Chapter 10: Sambak
Bart's backpack has long been lost in which link, so on the way back, we try not to use flashlights, fortunately I have also walked the road above, where high and where there is a bump I have more or less impression, walking is also smooth, but this underground is too weird, we are both highly concentrated, there is nothing to say all the way, all with twelve points of spirit to observe the surroundings.
About two-thirds of the way through, Bart called out to me and pointed down.
"Little fourth brother, the big iron gate I mentioned seems to be down here, and the thing that slapped me may still be holding that pestle." Bart said to me with a sigh of relief.
"Don't open any pot and mention which pot, and go your way honestly." I muttered to Bart in a low voice, at this time, how could I care about the iron gate, I wished to get as far away as possible, I dragged him and signaled to leave the place of right and wrong.
After a few detours, I felt that the road was starting to go down, and I remembered that when I first came, the end of the uphill slope was the sound of the undercurrent, and after observing the direction of the undercurrent, I was sure that I was not wrong, and it would not be long before we were back in the dark space at the beginning.
As the descent became slower, I still didn't see the gloves and became anxious.
"Bart, you said that if Kang Bao didn't find it this time, and the gloves were lost, would it be considered a failure to the extreme?" The original ambition ended up in the end to the point where I lost my wife and lost my army, and I began to feel less and less confident in myself.
"Fourth brother, don't be pessimistic, we must be able to do both things this time, you can definitely find the gloves with a hundred hearts, I don't understand that even if there is a ghost, then what's the use of him pulling your gloves, is it a frozen hand?"
Bart made me laugh at what he said, too, although the glove is very useful and has many functions that I have not developed, but it can only be used by our Lin family, and others have eggs for me.
A lot of things are going around for myself, so people are much more relaxed, the pace is no longer so heavy, soon to the dark cave, I and Bart and I made a torch again, I glanced at him, Bart seemed to have palpitations, a little afraid to go in.
"Don't worry, with me, no one can stop us from going to the house to uncover the tiles when we were children, let alone now." Seeing Bart's concern, I tried to comfort him.
Bart took a deep breath and held it for a long time.
"Let's go."
This space is still the same, because there is no leakage on the top of the cave, so it is pitch black and there is no light, this time we deliberately slow down when we come in again, if the gloves fall here, it will be a one-time search, and no one wants to come down again.
The torch light had a limited range of exposure, so in order to save time, we split up to make sure that the two of us were no more than ten steps apart, and I searched and looked at Bart as I searched, and there seemed to be a lot of broken parts on his side, and the search was much slower than mine.
"Fourth brother, come here!" Bart called out to me, I hurried over, and saw Bart pointing to the wall, and I picked up the torch and leaned over to take a closer look, it was a thread.
"Why is it so familiar?" I can't help but wonder.
"Oh, isn't this just the light line of our old house." Bart tugged at it after speaking.
"! Other! "I was about to say don't move this thing, but before I could say anything, Bart pulled down as soon as he got up.
No way! Don't tell me I'm calling, I didn't see any reaction after waiting for a while, and my heart relaxed a little, and I turned my head to Bart and it was a chestnut pop.
"Can you stabilize the key next time, what if this thing is not a light line or a lead, let's go to the sky together?"
Bart scratched his head and smiled, "Didn't I wonder if there were lights and couldn't find some." ”
After serving you, I turned around and was about to continue looking, when I heard a loud "hammer" above my head, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
After the loud noise, the sound of gears began to turn, and I pulled Bart and ran back quickly, if I didn't run again, I was afraid that I would bury us alive.
"Sprinkling" fell for two or three minutes, I heard a crisp sound, like the sound of gear alignment, and then the falling ground began to be less, the sound also stopped abruptly, there was actually a beam of light pierced through the darkness and irradiated in, the strength of the light source illuminated most of the space, the whole closed dark space brought us a sense of tension and oppression randomly disappeared without a trace, we walked over and found that it was actually a large manhole cover like the mechanism, we just pulled the line to trigger the mechanism, the manhole cover general mouth will automatically open, It may be the reason for the perennial falling ground, and there is a small part of the well door that is not opened, as if it is stuck.
"Is that okay?" I exclaimed.
Bart couldn't speak for a while, this scene was too shocking, there was a feeling of unreality, like the secret base of aliens in a science fiction movie, it felt like a flying saucer would land in anytime and anywhere, thinking of this, I ran back to look at the line I just pulled.
This is too different from the movie, shouldn't such a boss be a handle or something to start, isn't it a bit too casual to just such a line?
"Brother?"
I saw a head suddenly poking out from the manhole cover, it was Naren.
Seeing that Naren was fine, Bart shouted excitedly at Naren, and a series of Mongolian words came out, I couldn't help but feel warm when I watched from the side, thinking of Uncle Zhou and my little sister who were far away in Wuhan, and it would probably be the same when I went back, it felt good to have a home.
Immediately after that, a small head popped out next to Naren, the man was wearing a thick down jacket and hat, and a pair of big eyes were looking down in a ghostly manner, and looked carefully, isn't this Yin Hesheng?
Why is she here? I was suspicious.,On the way to remember, the mobile phone suddenly had a signal.,Swipe to Yin Hesheng's QQ spaceThe latest dynamics are also in the Nai Ri Cave.,Why is it so coincidental? Isn't she here for a tourist, and here for another purpose?
I saw Naren quickly put down the rope from it, take care of me and Bart to come up quickly, we climbed up one after the other, Bart hugged Naren excitedly, making the little girl a little unaccustomed to it.
"Brother, you're about to strain me, why are you so clingy."
"Brother just misses you, I'm afraid something will happen to you, you don't know what happened to my brother down there." Bart was in tears, and a strong man became a monster in seconds.
