Chapter 135: Copper kettle and oil

A faint light at the bottom of the abyss valley flickered faintly, like fireflies flying in the dark night sky in summer, so small but so dazzling, the footsteps of the two of them kept resounding in the deep valley, "San'er, how long have we been walking?" Zhang Renshan stopped and turned around with a torch and asked, after the white light ghost fire disappeared, the two of them kept walking towards the side of the deep valley, and almost never stopped under their feet, San'er followed Zhang Renshan's footsteps and also stopped and looked around and shook his head: "This kind of underground deep valley is almost the same on both sides, I can't see how far we have walked, plus we are now in a cave, there is no sun, moon and stars above our heads, I can't confirm how long we have walked", Zhang Renshan raised his eyes and looked around, The rock walls on both sides are towering, and the top of their heads is pitch black and hazy, and it is indeed difficult to find out how long the two of them have been walking, San'er sighed and said to Zhang Renshan: "Go slowly!" Now, if we want to get out of here, we can only see how fate arranges! Zhang Renshan listened to San'er's words and didn't say much, and continued to move forward with the torch in his hand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The two of them went forward for a long time, the ground of the deep valley began to gradually become less flat than before, not to mention the stumbling, there were some dry and unsightly broken wood branches from time to time, those dry broken wood branches were the smallest and the thickness of Zhang Renshan's arm, but its weight was light and ruthless and very fragile, and such broken wood branches could be broken with a pinch of their hands, San'er stopped Zhang Renshan, who was still walking in front, and then bent down and picked up a broken piece of wood from the ground and looked up and down, The whole section of wood had completely dried up and the inside had become a hollow, and the upper hand knocked it out with a dull and empty sound. Zhang Renshan didn't know what San'er was going to do, so he stood aside with a torch and watched, after a long time, he saw that San'er kept moving those rotten wood on the ground, Zhang Renshan couldn't hold back, and said: "San'er, what do you have to see about these broken wood?" Let's move on! I don't know how far away it is! San'er waved his hand at Zhang Renshan and didn't speak, and continued to pick up some hollow dead wood on the ground to inspect, Zhang Renshan saw that San'er didn't pay attention to his heart, and his heart was not good, and he raised his foot and stepped on a section of dead wood under his feet, and the dead wood was broken immediately, and there was a crisp sound, and there were rock walls on both sides of the deep valley, and the sound was easy to be gathered and then amplified and spread around, San'er was picking up dead wood on the ground, and suddenly heard the sound and quickly turned his head to the direction where the sound came, I saw that Zhang Renshan stepped on a section of wood and there was nothing else important, so San'er retracted his heart and continued to look down at the broken wood in his hand and was stunned. Zhang Renshan saw that his trick was useless, so he shook his head helplessly, came to San'er's side, and then said: "I said, San'er, what are you doing here?" Can't we go? There's still a long way to go! San'er looked up at Zhang Renshan and said, "Xian'er, don't make noise first!" I feel like there's something wrong with this! "Questions? What's wrong with all this rotten wood? Zhang Renshan looked at San'er and said, San'er listened to Zhang Renshan's words and shook his head, then pointed to the wood on the ground and said: "Xian'er, you come to see these woods are almost hollow, I just looked for a long time and didn't have a solid one, doesn't this mean anything?" ”

Zhang Renshan turned his head sideways and looked at the opening and said, "It seems that it is really all hollow, but does this mean anything?" Hollow is hollow! It may be that all the things in the heart of the wood have been corroded after a long time", San'er shook his head when he listened to Zhang Renshan's words: "Xian'er, you are only half right, so the wood may have become hollow because of time, but there must be a sequence, or there must be a distinction between the old and the new!" But you look at the hollow wood under our feet now, the appearance is almost all rotten, naturally it will be like this for a long time, but the degree of decay is almost the same, it is a little wrong, here is the underground all year round without sunshine, wind and rain, this state of decay is obviously not in this deep valley, you want to say that one or two special cases appear that can, but Xian'er, you now look at the ground around us, this is a piece of rotten dead wood, do you dare to say normal? After listening to San'er's words, Zhang Renshan picked up a