The years of reselling the haunted house

"But when we passed the cave, we didn't find such flying insects inside. If they flew in from the cave like us, even if we didn't find a lot of flying insects, how could we see one or two of them?" It's like flies, they should be everywhere. In fact, they are not, there are no them in the passage. You didn't pay attention to it, but I looked at it very carefully." The third uncle said.

I recalled that when entering the cave, the third uncle walked in the front with a torch, and he was indeed carefully observing the environment in the cave while walking.So his words are still believable.

Since these flying insects didn't come in from the cave, then...

I suddenly figured it out, pointed at the water curtain and said, "They flew in from here."

The third uncle nodded: "The lifespan of flying insects is not long, but the flying insects here exist for a long time, so they can only fly in from outside to replenish. I suspect that they fly from the direction of this waterfall." Come in. Of course, as I said, my statement still needs to be further verified and validated, and I only said it because you kept urging me."

"But this waterfall, not to mention flying insects, even a puff of smoke can't come in." Qian Qingfeng said looking at the impenetrable waterfall.

The third uncle took a look at Qian Qingfeng, shook his head and said, "Mr. Qian. You people are really similar to that old monster Ma Di. When you study a subject, you often strengthen it, but you people His other qualities and abilities are weakened.”

"What... what do you mean by that?" Qian Qingfeng asked more and more puzzled.

"Mr. Qian, Uncle Third means that since these flying insects can fly in from the direction of the waterfall, it means that this waterfall will not always be like this. At least there will be a chance for these flying insects to fly in. He let us What we are looking for is such an opportunity. Let’s see if we can use this opportunity to rush from the inside to the outside.”

I tried to explain to Qian Qingfeng.But Qian Qingfeng didn't take it seriously when he heard it, he shook his head: "Your thinking is simply too naive. How could such a big waterfall be possible... It's completely impossible. Forget it, you guys go on, I have to rest for a while gone."

Qian Qingfeng seemed to have a lot of self-esteem, and he was a little bit embarrassed by his third uncle. He said a few words, then used his backpack as a pillow, and lay down on the ground.Coupled with the fact that he had spent a lot of energy studying those murals just now, he must finally be a little bit unbearable at this time.

My third uncle and I didn't expect him to do anything, so we still stared at the waterfall in a daze.

I took a couple of sips from the water bag and handed it to my third uncle.The sound of rumbling water from this waterfall is so loud that when we talk inside, we mostly rely on shouting, and our voices are a little tight.

The third uncle waved his hand, refused to even take a sip of water, and was still looking at the water curtain.

Seeing that Uncle San is so persistent, I can't say anything more.Regarding Uncle San's statement that the water flow of this waterfall will not continue like this forever, and there will definitely be opportunities for us to go out, I believe it.

But I don't think this opportunity will come tonight.So speaking of it, all this is too coincidental.

Chapter 1442 Tides

I looked at it for a while, and my eyes became a little sore again, so I rubbed my eyes and yawned.

At this time, the third uncle suddenly asked me: "Nephew, isn't it fifteen today?"

I was taken aback for a moment, and soon realized that what Uncle San asked was the date of the lunar calendar.Since I often engage in these mysterious things, I have also made it a habit to record the date of the lunar calendar.Sometimes lunar dates tend to be remembered better than Gregorian dates.

After a little calculation in my mind, I affirmed the third uncle's question: "That's right, third uncle, today happens to be the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar."

The third uncle nodded and said nothing more.

As we all stopped talking, all we could hear was the rumble of the water.The sound was a little ear-shattering at first, but I got used to it after listening to it for a long time.

Qian Qingfeng leaned on his backpack, wondering if he was asleep or not, and I also dozed off a little.

Soon, I entered a chaotic state, and my mind was half asleep.

The concept of time became very vague, and I didn't know how long it had passed, when I suddenly heard my third uncle shout.

Suddenly, I didn't hear what he was shouting, and I jumped out of the half-asleep and half-awake state.I don't know if the third uncle has encountered some danger, I subconsciously grabbed the Dragon Subduing Wooden Sword beside me, and asked, "What's wrong?"

