There was nothing all the way, when I drove to Qishui Cliff, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning.
We did not delay at the destination, but acted according to the plan immediately. A green vine rope was tied to the tree trunk on the edge of Qishui Cliff. After confirming that it was firm, Ma Biao first followed the rope to the bottom of the cliff.
The bottom of the cliff is deeper than we thought before. It is 100 meters long. Fortunately, Ma Biao had a very predictable night without sleeping and weaving some green vines. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time to make up for this. Mistakes.
It took nearly 20 minutes for Ma Biao to get down to the bottom of the cliff. He met from below. I first transported the chemicals in white plastic buckets to the bottom, and then sent the equipment and food to the bottom of the cliff. When the necessary things were delivered, I followed the green vines to the bottom of the cliff alone.
Because of my waist injury, Ma Biao was very loving. He specially prepared a piece of equipment similar to the triangle "pants" for me. There is also a very wide belt at the waist. There is a snap ring on the belt, which can just be stuck in the green. Fujisami, with this simple and effective device, not only does not need to use waist and abdomen to get down to the bottom of the cliff, but also very labor-saving and time-saving.
I went down to the bottom of the cliff, Ma Biao had put the white bucket with chemicals aside, and covered it with weeds. The purpose of this is simple, because it is impossible for us to carry chemicals around. If Officer Liu shows up and takes the chemicals away when we leave, the gain will not be worth the loss.
But I was still afraid of being unsafe, and rammed two small plastic buckets into my backpack. In this way, even if the remaining chemicals were found by Police Officer Liu, they would not be able to be used due to lack of variety.
The black river squirmed slowly not far under our feet. I walked to the river to check, because I didn’t dare to touch it easily, but stirred it with branches. The river water was as thick as black mud without any peculiar smell. Dip a little with your finger and rub it on your fingertips. It is very smooth and delicate without any impurities.
"What do you think it is?" Ma Biao asked, standing behind me.
I can't give an answer, but as a good person, I can't directly say that I don't know, so I stood up and said, "It looks like a certain mineral, but it's hard to say what it is."
Ma Biao was thoughtful and asked after a while: "I
Where should we go first? "
There are only two ways to go before us, either going upstream along the Qishui River, or going downstream along the Qishui River. On the surface it is very simple, but in fact it is the most difficult to make a decision, because once we choose the wrong path, we will go completely in the opposite direction.
How to choose? If Ma Biao is not around, I might choose to toss a coin to decide which direction to choose.
I pondered for a moment and said, "Go northeast and walk up the Qishui River."
"Okay. Listen to you!"
I chose to walk up to the Qishui River, which is somewhat of a thought, because I think that no matter what the Qishui River is, since it can be mixed into something like mud, it must be stirred with the water. People cannot live without water. If Officer Liu and someone have been living at the bottom of a cliff, they would definitely choose a place close to the water source.
Of course, I also know that a person with weird movements like Officer Liu cannot use common sense to infer, but there is no way, I am just an ordinary person, I don’t understand feng shui, nor the five elements gossip.
Ma Biao walked in front carrying a large bag, and I followed behind with a small bag. The two of them used knives to poke the weeds and shrubs in the corners from time to time to see if there were hidden caves. At first, we walked very fast, but later became slower and slower, because the channel of the Qishui River is constantly widening, making the road we can pass narrower and narrower.
Although I have checked the Qishui River, except that it is not like a river, there is nothing weird about it, but what the nature of the river is, how deep it is below it, and whether it will swallow us like a swamp, is unknown. , So the farther away from it, the better.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the bottom of the cliff became gloomy. Looking up, there was still bright sunlight on the upper part of the cliff.
This shows that the sun has already begun to set, and the dark period will be entered early before the dark water cliff.
Ma Biao asked: "Are we going in the wrong direction?"
I said: “It’s too early to draw a conclusion, because we don’t know where she came from the bottom of the cliff. She walks on it much faster than us. She walks on the top of the cliff for an hour, and we have to walk at least Two hours. According to her walk for four hours, we are only halfway there. I
We walked forward for a few hours, and if we haven't found it, we will return. "
Ma Biao nodded his head, then looked at the time and added: "At ten o'clock, if we haven't found it before ten o'clock, we will return." He took out the bread and water from his backpack and handed it to me, saying, "Eat first. Order something, we don’t seem to have dinner at noon."
After he reminded me, I remembered that we did not eat at noon and we were really hungry. Taking the bread he handed over, I sat on a rock and said, "Your squeezing technique is really good. After walking so long today, my waist is okay."
Ma Biao took a sip of water and said, "It's okay. My dad is an orthopedic doctor. He has learned a lot from his childhood, and he has also come in handy when he is in the army."
"Then why don't you open an orthopedic clinic? Eat by craftsmanship."
Ma Biao smiled and said, "I am not interested in bone setting."
Suddenly, the smile on his face froze, and my eyes were looking straight forward, and I hurriedly turned my head and followed his gaze. An erythema appeared on the cliff on the opposite bank of the river thirty or forty meters in front of us, and the erythema was spreading and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, very strange.
I stood up abruptly, and asked silently, "What is that?"
Ma Biao also stood up and walked forward without even caring about the backpack. I also picked up the waist knife and hurriedly followed up.
Standing by the river and looking at the cliff on the opposite bank, the huge red spot was as bright as blood, reflecting the red of the dark river surface, and it was still spreading in all directions, and soon there were more than a dozen squares. If Listen carefully and even hear the rustling sound of hundreds of millions of ants running wild.
But because they were too far apart, it was impossible to see exactly what the spreading erythema was. But soon, our attention shifted from the other side to behind, because there was also a slight rustling behind us.
I turned my head violently, couldn't help but back up, and almost stepped directly into the dark mud river in shock.
A piece of redness appeared on the originally dark and bald cliff. I can really feel that the piece of redness, like blood dripping on the paper, is expanding rapidly, and it looks like a blood basin is getting bigger and bigger!
Rustle... rustle...
Expansion rapidly!
