Xiangxi Shadow Chapter 32 Cave Horror (2)

I had those who had been shot with bows and arrows go through them again, and I didn't put my mind down until I was sure that everyone was not hurt.

I beckoned everyone to retreat to the edge of the square, and then discussed countermeasures with Qiu Yan and the others.

First of all, the second baby, originally I thought there was no danger here, so I didn't stop the second baby when he asked to enter the hole, and now it seems that I can't continue to take the second baby with me, if he has something to do, then how should I face the old man Peng?!

I told Qiu Yan to find someone to take the second baby back to the camp, first, for the safety of the second baby, and second, to let the second baby and the people who stayed in the camp make us some food, because according to this situation, we are afraid that we will not be able to explore the whole cave in one day, and we will be very delayed when we come and go, so it is better to set up a camp around the square, and then let the second baby and they send us down after they are ready to eat, so that we don't have to bring too much dry food.

Qiu Yan naturally agreed to my proposal, but Erwa quit, he had to follow us and continue to move forward, so I had to talk about it before I let people pull him back.

After solving the second baby, I turned my eyes to the lampstand in front of the stone door.

"We'll have to light those lights so we can see what's going on over there." I said.

Long Quan nodded and said:

"Brother He is right, this light is only enough for us to see the shadow over there, and in order to figure out the situation here, we must have enough lighting."

As soon as Long Quan's words fell, Xiang Wei stood up with a "swish".

"I'll go!" As he spoke, Xiang Wei snatched a torch and planned to walk forward.

Qiu Yan also stood up at this time, and she pulled Xiang Wei's back collar and almost pulled Xiang Wei down.

"Xiang Wei, what are you crazy about? You go? Do you have the skills of Long Quan? Do you have any skills? ”

Xiang Wei's eyes widened and he glanced at Long Quan and me, and his expression seemed to be greatly insulted.

"Skilled? Isn't it just practiced? I don't believe that such a little difficulty can stump me! ”

After Xiang Wei said that, he shook off Qiu Yan's hand, turned around and continued to walk forward.

"Xiang Wei! You're fucking coming back to me! Qiu Yan suddenly roared, stunned everyone.

I've been in contact with Qiu Yan for so long, and it's the first time I've heard her scold, and this almost roaring cry is too inconsistent with Qiu Yan's usual temperament.

I saw Xiang Wei open his mouth wide, looked at Qiu Yan in a daze, and finally lowered his head and walked back in a gloomy manner.

At this time, everyone held their breath, and the atmosphere became quiet and awkward for a while, Xiang Wei threw away the torch in his hand, and then sat alone on the side, ignoring Qiu Yan no longer.

Qiu Yan also sat down at this time, I saw that her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and after sitting down, Qiu Yan turned her face to the ground and did not look at Xiang Wei.

But it was in this quiet and awkward atmosphere that I seemed to hear a soft sound from the other side of the stone door, as if someone had knocked on the stone door with a stone.

I quickly glanced at the crowd to see if they had heard the sound as well, but after looking around, I noticed that except for Long Quan, who was looking at me in a daze, everyone else was staring at their feet as if nothing had happened.

After discovering Long Quan's gaze, I also glanced back at him, only to see that he shook his head at me, as if to suggest that I should not be quiet.

What do you mean?

I'm the team leader, I'm the decision-maker, you Long Quan still have to call me brother, why did you order me at this time?

But it immediately occurred to me that if I said it at this time, not only would I not be able to determine the source of the sound, but I might also scare these people away, and although I am responsible for the safety of these people, the purpose of our coming here is to solve these mysteries and scare people away, so aren't we here in vain?

So as a last resort, I nodded to the dragon.

"Brother He, although you are skilled, you are not as light as me, so let me go!" Long Quan got up, patted his buttocks, took a torch, and said to me.

Before I could speak, Long Quan had already walked out quickly.

I saw him running and jumping, shining with a torch and striking with a fir stick, and in a short time he was near the lampstand.

After the four lampstands were lit, the whole cave was much brighter, and I saw Long Quan look around the neighborhood and then jump back again.

"Brother He, I felt it when I went back and forth just now, there are still a lot of mechanisms on the ground, we must be careful, oh, by the way, I saw a few lampstands on the side of that wall just now, but I didn't dare to go over, you see~~" After coming back, Long said without taking a breath.

I nodded and said:

"Well, you're right that you didn't go over, let's not be careful, no matter how careful we are."

After speaking, I glanced back at Qiu Yan again, only to see that she was still in a daze with her hair down, and it seemed that she was still angry with Xiang Wei.

I walked over and sat down beside Qiu Yan and asked softly:

"Mr. Qiu, the big guys are all looking at you, what should we do next?"

Qiu Yan looked at me when she heard this, then stood up, she took a few steps towards the front of the square, and then asked:

"Long Quan, do you remember that there is a problem with those bricks?"