I saw Third Uncle staring at the water curtain, so excited that he almost rushed into the waterfall, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

First of all, I saw that my third uncle was fine, and my heart was more than half relieved.

"What are you shouting about? Surprised?" I asked angrily.

"Eldest nephew, come and take a look, there has been a change..." The third uncle kept waving at me without looking back.

I walked over and asked, "Uncle San, you won't keep staring at the water, will you?"

"Of course. Otherwise, can we find something?"

I looked at the waterfall for a while, my eyes were a little dazed again, I shook my head and said, "But I don't see any changes?"

The third uncle waved his hand: "That's because you have been watching for a short time, and you can see the change after a long time. Let me tell you, have you seen the water flow of this waterfall? It is much smaller now."

"Is there?" I couldn't see any change in the water flow no matter how I looked, and shook my head and said, "Third Uncle, even if there is a change, it is extremely small. I know what you mean, the water flow has become smaller." , in the end, it may give us a chance to rush out. But this change is too small. When the water flow is cut off, it will not be ten or eight years. Do we have time to wait here? Liang Yue and the others are still alive and dead Unknown, we can't stay here for too long. We have to leave here at dawn tomorrow."

The third uncle nodded: "I know. But I feel that the water flow of this waterfall will definitely change a lot tonight. Do you know why I asked you what day it is today?"

Seeing Uncle San's concerned expression, he felt that he had really discovered something.I thought about what Uncle San asked, and asked tentatively, "Uncle San, you don't think you're linking this waterfall with the tide, do you?"

The third uncle smiled mysteriously and said: "Nephew, you are smart enough, you are right. In Feng Shui, there are considerations about tides. I have also studied that tides are a natural phenomenon that normally occurs in coastal areas. Phenomenon refers to the periodic movement of seawater under the action of celestial tidal force. Our ancestors called the high tide in the morning tide and the high tide in the evening called tide in order to express the moment of tide. But I think the tide is absolutely It is not limited to sea water. The water flow of this waterfall should also have a certain relationship with the movement of celestial bodies. It’s just that few people will study it. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, which should be the time when the tide changes. What time is it now? gone?"

The third uncle asked about the hour again, but I couldn’t see the sky here, so I can only roughly infer that it should be at Haishi.

The third uncle said again: "That's the time to fast forward, let's have a look, wake up Qian Lao, and get ready, if the opportunity comes, success or failure will depend on it."

Seeing Uncle San talked about Datong's theory, and what he said was so sure, I didn't dare to be negligent, so I hurriedly woke up Qian Qingfeng.The old man was soundly asleep, and after being woken up, he was dazed and at a loss.

I briefly told him about the situation, and he didn't believe it, but we all put our bags on our backs, packed our things, and waited for the opportunity that Uncle San said.

Strange to say, just after we got everything ready, I suddenly discovered that the water flow of the waterfall really changed visible to the naked eye.

The water flow of the waterfall originally blocked the entire opening of the cave, so that we could not find any possibility of getting out.

But now the water flow on both sides of the cave entrance has begun to shrink inward, forming a gap leading to the outside world on both sides of the cave.

I can even feel more fresh air pouring in through those two gaps.And I also saw the starry sky outside from that gap.

This is real, not an illusion.

I confirmed this and rushed to the front of the waterfall.The third uncle grabbed me: "Don't worry, there should be big changes."

At this time, I didn't have time to appreciate the miracle of the third uncle, I just stared at the waterfall that continued to shrink the water flow.

The waterfall is dwindling as if someone cut off the water upstream.The gaps on both sides also gradually moved closer to the middle.

In the end, the huge waterfall, which was originally a torrent of water, turned into a small trickle of water column in the middle, flowing downward.

Three-quarters of the entire hole was exposed.Except for the starry sky outside, the rest that can be seen in the eyes is still the steep mountain wall.

Seeing this scene, the third uncle finally gave an order: "Okay, it's almost done. Hurry up and find a way to get out of here and go downstairs."

