Chapter 63 first quarter

Danny looked at me blankly, his expression suddenly became serious, and when I was feeling very strange, he gave me a thumbs up: "Now I fully understand the reason why you can solve so many mysteries. " "Oh!" I knew that his words of praise were not intended to be flattering, but sincere.Yes, as a puzzle solver, what you need is not only courage, but also a rich imagination, and more importantly, an analytical ability that can connect many doubts. In this regard, I think I am a bit talented .However, Danny's solemn expression still made me feel uncomfortable, so I patted him on the shoulder half-jokingly, and said with a smile: "So, your 10 million dollars was not wronged!"

"Shh!" Danny changed his tone and returned to his original expression, "Look at you, raising money at this juncture has made my favor for you plummet. You are so vulgar and vulgar!" I smiled: "Okay, let's do something noble!" "Okay, I'll go down first this time, lest you feel at a disadvantage." "What are you going to do?" I deliberately lay down on the ground and said leisurely, "Now my task is to sleep!" "Stop looking for the entrance?" Danny asked. "If you want to be eaten alive by these catfish, I won't stop you... Our task now is to wait."

Danny asked puzzledly, "Wait? When will you wait?" "Wait until the entrance jumps out by itself. However, you really have something to do. You will be in charge of the sentry when I sleep." Danny also lay down and said, "Who do you think you are? Why do you want me to keep watch when you sleep!" "It's not for me, but for these catfish. Whenever you see them coming out of the water, just call me! I have to get enough energy and start a life-and-death contest with them." Yes, when these catfish come out of the water, it means that the water surface has dropped to the lowest point. At that time, we have to find the entrance while the soil is still wet. This will inevitably cause us to compete with them. If we wait until the ground is dry Look again, I'm afraid it's too late.What's more, we don't have any tools, and it's almost impossible to dig through the entrance with just four palms.

Danny understood what I meant, but he obviously didn't want to be the sentinel, so he said in a pleading tone: "Yeah, let's discuss it. I'll watch in the first half of the night, and you watch in the second half of the night. According to my estimation, this puddle is not there at all. If you can't last all night, I'll let you take advantage of it." "Anyway, I can't find Rock or not. I didn't have much hope for the 10 million dollars. You can figure it out!" Standing up, he yawned deliberately, as if he had nothing to do with himself. Danny sat next to me in a daze for a long time, and finally turned over and lay down.But almost every ten minutes, he would sit up and glance at the quagmire below.

In fact, I didn't fall asleep quickly, because I still had to think about everything I encountered from beginning to end, to see if there were any details that I had overlooked.And Ningxue's safety is also a concern of mine. If she really encounters misfortune, I will feel guilty for a long time in the future. After all, she is my savior, and now it is because I did not protect her well that she died So, this is me sorry for her.Another point to consider is our future destiny. If we can really swim to the Tuotuoye River that has sunk into the ground, what kind of environment will it be there?Is there enough oxygen?What will you see there?How do we get out?These vital matters, I had to think about.

I could hear the sound of Danny lying down and sitting up, sitting up and down, as well as slight complaints like sleepwalking. I don’t know if they are cursing God for being unfair to him, or complaining about lying beside him and sleeping like a dead pig The same down-to-earth me. I have no intention of taking over from him. After a while, he will slowly fall asleep because he cannot resist the attack of the sleepy demon.I didn't expect him to last until dawn. I thought that when the water surface receded to a certain position, the sound of "crackling" catfish rolling would wake me up. Just to amuse him a little bit!

I didn't hear the expected "cracking" sound, but I woke up suddenly. I didn't know the reason for waking up until I half propped up my body in a daze for a while. It was the wind that woke me up, in other words, it was the raised sand that stings my skin, and I woke up suddenly. Danny twisted his body and shrunk into a ball, snoring loudly, looking unshakable. The quagmire below has turned into a thick paste, and even the reflected starlight has dimmed a lot.However, there are no messy ripples on the water surface, and it seems that the best time to enter the water has not yet been reached.The hazy moon was already approaching the horizon. It should be three or four o'clock in the morning. I lay down and planned to be confused for a while. If the desert wind didn't bury us underneath, I would wait until the sound of catfish rolling I wake up and get up again.

But when I lay down for a minute, I sat up again and slapped Danny vigorously to wake me up: "Get up, Danny, something serious has happened!" Danny opened his eyes in a daze, and complained slightly annoyed: "What could happen? You will lie to me, haven't you heard the sound of the catfish flapping!" He is not stupid, and finally I understand why I can rest assured to sleep peacefully. "It's windy!" I said loudly. "Where is this?" Danny yelled, "This is a desert. Of course there must be wind in the desert. If there is no wind, it is not called a desert. Can you not be surprised, I just closed my eyes... …Besides, there is not even a leaf here, not to mention this small wind, even if the whole desert is swept up and buried us, there is nothing you can do. If God wants me to go to heaven to accompany him, I can only obey, do not bother me!"

I punched him hard on the back and yelled loudly on purpose: "The quagmire has been buried with sand!" "What?" Danny sat up with a jerk, and glanced at the quagmire in panic, knowing that I was lying to him.Turning around, he snarled angrily: "I'll sleep for a while, do you feel uncomfortable, how can you be so troublesome, Yi, I clearly warn you, I have a lot of opinions on you!" I saw that he had come to his senses, so he lowered his voice: "It's okay to have opinions, but if we don't act immediately, the quagmire will really be buried!"

When we said these few words, the weak wind just now had already strengthened a lot, and the dust flying all over the sky prevented us from fully opening our eyes, and we had to cover them with our palms and half-squint to look out. When Danny and I quickly ran to the edge of the quagmire, the flying sand and dust had completely covered the light of the stars and the moon reflected in the quagmire. The mud melted into one, and another layer was immediately added.I was right, maybe before dawn, this quagmire has been filled, forming a flat land that is no different from the surrounding sand dunes.

"Wait, I'll go down!" Danny yelled, and before I could react, he had already stepped forward, tilted his body, and fell into the mud.He let out a scream, and when he stood up again, his head and face were covered in mud. Danny wiped his cheeks: "It's just right now, and it's up to my chest." Judging from the height of Danny and I, he is about 1.9 meters tall, while I am only 1.75 meters. The quagmire reaches his chest and should have reached my neck. As long as the mouth and nose are still exposed, they will not be caught. Suffocate.So I jumped up without hesitation and plunged into the quagmire.Although this splashed a circle of mud, fortunately, the face would not sink into the mud because of the loss of balance of the body. "What should we do next?" The mud stained on Danny's face was mixed with the falling dry dust, and a strange color appeared on Danny's stiff face. "In order to save time, we held hands and explored in the same direction together. The entrance must be very soft mud. In this way, even if a person steps on the ground, he will not be caught off guard." I said with confidence. "Okay!" Danny stretched out his huge palm to grab my hand, and said, "It seems that the wind is getting stronger and stronger. If we can't find the entrance after a while, we will all be buried in the ground! Is the desert mummy? Is that how it came about?" Repeated dangerous experiences tell me that Danny is a crow's mouth, as long as the worst result is said from his mouth, it will often come true. I don't know if he was right again this time.
