In a corner of the southwest sky thousands of miles away, you can ride on the wind and take a leisurely tour. -------Song Jingbo's "Ding Feng Bo"
The small village has its own boundless beauty. Chen Long looked at the smoke from the cooking pots every day, gazing at the morning and dusk. A few days passed in a blink of an eye. In the past few days, Zhang had accompanied him to explore the surroundings, and all he could see were vast mountains, only hunting trails, and cliffs everywhere. Since Chen Long knew that he was in the southwest, if he wanted to climb out of the mountains and enter the Central Plains, he had only two options, one was to go east, the other was to go north, and Shuilian Cave was located in the east-northeast of the small village, so it naturally became Chen Long has been thinking about the key points of the exploration. When the raft is built, he will immediately set off to explore.
In the early morning of this day, Mrs. Zhang prepared breakfast for Chen Long. Seeing him eating it deliciously, she smiled and stuffed something into Chen Long's arms. Chen Long unfolded it and saw that it was a new robe of coarse cloth with a pair of cloth boots wrapped inside. It turned out that Ms. Zhang stayed up all night and sewed new clothes and shoes specially for Chen Long. Chen Long was moved when he heard Mr. Zhang say: "Brother Chen, try it quickly. If it doesn't suit me, I will change it." Chen Long quickly put it on. I put on my new clothes and saw that they fit me perfectly. It was obviously tailor-made. I tried on my new shoes and they also fit perfectly. She couldn't help but said with joy, "Taohua, how do you know my size?" When Mrs. Zhang heard the word size, she said, Thinking a little, his face turned red and he said, "Brother Chen, I measured you when you were asleep, just make sure it's suitable." After saying that, he carried the bowl and basin as if he was running for his life, and hurried to the kitchen.
Chen Long didn't know that Mrs. Zhang was thinking wrongly. He shook his head and said that this woman loves to blush. He didn't take it seriously at the moment and walked around the yard twice in his new robe. It felt like a shotgun exchange for a gun. Touching the arms of the clothes, he also sewed several small pockets. The small pockets were closed with cloth tapes. They were obviously used to store valuables such as silver coins. Chen Long praised Taohua's meticulous thinking and stuffed the electric nail into a small pocket. , tightened it with cloth straps, stuffed the Qinglong Dagger into the boots, and used cloth straps as leggings to tighten them. Just as they were packing up, they heard Liu's busy voice outside the hospital: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen! The raft is ready!"
Chen Long was overjoyed and thought that the magpie had arrived just in time. When he opened the courtyard door, he saw Liu Mang, Liu Li, and San Dan arriving. Liu Li and Liu Mang were carrying several rolls of long ropes on their backs, and San Dan was carrying a big The backpack, thought to be some climbing equipment, was unloaded at the door in a hurry. Mrs. Zhang heard the noise and walked into the courtyard. Everyone looked at Chen Long, waiting for his orders.
Seeing that everything was ready, Chen Long gave an order, and several people packed up their bags and each held a torch. Mrs. Zhang carried some dry food on her back and left the village neatly, with a few furry children following behind her to have fun. It goes straight to the entrance of the village, which is like the Olympic torch relay competition. Chen Long was looking forward to finding a way out soon, and without stopping for a moment, he led everyone to the small lake. Erdan and a few villagers were laughing and playing with the newly built raft in the lake. When they saw Chen Long coming, they rowed to the shore with joy. .
When Chen Long saw that the raft was equipped with paddles and poles, he nodded with satisfaction, thanked the villagers who helped, got on the raft with a few others, and rowed slowly towards the waterfall. Along the way, he saw only sparkling waves, the sky and the earth were long, and there were flowers and trees in the distance. He was in an extremely good mood. Chen Long couldn't help but stand up and shouted to the sky with joy. He only hoped that God would make this trip go smoothly and find the passage. The exit to the outside world. Seeing that Chen Long was happy, Mrs. Zhang also laughed heartily. Her pretty face was so bright in the sun. If it weren't for a few light bulbs next to her, Mrs. Zhang would have had to throw herself into Chen Long's arms, but she would have left if Chen Long found a way out. , and couldn't help but feel sad.