I slowly approached the entrance of the cave. Due to the impact of the waterfall, the stones at the entrance of the cave were washed very smooth.I cautiously glanced outside, and found that this was halfway up the mountain. We walked forward from the cave and climbed to the middle of the mountain without knowing it.

Think about it too, since there is a waterfall here, there must be a certain height under the water.

It was dark below, with no light at all.Because the entrance of the cave is relatively slippery, I dare not get too close, and I don't know how high it is from the ground.

In the end, to be sure, I let my third uncle and Qian Qingfeng hold my legs from behind, and I lay down at the entrance of the cave, poked my head out, and took a photo with my flashlight.

It turned out that there was a water pool below, about ten meters away from here.

And on the mountain wall on our side, there are still many tree vines hanging down from the mountain. Those tree vines have been hanging down from the mountain for an unknown number of years.

Chapter 1443

Fortunately, these vines are not the kind of spike vines that can attack people, they are just ordinary vines.

I retracted my body and told my third uncle and Qian Qingfeng what I saw.

At this time, a large group of flying insects flew in from the outside, just like the ones that were attached to the mural. These flying insects buzzed in and all fell on the mural.

I glanced at Third Uncle, and his previous judgment was completely correct.

Even Qian Qingfeng looked at the third uncle with admiration, seeing him nodding frequently and showing approval.

The third uncle was not complacent this time. After listening to my report, he said: "I guess the opening and closing time of this waterfall will not be too long, and there is not much time left for us. We can grab those vines and slide to Go down. Use this to get out of this cave."

I said worriedly: "Third Uncle, the bottom is not flat ground, but a pool of water. Will there be any danger after going down here?"

The third uncle shook his head: "I can't care about that much anymore. Wealth and honor are in danger. Although we are not here to seek wealth and honor, what we are looking for may be more important than wealth. How about this? Come on, if there is no danger, I will give you a signal with a flashlight from below."

With that said, the third uncle volunteered to go down to explore the way first.

In fact, this kind of work is usually for fat people. If the fat people are not around, then it should be me.

But this time the third uncle didn't send me down first like before, which shows a problem, the third uncle is also not aware of the dangers posed below.He usually likes to cheat me, it's true.But I know that if there is real danger, he will not stop me in front.

This time he volunteered to go down, how could I have the heart to let him take the risk first?

"Forget it third uncle, let me get down first. There seems to be a rope in our bag..." We hurriedly turned all the rope out of the bag.

I have to say that Dragonsea equipped us with enough equipment this time, so it can be said that we have thought about everything big and small.Although this backpack is heavy to carry, it really works when necessary.

Just for the sake of convenience, it is impossible to prepare too much or too long rope, and it is not very thick. The third uncle combined our three strands of rope together, which is only six or seven meters long.

The third uncle said: "Nephew, you said that this place is ten meters from the ground, and the rope is only about seven meters. Then you may have to figure out a way for the remaining three meters."

I nodded: "Let's adapt accordingly. At worst, I'll swim ashore after diving into the water. I don't think the pool is very big."

The third uncle instructed: "If you find any problems on the way, just call twice, and we will pull you up again."

Qian Qingfeng was also very worried, but they were worried, so I pretended to be calm and waved my hands: "Don't worry, all of you. Wait for me to send you a signal."

As I said that, I tied the rope around my waist, and my third uncle and Qian Qingfeng held the other end of the rope.In this way, the distance that allows me to go down is even shorter.

In fact, I knew in my heart that the rope above was only a temporary protection. If I wanted to climb down, I had to rely on the vines hanging from the outside of the cave.

Those tree vines are all hanging from the top of the mountain, either entangled in the trees or rooted, and they are very strong in themselves, and it must be foolproof to hold them down.

I slowly slid to the entrance of the cave in the cave. Uncle San and Qian Qingfeng grabbed the rope and guided me from the inside to the outside. Because of the rope on my waist, I was able to hold the vines tightly with both hands. .

