The oil rat felt a pang in his heart, and he couldn't help but admire, this kind of person's stunt of catching rats, it seems that he can't starve to death, no wonder he has no fear, it turns out that this person is not someone else, it is me.

Seeing me standing beside him, the gas guzzler didn't know when he came over, he was a little frightened in his heart, looked at the mouse in his hand, swallowed and foamed, "Big brother, good skills, you eat, I'm not hungry." ”

I caught the food in my mouth, and the oil rat had to be a favor.

I was so angry and amused that I reached out and threw a few turnip-like things in front of him, "If you really like to eat mice, I don't object to it." ”

The oil rat thought that he had dropped a bomb, so he couldn't help but take two steps back, and when he saw what it was, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, took two steps forward, hugged the things on the ground in his arms, took one and stuffed it into his mouth, his mouth was full of things, and asked vaguely: "Big brother, where did you find these tiger gingers?" ”

Tiger ginger is also called yellow essence, or chicken head ginseng, originally used for medicinal purposes, but the rhizome is edible, and has the effect of strengthening the body, I lost it is three or four, at this time it is undoubtedly more precious than gold.

When a tiger ginger was half eaten by an oil mouse, he suddenly thought of something, and smiled at me with a curtive smile: "Look at me, I'm really hungry, big brother, why don't you eat some too." ”

Having said that, he hugged a few tiger gingers tightly, without the slightest intention of letting them out.

"I'm not hungry," I shook my head, "you hurry up and eat, and get rested, and we're about to go." ”

Sitting and looking at the tiger ginger in his hand, the oil mouse's Adam's apple moved up and down twice, but he still resisted the desire to continue eating, and said with a wry smile: "Let's save a little, big brother, where did you find these, how many are they, enough for us to eat." ”

After looking at the tiger ginger in his hand, there was still some dirt, and the oil mouse secretly said in his heart, it was difficult for me to pull it out, how could he not get lost? He knows the environment here, how come he has never seen such a thing?

"How long will it take?" I looked at him for a while, "I wonder you want to live here for the rest of your life?" ”

"Of course not," replied the oil rat hurriedly, "who wants to stay here is grandson." Suddenly his heart moved, and he vaguely guessed something, "Big brother, there should be a treasure here, you ......"

"Do you want treasure or death?" I said lightly, "I'm ready to go out, if you are interested in continuing the treasure hunt, I will definitely not stop you." ”

"Get out, get out, of course." The oil rat said repeatedly: "But how to get out?" Seeing that I was still carrying the white mouse, I couldn't help but say, "Throw it away, since we have something to eat." "When I think of the days when Ru Mao drank blood in the past few days, the oil rat only felt like vomiting when he saw the mouse, but he forcibly held back, who knows if he can go out, this bit of food can't be wasted!

"Of course it depends on this mouse," I looked at the mouse in my hand and smiled, "Don't you know, there are no mice in this maze, and if you catch a mouse and don't think about eating it all day long, you will probably find the exit long ago." ”

When the oil rat heard me say that there were no rats in the cave, he felt ridiculous and abnormal, and he wanted to refute it, how could there be no rats in the cave, but after thinking about it, he finally held back, and when he heard a sentence behind him, his heart was pounding, and he said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, what do you mean ......"

"In fact, animals have a natural instinct, which humans do not have or have but have degenerated, and this underground labyrinth is of course intricate for people, but rats will not get lost in it." I said slowly, but there was a little emotion in my heart.

In fact, many people still have this kind of instinct, but now it is becoming less and less, just like after human beings invented shoes, the resistance of the soles of the feet must be weakened, and the invention of cars, the ability of two legs has been weakened, and when human beings invent what spaceships, it seems that they can travel in space, maybe they will get lost on the streets they walk, and this evolution is good or bad?

