Chapter 72: Life is not broken
Jiang Yiyang crawled around for more than an hour, and was already panting, so he rested in the cracks, and the gravel, gold bars and jewelry on his back were very stalking, and he sighed in his heart: "It's really a man who dies for money, and a bird dies for food." I don't know if I can get out at the moment...... It's a pity that I didn't come well. Then he reached out and grabbed two handfuls into his pocket, and I don't know how many gravels and gems there were. Then he lay down on his arm as a pillow, and after a while, his ears became hot, and he said in his heart: "It must be that Qing'er and Rong'er miss me very much, and I don't know if they have escaped now, or they are trapped in the cave like me." ’
After resting for a while, he continued to explore the way, and it took two days and nights to reach a crack where water flowed, and then he was hungry and thirsty, and opened his mouth and drank several sips of water, and his mouth was clear and luscious, and a cold line of water went straight into his stomach. I made up my mind and thought, 'I have to think about it quickly, or I will starve to death if I don't die of thirst, but I can't see anything in this black pressure, and if I spend two more days exploring the way, I may not be able to find the way out.' Then he listened to the sound of the water, and then thought: 'Since there is a mountain spring flowing through, the downstream must lead to the river.' After thinking about it, he drank the spring water in his stomach again, and continued to follow the sound of the water downstream.
Another day, Jiang Yiyang has explored the end of the downstream of the ditch, the space is wider than other cracks, in front of him is a rock wall, as the rock wall explores around, after a while, he touches a crack, the space is narrow, but it is just enough for him to get into, and he doesn't know where to lead, at least he found a mouth, which can be regarded as a glimmer of hope. Then stretched out his head and arched inward, climbed not two steps, the gem in the inner pocket was difficult to move forward, and he had to hollow out the inner pocket to barely climb in, and he didn't know if there was a road ahead, so he hollowed out the inner pocket, and even the cheats of the wind god's leg method were also taken out, thinking that if there was no way ahead and then come back to pick it up, if there was a way out in front, it should be important to save his life. Then climbed more than ten zhang away, this crack gradually increased, and then advanced more than a zhang, and was able to stand straight. He straightened his waist and walked forward in the dark, the road suddenly turned, he didn't dare to be careless, he walked step by step, and he could hear the sound of the water getting louder and louder.
After walking more than ten zhang away in the dark, I could feel the sudden emptiness in front of me, the sound of the water flowing, and the feet were gradually soaked, Jiang Yiyang stretched out his feet and stepped forward into the void, and learned that there was no road ahead, presumably where the spring water flowed, if he jumped into the water and went down the stream, he couldn't see the reason clearly, the water flow has not been ventilated, but he was afraid that he would be drowned. But this is the only way to find, if you don't try it, return to the temple cave to find another way out, I am afraid that I will starve to death.
Jiang Yiyang stood on the edge of the rock wall and thought: "Instead of starving to death here, why don't you jump down and try, I, Jiang Yiyang, will die and no one cares, huh...... No, I still have a lover and Rong'er, if you don't see me for a long time, you must think that I am dead, and I don't know if they are still in the cave at the moment, ah! No matter what! There is no hope if you don't try, at least there is hope if you try!' I thought about it and raised my head and said: "God, grandpa, you didn't let me Jiang Yiyang die in this hole, I must have your blessing, if I jump down and die, I'm afraid I will fail you, or ...... You will manifest your spirit again, so that I can survive this catastrophe safely?" After saying that, he was stunned for a while, and then he really wanted to get a response, then sighed and said, "Dad...... Mother...... Bless the child to survive this catastrophe, and when I go back, I will build the cemetery high and big for you, so that your second elder can live comfortably, and then go and marry Qing'er and Rong'er, and add two grandchildren to your second elder......" Speaking of this, I secretly felt sad in my heart, and then said: "Okay, father, mother... I jumped. Then he took two deep breaths, picked up the internal force that had not recovered much, hugged his head and jumped away.
