Chapter 22 Chapter 22 The Color-Changing Water

Huang Qianshan squatted down and pointed his headlamp at the underground river. He waited until the reflection of the water was not strong enough to see that the color of the river really changed—a disgusting green.The water quality was clear at first, but after the color changed, it became almost a thick slurry, and the fish and aquatic plants in the water could not be seen at all.Lao Yue sighed and stood up. She wanted to fetch a few pots of water, but she didn't expect the sky to fail, so she had to give up.The discolored water is definitely not drinkable anymore, but no one can figure out why the water changes color. In short, it cannot be as simple as someone pouring paint into it.

There was some water in the pot. Hao Dali thought that there was so much water in the underground river, even if he pulled a water truck, it would not be enough to fill it, so he poured out the water in the pot before it was filled.Unexpectedly, as soon as Hao Dali finished pouring the water, the underground river would change color. He was feeling thirsty, so now he could only look at the discolored water and swear a few foul words in annoyance.After cursing a few words, his mouth became even more dry, Hao Dali calmed down helplessly, but he wanted to taste the color-changing water.Seeing this, Lao Yue stopped her. Now that the river water has changed color, you can't drink it indiscriminately. If you feel thirsty, you can bear it first.

"I won't drink the water here even if I die of thirst!" Cai Minmin said disgustedly. "Dali, forget it, as long as you get out of the cave, there will still be water in the mountains." Lao Yue said lightly. Huang Qianshan was not worried either. Death from thirst would only happen in the desert. Although there were not many big rivers in the mountains, they were small streams, so it was not difficult to get water.However, Huang Qianshan vaguely felt that the change in color of the water was a hidden danger approaching them, otherwise why would it change color? It cannot be said that the water changes like the sky.Huang Qianshan looked worriedly at the corner of the cave, but found that Gu Changtian had no interest in color-changing water. While others were talking, he kept squatting beside the pile of monkey bones, as if picking something from the pile of bones.

"Brother Gu, what did you pick up, don't pick up monkey bones. These have spoiled, and I will send a catty of authentic monkey bones from home later!" Huang Qianshan said with a smile. Gu Changtian sneakily stuffed something into his bosom, then turned around and said, "It's not a bone, it's..." "Hush, don't talk for a long time, listen!" Lao Yue made a quiet gesture, staring at the front. The underground river in the cave rippled, and the roots of the plants on the roof of the cave were also blown by the wind blowing in front. Suddenly, there was a thunderous movement in front of the cave, but it disappeared quickly.The wind blew over, and Huang Qianshan felt that he had an illusion of vision. At that moment, he felt that the stone balls hanging in the cave seemed to be blown up by the wind, and they all broke away from the steep stone wall.

After the wind died down, no one dared to speak out, and they breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that nothing else happened.Huang Qianshan felt that the discoloration of the river was an ominous omen, so he first measured the depth of the underground river with a wooden stick in his hand just in case.The wooden stick was only about two meters long, but the wooden stick did not touch the bottom after being submerged in the water. The underground caves are extremely shady and cool. When people walk in, they will have an illusion of temperature, and even feel that the underground water is like ice water.Huang Qianshan knew very well that this kind of environment was the favorite of snakes, he was worried that there might be a small snake with green scales hidden in the water, even though the wooden stick didn't touch the bottom of the water, he still tried his best to stir it up.

"Mr. Huang, what are you doing?" Liang Xiaoyu who was standing beside him asked in a low voice. "Check to see if there are any snakes in the water. If anyone accidentally falls into the water later, they should be mentally prepared." Huang Qianshan said with a smile. "If there are snakes in the water, it's useless to be mentally prepared. Could it be that the snakes won't bite you if you're mentally prepared?" Hao Dali said to Huang Qianshan. "Mr. Huang didn't mean that. He said that if you knew in advance that there were snakes in the water, you would be more careful and wouldn't fall into the water so easily." Cai Minmin helped explain.

Maybe Cai Minmin didn't give Huang Qianshan a good face all the time. After she helped out just now, everyone stared at her strangely, and her face turned red for the first time.Huang Qianshan was looking at Cai Minmin wonderingly, when the wooden stick in his hand suddenly loosened, and a force pulled the wooden stick down from the water.When Huang Qianshan woke up, the wooden stick was pulled into the green water, but the wooden stick surfaced immediately again, but it was broken into several pieces.Huang Qianshan stared blankly at the wooden stick floating far away, wondering if there was a female ghost at the bottom of the water, just now he stabbed someone's ass, so the female ghost broke the stick in a rage?

"What did you poke just now, how did you break the stick?" Hao Dali asked in surprise. "I don't think so, did something drag the stick into the water just now?" Lao Yue asked Huang Qianshan. Huang Qianshan nodded, he said: "Just now there was something under the water, I was very strong, and I snatched it away with a stick if I didn't pay attention." Liang Xiaoyu was a little scared, she asked uneasily: "There is something in the bottom of the water that is stronger than people. The river here is so small, what can it hide?" Huang Qianshan disagreed. He said: "Although it is the 21st century, most of Wangwushan is still an untouched primitive forest. Weird things often happen in this kind of place, so don't take it lightly."

