Chapter 55: It's Messy Again
Cautious along the way, I paid close attention on the way back, and saw inexplicable water stains in many places, appearing under some white mycelium.
The entire inside of the tree hole was damp and cold. I probably understand why the rainbow lion didn't come in. Pointing to Lao Jin behind him, he also understood, and the two of us slowed down a bit. After all, this is not far from the main road, and I want to look for possible routes, and I don't want to go out for nothing. There are even more doubts about the family outside. The child, Ah Xiang, and the shadow, the connection between them, I can't figure it out, but I'm very jealous.
It seems unreasonable for these ancestors to design such a tree hole, which lacks a platform for worship and has a ceiling for ventilation. It is like a whole chest-like dungeon with an upright tail growing on it, like a hammer, which can turn the entire dungeon upside down.
I recall the allusion of the second master at that time, saying that this tree hole is downward, we need to climb up, and the way to walk from the outside is denied, compared to the rainbow lion, I prefer to choose poisonous mycelium.
I stood in the hollow of the tree, using a flashlight to search upwards, and the staggered white floc was wrapped into a net, but the toughness was not great, and it didn't take too much force to tear it apart.
"Let's get out." The sudden sound startled me and Lao Jin.
The second master woke up.
He untied himself from Old Kim's body and said, "We need some tools." ”
Yes. Hike up from the hollow of the tree, and probably both of them will die except me.
Surprisingly, Lao Jin did not agree. He took out the kettle from the bag behind his back, took a sip, and then handed it to me, saying, "Girl, you are the only one here who is not afraid of mycelium, you go up first." The two of us old guys are not dexterous, so let's go out first, change our equipment, and give you a signal when we explore the road. ”
I took the water bottle and took another look at Lao Jin. He staggered my gaze and lowered his head, saying nothing.
Normally, this is leaving me alone to take risks, and I should refuse. But I didn't, but nodded, began to prepare, and climbed up.
The second master didn't speak, but kept staring at Lao Jin, his eyes were a little cold.
I got ready, put the hook on my hand, and climbed up little by little, ripping the mycelium as I crawled, and carved a path. I try not to let myself think too much, but the reality is always cruel. The person I originally didn't trust the most, and the person I worked with for the first time turned out to be the only one who was true to me.
Lao Jin had been suspicious for a long time, but it was ridiculous that I thought I was in control of the overall situation. Relying on the fact that he had been here before, he was so careless.
From the very beginning, the second master showed familiarity with this place, and I attributed it to the accuracy of his information. And then the vigor of the body and hands is also thought to be the result of long-term exercise. But his reaction after seeing the red lion was the same as Xu Feng's previous statement that he would help with the second master's buddies......
There was no water in Lao Jin's bottle of water at all, and he handed me the empty bottle to remind me that it was fake. It's also for my good to let me go first, and my relationship with Xu Feng is destined not to be directly singled out.
But I don't understand why they bothered so much. Directly speaking, how can I stop it, I have to go to the tomb like the second master. Take off your pants and fart, it's too much.
Although I feel a little sad, I also have to do my own job well.
Thinking about it, before I knew it, I had climbed a long way. The higher you go, the less structures resemble the inside of the tree cavity. Now it is suspended more than ten meters in the air, and it is no longer possible to climb with hooks. Professional climbing skills are required, and although you can't do it on flat ground, it's enough to support it.
On both sides are metal rock walls, which are sparsely distributed from the outdoor natural carved points, and there are many places to step on here, and the inside is a convex relief. I try my best to attach the weight of my body to my feet, relying on my senses to look for ridged rock points with smooth or semi-flat edges, and moving on the rock points with the inside of your shoe, the forefoot and the toe of your foot. This back-and-forth frees up your toes and improves your staying power.
There are a lot of gaps in the relief, and I don't dare to turn on the lights, it will wake up the rainbow lion outside.
I took a breath and was about to look down, although the black mother was grunting, but if there was any movement, it meant that the two of them had negotiated and returned. I'm not going to hang alone in mid-air. It's been going on for a long time, and it's certainly not a good thing, at least for me.
I just looked down like this, but I was scared away.
