was wet and sticking to his back, his soaked clothes were also clinging to his body, and the lines of his strong body were almost unobstructed, so that the moment he took off his coat, Bai Shasha's eyes were straight!
Li Wanxiao didn't think there was anything special, when Dugu Che was injured and was sick in bed, she had been taking care of her closely, wiping her body and changing clothes, what had she not done? In other words, she knew how many scars this person had!
The small movements between the two women, of course, Dugu Che didn't notice. He looked at Wanxiao steadily, and then without saying a word, he pulled her towards the waterhole. The pool is bottomless, which is a very big test for a person who has never been in the water. Li Wanxiao exhaled deeply, grabbed Dugu Che's hand tightly, and secretly swore in her heart that when the murderer was found, she would beat him hard!
Feeling her nervousness, Dugu Che also shook her hand, and the firmness in his eyes was reassuring.
Without further delay, the two held hands and went into the water. Li Wanxiao didn't do anything, just closed her eyes tightly, the water around her was flowing rapidly, and it was cold and dark all around, and she couldn't breathe. It was already very uncomfortable to hold her breath underwater, so she didn't use any strength to swim at all, and completely relied on Dugu Che's strength to shuttle through the water.
Soon the surrounding water gradually quieted down, Dugu Che looked back at her, patted her forehead with his other hand, and signaled that he could open his eyes. Li Wanxiao tried to slowly prop up her eyelids, her eyes were blurry, and she barely saw a black figure in front of her, she knew that it was Dugu Che.
Blinked, and the line of sight gradually became clear. Time was pressing, and Li Wanxiao felt that she could hold on for a while, so she patted his hand and motioned for him to check on the right, and he was responsible for the left.
Dugu Che nodded, his body turned very flexibly in the water, and he swam twice before disappearing into the distance. Looking at the rapid movements of others, Li Wanxiao couldn't stop sighing in her heart, and then turned around and struggled to "squirm" in the water.
She can't swim, but she can hold her breath! I didn't realize that I was so good at holding my breath before, but now that I suddenly use it, I feel a little proud! Think about it, anyway, it's also in the water, and it shouldn't be particularly difficult to paddle with your hands and feet, right?
If you look at it from the shore, you will feel that this waterhole is not big, even if you are lazy and inactive like Li Wanxiao, you will not pant for breath if you run around it. But after diving underwater, it's not like this, you have to paddle with your hands and feet when you can't breathe, and you have to find a hidden entrance here, and you only feel that the breath you held before entering the water is consumed very quickly!
At this time, she had just touched the side wall of the waterhole, and before she could take a closer look, the feeling of tightness in her chest was getting worse and worse.
Sure enough, being able to hold your breath doesn't mean you can swim for a long time, swimming is a physical job!
Holding back the pain of not being able to breathe, she reached out and touched the wall inch by inch, a lot of mud floating with the movements of her hands, and the water around her gradually became muddy.
No! I don't have enough gas!
Why hasn't Dugu Che come back yet? Come and save me!
The feeling of suffocation came flooding over, and the eyes were blackened for a while, and my hands and feet struggled desperately in the water, trying to grasp a life-saving straw. She never thought that she would drown one day, or lose her life because she was meddling in other people's affairs!
It's too late to regret it now, but she doesn't want to die yet!
When I closed my eyes, I only felt a sudden flow of water behind me, and the whole person was trapped. Maybe this is what it feels like to die, thinking faintly in my heart, everything will be dark.
"Come on, come on, hurry up and bet, bet all!"
"Kuroko, hurry up, what are you betting on big and small?"
"You hurry up, don't bet on Lao Tzu anymore!"
A group of people shouted so loudly that people couldn't sleep and were annoyed! Li Wanxiao opened her eyes violently and yelled, "Stop arguing!"
There was a sudden silence around him, and after a while, someone spat on the phlegm, and said viciously: "The little girl woke up quite quickly, and the labor and management play is still in the way of you?
Clang!
A machete slammed into the ground! The surrounding area was noisy again......
The corners of Li Wanxiao's mouth twitched, and she looked around, what kind of place is this? Dirty cell, a group of big men who are gambling on dice! Look down at yourself, handcuffed and shackled, locked in the corner of the cell like a felon, the clothes on your body are still wet, and you can still squeeze out the water by reaching out and holding a handful.
Recall that I went into the water with Dugu Che to find the entrance before, and after separation, I seemed to be drowning, I thought I would be drowned, who would have thought that I would wake up in such a ghost place, and become a prisoner?
What's going on? Is she dead or not?
Leaning against the wall, I didn't have much strength to get chills, so I barely moved my hand to my thigh, and twisted it hard with the strength of breastfeeding!
Damn, it hurts!!
Rubbing her thighs that were pinched by herself, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she didn't die if it hurt, God blessed! But who can tell her, what is the situation in front of her?
Before he had time to think about it, a man walked in from the outside, ignored the noise of the cell bosses, opened the cell door, handed her the clothes he was holding, and threw a bunch of keys in his hand.
"Change your clothes, I'll wait for you outside. ”
The man walked away, and his unquestionable tone was completely conceited. Holding the clothes, Li Wanxiao was stunned for a while, and then used the key to open the chain three times and two times. Whatever that guy does, get out of here first!
Because there was a group of big men who were gambling on dice outside, it was inconvenient for her to change her clothes, so she put the robe given by the man directly outside, tied her belt, and strode out of the cell.
A few cell bosses were not surprised, and ignored her, and continued to shout and play with them.
The cell here is not large, except for the one where she stays, there are two cells of the same size, and there is no one living in them, and it seems that she is the only "prisoner" here.
Walking out of the prison gate, the young man from before looked her up and down a few times, and said indifferently, "Follow me." ”
"Oh. Li Wanxiao didn't ask much, and followed the man forward. This is a very ordinary courtyard, through the courtyard gate, through the promenade. There are maids coming and going along the way, and there are not many people, so it seems a little deserted.
The sun shines on the body very warmly, but unfortunately the clothes inside are still wet, and it is very uncomfortable to stick to the body. Suddenly remembered Dugu Che's wet appearance, and his heart sank from Wanxiao, and he didn't know what happened to him?
With thoughts spinning in his head, he soon followed the man to a beautiful garden. The man stopped, pointed to the pavilion not far away, and said, "Childe is waiting for you there, you can go by yourself." ”
Childe?...... Looking up, in the pavilion, a young man dressed in rich clothes was drinking tea, and there was a beautiful woman wearing a big red wedding robe sitting beside him.
Li Wanxiao turned his heart sideways, and walked over boldly, if he comes, he will be safe, no matter what kind of demon he is, he will talk about it first!
Seeing her coming, the boy got up with a smile, walked out of the pavilion, and politely said sideways: "The girl came just in time, and she is entertaining guests, please take a seat." ”
Banquet guests? Hmph! He sneered in his heart, and didn't give him a good look on his face, so he walked straight into the pavilion. However, as soon as he entered, he was dumbfounded, the guest of this son's banquet was actually ......
Dugu Che?!
