Chapter 35: The U-Curve (Part I)
Of course, further identification will have to wait until the locator is seen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As we walked, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye we reached a fork in the road.
It is said that it is a fork in the road, but it is not a fork in the road, but it is more like walking here and suddenly there is no way, and then someone dug up a passage about three people wide, and piled up the excavated gravel blocks in the middle of the passage at will, dividing a large hole one meter wide, and a small hole half a meter wide, the roof of the big hole is 60 centimeters high, and the roof of the small hole is only about 40 centimeters high.
All in all, it looks a little weird. I motioned for Ah Li to stop first, took her flashlight, and stepped forward to check.
The digging marks in this hole are very messy, and there are all directions, not like the products of normal human consciousness; When you look closely, each of these digging marks has a thick head and a sharp tail, and they are all about ten centimeters long, and they dig very deep. If it is done by human beings using tools, then this person's strength is definitely not ordinary, like a beast; But if it is some kind of animal that catches it with its claws, then this animal must not be something we can resist.
Naturally, these words can't be told to Ah Li, so they can only be swallowed in their stomachs. The flashlight then hit the side, and the gravel dug out next to it blocked the middle of the passage into a wall, completely separating the small hole, I took the flashlight and shone it, but I didn't expect that even the cracks in the stone were blocked by the stone, and the light could not pass through at all.
The large and small gravel that fell on the ground was also several layers thick, so it was impossible to tell which way they were going based on the footprints, because there was no one to leave footprints on the stones (if you have something on the soles of your feet, don't lift the bar with me).
I didn't go any further, but exited and briefly explained the situation to Ah Li, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Ah Li squatted at the entrance of the big cave and looked around, and said, "I think it's a little strange. When people dig holes, they put the excavated soil and rocks in a place that is out of the way, and this is the first time I have seen it in the middle of the road. ”
I swallowed the second guess at that time and didn't say anything, but only said the first one, and followed Ah Li's train of thought: "It is also possible that two teams of people are working at the same time, one team digging the left side and the other team digging the right side, and they all habitually throw the excavated stones behind them, that is, in the middle of the passage." ”
Ah Li immediately shook her head: "No, if two teams are working at the same time, it means that this place requires a lot of work, at least a passage that can accommodate three people to pass through at the same time, but they blocked the stone in the middle of the passage, won't this passage lose its original meaning and become narrower?" ”
I was asked by Ah Li, yes, why do such a futile thing?
If it were me, I would have walked here and suddenly found that I was cornered, my first reaction would definitely be to turn back the way I came, and my second reaction would be to open up a new path - this is a bit like killing God and killing Buddha when I meet Buddha, but it is a bit similar to the style of my brother and sister.
At this time, in order to get out as soon as possible, my normal thinking must be that I am not willing to spend more time and effort, I just need to dig a road that can accommodate my personal passage.
But at that time, for some reason, I didn't do it, but dug a broad road that could accommodate three people at the same time, and I fucking piled up the sealing stones in the middle of the road...... Why is this done? Could it be that there was a super fat man among my companions, who alone occupied the land of three people, so he had to dig the hole wider? However, in the process of digging the hole, this fat man worked hard and became a thin man, so the road narrowed again?
I was thinking about it when Ah Li suddenly said: "Brother Qianyi, perhaps, we can't think about this matter with human thinking, in case this hole is not dug by people......
In such an environment, Ah Li's sudden voice startled me, and it was not a human business, and my heart was furious when I heard it, and my scalp was numb.
Ah Li's thoughts coincided with my second guess at the time, and it was only a matter of time before I thought of this step when I couldn't explain it to a normal person's thinking.
My eyes couldn't help but sweep around the digging marks of the big hole, and when I saw five scratches three centimeters deep side by side, I immediately shuddered in my heart, if it was really some kind of animal, this claw was too sharp, one claw could actually grab a complete piece of natural granite out of a fist-sized hole, if it was caught on a person...... Oh my God, I'm afraid half of my body will be scratched through.
As the only man here, I have to cheer up and give Ah Li courage, but also give myself courage. I said, "Either way, we're going to prepare for the worst!" From now on, hold all the weapons in your hands, always be vigilant, beasts like to sneak up on people from behind, Ah Li, you go ahead of me for a while, in case of emergencies, don't care about anything, let go of the whip first. ”
Ah Li nodded, cautiously holding the nine-tailed whip in her hand, I continued: "There is no point in discussing the design concept of these two holes here, anyway, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a curse that cannot be avoided, in short, let's be careful." Xiao Dui is tracking the man in black all the way to this place, and he definitely doesn't have time to think so much like us, but since he knows that we are still behind, when he encounters a fork in the road, he will inevitably leave a mark at the intersection. Ah Li, you look for it from the small hole, I look for it from the big hole, the usual mark of the junior brother is an inverted triangle, you see if there is anything near the entrance of the cave. ”
When I finished it, I remembered that there was only one flashlight, and my lighter fell off the cliff and I don't know where it fell. At this time, Ah Li took out another lighter from her personal pocket and gave it to me, it seemed that it was a private item, and I didn't take it out when I collected the equipment and redistributed it before.
After Ah Li gave it to me, he drilled into the small hole, obviously not wanting to explain more to me. When she left, the light was dimmed, and I vaguely felt that this lighter was a little familiar, and it felt good, with a metal shell, and I knew that it was a high-quality foreign product.
I groped for the big hole, clicked open, and when I boarded, I was stunned, this is not the one I sent out!
In 1933, the first metal lighter produced in the United States, once it came out, quickly occupied the market with its windproof technology that can meet the ignition needs of any harsh conditions, and the ignition can last for 15-20 minutes, which is the first choice for field explorers. Most of the ones sold on the market now are fakes, and this one was purchased by me from his second uncle, who was a soldier at the border. At that time, I bought a total of two, one for my junior brother, and the other for my own use, but later Ah Li saw it and said she liked it, so I gave it to her.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, this little guy went around and returned to me, how to sing that song, and it was fated to meet thousands of miles away!
Looking for it, I remembered the eyes behind the flames, cold and cold, not at all angry, easily reminiscent of a dead person. But the strange thing is that my first reaction at that time was not that it was a dead man, but felt a little familiar, such a pair of calm eyes, as if I had seen it somewhere...... I thought about it a little and remembered, cold bench!
Could it be that he is the "snake" introduced by his junior brother - the man in black?
