Chapter 120: Enlightenment
Seeing the old prostitute smiling brightly, I laughed too.
But then, I was scolded by him: "Fuck, are you stupid, don't fucking look at Lao Tzu's eyes."
I shone my flashlight on the cave wall and looked at the old prostitute still laughing. Somehow, time seemed to freeze in time, and my old prostitute and I had nothing but laughter.
Before I chiseled the cave wall, I had a thousand words in my heart that I wanted to say to the old prostitute, but when I really saw him, I couldn't say a word.
Perhaps at this moment, laughter is the only way we interpret our mood. Happy, really happy, the old prostitute and Scar are still alive, I can't hide the joy in my heart.
We giggled for a long time, and then I realized that it was tiring to poke my neck out like this, and after a few brief words with them, I stopped looking inside, because I wanted to speed up the progress and try to dig a big hole as soon as possible.
San'er and I chiseled for more than 30 minutes, and the scar and the old prostitute were successfully drilled out.
When the two men came out, they were all soaked and looked tired. The old prostitute lay on the ground for a while, and then sat up and took off his shoes, his feet were already soaked white, and he did not see any blood. When he poured out the water in his shoes, I noticed that he was pouring out not only water, but also some white sand.
I picked up a few grains of white sand and looked at Scar, who was also playing with his shoes, and he poured out of them.
"Why do you have so much white sand in your shoes?" I asked, puzzled.
"It's all this sand under the water." Apparently Scar didn't know the importance of White Sand, and in his eyes, White Sand, like Yellow Sand, was very ordinary.
"My god, don't mention this white sand, I almost killed Lao Tzu."
"What's wrong? What happened? How could Baisha kill you?" I asked the old prostitute.
The old prostitute shook the white sand in her shoes, looked at me and replied, "You can't blame Bai Sha for this, you are also fucking responsible."
I thought the old prostitute was talking about the rope, and I didn't know how to explain it, so I didn't answer.
"Xiao Qi, I have to give you some advice, your Faqiu family has a big business, why are you still picking on the door so much, can't you get some good equipment?" After speaking, the old prostitute handed me the flashlight pinned to the waistband of her trousers, and then said: "Look at your broken play, and the fucking waterproof, you just got into the water and farted less, so it's not fucking bright."
I took the flashlight handed over by the old prostitute, and realized that what he said was not about ropes. I took a closer look, and the back of the flashlight was seriously deformed and no longer sealed, and said, "Look at it yourself, no matter how good the flashlight is made like this, it is impossible for it to be waterproof."
"The fuck it's not lit, so I smashed it." The old prostitute said.
I pressed the flashlight switch and tried it, but the flashlight turned on, and it was brighter than the one I was using now.
"Huh! Why the fuck is this bright?" The old prostitute took the flashlight from my hand, tried it a few more times, the flashlight was easy to use, and could be switched on and off normally, so she said to herself: "It's weird, it's really weird, I couldn't light it up just now, why do you use it as soon as you get it, and you still know people with this flashlight?"
"Don't get it, maybe you were in the water just now, and the flashlight got into the water, so it didn't light up." I explained.
"No, we haven't had a flashlight since we were trapped inside." The old prostitute estimated, and then said: "From the time we were trapped until now, it will take more than an hour to say the least. It didn't get any water in the meantime, and I moved the switch countless times, but it never came on. ”
I wanted the old prostitute to stop thinking about this useless thing, but before I could say it, Scar rushed to speak.
"Brother prostitute, could this flashlight be related to the strange water below?" After Scar finished speaking, the old prostitute nodded and said, "It's possible."
I asked the old prostitute to tell me why they blamed the water, what happened to them after they went into the water?
The old prostitute said that the water below was very strange, and when he just jumped into the water, he felt an inexplicable suction force in the water, which could suck people to the bottom.
At first, he thought there were whirlpools underwater, thinking that it was the suction of whirlpools, but he soon changed his mind because the suction was not too great and not as irresistible as whirlpools.
He began to suspect that it was the suction of the water below, but as it continued to sink, he never felt that there was any current. When he caught the scar, the suction suddenly disappeared, and that's when he saw that they were already underwater.
When he grabbed the scar, the flashlight was still bright, but as soon as he saw the white sand under the water, the flashlight was not on, and they were in the dark for the rest of the day.
The old prostitute said that there was another point that made him feel very strange, there seemed to be space under the white sand under the water, and in some places the white sand suddenly became empty when he pressed it with his hand or stepped on it with his foot, and several times he and Scar almost fell into the space under the white sand. As for what else was under the white sand, he couldn't say clearly, because the flashlight was no longer lit at that time, so he couldn't see anything, everything could only be based on feeling.
That's why he said it, because the flashlight didn't light up and almost killed them.