"Big brother, you don't seem to be lost." The oil rat said cautiously, "It's just like a mouse," and when he said this, he felt a little disrespectful, and hurriedly added, "The rat is the same as you." ”

I laughed dumbly, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Since I am sure that it came in from outside, if there is no food in this cave, it is not stupid, it will not run here to die, and it will definitely go out to forage for food." ”

The oil rat's shriveled face glowed with excitement, "Yes, it can take us out!" Then a question came to mind, "Isn't this yellow essence in the cave, why can't it be found?" ”

I laughed, "Rats are forbidden in that place." ”

The oil rat originally wanted to test the location of the yellow essence stored, but he didn't expect that I was not stupid at all, so he answered himself with a pun, and smiled awkwardly, "But I'm an old arm and an old leg." If you let it go, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with this mouse. ”

I said lightly: "If there is a way, you can say it, as long as it is a good way, I don't mind accepting it." ”

The oil rat was shocked in his heart, this I am really smart, often others only say one sentence, he has already guessed the next words of others, if he does not say it. He left himself alone, and the possibility of wanting to go out was much smaller, not small, but almost none!

Without hesitation, the oil rat immediately took out a soft cloth from his pocket and pulled it, and it was unexpectedly tough, "Big brother." This is the guy I used to dig the grave to mop the soil, and it is very strong, even if it is loaded with stones and mud, it will not break easily. ”

I nodded, knowing that although this old ghost seemed to be a nest, Ji Fat Man and Gu Yi both respected him so much. Naturally, he has some ability and bottom goods, but he doesn't know that the oil rat is an old fritter, and although it is a dangerous business, he is very afraid of death. The guy on his body may seem inconspicuous, but it is extremely durable.

The oil rat pulled out a sharp knife, only the size of a thumb's belly, and I really couldn't see how many strange things this man still had on his body, but the things he prepared were very small and lightweight, and it seemed that from the point of view of weight, "I am going to cut this cloth into strips and tie it to the mouse's leg." Then big brother, you are good, hold this rope and walk slowly, my brother's legs and feet are not fast, and I hope you will wait for me. ”

He screamed one big brother after another, obviously in a hot way, for fear that I would disappear like a ghost, and at this time he already knew that this young man looked a little tenderer. The experience is simply older than that of an old man in his seventies and eighties.

I nodded. "Good idea, how are you doing now. Can you go? ”

"Yes, yes." The oil rat heard a trace of concern from my mouth, a burst of warmth in my heart, without saying a word, cut the soft cloth into strips, tied into a long rope, don't look at him as if he is old and dizzy, in the dark it is more delicate than the big tailor, a long rope is tied, handed over to my hand, light as nothing, of course, too heavy, the mouse can not be dragged, the oil rat obviously took this into account, and does not care, almost no rope buckle.

"Good craftsmanship." I gave me a faint compliment, and quickly tied the rope to one of the mouse's hind legs.

"Big brother, you can fasten it, don't let the rats break free." The oil rat was worried about it, this rat was related to whether they could get out, and he couldn't help but care.

"Don't worry, although my craftsmanship is not as good as yours, my means of tying people up are first-class," I laughed, "I think I tied six people with one rope back then, and none of them could escape." ”

The oil rat thought he was bragging, and smiled awkwardly, but after thinking about it, it didn't matter if he ran away, anyway, there was definitely more than one mouse, and it was a big deal to catch another one.

"Have you brought all the outfits?" I asked.

"Bring it all." The oil rat held Huang Jingdao, and thought to himself, not only did he bring it all, but also had more to eat, although these things were cumbersome, but now that he was killed, he would not let go.

I nodded, stretched out my hand and threw the mouse out, the oil rat almost thought that he was going to kill the mouse, and waited until I saw the mouse shaking the hair on its body unharmed, and ran forward with a smoke, the oil mouse was relieved, "Big brother, let's go too." ”

The oil rat trotted behind, although he himself said that he had old arms and legs, and his trotting was not much slower than that of a mouse, but although he ran fast, he couldn't help but be very strange when he saw me as if he was strolling leisurely, and he really didn't understand that I took a step easily, why he could only follow behind with small steps, but the mouse crawled fast and slow, sniffing with his nose from time to time.

"Isn't it hungry?" The oil rat looked anxious and asked.

