Seeing that the water below me was getting closer and closer, the light beam in my hand told me that I could reach the shore not far away, but when I was still hesitating, the rope in my hand suddenly loosened.
There were still two or three meters away from the water. My whole body became weightless and I fell straight down.
Before I was prepared, I choked the moment I fell into the water. My whole body continued to feel like I wanted to breathe, but I couldn't breathe. My body was surrounded by cold water. I tried to cough but couldn't. As soon as I coughed, I was absolutely dead.
You can only inhale more water and enter the respiratory tract.
This feeling is simply an indescribable torture!
Just when I was doubting whether I would just admit it here, I felt someone holding my head and lifting my mouth and nose out of the water.
I didn't have time to open my eyes to see who it was. After a burst of earth-shaking coughing, I couldn't wait to take a big breath, so that the surrounding oxygen could fill my shriveled alveoli.
At this time, my head was in pain like an explosion due to lack of oxygen. I muttered in my heart, 'If I can't die this time, will my head become 250 because of lack of oxygen?'
"Sanman...Ye Sanman, open your eyes..."
"Sanman, why are you down too?"
At this time, I had been dragged onto the land. My body was very wet and I should not be far from the water. Someone kept calling me next to me.
But their voices sounded like they were still separated from me by a piece of water, and the rumbling sound occupied my hearing, making the sound far and near.
It seemed like there was a lot of water blocking my ears, making it impossible for me to hear any external sounds.
"Sanman, how are you? You can't swim..."
My coughing didn't stop, as if I was coughing out my lungs. My whole lungs were so painful that I could only hold my chest in pain and frown hard.
It took a long time before I finally recovered, opened my eyes, pinched my nose and blew it, shook my head and the wet hair on my head, turned my head and poured out the water stains in my ears.
"Sanman, are you feeling better?"
At this time, I could finally hear clearly what the people around me were talking about. It was Lang Hongyi and Miao Miao. They were also soaked through at this time. Fortunately, they seemed to be fine.
"Are you two okay? You didn't respond no matter how much I called you!" I stood up awkwardly and began to untie the ropes on my body.
"After we fell, we noticed that there seemed to be something in front of us. We went over to check. What's wrong with you? You don't have to be so embarrassed when you come down to find us?"
Lang Hongyi came over to help and untied all the safety ropes on my body, but was stunned when he saw the break at the other end.
"When I was almost at the bottom, the rope broke..." I wanted to say something else later, but I also saw the break in the rope, and Miaomiao shouted directly, "This is cut!"
Indeed, the safety rope itself is very friendly to people of small weight like me. After all, there are many users weighing less than 200 pounds. It is indeed suspicious to disconnect it like this, and the flat cut told me that it was indeed cut artificially.
, definitely not an accident.
"The one above... is Xiao Gao?" Only the four of us came out, and now the three of us are reunited below. The only one left is Gao Kun, and he hardly thinks about it.
Although I was angry, I still didn't want to believe that Gao Kun would want to kill me.
To be honest, in the situation just now, if there was the ground or rocks below, I would most likely be seriously injured if I didn't die. If Lang Hongyi and the others hadn't rescued me in time, I wouldn't have fallen to death, but I would have probably choked to death!
"I don't think it's Xiao Gao. I asked him to go back and find someone to rescue him. He must have been far away after such a long time."
Miaomiao was a little angry. She didn't expect that there were such insidious and vicious people among her colleagues, who would do such excessive things just because of trivial matters. She felt very angry.
Lang Hongyi is more to the point, "There is no real evidence for this matter. Maybe there are other people on the island, so for the time being, just pretend that this matter didn't happen and don't mention it now."
After saying that, he turned around and started walking in the direction of the land. The ground here was very damp, and the surrounding stones were covered with moss. Plus, the light below was dark, so it was impossible to see very far. Lang Hongyi said to me as he walked.
"Come here and take a look at this place we found. I didn't hear you shouting just now. We were just looking at the situation here!"
Miaomiao and I were also following behind. Our feet were a little slippery. We were not walking very fast, so we were very careful.
"right here."
Lang Hongyi stood in front of a huge cave entrance and motioned for me to look inside. The location of this cave entrance was very strange. It was about two meters above the ground, underneath a huge irregular stone. The stone above looked like a natural stone.
The bridge extends forward and connects to the other side, which looks a bit weird.
A rope hung from the inside, which should have been left when they went up to check it out just now. It also made it easier for me to move. I carefully grabbed the rope, used my feet to naturally exert force, and climbed diagonally upwards.
The distance of more than two meters was quickly reached. Behind me, the rope began to swing again. Miaomiao and the others must have climbed up.
Thanks to the emergency light in my hand, it should be waterproof. I was a little too nervous when I fell into the water, so I kept holding on without letting go, and I didn't lose my backpack or anything else.
Looking around through the light, I was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of me. It was like a fairyland here.
Everywhere you look, there is snow-white everywhere. Whether it is under your feet or above your head, and everywhere the light can shine around you, there are all large and small stone pillars and stalagmites, as well as all kinds of strange boulders. There is really a place here.
Stalactite cave.
The height of the top is about four or five meters, and from time to time you can hear the sound of water droplets falling. Miaomiao stood behind me and said, "Isn't it beautiful here? I was shocked when I just saw it."
"
But Lang Hongyi, who came next, didn't give me much time to appreciate the place. Instead, he took the lead and walked into the cave. We could only follow, going around and around several twists and turns in the cave.
I finally saw what Lang Hongyi and his colleagues were studying. If it was a miraculous work of nature before, then the tomb door in front of me now is as solemn and majestic as the Nantian Gate, cast by the hands of gods.
I'm used to reading ancient books and I'm relatively familiar with ancient characters. However, in addition to the exquisite carvings on this door, the large fonts can still only be understood half by guessing. They are really old enough.
"The Queen of Heaven's Immortal Palace, the living will turn back."
I read these words softly, and saw Miaomiao looking at me with admiration, holding her arms with starry eyes, "Sanman, I didn't expect you knew such ancient words. What does this mean?"
Don’t you want us to come in?”
I smiled with relief, "This is a warning. Most of the tomb doors will have such words, or even more vicious curses, to make the tomb robbers feel timid and leave quickly even if they find the tomb door."
"Is that so? Those who dare to rob tombs are afraid of threats?"
"So, this is just the last helpless warning method used by the ancients to deceive people, but the mechanism inside should indeed be a bit of a deterrent."
