Chapter 182: Big Boulder Blocks the Way
"There's a big rock?"
This is not good news.
As soon as I heard that, my eyebrows furrowed.
I said to Tian Qiuqiu: "How big is it? Is it in the way? You retreat to the back first, let me go in and see the situation." β
On a loose section, I switched positions with Tian Qiuqiu.
I turned on the flashlight and crawled inside, Tian Qiuqiu followed behind again, and said to me: "It looks very big, I guess I can't pry it open." β
I said, "If we can't pry it open, we'll take a detour! β
As he spoke, he soon reached the end and saw the big stone that Tian Qiuqiu said was blocking the way.
I took the flashlight and looked it up and down.
Depend on!
The whole side was filled in front of me, like a stone wall, and the whole way was blocked!
Sure enough, it's big enough!
Looks like we really have to take a detour. This thing can't be pryed!
I wiped the dirt from the stone with my hand, and once again twisted my brow into Sichuan characters.
I know, it's a bit of a hassle.
The digging along the way was quite smooth, and all I encountered were some broken soil and small stones, and I had never seen such a large block of stones.
This big stone, don't even think about it, you can't pry it open, and you have to pick it for a long time to take the excavator, not to mention that I don't have any tools in my hands now.
I turned back to Tian Qiuqiu and said, "I can't pry it, I have to go around it instead." I'll have to see how to change it, you can go out and take a breath first, it's very stuffy here. β
Tian Qiuqiu answered, turned around and left.
Her work has been carried out at the bottom of the cave, and the air here is very bad, and she is considered the most stuffy. So I can't wait for the opportunity to go outside to breathe.
I grabbed the barrel and quickly began to dry.
The hole we dug was a round hole about 60 centimeters in diameter.
Theoretically, we don't need to dig that big, there is more than 40 centimeters, and we can easily drill through.
But in practice, this is not the case.
Because I have to carry dirt, I have to run back and forth, and I have to carry dirt and rocks, and my body has to be moving, right? Otherwise, walking in it all day long will suffocate me.
In addition, in some places, in order to make it easier to turn around, I have carved out a large space of one square meter. Every seven or eight meters, make one out.
I held the steel pipe and dug it to the right first, and then I scattered the dirt a little bit back to the nearest large space, and then piled the rest on the other side.
I dug more than a meter next to the big rock, but I found that I still couldn't get around it, and I couldn't find a way out.
This big rock is a bit bigger than you can imagine.
It's like there is no edge, no matter how far I dig out, I can't hide from it.
I'm not in the mood to go any further, maybe I'm going in the wrong direction.
Try the other side!
I turned to the left again, and I took out the dirt and scattered it to the right.
As a result, this dig was more than a meter away.
The big rock blocking the road in the direction of the front is still far from being able to dig out.
In this way, the idea of bypassing the side is in vain.
At this time, I also became a little irritable.
Because I have realized that if this really can't be bypassed, what does this mean to me and Tian Qiuqiu!
Tian Qiuqiu went out to breathe enough, turned back again, saw me inside and kept turning the soil out, and asked, "Brother Lele, how is it, where can I go?"
I gasped and replied, "I haven't found it yet, so let's wait a minute." β
I paused, and then ordered, "Oh, Qiuqiu, you can scatter some of the dirt I threw out here into the large space next to you that is used to turn around, otherwise there will be no piling up here." β
Tian Qiuqiu said: "It's better for me to transport it outside." β
I said, "Don't use it first, it's laborious and tiring to transport outside, and you can't do it." Let's scatter around the neighborhood first, this hole is big enough to scatter some dirt, as long as there is a space for people to drill through. As for whether it will be transported to the outside or not, let me find my way first. Otherwise, it's in vain. β
As soon as Tian Qiuqiu heard my tone, he felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Brother Lele, is it ...... That big rock is too wide to get around?"
I was covered in stinky sweat, digging stones and digging the tips of my fingers were hot and painful, and I wanted to say something depressing, but after thinking about it, I still forgot it, and said, "No, I'll dig a little further and take a look." Don't worry!"
I was ruthless, waved the steel pipe, and continued to dig down!
I don't believe it, this broken stone is still so big that it is endless!
As a result, when I continued to dig more than half a meter, another blow was delivered in front of me.
I've dug into the side wall of this road.
It's a stone wall again!
This stone wall seems to grow together with the big stone in front of it.
Could it be that I miscalculated?
This road doesn't lead to an underground river, but it ends here, and ends here.
Look at the terrain, it's going down diagonally, and the water is flowing inward, if there is no way here, where does the water go?
I leaned up my face, took my sleeve, and wiped the stone surfaces, paying special attention to the junction of the two stone walls.
There are cracks!
There are breaks!
In this case, this shows that these two stone walls do not grow together naturally.
Then on the side is the cave wall of this road.
What about the previous one?
Was it the collapse of the mountain caused by the earthquake the day before yesterday? Was it a huge subsidence that caused the whole mountain to sink? And then it happened to be blocked in front of the entrance of this cave?
Fuck, am I that decrepit?
I couldn't believe it, and looked at the stone wall againβI thought it was a stone, but now it looks more like a stone wall!
Then he used his fingers to pick at the small gap between the two stone walls.
As a result, I found that I was more and more in line with my own judgment.
This position is no longer a simple dirt collapse!
But even more deadly, the mountain sinks!
Thinking of this, cold sweat flowed from my back.
It's really life-threatening!
If it was just a simple burial of broken soil, I could have kept digging!
At least I can dig it!
And if the whole mountain is stuck here, it will be a desperate hope for me!
How capable am I, can I still survive a mountain?
And it's still a mountain of stones!
Even if I were given another month of work, without eating or drinking, I wouldn't be able to wear it!
I grabbed a handful of messy hair, and I was already feeling extremely anxious.
In the past few days, what has supported my will is all this life path that gives me a glimmer of hope.
Tian Qiuqiu and I, I bet on whether we can live or not, but we are all on this.
That's why I desperately dug holes, even if the skin on my palms and knees was worn off layer after layer, and Tian Qiuqiu's hands were full of blood blisters, we didn't care.
Once that hope is dashed today, we ...... But I really had to despair to the end, and I had a nervous breakdown.
Now there are so few recommended tickets every day......
