Chapter 12: The Mysterious Iron Gate

The island's climate has always been unpredictable, and it feels like spring, summer, autumn and winter can switch freely at any time. When the rain is like a torrent, it makes people shiver, and when the sun is shining, it is sultry and makes people suffer.

After we had our seafood lunch, the sun climbed to the highest point in the sky, and regardless of whether others wanted it or not, it spread its enthusiasm all over the earth like a hooligan.

Before leaving, Big Bear repeatedly told me that the toilet must be built stronger, and the quality of the work is almost unbearable with his tonnage, and I smiled and told him not to worry about it, and when the toilet is completed, he must be the first to leave the first traces.

Having said it, laughing back to laughing, the construction of toilets is still sloppy. I took Uncle Wei and the crazy and stupid beard around the camp to look for a suitable place to build. There is no shortage of anything else on this island, except for the tall and dense trees and weeds, and except for the clearing of the Boulder Camp, there is no need for a toilet at all. But the problem is that our camp, which will be our home for a long time, will certainly not be able to be solved on the spot by a tree or bush, but if it is built too far, it will pose a huge challenge to our excretory organs, and second, it is not very safe at night. After thinking about it, we chose a place about 100 meters away from the camp as a construction point.

After finding the construction site, we are ready to start digging a pit, according to Uncle Wei's meaning, we dig a big pit, and then lay a wooden plank on it, and dig a big hole in the middle of the wooden plank, the toilet is over, I asked him: "Then how deep do you say we dig appropriate?" ”

Uncle Wei thought for a while, "Well, with the number of our personnel, we must not dig too shallow, otherwise it will not be enough for a long time, but we can't dig too deep, because the accumulated filth cannot be removed, and if there is too much accumulation, half of the toilet will be smoked to death before it is finished." ”

I nodded, "It's better to dig two meters deep here, and then we can dig here if we need convenience at night, and then we will dig a deeper one farther away, and try to go there during the day, and when the two pits are filled, we will dig new ones." ”

Uncle Wei wanted to say something more, but it was a bit unappetizing to think about this topic again, and he was about to vomit out the lunch meal after chatting like this, so he just rolled up his sleeves and was about to dry.

Before this, Uncle Wei had already found a wooden stick to tie the sapper shovel to one end as a shovel, he just lifted the shovel, I stopped him, and then pointed to the beard and said: "Isn't there a ready-made free labor force, let him dig and do some work, even if it is a labor reform, maybe God will forgive him for his previous crimes as soon as he is moved, and he can be reincarnated in the next life." ”

Uncle Wei shook his head, with a reluctant face, how could he let a crazy patient do this kind of manual work, it was too cruel from a humanitarian point of view, but he consciously handed over the shovel in his hand.

The bearded man was worried that he had nothing to play with, and as soon as he took the shovel, he began to dig up without saying a word, and I pulled Uncle Wei to sit under the tree on the side and chatted about idle days, but it didn't take long for the bearded man to suddenly shout.

Uncle Wei and I hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see two closed iron doors exposed under the soil layer dug by the beard, and there was an iron ring on each of the iron doors.

What is this thing? I was suspicious for a while, and then looked at Uncle Wei, he was also confused, how could there be two iron doors buried in the ground on this island? And looking at the rust on the iron door, it should have been buried for a short time.

The bearded man threw the shovel aside, and reached out to pull the iron ring, and I hurried to grab him, what was under the iron door, no one knew, in case it was Pandora's box, it would be troublesome.

I asked Uncle Wei to go back immediately to inform the others, and then picked up the shovel and knocked on the iron door, and it was empty underneath! I frowned and went through everything I could possibly think of, and there didn't seem to be a very reasonable explanation.

Soon everyone else arrived at the scene, everyone looked at the two closed iron doors in surprise and curiosity, the big bear lay on the side of the door and looked left and right, and then said, "Old Han, this can't be an ancient tomb down here, right?" ”

I rolled my eyes at him, and then teased, "May I ask which one of the masters of the Tao would use an iron gate as a tomb gate?" Is it buried in the iron-walled children's wood, or is it buried in the King Kong gourd baby? ”

Uncle Song said: "It definitely won't be an ancient tomb, it's not deliberately waiting for someone to dig it when it's buried so shallow." And there are no ruins on this ground at all, and it is not Genghis Khan, so it is impossible to make it so hidden. ”

I said, "Uncle Song, you are also confused, although this iron gate looks rusty and mottled, it will not be something from too far ago, so you don't need to think about it at all." ”

Big Bear stood up and asked me unconvinced, "Then what do you say this is?" ”

I shook my head, "If you don't open it and take a look, no one knows what's underneath, but if there's something dangerous in it and you open it rashly, won't we make trouble for ourselves?" ”

Uncle Wei said: "But if we don't open it, what kind of thing is there near our camp, which is always a potential hidden danger?" Otherwise, we'll change places. ”

It is certainly unrealistic to change places, the open space near this boulder is the best camping spot, go deeper into the island, maybe there is a better place, but it may not be, the key is that everyone can't stand the toss, even if you change places after 10,000 steps, there is such a mysterious place on the island, we probably can't let go.

Thinking of this, I said to everyone: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, let's just open it and see, what kind of demons and monsters are in it, Miss Lin, you have a bullet on the load, and if something comes out in a while, you just shoot." ”

Miss Lin nodded, and then everyone scattered on both sides, and I and Da Xiong grabbed an iron ring and used enough strength to pull the iron door, only to see that after a struggle, with a creaking sound, the two dusty iron doors were slowly pulled open by the two of us.

As soon as the iron door was opened, Big Bear and I immediately stepped aside as agreed, and waited for a while, but nothing happened and nothing came out from under the iron door.

We cautiously approached the iron gate, and the sunlight shone down through the opening, only to see that there was an empty concrete floor as far as the light could see, and there was a stone staircase on the wall on one side of the entrance.

Anyway, the iron door has been opened, and there is nothing dangerous to look at below, so I didn't think much about it and was about to go down the stone stairs to take a look, but the big bear grabbed me and said in a chattering voice: "Old Han, you can't go down easily, we don't have candles with us now, what if we encounter danger?" ”

I looked puzzled, "What do you want candles for?" I'm just going to go down and take a look, and if there's no light down there, we'll go get a flashlight. ”

"But I read the book that if you go down, you have to light a candle in the southeast corner." Before the big bear could finish speaking, the bearded man on the side suddenly rushed over excitedly, pulled the two of us apart, and then climbed down the stone stairs with lightning speed.
