Text Detective's Travels_Chapter 20 The Strangeness of the Ancient Mansion (20)
Everything has already been allocated. My biggest concern was what would happen to Rainforest and Wakahan on the road.
When Yulin and Ruohan drove away, I sat in the yard and smoked in a restless mood. And Charlie is ready to get the tools and everything that will enter that tunnel in a moment.
Charlie Ba looked at me and said, "Go ahead. . . Come and help. ”
I was thinking about things, so I didn't take Charlieba.
Charlie exclaimed, "Hey. . . What do you think ... ”
I looked back at Charlie and said, "What? You call me? ”
Charlie said, "I'll call you twice." What do you think? ”
I said slowly, "No... Didn't think about anything. ”
As I spoke, I threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out with my foot.
Charlie Ba looked at me and smiled, "Chimney-like." Look at the cigarettes you smoke. ”
I looked at the cigarette butts under my feet, and there were at least twenty of them. I smiled awkwardly at Charlie Ba and said, "No way, I started smoking in the third year of junior high school, and it's been five or six years now." I can't quit smoking. ”
Charlie Ba smiled and said, "It's not a question of whether you smoke or not. You're worried about the cold and the rainforest. ”
I looked at Charlie and smiled, "Sure enough, you still know me. . . ”
Charlie said, "But don't worry. Now Yulin and Ruohan both have driver's licenses, and there are no cars along the way, which is equivalent to practicing driving in a driving school. It's just that the road is a little longer. ”
I said slowly, "Driving is not child's play. Traffic accidents are often accidents caused by those who don't know how to drive. ”
Charlie said, "Okay. . . You can rest assured that you are moving forward. I guess that crazy woman in the rainforest is not dying, and she won't joke with her own life. Besides, there's Ruohan next to it.,It's okay.。。 ”
I nodded and said, "That's right... ”
With that, I'll help Charlie Tyrant sort out the tools he'll need for a while.
When everything is ready. Charlie Ba looked at me and said, "Then go down. . . I'm ready. ”
I said to Charlieba: "Charlieba, listen to me tell you something. ”
Charlie looked at me and asked, "What do you say?" ”
I said to Charlieba, "I'm missing and I feel like those three people were looking for something last night. And I have a gut feeling. ”
Charlie Ba said: "What kind of intuition, those three people should not have left. Maybe they've been watching us, they've been watching this house. But where are they. I don't know. ”
Charlie Ba said: "How can you feel like this. ”
I said slowly, "I don't know. It's just intuition ... Or maybe I'm too nervous. But I always felt that since the three people came to the house in the middle of the night, they also dropped the key to the tunnel in the house. I don't think there's a way they won't come back. ”
Charlie Ba looked at me and said, "Okay. . . The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. ”
I nodded and said, "It's better to be careful... ”
Charlie Ba smiled: "Got it. . . When it goes down in a moment. You're right behind me. ”
I nodded and said, "Okay... I know.. Feel relieved.. ”
Charlie Ba and I each wore masks. And he also brought a handbag, and Charlie Ba wrapped both of our heads with the expected tape. Although I don't know what it's for. But I know that Charlie Ba actually wants to do this, and he must mean it.
Charlemagne walked at the front, and I was behind Charlieba, and Charlemagne was shining at the front with a flashlight.
This tunnel goes all the way down. At first it was a step. After Charlie and I went down, we entered a space. It's a lot of space, and Charlie and I are shining flashlights back and forth with each other.
I saw several jars on the ground. But there was nothing in the jar.
I said slowly, "It seems that this should have been a cellar in the past, which was used to store some vegetables and liquor. ”
Charlie Ba said: "It seems that this is it. ”
I shook my head and said, "No. Those people are trying to kill me. Is it just to find this cellar? ”
Charlie Ba said: "I think there must be a secret room. ”
I nodded and said, "yes. . . Ordinary cellar, completely able to dig in the yard. There is no need to install such a mechanism in the hall.。。 ”
Charlie and I continued to smear and go inside. Charlie and I came to the front foot, and there was a wooden door, and Charlie said, "There's another door here." ”
I looked at Charlie and said, "Let's open it first." ”
Charlie Ba said, "Okay. . . ”
I took a few steps back and said to Charlieba, "Be careful. ”
Charlie nodded and pulled back hard to open the door.
