Chapter 137 Falling into the Swamp, Mud Room

It's only three steps, but I feel like I'm on the battlefield, my heart "thumps" in my chest, the first step, I step on it smoothly, I feel a little loose under my feet, but I still hold on, and the back of my neck feels cold , I looked back at Tao Ran, she had been staring at my feet, I felt warm, turned around, and suddenly thought of what Tao Ran had said.

"In Xiangxi there is a saying about black witches and white witches. There is a swamp in the ghost mountain. It is said that it used to be a place where black wizards practiced magic.

Therefore, Tao Ran may not be safe outside!

I was startled, and immediately looked back at Tao Ran, she said solemnly: "Why, have you changed your mind?"

"No, you're not safe outside, be careful." I was naturally serious: "The sound of wind blowing can disturb people's mind and make people automatically walk into the swamp."

Tao Ran's face twitched, and he agreed in a muffled voice. With the idea of ​​a quick fight, I moved forward quickly. The little spider had already climbed on the blood rainweed, and I quickly moved towards the second piece floating on the surface of the swamp. I jumped to the stone, and the moment I fell, I felt my feet shaking. My god, fortunately, it was just a little tilted, and it stabilized immediately. Now it is only the last step. I dare not stop, and I will immediately move towards the third In this way, as long as I stretch out my hand, I can hook the grass. As soon as I settled down, I immediately stretched out and hooked the grass, and pulled it hard, and the whole grass was pulled out by me. The little spider on the top, the little guy is very excited to spin on the blade, it seems to help me celebrate.

The excitement has not yet passed, I suddenly felt that the tight rope behind me was loose, and when I was right, I heard the sound of "rustling", the sound of the wind!I immediately looked at Tao Ran, and saw her eyes widen suddenly, her eyelids rolled up, the rope in her hand was loosened immediately, the rope twitched forward, and then fell to the ground!

Worse, I stuffed the grass into my clothes and ran back quickly. Tao Ran had already stuck one foot into the swamp. I just watched her calf sink into the swamp. She even lifted the other One foot and ready to walk in!

"Damn it, Tao Ran, wake up!" I ran towards Tao Ran, but my body was in the air, and the stones under my feet fell apart!

My heart tightened, and I flew out, like a dragonfly touching water. I could fly on the grass, and my upper body lay on the solid ground. I didn't care about the pain. My left hand strangled Tao Ran's neck. This was also a helpless move. , except for the area above the neck, the rest of the place was sunk, "Tao Ran!" I grabbed the rope scattered on the ground indiscriminately, and dragged it into the mud. At first, Tao Ran's eyelids were rolled up, only the whites of her eyes were exposed, her teeth were clenched tightly, her jaw was still trembling...

"Tao Ran, hold on." After confirming that the rope was tied tightly, I loosened Tao Ran's neck. I used too much force. There was an obvious red mark on Tao Ran's neck. I didn't care too much. I started to climb up to the shore, and then dragged the rope. I just stood on the ground with my feet, and my legs were still a little soft. A gust of wind blew on my face, and suddenly my eyes were blank!
I don't know what it feels like when the electric current passes through the human body. Maybe it's the feeling now. The whole body suddenly cannot move, and the body is numb. The most important thing is that although the brain is awake, the body begins to be out of control. Earplugs, at this moment I suddenly Thinking of the pair of earplugs that Tao Ran prepared, it was clearly prepared, why didn't we use it?
I felt myself stepping back, step by step, the rope in my hand began to fall off, a thought suddenly crossed my mind, thinking of Tao Ran, I tried my best to hold the rope firmly in my hand, that was just my own meaning The "prison" on the top, when I feel that my body is slowly submerged, it is too late...

There was a sound of "gudong" in my ears, and the mud began to fall, and kept pouring up, reaching up to my chest. I was still holding on to the rope, trying to speak, but the wind was howling, and my mind was blank again. One piece, at this time, the phenomenon of ghost horse lanterns suddenly appeared. It is said that before a person dies, all kinds of things during his life will flash in his mind like a revolving lantern. Grandpa's kind face, father's meaningful smile before he died, and Meng Luo, who was wearing a white shirt with a face like paper, the shrewd and thin old nine, Hua Ji with a beautiful face, and finally a vague shadow, why, ghost Shouldn't the people or things that appear in the lantern be people or things that have appeared in life before?

I was plunged into darkness, I could feel my body moving down slowly, before the last trace of sobriety disappeared, I wrapped the rope around my wrist, and let my body fall little by little...

