Chapter Forty-Seven: The Roof Leak Happened to Rain Overnight
Zhang Siyuan looked at the swollen female corpse, and then glanced at Uncle Lu and Hu San with calm faces, looking like they wanted to speak and stopped, curious but fearful. Seeing that everyone's backs were about to disappear into the darkness, he sighed in a low voice, bowed to the female corpse, grabbed me and whispered, "Let's go, they won't tell you anything." ”
I followed nervously, and walked up the spiral steps to the sound of footsteps. But the more I walked, the more I wondered, according to our speed, we should have reached the top of the building a long time ago, why was there still a high and endless staircase in front of us?
Hu San, who was leading the way, became slower and slower, and his back hesitated. He suddenly pulled the bolt of his gun, stretched out his arm and raised the flashlight in his hand, and the endless but empty steps were exposed to the pale glow of the flashlight.
Shengzi, who was next to me, shuddered, and Zhang Siyuan's voice was a little weak: "We won't meet a ghost hitting the wall, right?" If all is in order, I'm up to the ground by now at our speed. ”
My heart tugged, I took a deep breath and turned my head, only a huge spider crawling behind me. I walked over to the dilapidated staircase handrail and craned my neck to look into the gap in the stairwell, but in the darkness it was like a huge monster that could absorb light, no matter how many flashlights I held, it couldn't penetrate the foggy darkness, and the light would automatically dim as soon as it arrived.
The cold sweat on my back oozed little by little, my scalp tingled, and the chill climbed all the way up my spine. Wang Zhen scolded in disbelief: "How can you encounter such a ghost thing, who will go down with me to see?" ”
Uncle Lu and Hu San exchanged glances, and Uncle Lu wiped his sweat and muttered in a low voice: "Impossible, she will never do such a thing...... Could it be that she died strangely, what message do you want to send to us? ”
Aunt I said in my heart, we are not murderers, Zhang Siyuan also bowed to you, besides, how can you be willing to scare your two old friends. Hu San paused for a moment and said: "Let's go down and have a look, it is most taboo to act separately in this kind of place." ”
After walking silently down for more than twenty minutes, there were still dilapidated steps in front of him. Reassuring myself that the body was still underneath, I quickened my pace and climbed some four stories away, but there was still nothing in front of me.
Wang Zhen's patience was the first to be exhausted, and he slammed the empty gun on the ground with a snap, and cursed an unbearable expletiveness into the darkness. Zhang Siyuan hesitated for a moment, followed by him and scolded, Cantonese Beijing and Sichuan Mandarin repeatedly went into battle, sounding like he was listening to a unique vulgar language summary conference.
Uncle Lu really couldn't listen to it, and raised his hand to stop the two from spitting. Wang Linshuo asked: "Is it necessary for you to do so many tricks when you scold people?" ”
Zhang Siyuan sighed and said, "Haven't you heard that ghosts are afraid of wicked people? I'm afraid that the person blocking the road can't understand Mandarin, so I specially provided multiple versions, hoping that it would know my terrible fright. ”
Wang Linshuo and I rolled our eyes helplessly at the same time, and Uncle Lu squeezed out a blunt smile and pushed him away and continued to walk briskly. It wasn't until everyone was panting slightly and sweating that Wang Linshuo suddenly stopped and shouted: "We have walked a thousand and fifty steps, and if we roughly estimate, we are now on the minus fifty-three floors, maybe close to the lithosphere." ”
I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and Uncle Lu said angrily: "Negative fifty-three layers? Don't fucking go! Don't talk about what jade to find, it's delusional to even go out now! ”
I said in my heart, what kind of temper are you having now, didn't you insist on going your own way at that time, and you had to come in to investigate? Wang Linshuo looked around and said, "Don't worry, take a break for a while and then think about what to do." ”
Zhang Siyuan sat down panting, dragged Shengzi who was squatting in the corner and trembling, and persuaded: "What are you shaking, there is no monster here, if it doesn't work, I will blow up this wall, and I will definitely be able to get out." ”
I sighed: "I'm just looking for a herb, how can I feel more difficult than Tang Seng to learn scriptures." ”
Wang Zhen looked at Zhang Siyuan and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the lazy Zhu Bajie who always dragged us down along the way, maybe I would have been on the way back by now." ”
Zhang Siyuan glared and said: "If it weren't for you, a Tang monk who cries at every turn, Lao Tzu and I would have been able to have a cordial meeting with Rulai." ”
Hu San, who had been silent, suddenly stood up: "Shall we try to continue walking?" I thought maybe we could go back to the place where we noticed something was wrong, where I threw a ball of paper. ”
Tired and scared, I managed to stand up and hurried up two steps. Maybe I was too anxious, or maybe I was walking too fast, and in the blink of an eye I was left far behind the group. I wiped the sweat from my head, glanced at the steps leading to the deep darkness, and was about to stop and wait for them, when suddenly an extremely sharp pain broke out in my chest.
