Chapter 1O9 One Less Man
"Damn you, can you say something nice!" Yan'er knocked Shanshan's head.
"But...... But where the hell are they......" Shanshan cried out, and the cry spread far and wide in waves in the narrow cave, as if there were many girls crying at the same time, and I was horrified to hear it.
"Alright, don't cry!" Da Shuai said a fierce word to Shanshan, Shanshan immediately stopped crying, at this moment Da Shuai is the only boy we have here, although he is usually cynical, but at this time, we still take him as the main heart.
The cave became narrower and narrower, slippery and wet to the touch, and the sound of water dripping could be heard from time to time.
"There is a fork in the road, what should I do?" Yan'er and I stood in the middle of the two roads and asked.
"The one that goes straight", the big man said and put down his schoolbag, took out a piece of clothing, cut a small hole with nail clippers, and then tore it, tore off a small strip of cloth, tied it to the stone at the entrance of the straight hole, and led us over, none of us objected, and followed him all the way.
The further we went inside, the darker it became, and there was the sound of running water, and the sound of water proving that we were at least connected to the outside world, and we walked through many forks in the road, and each time we got there, we would choose the road that looked straighter, and we would also help a piece of clothing at the entrance of the cave.
"I want to go back......" Shanshan tried desperately to suppress her cry, but the more she suppressed it, the weirder it sounded.
"We'll be able to go out soon, don't worry", Yan'er was very bold, and comforted Shanshan: "If you want to go back, you go back alone, we won't accompany you." Shanshan looked behind at the dark cave and sobbed quietly but followed us closely.
And to the back, the hole is getting narrower and narrower, and in some places you almost have to turn sideways to get through, and it is getting darker and darker, and you can't see each other when you get a little distance, and we have several times relied on shouting to determine each other's position.
"The five of us are holding hands, don't be apart. I took the lead, Yan'er behind me, and Sissi and Shanshan were the weakest, in the middle. Ruolan is at the end", Dashuai stopped in front and said to us.
"No way!" Yan'er shouted: "I don't want to sign your hand, Sissi is always very slow, Sissi is second." In the middle is Ruolan, the fourth is Shanshan, Shanshan is in front of me, I protect her, and I am at the end. ”
"Yan'er!" The handsome coquettish tone: "You are behind me, let me protect you".
"Keep your head, I'll go myself," Yan'er said as she walked to the back of the line.
The handsome man had no choice but to take Sissi's hand as Yan'er said. And I was behind Sissi, holding Sissi's hand, behind me was Shanshan, behind Shanshan was Yan'er, five people lined up in a vertical row, because only one person could pass, we could only hold hands one after the other.
Why are Sissi's hands so cold, in fact, I still don't believe that Sissi will harm me, it must be that Master Ru is mistaken, after so many ups and downs. I know Sissi is my best friend!
"Sissi, are you cold? Why are your hands so cold? I asked with concern, "I still have a coat in my bag, do you want to wear it?" It's a bit damp here, so why don't you put it on? ”
"No need. Thank you", in the darkness I could only feel Sissi turn her head and smile at me, in fact, Sissi's facial features, I can't see clearly at all.
Sissi's hands in front of me were cold, and Shanshan's hands in the back were shaking all the time, and there was a lot of sweaty hands. I almost slipped out several times, she grabbed me tightly every time, it seems that she is really timid, in fact, except for a little dark, a little crowded, a little damp, everything else is fine, it shouldn't be long before you can get outside, maybe the classmates have already gone out, and they are waiting for us outside at the moment!
"Shall we still go the way that looks straight?" Seeing that the team stopped, the last goose knew that it had encountered another fork in the road, and shouted there.
"Yes, there are four intersections in front of me now", the voice of the big handsome sounded in front, in fact, I could only see the front of the Sissi and the back of Shanshan, the front of the handsome and the back of the Sissi. I couldn't see at all, and Sissi and Shanshan could only see a vague shadow.
"I'll take the strip of cloth, you hold hands, don't let go, stand still and don't move, I'll go tie the strip of cloth, I'll come right away, don't move, you know?" The marshal told repeatedly. We all hold each other tightly, and once we let go of our hands in this kind of hellish place, we won't find anyone.
"Tie it up, let's go to the second hole on the left," the voice of the handsome man was heard not far away, and his footsteps were heard walking towards us.
But the footsteps walked back and forth, as if a long time had passed, and we all held our breath, waiting for the big handsome to come and take Sissi's hand, and then lead us over, but after waiting for a long time, we only heard footsteps, but there was no sign of the team moving.
"Huh? What about you? The voice of the handsome man came.
"It's right here!" Yan'er replied anxiously.