My original intention was to climb these vines and slowly go down to the bottom of the mountain wall.But when I grabbed the vine with my hands, I found that my thoughts were completely wrong.

Because I didn't consider that the trees and vines here have been washed by water all year round, and the surface is very slippery, and I can't grasp them at all.

So my idea of ​​climbing down the vine bit by bit is not going to work.But fortunately, with these vines, I can hold them and slide down.It's just that the rate of decline is much faster.And there is no room for me to make other choices in the middle.

I hug those vines and slide down quickly.This speed caught third uncle and Qian Qingfeng above him a little by surprise.

I only felt the whistling wind blowing past my ears, and my body fell down rapidly.I hugged those vines tightly, trying to slow down the speed of my body's descent.

The distance of six or seven meters slipped down in just a few seconds.

I saw that from inside the cave, the rope also fell.Apparently the rope had come to an end, Third Uncle and the others had to let go.Otherwise, it will be dragged down by me.

I fell further down, but it was that water pool, I don’t know how deep it is, and I don’t know if there are other creatures in it. I desperately wrapped my legs around the tree vines, and grasped those tree vines frantically with both hands.

Finally, there were still many intertwined places between the tree vines, and there were many gaps there. I dug those gaps with my hands, coupled with the strength of my two legs, and finally stabilized my body.But it also caused some damage to my hands and arms, which was extremely painful.

Enduring the pain, I hurriedly found a similar gap with my feet and stepped on it, so that my body was temporarily balanced.

At this time, there was a flashlight shining down from the cave, and I knew that it was the third uncle lighting me up, and I couldn't free up my hands to use the flashlight.

I was getting closer to the water pool, and the flashlight shone on the water pool. There was only a big waterfall at this time, and now there was only a small water curtain, which fell into the pool and turned into waves.

When I saw the waves, my heart was moved. Under the light of the flashlight, why did I feel that the colors of the waves were reddish.

But at this time, my situation does not allow me to think about more things.

I only felt the water vapor rising from the pool, and it was cold.

I first untied the rope tied to my body and tied it to the tree vine.This is to be left for third uncle and Qian Qingfeng to climb when they come down.The length of this rope plus the length of the vines is enough to hang down to the pool below.

I had just finished all this when my foot slipped suddenly, and the place where the two vines I stepped on was suddenly opened due to force.I stepped on the ground, and my body fell uncontrollably to the bottom of the pool.

I was in a hurry to grab the rope and the vines before it was too late.

The person above with the flashlight should be the third uncle. I heard him yell, which was an exclamation about my situation.

Before I had time to react, my body fell heavily into the pool.

Chapter 1444

Fortunately, the backpack I was carrying fell into the water before me, so I didn't suffer a greater impact.

But in an instant, the pool of water covered my face, and I sank into the pool.

Sure enough, as I felt, the water in this pool was freezing cold, and I felt as if I had fallen into a hole in the ice.I was prepared for falling into the water, so after falling into the water, my first reaction was to hold my breath and try to swim to the shore.

But the coldness of the pool was beyond imagination. The moment I fell into the pool, my limbs felt like they were about to cramp.

My heart sank, my water skills are not very good, it can only be considered so-so.In this kind of icy pool, if you have cramps, it is tantamount to a dead end.

But after I sank into the water, I felt my body start to rise rapidly again.

This surprised me, and when my head stuck out of the water, I quickly took a few breaths.At this time, a flashlight came from above, and I quickly stretched out my hand and waved at it.

Although I didn't make any swimming movements, my body was floating on the water. This was an unexpected situation for me.

But it was difficult to control the balance of my body, and I kept lying on the surface of the water.

I soon discovered the reason why I was able to keep floating up from the water.That's because of my backpack.

I know that this backpack is uniformly distributed to us by Dragonsea. I also felt that this backpack is not only waterproof and fireproof, but also has a large capacity.But today, I unexpectedly discovered that this backpack actually has a life-saving function.

After sinking into the water, the backpack inflated quickly, and the strong buoyancy lifted me from the water to the surface.
