Chapter 59: Cave Robbery
Uncle Dao is right, now is not the time to get to the bottom of it, no matter whether those masked people are friends or foes, the most important thing for us is to escape.
At present, this robbery hole is about two and a half meters high, which can accommodate three or four people in parallel, not like the tomb robbers dug out at random in a panic, it feels like a professional team in a very calm state A little bit of it, if nothing else, it should be from the hands of Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he relied on the help of the descendants of the Mo Sect, and he had already changed the ancient tomb of the Northern and Southern Dynasties into a mess, thinking that if Xiao Qing, the original tomb owner, knew, it was estimated that he would be so angry that he vomited blood.
The whole cave stretched diagonally upward, and there was no fork in the road, and we walked in it for seven or eight minutes, but it was quite smooth, except for some rubble that mixed our feet, and basically did not encounter anything strange.
But just when I was passing a corner, Wei Yin beside me suddenly stopped, leaned against the wall, and kept rubbing her thighs with her hands, with an ugly expression.
"You have a leg injury?" I also stopped and asked.
Wei Yin nodded, then stood up again, and said with difficulty: "It's okay, don't delay any longer, let's continue walking." ”
Thinking about it, although Wei Yin has some skills, she is still a girl after all, and it is really difficult for her to go down to this kind of place where no one is close. So I opened my mouth again:
"I see that your face is very bad, why don't you rest for a while, anyway, we will ...... for the time being"
I wanted to reflect my warm male nature, but before I finished speaking, I was coldly interrupted by Wei Yin:
"I said it's okay! You're not verbose! ”
Zheng Tian on the side immediately sneered after hearing this: "Come on, come on, people don't accept your favor." ”
I couldn't hold my face, so I had to shut up, but Wei Yin stumbled and fell to the ground as soon as she walked a few steps.
We hurriedly stepped forward to help her to the edge of the earthen wall, and Wei Yin's face was already pale, and the beads of sweat on her forehead couldn't stop pouring out.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked by wiping sweat from her forehead with my sleeve.
Wei Yin didn't speak, she shook her hand at me, closed her eyes, and breathed.
Uncle Dao immediately squatted down and rolled up Wei Yin's cuffs, and then pressed his fingers on the pulse of her wrist to take the pulse.
"Uncle, you know a lot!" I looked at Uncle Dao's skillful operation and said with a surprised face.
"Dao Ye has also seen me before." Seventh Brother said.
"Poison attacks the heart, and poisoning is not shallow." After Uncle Dao finished speaking, he carefully took a flashlight at the wound on Wei Yin's leg, and the expression on his face suddenly froze.
We looked at Uncle Dao's expression as if it was wrong, and thought that things might be worse, so we asked Uncle Dao what was going on, and Uncle Dao said solemnly: "A ghost sting has drilled in, and the wound has suppurated." ”
"What? How could it be so serious! I was stunned when I heard this, and thought to myself that this was the trouble.
"It'...... Did it burrow into me? It must have been in that secret passage just now. Wei Yin's voice was depressed and weak.
Seventh brother comforted Wei Yin, saying that when he was in the Middle East, he was hit in the arm, and the medical conditions were poor at that time, so he could only bite a towel, and he took the bullet out of the flesh with severe pain.
Wei Yin became even more frightened after hearing this, and asked intermittently: "Really...... Does it really hurt? ”
We immediately accused Brother Qi of not being able to speak, and then comforted her not to worry, as long as she endured a little pain, the ghost sting inside would definitely be able to be removed.
"I feel...... It's still digging into it. Wei Yin's lips were completely purple, and her voice trembled.
"Don't worry, we'll do our best to help you. Do you still have pain medication in your bag? Uncle Dao said.
Wei Yin nodded, and then Uncle Dao took out the painkiller and gave Wei Yin a few pills, telling her to rest for a while.
A few minutes later, seeing that the effect of the medicine probably worked, Uncle Dao asked me and the seventh brother Zheng Tian to hold down Wei Yin, and then took out a dagger himself, looked at Wei Yin's purulent wound, and slowly inserted it in, the severe pain made Wei Yin suddenly cry out, and the paralyzing effect of the painkiller didn't seem to be very effective.
Fortunately, at the moment, the ghost sting was not too deep into it, Uncle Dao quickly determined its location, and slowly picked it out, when the ghost sting showed its head, Uncle Dao suddenly stretched out his fingers and pinched it out, and threw it on the ground at once, in order to avoid Wei Yin from having more pain, Uncle Dao's action just now was almost completed in an instant.