After rowing leisurely to the other side of the lake, a few people carried the raft to the foot of the waterfall. They saw big beads and small beads falling into the jade plate. A shallow colorful neon was looming in the mist. It was really beautiful. Several people dropped the raft and went down to the pool along the edge. Chen Long's childlike innocence suddenly emerged. He suddenly picked up Ms. Zhang and jumped into the pool. Fortunately, the edge of the pool was very shallow. Ms. Zhang stood up and shouted that she refused. His white clothes were wet and his graceful figure was on full display. He looked at the big light bulbs and his nose started to bleed. Erdan squatted in shame and did not dare to get up, for fear that everyone would see that he had set up a big tent.
Having had enough trouble, everyone climbed onto the raft and rowed hard towards the waterfall. As they approached the waterfall and fell into the water, they felt mist pouring on their faces. Suddenly, heavy water pressure came over them. The front end of the raft suddenly sank, and the raft instantly turned over. Facing the sky, Chen Long had no time to react and was pushed heavily into the deep water. In a hurry, he opened his eyes and saw Mrs. Zhang in white. He hugged Mrs. Zhang and went upstream. When their heads were exposed, they were both breathing heavily. Looking back, I was already within the water curtain.
Just when he didn't know whether to advance or retreat, Sandan and several people emerged from the water curtain, and several of them were still leading the raft. Chen Long was overjoyed and quickly led Ms. Zhang, and everyone climbed onto the raft again. Fortunately, everyone was there. Sandan suddenly chuckled, it turned out that his backpack had disappeared, and he thought it was confiscated by the Dragon King after all. Several rolls of long ropes were also missing, and the raft had been looted. Several wooden oars and torches popped out of the water. After salvaging them, they found that the torches were soaked in kerosene and should still be usable, but they could not be used to start a fire. Everything is in the three-egg backpack. If there is no fire starter, what will ignite it? Everyone was staring at each other, not expecting that their first adventure would end so prematurely. Suddenly, they saw Sandan making a sound in his mouth. He took out an oil paper bag from his arms. After opening it, he turned out to be several fire dumplings and handed it to Chen Long.
Chen Long took it over happily and reached out to rub the back of San Dan's head. Everyone also praised San Dan for being smart. San Dan had never been so flattered and flattered for a moment. His big tongue stuck out again. Chen Long was afraid that he would come up and lick it, so he licked it quickly. He returned his hand, wrapped the fire folding bag in oil paper, and put it in his arms. Everyone followed the cave wall and slowly rowed into the cave. Gradually, the cave became as dark as ink. Fortunately, there were no side roads. Chen Long took out a fire stick, shook it and lit a torch.
The torch gradually became brighter, and the surrounding area became clearer. When I looked up, I couldn't see the top of the cave, and I didn't know how high it was. The water was calm without any ripples, only the wooden paddles hitting the water formed small whirlpools. After rowing for a long time, I saw a tall stone wall in front of me, and it was the end.
There was nothing gained along the way. Chen Long put his hand into the water depressedly, feeling the pool of stagnant water. The torch was shining. Chen Long suddenly saw what seemed to be a white mark on the stone wall at the end. He quickly took the torch and looked closer. He saw that the white mark was actually... It's a shallow palm print. To be able to leave a palm print on this hard rock is really quite a skill. Liu Lida said: "I think the senior master also came here. Seeing that there was no way out, he struck the stone wall in a hurry."
Chen Long was unwilling to give up, so he jumped into the water and dived for a while. The water was like blind eyes. It was really a pool of stagnant water. Chen Long was about to come up when suddenly there was a trace of a broken leaf floating in front of his eyes. Chen Long's heart moved and he dived away with the trace of a broken leaf. Gradually, he felt that the speed of the remaining leaves was gradually increasing, and then disappeared. Chen Long could already feel the water flowing faster in one direction, and he was very happy. Unexpectedly, there was a cave at the bottom of the water, and he didn't know where it led. After exhausting his breath, Chen Long emerged from the water and swam toward the torch.
