Chapter Twenty-Nine: Searching for Water in the Cave

He stood up and groped for a person, and the short sword was cut a few times, and the restraints on his body were released, and Li Yihang asked him: "Do you have a fire knife and flint fire fold on your body?" The man said: "Yes." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The man took out the fire knife and flint, shook the fire fold, and with the faint light, Li Yihang loosened the ties for the rest of the people. The five of them had to escape death, and they were all excited.

The man with the fire tool groped for the debris around him, the cave suddenly lit up, and he could roughly see the surrounding situation, Li Yihang found a wooden stick and lit it, raised the wooden stick torch and looked up, only to see that the slope that he had just fallen down was about two zhang high from where he was, and it seemed that it was not easy to go up, so he said: "Can you still move?" Several people replied: "It's okay." Li Yihang said: "Make the fire bigger and see the terrain in the cave." ”

When the fire was bright enough, everyone was exclaimed, and their hearts were pounding, only to see that the space in the pit was quite large, and it seemed that they could walk inside, and the soles of their feet were full of bones and corpses, there were dozens of white bones, and there were seven or eight maggots that were rotting, and there were four or five bodies that looked like they had just died.

One person said weakly: "If there is no water to drink, we will have maggots like this corpse!" Li Yihang still felt thirsty, but knew that as long as there was no water to drink for a few days, people would die, so he immediately said: "Without further ado, let's find a way to go out, everyone light a few more torches, see if there is a place to settle on this rock wall, and climb up to escape." When everyone heard this, they were all disappointed, and saw that the cliff where they fell was smooth and sharp, and there was no place to focus on. A few people tried to take a ladder, but at most three ladders were built, and the reach was less than half of the slope, and everyone was already weak, and they were so tired that they were panting and sitting on the ground.

One said: "It seems that in the end, I will be buried here like these bones, but as a free ghost, haha, it is better than them." Another person asked Li Yihang: "Is this girl also sick? Was she thrown down with you?" Li Yihang said: "Yes, she was crazy and bit people indiscriminately, biting me a few times, and then she and I were inexplicably tied up into zongzi, carried here and thrown down." ”

The man said: "This girl has no way to say that she has a straight figure, so it's a pity to die!" Another person asked: "What happened to you and her?" Li Yihang told him in detail about what happened to him, and finally asked: "What's wrong with the few of you?" Several people replied in the same way, all said that after the year and the New Year, mad dogs were rampant in Yuezhou City, biting and biting many people, all of them were attacked by mad dogs for no reason, although they did not have a seizure now, but everyone knew about being bitten by mad dogs, and the people in the city changed their color when they heard about mad dogs and infected people, and everyone launched to beat dogs and catch bitten people, regardless of whether we were sick or not, they were all sent here to die.

Li Yihang said: "Didn't you get healed after being bitten by a mad dog?" In the early days of the outbreak of rabies, a neighbor was bitten by a dog and came to my house for medical treatment, my father saw him pitiful, did not make a noise, and left him to apply to him externally and internally, during which nothing happened, but a few days later he suddenly fell ill, at that time I was changing his dressing, and was bitten by him coldly, the man died within a few days, and then I was tied up and thrown here, alas, I was kind enough to save people, but I ended up like this, do you say there is anything more wronged than me?" Li Yihang patted him on the shoulder and comforted: " Both of us have suffered a kind loss, and after we arrive in the underworld, Lord Yama will definitely give priority to arranging for us to be reincarnated. ”

Everyone introduced each other, one was called Mao Zhe, one was called He Lei, one was called Huang Yingdai, one was named Peng Wuhui, and the last person was Lou Kaitai. Mao Zhe was much older than the others, stood up and said: "Everyone, we can't go out the same way, stay here and wait for death, after a while, we will be even more thirsty and weak, and we can't move if we want to, why don't we go deep into the cave now to see if we can find water or an escape exit." Everyone agreed in unison.

At this moment, the girl muttered, opened her eyes, and woke up, her whole body trembled, and she whimpered in a low voice, but she did not go crazy. Huang Yingdai asked, "How is this woman, do you want to take her?" Peng Wuhui said: "She has already had a seizure, even if she eats and drinks, she will die in a few days, just leave her here." He said that he was the one who was bitten by the patient, and he was obviously very wary of people who had a rabies attack.

Lou Kaitai said: "Just leave her here, it's too dangerous to take with you, what if she suddenly bites someone again?" He Lei smiled: "Everyone is a person who has been bitten by a mad dog, and I don't know if her poison is strong or the poison on our body." Li Yihang also smiled: "I also bit her just now, if she dares to bite again, let's bite her together, let's see who is afraid of whom!" Mao Zhe said: "Since this is the case, then take her, and don't let her die in this ghost place, lest she be bullied by these stinky tofu brains as a young girl." As he spoke, he kicked the dead man in the ground.

Li Yihang said: "If you want to go quickly, everyone will tear off the clothes on the dead man's body and tie them on sticks, and make more torches to illuminate it. "Everyone said yes, there are a lot of bamboo poles and sticks in the cave, and there are many rags and rags, and all the rags and clothes are soaked in corpse oil, and it is very easy to ignite. Everyone was busy, a total of more than 20 torches, each can be burned for about half an hour, Mao Zhe said: "Everyone save money, try to light only one torch at a time, don't run out of water or outlet without finding it, let's go." Li Yihang helped the girl up, afraid that she would move around, so he tied one end of the rope to her hand, and held the other end in his hand, and led her.

The cave is full of rocks, there is no way to go, everyone is high and low, take one step at a time, the more you go inside, the more cold and damp you feel, Huang Yingdai said: "It seems that there is groundwater in the depths of the cave, speed up the pace!" Everyone is very excited, and their feet seem to be more powerful. Li Yihang held the woman, feeling that although she was unconscious, her steps were very light and flexible, and she was no slower than herself.

Peng Wuhui was also very surprised, and said to Li Yihang: "In the past, as long as she was a mad bies patient, after the excitement-manic period, she would be comatose or paralyzed, and her whole body was weak, but now she is so quiet, neither excited nor comatose and paralyzed, it is really strange!" Li Yihang said: "Maybe she is still in the manic period now, but she just broke her brain and quieted down." ”

Lou Kaitai, who followed behind, said: "Does she still have brains? If she has brains, she won't bite people indiscriminately." The girl suddenly screamed "Wang, roar", He Lei smiled: "Look, you say she has no brains, she is angry, be careful to bite your throat, poison you will not die, and blood will kill you." The crowd got up.
