Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Water Mouse

The further you go into the mountains, the denser the vegetation is, and the sky is covered by big trees, not even a breath of wind can pass through. After walking not far, the clothes are soaked with sweat. Seeing the situation, I was speechless, and waved my hand at Da Ya, indicating that Da Ya should go back.It’s impossible for someone to go to the front. Going to the bathroom doesn’t mean you have to walk so far across the mountains. An old man, not a big girl, can’t solve it by finding a place somewhere. If he can’t help it, he’s going in the wrong direction, so he walks two It's gone.

Turning around and walking back for less than six or seven meters, Da Ya suddenly pointed to a broken tree branch under his feet and asked me with some doubts: "Lai Liang, did you break this?" I didn't even look at it, and snorted at Da Ya: "My hands and feet are not as dishonest as yours, why should I poke that thing if it's okay?" After saying this, I also realized that something was wrong, so I quickly looked in the direction of Da Ya's finger.Da Ya looked at the traces of the broken branch, stretched his neck to look down the mountain, and grinned at me: "Lai Liang, I think it's probably an accident. You see, the branch was not bent on purpose, it's so thick. The tree branch, even the bark, has been torn off, it seems to have been pulled and broken, and the roots have been pulled loose, did this person fall to the bottom of the mountain?"

I hurried to the front, took a closer look, and then took a look at the terrain here. The mountain below is steep, with strange rocks. If I accidentally fall down, I don’t even need to think about it. .No matter what, it was a matter of life and death, so I quickly waved my hand at Da Ya, telling Da Ya not to worry about it, go back and report a letter first, if it doesn't work, let the little girl call the police, this matter is probably troublesome. Just as Da Ya and I turned around to go back, we suddenly heard someone shouting "Help" under our feet. At first I thought it was an illusion and didn't pay much attention to it, but after walking a few steps, I heard another sound.

The two of us stood in place and listened carefully with our ears up. Sure enough, the sound came from under our feet.The voice was a little muffled, and the words were not clear, and it felt a little strange to my ears.Could it be Zhang Guoming, this buddy fell to the bottom of the mountain and is still alive? Da Ya stretched his neck and shouted down: "Is there anyone down there?" But no one answered, they kept yelling "Help" repeatedly. Did that buddy lose his mind from the fall, or how could he just shout "Help"? Da Ya stared at me: "Lai Liang, why don't you go down and have a look?"

I looked down at my feet and nodded.The two of us pulled the trunk and held the stones, and climbed down bit by bit. Climbing this kind of wild mountain is more tiring than rock climbing. At least when climbing rocks, the grips on the top are strong and can be used with force. The stones here look very strong, and it is impossible to tell which piece will roll down with a light touch. .After going down for more than ten meters, I arrived at a relatively flat ground. This platform is like a flat ground cut out by a knife, which looks very strange in this steep mountain with strange rocks. Da Ya and I looked up, and the place we were standing on the top of the mountain was no longer visible.

The ancient trees on the mountain are towering, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The canopy of the trees is like a pair of heavenly umbrellas, covering the sky tightly. Only through the small gaps between the branches and leaves can one vaguely see a small piece of blue sky above.The sound just now was not far away, and Da Ya and I hurriedly searched for it, and finally we all focused on a pipe well. Lie on the well cover and listened, the sound really came from this well. The manhole cover was stained with rust, and it was hard to tell whether it was a manhole cover for dirty water or a manhole cover for cables. There were only some patterns on it, but no words.

Da Ya and I looked at the manhole cover and were a little puzzled. Even if Zhang Guoming fell, the manhole cover should be open. It couldn't be so tight, right? Da Ya looked at me and asked me in a low voice, could it be murder?Could it be that someone threw this buddy down the well for the sake of money? I also have a lot of doubts in my heart, but since there are people down the well, the first thing to do is to open it and have a look. After the manhole cover is removed, a vertical well is exposed.The well is made of red bricks. It has been dark and humid for many years. The walls of the well are covered with moss. nobody.

