"You can stand the smell of it, too." As I spoke, I had already put down my hand covering my nose. After walking here for a few minutes, my nose was barely getting used to the smell and no longer had the discomfort I felt when I first came in.

Boss Ye, who was walking in front, paused, twitched his nose a few times and said, "My nose has been a little stuffy since yesterday, and the smell is not as serious as yours, so I don't feel anything." ”

"You ......" I was speechless for a moment, feeling like there were millions of grass and mud horses in my heart. That's it, Boss Ye, this old fox, I said when did he become so tolerant, daring is such a thing.

After thinking about it, I asked, "I'm afraid this road doesn't lead to the foot of the mountain, so if we say that, won't we be able to reach the expedition in a while-"

As we were talking, Boss Ye and I both stepped on the air, and after sliding a long way, we fell heavily to the ground.

"Well, I was just going to say that." I held on to my aching buttocks and stood up, "I just wanted to say, if we walk like this, will we go to the passage dug by those expeditions." Sure enough, this should be the place, right? ”

"Don't ask me, I don't know, what's the matter, people are stuffed with saliva and mouths, pull me up, I can't get up." Boss Ye struggled and stretched out his hands, insisting that I pull him out.

I had no choice but to step forward, grab his hand, and pull him out hard.

Clinker, Boss Ye didn't know where he was trapped, and I didn't pull him out the first time.

"Oh my dear, you've smashed into a turnip pit, right?" I grumbled as I gripped his hand again. With the strength of my waist, I finally pulled Boss Ye out of the ground.

After Boss Ye stood up, I hurriedly looked at the place where he had just fallen in. I saw a huge hole in the ground. The width of the cave was obviously about the same size as Boss Ye's body, barely enough to pass through a person.

"There's a hole here, what's going on?" Confused, I took the lantern and shone it inside. But after the lantern has been consumed along the way, it is obvious that the candles inside are almost exhausted, and the light is much dimmer because of this.

I asked Boss Ye if he had a flashlight, and Boss Ye turned around and found a very small flashlight that was only half the size of my palm. I opened it and looked inside, barely able to see underneath, but still couldn't see the bottom of the cave.

"You save some use, I don't have much electricity here, I came out to be at night... Wake up at night. Then I didn't have time to change the battery. Boss Ye said embarrassedly behind me, "Why don't you take a picture with your phone." ”

To say that Boss Ye is a crow's mouth, a few seconds after he finished speaking, the small flashlight flashed a few times, and then went black.

"I'm afraid the light of the mobile phone can't shine down." I gave the flashlight back to Boss Ye with a melancholy expression. Also, we didn't plan to go to the tomb at all this time, so naturally we didn't bring any tools, so we rushed over, and it was also appropriate to find a flashlight at this time.

I breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around, and after I fell, I didn't even have time to take a good look at the place, and I don't know what was going on here.

After a brief observation, I realized that this was just a "foot stack", a place for some tomb robbers to dig halfway through and make a temporary rest and transit. This kind of punching method is generally rare, and if I remember correctly, no one used it after the Southern Song Dynasty.

Before the Southern Song Dynasty, the foot stack was only used in places with too much rain in the south. Because of the imperfect tools for tomb robbery at that time, coupled with the humid environment, one would be buried under the soil if he was not careful. It is necessary to engage in such a foot-to-foot transfer. Later, with the addition of new ways of making holes and the improvement of tools, this footstack also disappeared.

I didn't expect to see such a unique way of making holes in my lifetime, and I couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

"So you said this is the footstack, and that's where I just sat on it, isn't it?" Boss Ye walked over, glanced at the hole, and then scolded, "Damn, who is going straight down the hole, how can this go down!" ”

Boss Ye's question stopped me, indeed, there is more than one unreasonableness here. For example, when we stepped on the empty place just now, I deliberately glanced up before sliding down, and it turned out to be intact. It's weird, if they didn't dig a hole from above, then how did they get down?

After hearing my doubts, Boss Ye guessed: "Could it be an anti-theft hole?" They came down from the other side and dug up from here? ”

"Probably not." I shook my head, "It's the other way around, and this hole shouldn't be straight up, right?" Isn't it weird? ”

"Indeed, why don't you ......," Boss Ye said, "Why don't we go down and have a look?" ”

This is the only way, otherwise we will have to go back the way we came. So, I nodded and motioned to Boss Ye to go down first, otherwise he would get stuck on this, and I might not be able to rip him off if he was below.

Seeing this, Boss Ye took off his backpack, then took a deep breath and flipped into the hole.

"Eh, it's stuck, you can help me." As soon as Boss Ye put himself down, he shouted loudly.

As I expected, I wiped my face and stepped forward to push him hard into the hole. After tossing and turning like this for a while, Boss Ye was finally pressed into the hole by me and slid all the way down.

"Alright, I'm down." After a scream, Boss Ye shouted below.

I answered, first dropping the two backpacks. Then he took a deep breath and flipped into the hole. As I was about to jump down, I suddenly felt as if something was above my head. Just as I was about to look up, a horrible scene appeared, above my head, the passage that led us down, and there was a pair of eyes staring at me at the entrance of the hole.

For a moment, my mind went blank, and I didn't know when I let go of my hand or how it fell. It wasn't until Boss Ye came to help me that I came back to my senses: "Boss Ye, there is someone up there!" ”

"Someone? You're dazzled, right? Boss Ye raised his head and glanced up, "What kind of person is there?" ”

"Yes, I see a pair of eyes up there!" I muttered.

Suddenly, there was a "boom" sound from above, followed by piles of dirt falling from above.

", what's going on up there? Mudslides? Boss Ye said, pulling me up, "Let's go, there's a mudslide up there." You don't want to be buried here, do you? ”

I nodded, and reacted. Turning around and grabbing the bag on the ground, he followed Boss Ye in three steps and two steps, running in the only direction.

Not long after we ran out, there was a heavy sound behind us of something falling to the ground—the dirt had buried the hole......

I don't know how long I ran, I panted and grabbed Boss Ye: "It's almost, damn it, why did you suddenly rise to the top?"

"I don't know, I just looked up, and it exploded." Boss Ye also ran for a long time, and at this moment, it is estimated that he has reached the limit of physical strength, and he collapsed to the ground regardless of it.

I gasped for breath a few times, and then I felt a little relieved.

"Boss Ye?" I looked at Boss Ye on the ground. However, under the faint light of the mobile phone, I saw that Boss Ye was lying on the ground, densely covered with footprints.

"Boss Ye, get up." I said softly, but Boss Ye was lying on the ground and didn't dare to get up.

I had to repeat it again, and Boss Ye reluctantly sat up: "What's wrong?" What's the matter? ”

"Don't move, don't move." I pointed under him, "There are a lot of footprints down there." ”

Boss Ye sighed, glanced down, and then quickly stood up: "Good guys, I'm afraid these people haven't been down for a long time?" ”

By this time I was half-kneeling on the ground, studying the footprints......
