Chapter 162: Alone (6)
In fact, Qiao Liang had vaguely guessed some things at this time, but when he heard Zhou Ji confirm it in person, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"You haven't been down? That means there's no way you can guarantee that it's safe underneath! And didn't Wang Yao come up at all? If you have learned from the past, you shouldn't go down! Do you know what it means to die? Have you ever seen a ghost movie? Even if you are the protagonist of the movie, this is purely a brainless act of seeking death! ”
Zhou Ji said calmly: "Hmm. I know. That's why I'm going down. ”
"What?"
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that his words would always have a little effect on Zhou Ji, at least it would make this man who seemed to be in a very bad state feel a little hesitant psychologically, so that he could take a break for a while. Maybe after he's gone to sleep, he won't have the urge to jump into the hole again.
But now looking at Zhou Ji's appearance, Qiao Liang's words not only did not have any impact on him, but was even perfunctory by the other party.
No way! You can't just give up. Last time, Wang Yao insisted on jumping into that abyss because he didn't listen to his persuasion, and this time he had to persuade this stubborn donkey who didn't know whether to live or die no matter what!
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang's head immediately shook like a rattle. He persuaded bitterly in a kind of tone that a father and mother taught their son:
"What do you tell me you have to say. Is there anything in the world that must be done? There's absolutely no one option for you, so why can't you think about it? It's not that I mean, you adults are sometimes more stubborn than we are. Why don't you understand things that I can see clearly at my age? I know you might want to go down and find out, but that's why Wang Yao was in that underground abyss because of this... Hey, don't talk about it. You're not going to do this kind of self-defeating thing when you know the end, are you? I guess you won't be that stupid! Hey, are you listening to me? ”
Zhou Ji casually let out a "hmm" from his nasal cavity, at this time he had already assembled the flight suit, and was sitting on the grass massaging his temples with the index fingers of both hands, the dark circles under his closed eyes were extremely heavy, and a fool could see how bad this person's current state was.
Qiao Liang was stunned again. He didn't expect that his tirade would only be exchanged for such a simple response. In addition, he was not quite sure what Zhou Ji was thinking now, and he didn't know how to say it for a while. However, although he couldn't be sure what Zhou Ji's silence meant now, the other party didn't jump into the hole without putting on his clothes, is this a good thing? Has this man changed his mind?
However, before Qiao Liang's doubts could dissipate, Zhou Ji had already opened his bloodshot eyes, stood up, and neatly put the flying suit on his body. As soon as he saw this situation, Qiao Liang couldn't help but want to scold, but in the end, he tried his best to endure it, stepped forward quickly, grabbed the other party's arm and said:
"Hey, Zhou Ji, what do you want to do? I've said that, why do you still want to go down to the cave? You..."
However, before he finished speaking, Zhou Ji's body was crooked under his tugging, and he almost fell. This startled Qiao Liang, and he hurriedly supported the man's solid arm. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: strange, although this guy's physique is not as good as those muscular men, he is always trained to have a much stronger body than ordinary people, why is he going to fall when he pulls it now?
Zhou Ji did not speak. He staggered and sat on the grass again with Qiao Liang's support, and sighed in frustration:
"Alas... Looks like I really can't go down now. ”
Hearing this, Qiao Liang finally relaxed his tense nerves a little. Although he can't guarantee whether Zhou Ji has changed his mind, people who can say what they can't say will never rush to the cave and jump down because of emotion, right? I don't have to stare at this guy anymore. Qiao Liang thought. Then he sat on the grass not far from Zhou Ji, looked at the other party's tired face and asked:
"It's good if you decide not to go down, this is the wisest choice, eat and rest and do other things later... Hey, but then again, what have you been doing for so long today, how did you make yourself worse than begging for food? ”
Zhou Ji's eyes were a little straight, and the reflex arc seemed to have become longer. He frowned and was silent for a few seconds, as if thinking about what Qiao Liang's words meant. After a while, he finally spoke:
"I... I tried. ”
"Huh? What have you tried? Qiao Liang was stunned, "Please, big brother, why can't you even speak clearly after a long time?" Don't worry about it, just summarize it, and it's not about reading the title of the article, you just say a few words to me, how do I know what you mean? ”
Zhou Ji was still stunned, and then said faintly: "What do you mean... How do I know what it means? I also want to know, so I'm going down. ”
"Gotta get it! Big brother, I'll serve you, I'll obey you, right?! I don't understand a word, don't say it! Qiao Liang was already waiting restlessly. His curiosity was completely replaced by impatience, and the guy didn't know which tendon was wrong and couldn't understand anything for a while. He just wanted to get angry, but then he thought:
Alas, forget it. It's quite pitiful to see this guy's miserable appearance, and his brain is too tired to react. Although he wanted to know what had happened before, it was not good to be so pressing, so he simply waited for him to rest before saying hello.
Thinking about it like this, Qiao Liang's anger disappeared most of it in an instant. He stood up, patted the grass clippings on his buttocks, walked up to Zhou Ji, stretched out his hand and said:
"Let's not talk about it yet. I don't think you're doing well right now, so go to bed first, get a good night's sleep, and use me to help you up..."
But before his words fell, Zhou Ji's body, who had been dumb and unresponsive, suddenly shook violently, and immediately covered his head in pain and screamed loudly: "No!! No!!!! No!!!! No way!!! Absolutely not!!! Absolutely not!!! ”
Qiao Liang was frightened and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? What's wrong? Oh my God, you're scared to death, what's not to do? What do you say no? ”
Zhou Ji raised his head abruptly and grabbed Qiao Liang's outstretched arm, at this time, his face was distorted like a demon in hell, and his voice was hoarse and painful: "I can't sleep." I can't sleep. Absolutely, can't sleep!! ”