Obviously heard someone shouting "help" inside, how could there be no one? Just when we were both at a loss, there was another sound of "help" from the bottom of the well. Da Ya and I were taken aback, and we quickly shouted down the well, but the people in the well couldn't tell if their consciousness was blurred, and they didn't answer at all except for calling "help". Da Ya looked down and asked me to wait for him up there.He carefully climbed down the ladder on the side of the well, and when he got down to the bottom of the well, he looked at the passage on the left, raised his head and told me that there was a passage in the horizontal direction below, and the sound seemed to come from inside. from.

Just as I was about to tell Da Ya to be careful, I suddenly stretched out a big furry hand from the side passage, and I felt that Da Ya was dragged into the passage backwards in a blink of an eye. It disappeared in the blink of an eye. I never dreamed that there would be such strange things in this well, so I froze in place for a while.From the beginning to the end, that is, within three to five seconds, I saw a big hand. I didn't know what it was, but it was obviously not a human hand. I yelled a few times, but there was no response at all.I couldn't care about anything else right now, so I quickly climbed down the ladder to the bottom of the well.Holding the dagger and looking inside, except for the light of the flashlight, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.A stench and musty smell kept pouring out from inside, and it felt hot when inhaled.

The pipes were damp, and there was a layer of floating dust on the ground.Fortunately, with these floating ash, the whereabouts of Da Ya can be easily traced from the traces of the floating ash.I bent over and crawled forward, shaking the flashlight in my hand from side to side, hoping that if Da Ya could see it, he would make some movement, so that I could be on my guard.It's just that everything was in vain, there was no movement except the noise I made myself. Turned several turns in a row, and walked forward forty to fifty meters. A section of pipes protruded from the front, and dirty water flowed out continuously. It was dark, bubbling, and smelly. It was so far away that I was confused.

I pinched my nose with my hand and looked down. I didn't know how deep the black dirty water was.Seeing this, the next thing I can do is to enter this stinky ditch, either go down with the current or go upstream against the current.After hesitating for a while, I decided to pursue downstream. Fortunately, the bottom of the water is still firm and there is no silt.The water was waist-deep, and I stepped forward cautiously, trembling forward. Not far away, I suddenly felt something in the water swirling around my ankle, which made me break out in a cold sweat immediately, " Whoosh, he ran back with jumps and jumps. When I returned to the shore just now, I put my hands on the ground, rolled on the spot, rolled directly from the water to the shore, and quickly looked at my calf.I saw a hairy thing arching back and forth on my calf, which scared me so much that I yelled loudly, kicked and kicked the thing out. Only then did I realize that it turned out to be a big mouse with a length of one foot!I kicked it violently just now, and it was obviously seriously injured, lying on the ground and rolling non-stop. With the light of the flashlight, the dense brown fur on its body was shining brightly. After a long time of fuss, it turned out to be a "water mouse". This water mouse obviously underestimated me, so before it could react, it was kicked by me first, and was staring at me from a distance with a pair of small green eyes.In this kind of dark and dark underground pipeline, facing the pair of small green eyes that shone faintly, I felt the cold air go straight up the back of my spine. Just now I kicked and kicked in desperation. If I were to touch this thing now, I would be a little timid. The range of activities of water mice is very regional, and most of the time they are in groups. Now that one is found, it is uncertain how many such water mice are underwater.This kind of thing is naturally aggressive and fierce. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, if I was surrounded by these things just now, I wouldn't be able to take advantage of it. I would have to be gnawed to death by these water mice. I would be terrified even thinking about it. Now I'm really stuck, I can't retreat, I can't retreat, Da Ya's life and death are still uncertain, so I have no choice but to fight.If you are wading in the water, you will definitely not be able to move fast, and it will be very dangerous.As soon as I gritted my teeth, I plunged down. I didn't dare to open my eyes under the water. My feet planed wildly, and my hands kept flapping. There was a thump in the ditch. Although this swimming posture is not fast and elegant, but fortunately, the whole body is in high-frequency non-stop movement. It is estimated that even if the water mouse finds me and sees me fluttering like this, it will be frightened and silly, and it may not dare to swim. bite me. I didn't know how far I jumped in one breath, until I couldn't hold my breath anymore. Just as I was about to get out of the water, my head hit the stone wall hard, and I grinned in pain and almost cried out .Rubbing my head, I got out of the water, and I didn't know where I swam to. There was a fork not far ahead, and the dirty ditch under my feet flowed along another fork.
