Chapter 34: Jumping Corpses
Looking at the water level that submerged to the knees and began to swing left and right, the old prostitute and I were a little nervous, after all, I don't know what was going into the water in the passage of the road, but judging from the water flow formed by the squeezing, it should not be a small thing.
This is how people encounter unknown dangers, they will involuntarily stay away, I and the old prostitute helped Xiao Moyan, and took a few steps back to the tomb, originally I just wanted to take a few steps back, but this retreat, it was out of control, and I withdrew more than a dozen steps away, so that the light source of the candle could not shine on the position where we were originally standing.
Maybe it's instinctively out of that old saying that we can't help but retreat so far, as the so-called out of sight and out of mind. I used to think that this sentence was true, but now it seems that this sentence is very flawed, and it is not always true.
Now we can't see the entrance to the tomb at all, but it makes me feel restless, because you don't know when and what will appear in the dark, and I don't want to imagine it, and what I imagine is often more terrible than reality.
"Xiao Qi, what did you just say?" The old prostitute asked softly.
"It's nothing, it's not important now, just now I thought we should rush out, but now it seems that it is impossible, there must be a big guy in the water at the entrance of the tomb, and it is the zongzi with corpse poison that hurt Xiao Moyan."
"My god, don't make a fucking fuss, maybe that zongzi is walking along the cemetery outside, and it won't necessarily turn in."
"Walking? It is estimated that you are the only one in the entire tomb robbery world who can come up with the word walking for zongzi. I paused after speaking, and then said: "However, we have to think of a way out first, if it is really the dumpling with corpse poison, what should we do, do we fight to the death, or run?" ”
"My day, fight to the death? Fight you to the death? Xiao Qi's fucking true hero, who have you ever seen fight to the death with Zongzi with bare hands, not to mention that he is still a corpse poison, then the fucking one is not called a duel to the death, it is called a decision to commit suicide. ”
"Then what do you say, the current conditions are here, there is no air flow in this cemetery at all, whether there can be air in it is not certain, if there is no air, it is not equivalent to suicide, instead of running inside, it is better to fight with the zongzi here, maybe the two of us can kill the zongzi."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of water at the entrance of the tomb, as if something had come out of the water, and it was a dense sound of water droplets.
When I heard the sound of water droplets, I began to regret that I had retreated so far that the light source of the candle in my hand could not shine there at all, and I did not know what came out of the water.
Seeing that the entrance of the tomb was pitch black, and there was not even a ghost, only the sound of ticking water could be heard, which was extremely bad, but it was certain that the thing that came out of the water did not move, and the sound of water drops was still at the entrance of the tomb.
The old prostitute and I looked at each other, neither of us spoke, and although we couldn't see what was going on, at least we could tell for now that the thing wasn't moving. But at this time, we also know that as time goes by, the sound of water droplets at the entrance of the tomb will become less and less, and if it goes on like this, the longer it takes, the more passive it will be. Of course, we also have a kind of luck in our hearts, no matter what it is, since it can come, we can't be prepared to leave.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, the sound of water dripping at the entrance of the tomb began to disappear, and the tomb immediately fell into an incomparable silence. All the ears can hear now is their own heartbeat and our breathing, and nothing else.
The old prostitute quickly let go of a hand holding Xiao Moyan, and then reached out and took out a cold firework from the backpack, I understand what the old prostitute meant, he wanted to shoot a cold firework in front, but he ignored the hand I was holding Xiao Moyan. That hand was the arm that had been anesthetized by the nine-legged dragon kui, and although it was a little regained consciousness now, it couldn't withstand any gravity.
After the old prostitute let go, my hand didn't hold it, Xiao Moyan instantly lost her balance and fell into the water behind her, I didn't hold her when I saw it, and I immediately used the hand holding the candle to pull it in a hurry, although the hand holding the candle was not injured or anesthetized, but the movement was still a little slower, and when I dragged Xiao Moyan, she had already fallen into the water.
Xiao Moyan was helped up, but the candle in my hand was extinguished, and all of a sudden it was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.
"Pap, pap" The tomb crossing remembered the sound of treading water, which sounded so powerful that we could even hear the splash of water trampled by treading water, and it was clear that the sound was coming towards us.
"Close your eyes," the old prostitute shouted.
I don't know if the old prostitute is shouting slowly, or this guy is fast, I closed my eyes fast enough, but it was still a little slower, and the cold fireworks thrown out by the old prostitute flashed.
The cold smoke was thrown too close, and the bright light flashed into my eyes at once, and it felt like I was blinded, and tears welled up all at once. For a while, I didn't know if I was shedding tears or blood. His hand was holding Xiao Moyan, but he couldn't let go of her to rub his eyes, so he could only hold on, this kind of stinging pain in his eyes was extremely uncomfortable.
"Jump corpses, run." After the old prostitute roared angrily, Xiao Moyan left my hand, and then I heard the sound of the old prostitute running through the water.
I hurriedly walked around with my feet, and found that there was no Xiao Moyan, thinking that it should be the old prostitute who ran away with Xiao Moyan. I didn't have time to rub my eyes, so I chased in the direction of the sound of the old prostitute wading through the water.
Although the old prostitute was carrying Xiao Moyan, she was not running slowly, I had been following behind, and soon we really achieved speed, the running speed of the two people was getting faster and faster, and the depth of the water level under the legs began to be shallower and shallower.
At this time, our speed has reached its peak, but we can still hear the sound of corpses jumping behind us. Maybe it's because there are echoes in the tomb, so I always feel that the jumping corpse is right behind us, not far from us.
My wife and I can be said to have taken out all our physical strength and run away along the tomb road, but sooner or later our physical strength will be exhausted, although the tomb robbers know how to distribute physical strength, but the current situation can't take care of so much.
I had the heart to stop and catch my breath, and I also wanted to see if the jumping corpse followed, after all, we can't see anything now, and it's not a way to run like this, if something gets in the way, at our current speed, we will have to be knocked to death.
