Chapter 10: Symbols

I was so anxious that I scratched my ears and cheeks, but I couldn't think of any good way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother Yu Tong...... You...... You can try to use that bottle with realgar in it......" Xiao Ruo said weakly.

"That bottle is hard plastic, and your brother Yu Tong didn't have the strength to pinch it."

She suddenly smiled and looked at me with a very strange look. said: "Xiao Ruo didn't want you to pinch it...... But...... But...... Cupping ......"

I slapped my head. That's right! How did I not think of this stubble? The professor's daughter is just different!

"Xiao Ruo, you are so smart!" I praised her, poured out the realgar inside, and wrapped it in paper. This thing can't be lost, if you encounter poisonous insects and poisonous snakes again, it will work. I only know that realgar is used again for poisonous snakes, but I don't know if it is useful for poisonous spiders. But according to folk sayings, realgar has the function of driving away the five poisons. I don't know if it's true or not, but here, it's a treasure.

I cleaned the bottle, shook it dry, and then lit a fire inside, snapping it on Xiao Ruo's wound.

Attracted by atmospheric pressure, black poisonous blood slowly flowed out of the wound. Once the pressure had equalized, the jar began to loosen and fell into my hands.

I was afraid that the smell of blood would attract some fellows, so I dug a hole in the ground and covered it with sand.

After sucking like this three times, Xiao Ruo's face finally improved. I applied white medicine to her wound and put it in bandages.

Can't stay here. Although the poisonous blood was covered with sand, the animal's sense of smell was very sensitive, and it would be terrible if it still found it.

I don't know where the exit is. But I knew there had to be an exit, or that person wouldn't have been able to get in.

But, by feeling, I felt that the passage was getting lower and lower, as if it were leading deep underground. I was secretly alarmed.

"Brother Yu Tong...... I'm hungry! Xiao Ruo on his back suddenly screamed. I looked down slightly at the camera screen, and it was already noon the next day!

Oh yes! How can this time be so fast? Maybe it's too tired! I didn't feel hungry.

I put her down. Take out the man's compressed cookies. I ate it slowly with mineral water.

Eat a dead man's stuff. It made me feel quite uncomfortable. But...... To live, I have to eat.

Xiao Ruo is innocent, and he doesn't seem to have such a burden in my heart. Eat with relish. I smiled, handed her water, and said, "Eat compressed biscuits and drink water while eating, otherwise it will be easy to hold on." ”

She mumbled "Hmm! Well! After a few sounds, he said with a smile: "I used to think that compressed biscuits were bland and tasteless, but I didn't expect them to be so delicious!" ”

At this moment, her condition improved a little, and she returned to her usual pistachio appearance.

Without smiling in my heart, I carried her all the time, although I was tired. But if I had fallen alone in this boundless darkness, and I had been attacked by unknown people from time to time, I was afraid that I would have collapsed.

After resting for a while, I grabbed my backpack and prepared to go again. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruo suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Yu Tong, there are words here!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and looked over to the place where I had put my backpack just now, only to see a few familiar words engraved under the backpack. It's the words I just saw on the dead man's side.

Strange! How can there be a word here? Could it be that the person who engraves the lettering is trying to tell himself or someone else? It's like the forks I drew on the stone wall, which reminds me that I have already walked through that place. What would a descendant think if one day a descendant came here and saw those crosses that I had drawn?

Would he have thought that this passage was in danger? Can't go?

But what does this sign mean? Is it a reminder to future generations, or to himself, to go to this place? Or don't go to this place?

But? It's just a flat stone, there's no passage, what is he doing here?

For the first time in years, I started to feel a headache.

"Brother Yu Tong...... The word seems to have been engraved more than twenty years ago. Moreover, how do I feel that these words are so familiar, it seems that I have seen them somewhere. ”

Xiao Ruo lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Ever seen? I just frowned. Xiao Ruo's home has a lot of archaeological data, maybe she has really seen it on which rubbing.

"What is it?" She muttered, and began to trace the strange words with her fingers. I crouched down and began to ponder his shape, hoping to find a clue from inside.

In this case, there are only two possibilities, either to remind yourself or to remind your companions. But I'm not his companion, and I can't read the meaning of these symbols. However, since someone has left a mark here, someone must have been here. And this person, naturally, came in from the outside, and it is impossible for him to grow out of thin air from this underground, after all, no one is as unlucky as me.

When he came here, there were three possibilities: the first was that he left a mark here and then went out from the place where he came in; The second is that after passing through here, he did not return the way he came, but went out through another exit; The third possibility, the worst possibility. That is, after this person enters here, he never goes out.

Now let's take a closer look at each possibility. If it's the first possibility. Then we choose the road now, and there are two possibilities under this possibility. One is that we chose the direction of the exit as soon as we chose, and we could get out of the underground as quickly as possible. The second possibility is that we chose the opposite road to the exit, reached the destination where the letterer went back then, and found that there was no way, and we turned back. Although it can get out in this way, it has a fatal flaw. That's food and drinking water. When the letterer came here, he must have prepared enough food and water. But I'm different from Xiaoruo. The two of us only have food for one person. If we choose the wrong direction and turn back, we are likely to starve to death before we reach the exit.

The second is probably the best one, no matter which direction we choose, we can get out the fastest.

As for the third, if we have chosen the direction of the exit. That's for the best. But if we choose the direction in which the letterer is going, it is more than lucky. If the letterer did not go out and died here, then it can also be assumed that there are two ways to die. First: starved to death due to the depletion of food and water. So that we can find his body. But it didn't work either. Because he won't leave food for us. Even if you have to keep it. But according to Xiao Ruo, it was more than 20 years ago, and the food turned into mud. If this happens to us, it will also be the end of starvation. The second cause of death is death from an external attack. For example, traps and beasts. If it's a trap, he might have left something for us, but there would never be food. But we can also turn back (as long as we don't die under the trap). If it is because of the beast that we die, then we will be more than lucky. Although the beast may not still be there, we can't find the body, and it is possible that one of them will go down this direction and die here.
