In fact, there were really things under the water, but they were not monsters, but fish, very big fish that were not afraid of people at all.
The little boy was frightened by the fishes flying around him, so he struggled desperately.
Losing one's mind due to fear and becoming hysterical is really a headache.
Zhao Wei took great effort to pull the man onto the python.
The guy finally felt at ease at home, and his panicked mood calmed down a little.
"Rest here for a while and swim back to the raft by yourself. A few fish scared you like this. Tsk tsk... You need more practice."
After saying that, Zhao Wei dived into the water and happily started to catch the fish.
These fish live in darkness all year round and have extremely poor eyesight.
And they have no natural enemies, and they grow extremely fat, with each one weighing thirty to fifty kilograms.
When Zhao Wei put a big fish on the raft, everyone realized that they had made a fuss out of nothing.
One person was left on the raft, and the rest of them went into the water and started fishing.
There are so many fish that it takes almost no effort to catch one.
Soon, there were dozens of fish on the raft, and there was almost no place for people to step.
In the end, they simply held on to the raft and swam in the water, leaving only one person on the raft to control the general direction.
The second child swam to the crowd in a dejected manner. Fortunately, everyone was kind and no one made fun of him.
It is human nature to be afraid of things we don't know.
If the fish had jumped onto them at that time, they would probably not be much better off than Erxiao.
Keep moving forward and take advantage of the situation.
I didn't know how long I swam in the dark before I heard the man rowing the raft shout.
"I'm almost out of the cave. I see light."
…
"What? Really? Thank God, it's great!"
"Hahahaha...we are finally saved!"
…
Zhao Wei also smiled along with everyone else. He also felt a breeze blowing in. It seemed that the harvest this time was quite great.
But no one knows where this underground river will eventually flow.
It feels like there is no river flowing around Elm Tree Dun.
Although the water flow in that river is also quite strong, the water in this cave is even stronger. If there really is such a large river passing through the village, I am afraid that many crops will be flooded.
When they finally saw daylight, everyone felt as if they had survived a calamity. Their emotions, which had hit rock bottom, began to rise upwards, and they only wished they could let out a long roar to the sky to vent their emotions.
After the river came out of the cave, there was a drop in the water and the current became somewhat turbulent.
The raft moved a little faster.
After another half an hour of bumpy ride, the group felt the water flow slow down, and they actually came to a very deep cold pool.
No one had ever been to this place before. Looking at so many fish and snake meat, they were once again in trouble.
Zhao Wei carefully checked the surrounding environment and said to them, "You wait here first. I will go back to the village to call someone."
Everyone was reluctant to abandon the prey, so they could only pick up their axes and guard it carefully.
Zhao Wei first climbed up the tallest tree and looked at the surrounding terrain.
Then he looked at the sun again, observed the shade of the trees, and finally chose to leave in the southeast direction.
It took them half a day to get there. The young men built a fire on the shore and ate barbecue. Although they were not starving, they were very nervous, fearing that they would be attacked by some blind wild beasts.
But perhaps God saw that their journey was not easy, so he did not cause them any trouble.
I just felt uneasy, not sure whether Zhao Wei could come back to save them.
They waited until the middle of the night. The cold wind from the cold pond was still quite chilly, causing several people to huddle together and doze off.
I don’t know whose ears were better, but he suddenly heard some noise and sat up abruptly.
Sometimes he stood up and looked, sometimes he lay down on the ground and listened.
Several people were frightened by him and yawned, "Erxiao, what are you doing again? It's so quiet around here, you should just take a rest and stop making trouble!"
Erxiao said excitedly to everyone: "Listen to me, don't fall asleep, I really heard footsteps."
"Besides, I just heard someone shouting in the wind. Someone must be coming..."
"Except for our president, no one would go out so late at night. We will be home soon!"
…
Although everyone still felt that it was unlikely, they did not say anything to protest.
They want to go home more than anyone else!
This day outside was more exciting than all the days they had experienced in the past years combined.
As they waited anxiously, they saw countless flames.
At first they were a little afraid that they were people from other villages, until they heard clearly that the villagers were calling their voices, and then they excitedly responded loudly.
Several people hugged each other, jumped and shouted, cheering for such good fortune.
Soon, the villagers and Zhao Wei appeared beside the cold pond.
There were fifty people in total.
When they saw what they had reaped from this trip, they were all a little stunned.
Such a huge harvest is really enviable.
The people who followed were excited and envious, and some even wanted to cry.
That is regrettable.
If they had known that following Zhao Wei on this adventure would provide them with endless meat to eat, they would never have gone down the mountain.
It's too late to say anything now. They can only stare blankly and get nothing.
Zhao Wei could naturally see these people's emotions.
So he said to them, "It will be dawn in two hours. If you are not in a hurry to go back, I can take you to the cave to catch fish."
"It's up to you how many you can catch. What do you think?"
When the few people saw that they were fine, they confirmed that although the journey was difficult, there was no major danger. Naturally, they wanted to eat fish very much and nodded desperately.
"Erxiao, you guys stay here and wait. I'll take everyone for a walk and come back after daybreak. Is that okay with you?"
None of them knew the way back to the village, and they couldn't take away so much of the harvest, so they had to wait.
…
They waited until noon, and the people in Yushudun were almost going crazy.
Zhao Wei came back in the middle of the night, banging the gongs and drums loudly. He took so many people away, but it had been so long and he still hadn't brought them back.
So, everyone ran to the gate of Zhang's courtyard and squatted, stood, and walked back and forth.
Anxiety permeated the village, and everyone looked sad.
Yunxiu also knew that they were anxious, so she took the trouble to boil water for everyone and added some sugar to ease the tense atmosphere.
