Chapter 83 Underground Underworld (3)

"What's going on!" I dragged Brother Wei ashore to have a look, only to see that his shoulder was stained red with blood, and there was a bullet hole on it.

Someone up there is shooting!
There is no one else in this place, only the patriarch's group.

But... haven't they already crossed the water?
I hurriedly dragged Brother Wei away from the opening below the crack. Just as I was dragging him away, the man above fired another shot, just right next to Brother Wei, but missed.

I got angry and cursed: "You bastard, wait for grandpa, be careful not to fall into my hands!" But after shouting, I couldn't help coughing twice, and my chest felt a sharp pain.

Wei Ge covered the bleeding wound on his shoulder, frowned in pain, hissed and gasped, and said, "Maybe the crossing was blocked, I don't know why they came back again."

I said, "Maybe the rats drove them back, what should we do now?"

The doctor squinted his eyes and said: "Take out the bullet first." Then he said to me: "If you continue to scold and trick them, I am worried now, if they are chased by mice, will they follow you?" .”

I was also driven into a hurry, and said harshly: "Come down one by one and kill the other, we've got the upper hand, easy to defend but hard to attack, just right."

The doctor said: "The guy in our hand can still fire three shots in total. Even if the marksmanship is accurate, if one shot kills one, what should there be others behind? All three of us are seriously injured now, so we can't fight them head-on. .”

After a pause, he continued: "When you scold, shoot them quickly, regardless of whether you can hit them, let them know that we have guns in our hands, it can increase their worries and shock them. "

So far, that's all there is to it. Immediately, the doctor went to fetch the bullets for Brother Wei, while I shouted with a gun.

Brother is also a civilized person, and he doesn't usually swear casually, but today he used all the words I would swear in my life.

There were also scolding voices from above, but under the excitement, the dialect was very strong, and I couldn't understand what they scolded me.When I was scolding vigorously, I quickly jumped out and shot upwards.

Sure enough, the gunshots silenced the other party, and the shouting and cursing stopped for a while.

The doctor gave him an appreciative look and said, "We fired the guns. They don't know how many guns and bullets we have in our hands. In addition, we have an advantage in the terrain, so there must be concerns. They shouldn't act rashly." Come down." While speaking, he took out the bullet on Brother Wei's shoulder, there was no anesthetic, Brother Wei was in pain, his face was covered with sweat, and he had to tear off his clothes to make a bandage on the wound, and hastily bandaged it.

He was injured by rats and big fish before, and the doctor had used up the old blood jerky in his pocket at that time, and there was no extra old blood jerky for Brother Wei at the moment, so he could only endure it.

After finishing this, the three of us stood against the stone wall, and it was impossible to even sit down.

From time to time, Taotao's yellow spring water patted people's lower body, and his legs were already frozen as if they were not his own.

The only relatively large foothold is the place where the doctor fell down before. Unfortunately, that place is facing the top of the crack, and it is impossible for us to go there, otherwise it will be a target.

There are patriarchs blocking the way above, and the underground river below. We seem to be driven into a desperate situation, and the psychological pressure is extremely high for a while.

I rested against the stone wall for a while, not giving up, and said: "There is no unparalleled road, and the snake demon is also down here. It has to eat, right? I don't believe it, it will always hide like us."

Brother Wei said: "We came down from the cracks. There are many cracks in the ground. There may be other ways out. The environment here is too wet and cold. The three of us don't have the energy to keep exhausting here. I think we should find other ways out."

The doctor didn't refute. Immediately, we three wounded soldiers discussed and decided to go up the underground river to see if there was any other way out.

Why is it up, not down?
Because the former Huangquan River has dried up long ago, it means that the groundwater has changed its course. Now the end of the underground river is probably deeper underground, and it is impossible to lead to the outside world, but if you go up, you may be able to find the previous river course.

Even if you can't find the previous river course, according to the principle of going up and not going down, it is better to go up than down.

Immediately, taking advantage of the silence of the people above, the three of us lit the torches in the back basket, held them in our hands, and groped forward along the narrow and steep foothold on the mountain wall, and the snake demon never showed up. noodle.

Since we are walking close to the stone wall, the place where our feet can rest is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and the wide place is naturally better. In the narrow place, you have to open your mouth wide, bite the wooden handle of the torch in your mouth, and climb up the stone wall with both hands to move forward. Hard work, naturally needless to say.

After groping forward for more than ten minutes, the sound of the water below was roaring, and no other movement could be heard, let alone the follow-up of the patriarch's group. However, there was no light source behind them, and they hadn't come down yet.

Just when the three of us were exhausted, a high platform suddenly appeared on the stone wall in front of us.

The moment I saw the high platform, I was overjoyed, because there were traces of artificial carving on the edge of the high platform, which meant that someone had come down before, and someone might have other exits!

We hurried forward a few steps and climbed up to the high platform. Our muscles and legs were tense all the time. Only then did we have time to rest. The three of us sat down on the ground one after another, gasping for breath.

The platform is about four square meters, not too big, the top is polished flat, and the bottom is one piece. Since the platform is not particularly high, groundwater can still splash up, so the platform is drenched.

While breathing, I couldn't help rubbing my stomach.

Since I came down to now, I haven't bothered to eat something. When I go out in the morning, Wei Laolai's family has a simple meal, so I drink a bowl of white porridge with boiled potatoes dipped in salt.

Now after all the tossing and eating, the little food has already been digested, and the stomach is overwhelmed with hunger, making a gurgling sound, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

My stomach growled like a chain reaction, and the doctor and Brother Wei's stomach growled too.

The three of them played the hunger symphony in unison, looked at each other for a while, and smiled wryly.

The feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable, the more you feel it, the more severe it will be, in order to divert my attention, I swallowed my saliva, and gave the hot pot, seafood, barbecue, hot and sour fish that I imagined in my mind. Throw it away, and change the subject: "There are still people in this place who have such a platform, and I don't know what it is for."

Brother Wei replied absent-mindedly: "Maybe it was for putting things." He closed his eyes, feeling quite uncomfortable, probably the wound hurts badly.

The doctor rubbed his head and simply lay down on the ground, leaving me alone.

I haven't had a concussion before, so I don't know what it's like, but it must be very uncomfortable to see a doctor who has always been particularly capable of taking care of things, and can fall to the ground at will in such a dangerous environment.

So I had to cheer up and let the air go.

And at this moment, I suddenly saw a raised thing on the left side of the platform.

Taking a closer look, it seems to be some kind of iron.

I was curious and didn't know what it was, so I went over to find out.
