Chapter 38: Assassination

In the process of running to the village chief's house, the roe deer's mother told the story of the matter, it turned out that when the roe deer was hiding in the well and wanted to play a prank, he suddenly found that there was water under his feet, and he was about to call for help, but he was swept down by a whirlpool, and the rope on his waist was also torn, and he was pulled into a hole in a daze......

Fortunately, there was not much water in the cave, and the roe deer was frightened, and crawled forward in the dark, and only after half the night did he see the light, and the end was the cave halfway up the mountain.

I said aunt, you still haven't fully told the truth, that roe deer father often goes up the mountain at night, what is it for?

The roe deer mother sighed, "It's all because we are obsessed with money!" The roe deer said that when he crawled in the burrow, he saw a lot of shiny things...... We have been here in ancient times, we have been a big family, I heard that a lot of gold and silver treasures were buried in the ground, and the roe deer's father said that this time it must be a blessing in disguise, and he came across the treasure, and he planned to go and see it, and he really wanted to be able to dig out a piece and a half of the gold lumps, and he could also make up for the tuition for the roe deer......"

"So, you call the children to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and talk nonsense!" Zhou Yi said angrily, "Those ghost movements were also made by the two of you, right?" ”

The roe deer's mother wiped her tears and nodded, "The roe deer's father said that he had to do something scary and make the villagers dare not approach the cave, otherwise if they were discovered by others, the wolf would have more meat and less meat......"

I asked, "Have you found the entrance to the cave?" ”

"The roe deer and his father were afraid of arousing everyone's suspicions, so he could only sneak up the mountain at night, but he didn't find any holes, and today he heard that you will soon be able to settle this matter, so he was anxious, and said that he had to find the treasure tonight anyway...... When he was leaving, he suddenly said to me that he wanted to understand how to find the hole and let me stop at home and wait to be a landlord! Nothing else. ”

The village chief was pulled up from his sleep by us, and when he heard that someone was in distress on the mountain, he hurriedly organized people to go up the mountain to rescue him. Zhou Yi also wanted to go with her, so I grabbed her, "There are many people in the village, and it's not worse than you and me, let's find another way!" ”

I took her to the ancient well again, and she suddenly realized, "Oh, forget about this stubble, if there is a dark hole in the well, we can also find the roe deer and his father...... Oh, that's not going to work, the well is full of water, and it's too inconvenient to move. ”

I smiled and said, "Take a good look at what's going on down there." ”

She took a flashlight into the well and was stunned for a moment, "Huh? The water, the water went down?! ”

"Specialty adhesives." I said, "I've blocked the springs." ”

"It turns out that in the past two days, you have gone down the well several times to do this!" Zhou Yi said, "The spring water only can't come in and out, and it has been drained for a day, so it's about to bottom out?" Her eyes suddenly lit up, "I won't see the bottom!" If there is a dark hole, the water will flow out along the gap, and the current water level is the height of the dark hole! ”

I laughed, "You're blind if you're not a police officer, and you're very analytical." ”

She looked at me excitedly, "Okay, you! I didn't find the wrong person! ”

Although things have made great progress, we didn't dare to go down immediately, because aftershocks could come at any time, and if they caused another landslide, we would have to be buried alive.

Zhou Yi was still looking down, and suddenly grabbed my sleeve, "Look, what's that?" ”

A human head.

I took the flashlight and looked at it, only to see that the little head was also looking up, Zhou Yi exclaimed, "Roe deer, what are you doing down?" ”

There was a cry from the well, "I'm going to save my dad." ”

"You come up first, let's find a way to ......" Zhou Yi went down the rope and let the child grab it, but suddenly there was a movement again, the masonry on the wall of the well was old and crunchy, and they fell down one after another, and the roe deer was so frightened that he cried and couldn't reach the rope anymore.

Zhou Yi was in a hurry, rolled up his arms and sleeves and was about to go down the well, I stopped her, "I'll come, you take care of it above." I tied one end of the rope to the stump and went down the well, hugged the child tightly and climbed up, but before I was halfway there, I saw Zhou Yi on the well suddenly jump down, poof! As I was falling into the water, I said, "Girl, aren't you adding to the chaos, and you really think of this as a hot spring?" ”

Zhou Yi got out of the water and shouted urgently, "Hurry, hurry!" There's someone up there! ”

I don't know if she told me to go up or come down quickly, but suddenly I felt a light on my hand, the rope had been broken, and the roe deer both fell into the water, and then, my head went dark, and someone covered the mouth of the well with a big stone......

I turned on the waterproof flashlight and found that Zhou Yi's face was still hateful, "Someone pushed me down!" ”

I asked, "Do you see who it is?" ”

"If I had the chance to turn back, would I still be able to get him close? It's a sneak attack again! ”

I asked Zhou Yi and the roe deer to pick up the cracks in the bricks, took a flashlight to look at the wall of the well, and groped for most of the circle, but I didn't find any traces of the dark hole.

Zhou Yi asked where the hole where the roe deer was involved before. The roe deer choked up and said that he was frightened, but it must have been in this well.

"Do you remember it again, have you ever touched a crack in a brick or stone? It's like a button in a TV show. Zhou Yi asked.

"My dad asked me too, but I can't remember exactly, and I'm scared."

Zhou Yi suddenly stopped asking, and looked at me in panic, "I, why do I feel that the water is starting to rise?" ”

"The earthquake caused it, and the spring was swollen again......" I said.

"Then when the water rises to the mouth of the well, we can't get out, and we have to be suffocated to death!" Zhou Yi said urgently.

"It's a humane way to die." I said, "Don't you feel the water temperature starting to rise?" ”

She was dumbfounded, and she must have been like me, realizing that the spring water under her feet was already hot, and that the earthquake had caused the deep heat source to move upward, and that we might soon be cooked meat.

Zhou Yi pushed the roe deer up as much as he could, staring at me, "I'm sorry, Brother Yang, I really shouldn't have dragged you in and let you die with me." ”

While groping on the cave wall, I said with a smile, "My buddy calculated for me, saying that my life is hard, a thousand years to die the king eight, ten thousand years to die turtle, this little disaster is not a problem, at most half-baked, cold, and a good man." ”

Zhou Yi also smiled bitterly, "The boiled duck is left with a hard mouth." ”

I felt a protruding piece of masonry and knocked it hard, but there was no response, "One thing I'm very strange, look at your bones, why do everyone call you 'fat girl'?" ”

"It was when I was a childβ€”" Zhou Yi said, "Haven't you heard, the eighteenth year of the female college has changed ......?"

"Oh, you're a 'big change,' then."

"When is it, you still have the heart to make trouble." The water temperature is getting higher and higher, we are already out of breath, and the strong smell of sulfur makes the roe deer retch, Zhou Yi saw that I still did not give up, frowned and said, "You might as well try the code, 'Heavenly King Covers the Tiger', 'Sesame Open Door' or something, maybe it can be useful." "She was joking, but I was shocked when I heard it!