My heart sank suddenly, and I gasped, knowing that my illness had occurred again, and it was a coincidence that I had fallen off my chain in such a dangerous place. If I encounter a monster or a ghost, then my life will be confessed here. Cold sweat ran down my forehead, and the pain in my chest became more and more intense, like someone was stirring in your flesh with a knife, like thousands of bones breaking at the same time, and like countless arrows passing through my chest.
I tried to turn around and call for help, but I was too weak to make a sound, and all that came out of my mouth was moaning. I hunched over like a shrimp, one hand against the wall, the other pressed against my chest. Zhang Siyuan and Wang Linshuo noticed that something was wrong with me at the same time, their faces changed, and they hurriedly ran towards me.
Suddenly, a sharp pain like a tsunami spread from my chest and spread very quickly throughout my body. All my strength was drained, my legs were weak, my eyes were dark, my hands waved weakly a few times, I tried to grab the wall but didn't, and I fell straight backwards.
If it's on flat ground, at most your back will be red and swollen after you fall on your butt, but this is on a steep and high staircase! I was jolting and tumbling like a bottle, and the railing was in front of me, but the pain made my hands tremble, and I couldn't even grab it several times. I heard a lot of confusion behind me, footsteps mixed with human voices. Just as I was about to faint with a blue nose and swollen face, a large strong hand grabbed me.
Wang Zhen gasped, his mouth opened and closed rapidly, and he spat out a series of words. By this time I was so delirious and on the verge of collapse that I couldn't hear what he was saying, except to see him frowning and staring at me.
Zhang Siyuan almost stumbled when he ran over, although my forehead and back were full of cold sweat, I couldn't help but want to laugh when I saw his helpless embarrassment. I opened my mouth with great effort and swallowed the painkillers handed by Wang Linshuo, and the bitterness slightly diluted some of the pain. I regained a little strength, and was about to say something when I saw Uncle Lu and Shengzi limping towards me with Hu Sanyi in their arms.
My heart trembled violently, and I looked up at Hu San in disbelief. His face was pale, his breath was short, his wrists were clenched, and his legs were as weak as noodles. I knew that the last thing I wanted to see really happened, and I screamed half in despair and half in pain, and there was a gold star in front of me.
Zhang Siyuan thought that I would only moan low when I was tormented by pain (in fact, I couldn't say any complete sentences at this time), and I stuffed painkillers and kettles into my mouth. I waved my hand weakly, endured the sharp pain like piercing my heart, and said intermittently: "You guys...... Quickly slap me in the face and stun me......"
Wang Linshuo stared at me in surprise with his small eyes. I don't know what happened this time, obviously my painful breathing is not smooth, and my heart hurts like someone put me in a meat grinder, but my brain is still very clear, unlike the previous times when I fell into darkness at every turn. At this moment, I wished I could lose consciousness, and the pain like a wave overwhelmed me, and I didn't even have the strength to struggle.
I was about to explain, but a very rough pain suddenly clenched my heart, and all the strength of my body was drained at once, and I couldn't stand even if two people supported me. Suddenly, my stomach was overturned, my stomach twitched for a while, I coughed a few times, tried my best to push Zhang Siyuan away, and vomited all over the place.
The smell of vomit immediately filled the small space, and my mouth was sour and bitter, and I couldn't even bother to wipe my mouth while covering my stomach, and I sat on the steps and gasped. Hu San didn't do much better than me, and I heard the sound of his gritted breathing and squeaking teeth as he tried his best to endure.
Uncle Lu looked at the two sick numbers worriedly, and then glanced at the darkness behind him that seemed to be able to devour everything, and sighed: "It's good now, even if something comes, you can't run away." ”
Wang Linshuo shook his head, and was about to say something reassuring to round the game, when suddenly a rush of footsteps mixed with the noise of zila came from behind us.
