Chapter 1047: I Carry It Myself
When Zhang Jiusheng touched one of the slightly gray and black tombstones, he only felt that the ground under his feet trembled slightly.
He lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out.
Seeing the soft soil at his feet jumping happily, Zhang Jiusheng took a step back with his eyes open, only to see the soil under his feet loosening, and a hole slowly appeared.
The soil at the entrance of the cave was also slowly sinking into the darkness, the darkness was getting bigger from smaller, and the dirt was falling from less to more, Zhang Jiusheng took a step back.
Guan Chu happened to be standing behind Zhang Jiusheng, and when he saw Zhang Jiusheng taking two steps back, thinking that Zhang Jiusheng had touched something, he pressed one hand on the satchel and took a step forward vigilantly.
Crossing Zhang Jiusheng's shoulder, Guan Chu saw the hole that was slowly getting bigger.
"Here!" Guan Chu shouted.
Everyone looked at it.
Gu Li and Zhang Jiusheng were separated by several tombstones, only to see him put one hand on a tombstone, and as soon as he exerted his strength, the whole person stepped on the top of those tombstones and jumped over.
At this time, he didn't care what the deceased was, he just wanted to reach Zhang Jiusheng's side as quickly as possible.
As soon as his feet landed, Gu Li almost stepped on the air, but the hole had expanded a lot, he grabbed Zhang Jiusheng's arm, Zhang Jiusheng took advantage of the situation to support him and dragged him out of the hole.
A circle of people stood at the edge of the cave until the hole appeared large enough for an adult to pass through.
When Zhang Jiusheng swallowed his saliva, Guan Chu squeezed in from behind the pile, and was about to jump down directly when he saw it, but Gu Li, who was quick-eyed, grabbed his collar.
"What do you do?" Gu Li shouted angrily.
Guan Chu was stunned, and then hurriedly said: "My father is below, I have to save him!" ”
"Are you in a hurry?" Gu Li's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he pushed Guan Chu back fiercely.
Guan Chu withdrew two or three steps, his chest hurt sharply, as if he was punched in the chest by Gu Li, how could he have so much strength?
Then, before Guan Chu could scold, he saw that Gu Li had already jumped into the cave first, and Guan Chu also wanted to follow, but was pulled by Zhang Jiusheng.
"Your Excellency?" Guan Chu's eyes widened.
Zhang Jiusheng stared at the cave calmly and said, "You must know that this is a cave under the tomb, and it is difficult to keep the air in it thin, or poisonous, or there are mechanisms. Do you think you can deal with these things more than Gu Li? ”
Guan Chu was choked, and he couldn't spit out half a word from his mouth.
After a while, Gu Li poked his head out of it.
"Come down, be safe, leave two people outside to watch."
"Okay."
Zhang Jiusheng went first, Zhang Tong followed, Guan Chu and Tie Wan, and the rest of the catchers walked last in turn.
I thought that the road under the cave would be very narrow, but after coming down, I found that it was enough for one person to walk, but for these big men, it was indeed a little short, so I had to lower my head slightly, and after walking for a while, I felt that my neck was sore.
Fortunately, the air in the cave is not thin, but there are gusts of cold wind blowing in the face.
There is an end to this.
Underground, the light was dim, and the group only relied on the fire fold in their hands to see the way.
I don't know how long I walked, but a stone door blocked the way in front of me.
Gu Li first approached the stone gate with a fire fold, and shone it up and down, left, right, and right, and then touched the stone door with his hand, and the cold temperature was suddenly transmitted along the palm to the limbs.
"There's water." Gu Li's deep voice came from the front.
The people standing behind them couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts, and finally found a place.
But Zhang Jiusheng was always calm, he didn't feel that there would be Yun Sheng behind this door at all, and he couldn't detect any aura about Yun Sheng along the way.
The palms of his hands slowly closed in his sleeves, and he felt that he was about to lose his support.
Gu Li cautiously searched for the mechanism on the stone door, and suddenly buckled to a recessed place, and with a little force, he only heard a dull sliding sound, and the ground under his feet trembled slightly, revealing a gap in front of him.
But in that gap, there was no light, only a gust of cold wind coming in front of you.
There is also an almost inaudible sound of water.
"Who is it?" Suddenly, in the inky darkness, an extremely haggard ghost-like voice floated over, as if it did not fall to the ground, as if it was hovering overhead.
But only these two voices that couldn't be heard clearly made Guan Chu's eyes widen.
He felt a pain in his heart, and reached out to cover his mouth, and in his chest and abdomen, it was as if something was rushing wildly, almost breaking his entire heart hanging there.
In the darkness, the water waves were agitated, as if something was hanging in the middle of the water, his feet did not touch the ground, and the cold wind swept by, shaking his body as if playing.
The group stood on the shore, and by the dim light of the fire, they couldn't see who was hanging there.
But even so, it still tightened everyone's hearts.
"Daddy......" Guan Chu almost lost his voice.
The crowd was horrified.
At this time, Gu Li had already found a torch on the wall on one side.