In the dark, I felt that someone was pulling my hand. I shrugged and opened my eyes in a daze. It was cold, and my whole body was numb. My whole body was as hard as a piece of wood, and my whole body was covered with mud. Clinging tightly to the body, it was dry, and the whole body was about to crack...

He couldn't move his body, his lips seemed to be glued together: "Tao, Tao Ran..."

My lips barely moved, the mud covering my lips split and fell off, my face was so tense, the rope on my wrist was still there, and the mud near the rope also fell, my senses were particularly sensitive in the dark, finally, I struggled When I opened my eyes, I saw darkness, and I shook my arms lightly. There was a response from the other end of the rope, and I called out again: "Tao Ran, are you okay?"

"Where are we?" Tao Ran's weak voice came, and my heart fell immediately. Hearing her voice and the burning pain from my body, I was sure that I was not dead, and Tao Ran was alive, but, Where are we?
I took a deep breath and sat up abruptly, thankfully I still had the backpack on my body. The moment I sat up, the dried mud cracked and I heard a crisp "pop" sound, just like the backpack released during the Spring Festival. Like firecrackers, my legs were so heavy, I groped to peel off the mud on my legs, and moved carefully, pulling the rope with one hand, to judge Tao Ran's position, Tao Ran's voice didn't sound very good, finally, I Touching the stiff mud layer, I felt Tao Ran's breath: "Tao Ran!"

"I can't move anymore." Tao Ran said weakly, "My back hurts."

"Wait a minute." I clearly felt that my lips were split and blood was gushing out. I fumbled in my backpack and finally took out the flashlight. When the faint light shone in the dark night, it was like seeing a bright light. , I looked around, we are now in a space above the wall, there is a brazier on the wall!
Although my eyes were blurred, I vaguely saw the brazier, so I put the flashlight into Tao Ran's hand: "I'll go light the brazier, Tao Ran, hold on for a while."

Dragging my heavy legs, I struggled to get to the wall. I immediately leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. Only a few meters away, it was like running a marathon. With the faint light of a flashlight, I lit The brazier, the moment the fire rushed up, I seemed to see a lot of golden stars shining in front of my eyes, and my body slid uncontrollably along the wall and fell to the ground. Water, I want to drink water, and I struggled to take out the kettle in my backpack. There was only half a jug of water, and I drank a few sips, then I crawled over and dripped water on Tao Ran's withered lips: "Don't swallow it, just let it flow down, how do you feel now?"

"Okay, it's much better." Tao Ran cried out in pain, and I asked with concern, "Where does it hurt?"

"Back, my back is burning hot." Tao Ran said, "I can't move because of the weight. Lin Tianyi, are we still alive?"

"Well, it's not dead." Tao Ran's hair was all in a bunch, covered with mud, and I suddenly thought of the little spider: "Too bad, the little spider didn't see it."

When I was wandering, the little spider got out of Tao Ran's backpack, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The strange thing is that just now I regarded the little spider as a living person, and I was very worried about its disappearance. This change of mood is really strange. The little spider climbed onto Tao Ran's head, and fiddled with Tao Ran's crusted hair with its claws. I immediately peeled off the mud shell on Tao Ran's body. After a few sips, he finally regained his spirit: "Where are we?"

"We slipped in from the swamp." I smiled wryly, "I can't remember the scene after slipping into the swamp. I was already here when I woke up."

"Me too, I just felt that something was hit in the middle." Tao Ran's hand touched her back carefully, because her arm was stiff, there was no way to touch it, and her face had no blood at all. It was the first time that Tao Ran was so pale and weak. See it once.

I turned around: "Take off your clothes and let me check it, don't worry, I only look at your back."

Tao Ran hesitated, and I said angrily, "You are just a companion to me now, not a woman."

Tao Ran finally started. Listening to the careful movements behind her and her forced breathing, my heart was pounding. She has always been strong, and the injury must have been serious. Finally, Tao Ran said: "It's done."

I turned around and saw that she had covered her chest with her clothes, only her back was exposed, and the edge of her back was still stained with a lot of mud. The rest of the area should have been white and clean, but now it was bruised and purple, mainly concentrated on the vest. , It was caused by a violent impact. I quickly searched in the backpack. Every time I went out, Lao Jiu would tell me to bring some medicines. Finally, I found those routine medicines at the bottom of the backpack. My hands were not very flexible. After finally taking out the medicine, with a shake of her hand, there was too much medicine powder, and it was poured all over her back.

The medicine has curative effects. Tao Ran's body is shivering. One is the cold, and the other is because of the stimulating effect of the medicine powder. This is a good medicine for trauma. The prescriptions are all Chinese secrets. She treated the wound, and immediately turned around: "Put on your clothes."

Tao Ran said, "Thank you very much."
