Chapter 39: Whereabouts
The cave is naturally cracked, the entrance is wide, and its interior is narrow.
It is much more painful to fall into a mountain rock than to be hit directly by a stone.
Xie Roujia stretched out her hand and spread her legs to support the falling body to reduce the impact of a rapid fall.
Under the severe pain in his hands, feet and legs, his speed really slowed down, and soon his feet climbed the protruding rocks, and his hands also climbed the stone wall.
She looked down, and her vision was dark, as if there was a bottomless pit below.
It won't be a bottomless pit, Xie Roujia took a deep breath, closed her eyes and began to feel, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she shouted in her heart that it was not good.
The wind whistled overhead, and the mountains and rocks fell like rain.
"Brother An!" Xie Roujia shouted, her hands and feet exerted force at the same time, and the person who fell on it had already reached the top of her head.
The gravity of her shoulders caused her to slide down here.
There was a brushing sound in his ears, and his already numb body felt severe pain again, but fortunately it didn't slip far, and the people above stopped first.
Xie Roujia gasped for breath to support both sides.
"Brother An! What are you doing down here! She shouted.
The man above was holding on to the wall and was climbing forward cautiously, as if afraid of bumping into her.
"Don't climb, get out of your hands, we'll both die." Xie Roujia said.
Angoku immediately stopped moving.
"You, how do you know it's me?" He asked.
"Who else but you are so stupid!" Xie Roujia said angrily.
There was silence in the cave.
"Okay, don't move now, I'll go down first, and then you can get off when I shout." Xie Roujia continued, slowly moving down two steps, and raised her head again. "No matter what I do, as long as I don't call you down. You are not allowed to move, remember? ”
Brother An hummed heavily.
Xie Roujia continued to decline.
The rocks here are fragile. Several times she stepped on the air and fell down with a scream, stumbling for a while before holding herself up again.
Fortunately, Brother An is really obedient.
One step at a time, two strokes at a time, her body slowly slipped down, her palms were already rubbed, severe pain and numbness were intertwined, Xie Roujia's spirit became more and more concentrated, her eyes slowly saw the surroundings clearly, and she could even hear a low sigh.
That's the wind.
It's here!
Xie Roujia held her feet on both sides and hung in the air. She immediately grabbed her head and curled up and fell.
The sound of popping echoed through the cave.
"Hey." Overhead, Angobi's eager voice rang out.
"I'm fine, don't move yet, I want to find out where she is first, lest you come down and hit her." Xie Roujia clenched her hand and carefully sent her voice out, "Don't speak loudly, the whole mountain is brittle." ”
There was no sound overhead.
With only his own heavy breathing in his ears, Xie Roujia stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and nose, staring at her eyes and pricking up her ears.
Listen. The wind was passing through, and the low whimpering of the subtle people flickered far and near.
Look, there is a bright light, and the dots are scattered like dust.
The noise in my ears gradually dissipated. All kinds of sounds became clear, the sound of the wind, the rustle of the rocks. The crawling sound of insects, the faint sound of breathing.
Breathe sounds!
Xie Roujia held her breath. Trying to widen his eyes, his vision gradually became clearer. It was a slightly wide cave, surrounded by rocks that had apparently collapsed.
She lowered her head and saw a dark figure not far from her feet.
Xie Rouqing!
Xie Rouqing!
Xie Roujia cautiously approached and knelt down, stretched out her hand to touch the girl's thick and loose hair, her hand slowly rubbed, and the tentacles were sticky, but because her hand itself was already blurred with flesh and blood, she couldn't tell whether it was her blood or Xie Rouqing's blood.
The hand finally put it under the girl's mouth and nose, and there was a faint breath brushing.
That's great!
"Brother An!" Xie Roujia raised her head and lengthened her voice to send her voice lower, "When you come down, jump to the left." ”
As soon as her words fell, there was a loud bang overhead, accompanied by the flying earth and rocks, and An Geyu fell from the top and rolled to the left.
This fall made the cave begin to shake, Xie Roujia leaned over Xie Rouqing, and the next moment his body was also covered by someone, there was a rumbling sound in all directions, and the earth and rocks flying above his head.
The ground shook violently, and Mrs. Xie stood unsteadily and fell to her knees.
"Take your mother away, take your mother away." She shouted, "Fill the well, fill the well." ”
A few more people hurriedly helped Mrs. Xie up, and the kneeling miners stumbled again and walked towards the gap in some confusion.
"Stop, stop, stop." Old Madam Xie shouted, struggling to push away the people who were supporting her, "All kneel, all kneel!" ”
The miners fell to their knees again.
"Mother! Otherwise, it will be too late! Mrs. Xie shouted.
Old Madam Xie knelt on the ground.
"It's in time, it's in time." She shouted in a hoarse voice, "It's in time, it's in time." ”
A single Dan girl jumped down.
A single Dan girl jumped down.
If the mountain god still doesn't stop his anger, what's the use of these miners jumping down again!
Rest your anger, O mountain god!
She leaned over and prostrated her head, whimpering and singing.
Rest your anger, O mountain god!