I held the end of the rope and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will naturally find a way to find food if it can't find food, and the rations we bring are enough for a day, and it will definitely not survive us." ”

The oil rat originally wanted me to take more yellow essence, but I didn't mean anything about it, so I had to keep my thoughts in my heart, and begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother that I hoped that this mouse would go home soon and stop wandering here.

The two of them walked for a full hour, and they still spent time in the corridor, which was already out of the range of the oil rats, looking at the two and a half tiger ginger in their hands. The oil rat swallowed and foamed, and cautiously asked me in front of me, "Big brother, is it okay to ask something?" ”

"Say." I don't look back.

"Now how close are we to you to discovering Tiger Ginger? Can you still find it? "The oil rats are hungry and scared, and they can't do things accurately when they go out, and whether they can starve to death is the most concerned thing at present.

"Don't worry," I guessed his thoughts, "I'm afraid of death, too." Don't joke with your own life. ”

The oil rat blushed and muttered: "Big brother, I'm not afraid of death, I really can't die, I still have an eighty-year-old mother above me, I can't let my mother send a white-haired person to a black-haired person." ”

He looked at me and said 'oh' without looking back, and the oil rat didn't say much. But I feel a little proud in my heart, I seem to be soft-hearted, if there is an accident at that time, even if I don't look down on myself, I will definitely take care of myself for the sake of my mother.

The two walked for more than half an hour. The terrain is no longer flat, as if it is uneven, but according to the feeling of the oil rat, I feel that the terrain is getting higher and higher. The oil rat wondered in his heart, but he didn't know where he went, and after more than ten minutes, the oil rat almost thought that the rat was also lost and lost his direction, and I wanted to say something more, but I suddenly whispered, "Not good." ”

The oil rat saw that he had always been calm. It seems that the world is under control, even if he crawls out of the dirt, he is still very proud, and he is not shocked, and he is even more shocked when he hears him bad than when he hears the earthquake, "What's the matter?" The oil rat hurriedly asked, and seeing that I had stopped, the oil rat walked forward quickly, also stunned. A crack was made in the stone wall ahead. At the bottom of the crack was a fist-sized hole, into which the mouse had burrowed. Disappear.

The two looked at each other, the hole was so small, the oil rat was not a real mouse, how did they get out?

.................

Reaching out and pulling the rope, I laughed, "Your rope is really strong, the mouse is still there, but ......" looked at the size of the rope in his hand, "The rope you knotted just now is more than ten meters, and I only have one meter in hand, it seems that this mouse hole is really not shallow." ”

Seeing that I was still in the mood to laugh at this time, the oil rat couldn't help but admire, "Big brother, what should we do?" Now we seem to be walking higher and higher, not like underground. ”

"You're right." I nodded, "I think it's probably in the middle of the mountain, and since the rats can get out of here, maybe that side is the exit." ”

"How sure are you?" The oil rat couldn't help but ask.

"Not a single point." I said lightly: "Actually, in my opinion, there is no difference between ninety percent and one percent, if you don't try, it is half of the hope." ”

The oil rat gave a thumbs up, "Big brother, that's right, I've been an oil rat Liu Shu for most of my life, and I rarely convince people, big brother, you are one, I'll listen to you, dig and dig from here." ”

"If there's a guy, let's take a look." I don't think he's young, but I can't bear to let him do it alone.

"I'll try it first." The oil rat laughed, "Big brother, you have made a plan, in order to find food, find a way to do a lot of trouble, I don't have to make any effort, it's too unreasonable." ”

"Where's your shovel?" I asked a little strangely, I remember he said that there seemed to be a Luoyang shovel similar to that in the hands of Ji Fatzi, at this time I only saw him holding two and a half tiger ginseng, but I couldn't see where the tools were.

"Of course, yes, that's it." The oil mouse smiled with some pride, took out a cylindrical thing the size of a flashlight, and pressed it somewhere, and suddenly poked out a cylindrical thin stick in the front section, with a threaded shape around it, in circles.

"You did it?" I don't think it's a shovel when I see it, and there is no Luoyang shovel's unique soil extraction device at the front end.
