Chapter 11: The Bottomless Pit
I took a deep breath to stabilize my mind, staring at the lump of mud that had fallen above my head, silently calculating.
When the clod of dirt was about a meter above our heads, I violently pushed my waist and turned around in the air and kicked up, everything was between the lightning and flint, and it was too late to tell Tang Xi, she hugged my shoulders and hung in the air.
The mud was kicked to the side, I turned around and grabbed Tang Xi, rubbing the iron hook on the mountain wall with the iron hook on my sleeve, this is my special sleeve, there is an iron hook at the cuff position, the iron hook is sewn together with the sleeve, the function is to stabilize the body in some situations.
"Hold on, I'm going to jump!"
"Uh-huh." Tang Xi closed his eyes nervously and nodded, after speaking, I kicked my foot on the wall at the right time, and the two of us flew out to the side, a tree slanted down the rock wall in front of us, a relatively thick tree, which should be able to withstand the two of us, this is also the thickest tree I have seen for a long time.
I propped one arm on the tree first, and then half of my body hit the tree, cushioned for Tang Xi, I didn't care about the pain in my body, and hurriedly stretched out all my two hands to hug the trunk, and the tree swayed and slowly stopped.
"Whew!" I took a deep breath and opened my mouth to drink two sips of rainwater, comfortable! It's sour, it's finally stopped, and if it really falls straight down, it's not enough to end the calf.
I turned my head to look at Tang Xi, she was still tightly closed, as if she was using the greatest strength, "How about it, isn't the sting exciting?" I asked her with a smile.
She slowly opened her eyes and wiped the rain from her face, glancing around, "Huh? Stopped? It's not too exciting, Brother Hu Fei, you touch it, my heart is still pounding, I thought we were going to fall into a big meatloaf, Brother Hu Fei, you are so amazing! The little girl looked adoring.
"I don't have any free hands, why don't you get off me first, I'll help you up, you sit on the tree first, my shoulder just hit hurt." I was still carrying her in the air, and it hurt to hit my shoulder just now.
"Hey, I forgot!" Tang Xi smirked and hurriedly grabbed the trunk of the tree, I gently helped her with my shoulder, and she stepped on the tree and sat down against the cliff.
"Brother Hu Fei, do you have a sore shoulder? Which side? I'll rub it for you. As soon as she sat down, she was eager to rub my shoulders for me.
"It hurts, you stupid girl, wait for me to come up first, if I can't catch it and fall down, even the rope will take you down." When she touched my shoulder, it hurt even more, it should have been swollen and bruised, and the more I pinched it, the more it hurt, a stupid girl.
"Hey, I forgot." She hurriedly pulled me up, but I did not dare to go to the middle of the trunk for fear of crushing the branches.
When the rain subsided, we shrank on the roots of the tree, I wiped the rain from my face, and looked at the bottom, it was not very high from the bottom, there were about sixty or seventy meters of forehead, and the rope we brought should be enough.
"It's not an option to stay in the tree, let's go down first." After resting for two minutes, I hung the rope on a thick branch next to the root of the tree, grabbed the rope to make sure that the hook was tight between the branch and the branch, I grabbed the rope first and slowly slid down.
After sliding for about thirty or forty meters, I saw a cave on the wall of the cave under my feet, almost one person high, and someone like me who was more than 1.8 meters tall should bend down slightly.
How is there a cave in such a high place? The cave is still more than ten meters away from the bottom, there is a cave, just to avoid the rain, even if you go down, you have to find a place to shelter from the rain, just rest in the cave,
I landed in the middle of the cave and looked inside, it was very dark, and I couldn't see the bottom, I didn't know how deep the cave was, I shook it lightly and stepped on the edge of the cave, and then walked in.
"Huh? Brother Hu Fei, are you still there? Why can't I see you all of a sudden? "Can't see me, Tang Xi shouted worriedly from above.
"It's okay, I'm here, I've found a cave underneath."
"What cave?" Xiao Nizi asked stupidly on it, and I smiled helplessly, which made me how to reply, "It's a cave, you'll know when you come down." ”
Untied the rope and walked two steps inside, I took out a flashlight and shone it inside, the cave seemed to be very deep, I don't know what was in the depths, I walked two steps inside and didn't dare to go inside, the cave was very deep, it would not be finished for a while and a half, in case something was delayed, I was afraid that Tang Xi would be afraid if he waited too long on it alone, and when I came down before, we untied the rope, the rope was not so long, she was alone on it in case there was any accident It would be worse, I was a little uneasy, There shouldn't be any danger in this cave, at most it's a bit of miasma or something, and there shouldn't be any beasts at such a high level above the ground.
I hurriedly walked out and gently pulled the rope, "Little Nizi, you come down, be careful!" Check the hook there first. ”
"Uh-huh, okay."
