The shrill screams echoed and overlapped repeatedly in the cave, as if a group of children were crying for their father and mother loudly together, which was shocking and even bitter.
This is not "seemingly", but "really" "a group of children" - all the children present were trapped by this huge landslide that suddenly appeared, and all of them fell down at once!
The children, wrapped in the fine sand and wet soil, fell rapidly in the underground cavity of unknown depth. The huge cold air came from the underground river flowing rapidly deep below, and the "mud children" who fell one after another were caught. At the same time, the huge splash of water was quickly covered up by the rapids. The children who were swallowed up could no longer hold each other's hands. They were like kittens and puppies randomly thrown into the river one by one, facing each other. In this series of situations, there is no way to fight back. They can only drift with the current and be carried deeper "downstream" by the power of the underground river.
I don’t know how many years of erosion have passed. The rocks around the underground river have long been shaped by the water into the shape of a culvert that is most suitable for water to pass through. The rock walls have been polished extremely smooth by the flowing water. During the flushing process, I grabbed hold of something, but failed because of this, and had no choice but to let it continue to flow and roll forward.
I choked on water several times along the way, but the taste of this water was so sweet! It is the kind of water that has been filtered through layers and has a high standard of quality.
He didn't know how long he had been floating. Xin Wu estimated that he had been struggling and floating wildly in the water for nearly an hour. Finally, the water flow slowed down. Although he couldn't see anything, he could clearly feel that the surrounding area was very empty. This underground river At this point, it turned into a quiet lake.
The most incredible thing is that the water temperature of this lake is very comfortable, about 30 to 40 degrees, comfortable, just like a warm water bath.
Without the help of water, Xin Wu could finally stand up in the water. Where he stood, the water just covered the top of his thighs, and the slightly rippling water waves were caressing his waist and legs in layers. Ministry——He knew that he was on the shore.
The gentle waves of the water rose up and covered his waistline. He almost suspected that it was a pair of gentle hands stroking him. The temperature and strength were very much like a mother caressing him and coaxing him. The feeling of sleeping.
"Mommy mommy---)"
Without any warning, this soft "Mom" was actually shouted out from Xin Wu's mouth, with a huge echo. He didn't believe himself, and he didn't know how many years he hadn't felt this way. I have never cried out like this again. I always feel that it is so embarrassing that I am so old and still call my mother when something happens.
I guess no one else heard it? ——By the way, where are the others?
Xinwu was "precipitated" into this "warm pool" - because of the gentle feeling just now, Xinwu gave this "lake" a name in his heart - it has been more than ten minutes, except for the accident just now Apart from the "Mom" that slipped out of his mouth, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, wanting to make sure if any of his other friends had been rushed here together.
He heard nothing except the sound of "sighs" made by the gentle lake water colliding with the rocks on the shore.
Could it be? Are they all dead?
This ominous premonition felt like someone was tugging at the tip of his heart, driving away the fantasy and attachment to his mother's caress just now, leaving only anxiety, worry, panic and melancholy.
Just when he was full of suspicion and nervously groping on the rock, ready to climb up, he encountered a ball of hair in his hand. His scalp was numb, and his body quickly retracted into the water, but his hand was covered by the ball of hair. It got entangled, and due to the friction of the water, I couldn't pull it out for a while.
"Ah!——It hurts! (It hurts, it hurts, it hurts——)"
This "pain" made Xin Wu overjoyed. He recognized that it was Huodun's voice!
Everyone originally made fun of Huo Dun's thick red hair, but at this moment, it became his "clover"! He was caught by Xinwu on the shore of Heigumadong's "Mother Lake".
"Whoa, whoa, whoa"
With the sound of water, he knelt and crawled ashore in these few steps. Xinwu's "dog walk" was very powerful. Following the guidance of the hand that was entangled in Huodun's hair, he groped to Huodun's side and touched his head with both hands. , the right hand went down again, and was tightly grasped by another pair of hands.
"Huodun, don't be afraid! It's me, it's me, I'm Xin Wu."
"Brother Xinwu! Am I still alive?"
Hearing Huodun ask this, Xin Wu couldn't help but laugh. He raised his right hand that was tightly grasped by Huodun and said, "Well, look, we can move and we are all alive! We are all alive!" "
"Great!——Ouch!"
Huodun, who was about to get up, once again felt the "suppression" from above his head.
"Don't worry, my hand is entangled in your hair. I want to pull it out. Don't move in a hurry. I'll be careful not to hurt you."
After being soaked in water for too long, Xinwu's palms, especially his fingers, were all wrinkled and uneven. The friction with Huodun's wet hair was even greater. He wanted to pull his hand out of the messy wet hair as soon as possible. Coming out without hurting the fire mound is really something that needs to be done carefully and cannot be rushed.
"Where are the others? Are they all okay?"
Although it was inconvenient for Huo Dun to raise his head right away, his mouth was not idle and he asked about his worries immediately.
"I don't know! I just floated here, and I was washed by the water all the way. I didn't have a chance to see if there was anyone else!"
Finally, the two of them were completely separated. Xin Wu tucked Huo Dun's hair back together. Even if he couldn't see the other person, he should still have this hairstyle.
"Brother Xinwu, do you miss your mother too?"
Even though it was in the dark, Xinwu's face still felt a little feverish. His unconscious cry for mother just now had an audience after all.
"Alas! It's useless to think about it. We can only rely on ourselves in this place."
Xinwu quickly adjusted his emotions, showed his rational side, and began to prepare to solve the problem.
"Listen! When we talk, there is an echo here. It must be very big here!" Huo Dun quickly added his clever judgment.
"Well, the river is not only very big, but also has a large amount of water. When it reaches here, it turns into a lake. It is not deep and is very warm. There must be a heat source nearby."
Xin Wu started with the environmental analysis. He always felt that there was such a huge underground space under the vast desert, an underground river with such a large flow, and an underground lake of such a large volume. If it was a connector The reason is that the reason is that the water is filled with water, but it is not. It proves that there is a channel flowing deeper, so that the water here is just a temporary transition due to the sudden increase in the terrain area.