It turns out that behind this wooden door, there is another space. In complete darkness, Charlie said, "It looks like this is another space. ”
I said, "Go inside and see. ”
Charlie Ba shone a flashlight on the ground, looking at the ground and seeing nothing. Charlie Ba continued to walk. And I was right behind Charlieba.
This space is different from the one just now. The space we just came down to, the ground is very flat. It is clearly carefully built, and the ground is made of stone. And now the space is all land.
Charlie Ba said: "I guess it must be the people who excavated here, and they haven't had time to rebuild this place yet. ”
I looked at Charlie and said, "Maybe there's a reason for that. ”
Charlie and I were in the current space, no smaller than just now, and we only realized it after we walked for a few minutes. The space here is far larger than the space just now.
We walked for a long time, and finally came to the end. At the end, there is actually a door. The door is made of stone. It is especially similar to the door in the ancient tomb.
I thought for a moment, "How can there be so many doors?" ”
Charlie took a closer look at the door. Charlie Ba looked back to me and said, "Go ahead. . . There is a gate here. ”
I said, "I see it. . . Let's see if there's a mechanism first. ”
Charlie and I carefully shone a flashlight, and there was no trace of a mechanism on this door, and I secretly said in my heart: It seems that this door can only be pushed open by brute force.
I looked at Charlie Ba and said, "Charlieba, you push it, try it." ”
Charlie Ba said, "Okay. . . I'll try. ”
I stepped back. Charlie Ba pressed his hands on the door and pushed it in. But Charlie Ba pushed for a long time, and the gate still didn't have any reflection.
I looked at Charlie Ba and said, "Let's push together." Try.. ”
Charlie nodded and said, "Okay... ”
Charlie Ba is on the left. I'm on the right. Charlie and I pushed the door hard at the same time. Charlie and I tried our best to feed, but I felt that the door was already moving.
I shouted, "Charlieba, exert yourself. ”
Charlie exclaimed, "I know. Don't you see that my sweat is all left? ”
Halfway through the push, we both had no strength. Charlie and I both took a few steps back.
Charlie Ba said: "Grandma's. . . This door. Even if it's small, it has to weigh a few hundred pounds. ”
I was already sweating at this point, so I wiped it and said, "yes. ”
Charlie said: "You have a waist injury, don't accidentally open the wound. That's a lot of fun. ”
I looked at Charlie Ba and said, "No way. Who told you that you can't push it away? I don't help.,Let the ghost help you.。。 ”
Charlie said, "Can I be blamed for this? When encountering such a laborious one, I can only think of a way. ”
I said, "Think of a way to yarn. Hurry up and push hard. ”
I switched things with Charlie for a long time and started pushing again. But it was still just a little bit of a push.
Charlie Ba said, "Grandpa's." This door is so laborious, how can the builders open it, how do they close it? ”
I looked at Charlie and scolded, "Less nonsense. Hurry up and push. ”
Charlie Ba said angrily: "Got it. . . Got it.. ”
Charlie and I don't know how long we transpired or how many times we pushed. It's been pushing in little by little.
Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Charlie Ba and I pushed hard one last time, and at this time the door had already entered little by little.
I shouted, "Charlieba, hard." It's about to be pushed away.。。 ”
Charlie exclaimed, "I know. Don't you see me straining? ”
Charlie Ba and I didn't just shout, "Ah... ”
With all the strength of our bodies, we finally pushed the stone door open.
Charlie and I don't have the strength to do it, and Charlie and I don't care if it's clean or not. Hurriedly sat down and rested.
Charlie scolded: "Rub it." The door was finally opened. ”
I also wiped the sweat from my forehead and said, "Not really. . . I'm sweating all over my body right now. ”
Charlie Ba said: "Grandma's I have long been sweating all over my body. ”
Charlie and I had to rest for at least ten minutes before we could stand up.
I said, "Charlieba, have you rested enough?" ”、
Charlie said: "It should be no problem. ”
Charlie and I entered this stone door, which was different from the space outside. The floor here is all made of stone. Even the left and right walls are made of stone.
