Chapter 81: Voice
Before Ma Ming could answer me, Wang Feng replied to me loudly: "This is a stray cat near our construction site, I have always been feeding it, don't look at it as a black cat, it is actually very dear to me, I may have liked you just now, Brother Shen, you are a little timid." ”
I smiled awkwardly and tried to ease the embarrassment: "Oh, I'm just a little scared of cats, that's normal." ”
After saying that, he followed them and walked into the cave, and when he entered the cave, everyone had a flashlight in his hand, and it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, and we had to take the flashlight and keep our eyes open to see the situation under our feet, in case we stepped on something, it would be bad, according to my experience of reading so many tomb robberies, if I stepped on something poisonous, then I would be poisoned and die within twenty-four hours.
Thinking of this, I was furious, and quickly followed.
Ma Ming, as the leader, must be standing first, Chen Bei is in the middle, Wang Feng is in the third, and I am in the last position.
And when I walk, I always feel that there is someone behind me, so I feel very uneasy, and from time to time I have to look back to see if there is anyone, and besides, I am still in such a cave, I don't dare to look back at all, I am afraid that as soon as I turn my head, I will see a female ghost with a cloak following me, and by the way, she will pull her hair and smile at me gloomily.
The walls around the cave were covered with moss, and because there was no sunlight in it, the ground was damp, even the top floor, and every now and then a few drops of water would fall on the ground, and if I was lucky, it would even drop on my head.
But my mind is not on these moss, I just want to hurry up and follow the people in front, if I fall behind in such a place, it will be miserable, it is dark here, and I am the first time to come to such an ancient tomb, I have no experience at all, I can only follow Wang Feng in front of me.
I don't know why, I always feel that Wang Feng's calm appearance is not like his age, compared to me I am like a child, he is very calm no matter what happens, like walking here now, his pace is steady, his eyes have been looking ahead, and he has not looked back, even if he speaks, he has not been distracted, looking at the back I feel like another person.
I poked Wang Feng's arm curiously, he looked back at me, still with that expression, his appearance is very well-behaved and cute, even I like it very much, at first glance he is a very sensible child, he looked at my appearance and asked with concern: "What's wrong Brother Shen Yi, are you more afraid of walking in the last position, if this is the case, I can change it with you." ”
This person is not only well-behaved and cute, but also so sensible, my mood changed instantly, and I said with a smile: "It's okay, it's too boring to walk here, I want to talk to you, I didn't finish asking the questions in the car at the beginning, did something happen to your family, just came here to work?" ”
Although I asked this out of curiosity, the most basic reason is to help Wang Feng, after all, such children are rare now, although I don't have much money myself, but looking at this child has a feeling of familiarity at first sight, and appropriate help is still good.
Wang Feng's face became ugly, but he still smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, it's just that my grades were not good when I went to school, and I didn't go to school anymore, anyway, I have to work to make money and enter the society in the future, it's better to come to this place and endure more hardships, as long as I can endure hardships, I can do anything after that." ”
In fact, what he said also made some sense, and I quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to mention this on purpose, I just think that a child like you is very likable, and I want to help you more, if you don't mind, I won't say it." ”
Before Wang Feng could answer me, Ma Ming turned his head to look at me: "What are you muttering, hurry up and keep up, I won't be able to help you if you fall behind." ”
I quickly followed Wang Feng to the front, we have only walked a third of the way so far, and there is still a long way to go, I took a flashlight to shine on the ground, and from time to time to shine on the top or on the wall, to see if this place is similar to what is written, there are a lot of strange things.
Just as I was holding a flashlight and shining indiscriminately, I suddenly saw a pair of red eyes, but it was only a flash, and I really saw it clearly at once, the red eyes were at the top, as if they were on the top of my head, and the eyes were not big, like the eyes of animals, but whose eyes would be red?
I quickly rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't mistaken, but when I opened them again, I couldn't see anything, nothing was empty above me, except for the occasional drop of water falling on my head.