piece of dead wood, and then looked around, there were figures of this kind of wood everywhere, and even the place where the two of them were going to go next had been covered with this kind of dead wood. Click" two crisp sounds Zhang Renshan turned his head violently, only to see San'er squatting on the ground and breaking a branch on a broken wood with his hand, the branch also completely lost its moisture and became very dry and fragile, San'er didn't move his hand a few times, the branch was completely broken off from the broken wood, "San'er, what are you going to do here?" Zhang Renshan looked at San'er's strange behavior and said, San'er heard Zhang Renshan's words, stood up from the ground, grabbed the branch that was broken off by himself with his hand, and said: "Xian'er, you use a torch to light this dead branch!" Zhang Renshan was stunned for a moment after hearing the words, and wanted to cooperate, but he still spoke first: "San'er, this broken branch is not burning, don't waste the torch, let's just ...... this one", San'er didn't wait for Zhang Renshan to finish speaking, raised the dead branch in his hand that he had just broken off and put it on Zhang Renshan's torch, Zhang Renshan wanted to ask San'er to take it away, but in the blink of an eye, the dead branch was really ignited by the flame on the torch, and the fire on the dead branch was as good as the one on the torch, and the two of them immediately became a lot brighter, Zhang Renshan was still surprised, but San'er was slightly happy to move the lit dry branch from the torch to his front and take a closer look: I saw that the flames on the dead branch were burning very vigorously, although the light emitted was bigger than the torch, but the only thing was that the speed of burning the dead branch was too fast, but in an instant, it had burned to the position where San'er was holding the dead branch, and the scorching air wave immediately stabbed San'er's hand, and San'er had to let go of his hand, otherwise he would have to be burned by the fire. Zhang Renshan watched the burning dead branch abandoned by San'er, and quickly retracted his mind from the surprise, and went up directly to step on the dead branch that fell to the ground on fire, San'er was still checking whether his hands were burned, but when he saw Zhang Renshan slamming on the dead branch he had thrown away just now, he opened his mouth and asked him what was wrong, Zhang Renshan stepped on it a few times, and finally stepped on the flame on the dead branch, heard San'er's question, and turned around: "This kind of thing is everywhere on the ground, just now I saw this thing and saw the open flame, I was afraid that the fire on this dead branch would ignite the dead wood on the other ground, so I came and trampled on it, and you all know that this thing is dangerous, and you still throw it around, and want to set fire to the company camp."

San'er smiled and said, "Xian'er, don't worry!" This withered branch itself is not burning", Zhang Renshan was stunned when he heard it: "San'er, you don't open your eyes and talk nonsense!" You and I have seen this withered branch catch fire when it sees it, and it burns very badly, how can you say that it doesn't burn? San'er didn't speak, but lowered his head again and took out a small copper kettle from behind the broken wood that had been broken by him before, and handed it to Zhang Renshan: "See for yourself!" Zhang Renshan handed the torch in his hand to San'er and took a look at the small copper kettle he handed over, this copper kettle is only the size of a palm, the small spout is connected to a flat belly, and there is a lid on the spout, if you don't pull it hard, it can't be opened at all, and there is no decoration on the copper kettle, even the carving is not just a simple small copper kettle, Zhang Renshan looked at it for a long time and didn't figure out what this copper kettle was for, so he had to look up and look at San'er and said: " What is San'er used for? It can't be drinking water, right? It doesn't look like it can hold much", San'er shook his head and nodded the lid of the small copper kettle and said, "You open it and smell it!" Zhang Renshan nodded, opened the lid of the copper kettle with a force in his hand, brought his nose closer, and smelled a strong smell of fire oil: "This is...... Oh...... You kid...... I see! I said, "Why is that broken wood on fire!" As he spoke, Zhang Renshan put the lid of the small copper kettle back again, stretched out his hand and returned it to San'er, who handed over the torch in his hand, took the small copper kettle, and then said, "Understood!" That's why I said don't worry, but these dead branches are too bad to withstand burning, I just grew up and just dropped a little fire oil on that dead branch, and before the fire came up, how much wood was burned out", Zhang Renshan held the torch handed over by San'er in his hand and looked at the small copper kettle filled with fire oil in San'er's hand and said: "San'er, how