As they swam upward, they had just left the white sand for a distance, and they felt a suction force in the water again, and the presence of that suction force was much greater than when they entered the water. They want to swim straight up and down, but they find it difficult to break through the suction, and after a few seconds of swimming, they are brought back to the bottom by the suction, and their feet can touch the white sand again.
So they tried to swim upwards twice, but in the end, they failed. Later, the old prostitute simply swam sideways from side to side with the scar, and went upstream little by little. I don't know if it's because they have the wrong direction, or if they are fundamentally swimming in the wrong direction, and by the time they surface, they are already in a closed space.
After that, they were trapped inside, first shouting, and then when they got tired of shouting, they hit the cave wall with flashlights until San'er and I found them.
The old prostitute thinks that it may be the strange suction force under the water that causes the flashlight to not light up, but he also doesn't understand, how is this suction formed? There is no significant current, and the water level has not dropped, but there is a suction force in the water. Also, how can there be space under the white sand? It also made him unbelievable.
After listening to what the old prostitute said, it also made me curious about the water below.
In fact, what I am most curious about is the white sand, if there is really space under the white sand, it means that the white sand is not sinking to the bottom of the water, but floating in the water. I took a few grains of white sand and threw them into the mineral water bottle, thinking that there would be a major discovery, but all the white sand sank to the bottom, and it was not as described by the old prostitute.
"Damn, you still don't believe what I say, and you can try it with fucking water."
"It's not that I don't believe it, I just want to see how the white sand floats." I explained.
"It's not easy to see it, you can go into the water and see it yourself later." After the old prostitute finished speaking, she stood up, looked around, saw the backpack and walked over, and said as she went, "If you want to go down and have a look, I'll find you a longer rope."
When the old prostitute talked about the rope, I immediately chuckled in my heart, and I didn't know what to say for a while. I glanced at San'er, who was standing at the entrance of the cave and looking at the enclosed space inside, not knowing if he pretended not to hear or didn't care about what the old prostitute said.
Seeing San'er standing there without the slightest movement, I thought to myself, forget it, let's carry it myself, since San'er won't harm them anymore, there is no need to let the old prostitute know about the rope, after all, if he knows, it will be a bloody storm.
I walked up to the old prostitute, looked at the old prostitute and said, "Old prostitute, I have to say sorry to you, I didn't hold on to the rope, and you two have been trapped here for so long."
The old prostitute was stunned for a moment after hearing what I said, then put down the backpack she was rummaging through, stood up and glared at me viciously, and scolded: "You fucking can't speak, and you have to be a little sincere to apologize, okay, what does it mean that we have been trapped here for so long, and we were almost killed by you, but what you said is not painful."
I hurriedly said, "Yes, it was my fault, I almost killed you."
"Damn, can you kid come to something practical, don't fucking make these fools."
As soon as I saw that he was saying something practical, I immediately understood and said, "You can make an offer."
"Happy, brother prostitute, I like a happy boss like you." The old prostitute thought for a while before saying, "One price, 100,000." This is not to slander you, it is a total of 100,000 yuan for two people, not much, I will open this money with Scar Sanqi. ”
"Why is it three or seven open, didn't you say four or six in it just now?" Scar questioned the old prostitute.
"My god, your life was saved by Lao Tzu, it's enough to be funny if you don't open up with you, you just honestly wait to go back and get the money, don't talk anymore."
As soon as I heard them talk, I knew that these two people were thinking of blackmailing me, but I didn't care about their blackmail, and if money could buy harmony, I would rather pay more.
"Xiao Qi, what did you all do during the time we were trapped? Did you go to find Zhanzhao where they were trapped? "The old prostitute asked me.
"I looked for it, but I didn't find it." San'er hurriedly replied.
Fortunately, San'er spoke first, or I would have said that I didn't look for it. After all, during the time they were trapped, I was made to fall asleep by the incense most of the time, so it is really difficult to explain the difference, and it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the old prostitute.
"If you can't find it, then don't look for it, I have a new idea." The old prostitute continued: "Do you remember the corpse of that Tianxiang guy?"
San'er and I nodded, and the old prostitute continued: "At that time, none of us could figure out how that guy's body could come out from underneath, but now I do. You see, the space where Scar and I are trapped is most likely from a space like this and then straight to the bottom, so he didn't appear in the hole on our level. ”
I thought about it for a while, and there was some truth in what the old lady said, which could explain why the guy died there. If, as the old prostitute said, the guy really went into the water from such a space, then he would not be able to appear in the water hole on this level, unless he got out of a hole in a puddle, and apparently he did, but he made a very unwise choice, the water hole he chose was too small, and he ended up stuck there.
Suddenly, I really understood what the old prostitute was trying to say. The point he wanted to convey was not the man's death at all, but there was a deeper meaning.
