Chapter 17 Sixteen, water ghost

Looking back now, I have experienced many things in my life, and I have encountered many life-threatening and near-death situations. However, I am afraid that there are only a few times that really scare me. I'm afraid this is also because I was still young at the time, and I hadn't experienced the relationship between life and death. To be honest, I didn't see that ferocious face clearly at all. That "scarce" was just a general impression, but the moment I turned my head, in the dark water, under the dim and diffuse yellow spot of the flashlight, The sudden appearance of such a face at such a close distance from me, no matter what it is, the shock is already extremely terrifying.And I didn't have a chance to see clearly again. After that fright, I shrank back sharply, and then sucked in a mouthful of cold water. The hand was grabbed and pulled up.

I drank a lot of water, coughed so hard that I couldn't speak, and I couldn't see clearly. I was dragged and dragged all the way, and then jumped into the water again, and I barely recovered until I got ashore. It was really embarrassing at that time, no one had a dry place on their bodies, so we immediately found a dry place to light a fire to dry our clothes, took off all our clothes, and huddled together naked. Wang Sichuan brought white wine and gave each of us a little to drink, and we gradually warmed up. At that time, Wang Sichuan asked me why I suddenly choked on the water and what happened below.

When I told them what I saw, several of them showed expressions of disbelief.Did Pei Qing ask if it was a sunken corpse in the water?It was kicked up by him, or it was simply my psychological effect, and I misread it. I can't answer, I just have a vague impression, in fact, now that I think about it, Pei Qing's statement is the most reasonable, but at that time I felt that under such dark water, that thing suddenly appeared in the It really doesn't feel right around me. The extreme fear at that moment is deeply in my memory. Until now, we still discuss it when we meet. This also led to my inexplicable fear when I saw the dark ditch in my life. I always felt that there was something there. .

Of course, this is a later story. After I said it, although they all said they didn't believe it, they obviously had fear and concerns about that piece of water.This is unavoidable.And when I thought about the fact that we had to pass through here when we came back, I felt my scalp tingle, so I had no choice but to stop thinking about it for the time being. After the clothes were dried, we put them on again. For the first time, the warm clothes made me miss the sunshine outside. Pei Qing said that we should not waste any more time, so we packed up and urged us to move forward again. At this time, one-third of the time we planned to explore the road had passed. We made a reservation that if we encountered such a pool in front of us again, we would turn back and stop moving forward, otherwise it would be a waste of time.

However, after walking forward for a while, the cave suddenly opened up, the width of the underground river corridor increased significantly, and there were more traces left by the Japanese everywhere.There were many stripped Japanese signs on the cave wall along the way. In the crevices of the rocks, many broken green wooden boxes were broken there, and the inside was full of black cotton-like things. The deputy squad leader picked it up with a gun and found it was very damp. After walking for a while, the road was smooth and the road was not difficult. It was about two hours later that we encountered the second unexpected situation.And this situation is something we never thought of, it just makes us dumbfounded.

It turned out that after reaching a relatively long and narrow part of the cave, we climbed over a very large rock. Looking back at this time, the huge cave is no longer a deep darkness, but a huge rock wall. It took us a long time to realize that this cave actually ends here. The light of several flashlights swayed on the huge rock wall. This is a huge plate-shaped limestone. The rock walls on both sides were suddenly brought together by stratum accumulation, which shows that the geological tectonic movement that formed this deep cave hundreds of millions of years ago Stop here, the cave is naturally closed, and it is indeed the end.

Looking back on the way we came here, it is nearly four or five kilometers to here. Compared with the length of underground underground rivers, it is still small-scale, and underground rivers with a length of ten to twenty kilometers are also common.Judging from the amount of water at the beginning of the dark river, we really did not expect to reach the end of the cave so soon. Several engineers and soldiers did not speak, and we all felt it was impossible to listen to the discussions among the few of us engaged in exploration.According to the textbook and our experience, the underground river should be longer, otherwise there should be an underground lake to buffer the water at the end.

The most important evidence is that under the stone tidal flats we walk on, the water flow in the crevices is turbulent and bottomless, indicating that the water flow under these stones will not be less than that of the underground river when we first came in. The water flow here is still in the stone Downstream flows downstream, indicating that the underground river still has a downward path. But above the rock, the cave really ended here, and after searching for a long time, I couldn't find any hidden entrance. We all couldn't figure it out, so we had to stop and rest temporarily, and at the same time, analyze the possible situation.

Among the few of us, Pei Qing has the most experience in cave exploration, because he has been to Yunnan, where there are many caves and water.He said that this usually happens. This place must have been a fault waterfall before. Because of the impact of the water, the rock structure was washed away, and the stone fell down, completely blocking this place. The downward entrance must be under these stones under our feet. Both Wang Sichuan and I said it was impossible. If this is the case, how did the Japanese get there back then? Wang Sichuan said that it seems that we went in the wrong way, and the other groups were right. Just right, we can go back confidently.

I waved my hand, this is obviously not right, not to mention the traces of the Japanese here, just saying that the woman appeared here is enough to show that there is definitely a way to go on here. Wang Sichuan said so, let's keep quiet and listen, if there are large hidden gaps in the ground, the sound of water should be louder. We couldn't think of any other good way, so we scattered again, held our breath, leaned closer to the ground, and listened to the faint sound of water coming from the ground bit by bit. To be honest, what can you tell the difference? The so-called loudness of the sound, I feel, is directly proportional to the quietness of the environment. If you get closer or farther away, whether the sound of water around you is loud or small will affect your judgment.

I carefully heard that it was more than ten meters away, and I knew that this move would not work, and I didn't feel it at all. Just when I sighed and signaled to them to reject Wang Sichuan's proposal, a little soldier over there suddenly stood up and spoke to us. Made a motion not to speak. We were all excited, and our hearts said, did you hear it?Quickly tiptoed to his side, all bent down to listen. After hearing this, we all showed a look of surprise. It turned out that what came from under the stone was not the sound of water, but an indescribable sound, similar to the sound of fingernails scratching the stone. Everyone listened intently and calmly. After listening to it for a long time, they couldn’t figure out what the sound was. They just felt that the sound of "stabbing and pulling" was heart-wrenching, like claws scratching our heart. Down. I can't remember who first started digging the stones, but soon all of us started to move the stones here, the big ones first, and then the small ones. After moving a few times, I felt a little strange, because the stones here are too easy to move, and the nearby gravels are different in size, and a large number of huge stones that cannot be moved are mixed in, so that others can see it at a glance. Digging was hopeless, but here, as we dug along, we found no such decisive stone. All the stones are of a size and weight that can be moved by humans. What does this mean? I couldn't help speeding up, and others were infected by me, and their movements became faster and faster. With a bang, my hand touched something. Everyone paused, stopped their hands, and looked in the direction of my hand.I saw a rusty iron plate exposed under the stone I lifted. Several people looked at each other with inexplicable expressions. They gathered around me and started digging around the exposed iron plate. Soon, an iron door buried under the stone appeared in front of us. The huge door panel was five meters by five meters in size. On the mottled and peeling green paint on it, several white Japanese characters can be vaguely seen. Understand a 53 and a strategy, but don't understand everything else. After most of the door was exposed, we all returned to silence and listened to the voice under the door again.This time, he found that the scratching sound could not be heard, and there was no sound under the door.