Long Quan shook his head and said:

"I can't remember which one exactly, but I still remember the general direction."

After hearing this, Qiu Yan turned to me again and said:

"Zimu, you and the dragon are all good, you have to rely on you to mark the problematic bricks, I also thought about it just now, from Xiang Wei triggering the mechanism to those bows and arrows shooting, there is a gap of more than ten seconds, this time is completely enough for you and the dragon to escape."

I was stunned, what is this? Isn't this a blatant double standard?

Guessing that future mechanisms will be delayed based on just one judgment? What if my foot slips in the middle of the process?

Xiang Wei scolded him back, and then pushed me into the fire pit? Just because I'm good? I'm so good at tricks, who is messing with whom?!

After Qiu Yan finished speaking, she turned around and went back to find something for us to use for the logo, and she couldn't see the sour look on my face, but it's okay, I also realized from this incident that Qiu Yan and I are in the final analysis an employment relationship, and naturally it can't be compared with Xiang Wei's childhood sweetheart.

At this time, I noticed that Long Quan was staring at me with a wicked smile, so I quickly changed my expression, and then pretended to look at the front of the square.

Qiu Yan touched for a long time and found a few markers for me and Long Quan, and the colors were different.

I took the marker and set off, Qiu Yan shouted a few times behind me, "Be careful" I ignored her, Long Quan ran back and took a trekking pole and handed it to me, and said with a smile while following me:

"Brother He, even if you are jealous, there is no need to take your safety seriously!"

I gave Long Quan a blank look, then stopped and asked:

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Long Quan immediately squatted down, pointed to the floor tiles in the square and said:

"Actually, this thing is also very simple, just now I stepped on a few loose bricks when I used to light the lamp, fortunately I reacted quickly, did not step on the bricks down, I see that the two of us will use sticks to try one by one, where there are signs of loosening, it will be marked."

I was still thinking about Qiu Yan's words at this time, and the method that Long Quan said was also simple and feasible, so I didn't bother to think about it, so I nodded in agreement.

So Long Quan and I were like two blind men, poking here and there, and we marked all the bricks that could be poked, whether they were mechanisms or not, but when we walked over and looked back, we found that more than half of the floor tiles on the road were marked, and the bricks that were not marked, Long Quan and I could easily come over, but the others were difficult.

There was no way, Long Quan and I had to find another way and walk again next to the marked floor tiles, but the result was still the same, most of the floor tiles were loose.

After walking over twice, Long Quan and I had already walked a third of the entire square, and Long Quan took a sip of water when he came back, and then planned to continue to explore the way.

I threw my hiking stick in front of the dragon and said:

"Don't go, it's in vain to go!"

After hearing my voice, Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei, as well as several other people, surrounded me.

"Listen," I tapped the floor twice with my hiking stick, and there were two hollow noises in the ground at once, and then I continued, "the ground is empty, and I reckon the whole square is empty, so most of the floor tiles can be poked, and you can't do that." ”

Just now, the two of us came all the way, and Long Quan should know all the information I said, so it seems that he has no opinion on what I said, but Xiang Wei stood up at this time and asked me stiffly:

"His method doesn't work, then you can tell me your method!"

I said in my heart that I haven't been angry with you yet, what are you going to do now?

But I didn't bother with him, but we are soldiers, we are soldiers of the people, and we still have this mind, a manly man, and I can afford to let it go.

I circled around the edge of the square twice, and I really couldn't think of a good idea.

If it's just me and Long Quan, it's naturally no problem, even if there is one more woman like Qiu Yan, or a child like Erwa, Long Quan and I may still be able to find a way to get over, but here are twenty big men, and we won't fly off the wall.

"No way," I said, glancing at Long Quan, "If you want us all to pass, you'll have to use your old way!" ”

Before Long Quan could reply, Xiang Wei quarreled:

"He Zimu, you're kidding, this method won't work for a while, and you'll have to use the old way for a while, you make fun of us!"

"Xiang Wei, don't say a word, everyone is trying to figure out a way!" Qiu Yan stood up and blocked Xiang Wei behind her.

After that, Qiu Yan looked at me again and asked:

"How do you use the old way?"

I sighed and said:

"I mean, try both sides of the same road with a stick, try to find a few safe pieces out of these loose stone slabs, and try to find a way that everyone can pass."

Who knew that as soon as Qiu Yan heard it, she immediately vetoed it:

"No, it's too dangerous, those marked slabs are already dangerous, aren't you taking a fire like this? I disagree! ”

Long Quan came over at this time and persuaded Qiu Yan:

"Mr. Qiu, Brother He's method is the easiest way and the most direct way, didn't you say it before? The trigger mechanism has more than ten seconds before the bow and arrow are launched, such a long time is enough for me and Brother He to react, don't worry, it's not dangerous! ”

Qiu Yan blinked, looking a little hesitant.
