Chapter 63: The Ghost Blows Out the Lamp
I was stunned for a moment, put my ear to the chain and listened carefully, the cry for help was indeed coming from under the chain, and the woman's voice sounded very weak, and it was estimated that it would not work if I delayed for a while. I suddenly became upset, I really fucking should have tried to pull my junior brother up just now, how could there be so much bullshit now!
But having said that, it's not my style to die and not save me, yes, then what are you waiting for, let's go down!
I quickly analyzed the current situation with my junior brother, there is only one safety rope, and I don't know how deep it is, whether the rope is long enough, in case of any emergencies in the middle, it is not safe to hang on the safety rope at all. Combined with the actual situation here, these eight large iron chains look quite strong, and there is also a gap between the middle rings, which is convenient for us to fall into our hands and feet, and the most important thing is that even if there is any unexpected situation in the middle, we can still have a room for maneuver.
So we immediately decided to abandon the rope descent and climb with chains. However, the safety rope still has to play a certain role, and I tie the two ends of it to the waist of me and my brother respectively, so that even if one person accidentally loses his foot, the other person can be rescued in time.
When everything was ready, we began to climb down the chain carefully. I don't know when this chain was built, although it looks very solid, but after all, it is not new, and it is buried in the ground dozens of meters deep all the year round, and the moisture invades, and a thick layer of rust rises on the surface, and it feels very prickly as soon as you get started.
The two of us climbed for less than five minutes, and the two hands had already begun to bubble with blood, and the junior brother scolded: "Fuck, senior brother, if you go on like this, the girl hasn't seen it yet, and the two of us will fucking die first!" ”
A flash flashed through my mind and I said, "By the way, don't you still have a pair of leather gloves in your fanny pack, take them out!" ”
The junior brother was stunned: "That's right! Why the hell didn't I think of that! He looked down and handed me one. When I wore it, damn it, it was a few sizes smaller, and I couldn't even put a finger in it.
The younger brother suffocated for a long time, barely stuffed a little thumb into it, and the other four fingers were all held in the glove, and he couldn't open his activities at all, so he was so anxious that he scolded and wanted to break the glove.
I said, "Forget it, it's a lady's glove, so it's normal for us not to wear them." In this way, let's pull our sleeves forward and wrap our hands, isn't it stronger? The junior brother couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he nodded and did so, and we continued to climb down.
Although it is summer, the temperature in the mountains is low, and my junior and senior brothers are wearing long-sleeved jackets supported by the villagers, which are wide and wide, and the arms are slightly shrunk, and the sleeves are a little richer.
The further down you climb, the more concentrated the chain becomes, and the more places you can land, the easier it is to climb. I reckon that if nothing else, in a dozen or twenty minutes, we should be able to get to the end.
At this time, the junior brother was suddenly stunned and asked me a question: "Senior brother, have you heard the cry for help at this time?" ”
When he asked, I realized that since we started to climb down, it seems that I haven't heard the woman's cry for help again! I chuckled in my heart, no, could it be that she couldn't wait and passed first?
Seeing me, the junior brother shook his head, and immediately untied the flashlight on his belt, shone it downward, and shouted, "Look, there seems to be a person there!" ”
I also unfastened the flashlight on my waist, turned on the lamp and looked over, and sure enough, I saw a person, who was sticking to the stone wall about ten meters from our feet. The man was disheveled, barefoot, dressed in shabby red clothes, with his back to us, facing the stone wall of the well, standing upright, and I don't know how she stood up, and I didn't see anything under her feet.
I looked at my brother and sister, and I felt that there was something wrong with this thing, I didn't believe that there was any technology in this world that could make people hang in the air, of course, if this is a person, if it is something else, it will be difficult to say.
Don't look at the junior brother who is usually not afraid of heaven and earth, once he encounters these things that are related to ghosts and ghosts, he is so scared that he only shouts his mother. "Division...... Senior brother, you said this can't be a ghost, right? He trembled, and the chains on his hands and feet also shook and gurgled, and it was really crazy to be in this environment.
I was not afraid, but as soon as I was infected by this voice, my heart was hairy, and a layer of white sweat couldn't help but set off on my back.
I swallowed and foamed, and said as calmly as I could: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't see the hair on her back moving, it seems that she is still breathing, let's go down and have a look, maybe there is still salvation." ”
"Wait......" The junior brother dragged the safety rope in one hand, his face was like white paper, the cold sweat on his forehead fell straight down, looked at me and said: "I have a way, is it a human or a ghost, try ...... Try it and find out. ”
The junior brother's body was already shaking, but now he wrapped one arm around the iron chain from the inside to fix his body and prevent himself from falling, and the other hand was dragging the safety rope, and he had to go to his waist bag to find something. In this way, the body shook even more, and the left hand trembled and rummaged in the bag for a long time, and he didn't turn out a fart, but the strange sound of "clucking" was even more weird, and I heard my heart gurgling, jumping like thunder, and he was scared out of illness if he wasn't sick.
I said, "Whatever you're looking for, I'll find it for you." ”
The younger brother shuddered, as if he was startled by my sudden sound, and with a shake of his left hand, he brought out a white candle with the thickness of a finger, and no one reacted, and the candle turned over and fell. The junior brother stayed for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and looked at me and said, "Senior brother, have you heard of it...... Does the ghost blow the lamp? ”
I was stunned for a moment, understood what my junior brother meant, and my heart jumped a beat, nodded, and said, "Legend...... In the process of robbing the tomb, if the candle is extinguished, the things in hand must be returned to the original, otherwise there will be a catastrophe. ”
The junior brother swallowed and foamed at the mouth and said, "That's right, she is a human and a ghost...... Let's light a candle and try it, if the candle goes out...... Senior brother, I am dragging you down, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and I will serve you again. ”
My nose was sour, and I said: "It's the decision of the two of us to come down, and if you want to say that it's dragging, it's all my dereliction of duty as a senior brother, and I'll be a cow and a horse for you in the next life...... However, now the candle has fallen off before it is lit, and it is not considered to have been blown by her, maybe things will take a turn for the better, let's not scare ourselves first, the big deal is death, people always have to die, and you can occupy a front row if you go a little earlier. ”
At this time, the junior brother suddenly pointed down and shouted, "I'll lean ...... Senior brother, that woman is gone! ”
