Chapter 39: The Dark Hole
I was reminded by Zhou Yi and immediately asked, "Roe deer, tell me what you did before you were caught in the hole?" β
The child was already suffocating, "Scared! Crying, shouting for them to save me-"
"You shout again!" I said urgently.
The roe deer couldn't shout, and it was about to faint, I roared twice, but there was no change around me, and then looked at Zhou Yi, "You have a loud voice, shout!" β
"Shouting what?"
"What do you want to shout!"
"Li Yueyang, you idiot-"
"No, I don't have enough strength!" In a hurry, I didn't care about anything else, so I pinched the sensitive part of her waist, and she exclaimed loudly, "Ah! You, you're a scoundrelβ"
Just this sound, piercing the eardrums, shaking the ear drums, just when we were "steamed" to almost faint, the water level suddenly dropped, a great suction force swept us down, I tried to open my eyes, and found that there was an extra dark hole in the wall of the well one meter square, and we were pumped into it along the water......
Dimmy, damp......
But the door behind us had closed quickly, the water was flowing forward, and we finally came into contact with the ground below.
Although the air is not fresh, but the temperature has dropped a lot, we gasped for breath, Zhou Yi simply lay flat in the hole, shook the roe deer beside him, the child coughed a few mouthfuls of water and woke up faintly, looking around, "It's, it's here!" β
Zhou Yi relieved himself and asked me, what the hell is going on? Is this secret door still "voice-activated"?
I can't think of a reason, and I have drawn countless question marks in my heart, is this all artificial? You can see that the surrounding rock cave walls are uneven, and the cave roads are twists and turns, wide and narrow, very irregular, and not very similar. And the "voice-activated door" has only been developed in recent years, so how can it appear in this ancient well with a history of hundreds of years?
But the facts are there, although I don't see how "it" opens and closes, but the door is indeed a door, I tried to kick my feet twice, the sound was dull, the "door" was unimaginably thick.
The ground shook again, and there was another earthquake.
This kind of microseismic is not very harmful above the surface, but it is the most serious threat underground. We don't know where the sudden collapse will be, and it is even a pleasure to be stoned to death on the spot, but if the road is blocked, the long waiting process will drive people crazy.
Zhou Yi obviously realized this, and before he could catch his breath, he urged me to hurry up. The road is ready-made, but it is difficult to walk, to be exact, it is difficult to "climb", the high place is only one meter five or six, and the low place is less than half a meter.
We could only crawl on our knees, turning east and west, sometimes upward, sometimes downward, and we didn't know where the end was.
The worst thing is that we had to stop after more than half an hour of walking - there were five or six more forks in front of us, and it turned out that the underground was criss-crossed, and there was more than one dark hole!
Zhou Yi asked the roe deer, do you remember which one you went?
The roe deer was also stunned, "The last time I was blind in the dark light, I just cared about climbing, and I didn't notice that there were so many forks in the road......"
I said, "Yesterday again", let's find a feeling. The flashlight was turned off, and the cave suddenly became dark.
The roe deer was silent behind me for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "That's it!" β
A faint light was emanating from a fork in the hole ahead, faint and dark, like the eyes of a ghost.
"Are you sure about the roe deer?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Hoo hoo sure!" The child said, "My dad said that those shiny things were treasures, and blamed me for not getting a few out of the way." β
I turned on the flashlight again and handed it to Zhou Yi, and pulled out a military stab from the suitcase behind me, Zhou Yi was stunned, "I said how are you afraid of the police investigation, it turns out that you have a prohibited guy." β
I handed her a dagger, "Will it work?" β
She flipped her hand upside down, "It's a little lighter, let's make do with it." β
I opened the road in front, and Zhou Yi broke in the back, protecting the roe deer in the middle, and the crawling speed gradually slowed down. When we got to the fork in the hole, we had to stop again - it was too narrow, the diameter of the hole was just over a foot and a half, and grinding the chest and back could just get into an adult, and it had to be a little thinner like me, if it was replaced by Du Longbiao, it would definitely get stuck on the shoulder.
I took a breath and looked back at Zhou Yi, "Are you okay?" β
"You mean I'm fatter than you?" Zhou Yi gasped, "Stop grinding, hurry up and get out of the way!" β
I crawled forward with one arm and a slight bend in the other, always pointing the spur forward. I climbed nearly 200 meters like this, my arms have begun to ache, and the hole in front of me is getting narrower and narrower, and even has begun to rub my shoulders, I regret it a little, I knew that there was no threat of other things in the cave, I should really let the roe deer and Zhou Yi go first, if I get stuck and block the way, they will have to bury me.
But it's impossible to go back. I had to rub my head forward, stretching my arms as far as possible to reduce the width of the sides, but my shoulders still hurt.
The two in the back were so relaxed that Zhou Yi still had time to look around, "This hole seems to have been dug by someone, you see, there are traces of shoveling." β
I said, that's also a woman, otherwise it wouldn't be so ding.
"Are you talking about ancient or modern people?"
"It's definitely not modern, look at those traces, the tools used should be very rough."
"But why would anyone come to this dark place?"
"I think that when future generations find our bones, they will have the same questions."
ββ¦β¦ Go wow, how did you stop? β
"Completely stuck." I sighed, but I didn't give up, because there was a faint light in front of me, and it seemed that there was a lot more space.
When the earthquake struck again, I seemed to be able to feel the rock wall on my back sinking, and there was a brute force in the panic, and with a hard grip with both hands, the upper body finally burst out of the narrow mouth, and with a hard support, the whole person got out. hurriedly turned around and took the roe deer out, but when she wanted to drag Zhou Yi again, the roof of the cave suddenly collapsed, sandwiching her waist down......
The roe deer was so frightened that he cried, "Sister Fat Girl, you, you come out quickly!" β
But no matter how hard Zhou Yi tried, she couldn't move a single point, her face was a little desperate, but she deliberately pretended to be calm, "You guys go quickly, and when you escape, you will find someone to come back to save me." "Actually, we all know that maybe the next moment she will die here - if the earthquake causes the cave to be dislocated, she will be cut off in an instant, and of course she will not die immediately, she can only watch her intestines and stomach flow to the ground......
The space I was in was already a lot bigger, so I turned around and squatted beside her, "Zhou Yi, don't be nervous, relax your breathing, and try to think about happy things." I put my hand into the narrow hole, fortunately there was still space on both sides of her, groped in it a few times, thankfully, a whole boulder only pressed against her waist, not completely falling, she stopped calling me "hooligan", and said to herself with a pale face, "Happy thing, happy thing...... Know you, count? β
"But don't, girls who have too much contact with me won't end well...... Besides, you're too young......" I tried to distract her as much as I could.
"Less smelly and beautiful! I didn't mean that - huh? Where am I small?! Zhou Yi said, "Huh? By the way, the long-legged beauty who lived with you a few days ago, how did it go? β
"You know all this?" I asked, "When I get out alive this time, I'll get to the bottom of you and see what you're trying to do with me." I opened the suitcase on the floor, took two things out of it, and stuffed them into the gaps on either side of her body.
"It's not easy to check on you, but I've learned ...... professionally" As soon as she said this, her face changed, and the boulder had sunk suddenly......
