Chapter 153: Stay in the Water



The time was pressing, and Yingchun's footsteps were getting closer and closer to the door, so Yunwen whispered in my ear as briefly as possible: "We have to go down and listen to what the wooden man said. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."

I didn't quite understand, but after thinking about it, I roughly understood what she meant. The people from the Milong Camp deliberately left a wooden man under the abyss. It is impossible that it was just to say what the Song sisters mentioned. Such a complicated craft was just used to tell future generations a bunch of old stories? Wouldn't it be easy to leave some text? Why use a wooden man to relay it?

Therefore, there seems to be something strange here. The wooden man relayed two versions to Bailu and Yingchun, which means that the poisonous miasma affected the sisters' nerves, which may have caused hallucinations and visions, so they heard two versions. Therefore, what they heard was not objective. Since it is not objective, it is not objective reality. They both heard it wrong. The reason for the wrong hearing is that the truth was concealed by the influence of the poisonous miasma.

The more you try to cover up, the more obvious it becomes. The more you try to cover up, the more we need the content. Simply put, the setting of the wooden man could not be just to tell a story. It is set under the abyss, and the story must be related to how to prevent and crack the poisonous miasma in the abyss, just like bat feces (night-shining sand) can cure malaria left by bats.

The poisonous miasma is in the abyss, and its solution must also be in the abyss!

I was just thinking about it for a moment when Yingchun suddenly burst out of the door and shouted like a pig being slaughtered: "What are you two whispering about? Are you secretly dating behind my back again? I will beat you to death, you two dogs!"

After saying that, she immediately hit me with the rolling pin in her hand. I blocked it a few times and felt numbness and pain in my hands, but her attacks were random and I didn't know how to catch her for a moment. At this moment, Yunwen suddenly pushed me away. I turned around and saw that Bailu had appeared at some point. Her heavy stick hit Yunwen on the head, but then she looked horrified and immediately dropped the stick on the ground, at a loss.

Yunwen screamed and covered her bleeding head. The blood spread from the top of her head, forming a terrifying scarlet dividing line, staining her pretty face red.

I rushed over and grabbed Bailu, endured Yingchun's blow again, grabbed her clothes, and threw the two sisters into the water!

Protecting Yunwen, he shouted, "Can you two look at what you are doing? Beating people is fun, right? Look at what you look like now. Are you still normal people?"

The two sisters staggered to their feet in the water, soaking wet. But perhaps because of the choking and cold water, they sobered up a little. Bai Lu coughed a few times and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhou Bo, I don't know why, but I thought you were going to kill my sister, so I wanted to stop you."

"You call this stopping? If you use more force, Yunwen will die immediately. Even if it is self-defense, is it too much? You clearly want to kill someone!" I scolded.

The two sisters stood in the water, their expressions and eyes seemed to be much more normal. Yingchun also threw down the weapon in her hand, looking a little lost. She held her head and shook it, saying, "Why did I hold that just now?"

"Don't play dumb! You've swung my arm until it's bruised, and now you ask why I took that." I said.

The Song sisters didn't dare to speak for a moment and could only hide in the water, not daring to come out.

At this time, Yunwen held her head to prevent the blood from continuing to flow, and said to me weakly: "Zhou Bo, don't rush to scold, you see they seem to be much better in the water, maybe this spring water can help relieve the pain."

Yunwen was very careful and noticed the key points immediately.

"Brother Zhou Bo, I'm sorry. I feel like I can't control myself often recently. I may have been affected by the things in the abyss. I'm really sorry. I'm willing to accept any punishment you have. I remember everything I have done during this period, and I should be responsible for what I have done. But please give me and Yingchun another chance." Bai Lu said.

"Sister Bailu, you are sick, don't blame yourself too much." Yunwen comforted her.

"Sister Yunwen, I'm sorry. I didn't use enough force on you. I'll get you some medicine to apply." Bai Lu said, and then she was about to go ashore, and Yingchun followed her.

"Stop!" I yelled.

Bai Lu was frightened, but when she saw that I was serious, she retreated back into the water and waited for my decision.

I noticed that Bailu's expression and brows were almost the same as a week ago. In addition, I observed Yingchun's walking posture in the water. It was not like recently, as if her legs were heavy, and her steps were slow and sluggish. From this, I can feel that the spring water does have an inhibitory effect on them.

"Bai Lu, Ying Chun, listen carefully. You must stay in the spring pool today. You are not allowed to come out without my order. I will ask Yunwen to prepare the food and bring it to you. You can eat there after finding a piece of driftwood. You can only come up when I tell you to. Otherwise, don't blame Yunwen and me for wasting food and for attacking us. Don't blame me and Yunwen for abandoning you then. Do you understand?" I said.

"Staying in the water for the whole day? It's getting cold. Brother Zhou Bo, this punishment is too severe. Can you change to a lighter one?" Song Yingchun said.

"Shh! This is considered a light punishment, sister. You wanted to strangle Brother Zhou Bo to death several times. Just staying in the water is already very good. Brother Zhou Bo, we are willing to accept the punishment, but what about Sister Yunwen's head injury?" Bai Lu was still sensible.

"I'll let her go into the water later, and you can bandage her wound and apply some external herbal medicine. But she is only allowed to do this in the water and is not allowed to go ashore. Do you understand?" I said.

"Oh my god, if we don't go ashore we won't be able to sleep at night. There are so many evil ideas..." Yingchun muttered, but didn't dare to speak loudly.

At least he doesn't look that irritable.

It is called a punishment, but in fact it is also a temporary compromise. Otherwise, the four of us cannot get along together, and Yunwen and I will be in great danger. You can fully understand this by looking at Yunwen's bleeding head at this moment.

After leaving the Song sisters in the mountain spring pool, I took Yunwen back to the house and cleaned her wound with clean water first. Then I asked her to prepare some herbs and clean cloths, and then go into the water to let Bai Lu bandage the wound to prevent the wound from worsening and getting infected.

Yunwen nodded and was about to go out to find Bailu to apply on the wound as I instructed. I held her hand, and she stopped and looked at me in confusion.

"It should be less than three or four hours before dinner time. It will be difficult to trap them in the pool at night. During this time, I plan to go down the tunnel to explore the situation and try to come back before dark. You just watch them, let them stay in the pool, talk to them, and don't let them go ashore, otherwise they will go crazy and our situation will continue to deteriorate." I said.

"Ah? You're going down alone? How about I go with you? Please wait for me for a moment." Yunwen said anxiously.

I held her shoulders, wiped the blood off her face with my hands, and said, "It's too dangerous down there, I'll go there. Besides, someone needs to look after this place, so you can just stay here. We have different divisions of labor, but the responsibilities are the same, okay?"

Yunwen frowned slightly, but she also felt that what I said made sense, so she could only sigh, came over, put her arms around my waist, and said, "I'm sorry, Zhou Bo, I can't help you every time. You have to do the most difficult and painful things. I really feel bad about it."

I gently stroked her hair and pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay. I just went to find out the situation. It's an intelligence operation. As for us, we also learned that there is poisonous miasma below, and spring water is immune to poisonous miasma. I will make a spring water mask filter device in a while. It's not difficult."

She nodded, looked at me with concern, and said, "Be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."

I nodded and was about to leave, but she exerted some force on her hand, so I turned back and was about to ask her something, but I saw her standing on tiptoe and kissing me lightly on the face. I blushed immediately, and her face turned red too, then she covered her face and ran to the backyard.
