Because the water is so clear, the water in the center is deeper, so that it will not be detected at a glance. Originally, Jiu Ge was still puzzled why there were no aquatic creatures in such a large pool, and it turned out that the fish were all gathered in the depths of the pool. The further inside, I saw that the black and swarthy groups of fish were frightened and swam away, and the movements were light and did not make any waves, and when the two of them stood still, the fish gathered back, and with the cover of the fish, Jiu Ge felt a lot more relieved.

The center of the pool is about four or five meters deep, and the water seems to be a flat stone, covered with fine hair-like aquatic plants, disturbed by the two, from time to time touching Jiu Ge's exposed ankles, numb and itchy touch, Jiu Ge couldn't help but tremble, almost gasped a mouthful of cold "water", and even the children behind him were frightened, so they could only float up slightly, and their feet left the hairy aquatic plants.

But soon the two stopped, because the sound of people and barking dogs by the pool did not allow them to move any more.

It was impossible to distinguish the direction of the sound in the water, and it was not even clear what they were talking about, but it was certain that the patrol party had reached the water's edge, and the hounds might have found the freshly buried peel. Jiu Ge secretly scolded himself in his heart, he should have been thrown into the water if he knew it. Five or six minutes passed, and there was still no sign of the patrol team leaving, and the barking of the dogs became more and more intense. Fortunately, the Seven Star Sect's training in breathlessness was extremely cruel, although it was not as good as the world record of holding thynea underwater for twenty minutes, it was no problem to be bored for ten minutes.

At this moment, hope is all in the assumption just now, and life and death are all in the judgment of the hound. Because of the original injury, the body is too weak to work. At this moment, Jiu Ge, under the water pressure and lack of oxygen, his muscles were tense, his heartbeat was fast, and the sound of tinnitus drove severe pain in his head, and he was no longer more eager for air than at this time, and he couldn't wait to swim on the surface of the water and take a few breaths.

If the hound doesn't leave, even if they don't find Jiu Ge, Jiu Ge will die of a broken heart vein, of course, the possibility of drowning death is not ruled out.

A dead word left and right, dying in the water, is a hundred times better than being caught and tortured alive by them. Thinking like this, Jiu Ge slowly opened his mouth, and the thought of giving up became even stronger under the suffocation.

Suddenly, a small hand pulled Jiu Ge's palm and met the child's slightly closed eyes, Jiu Ge felt distressed for a while, this is not the time to give up. Close your lips again, maybe you can live by holding on a little bit, and never give up until the last minute.

"Peng..."There was a faint sound of falling water, and the ripples above his head rippled back one after another, and Jiu Ge was startled.

Something came into the water, maybe a human, maybe a hound, but whatever it was, Jiu Ge and the child would definitely die. The previous struggle flashed through Jiu Ge's mind like a joke, the life and death of the previous life, the life and death struggle of this life, and finally only the word "miserable" was left in his mind.

Jiu Ge's body slowly sank down, water seeped in from the seven orifices, and the child's small hand still held Jiu Ge's hand and didn't let go.

Suddenly, a whirlpool rolled the two of them and fell downward, the fish squeezed the fish, the people crowded, and smashed into the suddenly extra space at the bottom of the pool, and were smashed awake by the fish and water later, and the violent vibration caused Jiu Ge to cough for a while, coughing up all the water that had just choked.

After a few moments, the sound of falling water faded into silence. It should have touched some mechanism in the water and saved his life, and at this moment the mechanism automatically closes, which can be said to be twelve points of luck.

didn't hear the child's movement for a while, Jiu Ge hurriedly groped nearby, just now the child grabbed Jiu Ge's hand, it should have fallen together. At the moment, he was in complete darkness, and his surroundings were as dark as ink, and he couldn't see anything around him no matter what, so he had to grope slowly with his hands.

The child, who was finally found not far away, groped for his nose, his breathing was weak, he didn't choke on water, but fainted. In this way, Jiu Ge's clenched heart relaxed slightly. The most important thing to do at this moment is to look for a light source, and only by seeing the surrounding situation can you prevent danger before it happens.

