It was obvious that the distance to the ground was getting closer and closer, and the light coming from above was getting brighter and brighter, which made the children very excited.
"It looks like it will be possible to rise back to the ground in another ten meters or so!"
Magawa is still so optimistic.
However, this ray of light suddenly disappeared, and turned dark again, and there was a dull and loud "rumbling" sound.
Another flash of light, this is lightning!
The unexpected light at this moment clearly illuminated the children who were working hard to climb up inside the hole, as well as the surrounding environment. However, because the light was too sudden, all the children could not help but reflexively close their eyes. With his eyes closed, no one could see clearly what the surrounding environment was like.
Thunder, lightning, what’s next? rainstorm!
Yes, the most alarming event has come: heavy rain. In a short period of time, countless rainwater poured down from the top. In a short period of time, some cave walls became extremely slippery. Children The hands that were struggling to climb, and the "contact surface" corroded by caustic soda, were all soaked in water, and friction was lost. The children screamed, no matter how hard they tried to grasp, they were unable to grasp it. The sudden heavy rain and flood rushed back to the bottom!
Due to the large amount of water in a short period of time, the flood discharge capacity of a hole dug underneath could not keep up with Lai Bu's speed. A cone-shaped swimming pool was formed in the tree root hole, and the water level continued to rise. The children were in this water. Being carried by the water, it rises little by little.
"Hold on two by two! Relax, don't be nervous, we will be taken out by the water in a moment!"
Xin Wu knew that if the heavy rain continued at this pace, it wouldn't be long before they could be carried by the water and emerge from the sky!
This lift made of water lived up to expectations. It didn't take long to successfully bring all nine children back to the ground - to the entrance of a tree hole in the sky, more than ten meters above the ground.
The tree hole was wide enough to accommodate all nine children floating at the entrance, desperately holding on to the edge of the hole to prevent the overflowing water from falling out of the tree hole. What was waiting for them was a hanging height of more than ten meters below.
"I can't hold it anymore! Brother Xinwu, what should I do?"
This time, Huodun's afro turned into a fur hat again. He tried his best to withstand the force of the water pushing him outward. While pushing, he shouted to Xin Wu loudly.
Jin Zang's hands were tightly grasped, but his lower body was too light, and his two feet floated out of the water. He tried his best to use his waist strength to sink his lower body. It seemed that this action was so futile, and it looked like he would be trapped soon. The water rushed to the point where he stood on his head, and when he was about to turn over, he fell down!
Shi Baoshan quickly pulled one of his feet and clamped it between his own legs, then pressed Jinzo back to an upright position.
"Thank you, Brother Baoshan!"
Jin Zang looked at Brother Baoshan gratefully, but he did not dare to let go of his hands at all and could not relax.
"Everybody put their arms around each other!"
All Xin Wu could think of was to use collective strength to fight against the gushing water.
Fortunately, the total volume of the tree hole is limited, and the rain gradually subsided. The friends gritted their teeth and persisted for more than ten minutes, and finally no longer had to fight against this force.
It was only then that everyone discovered: the sky was full of stars, and after the heavy rain, the washed sky opened up the most beautiful picture for everyone!
"It's so beautiful!"
"Galaxy! Galaxy!"
"The Big Dipper! I saw the Big Dipper!"
"Yes, there is Polaris at the other end, the brightest one!"
The clouds were surging and wandering, but they finally refused to let the children see the full moon behind the clouds. They let the moonlight shine brightly and darkly under their heads, "colorful clouds chasing the moon".
"Ah!————A sneeze!"
Dial had been soaking in the water for a long time, and the last heat in his thin body was taken away by the cold water.
"Okay, okay, stop looking at the stars and think about how to get down from the tree!"
Duguse just glanced at the starry sky for a few moments and then began to study the method of cutting down the tree.
"The branch closest to here seems to be able to bear the weight of a person; then climb to the branch on the right and turn around, then slide down one position, and there will be another thick branch that can be caught, and then continue Climb down; after the last branch, which is only five or six meters above the ground, the trunk is very smooth. If you hold on tight, you can slide down."
He pointed out his discovery to everyone. Shi Baoshan also listened carefully and thought it was feasible, so he was the first to climb out of the water and decided to give it a try for everyone.
"I'll go first!"
That's Shi Baoshan. After being soaked in water for so long, he can still move so quickly. It's really enviable!
Soon, Shi Baoshan was on the sand under the tree, waving his hands upward to celebrate the "successful exploration of the path"!
"It's easy. Come down too! I'll pick you up below."
After all, it was the boys. Everyone had enough firepower. Following this "mature route", the friends landed safely on the ground one by one.
"Ah! We succeeded!"
Ma Gawa was the first to cheer loudly again. She hugged little Jinzang and wanted to throw him into the Milky Way in the sky.
Duguse was not in the mood to celebrate, so he just silently took off his clothes, wrung them dry, and wrapped them around Diyal, who was shivering from the cold.
Xin Wu saw Dugu Se's behavior and admired it very much. He walked over, patted his shoulder, and praised: "You are not so 'done'! You are very caring! Well done!"
After the heavy rain, the desert ground became semi-dry and semi-wet. When everyone stepped on it, the fine sand was easily squeezed out from between the toes and covered the feet, adding a layer of " Sandy "shoes".
After all this trouble, all the children and their shoes were gone, and everyone was happily jumping barefoot on the sand, celebrating their "survival".
"Brother Xinwu, this doesn't seem to be the place where we rested at noon. There are no such thick and tall trees."
Yuchi's Niandeji Road was always good. Even if it was only illuminated by starlight and the moonlight that occasionally leaked from the gaps in the clouds, and the light dimmed and brightened, he was convinced that this was not the original place where he dug for water and fell.
"Yes, we have drifted far away."
"I don't know where the other nine friends are now!"
Huodun continued to learn from Xin Wu and worry about the safety of others.
"Yes! Now we can only walk and look for them at the same time."
After the rain, the sand under the trees was too wet to stay overnight. Xin Wu decided to take everyone on the road. At least, in the desert, traveling at night is much easier than traveling by day.
"Then which direction should we go?"
Huodun's red hair began to dry again, and gradually grew in size, making it easier for him to put his hands in and scratch it.
