Chapter 173: Let Me Go
"Climbing down the ladder, I was quite excited and happy at first. But soon, after only ten minutes, these happy and excited emotions were inevitably replaced by regret, exhaustion, and a hint of fear. ”
"The ladder is a section embedded in the wall, similar to the one on the outside of some buildings, except for a place where you can barely step on it. And because the diameter of the big hole is very large, except for the front that is directly in front of it, the left and right sides and the back side are all empty, and there is not even a place to lean a little bit. ”
"At first, I had a lot of energy, and I didn't feel good when I was going down. However, after climbing for a few minutes, it was far from the end, but because there was no other place to borrow strength during the climbing, I could only rely on the strength of my hands and feet to maintain my body, and I was still young at the time, so I didn't have much Jin'er, so my strength began to dry up a little, and even my arms began to tremble. ”
"What's worse is that in ten minutes, I've actually climbed a certain distance, about half of it. At this time, if I try to climb up again, it is difficult for the strength in my body to support the top of the cave, and it is even more dangerous than climbing down. ”
"Suspended in mid-air, I was in a dilemma, I didn't know what to do, it was hard to make a decision. And what's even more worrying is that I can't make a choice, so I hang on the ladder like this, which also causes my physical strength to still be consumed, and I don't know when my arm will be completely weak, then it will be really miserable, and if I fall down, I will die with those livestock at home. ”
"If the family can't find out for a while, when they find me again, it is estimated that my corpse and the corpses of those livestock have rotted together, and then they will try to separate which one is me, which one is the lamb or the duck, but it will really take some effort!"
"When I think of this, my scalp doesn't tingle, there's nothing more terrible than scaring myself. I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I made a decision in a hurry, and I didn't have time to judge whether it was wise or not, but I had to do something, so I decided to continue to climb down. ”
"The reason is that I know my character very well, and I know that even if I climb up and climb back on the ground, when I recover, there is a good chance that I will climb down again, which will definitely be more dangerous. It's all a risk anyway, so it's better to forget it now and save yourself from regrets. ”
With this in mind, I hooked the ladder with the soles of my feet, and then took my shirt off with both hands. After taking it off, I tied my clothes around my waist, and the idea was very simple, that is, every time I climbed a few ladders, I would tie my clothes to the iron pipe of the ladder to fix my body, so that I could recover some strength. ”
With a goal in mind, I dragged my tired body and trembling hands slightly, and I moved again. Facts have proved that my ideas and methods are accurate, after taking this method, sure enough, although the speed inevitably slowed down again, but the physical energy is relatively economical, and there is not even any consumption, but every time I stop, I am recovering my strength. In this way, little by little, I got closer and closer to the bottom of the cave. ”
"And as my body got closer and closer to the bottom of the cave, I gradually began to smell some blood and stench, and the smell became stronger and stronger, a bit like the smell of bad, so I almost didn't vomit it after smelling it, and it took me a long time to get used to it!"
"Obviously, such a heavy taste must have been fermented, and it is definitely not something that the twenty or so domestic animals just now can bring. Whether in terms of time or quantity, it is not right. In this way, it seems that the incident of driving the livestock to the bottom of the cave like the one just now is not the first time it has happened, but it has been going on for a long time. ”
"In this way, it also explains why the taste at the bottom of the cave is so rushing, and it also explains why the livestock that have been raised at home for so many years do not eat or buy, but the number has not increased at all, and all the dares have been thrown here."
"Thinking about it this way, I probably guessed why they had to select the animals before they took them out of the fence just now, they must be selecting the older and infertile livestock, otherwise in the long run, the number of livestock should be negative!"
With this in mind, I climbed down, and after a few more minutes, I suddenly started to make strange noises. Squeak, squeak, this is a very annoying sound, I can't guess the source, it's a bit like the sound of scraping the iron basin with my fingernails, which makes people feel very uncomfortable from the bones when they hear it. ”
"Could it be that there are rats under this hole? The sudden sound made me feel quite inexplicable, but it didn't stop me from continuing to go down. To be honest, I'm actually very afraid of mice, but I've already come here at this time, let alone mice, even if it's a tiger below, I have to change Wu Song once! ”
He gritted his teeth, held back his fear, and continued to climb down. After a few more minutes of climbing, I already had a feeling that I should be very close to the cave now, maybe two or three stories high. ”
As I went down, the sound I heard just now became clearer and clearer. Sensing that I was already very close to the ground, I didn't rush down, but decided to take another break and stay at my best to get to the bottom of the cave. ”
As it turned out, my thinking was accurate, because just as I was resting, the "squeak" sound appeared again, this time more clearly, as if a mouse was gnawing on a bone. My natural fear of rats reminds me of this picture, and I can't help but feel a little worried. ”
And at this time, "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry!" "The voice of a man suddenly rang at the bottom of the cave, one might even say almost in my ears. When I heard this sudden sound, I couldn't help but feel cold with blood all over my body, and I almost fell off the ladder. ”
"Who? Who's talking? "At this time, it may be best to be quiet and listen, but the instinctive reaction of human beings in the face of fear makes me can't help but cry out."
And the owner of that voice didn't seem to notice me, and he didn't expect a person's voice to suddenly appear next to him. After a full dozen seconds of silence, he suddenly shouted again: "Who? Who's talking? Let me out, let me out! ”