"Yes, we haven't moved, listening to the sound, you should be very close to us", I'm also anxious!
"Dashuai...... Can't you find us? "Shanshan started crying again behind me, and I just felt her hands tremble even more.......
"Don't move, don't come to me, remember to hold your hands, don't let go." Da Shuai said in front, listening to the voice, it should be in front, how can you not find us? Moreover, when the handsome man let go of Sissi's hand just now and went to tie the strip of cloth, I also counted his footsteps, from his original position to the entrance of the cave to tie the strip of cloth, he only took three steps! You should be able to touch Sissi as soon as you turn around, why can't you find us now?
"Sissi, you're in the front now, how far can you see in front of you? Can you see the big handsome? I asked Sissi in front of me.
"It's dark in front, and I can't see anything, but I can see the strip of cloth on the shirt that the big handsome is tied up, it's white, and it's still moving there, as if it's holding a white flag." Sissi said lightly.
"Woo...... Sissi, what do you see", Shanshan took my hand and shook it, crying and said, "Is Dashuai already dead?" You're seeing black and white, right? ”
"Shanshan! What nonsense are you talking about", the big handsome roared, and Shanshan was suddenly calmed, "I'm not dead yet, you want me to die so much!" ”
Shanshan turned into a very soft sob, didn't dare to speak, didn't even dare to apologize, it seemed that she was really frightened, but Sissi was really, why did she say such a thing, what kind of white flag, she has been talking very little in the past few days, how can she scare us like this at a critical moment! And I remembered what Master Ru said to me, and I was suddenly terrified, I couldn't find a sense of security in the dark environment, and I had to hold Sissi's cold hand tightly, and I only felt awkward all over.
"Grass! Where the hell are you? The marshal shouted impatiently, and kept making the sound of footsteps back and forth.
"Dashuai, can you see the strip of white cloth you just tied?" I asked.
"Yes, it's the brightest, it's really like black and white, I wonder if there's a strip of black cloth next to it," Dashuai replied impatiently.
"You go right in front of the strip of cloth", I said, "then turn around, take three steps, and there you are, I have just counted your steps, from the starting point to the tying of the strip of cloth, it took only three steps".
"Okay, okay, I'll try", the big boss immediately agreed.
Then, I heard him count himself: "One, two, three," and sure enough, he grabbed my hand.
"Great, it's finally back, it scares me to death!" The palms of the handsome are full of sweat, but his tone is much more relaxed: "Okay, let's keep walking!" ”
"Wait!" I shouted.
"What's wrong?" Everyone asked me.
And all of a sudden, my hairs stood on end, didn't they even notice? At least the handsome should have found out! I'm the only one who noticed!
"Ruolan, what's wrong?" The wild goose at the back asked, "Do you have any objections to choosing this cave?" ”
I ignored Yan'er, but asked Dashuai: "Dashuai, didn't you notice anything wrong?" ”
"What's wrong?" Da Shuai's voice was full of confusion.
"We ...... One of us was missing...... "My voice was shaking, and I felt like I was about to cry......
"Who...... Who......" Shanshan, who was behind me, said with a crying voice: "Ruolan, don't scare me......"
"Why are all you women mentally ill, who is missing?" The big handsome took my hand and said irritably.
Didn't you find that it was missing? How could the handsome not find out? I'm about to break down!
"Dashuai, whose hand were you holding just now?" I asked tentatively.
"You!" Da Shuai was a little angry: "What are you kidding, haven't you been holding you all the time?" I just went to tie a strip of cloth to separate from you for a while, what do you mean by that? ”
I couldn't control it, and the tears flowed down by themselves, but with Dashuai in front and Shanshan in the back, I couldn't spare my hands to wipe my tears, and I whispered: "Did you deliberately scare me, did you keep holding me just now?" ”
"Ruolan, what's wrong with you? You've always been the second, you haven't changed," Yan'er said at the back of the line.
"Ruolan, don't scare me...... Shanshan said tremblingly, "What do you mean by that...... Dashuai didn't hold your hand just now, so who have you been holding before? There's no one else here......"
"Let's go, don't make a fuss!" The handsome man took my hand and walked forward.
"Wait!" I shouted.
"Where's Sissi? Didn't Sissi come in second place just now? Handsome! Aren't you holding Sissi's hand? I couldn't restrain myself from roaring.
"Woo woo...... Shanshan cried quietly again: "Ruolan, what are you talking about, who is Sissi?" Don't scare me, okay! I want to go home...... I'm going home......"
I feel like I'm about to fall, and I can't see each other's expressions clearly in the dark cave, but they don't have to join forces to play tricks on me, right? Is there still any time to joke in such a situation? (To be continued.) )
