After leaving the reeds, Wang Ke ran towards the shack. When building this shack, more than a dozen calf-thick tree trunks had been cut down. The short ones are two or three meters long, and the long ones are four or five meters long.
Wang Ke looked around and quickly found a shack. He pulled out his military dagger and started cutting the bark ropes used to build the shack.
"Crack", a shack collapsed. Two willow tree trunks four or five meters long were quite heavy when Wang Ke weighed them with his hands. The other two tree trunks, which are more than two meters tall, are slightly thinner, but are still very strong.
"Comrade Xiao Wang, what do you want to do? Use them to drive piles?"
"Teacher Wen, believe me, we can't drive piles, but we can make piles." Wang Ke said to Professor Wen as he spoke: "Now I have to carry these four piles over, and I also need to find a woven bed."
"Okay, let's come together." Professor Wen had unlimited hopes for Wang Ke.
"Teacher Wen, I will carry the two big ones, and each of you will carry the small one." After saying that, Wang Ke carried two large tree trunks weighing more than a hundred kilograms on his shoulders. Quickly jump into the water and walk back to where you were.
Now we have to compete with life for time.
When he arrived at the place, Wang Ke threw the tree trunk into the water and walked back to carry the bed made of willow sticks and wattle twigs.
"I'll carry it, you handle it here." Professor Wen had already realized what Wang Ke wanted to do.
"Okay! I'll dig a ditch here." After saying that, Wang Ke stepped back ten meters away. He bent down and started cutting the reed roots under the water with a military dagger. Although it is difficult to cut, it cannot stop the sharpness of a military dagger. He cut it open, one knife at a time, and he cut four to five meters. Return to the body and continue to cut down the second layer along the edge of the knife. Repeat this until there are four layers until the reed root is finally at the bottom. Wang Ke used his hand to explore and found that it was dozens of centimeters deep, with earth and rocks underneath.
Next, Wang Ke cut another one meter long and equally deep ditch vertically in the middle of the ditch. When Professor Wen returns again, these tasks have basically been completed. But Ye Qianqian never understood what Wang Ke was doing. But she understood that this must be the only way to save his father.
Wang Ke began to tie the two longer trunks with a rope from the middle, and then put them into the ditch. Then he inserted the two shorter trunks into the front of the long trunk from both ends, and tied the rope vertically from the middle ditch. Lead out.
"Come on, give it a try, Teacher Wen, Qianqiang, you two hold on to the stakes, stand on the two tree trunks, and hold them down."
After the two stood still, Wang Ke pulled up the hemp rope from the vertical ditch under the water and stepped back five or six steps, and then pulled it hard. The two tree trunks were motionless under the reed roots dozens of centimeters deep. The large reed roots are integrated with the hemp rope.
At this time, Wang Ke spread the bed made of willow sticks and wattle sticks in front of the two stakes. Then he walked up to Professor Wen and said seriously: "Teacher Wen, this is our only chance to rescue them. I'll go down." , you and Qianqian stop and help me escort. No matter what happens, leave me alone. If I can't come up, you can leave and wait for rescue. If I come up, they will have hope."
"This won't work, or we wait for rescue." Professor Wen grabbed him. He now understood that Wang Ke was going down to deliver the hemp rope. According to the principle of mechanics, these two tree trunks will be firmly sucked by the reed roots that are more than ten square meters thick, and there are people pressing on the two ends above. Unless the ten-meter-wide, intertwined reeds are uprooted, they will be able to withstand it. Live alone.
But as the waterfall descends to the bottom of the pit, not to mention the impact of the cold water, it is completely unknown what is going on below, and the risk of going down is still very high.
At this time, Ye Qianqian also understood that Wang Ke was going to risk his life.
"Wang Ke, I don't want you to go!" She finally cried.
"Stand still!" Wang Ke said seriously, uncharacteristically, "It just so happens that down here is not just your father, but also two comrades. Please cooperate with Teacher Wen well. If one of us makes a mistake, our operation will fail. "
Ye Qianqian was already in tears at this time. Only the sound of water could be heard in the dark night, and no one heard her sobbing.
"Teacher Wen, listen carefully. If I come up here, I will blow the whistle."
"Okay. Don't worry, if the rope becomes loose, we will definitely pull you up."
Wang Ke nodded, tied one end of the rope around his waist, grabbed the rope and ran forward a few meters, jumped up, and jumped down the waterfall sinkhole with the rolling water.
The huge impact instantly knocked Wang Ke to pieces, and the cold river water instantly soaked Wang Ke's body. Wang Ke still took out his iron whistle and blew it during the landing. He flipped his hands alternately and soon came to a platform, and behind the water curtain, there turned out to be a rock. Looking forward, there was nothing but a curtain of water falling from the sky. He held the rope with one hand and clung to the cliff while whistling in his mouth.
Suddenly he heard the same whistle coming clearly not far away, and the sound of the water was too loud. He moved forward along the water curtain. If he hadn't been there, even if there was a rope thrown down from above, he wouldn't have been able to pass through the water curtain.
After a few more steps, the water curtain broke. Under a cliff about ten meters wide, there were several shadowy figures. He shouted loudly: "Professor Ye!" The voice was immediately drowned in the sound of water. But as those figures moved, he clearly saw the iron whistle blowing on the opposite side, moving in his direction. The whistle got closer and closer, and he finally saw clearly the two figures arriving in front of him. It was Professor Ye, and he was carrying someone on his back.
"Xiao Wang, how did you get down?"
Just as Professor Wen judged. After setting off in the morning, Professor Ye Rongguang's group quickly arrived at the reed bush. At first they did not pay attention to the changes in the water flow here, but were immersed in collecting underwater biological samples. After much effort, I managed to catch a few fish similar to those found in the underground river from the river bay with the fishing net I brought with me.
