We kept running and ran back desperately. Behind us, there was another heart-shaking "crack" sound. When we turned around, we saw that the boulder was on the stone steps above our heads. Interestingly, it had already rolled.
After landing on the second step, he leaned forward and rolled down towards us without any suspense!
I shouted to the people behind me: "Don't be humble at this time! Don't wait for us, run!"
Because I was holding Wanqing, the sergeants seemed to have received the order and quickly ran in front of us. I picked her up by the waist, put a load on my shoulders, took three steps and two steps at a time, jumped down the stone steps, and turned around when I turned around.
Jumping back to the space behind the waterfall, there was a bang behind me, the ground shook, and gravel flew everywhere, splashing into the pool below the waterfall.
Looking at the first circular stone gate, it was already stuck tightly by the rolling stones, and we were driven back to the starting point.
Jiang Wanqing looked at me with a sad face. She looked at her feet and saw that one of the two shoes was missing. I probably lost them during the run just now.
A sergeant went over and pushed the boulder with his hand. A long crack appeared on the boulder, but there was no hope of pushing it away.
If Jiang Wanqing hadn't been brought along, we would probably have all been killed on the stone steps, bloody and bloody. Now we only saved everyone at the cost of losing a pair of shoes.
"Brother, what should I do?" Jiang Wanqing looked at me. Her feet were standing on the rough stone slab, and her pair of white socks were already dirty.
"It's nothing. With your contribution just now, it's worth it even if my brother carries you the rest of the way."
"Then carry me now." Her feet kept falling on the ground. It was really too uncomfortable. I didn't say anything, I hugged her and sat on my lap, while I sat on the steps.
But Song Kui led his men to pull the two boats. Just after we left, the two boats had slowly floated a long way along with the water. They swam over, climbed on to the boats, and sailed them back. Did they want to
Going back by boat? That would be too shameless.
Song Kui ordered people to stack the two boats on top of each other. What kind of trick was he doing? Several people stood in the water to stabilize the boat. A sergeant, carrying a rope in the boat, climbed up and stood on the edge of the rock protrusion above his head.
, he grabbed the stone wall with both hands, jumped up with his feet, and left the hull of the ship. He rose up little by little. Later, the upper half of his body was submerged in the waterfall. He got out, and his whole body was immediately soaked.
We all waited below. After a long time, the rope, which had been soaked with water, was dropped from above. The sergeants walked over and pulled it, and it hung firmly.
One by one, they climbed up on the rope and passed through the water curtain. Finally, Song Kui also climbed up, and only Jiang Wanqing and I were left below.
I said to her, "How about it? Can you crawl by yourself?" She twisted her body and smiled at me and said, "I can't!"
The rope hung all the way down to the water, and there was no problem with the length. I carried Jiang Wanqing on my back, and she hugged my neck tightly with both arms. To be on the safe side, I held her around me with the rope.
Seeing that there was still a long section of rope left, I passed the rope ends through the iron rings on the sides of the two boats, tied the rope knots, and started to climb up.
Soon, the waterfall reached the top of my head. I said to her, "Hold your breath." We poked our heads out of the water together. Jiang Wanqing took a breath of cold air on my back because the cold water fell from her head.
It was wet all over our bodies from the feet to the ground. Her breasts were pressed tightly against my back, and she kept shivering. It was so cold.
The sergeants above stood in the water and came over to help. They pulled up the two boats below and stood on them to look down. The water surface when they came was no longer visible and was submerged in darkness.
Everyone was wet with semen and kept shivering. Everyone took off their clothes and wore only a pair of shorts. They wrung out the water on their clothes and put them on again.
Looking at Jiang Wanqing's blue lips, I asked everyone to avoid them, and they all turned their faces. She didn't dare to take off her clothes.
So, I grabbed a cantaloupe, grabbed the bow of the boat, and made it stand upright in the water. Jiang Wanqing hid behind the cabin and wrung out the wet clothes.
We can only go forward by boat along the course of the underground river. If there is no back door, the pirate who plotted against us might be trapped inside. The boulders blocked us and his exit. I asked.
Song Kui, but he also said that he didn’t know there was no secret door
Now, our first priority is to get out. We don’t know how deep the water hole is, so we can only walk wherever we go.
Because it was underground, the water surface was bitingly cold. People rowed and huddled together to keep warm. They rowed for about an hour. The bottom of the cave became wider and wider as they went, and the water seemed to become shallower and shallower. Until there was a creak and the bottom of the boat touched the underwater rocks.
, stranded
At this time, people were still laughing and joking, saying that there would be no need for the boat this time, because when everyone got off the boat, the water was only up to everyone's knees.
There were already large and small stones soaked in the water, covered with moss. Behind a larger stone, we all found that there were ripples in the water.
"It's not a fish?" Song Kui said, and several people waded into the water carefully. Someone pierced the water twice with a spear. There was no movement, but it was clear that something soft had been pierced.
I found a dry yellow grass stem stretched out on the water at the heel of the stone, so I walked over and pinched it with my hands.
There was a gurgling sound, and a string of bubbles emerged from the water. After a while, there was a roar, and a man stood up from the water with dripping water drops all over his body. Maybe he had been holding it in for too long, and he took a big gulp.
Panting, coughing, panting, leaning back on the boulder
Song Kui held the torch, looked closer, and said to us: "He is the pirate leader."
The sergeants didn't care how pitiful he was. Several people gathered around him, picked him up, and beat him hard. I didn't stop him until he was beaten enough. Song Kuicai said, his name was Nie Lining. When the sergeants heard this, they immediately grabbed Nie Lining.
Ning's ears, he grinned and yelled "Yeah"
I asked him, "Where is your hand?"
Song Kui translated his words, and we got the general idea of what happened. This pirate was the only one left. Just now, he put down the boulder and rushed down the passage. He thought we were all dead. He came through the back door.
Sneaking out, I could only swim in the water. Unexpectedly, we actually chased me from behind, so I hid in the water.
In order to avoid being tortured, he also said that he knew the terrain here best. As long as he followed him, he could walk to the ground.
This is good news. We tied his hands with a rope from behind and were held by someone from behind. We waded into the water and set off.
Wanqing doesn't have any shoes, so I have to carry her on my back. No matter how tiring this kind of thing is, I can't complain, and I can't ask others for help.
As I walked, I said to her, "Will you follow me next time?" "Of course," she said proudly on her back.
Soon, the terrain got higher and higher, and the water became shallower and shallower. In the end, it turned into countless shallow streams. The light converged from the front and appeared. We threw away the torches that were about to burn out.
A burst of bird chirping penetrated our ears, and our whole body felt warm and our stomachs began to growl.
