Lord Prime Minister

Chapter 41

The three of Mu Zihuai were about to set off to find the exit of the underground river, so they rented a small boat and rowed upstream, first to take a look at the cave that the boy said.

Five tall and strong soldiers took turns paddling, and it took less than an hour to reach the rock in the boy's mouth. Looking up, there was a cave less than two people away from the water, and it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.

Fortunately, the surface of this mountain rock is uneven, so it is not difficult to go up to the cave.

"Let us brothers go up and have a look first, and then inform Mr. Mu if we find anything." Xiaodao said, looking up at the stone wall, and suggested.

Mu Zihuai thought about it and nodded.

The five of them were all strong men with strong hands and feet, one after another, they disappeared at the entrance of the cave in a short while.

Mu Zihuai was sitting on the boat waiting for the news, but he didn't know how big the cave was. After touching it for about three quarters of an hour, several people still haven't come back.

Anxiously waiting, he frequently looked towards the high cave.Mu Zihuai began to think about whether he needed to go in. It took too long for them to have an accident.

The cave is not high, and there is a place to stay on the stone wall, so it stands to reason that it can't be difficult for him.

But what you are stepping on is a boat.

Mu Zihuai grew up in the north, he can only swim, but he can't row a boat.The waves came one after another, and the boat shook violently as soon as a person stood up.Even when Xiaodao and the others climbed up the rock wall just now, someone had to stabilize the hull of the boat before they could go ashore smoothly.

At this time, only Mu Zihuai was left on the boat, but the waves got bigger and bigger.

A wave of spray rushed over, hitting the hull of the ship and hitting the stone wall.Mu Zihuai shook his body and quickly grabbed the side of the boat.

There was a wave of ups and downs, and Mu Zihuai's figure had just stabilized when the boat swayed again.

Every time the sea hit the rocks, it shook the boat around.

Mu Zihuai held the boat tightly, looked up at the cave worriedly, with shock in his eyes.

The tide is rising.

The reason why this cave is inaccessible is that it is submerged under the water when the tide is high, and it can only be seen when the tide is low.

At first the cave was about two people high from the water, but now, if Mu Zihuai could stand up, he could touch the cave entrance with his hand.

At this speed, water will pour into the cave and submerge in less than an hour.

Mu Zihuai became anxious, the water level was still rising, and there was nothing he could do.

There is only one thing that can be done now.

It is not too late.

Mu Zihuai supported the stone wall, tried to stand up unsteadily, touched the edge of the cave with his hand, stepped on it, and jumped up with the strength of his arm.

Stretching to stand firm in the cave, he looked back again.Although the person came up, the boat capsized due to the hard step just now, and half sank into the water.

After only one glance, Mu Zihuai turned his head, took out the torch and blew on it, sparks sparkled, and the faint light illuminated the cave.

Walking forward cautiously by the light, the stone pit on the ground is full of water, I don't know how deep it is.Mu Zihuai accidentally stepped in once, and the water immediately reached his thigh.

After walking a little bit inside, Mu Zihuai couldn't see Xiaodao and the others, so Mu Zihuai had no choice but to go deeper, fearing that the seawater outside the cave would flood the cave, so he had to speed up his pace again.

The passage of time could hardly be felt in the darkness. Mu Zihuai didn't know how long he had walked, but he felt that the sea water under his feet had covered his insteps.

Sea water started pouring in.

Panic spread in his heart, Mu Zihuai ran forward for a while, stepped on the stone pit and fell somersault.

The clothes on his body were soaked by sea water, even the fire pockets were soaked.

House seemingly endless rain.

Regardless of being covered in water, Mu Zihuai groped forward. In the darkness, he could only feel that the water level had risen again, reaching the level of his knees.

There was only the sound of water and my own heavy breathing in my ears. The water level was getting higher and higher, but nothing was achieved.

Mu Zihuai began to retreat.

If I continue to search, I am afraid that I will also lose here.Although I can't drive a boat, I can swim.The boat doesn't sink all the way to the bottom, just turn it over and bail the water out...

Xiaodao and the five sent each other off all the way, and they went to the cave alone because they were worried that they would be in danger.If you just leave at this time, how can you pass your own test?

I have ventured into the cave to find them, but I can't find where they are.If they found another exit and left the cave, wouldn't they have lost their lives in vain?Life finally started to get better, so it just stops here?

Mu Zihuai pulled the tug of war in his heart, but kept walking forward.

Go a little further, and go back if you haven't found it yet.Mu Zihuai made up his mind.

The sea water was up to his waist, and Mu Zihuai was struggling to move forward while supporting the stone wall.He took a step forward and rubbed his hands on the support point, but suddenly he was thrown into the air, his body tilted, and Mu Zihuai fell to the side uncontrollably.

I waved my hand a few times but failed to touch the stone wall. I thought I would fall into the sea water, but my body stopped in mid-air.

It turned out that this was another grotto recessed in the rock wall, some distance from the ground, Mu Zihuai fell in without paying attention, his lower body was still soaking in the sea water, but his upper body had already entered the grotto, forming a bending motion.

Mu Zihuai frowned and straightened his waist. There was a strange smell in this small grotto, which was very faint, but he still smelled it out.Thanks to my myopia and this dark cave, there is a wonderful connection between the five senses of a person. When one of the senses is weakened, the other senses will become extremely sensitive.

Uninhabited caves often contain various dangers that can kill people, one of which is poisonous gas.Such a sentence appeared in Mu Zihuai's mind, and he was about to leave with his hands on his hands, but he accidentally bumped into a soft object.

Mu Zihuai pinched it, it was a hand!

Several possibilities popped up in his mind in an instant, Mu Zihuai simply took the hand and pulled the person out, and the temperature, he should still be alive, according to the time guess, it should be Xiaodao and the others.

Pulling half of the man out of the grotto, he fumbled and splashed some water on his face.Mu Zihuai gritted his teeth, tore off a piece of cloth and soaked it to cover his mouth and nose, and plunged back into the grotto.

It is very likely that the other four are also in this grotto.Fortunately, this grotto is some distance from the ground, and it is a blessing that the water has not flowed into it yet.

The Xiaodao five probably strayed into this place by mistake, and got poisoned by accident.

Mu Zihuai suddenly felt a little scared. If he hadn't walked a little further just now, and the water flooded into the grotto, Xiaodao and the others might have fallen here.

Now the coolies found the other four people one after another, Mu Zihuai moved them all out and splashed water on their faces.Fortunately, during this period, the first rescued person had woken up slowly.

"what happened?"

Mu Zihuai was anxious and worried, when such a voice suddenly appeared in the darkness, he was startled, and then he became happy again. "Are you awake? Hurry up and help carry the others out, the sea is going to submerge here."

At this time, the sea water had reached Mu Zihuai's chest. He was standing in the water, and the sea water was still pouring in. The huge sound of water forced him to raise his voice.

The man jumped into the water, picked up the two men and walked out. He walked very slowly, probably because the poisonous gas was still there.

Mu Zihuai supported the remaining two people in the water. His strength could not lift them up, but he could use the buoyancy of the water to keep them from drowning.

After taking a few steps, Mu Zihuai thought of another question.

The boat is gone.

The two came to the entrance of the cave with four people who were still in a coma, and what they saw was the vast sea, where there were no boats, even the sinking boat that Mu Zihuai expected at the beginning could not be seen.

Seeing the suspicious look from that person, Mu Zihuai knew that it was all his fault, and was about to explain the situation when a clear voice suddenly sounded.

"Sir, do you need a boat?"
