Chapter 41 Desperate Emotions

The underground water system is well developed, like a maze.Soon we came to the confluence of this river and another.Su Genliang stood there, watching the boy busy.For a while, he touched the wall and moss, and for a while, he stretched out his hand to feel the wind.He also asked Su Genliang to hold the night pearl so that he could observe the direction of the river, and finally decided to turn right.

For the next few intersections, the teens also make choices through surveys, but make a difficult decision at the next intersection.

Su Genliang saw that the young man had no order, so he sat cross-legged next to him.The young man thought for a while, hesitated again and again.He still can't make up his mind.

He looked around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm..." The boy still hesitated. "Bat guano was found on the road on the left. Although the weather is dry, there is moss on the road on the right. Both sides are very similar to the road near the exit. I don't know how to choose."

"Is there a way out for both sides?" Su Genliang didn't quite understand, but he offered a new idea.

Standing there, feeling the wind, the teenager shook his head, remembering that they were in the dark, and said, "It's not like that."

"Can we go first, and come back when we can't go?"

"The road goes in all directions. Who knows if it will come back."

Su Genliang said: "Then choose moss. Bats may have entered here by accident, or moss is safer, isn't it?"

The boy agreed and continued to walk down.

The lighting range of the night pearl is limited.Su Genliang walked and found the young man in front screaming.Then, the soft light spot of the night pearl fell and disappeared.

"what…".Su Genliang squatted down and touched forward.He found a big hole and heard the boy's voice in pain.

He didn't dare to shout loudly, so he approached the hole and shouted down: "Are you hurt? Can you stand up?"

The boy touched the glowing beads that had rolled aside, and lifted them up.He found that although the hole was small, it was very deep.It appears to be another layer of the underground river.He tried to stand up, trying to find his way back to the upper floor.After all, the upper floors feel that they will soon reach the exit.

"Shh..." The pain in his ankle made him gasp, "I sprained my foot."

"Oh, then I'll go down?" Su Genliang thought about getting down,
"If you walk along this road for a while, you should be able to reach the exit." The boy didn't know if he could go out from this floor, but he still didn't want to lie to his savior. "Why don't you go get someone back?"

"There are so many branches in the underground river," Su Genliang shrank his shoulders and slowly "slid" down from the hole. "If I go out, I may not find anyone, let alone you. Let's go together."

The boy was silent for a while, and said: "Uncle, carry me out. Don't worry, I will take you out."

In the long, dark corridor, there was only the sound of the Heihe River flowing, and the footsteps of the two became one.Time is passing, and physical strength is slowly recovering.What's more, hopelessness is gradually suppressed by feelings of desperation.

When he fell from the place he was about to step out of, the young man's original self-confidence also dropped by half.His sprained foot hurt at first, but now he can't feel it.Although Su Genliang is a mature man, he is carrying such a big boy on his back.At this time, his legs were sore and his breathing was heavy.

"Uncle", the boy's voice sounded tired, "Let's take a rest."

Su Genliang didn't answer, but slowly put him down along the wall.For a moment, the only sound in the corridor was the breathing of two people.