Only to hear a plop, Jiang Yiyang sank into the water in an instant, the water flow was big and urgent, he had to go down the water, several attempts to surface and hit his head, and held back for a moment, tried to surface, knocked into the rock wall again, choked on two mouthfuls of water when he landed, hurriedly clicked on the lung life point to spit out the two mouthfuls of water, and then surfaced on his back again, just exchanged two breaths and was drowned, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: 'What kind of sin has been created, and it has suffered such a tribulation. ’
After half an hour, the water flow gradually slowed down, Jiang Yiyang was washed to a wide area, the water was only waist-deep, he stood up panting, coughed up several mouthfuls of water, and couldn't help but 'grass'. Then he explored the path in the dark, and although the surroundings were wide, only the waterway was feasible, so he continued to walk down the current.
After walking for a long time, I heard the roaring sound in front of me getting louder and louder, like a lion roaring and a dragon's roar, maybe it was excessive fatigue, Jiang Yiyang stepped forward and stepped into the air, and fell into the water with a thud, and hurriedly stepped on the water to float out, and I could hear the water falling on the left and right, as if there were three water streams gathered here, at this time, the water splashed in the mouth and there was a little salt, as the water gradually accelerated, the sound of the water roaring in front of me was loud, Jiang Yiyang knew that the front must be falling sharply, but he couldn't see anything and panicked.
After a while, Jiang Yiyang hugged his head and fell sharply with the current, he used his internal strength to protect the vital point, and he didn't know if he would hit the rock wall or the water surface, and there was a plop after a while, and he was secretly glad in his heart, but he panicked in an instant, this time the water was bigger and more urgent, and his thigh hit the boulder under the water many times, and he couldn't dodge it at all, so he had to resign himself to fate.
Jiang Yiyang desperately protected his head, the water flow took him to the rock wall many times, he had not yet recovered his internal strength, his arm had been hit to the pain unbearable, at this time the water flow became more and more rapid, and his feet were hit again and his body was unbalanced, choking several mouthfuls of water, he had to let go of a hand to fetch water to regain balance, and at this moment, a knock on the side of the face hit the rock wall heavily, and he fainted in front of him. His body floated across the water and carried away with the rapids.
.....
"I lost all the dice last night, ......," one crew member complained.
Another crew member laughed: "Yes, don't let you bet with the boss of the ship, you won't listen." ”
The crew at the bow of the ship looked ahead and exclaimed, "Boss, there is a dead man floating there!"
The captain sat on the deck, smoking a cigarette, and said, "Scoop it up and search for anything of value on him." ”
The crew said: "The boss of the ship is still enough, in case it is a widow, how bad it is." ”
The captain of the boat took a look at it and said, "That one is dressed, not a wolf, go! ”
The two crew members immediately jumped off the boat and scooped Jiang Yiyang up and threw him on the deck, and the boat boss stepped forward and tossed his inner pocket, which was empty, and scolded: "Damn, a dead poor ghost, throw him down!"
The crew was stepping forward to support him, pressing one hand on his abdomen, Jiang Yiyang coughed up a few mouthfuls of water, and the boat boss exclaimed: "Ah, are you still alive?!"
The crew said, "That...... Still don't you want to throw it away?"
The boss of the boat looked at him, his whole body was swollen in many places, he must have been soaking in the sea water for many days, his hands and feet were blue and purple, and he couldn't work if he stayed, and he had to spend food to support him, so he said: "Throw it, throw it, waste one!"
At this time, a person came out of the upper second floor of the big ship, holding up the belly of a prime minister, and shouted: "Eh, what are you doing?"
The boat boss half-bowed when he boarded, and said, "Master Huang, we just fished someone up, thinking that he was still alive, but who knew that he was dead, so we were ready to throw him down." As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yiyang coughed and spit out two more mouthfuls of water.