Charlie Ba muttered and laughed, "Hehe. It's really interesting to build this place. ”
I asked, "What's interesting?" ”
Charlie said: "The outermost building is the cellar. In the middle, it's with dirt and ash. The tombs built here are yes. ”
I muttered to myself, "I feel weird too. Since the outermost cellar and this place are so neatly built, why is the middle space not built? ”
Charlie Ba said: "Who knows this... ”
As he walked inside, Charlie suddenly felt as if something was under his feet. Charlie Ba shone a flashlight and hurriedly shouted, "Forward." Look ... ”
As I spoke, I shone it with a flashlight.
It turned out that on the ground, there were several sets of white bones. And next to the white bones, there are several arrows used in ancient times.
Charlie Ba said: "Grandma's. . . It won't be so exciting. ”
I muttered, "Looks like there's a mechanism here. ”
Charlie Ba said: "I guess there are organs, there are organs. But the mechanism is basically a one-off. ”
I looked at Charlie Ba and said, "What do you mean by disposable?" ”
Charlie said: "The most direct to tell you." It's that the mechanism is installed when it is built. When someone enters here and accidentally steps on the device with the engine turned off, the weapon in the mechanism will be launched, but the mechanism is a mechanism after all, and the weapon of the device is launched, and in the mechanism, there is naturally no weapon. ”
I said slowly, "So that means that the mechanisms here are now all used up. We're safe now. ”
Charlie said, "I didn't say that, I see." This must be someone's graveyard, otherwise it wouldn't be so secretive. ”
I said, "Looks like we want to go together. ”
Charlie Ba said: "Since it is an ancient tomb, the construction of the mechanism must be indispensable. Maybe these people are unlucky and hit some traps. There are still some mechanisms that we haven't been waiting to encounter. It's already dead. It's also very likely that these are the organs here. Let them all be ... ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't think so. There will definitely be a mechanism inside.。。 ”
Charlie Ba said: "There is also this possibility. . . ”
I muttered, "Strange. . . Odd.. ”
Charlie Ba looked at me and asked, "What's weird. ”
I muttered to myself, "I remember someone said when I was in Zou County that this was the Chen family battlement in the past. ”
Charlie Ba said: "Is it the Chen family's buttress or not, what does it matter. ”
I said, "Chenjiaduzi is a village. When it was a village, it had already been reformed and opened up. That house is probably also built at this time... ”
Charlie suddenly realized: "Oh... That's right.. At that time, people were running around for a living. Who would come up with so many tricks. It's just. ”
I muttered, "I remember Chen Zhanfeng and the middle-aged woman in the restaurant in Zou County both said. This was deserted five years ago. Think about it. Five years ago was 2004. What time is it? Who would build such a. ”
Charlie said, "Not really. . . That's right... ”
I muttered, "It seems that this space may not belong to the owner of this house. ”
Charlie Ba said, "What do you mean? ”
I said, "Let's take a bold assumption." It could be that this owner was building a cellar at home, but stumbled upon the place. That's why it goes. Why was that cellar better built when it first came down? But after entering through that wooden door, the bad environment became very bad. But when you and I push open the stone door, it's like an ancient tomb. ”
Charlie looked at me and said, "Yes... It seems that your explanation is very reasonable. ”
I said, "No one has answered what is reasonable or not." The only thing to do now is to be careful. Maybe ahead,There's also a mechanism.。。 ”
Charlie said, "Got it. . . I'll be careful. ”
Charlie and I were very careful with the next step. And the speed of walking has slowed down. After all, when you know that there is an unknown mechanism ahead. Everybody gets scared. After all, a person only has one life. I'm no exception, and Charlie is no exception. Charlie and I both know in our hearts that no one wants to be a white bone on the ground.
We walked for more than ten minutes, and Charlie and I walked a long way. Since it is indeed larger here, and it is also darker. So we are all taking every step and looking around carefully.
After Charlie and I saw the first set of bones, we got to where I am now. We've seen at least thirty pairs of bones.
Charlie said: "It seems that there have been a lot of people here. . . ”
I said, "yes. . . So I'm even more sure now. This is definitely an ancient tomb. ”
Charlie said, "I really want to thank them. ”
I said, "Thank them for what. ”
Charlie said, "I guess. There are a lot of traps in this tomb. But all of them were tricked. Now there is no mechanism. And that's not thanks to them. ”
I muttered to myself, "People die for money, birds die for food." Nine out of ten of these people are tomb robbers. I didn't expect to die here. ”
Charlie Ba said: "Hey... These people don't deserve pity. ”
I muttered, "I don't know what those tomb robbers think. ”