Ma Ming saw that my appearance was a little strange, so he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you, look at you in a panic, as if you saw something." ”
Now if I say it, I guess everyone will feel scared, but I still don't say it until I confirm it, so I shook my head: "It's okay, I just think the water droplets on the top of my head are too annoying." ”
He hummed and continued to lead the way.
I still felt a little panicked in my heart, so I watched it overhead intentionally or unintentionally, and it lasted like this for five minutes, and I didn't see anything unusual, so I kept convincing myself in my heart: "What I just saw is absolutely fake, it must be an illusion, otherwise why would it have disappeared after a glance, how could there be red eyes here." ”
So I continued to walk forward with the flashlight in my hand, and then took the flashlight to shine upward, at this time I not only found a pair of eyes, but also several pairs of red eyes around, which seemed to have been staring at me, I was trembling, the flashlight in my hand was almost thrown on the ground, this time it was not like an illusion, if it was an illusion, how could there be so many cool eyes staring at me all the time, and it didn't disappear.
I took a flashlight and shone it at the upper pairs of eyes, pointed at them and whispered, "Do you see, what the hell is this?" ”
Ma Ming looked at the top of his head in the direction of my finger, he saw those pairs of red eyes and immediately panicked, turned back to us and said loudly: "Hurry up and turn off the flashlight in your hand, no matter what sound you make, don't make a sound, as long as this thing flies out, you will quickly lie down for me, do you hear!" ”
I don't know why he was so flustered, but I could only do what he wanted, I quickly turned off the flashlight in my hand, and the others were the same, the originally brightly lit cave instantly became pitch black, I couldn't see anything, I could only rely on my instincts to walk forward, and no one could see where those pairs of red eyes were.
And Ma Ming also reminded us, no matter what we encounter, we can't make a sound, although I'm panicking in my heart now, but I can't make any sound, I just leaned against the wall and groped and walked slowly, I could feel that Wang Feng in front of me was walking slowly, and I was a little relieved after confirming that I hadn't fallen behind.
At this time, there was a sound of chirping in the cave, although the sound was not loud but it had been echoing in the empty cave, and it also had an echo, this sound made me a little familiar, like a sound that only rats would make, I instinctively reacted that this is a sound that only rats make, and it is normal to have rats in such a place, as long as there are no poisonous snakes or centipedes or something, I can still accept it.
I didn't take it seriously, and continued to grope my way forward, at this time the distance had reached two-thirds of the way, and finally saw a little light in front of me, but I found that there was a group of unknown creatures flying above my head, this kind of thing fluttered around with wings, and the sound of chirping came from my mouth, and the sound I heard just now was made by this creature above my head, and I only relied on a glimmer of light to carefully observe what was on this head.
I was sure that it was the creature with red eyes and wings that I had just shone with my flashlight, and when I looked closely, I saw that it was a bat.
I can understand that there are bats in such caves, but the eyes of this bat are red, the mouth is very large as if it has mutated, the wings are also very large, and the body is small, but the belly is bulging, just looking at it is very strange, and the piercing sound has been echoing in my ears.
I frowned and covered my ears, not wanting to be affected by the group of bats above my head.
These bats are like they have no direction, they can only fly above our heads, like headless flies that have no direction at all, it is estimated that in such a dark place, it is impossible to use the eyes to catch the traces of humans, generally speaking, the eyes can only use the ears if they can't catch it, so there is a reason why Ma Ming doesn't let us make sounds.
I don't dare to make a noise in this situation, and the rest of the people are just like me.
We groped and continued to walk for a while, but the bat on our head kept following inseparably, but we didn't do it for a long time.
After ten minutes we finally came to the exit, and there was light in an instant, and the bats instantly found their gaze and made a more piercing sound, as if they were communicating, and then I heard the sound of wings fluttering, which was very loud, as if countless bats had flown over.
I turned my head to look overhead, and there were probably hundreds of bats flying around us, and it was like they were going to eat us.