I poked my head out and looked up, Tang Xi carefully clumsily came down from the tree, and then slowly slid down, I gently tugged on the rope below, and gently caught her when she came down.
"Wow. I've never seen a cave of this size. "Little Nizi is new to everything.
"What's in there, let's go inside, shall we?" Tang Xi looked a little excited.
I rubbed her hair, "Let's take a break and get something to eat." ”
"Oh, I forgot if you didn't say it, I seem to be really hungry." Xiao Nizi should have been too nervous for half a day, focusing all her attention on something outside, and naturally she couldn't pay attention to her own needs.
When we came down, we brought a lot of simple food, all of which were high-calorie.
The two of us sat at the entrance of the cave and ate, watching the heavy rain outside in the forest, the dense sound of raindrops hitting the leaves, looking at the scene in front of you, you can empty everything in your mind, forget everything, as if there is only you in the world at this time, and the person in your heart, this feeling is very wonderful, very beautiful, a feeling of quiet years.
I came back to my senses and looked at Tang Xi quietly for a while, she looked out blankly, slowly nibbling on a piece of bread on her mouth, I ate some dried meat casually, at this time I can save as much as possible, I don't need to eat too much, just don't be hungry.
"Come here, let me tie the rope to you." Tang Xi's piece of bread hadn't finished eating yet, and she was still gnawing it, so I walked over and gently tied the rope around her waist.
"We're all down, what are we doing with the ropes? I'm afraid that someone will steal me. She said as she turned her head and gnawed.
"Of course, if there are any savages or something in this mountain, a little girl like you, they like it the most, be careful to capture you as their wife." I joked with her.
"Am I that stupid? As far as the IQ of those savages is lost, I'm not afraid, this girl punches them all away, I will follow you well in a while, you can't lose it if you want to. She said that she didn't stop me from tying the tie.
"Now let you decide, I'll listen to you, will we go to the cave first, or will we wait for the rain to stop and then go straight down to the bottom of the valley?"
"Of course I'm going to play in a cave, I've never played in a cave before, and it's not interesting to wait for the rain to stop."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
We rested for a while, I took out the two masks I had prepared, there were no gas masks, only this, if there was any poison gas in the hole for a while, these two masks could also support us to withdraw.
"Okay, this girl officially announces that our cave adventure team is officially established, this girl is the captain, you... Be.. That one.. It's a member, everything has to be up to the captain, let's go now! Salute! Tang Xi stood up straight and said solemnly, and raised his hand towards me after speaking.
I smiled and followed, and I secretly hung a knife on the side of my backpack, ready to pull it out at any time, in case something unexpected was in the cave.
It's very dark inside, we both turned on the flashlight, we brought this high-power outdoor flashlight, there is still a lot of power, and there are several spare batteries, there should be no problem, enough, this time it should not be able to use the flashlight often, this cave is so dark is just an accident.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I finally saw the wall in front of me, but it was just a small bend, after turning the corner, there was still a bottomless cave behind me, and I couldn't hear the sound of rain and wind outside, and the cave was very quiet, very quiet.
"Brother Fei?" Walking here, Tang Xi was already a little scared, and he didn't have the appearance of the arrogant captain before, and pulled me tightly with one hand and called me.
"It's okay, I'm here, let's walk slowly, this cave is also a little strange." The walls on both sides of the cave wall are very smooth, but they don't seem to be artificially created, and they don't smell any strange smell or poisonous gas, and the air is also very clear and clear, with a faint fragrance of earth.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I had no concept of the surroundings, I felt that the road I had been walking was exactly the same, and I couldn't completely raise my head in it, not very comfortable, and my mood was a little inexplicably irritable. I adjusted my mood and scratched the wall next to me with a flashlight, trying to leave a mark, but what I didn't expect was that the flashlight didn't leave any marks on the cave wall at all, and I tried to scratch it with the iron hook on my sleeve, but it still didn't leave a mark.
"What kind of stone is this? So hard? "I'm a little puzzled, if it's the same stone as a mountain, shouldn't it be so hard?
After five or six minutes of walking, I tried to scratch again, but there was still no nick, and I began to think that only the part I had just made was so hard, and it didn't seem that it was, the whole cave wall was so hard.
Something was wrong, and if I went further, I still couldn't get out, and from time to time I would turn around, at first I was still calculating where the location of the cave we walked into was equivalent to the Lone Peak Mountain outside, but now I can't figure it out at all.
Tang Xi was also a little impatient, this cave exploration was not at all like she imagined, there was no dangerous and wonderful thing to explore, only a bottomless cave, only non-stop, non-stop.
"Brother Hu Fei, have we entered a bottomless pit?"