"By the way, Chang Tian, ​​what did you pick up from the bone pile just now, you know we can't mess with the things here, and we can't take them randomly." Lao Yue said seriously. "I saw you took something just now, let everyone have a look, if it is really good, we will keep it for ourselves." Huang Qianshan said jokingly. "I didn't take anything!" Gu Changtian hastily denied, but the word "admitted" was already written on his face. Everyone looked at Gu Changtian. Gu Changtian felt the pressure from the crowd for a moment, but he quickly suppressed his panic and calmed down.Huang Qianshan was the only one who saw Gu Changtian dig things out of the bone pile just now. The others all heard what Huang Qianshan said. Now Gu Changtian vehemently denies it. Lao Yue certainly believes in her boyfriend. Deep, naturally on Gu Changtian's side.Huang Qianshan didn't like it when others didn't believe him. Seeing that the dispute was one-sided, he simply stopped asking and hid it as he liked.

"I believe in you!" Cai Minmin suddenly said firmly to Huang Qianshan. Huang Qianshan looked at Cai Minmin in surprise, but thought in his heart that maybe he saved her from the anaconda and snake miasma last time, and then fell in love with him?Huang Qianshan couldn't help shivering, the scene where a beautiful woman loves a hero is too old-fashioned, not to mention that he is a fool, and he is not a hero.When Gu Changtian found that Cai Minmin was on Huang Qianshan's side, he panicked again, but the expression was only fleeting.Huang Qianshan saw that Gu Changtian was a seasoned liar, so he said that he was wrong, and he gave Gu Changtian a step down and stopped making things difficult for others.

However, Gu Changtian's eyes widened after hearing Huang Qianshan's words, as if he had seen a ghost.Huang Qianshan thought angrily, don't be shameless, you are addicted to acting even if you can't get down the stairs, be careful, I will expose your tricks right away.Huang Qianshan could not exhaust his righteousness, but he saw Gu Changtian raised his hand in surprise, pointing behind everyone, and said loudly: "Look, the river has changed color again, it has turned red!" Huang Qianshan turned his head immediately after hearing this, the light from the six lamp caps shot towards the water surface, and a wave of shining red light rippled wantonly in the dark cave.In an instant, the green river water turned into red river water, like a river of blood, which made people feel terrified, as if they had come to Abi Hell.The jagged and strange rocks in the cave seem to have life, as if they all want to reach into the red river.Especially the roots of the plants on the roof of the cave. Huang Qianshan always felt that the roots of the plants were constantly growing and would soon be poured into the water from the roof of the cave. "Let's go back to the ground, this river is quite scary." Liang Xiaoyu said in fear. "What are you afraid of? With me here, nothing will happen." Hao Dali assured, patting his chest. "Come on, how many times have you promised it." Cai Minmin poured cold water on it without hesitation. "It may be difficult to find villages and black stone piles from the ground. After all, there is a large mountain above. This cave is a shortcut. I think it is better to take this path, as long as you don't fall into the river." Gu Changtian said to everyone . "Well, I think so too. The main reason is that it's not advisable to wander around the mountains for too long. If Xiaoyu doesn't want to go to the cave, you can ask Dali to accompany you back to the ancient temple and wait for us. In fact, you are not in good health, so you don't have to follow everywhere." Lao Yue persuaded in good faith. "No, I have to follow you, I don't want to hold you back." Liang Xiaoyu said seriously. After Laoyue took care of Liang Xiaoyu, she saw Huang Qianshan staring at the red river water in ecstasy, so she asked, "Mr. Huang, what do you think? Should we follow or wait for us in the ancient temple?" Huang Qianshan shook his luggage up, and said disdainfully: "Of course I won't run away halfway, I just feel that something is wrong with this river. on the shortcut." Lao Yue didn't dare to be reckless, she said: "Mr. Huang is very right. We have to be careful everywhere. The river is not wide on both sides. It would be good if we can stand on both sides. It is a pity that the river is too wide and it is difficult to jump across. Now the water in the water The situation is unknown, so I dare not swim easily.” Gu Changtian said reassuringly: "I think there should be no major problems in the cave. The villagers have passed by many years ago, and they have all been unimpeded. I don't think we will be so unlucky to encounter strange things. Didn't the villagers say that the river is green? Yes, the color-changing water should be fine." Lao Yue also said: "Originally all the bones in the burial pit were to be buried, but now the monkey bones here are all exposed on the ground. It is estimated that the owner of the ancient tomb thought he would ascend to heaven, so he designed the burial pit to also expose the bones. The ground means that one person attains the Tao..." "The whole family ascended to heaven!" Huang Qianshan continued: "That's all lies. I don't think these monkey bones are just as simple as burial. After all, killing the monkeys and throwing them here is enough. They used complicated processes to make them. With so many monkey bones, there must be other intentions." Hao Dali pushed ahead fearlessly and led the team into the depths of the cave, then he turned around and said, "Don't discuss it, it will be dark if you continue to discuss it, although there is no difference between day and night in the cave." Others felt that what Hao Dali said was reasonable, and it was useless to stand in the same place timidly, it would be better to cover them with water and see what they did.So, Hao Dali fought in the front, and Huang Qianshan was behind the hall. A group of six people pushed aside the hanging plant roots and walked into the darkness.When the six people walked forward wearing lamp caps, darkness immediately occupied them behind them, as if they wanted to engulf everyone.However, no one noticed that a strange-shaped thing floated up from the discolored river water, and a pair of golden eyes were staring fiercely at everyone in front of it.
