Chapter 520: Collecting Birds (41)
This made me have to give up the idea of moving the slate, so I had to say to Lang Gao, "The head becomes the tail, go back to Qiao's house." ”
He sighed and said yes, because the cave was so small, it was impossible to climb back to Qiao's house, so we could only rub our arms on the ground and lead the way with our feet in front, which made our speed much slower than before.
In this way, we 'climbed' about ten steps. At this moment, I vaguely heard a sound coming from the end of the cave, the sound was very strange, as if countless ghosts were whispering, which made people extremely uncomfortable, and for a while, the atmosphere in the whole cave became a little weird.
Na Lang Gao seemed to have heard this voice as well, and asked in a deep voice, "Chen Baxian, did you hear any sounds?" ”
I hummed and said, "It seems to be from the mouth of the cave, why don't we climb up and take a look?" ”
He thought for a moment and instead of answering my question, he asked me, "Do you hear the sound of flowing water?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and when I listened to it, it seemed that there was really a sound of water flowing, bang, bang, and the sound of water was a little urgent.
Not good, I said secretly, carrying a flashlight to shine it, and I saw a glimmer of light at the entrance of the cave, and a steady stream of water flowed downward, "Hurry up, hurry up, someone is trying to kill us." ”
As soon as Na Lang Gao heard my words, he scolded: "Numb/paralyzed, which one lacks morality, steals corpses and kills." ”
After scolding, he slammed his body downward, in this narrow hole, how can the speed of a person be faster than the speed of water, in less than ten seconds, the water came to us, making us wet.
I thought that the man was going to kill us in the cave, and the current would definitely be very strong, but who knows, the current is not very large, and it can even be said to be slow, which makes us can't help but exhale, and we don't dare to slack off, and the movements at hand are faster.
Soon, we slid to the bottom of the hole and crawled towards the other end of the hole, because we couldn't turn around, and because the position of that end was upward, our body showed a bit like walking upside down, which slowed us down a lot, and it was not an exaggeration to walk with an inch.
What to do? What to do? I am a little anxious, although the current is not small, but, at our current speed, the water will overflow sooner or later to the lowest place, once it overflows, the direction of the water will pour towards us, even if we are not drowned, the water pressure alone is enough for us, you must know that the hole we are climbing now is in the shape of √.
Only now, I understand why this hole was dug in this form, the person who dug the hole must have planned to use this √ shape to flood Qiao's house with water, if it was filled in the middle of the night, it was very likely that Granny Qiao and Joyce would be drowned alive with water.
Thinking of this, I immediately dispelled my suspicions about Joyce, there was no way, I saw the grass juice on the slate earlier, and immediately thought of Joyce's pill. And in the current situation, the person who dug the hole obviously wanted the lives of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Qiao family.
Made, who really lacks virtue, is not afraid of being split by thunder.
I scolded secretly, so I asked Lang Gao to hurry up, I must tell Granny Qiao the news, as for Su Mengke, I can only find it later.
As soon as Na Lang Gao heard that I told him to hurry up, he immediately became angry, and said angrily: "You don't want to be fast, I would have brought a rope down if I knew it." ”
In this regard, I was also drunk, and I did not speak, but after a few deep breaths, I shone the lowest place with a flashlight, and what puzzled me was that the water was still very slow, and the speed of overflowing towards us was even slower, and if I did not look carefully, it would even give people the illusion that the water had stopped.
What's going on? Could it be that the idle egg of the person who dug the hole hurts? Put so little water down to tease us?
With a little doubt, we retreated towards Qiao's house, about thirty minutes back, the two of us finally retreated, when Granny Qiao saw us, stood up, walked towards us, and wondered: "Why did you climb back along the hole?" Wet too? Got into trouble in the cave? ”
I shook the dirt off my body and was about to speak, when Na Lang Gao preemptively said, "Granny Qiao, someone wants to flood your house." ”
She was stunned, glanced at us, and asked puzzledly, "What's going on?" Who wants to flood my house? ”
Lang Gao shook his head, glanced at me, and said, "You come and tell Granny Qiao." ”
I hummed and told her what had happened in the cave, and told her my guess, and Granny Qiao was silent for a moment, and asked, "Are you sure the water is very slow?" ”
I nodded.
"How high have you climbed?" She asked again.
I thought about it for a while, the position of the cave was sloping, about 200 meters long, and the specific height was difficult to estimate, so I tried to recall the situation in the cave, and said uncertainly: "In terms of height, it looks like about fifteen to twenty-five meters." ”
As soon as Granny Qiao heard my words, she immediately went out, and we followed her out, and we saw Granny Qiao raising her head slightly, giving a thumbs up with her right hand, and her left eye slightly closed, looking towards the back of the house.
After looking at it for about ten seconds, she deflected her thumb to the left and then to the right, her dark color sank, and she muttered: "According to the height that Xiao Jiu said, there are only two families, one surnamed Shi and the other surnamed Ma, is it the Shi family?" ”
Hearing this, I frowned, why did I pull out another Ma family? I followed Granny Qiao's eyes and looked in that direction, only to see that there were two stilted buildings halfway up the mountain, and I didn't see it very clearly due to the distance. However, it can still be roughly seen that the two stilted buildings are a little different from the surrounding stilted buildings, and they look more magnificent and atmospheric.
"Which one is the Shi family and which one is the Ma family?" I asked Granny Joe.
She stretched out her finger and pointed to the stilted building on the left, and said, "That is the Shi family, and the one on the right is the Ma family, the relationship between the two families is okay, but the Ma family and my Qiao family have some differences in raising Gu." ”
"What is the relationship between the Ma family and the Su family? Is it possible that someone from the Ma family stole Su Mengke? I thought about it for a moment and asked the doubts in my heart.
"The relationship between these two families is average, not to mention deep friendship, they usually meet and say hello, among the younger generations, the Ma family has almost no contact with the Su family. In the opinion of the old man, the possibility of the Ma family stealing Su Su is very low. Granny Qiao explained, staring at the Ma family with a pair of eyes, and said to herself: "It is impossible for the Ma family to steal Su Su's body, and it is impossible for the Shi family to flood my Qiao family with water, how can such contradictory two things come together?" Could it be that the Shi family and the Ma family have come together? ”
Hearing her say this, I was stunned for a moment, is it really as Granny Qiao said? Did the two families come together?
Just when I was stunned, Granny Qiao spoke again, and she said, "By the way, Xiao Jiu, the wizard you saw at the wedding is from the Ma family. ”