This made them particularly excited, and archeology turned into a biological investigation.
The river bend is deeper than imagined. While catching fish around the river bend, Professor Ye Rongguang accidentally discovered that the upper reaches of the river are wide and the water flows continuously, but the lower reaches of the river are dry, trickling and almost drying up.
This contrast caused Professor Ye Rongguang to think, what is the truth? Then, their team ran again along the upstream and downstream rivers, and the results confirmed that this river bend swallowed a large amount of river water.
Is there a funnel here that sucks the water into the ground? In order to confirm this judgment, the three people rolled up their trousers and went into the river, but there were no whirlpools on the river. So Professor Ye Rongguang tore off a few pieces of paper from his notebook and followed the floating paper into the reeds. Finally, I was pleasantly surprised to discover this waterfall sinkhole, where the source of the underground river lies.
When they raised their heads and woke up from their joy, they realized that the time had arrived.
He quickly pulled away and walked out. The faster he hurried, the harder he could get out of the reeds and kept wandering around in them. Accidentally, I walked back to the original place. Then, a provincial expert who was walking in front accidentally fell into the pit and was instantly washed down the waterfall sinkhole.
If you panic at this time, if you are calm and take out the flare gun and walkie-talkie, you can still organize a self-rescue. But he was eager to save people, so he quickly took out the rope he carried with him and wanted to put it down to save people. One person was pulling from the top, and the other was looking for it downwards. As a result, under the impact of the huge water flow, both of them were dragged down the waterfall sinkhole.
Below was a huge pool, about five or six meters deep, and both of them were thrown to pieces. Quickly swim to the shore, except for a rucksack. All the ropes and the flare gun on his back were washed away, leaving only two condoms.
When we arrived at the shore, with the last light of daylight, we discovered that another comrade was still there by the pool. Then he ran along the water curtain and dragged the comrade up. Only then did he realize that the comrade was even worse and had broken his leg. The three people found a platform and observed carefully. The current location was twenty meters away from the top, and there was a huge sinkhole under the pool. Like steps, the river flows through this pool and then continues to the sinkhole.
Fortunately, the place where they fell was not the sinkhole, otherwise they would definitely die.
But despite this, the hope of survival is getting further and further away. Who can know that they are deep in the reeds, who can know that they are in this waterfall sinkhole.
Checking the luggage, the camera was soaked in water, the walkie-talkie was soaked in water, the telescope was soaked in water, the compass was still usable, but useless. The three of them took out the soaked food and ate some among them. Now I can only save my energy. In the waterfall sinkhole, they saw two red flares before and after. But so what? They can't respond.
I could only watch helplessly as the two red flares drew a circle in the sky and then slowly went out.
Dry your clothes slowly. But it was still very cold in the waterfall sinkhole in autumn. What was even worse was that the colleague who had his leg broken actually developed a fever.
Clear sky at night with twinkling stars. No one knows that there are three lives in this huge waterfall sinkhole.
The three of them sat on the stone. Professor Ye Rongguang looked at the watch on his wrist. He didn't know if it was still accurate even though it had been soaked in water. Maybe it would be better when daylight comes. Professor Ye Rongguang has already prepared for the worst, which means more misfortune than good. If he jumped down, maybe he would drift to the side of the skeleton and sleep here, keeping company with this underground river.
About a little later in the night, Professor Ye Rongguang heard the sound of gunfire. He once again saw a red signal flare rising above the waterfall sinkhole, and soon another one was raised. He touched his side, and suddenly he heard the sound of an iron whistle coming from above. When he touched his own, it was still hanging around his neck. He knew that the rescuers had arrived, and he blew desperately amidst the "rumbling" sound of the water.
Soon there was silence above, and he believed that they must be thinking of a solution. After waiting agonizingly for nearly an hour, when the whistle sounded again, he vaguely saw a figure falling from the sky, and then the whistle sounded and ran towards him. So Ye Rongguang carried his colleague on his back and moved towards this side along the water curtain and on the slippery cliff.
Then, the most exciting scene before appeared.
The four finally meet up. Putting down his colleagues, Ye Rongguang grabbed Wang Ke, and the fire of rebirth was ignited again.
He hugged Wang Ke and said, "How did you get down? Why did you take this risk?"
Professor Ye Rongguang knew that there was nowhere to tie a rope above the waterfall sinkhole. And after coming down, even if there is a rope, I can't get up.
When Wang Ke saw that there was another wounded person, he felt nervous. "Uncle Ye, do you still have the strength?"
To be honest, it was difficult to stand up at this time. I just used my last bit of strength to carry my colleague here. If you let yourself climb up with this rope, it is almost impossible.
"Uncle Ye, let's go to the place where I came down just now. I will teach you how to tie the rope. I will climb up. There are three of us on top. We will drag you up one by one."
After speaking, Wang Ke bent down, untied the rope, and tied it to Ye Rongguang first. "No, tie them first, I'll be the last one."
"Okay." Wang Ke first tied up the young comrade and warned, "I'll climb up first and I'll blow the whistle. Then you respond, and we'll start pulling again. Come on, let's go over there first."
When he arrived at the place where he had just flown down, Wang Ke no longer needed to tie himself up. Instead, there was a whistle, and he grabbed the rope, flipped his hands left and right, and climbed up with his bare hands. I started learning this in the recruit class. It’s no problem to jump up to 20 meters.
"One two, one two, one two..." He counted, cheered himself up, and moved his hands together.
Wang Ke finally climbed up the upper edge of the waterfall sinkhole. Next, he, Professor Wen, and Ye Xianqian tried their best to drag one up one by one. They tied a short tree stump and put it down, and four people pulled up another one.
Before the rescue team arrived, they all successfully rescued themselves relying on the method Wang Ke came up with!
