Text Chapter 104
The two of them staggered among them, and they felt a biting chill coming from the inside of the cave.
Jing Chong didn't know exactly where this passage leads, but he'd been thinking about it since he first entered it three years ago, because he could always feel that this was definitely more than just a small cave.
Otherwise, who would have deliberately carved out a cave and then covered it up, unless there was a kind of secrecy in it, and it was a secret that no one knew.
But what kind of secrecy can't really attract Jing Chong, what he really cares about is that entering this cave with no bottom visible, it is difficult for people from the outside world to find out, even if it really has no end, they will not be easily discovered when they hide in it, once the wind passes, he and Nie Haiyuan will go out from this place, so as to find an opportunity to escape from the Blood Knife Village.
It was with such thoughts that he would so resolutely choose to move forward rashly and regardless of everything.
Two people walked in this rugged cave, there were piles of stones everywhere, along the road under their feet, Jing Chong also clearly found that the stone walls along the road were full of sharp cuts, it is obvious that the passage here is not naturally formed, but developed by later generations, but when I thought of developing such a wide and long passage with human power, Jing Chong's heart was not only shocked, but more doubts and puzzles.
What kind of person did such an extraordinary act? Anyway, the person who did such a thing was definitely not an ordinary idler, and who would spend so much effort to open a cave here when he was idle? Not to mention the mental effort required in it, the incomparable willpower of the others alone was enough to make people marvel and be awe-inspired.
The road under his feet became more and more rugged and narrow, because after reaching the heart of the mountain, not only did the man who excavated the cave not have much strength, but even the stones piled up in it were no longer perfectly treated, although most of them were piled up on the edges, but after all, they occupied a large space, so that the passage that could only be provided could be used by one person.
As a result, Nie Haiyuan, who was relatively fat, was extremely laborious to walk, and sometimes, he was helpless, but he could only use the iron burden in his hand to beat for a while before he could pass smoothly.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the two of them heard a gurgling sound of running water at the same time, and then they glanced at each other and showed a touch of surprise.
"There is water, there will be water, there will be a passage, it seems that this time we have been saved!"
Jing Chong was the first to exclaim, and when such words came into his ears, he immediately made the panting Nie Haiyuan also a little excited, but even so, they still couldn't see where the end of the passage was.
And as the two of them walked forward, even the passage under their feet came to an end, and they couldn't find a way out.
This kind of encounter is undoubtedly embarrassing, especially that Nie Haiyuan, the whole heart is deflated, originally heard the sound of water, and wanted to drink it happily, but at this time, even the road under his feet came to an abrupt end, isn't this clearly making people die?
His face was full of complaints, he had to look at Jing Chong with that angry gaze, but fortunately, his eyes were black, Jing Chong couldn't see his disdainful eyes at all, but from the sound of the other party squatting on the ground, it could be heard that the other party was very dissatisfied with his own guidance.
Walking into a desperate situation, Jing Chong didn't blame Nie Haiyuan for his temper, but he could always feel that there was definitely a way out here.
Moreover, the clear sound of running water was still vivid in his ears, and he did not think that the sound of water would be born in this hard stone wall, and the only way to say that there was a passage to speak of here.
With such a thought, Jing Chong did not seem discouraged, nor did he disturb Nie Haiyuan's rest too much, he held a steel knife and touched it on the surrounding stone walls, he did not let go of every part of the rough stone wall, and his ears did not stop at all, he moved his body in the direction of the sound of water, and sure enough, he touched a gap under his side.
"Sure enough, it's here!"
Jing Chong's cold exclamation suddenly made Nie Haiyuan jump up violently, and the iron burden in his hand swished in his hand, and he hurriedly rushed away in response to the voice.
"Where?"
Nie Haiyuan's rough voice echoed in the cave, buzzing, and then he saw him swing the iron burden in his hand and dance, "Lao Tzu smashed out the hole of the cave with a stick!"
In the face of Nie Haiyuan's rudeness, Jing Chong had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and then pointed to the crack on the side of his feet and said, "There is a boulder here, it looks like the person who dug the hole was deliberately blocked!"
