C76

The water on both sides of the river is actually live-water, and I'm in a situation where I'm going against the current. If I'm not mistaken, I'm not out of the area where the idol is, and the first time I came here it was a pool of stagnant water. He didn't know what was happening now, but there was actually a current of air?

My left shoulder hurt and I hit the rock hard, then I was forced to turn right, like a steering wheel.

The pain hit my shoulder hard.

The rest of the journey was smooth, except for the sound of water and the sound of me being carried in.

After staying in the water for so long, she still felt quite warm. I couldn't move, so I fell asleep again.

I don't know how long I stayed in sleep when I heard a 'bang'. I immediately saw stars and opened my eyes to find that I was still in the water. The top of my head was in constant pain. I stretched out my hand to touch it, but the shackles on my hand were already gone.

I sat up, drops of water falling off my body, and the temperature dropped again. The water wasn't shallow, I realized, but my face was just above the surface.

Even though it was a little cold, I still shivered as I landed on the shore. I sat down on the rock and there was another loud bang. A black shadow touched his head and sat up, crying out in pain. He was in the water for a long time before he came up. I heard the sound of water, took my flashlight out of my bag and shone it on the wall where I had been knocked into a mess. The water flowed all the way to the wall and passed through it. There were a total of nine holes in three rows and three rows. It must have been used for drainage.

I looked up and saw that we were in a small space. Aside from the direction of the water flow, which was about a meter long, the other corners of the cave were sealed.

The professors from before were all gone, and with just this small room, he definitely wouldn't be able to stay. With the first sober person, there would definitely be a second.

What do I mean when we walk out of this cave, there is an open area outside. I was speechless. I didn't understand why I often saw such large-scale excavation projects, which took so much time and effort.

The stones on the ground were spread evenly, making it seem very safe. His eyes were wide open as he pointed to the few black figures in the distance and said, "They! There he is! "

The few people sitting in the distance were the old professors who had disappeared since yesterday afternoon!

We didn't have time to think about any tricks as we quickly ran over. All of our frozen faces turned purple. This area was precisely sunken in, and the few of them huddled together, leaning on the heat to keep warm. Wei Yuting was among them. She, another female professor, as well as a few other weaker professors were lying there with their eyes closed, unconscious.

I rummaged in my bag and pulled out the hot water, towels, and blankets I'd filled earlier. Under the two blankets that had split my face in two, everyone's expression was much better. Elder Li and Elder Ma sat outside, blocking the cold wind. He was the strongest of the two, and by now he had woken up. He almost punched me in the chest, but he managed to stop himself.

He drank some hot water first, and when it was a little warm, he woke us up. When everyone was out, he put a blanket on us and we went in one by one to keep the cold.

The other blanket covered their bodies, and their expressions became much better. Elder Li was crying as he patted me on the shoulder, "Good boy! Both of them are good! "

These things were obviously not enough. We planned to go back and get something else. We had our watches fixed, so we could go back now. At most, he would just swim back into the water.

Old Li originally wanted to go with us, but he didn't have any diving equipment, so he might as well stay here. What was this all about? They swam toward the dot on my watch.

I had almost fallen asleep when we came here, and I didn't dare relax at all, but it had taken us at least two hours to get here, and now I don't know how long it would take for us to walk the same way.

The only thing that was less disruptive was that as time went on the current began to slow down, at least for now we were no longer going upstream, and we marked the route.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the morning that we got back to camp, exhausted, stuffed our coats, hot water, blankets, etc., and dived into the water again.

If it weren't for the markings and the fixed points on our watches, we'd be a hundred percent lost. There were many forks in the middle, and they all looked the same at a glance. But at least it was here.

We still have antipyretic and cold medicine in our bags. In just a few days, he had almost eaten all of the three boxes of medicine.

The sober professors finally came back to life after eating something. Old Li gnawed on a biscuit and asked how we had found this place.

We told each other about the change of tent. At first, Elder Li was surprised. However, his expression grew more and more serious, and it also became more and more sullen.

Elder Li was silent for a moment, as if he was considering something. Finally, he opened his mouth and said with a dark expression, "I wasn't sure before, but now I know." Someone wants all of us to die here. "

I looked at what it meant, and I was indescribably shocked.

Elder Li took another bite and said fiercely: "I'll tell you guys after I finish eating."

It was so crowded that I couldn't get in at all. I just sat at the door and watched Elder Li eat. My dad was fine. When he saw me previously, he only patted me on the shoulder. He smiled and said that he was fine before falling asleep. I naturally wouldn't disturb him now.

After Elder Li finished gulping down the hot water, he burped and said with a frown: "I had the feeling earlier, but that little girl was also suffering, so I just thought it was both of your luck." But this time, it wasn't luck. Or it could be called that, but this luck is our bad luck. "

"Before I met you, it was just a bunch of rubbish. However, it was not a big thing and the important things were not damaged. But the two things that started with the rattan were a bit wrong. "

"If the three of you hadn't come with us. Then, there will only be one person left to guard this place. "

"You probably didn't realize before that the two of them were tied together, and the ropes around their necks were also tied together, so even if the ropes tightened and made it difficult to breathe, they still wouldn't die."