The shaking gradually stopped, and the tip of his mouth and nose lingered with choking dust and gravel, Xie Roujia's body moved, and An Ge Yu immediately got up, and there was another sound of sand and gravel falling to the ground.
"How are you?" An Ge Yu asked in a low voice.
Xie Roujia shook her head.
"I'm fine." She said, looking down at Xie Rouqing, "However, she has something." ”
An Ge Yu took out the flint and steel, lit the fire twist, lowered his head, and the expression on his face changed slightly.
Xie Rouqing did not lie on the ground, but was stuck in a gap, half of her body was sunk in, covered in blood, like a rag doll.
Xie Roujia carefully reached out and brushed her hair, revealing a pale and blood-blurred face.
She was badly injured, she should have been knocked unconscious halfway through, and then stumbled all the way without any cushion.
"Brother An, you chose this place?" Xie Roujia asked.
Brother An nodded, a little nervous.
"I don't know if it's right." He whispered.
"Yes, you're looking for the right thing. If you hadn't found this place, she would have jumped down and the whole mountain would have collapsed. Not only is she dead, but you can't escape from the outside. Xie Roujia said. He lowered his head and looked at Xie Rouqing again, "If she hadn't landed here, we would have jumped down and died." ”
She said as she took a few steps out of the way, looking at Xie Rouqing's gap where she was stuck.
"Is this the main fault?" An Ge Yu asked in a low voice.
Xie Roujia nodded, and looked around again.
"It's critical, but it's more than that." "The mountain is completely dead," she said. ”
The sound of the wind in my ears was like the gasp of a dying man's bellows, heavy, pitiful and helpless.
Since it is said that here is the key. That......
Brother An lowered his head and looked at Xie Rouqing.
"She," he said.
Before the words were finished, Xie Roujia had already spoken first.
"Brother An, how sure are you that you can climb out the way you came?" She looked up at the cave above.
Fortunately, the shaking of the square fell some rocks, and you can get close to the entrance of the cave by climbing.
It's just that the hole is still very long to the outside.
"I can climb out." An Ge Yu said.
"What about carrying a man on his back?" Xie Roujia asked.
Ange looked at her.
"Didn't you say that this is the key here, if you pull her out, won't the mountain collapse?" He said.
Xie Roujia looked around.
"It's okay, you don't have to be stuck here, you need to use stones." She said in a relaxed tone.
Brother An looked at her and didn't speak.
"If you can't carry it, you go up first. Find the rope. Xie Roujia said.
"Then there's no time, is there?" An Ge Yu asked.
Xie Roujia looked at him and nodded.
"Yes." She said.
"Can you come out then?" An Ge Yu asked.
Xie Roujia looked at him and smiled.
"I can." She said, reaching out to take his hand, "I can, you go first." I'll definitely catch up. ”
Ankobi didn't move.
Xie Roujia shook his hand again and let go.
"Quick, hold on to the mountain bones in other places first." She said, picking up a rock on the ground and running in one direction. Slammed in.
There was a shake on all sides.
An Ge Yu immediately picked up a stone and threw it in the other direction.
The sand and gravel are dusty.
…………………………………….
Mrs. Xie staggered a few steps to steady.
"It's shaking again! It's shaking again! She cried out, "Mother! ”
Old Madam Xie knelt on the ground motionless. Get up and prostrate yourself, get up and prostrate yourself.
"Ayuan." She looked up. "You go first."
Mrs. Xie was stunned, and threw herself beside her and knelt down.
"Mother, what do you say!" She shouted, grabbing Old Madam Xie's arm.
"Ayuan, the three of us, we can't keep none of them, with you at home, we can be stable." Old Madam Xie said in a low voice, "You go quickly." ”
Tears welled up in Mrs. Xie's eyes.
"No, no, Mother, let me come." She shouted, getting up and about to rush over.
Old Madam Xie grabbed her and held her down.
"You're crazy!" She shouted in a low voice, "My body is useless, I don't die now, I will die in a few years, it is better to die in the mine than to die in bed, to die in my due responsibility." ”
Mrs. Xie shook her head with tears streaming down her face.
"Mother, I have watched my daughter die, and I have to watch my mother die, how will you let me live in the future? How will you let me live in the future? She cried.
"If you can't live, you have to live!" Old Madam Xie shouted, "Don't I want to die?" Haven't I been alive all the time? Did your great-great-great-grandmother not live when she saw her little daughter seriously ill and could not be saved because the sacrifice could not be interrupted? It's not like you're going to live all the time! ”
Mrs. Xie couldn't cry, just shook her head.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Old Madam Xie pushed her.
In the middle of the entanglement, the tremor on the ground subsided, and Old Madam Xie and Mrs. Xie looked ahead, looking a little surprised.
Why, I trembled for a while, and stopped again for a while, it stands to reason that it should have collapsed a long time ago.
Xie Roujia took a few steps back and looked around, gasping for breath.
"Alright, that's all there is for now." She said, looking at Xie Rouqing who was stuck on the ground.
Brother An took a step forward and clenched his hands.
"How?" He asked, "Pull her out, who's going to fill it in?" ”
Xie Roujia looked at him and smiled, and held up a stone.
"Stones." She said.
Ange looked at her.
"Really?" He asked.