I kept staring at Yin Hesheng, trying to see something on her face.
Pretty!
To tell the truth, I didn't see anything except for being beautiful, Yin He grew white and tender, big eyes and puffed spirits, plus the weather was cold, and the little face was red and puffy, it looked even more cute, Yin He Sheng was a little embarrassed to be stared at by me like this, don't turn your head and say, "Look at what." ”
"Look good-looking, what are you doing here?" I couldn't help but speak Hubei dialect, which was really comfortable.
"I'm just here to travel, I saw Sister Naren when I walked here, she told me that you and her brother have gone down to find someone, I see that she is a girl's family in this place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, so I am here to accompany her, who would have thought that it was you who went down." Yin Hesheng's eyes didn't dodge at all when she said this, it didn't look like a lie, and she was so beautiful, it was even more convincing to say it.
Naren also came over to help Yin Hesheng say good things for a long time, I couldn't help but have a big head, why is Naren this little girl so heartless, I told her everything, Yin Hesheng smiled and talked to Naren like two little sparrows, and put me and Bart two big men aside, Bart took out two bottles of wine from the bag and handed them to me, the two of us poured a big sip, the liquor went to the cold, and the body was much better in one sip, and the people were also in a lot of energy, Bart rummaged through it again and told me that the gloves were not in the bag, I've been mentally prepared for this situation, so there are no big surprises, and I can only tell Naren 1510 that we have to go down again.
Naren was not surprised as expected after hearing about our following situation, but was extremely calm, but Yin Hesheng asked this and that on the side, he always interrupted me.
Naren pondered for a moment, "You might have run into Sambak." ”
"Sambak?" I've never heard the name before, and it sounds like Mongolian.
"That's right! I didn't think it could be Sambak! Bart snapped his head and came to his senses.
"What's Sambak?" Yin Hesheng asked curiously.
"Sambuck is a kind of grass, it doesn't grow very different from wild grasses, that is, there will be small red spots on the leaves, this grass is a well-known evil grass on the grassland, and the legend is that it becomes a resentful spirit that dies in the grassland, and those resentful spirits that are not taken away by the immortal sky will eventually become Sambak, they specialize in deceiving passers-by on the grassland, and will turn into all kinds of things, either tempting you or driving you crazy, and finally wrapping the crazy people to slowly eat them." Bart's explanation is mysterious and mysterious, but after thinking about it, not to mention Bart, I myself felt that there was someone behind me twice, but when I turned my head, I also found that there was actually nothing, and it was very likely that my hallucination was generated, but this hallucination was too realistic.
"Then why are my gloves missing?" I hurriedly asked Bart.
"Aren't the gloves in your hands?" Yin He Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes.
I hurriedly lowered my head, and sure enough, the gloves were in my own hands, what kind of trick could make me still in a hallucination for so long, Bart was also surprised, rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it, if someone hadn't broken it, then we were already wrapped in illusion at this time, but Bart's bag was indeed missing, but his big movement, it is not ruled out that he got rid of it.
"Little fourth brother, you said that you feel that there is someone behind you, maybe Sambak is near you, so it feels very strong, but I have also heard this thing talk about the old man in the forest area, and I have never met it." Naren gives me full marks for this wave of analysis.
"Eternal God blesses, everyone is safe and sound, and nothing is lost, let's set off and go back." Bart hurriedly proposed.
The two of us have already discussed this matter when we came back, and Naren was a little unwilling to find Kang Bao, but when he heard that it was so dangerous below, he agreed to leave because of the overall situation, leaving one Yin He Sheng, who was not a member of the team in the first place, and what ideas the little girl could have, she also nodded.
Now that the ticket was approved, we began to pack our bags and prepare for the return trip, and although this trip to the grassland was full of regrets, it seemed that this was the only way to go.
I put my bag on my back and looked at the three busy people and couldn't help but sigh, I took out a cigarette and prepared to light one, and when I touched the lighter, I felt a little trance for a moment.
Settled, I found that there was nothing in front of me!
Cold sweat soaked my back in an instant, and it was all an illusion?
"Little Fourth Brother! Little Fourth Brother! A faint call came from in front of me, and then the shouts became louder and louder, as if the whole world was this voice, I couldn't help but feel a splitting headache, and the scene in front of me began to blur, and when I opened my eyes again, Bart kept shaking my shoulders, and Naren kept blowing on me with something on the side, and what was the yin? Yes, Yin He Sheng was squatting next to me smoking, and Shui Lingling's big eyes were looking at me with concern.
"What, what's going on?" When I woke up, my mouth was abnormally dry, and every time I said a word, my throat and eyes seemed to be cracking, and my hands were soft, so I could only reluctantly point to the kettle next to me, Naren saw this and quickly picked up the kettle and fed me a little, and the cold water flowed down my throat into my stomach, which was relieved.
"Fourth brother, are you better?" I saw Bart's worried expression very clearly.
I nodded reluctantly, my body was weak and I couldn't even squeeze out a smile on my face, but my mind began to spin rapidly, is this another hallucination? Where the hell am I? Are these all hallucinations now? I tried very hard to look around and the people in front of me, there is nothing different, the real can't be more real, but the scene just now is also very real, even the feeling of stinging my throat after drinking the liquor is not realistic, thinking of this I have begun to discern what is real, as if the world is fake, even I am fictional.
I glanced at my right hand, and sure enough, the gloves were still there.
I motioned for Bart to come over and say something to him, and with my right hand I flicked the safety bolt on my thumb, and the diamond thread nail of the glove popped out silently.
Before I could do anything, I heard Bart frown and take a step back.
"Fourth brother! What are you doing! ”