Jiu Ge didn't wake up the child immediately, and fumbled around, looking for something usable nearby. Soon I touched some sticks and dry branches, and learned the method of drilling wood to make fire in the jungle exploration documentary, and slowly blew the branches with the sparks sharpened by the sticks.

The documentary was not in vain. Jiu Ge looked at the blazing fire in front of him and secretly praised himself.

The firelight illuminated the surroundings, which was not a small space, the ground was flat, more than three meters high, and the curved top was slightly convex downward where it had just fallen. Where the light does not reach, there is still endless darkness, and the space is even more vast.

Except for the place where Jiu Ge fell, which was a three-square-meter smooth bluestone, other places were paved with large and small pebbles, layer upon layer, and it was impossible to see what was under the pebbles.

In addition, there are obvious traces of human activity here, and the wooden sticks are neatly long, which should be artificial, and they are piled up more than half a meter high. The wood on the lower level has rotted, and it looks like it has been piled up here for a long time. At the inside end of the flat bluestone, there is a large protruding stone, like a table, flat but not smooth, with obvious traces of artificial excavation. There were some containers piled up on the table, and when I turned them over, there were all kinds of pots and pans, the spoons were cut from wood and had rotted, and the bowls and pans were carved from stone, and there were many stone flowers. It seems that the people of the Seven Star Sect have never discovered this place, and the mechanism above their heads quickly opened and closed, and there is not much water flowing in the pool, and the people of the mountain patrol team will leave if they can't find anyone. Although it is not ruled out that this place was excavated by the people of the Seven Star Sect, judging from the degree of decay of the wood, no one has been here for at least a hundred years, and it should be safe for the time being.

The bluestone is connected to the table, and below, there is a small hole, and under the hole is a bubbling water. There is an underground river here, thinking that Jiu Ge is looking at the dead fish on the pebbles, these fish can go down the river into the underground river and escape their lives, but because there are two more people, they are squeezed to the shore.

Jiu Ge sighed and began to clean up those containers, preparing to stew a pot of fish soup, nothing was more important than having enough to eat. Of course, it was also important to dry the clothes, so he turned around and took off the children's coats and trousers, and made a wooden rack by the fire to roast them.

After getting these things done, Jiu Ge picked up three fish and took the stone basin to the hole where he was launched. Mari rubbed off the dirt in the stone basin, found a sharp stone to scrape the scales clean, tore the belly of the fish alive, removed the internal organs and gills, washed it and threw it into the basin. The other two are secured with sticks and ready to be roasted over the fire.

Back to the fire, I moved three large pebbles to make a simple stove, and began to cook the fish while grilling it.

The fire flickered and scorched the skin of the fish, and the fat slowly dripped down, and after a while, the fish in the stone basin also swelled, and the whole space was filled with the smell of meat.

The child on the side woke up at some point, and his panicked face regained his composure after seeing Jiu Ge, who was immersed in the grilled fish. When I looked down, I saw that I only had underwear and pants left on my body, and my little face was hot and a little red.

Seeing him wake up, Jiu Ge handed him the dried clothes.

"Get dressed and eat for a while. ”

"Where is this?" asked the child as he got dressed.

"This is supposed to be a hole under the pool, we fell from the bottom of the pool, there is no danger here for the time being, don't worry. Jiu Ge smiled at him and handed him a grilled fish and a pair of chopsticks with a broken branch.

"Eat quickly, it's rare to have a safe place, and sleep well when you're full. After Jiu Ge finished speaking, he began to nibble on the fish, took two washed stone bowls, and drank the soup.

The child couldn't help but laugh at her eating appearance, trying to maintain her cold image, his eyes were soft, and a hanging heart was completely let go.

After eating and drinking, Jiu Ge added some firewood to the fire, and then lay down in the stone pile with his head covered and fell asleep.