"But if it's one person... If it was a single person, they would have long died from lack of blood supply due to lack of oxygen. "

Elder Li took a deep breath and said, "I didn't notice it before, but now I know." There is a smell in your tent, and at the bottom and top there is a burnt cow hide mixed with the smell of grass, "Elder Li said." That's why you guys also have it. And that little girl has always been sleeping with us. She was infected with the sweetness from who knows where. "

"Sweet?" I asked in unison.

"Yes," Elder Li nodded. "It smells of sugar. He didn't know what the situation was and where the smell had come from. I didn't feel it before, I only felt the smell of your tent. Because it wasn't a tent, I didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, not long after we entered this place, I had already felt something in the group. I wasn't aware of it at all. I didn't recognize them until they had a fever these two days. " Elder Li said, "It seems that the smell is coming from their bodies. The moment the smell is released, it will evaporate with the sweat."

Why are we looking at each other? Elder Li opened a seat for us to enter. As expected, leaning on his back, Grandpa Li has a sweet smell to him. It smelled like white rabbit milk candy, and also like caramel.

Elder Li had probably never eaten caramel before, so it could only be described as sweet.

Not only Elder Li, there were also several feverish old professors lying beside him. Wei Yuting was lying beside that female professor. The smell of her body was mixed with the burnt fragrance of the beef, and it was very strange to smell it mixed with the sweet smell.

When we left, Elder Li blocked the wind and said, "Anyway …" Sigh … I'm not in a hurry anyway. I'm thinking, should we go out first? Wait until they recover? "

I looked at Elder Li, the old man who had been able to reprimand him for the past two days.

I don't refute it, but if you follow this line of thinking, there is one problem that bothers me.

"The reason you are here, is also for the stone tablet?"

"Monolith?" Elder Li froze for a moment, then shook his head and said, "We came for the documents. We didn't know that the document would be in such a remote place, we thought it would be in China."

"File?!"

"..." Is it for something else? " Elder Li smiled bitterly, "I thought you were from the second tier, here to take over our tasks or come here to study. I didn't expect that in the end, it would be you guys who would help us out."

Elder Li's voice was rather bleak. When I thought back to my father's answer to my question, it made me depressed. My father did it for the stone monument, while the other professors didn't?

I wanted to rush up and shake my dad awake, scratch him and ask him what the hell was going on. Furthermore, there are too many people here. I am really afraid that my father will be beaten to death.

I had my suspicions before, but it turned out that I had been with him for more than twenty years after all. If my eyesight isn't as good as yours, then I'm really unfilial. I've always believed this is my dad, and I'm sure of it now. But now the doubt was back, and now the doubt was changing.

I can't hold on to my thoughts. I just want to find a quiet place to sort them out.

Elder Li was chatting with something else as he waved his hand, "I signed a secret agreement …" Sigh, I originally thought that you guys had signed an agreement. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't even have said the word 'document' out loud! "

What was so frustrating about it? "We are as well …"

By the afternoon, most of the people were almost recovered. Since Elder Li and I are staying here, why did we bring the strong ones to rest first, or to bring more diving equipment or other things over?

In other words, he was preparing to move his nest bit by bit. It's obviously not safe over there,

I do not comment on this point. Since we were transported here, at least there is something that we should be wary of. We can't rule out the fact that we have to take action in the middle of the night just to let them freeze to death here, and this place is relatively safe.

It's no use talking about it. Bring me and my tent and some food and clothes over here. That's what I said before. If there's a smell on the clothes, then I'm determined not to come over.

Elder Li suddenly walked over and said to me, "The stone tablet you are looking for, is it a stone tablet with Maya characters written on it?"

I was shocked and immediately stabilized my expression and said, "Didn't you say that we signed the terms of the secret agreement?" Pfft. "Elder Li patted me on the shoulder." Don't pretend. " His expression became solemn, "The ones who just left were all physically stronger, and the ones that are left are truly sick. I won't hide it now. Let me tell you, the document we are looking for is written in foreign language, but I have seen the beginning of the copy, and it says' Report on the Monument of the Ancient Maya Region '. The person reporting it is a foreign man, and I don't remember the name, but I remember that there is a separate letter in the middle,' N ', do you have any impression of it? "

I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. I knew a lot of foreign men, like John, like Ike, like Achilles, like Suriyawong, or even the dead pre-package user I'd only seen pictures of.

A dead man? Blonde hair and blue eyes? A ruined certificate?

My mind flips and I secretly laugh at myself for being so self-righteous. There are too many staff members in the water.

"Since there's a copy, why …?"

"Copies are different from components." Elder Li shook his head. "The most important thing is that it is said that there is something attached to the last page of the components. That is the most important and most valuable thing."

"That means our priorities are about the same," I said. "How about this? "If we move together, we can look out for each other." "Swish!" Elder Li waved his hand and winked, "Wait for them to come back, I want to show you something."

He closed his eyes and began to rest. No matter how hard I tried to scratch my lungs, I wouldn't feel good. I was also very tired, so I squeezed in a lot of empty space and closed my eyes to sleep for a while.

Since I can see them when they come back. Then he wouldn't be in a hurry, would he?

I don't know how long I slept for, but when I woke up, Elder Li seemed to have completely forgotten what I said just now. I know that he was worried, so I naturally wouldn't foolishly raise it up.

We moved everyone into the tent so that we could let out a long breath.