Seeing that the ghost sting was still writhing on the ground, the seventh brother stepped forward and completely killed it with a knife.
After the ghost sting was picked out, we immediately bandaged Wei Yin's wound, and Wei Yin laboriously spit out two words "thank you", and then stopped talking, as if she had passed out.
"What now? Do we move on? Zheng Tian asked.
"She needs to rest now, but we can't stop, otherwise let's carry her on our backs." Uncle Dao replied.
The seventh brother volunteered at the moment: "I'll carry it, I promised to carry her ancestors out before, but it didn't happen, and now I can carry her out." ”
I thought to myself that Brother Seventh is sincere, and sending the pennant 10,000 times is not enough.
Then we walked forward for more than ten minutes, although the dim thief cave was depressing, but fortunately, nothing dangerous happened, and our hearts that had been hanging gradually relaxed.
Finally, the cave came to an end.
But the scene in front of us blinded us all.
The front is completely sealed with mounds of earth, there are no roads and no doors.
"! What is this? Cut corners? Halfway through the digging and not digging? Zheng Tian scolded and scolded.
"Maybe the person who is digging thinks it's impossible to dig down, so he turns back and opens another way." Brother Qi analyzed.
I looked at the thief hole in front of me that was dug halfway and hurriedly finished, and I was also very panicked.
For now, there may be only one way.
"Brother Qi, you are a professional, it shouldn't be difficult to dig a thief hole, right?" I asked the seventh brother on the side.
The seventh brother nodded, and then gently put Wei Yin behind him aside, and asked for the opinion of Uncle Dao on the other side and said, "Master Dao, why don't we dig it ourselves?" ”
Uncle Dao looked at the unfinished thief hole in front of him and nodded.
So Uncle Dao and Brother Qi's two shovels flew up and down in the thief hole, but a few minutes later, Uncle Dao lost the shovel in his hand and waved his hand at us helplessly: "No, I can't dig it, and the front is blocked by rocks." ”
"Damn! No wonder the person who dug this thief hole couldn't dig it anymore, it turned out to be a dead end! Zheng Tian said in frustration.
"So, are we going to turn back and find another way?" I spoke.
"Where can I go back? It is estimated that the secret passage below has been flooded with stinging water, and it is a dead end to go back. The seventh brother replied stupidly.
"But it's not a way for us to stay here, we don't have enough food and drink for a long time." I was worried.
"Those masked people are also boring, help people to the end, help half of them and run away by themselves, what's the matter!" Zheng Tian said indignantly.
Usually when I encounter this kind of difficult situation, I will directly turn my eyes to Uncle Dao for help, and this time is no exception, when I look at Uncle Dao, he seems to have thought of something: "We don't have to go back!" There's definitely a road ahead! ”
"There are some things that we can't solve with optimism." Zheng Tian said with a look of disbelief.
"yes, it's blocked by a boulder in front of you, so you can't get out at all." I said too.
Uncle Dao smiled, pointed at Zheng Tian and said, "It was your reminder just now that made me think of it, why don't you know it yourself?" ”
"Me? What did I just say to me? Zheng Tian was a little overwhelmed.
"You just said that the masked people helped people and ran away." Uncle Dao replied.
"Right...... yes, but what's the matter? "Zheng Tian still hasn't understood what Uncle Dao said, not only Zheng Tian doesn't understand, but Brother Qi and I are also confused.
Uncle Dao continued: "You think, after putting down the rope, the masked people disappeared, and there is no fork in the way to go down this thief hole, there is only one way, so the mask people ran away in the same direction as us, but until the end of this thief hole, we didn't see them. ”
When Uncle Dao said this, I couldn't help but wonder, unless those masked people could penetrate the wall or become invisible, it would be impossible to go all the way to this place without seeing them.
"Could it be...... Could it be that there is some mechanism here? The masked men opened the trap and left? I said.
Uncle Dao nodded, "Don't forget, in all places related to the Mo Sect, the technique of the mechanism is commonplace. ”
"Then I don't understand, why did those masked men trap us here when they wanted to save us?" Zheng Tian was puzzled.
"I don't know about this yet." Uncle Dao looked around and said, "Leave them alone for now, let's take a closer look and see what the mystery is." ”
Unfortunately, we checked in this small space for nearly twenty minutes, and still found nothing.