As soon as Jing Chong's words fell, he heard a muffled sound in the void, and then heard a loud "click", and the boulder under his feet was really shattered by the iron burden.
A cool wind blew, and the two of them suddenly felt that there was an emptiness in front of them, but before Jing Chong could warn again, they heard a restless rolling sound.
"Oops" "Poof!"
Nie Haiyuan screamed, and fell into a puddle of water with an iron rod in his hand.
In the dark cave, there was nothing to see at all, but fortunately, Jing Chong's ears were extremely sensitive, and at the moment when Nie Haiyuan's body fell, he immediately jumped and sank into the water.
However, when he actually entered the water, he suddenly realized that the so-called puddle had only reached his knees, and after looking around with his hand for a while, he realized that there was still a hard stone wall around the current.
It's just that the stone walls here are smooth and delicate, and there are no traces of carving, and it is obvious that this is a naturally formed mountainside passage.
And following the direction of the water, it is very likely that it is the real passage out of the cave, and the original people who opened the cave also heard the sound of water here before giving up continuing to dig and diverting the way, so it seems that the situation of those so-called diggers at the beginning is also the same as their current situation!
Perhaps the man's situation was more passive than his own, otherwise how could he be so desperate to find a way to survive?
And it is not difficult to see from the passage carved out step by step that the other party's desire to survive is very strong, and the other party also has the strength and perseverance that others cannot match.
To have such a resolute struggle to survive and finally escape smoothly is not an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, Jing Chong's heart suddenly became mixed, the same mountain road, the same encounter, I really don't know how many blood and tears are hidden in this so-called blood knife village.
But this is also lucky, the most basic providence is to dig a natural passage for them, otherwise just this invisible mountainside, if it is really a person to dig out, even if they are not tired to death, it is enough for them to be trapped alive.
And the so-called predecessors of the masters can really be said to be worthy of the emperor's wishes, they still met this water flow in a desperate situation, and met this natural channel, maybe this can be regarded as God's favor for them.
With such thoughts, Jing Chong's originally angry heart gradually calmed down a little, and basically he understood that in this world, not only his ups and downs, but also his own general experience before the unknown many years, or still victorious, and now he is walking their old path, which can be regarded as reducing countless hardships and taking a lot of shortcuts, but they will also move towards a broad road, which is undoubtedly the only gratifying thing after experiencing endless hardships.
The more Jing Chong thought about it, the more excited he became, the more excited he became, so that at this time, he completely forgot the soreness on his body, and also completely forgot the scars.
However, he stopped again after taking a few steps, because at this time he didn't even hear Nie Haiyuan following up.
Almost subconsciously looking back, Jing Chong couldn't help but ask, "Fatty, what are you doing?"
As soon as the voice fell, I heard a rush of water behind me, and then in the empty cave, there was Nie Haiyuan's surprised voice of urn sound, "Hey, there are fish in here!
After hearing these words, although Jing Chong was a little black, it could not be concealed that he was really a little hungry.
After all, after such a long time of fleeing, I'm afraid it's been a night, from last night's fighting, to the overnight escape, they haven't touched their lips for a long time.
At this time, once he heard that a fish appeared, Jing Chong was of course a little impatient.
"Divide me first!"
As he spoke, Jing Chong stretched out his hand and snatched it towards Nie Haiyuan, even if it was a live fish, it was still slightly stronger than nothing.
"Fuck off your uncle, just this little hairy fish is not enough for Lao Tzu to stuff his teeth!"
Nie Haiyuan dodged and cursed.
"You dead pig, you should be hungry for a few days and lose your fat! Hurry up and give it to me!" Jing Chong was unyielding and snatched it.
"Your uncle, you said it lightly, if you don't eat enough, where do you have the strength to lose weight?" As he spoke, Nie Haiyuan took the fish in his hand and put it straight down towards the water.
"You fat man, I really don't know what to do, Lao Tzu is all for your good!" Jing Chong also picked up his footsteps and chased after him.
In this cool and moist mountain road, two figures rushed forward like birds out of the cage.
At this time, they seem to have completely forgotten their hatred, let go of their hearts, and chose to face the new beginning calmly!
