General Ji and others were waiting below. When they saw me, they asked, "Why is it taking so long?"
Cui Yingying held my sword in her arms and handed it to me as soon as they met. I said to them, "Hurry up, the top is going to collapse again!"
General Meng was carrying a rope on his shoulder. This time, I stood where he was last time and caught him in the middle. He stepped on my shoulder and flew up. After a while, a rope hung down and he lay down.
At the entrance of the cave, he shouted at us, "Quick, quick"
There was no time to think too much, General Ji pulled the rope and climbed up slowly. As I stood there, I heard the rumble of thunder outside the cave, and a cool breeze hit my face with tiny sand and gravel.
A mudslide rushed in from the entrance of the cave. I went to save Cui Yingying and it was too late to come back, but I couldn't leave her alone.
I had no choice but to jump back into the cave. Yingying didn't understand what I was doing and said to me, "Brother, why don't you go out?"
"It's too late,"
The rushing mud flow rushed down. I hugged Yingying and jumped away. The collapse of the cave roof was almost full of water, and a flash of lightning instantly illuminated the cave. Cui Yingying's face was pale and tight.
Holding my hand tightly, in the darkness after the lightning, the air in the cave was suddenly compressed by something, and the orioles screamed like dragons, because the dark roof of the cave above suddenly opened its mouth, and lightning
The bright light took the opportunity to get in and flashed a few times, and the entire cave fell into boundless darkness.
I could only hug Yingying tightly and roll away. The ground under my feet was shaking like crazy! The huge stone slabs on the roof of the cave collided with each other, and the gravel flew past us and splashed into the underground river. The water
The sound was exciting, and the dust rushing towards our faces almost made us suffocate.
The two of us had rolled to the edge of the underground river, and the exit was buried by the collapse of the cave roof again!
This time, we successfully ran out two people, General Ji and General Meng, while Yingying and I were trapped in the cave.
After a long while, Yingying asked, "Is it over?" "I think it should be over. If it collapses again, we have to hide in the suite."
It turned out that the fire we lit had burned out. The collapse of the cave roof caused a short compression of the air in the cave. The fire suddenly flickered listlessly like a reflection of light. I quickly ran over and took out the bamboo table.
Yingying stepped on her feet and threw herself into the fire, and the fire burned vigorously. Yingying took out two pieces of silk, one yellow and one white, and wanted to throw them into the fire. I stretched out my hand to stop her, "What do you want to do?"
?”
"Let's light a fire. This little bamboo won't burn for long." She looked at me and said
I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard this. It stores a lot of useful information. How could it be burned?
I stopped her, came to the cave wall, moved the wooden frame with the gold bricks over, chopped it into firewood with my sword, and threw it into the fire. It can be burned for a while.
The space inside the cave was squeezed in half, and it could be seen that it was raining heavily outside, because a large amount of rainwater had seeped into the gaps between the rocks that had just collapsed, and the creeks gradually merged into mudflows.
"Yingying, we can't be here anymore. I don't know how long it will rain outside. Look, the water has already come in!"
However, the shallow underground river is still the same and has not swollen. This shows that its water source does not come from nearby. However, the dirty rainwater seeping in from the landslide is constantly flowing into the river.
"How do we go?" Yingying looked anxious, stamped her feet, stared at me and asked if I knew how anxious General Ji, General Meng, and Liujia were outside now. We are now completely isolated from the outside world. They
I couldn't count on it. I looked around and my eyes fell on one place.
That was the outlet of the underground river that I had just blocked with wooden fences and gold nuggets. At that time, it was to prevent the enemy from sneaking in and attacking us, but now it has become our only way out.
I signaled Yingying to stand still and jumped into the water three feet deep. I fished out the gold bricks from the water and threw them back to the shore one by one. This task took me almost half an hour.
, there were a lot of gold bricks thrown away at that time. I wish I had listened to General Meng and saved my money.
After taking the wooden fence out of the water, the next thing is how to take Yingying to get through this "water gate"
In order to know what I was doing, I asked Yingying to wait for me where I was, then I ducked into the water.
The water is not deep and does not exceed three feet in total, because the top of the waterway is only this high. From the moment I entered the water, I walked forward, silently counting the numbers in my heart, so that I knew what I was doing next.
Yingying is ready when she crosses the water.
While swimming in the water, I raised one hand and let my hand touch the top. The water channel was relatively straight with almost no bends. Although it was very dark inside, there was no trouble.
When I returned from the water, Yingying was almost crying. She was afraid that I would never come back and leave herself here. Seeing me was like seeing a relative with just a pack of cigarettes. The water level of the underground river
It has risen a little, and the water quality is not as clear as before. We must hurry up!
The bamboo table that I had flattened was still burning in the fire. I ran over and grabbed two half-foot-long bamboo pipes from the fire. I blew on them to make them breathable. I gave one to Yingying and I started using it myself.
"Hold it, don't throw it away! The water is very dark. After a while, when I pinch you in the water, you put the bamboo tube in your mouth, stretch it up and take a few breaths!"
She was scared, "Brother, how far is it in the water?"
"It's not far, it's not close either. If we don't breathe in the middle, we won't be able to reach the other side." I pulled her and jumped into the water. I heard her gasp immediately. The water was too cold! "Remember!
, when I ask you to breathe out later, be sure to blow out the water in the bamboo tube first, otherwise you will choke!"
She looked at me and nodded solemnly. I raised a fist towards her and stretched out my fingers one by one. When we stretched out three fingers, we took a deep breath and dived into the water at the same time.
Immediately there was only the sound of gurgling water in my ears. We half-crouched and sneaked under the water. I held her waist tightly with my right arm, but she still held on to my clothes with one hand, and I felt like I was in the water.
Start counting at that moment
When we counted to fifteen, I pressed her head in the water, and we half-crawled through the low part of the cave roof, and then moved forward, eighteen...nineteen...twenty...twenty-one.
, I counted, feeling that her body was getting weaker and weaker, and she almost relied on my support to move forward. I knew that Yingying’s breath was almost exhausted.
I'm almost dying...Twenty-five, I quickly squeezed her hard. I didn't know where to pinch her. I just felt that my palm was full and it felt soft.
She immediately put the bamboo tube into her mouth, and we squatted in the water, raised our heads, and blew out the remaining air in our lungs.
When I stepped on the plate for the first time, I noticed that this place was like a bubble born in the rock at the top of the cave. There was no water in it. However, if two people put their heads out to inhale at the same time, there would be no room for two heads, so,
I thought of bamboo pipes
We were both squatting half-crouched in the water, sucking greedily and it felt almost done. When I pulled her, she didn't move and wanted to suck for a while longer.
I reached out and pinched her body again. Damn, it was the same spot as last time! Yingying reluctantly took back the bamboo tube, and we continued to crawl forward in the water.