When the fire was lit, everyone could see the man on the water, his whole body seemed to be covered with blood, and they didn't know how badly he was injured, only that he seemed to have just been fished out of the bloody water, and his face was unclear.
Because of the cold and windy inside the cave, blood ran down his head, some into the water, stirring up a terrible and painful wave, and some congealed on the man's hair, clump after lump, still dripping with blood.
Guan Chu couldn't help but take a step forward, and half of the soles of his feet were already immersed in the cold water.
Gu Li's expression turned grim, and he grabbed Guan Chu's arm and said, "We don't know if there is a mechanism in this water, or something else, don't get excited." ”
Rao is Gu Li, seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but be shocked.
originally thought that Guan Chu would get out of control, but he didn't expect him to wipe his face, and he really took a step back and retreated behind Gu Li.
The others also followed Gu Li's example and found torches on the walls, and after lighting them, almost the entire water prison was illuminated.
The uneven mountain wall, there are some fine holes overhead, those are really where the cold wind comes from, they shuttle through it, and from time to time make a slight whistling sound, if the stone door is closed, the people outside may not really be able to hear the movement of the living people here.
"I don't know how long I've been hanging like this, I have to get people down quickly." A few catchers behind him whispered.
Tie Wan stepped forward and said, "I'm wearing thick clothes, why don't you let me go into the water and carry Uncle Guan back." ”
Guan Chu waved his hand: "My father, I carry it myself." ”
Gu Li, who was walking in front, observed the entire water prison, and threw a few stones into the water, except for stirring up some waves, the bottom of the water was quiet.
"Give it a try." Gu Li said this, and he had already raised his feet and was about to step forward.
"I'll come." Guan Chu's voice was very calm, but with an irresistible meaning.
Gu Li looked at him for a while, retracted his feet, and said, "You go to my side, the water here is relatively shallow." ”
Guan Chu stepped on, stepped on it a little harder, felt it, and said, "It seems that there is indeed a stone path here, but the water has flooded this stone road over the years. ”
Gu Li nodded, untied a thumb-thick rope from his waist, and said while tying the rope to Guan Chu's body: "After a while, you will carry your father, so tie your father and you together, be careful." ”
Stuffing the dagger into Guan Chu's hand again, Gu Li slowly retreated to the shore.
Guan Chu nodded, clenched his fists, groped the stone path step by step, and walked towards Guan Ning.
The icy water flooded the instep of his foot, gradually deepening, slowly flooding his ankles, and the cold was even worse, Guan Chu shivered. The stone path under his feet was smooth with water, so he was extremely cautious with every step.
In fact, when you get to Guan Ning's side, if you count it according to the usual road, it is only a dozen steps.
And now, it seems that more than ten years have passed.
The people who walked were terrified, and the people who watched were afraid to come out.
Guan Chu finally stood in front of Guan Ning, and he found that Guan Ning was not actually so seriously injured, but the blood was covered in his body, and it looked terrifying from a distance. He swallowed hard, held the rope given by Gu Li with his frozen hands, and wrapped it around Guan Ning's body little by little, and by the way, he also touched Guan Ning's body to see if there were any other wounds.
During this period, Guan Ning didn't snort.
He obediently lay on Guan Chu's back, and when Guan Chu took a deep breath and took a step, Guan Ning's hands resting on Guan Chu's chest tightened slightly.
"Dad, it's okay, my son will take you out." Guan Chu held Guan Ning's thighs with both hands, lifted it up a little hard, and walked towards Gu Li, who had been holding a torch on the shore.
It's easier to come than to go.
Not long after, Guan Chu had already stepped on the dry shore, and Gu Li grabbed Guan Chu's arm and held him steady.
"Bring a dry cloth and dry his legs, or he won't be able to walk for a while."
Immediately after, three or two people stepped forward, got Guan Chu on his back, and helped Guan Ning down, and another three or two people came over with clean cloths and clean clothes.
Guan Chu wanted to go to see Guan Ning first, but was stopped by Zhang Jiusheng: "You take care of yourself first, Uncle Guan has them over there." ”
Guan Chu nodded, and sat aside with a dry cloth to wipe his feet.
"Boss, you dry your feet and stuff this cloth into your shoes to keep it warm." Tie Wan came over.
"Okay."
Although Guan Chu was wiping, his attention was always on Guan Ning, and the catchers ripped off Guan Ning's clothes in three or two clicks, revealing his injured body.
After wiping it clean, everyone found that the scar on Guan Ning's body was a whip wound, and someone had tortured him.
I don't know if I asked something from Guan Ning, and I don't know if something unexpected happened that caused them to abandon Guan Ning, abandon this mountain village, and leave here.
Soon, the wounds on Guan Ning's body were bandaged with medicine, and all the clothes were changed into clean ones, Zhang Jiusheng arranged for it, and the two catchers sent Guan Ning out first.
And the rest of the others went on to look for Yunsheng.
If you're lucky, you might be able to find it.
If you're unlucky......
Zhang Jiusheng shook his head, not daring to think about it.
"Master Zhang......" Suddenly, Guan Ning lay on the back of a fast catcher, and made a faint sound.
