Chapter 62 The White-haired Old Thief (2)

This pool of water is much deeper than I imagined, and the whole person will sink directly when I go there.

In this early autumn weather, jumping into the icy groundwater, the [-] pores of the frozen person's body were closed, and I sank down, only to realize that I can't swim. Stop wanting to swim up.

However, the more I wanted to surface, the faster I sank, I kept turning somersaults in the water, and I couldn't find it.After thumping a few times, I realized that I can't be in a hurry. At this time, the more anxious and chaotic, the situation will only get worse.

Immediately, I held that breath, stopped thumping, let myself sink, and followed the current, and my body quickly and naturally adjusted. At this time, I began to recall the postures of those swimmers, trying to swim upstream.

I tried my best to control myself not to panic, so I relaxed my body and went upstream. Although my posture was not right, I finally stopped sinking and my whole body began to float upwards.

I drowned once when I was a child, and I never learned how to swim after being hit somewhere, and my limbs became stiff when I got into the water. Now it is a blessing in disguise, and I have overcome my psychological shadow.

I came up to the surface in one breath, because the torch had been extinguished in the water, so the cave was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. I could hear the sound of splashing water in my ears, which seemed to be the sound of rats flopping.

"Brother Wei? Jin Le? How are you doing?" Although I have overcome the swimming obstacle, I am not very proficient in swimming, and it is quite difficult to maintain my figure in the water.

"I'm fine." It was Brother Wei who answered me, but Jin Le didn't make a sound, and didn't know what was going on.

As soon as Brother Wei finished speaking, he saw a dim yellow light suddenly appear on the dark water surface. The only bright light in the darkness immediately attracted my attention.

I took a closer look, and it turned out that it was the doctor who lit his windproof lighter, but he couldn't free his hand to hold the lighter, so he put the bottom of the lighter in his mouth, gestured towards Brother Wei and me, and pointed Pointing to the opposite side, signaling us to cross the water and land on the opposite side.

Those rats were flopping about in the water. Although they couldn't drown, their swimming skills were as good as mine, and they couldn't attack us in the water. Even if a small number of rats swam to me and wanted to bite me, I plunged into the water, They can't hurt me anymore.

Immediately, the doctor led the way with a lighter in his mouth, and Brother Wei and I swam to the opposite side with all our strength.

After swimming for four or five minutes, the doctor and Brother Wei landed one after another. I was the one who swam the hardest and was as tired as my grandson, so I barely landed. However, the doctor was still in need of a beating, and he said something that made people vomit blood calmly. ;"Your dog planing is fine."

I was so tired and out of breath right now, I didn't have time to compete with him, so I said, "That is, most people can't learn it."

At this moment, the three of us were dripping water all over our bodies, just like three water ghosts who just got up from the water. The cold groundwater made people feel goose bumps all over their bodies.

The entrance of the passage when we came was about ten meters away from us, and behind us was the mountain wall, with no way to go, and the stagnant water below seemed to have no end in this darkness.

On the opposite side of the road, there was a dense group of rats. We were in the water before, and many of them got into the water, but some of them were on the shore. As soon as we got ashore, these things rushed towards us immediately.

The three of us now have no torches in our hands. Even if we run away now, we will be overtaken by mice soon, and we will be really desperate.

There seems to be only one way out, and that is to go back into the water again, to avoid it for a while.

Just when I was about to propose, suddenly, the group of rats rushing towards us stopped abruptly, and stayed in their original positions one by one, just like when they surrounded us at first, they became quiet .

As soon as the restless group of rats calmed down, the surroundings became deathly silent. In this silence, a slight clicking sound came from behind the group of rats.

Due to the limited light, although we can judge the general location and number of rat groups, most of them rely on hearing rather than vision.At this moment, the swarm of rats stopped commotion, and all we can see is only a short distance in front of us.

I don't know what the clicking sound was, but it was obvious that it was approaching us.

I swallowed, lowered my voice and said, "Did the white-haired mouse come out?"

The doctor said: "Not sure, when it came out before, I didn't hear such a sound."

While speaking, the crackling sound also stopped suddenly, and the surroundings fell into a strange silence.

The three of us stood close to the mountain wall at the end of the intersection. The exit was only about ten meters away from us, but we didn't dare to rush over.

Brother Wei obviously didn't understand, so he looked puzzled and said in a hoarse voice: "What are these mice doing? Why didn't they move all of a sudden."

The doctor shook his head, expressing that he was not clear, and said: "Anyway, it won't be a good thing. We don't have fire in our hands now, and the situation is not good." While talking, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned his head and asked me: "By the way , why did you come down? Didn’t you ask you to send Xiaoyou back?”

When he asked, I immediately remembered what happened to me, and quickly told Brother Wei and the others about the patriarch's group in a few words.

Brother Wei was shocked when he heard this: "It turns out that this is the case. Our place is high on the mountain and the emperor is far away. Something happened. The family law is greater than the king's law. Since there is a secret that the patriarch doesn't want to be known in this place, once they find us, It might really kill us."

I said: "That's why I came down to inform you and wanted you to avoid it, but I didn't expect that you were tied up by a white-haired mouse. By the way, why did the corpse in the passage disappear?"

As soon as I said this, Brother Wei's expression changed and he didn't say a word.

The doctor then said: "Not long after you left, we were attacked by rats and driven into the rat hole, and the corpse was carried behind the big iron gate by those rats."

The doubts in my heart were immediately resolved, and I said: "So that's the case, I said why those corpses disappeared, which made me think for a while, thinking that they got up and left by themselves, and those rats moved them away together." .Speaking of which, what are those rats doing with the corpses? Could it be for food?"

Brother Wei said in a hoarse voice, "Those corpses have been here for many years. If you want to eat them, you should eat them early. Moreover, the white-haired mice have lived for a long time, and they are also spiritual creatures. They won't eat those smelly corpses."

The doctor said: "Don't worry about why they moved the corpse, first think about what we should do now."