did you find this thing?" Did you see it when you went to break the dead branches? San'er listened to Zhang Renshan's words and nodded: "Didn't I tell you that these woods are weird just now!" I don't think you believe it and want to break some dead branches down to explain to you, but I didn't expect that when I lowered my head and was about to fold the dead branches, this thing came out of the broken wood, I thought at first that this small copper kettle was used to hold water, but when I picked it up and looked at the size, I felt that it was not, and then I opened the lid and smelled a smell of fire oil to know that this thing dared to be used to hold the things that ignited the fire, and then ...... I tried it and didn't think it would be very successful, but it was just a little burning", Zhang Renshan touched his head after listening to San'er's explanation and then continued: "Oh! I see, eh! San'er: If this thing appears here, does it mean that someone has been to this place before? Otherwise, it is impossible to lose this kind of thing containing the thing that ignites the fire here", San'er listened to Zhang Renshan's words and thought for a while, looked at the small copper kettle in his hand and said: "This is not easy to confirm, this copper kettle is not carved and decorated, and I don't know who is wearing it, and the place where it was found is under the dead wood, you said that someone lost it here before, that is definitely right, after all, nature is powerful and it is impossible to form this kind of thing naturally, but when it was lost, we don't know." It may have been a day or two ago, or it could have been dozens of days ago, but it definitely couldn't have been a few years ago, the reason! The remaining half pot of oil is the best answer."

Zhang Renshan listened to San'er's words, nodded, looked at the torch in his hand, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "San'er, do you say that the torch in my hand is also the previous master of this small copper kettle?" The reason why this torch was thrown on the ground was precisely because there was no small copper kettle filled with fire oil on his body to refill the oil", San'er was stunned for a moment after listening to Zhang Renshan's words and said: "Okay! Xian'er, you can have this head! I just wanted to tell you that there is such a possibility, you can figure it out yourself, yes, the torch we picked up before is likely to be the owner of this small copper kettle......" Speaking of this, San'er suddenly froze as if he remembered something, stood in place, turned his head, and looked in the direction where the two came, Zhang Renshan didn't know what happened, listening to San'er's words, he didn't say anything halfway, but looked in the direction where the two came, and hurriedly followed San'er to ask what's wrong, San'er didn't speak for a while, only to hear him mutter: "So that's the case!" Wrong...... That...... Could it be ...... No, I have to get out of here with Xian'er! Zhang Renshan stood aside and listened to San'er's muttering, but he didn't know what he was talking about, so he had to say again: "San'er, what's wrong with you?" You wouldn't say evil, would you? San'er turned his head to look at Zhang Renshan and said, "No!" I just thought of something just now", "What's the matter?" Zhang Renshan looked at San'er, whose face was already a little pale, and asked, "Xian'er, listen to me, haven't we seen a dried corpse before!" That corpse is probably the owner of these things we have now! San'er pointed to the torch in Zhang Renshan's hand and shook the small copper kettle in his hand and said, "Ah......?" That is the master of these things? Can't! San'er, didn't you also see that corpse, to say the least, it would take years to become like that! If it is really the master of these things, then how to explain the fire oil in this copper kettle? Zhang Renshan looked at San'er in surprise, and San'er looked back at the direction where the two came before speaking: "Xian'er, do you remember the final fate of the red-haired monster we saw when we were on the rock wall?" Zhang Renshan nodded: "Remember!" It's only been a matter of how long it has been, isn't it just a ......" Zhang Renshan said this, and immediately stopped, and the whole person was dumbfounded for a moment, and then stumbled: "San'er, you mean...... This... This... Bottom ...... There is ......", San'er blocked Zhang Renshan's mouth with his hand and nodded, and then said: "I know what you want to say, but now we are just guessing, there is definitely something in this deep valley that we don't expect, as for what you and I don't have to pursue, our purpose is to save people, at least now the direction must be right, so many man-made things left on the ground just point out the way for us", Zhang Renshan nodded and signaled San'er to take his hand away, San'er withdrew his hand, The two glanced at each other, no longer lingering, avoiding some hollow dead wood on the ground, and walked on......
