Chapter 25: Red Flags
This may be an experience, when the things that were chasing you are no longer chasing you, then there are two possibilities, one, the things chasing you are exhausted and have no ability to chase anymore. Two, you have escaped from its control, or rather, it does not dare to chase after it anymore, because there is a strong enemy in front of it that it fears.
Obviously, our location has not escaped the control of leeches, except for the coffin lid exposed on the water, the rest of the place is still in the water, and there is water all around, so this is still the control of leeches. And it's not far from the brick room, and it's impossible for them to feel tired, so there's only one possibility, and that's that in this passage, there are strong enemies they fear, so they didn't chase them.
While looking around, I was also constantly thinking, what will leeches be afraid of? But I almost turned over all the memories about leeches in my head, and I didn't expect that the leeches were afraid.
I glanced at the old prostitute, he also seemed a little nervous, the wax oil in his hand had flowed to his fingers, but he didn't feel it at all, it seems that the spirit of the old prostitute is highly concentrated at the moment. After all, the three of us only have a dagger in our hands now, and it is difficult to deal with any unexpected situation, so we must anticipate the unknown.
"What are leeches most afraid of?" I asked the two of them.
The old prostitute didn't speak, but shook her head directly at me. Xiao Moyan thought for a few seconds and said: "This kind of tusked leeches have been seen in the mountains before, but there are too few of them, usually animals are afraid of them, and there are really no creatures that make leeches afraid, even birds don't eat this kind of leeche." ”
"Think about the things in the water, what are leeches afraid of? Maybe that thing is in the water, could it be a water ghost? I said.
"My god, how can there be so many water ghosts, the water here is obviously the last to flow in, and it's not a primitive river, where did the water ghosts come from, and besides, there are no leeches in the water that are afraid of them, even if they really have water ghosts, they have to be bitten by those leeches. Don't think about it anymore, it's probably not something we can think of. ”
After speaking, the old prostitute hesitated for a moment, and then asked Xiao Moyan: "Can your brother and them hear the sound of the detonator explosion just now?" ”
"If they're still there, my brother will be able to hear it." Xiao Moyan replied affirmatively.
"That's good, it seems that we can only wait for rescue, we have to rely on them to open that thief hole from the outside, or none of us will be able to fucking get out. For the sake of today, we can only stay here and wait, but we must not be careless, we must always be vigilant. Damn, it feels weird to look here. ”
"It's not just weird, it's just unbelievable." I answered.
"My god, Xiao Qi, you go on, how did you see the unbelievable."
"Look at this passage, it is obviously widened on the basis of the original tomb passage, and the coffin under our feet, how can it be in the passage? Someone must have moved over, but I don't understand, why did Lu move the coffin here? ”
"Damn, that's what those people did twenty years ago." The old prostitute said.
"It's impossible, you look at the degree of widening of this passage, this project is not small, twenty years ago there were six people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete." I answered.
"My god, did you kid forget, they stayed in the tomb for a month, not to mention a passage in a month, even digging a tunnel has been dug up."
Although the old prostitute's words are a bit exaggerated, I think it seems to make some sense, after all, the Warring States Sword Coin belonging to the little wolf's father was found at the entrance of the thief cave, and the six people back then can be said to be masters with unique skills, and it is not difficult to open up the passage in front of them, and they have enough time.
I can't help but start to have a hypothesis, assuming that everything here was done by those people back then, then the reason why they widened the tomb should be to move the coffin under our feet to the inside of the passage, and the coffin is probably moved out of the brick room where we came down, and then moved here, I don't know what happened to the road, so they didn't continue to move inside.
"My day, Xiao Qi, what are you thinking?"
I looked at the old prostitute and didn't answer, my brain was still thinking, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt a sense of eerie fear here. Now the nature of the problem has also changed, whether it was done by those people back then, it doesn't matter anymore, what matters is what happened after the coffin was carried here, forcing those who wanted to move the coffin to make such a big project, but finally gave up.
"Fuck, Xiao Qi, what the hell did you think?"
I think my face must have changed now, otherwise the old prostitute would not ask such questions, and I told them what I thought.
After hearing this, the old prostitute was also full of doubts, and asked softly uncharacteristically: "Xiao Qi, did you think of giving up for what the hell those people are going to do?" ”
I nodded and said, "Actually, this is not difficult to understand, empathy, if we want to move the coffin into the passage, then what will happen, will we give up?" ”
"Dangerous," the old prostitute said precipitously.
"Yes, there must be some danger that forces them to give up, or rather, they don't give up, they don't have the ability to finish, they have already encountered some danger, otherwise no one will come out of the brick room." I explained.
"Oh my god, you and I want to go together, here or in there." Speaking of this, the old prostitute pointed to the inside of the passage, and then said: "There must be some danger that caused the people back then to dare not move the coffin inside, this is definitely a fucking danger signal." ”
"Didn't you hear the crash?" Xiao Moyan suddenly asked very strangely.
After my wife and I heard her say that there was a crashing sound, we were stunned for a moment, and then immediately held our breath, not even daring to take a breath, and after listening for a while, we didn't hear any sound, but Xiao Moyan was still listening carefully with his eyes closed.
The old prostitute stood aside and whispered to me: "If there is anything abnormal in front, let's fuck first, I don't want to be bitten by those leeches again." ”
I answered softly, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and prepared for battle. Although he is ready, he is still a little hairy in his heart, after all, he is now bare-handed, and he does not have a hard guy in his hands, so his confidence is naturally insufficient. If the little wolf is here at this time, I don't have to worry so much, at least he can twist the neck of the zongzi with his bare hands, but I can't, so I'm still a little timid.
The old prostitute saw that Xiao Moyan had been listening to it for a while, and she didn't say what it was, so she asked softly, "What is the voice?" In which direction? ”
Xiao Moyan didn't answer, but made a gesture for us, and it was her gesture that surprised me and the old prostitute.
