"Waaah..." Sanya and Chen Nong continued to wail.
Chen Laosi hugged them tightly and comforted them, "It's alright, it's alright, your fourth uncle is here, don't be afraid, your fourth uncle will protect you."
Chen Shi also said, "It's alright, it's alright. There are so many people outside, they will definitely rescue us."
Sanya and Chen Nong were indeed terrified, trembling and crying incessantly.
Old Chen continued to coax, "Don't cry, we're alright now."
Sanya and Chen Nong cried for a while longer before stopping, but they were still hiccuping intermittently.
Chen Laosi tried to shout upwards, but there was no response. They couldn't hear any voices from above either; all they could hear were their own echoes. It seemed they had fallen into a pretty deep pit.
Chen Shi said, "Fourth Uncle, we might have fallen to the bottom of the mountain. It's too high up there, they can't hear us."
Chen Laosi asked, "Hmm, are you cold?"
Sanya sobbed, "It's not cold."
Chen Laosi said, "Let's feel around nearby and see if there's a bank or a big rock. Let's go up first."
The water at the bottom of the pit was much colder than outside, and he was worried that everyone would catch a cold if they soaked in it for too long.
Above, Chen Kai saw that they had almost finished dismantling a fishing net and asked, "Did you bring a tinderbox?"
Zhou Kai and the others shook their heads.
Er Ya wiped away her tears and said, "I brought it."
Chen Kai said, "Take the tinderbox down there and dismantle all the fishing nets. One net might not be enough."
Zhou Yu used a stick to clear away the grass around the edge of the pit and discovered that it was really big, with a diameter of six or seven meters.
A tree grows at the edge of the cave entrance, its branches and leaves so thick that they completely block the entrance. The tree is quite old, and some flowers and grasses grow on its branches. If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for a clump of grass.
This was a natural pitfall, and no one can be blamed but Chen Shi himself was just incredibly unlucky.
"This pit is huge!" Zhou Yu exclaimed.
Chen Laowu said irritably, "This pit is really deadly!"
After the fishing net was dismantled, Chen Laowu tested the rope's strength and found it to be adequate. He then tied the rope around himself, had Zhou Kai and the others hold onto it, and slowly lowered himself down.
Seeing his fifth brother go down, Chen Kai said to Zhou Kai, "Zhou Kai, get a hemp rope, tie it to a big bamboo basket, and lower me down."
Zhou Kai said, "No, little cousin, you can't go down!"
Da Ya also advised, "Uncle, be good, it's very dangerous down there. Don't go down. Fourth Uncle and the others will be rescued soon."
Chen Kai sighed helplessly and had no choice but to give up.
Chen Kai said, "Zhou Kai, then just lower a big bamboo basket down and let Sanya sit on it as she's hoisted up."
Zhou Kai nodded and said, "Okay!"
I wonder how Chen Nong and the others are doing; they must be terrified.
At this moment, Zhou Yu and another boy hurriedly ran back.
"Oh no! Oh no! A group of monkeys have stolen our bamboo raft!" Zhou Yu said anxiously.
Another boy said angrily, "There were so many monkeys. When we rushed over, we saw them carrying the last bamboo raft."
Zhou Kai angrily cursed, "These damned monkeys."
Zhou Yu continued, "The big water bird we caught is also gone."
Da Ya and the others were so angry they wanted to fight the monkeys, but Chen Kai quickly stopped them, saying, "Don't provoke the monkeys yet. Let's rescue San Ya and the others first."
Alas! They really have one misfortune after another!
At the bottom of the pit, Chen Laosi and his group groped around for a while and finally found a large rock, which they then climbed up.
Because it was so dark and they couldn't see anything, Sanya and Chen Nong were a little scared in the unfamiliar environment. They kept snuggling into Chen Laosi's arms, and Chen Shi also nestled against Chen Laosi.
Old Chen gently patted Sanya and Chen Nong on the back, coaxing them, "It's alright, don't be afraid!"
Chen Shi asked, "Fourth Uncle, are you scared?"
Chen Laosi said, "What am I afraid of? Your fourth uncle is very strong. I've hardly ever lost a fight."
Sanya and Chen Nong immediately regained their sense of security and excitedly said, "Yes, Fourth Uncle is amazing!"
With their fourth uncle around, they weren't afraid.
Suddenly, Chen Laowu's shouts rang out.
"Fourth Brother! Chen Shi! Chen Nong! Sanya!"
Sanya shouted happily, "Fifth Uncle, we're here!"
Old Chen shouted, "We're fine, there's a big pool of water down there."
Before long, they saw the light that Chen Laowu was holding.
Chen Nong excitedly shouted, "Fifth Uncle! Fifth Uncle!"
After Chen Laowu came down, Chen Laosi swam over and took the tinder, while Chen Laowu untied the rope around his waist.
With the light, Chen Laosi and the others could see their surroundings clearly. Chen Nong exclaimed in shock, "What a huge cave!"
The pool was already quite large, but there were also many caves around it. It was really huge!
Chen Laosi and Chen Laowu were also surprised, not expecting there to be such a large cave at the bottom of the mountain.
Sanya exclaimed in surprise, "Look, those stones look so strange!"
Chen Nong said excitedly, "Let's swim over and take a look!" Now that there was light, he was no longer afraid and wanted to explore the place.
Chen Laosi said, "Let's come back another time. Let's go up first; the people up there must be getting impatient!"
"Come on, Sanya, you go up first, be careful."
Just now, a large bamboo basket was thrown down from above. After Sanya tied hemp rope around her body, she sat in the basket and was hoisted up.
Then, Chen Nong and the others were pulled up one by one in turn.
After Chen Laosi and the others came up safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Chen shouted, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain first!"
Daya asked, "Fourth Uncle, aren't we going to go find the monkey?"
Chen Laosi said, "You guys stay down the mountain while we go get the bamboo raft. It's too dangerous up here, so it's better for you to stay down here. If anything happens, just hide in the water."
They've gone too far, and there's no one else around; they're on their own now.
Suddenly, Chen Nong shouted in surprise, "The big bad bird is here!"
When they looked up, they saw the large bird that they had just caught but had escaped. The bird was circling above them.
Chen Laosi said, "It might be here for revenge. Let's be careful!"
No sooner had Chen Laosi finished speaking than the accident occurred.
*Smack!*
Everyone suddenly fell silent, suppressing their laughter.
Chen Shi pointed at the bird in the sky and angrily cursed, "You stinky bird, come down here if you dare, or I'll kill you."
Chen Shi was furious; that guy actually dared to poop on his head.
That's right, besides using its big mouth to clamp people's heads, it will also poop on your head.