After climbing onto the bamboo raft and listening to Chen Long's statement, everyone looked at each other with embarrassment. I don't know how deep the underwater cave is. Where can I find a submarine to explore? Chen Long said resolutely: "I can hold my breath for fifteen minutes. I will swim in to explore and return in seven and a half minutes. It should be fine." Looking up at their dumbfounded and incomprehensible idiots, he remembered that at that time, He didn't have the concept of minutes, so he quickly changed his words: "I can only hold my breath for half an hour. If I find anything, I will come back and take you to swim there." When everyone heard that, that was all they could do. No one could hold their breath as well as Chen Long. Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a while, then took out the dry food packaged in oil paper from her arms and stuffed it into Chen Long's arms, with a look of reluctance and tears in her eyes. Chen Long quickly comforted her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
After sorting out his belongings and tying the dry food and fire sticks tightly in his arms, Chen Long jumped into the water and quickly swam in the direction of the current. When he reached the predetermined location, he took a deep breath and plunged into the water. After sinking about 10 meters, the current appeared. Chen Long immediately followed the current, silently counting the time in his heart.
The water flow slowly increased in speed, and Chen Long suddenly hit the stone wall. Knowing that the water flow entered another cave from here, he quickly touched the wall and followed the water flow into another cave. Chen Long tried to float up. Sure enough, he hit the roof of the cave in the water and couldn't lift his head to breathe. He quickly continued swimming along the current.
Counting to six minutes, the water flow speeded up again, but the cave roof was still unable to emerge. Chen Long held on to the cave roof, hesitating whether to turn back or not. He gritted his teeth and continued forward, thinking that he would wait for another minute. The water flow suddenly accelerated rapidly. Chen Long screamed that something was wrong. He was about to turn around. Suddenly, the sky was shattered. His body was hanging in the air and falling with the water flow. Chen Long instinctively stretched out his hand to grab in mid-air. Suddenly, his left arm suddenly touched something, as if he had touched something. The object inserted vertically into the cliff was hit by the current with a loud bang and fell to the bottom of the water.
I struggled to get out of the water, but I couldn't see anything in the dark. I could only hear the roar of water beside me. It turned out that I had just been swept down by an underground waterfall and fell into an underground river. Chen Long was shocked and silently calculated that he had fallen about 40 meters. When he fell about 20 meters, he encountered something inserted into the rock wall of the waterfall. There was no way back. I couldn't think of anything to do, I could only drift away with the current, thinking that this was not a way out.
After drifting for about two kilometers, a ray of skylight appeared in front of him. Chen Long was overjoyed and quickly performed a few beautiful butterfly strokes. As expected, the light in front became brighter and the outline of the cave entrance could be seen. Chen Long happily swam out of the cave entrance and looked around for the embankment. He saw the waves around him were as flat as a mirror, the water was dark green, and the walls were as tall as clouds. They were probably hundreds of meters up and down, forming a small circle, which was worthy of forming a cage. Chen Long surrounded the core.
Damn it, Chen Long's heart was instantly crossed by ten thousand grass and mud horses, and the word "tiankeng" floated in his mind. This is actually a large sinkhole, with the walls as smooth as a mirror and covered with wet moss. It is simply a dream to climb up without tools. Chen Long wished he could transform into a big gecko so that he could escape from his cage, but unexpectedly, Long traveled to the bottom of the well and turned into a frog at the bottom of the well.
After using the space-time machine several times, Chen Long helplessly began to observe the surrounding environment. Now, with no way out and a cage in front, Chen Long calmed down while facing a life-and-death crisis. Fortunately, there was enough light. Chen Long swam slowly along the four walls. Sure enough, he found a small cave at a low place, about 10 meters away from the water. This distance was not difficult for Chen Long, so he took out the Qinglong Dagger. He started digging a small pit under the cave, and suddenly he saw a small pit next to the place he wanted to dig. When he cleaned the pit, he found that there were traces of cuts by a dagger. He couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. Could it be that the senior Been here too?
Climbing up, there were indeed many small pits erected like stairs, which saved Chen Long a lot of energy. After getting into the cave, it was dark and dark a few meters in. The ground was still dry. Chen Long fell to the ground, his muscles and bones ached all over, and he couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.
On the other side of the mountain, in the Water Curtain Cave, only a few of the Zhang family were left waiting hard, but they didn't know that the so-called beauty was already on the other side of the water, and they could no longer look back.
