Chapter 42: The Narrow Passage

As the fat man shouted, Gao Chao and Xia Qing also hurriedly looked at the corner where the zongzi were standing, but they were shocked to find that the corner was now empty, and there was no trace of the dried corpse at all.

Suddenly, no one dared to make a sound, but they were all stunned, at a loss, Gao Chao even felt his scalp tingle, and said in his heart Could it be that in the darkness just now, the zongzi got up and ran away?

Thinking of this, Gao Chao quickly raised the candle and looked around the basement, although the candlelight was not bright, but at this moment it could also illuminate the entire basement.

Gao Chao looked left and right, but found that the basement was still empty, and except for the three of them who could breathe, there was not even a ghost to see it.

Now that such a thing happened, no one had any idea, and the fat man hurriedly said to Gao Chao: "Old Gao, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, I think we'd better go out quickly!" ”

Gao Chao nodded, he didn't have any other thoughts, he just wanted to take a step, but Xia Qing next to him grabbed him and said coldly: "Boss Gao, let me keep the little book." ”

As soon as Xia Qing said this, Gao Chao remembered that as soon as the candlelight went out just now, in a panic, he took out the small book from the belly of the dried corpse, and then stuffed it into his pocket casually, but he didn't want to think that under such a situation at this moment, this Xia Qing could still think about the small book, she was really a not simple woman.

Although this small book was taken out by Gao Chao, this is Xia Qing's home after all, not to mention that the small book is likely to be Xia Lao's relic, so Gao Chao was helpless, so he had to reach out and take it out at the moment, ready to return it to Xia Qing.

At this moment, in the candlelight, the small book is already in Gao Chao's hand, its cowhide cover, the paper is a little yellow, but only half of the book is left, I think it must have been eaten and destroyed by the hateful big rat.

Xia Qing took the small book, saw that there was only half a copy left, and it was difficult to hide the look of loss, and then saw the fair notes on the book, and sighed and shook his head gently, his face was full of sadness, Gao Chao saw this, and he already understood a thing or two, Xia Qing must be a person who sees things, and at this moment he sees that the notes on the small book are written by his grandfather, and he can't help but be reminded of the sad past, so Gao Chao wants to quickly say something and comfort Xia Qing.

But before Gao Chao could speak, the fat man urged on the side: "I said can you two do it?" Let's talk about something up to it! What the is going on now, there's a big dumpling missing here! ”

The fat man shouted, and he had already run towards the passage where he came, Xia Qing quickly cheered up, put away the small notebook, and then nodded to Gao Chao embarrassedly.

Gao Chao pursed his lips and nodded, meaning that he could understand her difficulties, so he followed behind the fat man with Xia Qing and went to the passage.

The fat man came to the entrance of the passage, although he was in a hurry to leave here, but he did not get into it first, but stood at the entrance of the passage and said anxiously: "Quick, you two are in front, and I am behind!" ”

Superb tacit understanding, he already understands what the fat man means, after all, the fat man has a special body, and it is quite difficult to drill this passage sideways, and the current situation is so urgent, he naturally wants to enter last.

So Gao Chao nodded and said, "I'm in front, Miss Xia is following me, the fat man has your royal highness!" ”

After speaking, Gao Chao carried the candle sideways into the narrow passage.

Then Xia Qing also followed, and the fat man followed, tightening his abdomen and lifting his buttocks, and then he barely squeezed in.

In the passage, it is still dark, fortunately, Gao Chao has a candle in his hand at the moment, which can shine a little farther, but in the narrow passage, it still gives people an extremely depressing feeling, especially at this moment, the passage is still echoing with the friction sound of "stinging, stinging, stinging", which makes people feel even more indescribably depressed.

The sound was naturally made by the fat man's belly rubbing against the wall, there was really no way to do this, and the fat man himself was very helpless, at the moment he followed last, holding the mobile phone in his hand, and while walking forward, he used the faint light of the mobile phone to shine behind him.

Behind the fat man, there was darkness, and every step he took, the darkness would follow, which made him very nervous, and beads of sweat poured out of his forehead.

Although this passage is not short, but it is not too long, when he came in, Gao Chao had secretly measured his steps, about seven or eight meters, but at this moment when he walked, he inexplicably felt that this place seemed to have become a lot longer, at this moment he had walked a few steps six or seven meters away, but he did not see the front became spacious, at this moment Gao Chao suddenly had a feeling, how this passage seemed to be a tunnel that could never be walked out, this idea was just a flash, but it also made him shudder, thinking that this must be some kind of illusion he had, Immediately, I hurried up my pace, wanting to get out of here immediately.

However, although he walked quickly, he found that the passage in front of him was still the same, straight and straight, pitch black, still so narrow that they could not cross it.

At this time, Xia Qing, who had been following him, seemed to feel that something was wrong, and whispered to Gao Chao in front of him while gasping: "Boss Gao, isn't the front over yet?" ”

Gao Chao stopped, looked back at Xia Qing and shook his head, but didn't say anything, Xia Qing saw Gao Chao like this, he already basically understood what happened, but he couldn't believe such a fact, and he didn't know what to say at the moment.

And the fat man behind them also followed up with a snort at this time, panting and scolding in a low voice: "Why is this ghost place so long? I didn't have such a hard time when I came in, why haven't I walked out yet, my belly is a little unbearable! ”

But as the fat man spoke, he looked at Gao Chao and Xia Qing in front of him, the two of them were looking at him speechlessly, and their faces were a little pale, so they felt something, and hurriedly said, "Don't scare me!" You won't be so much back today, will you? I just met a ghost blowing out the lamp, and the zongzi play is missing, and now I want the ghost to hit the wall? ”

Ghost hitting the wall, is a folk legend, generally refers to someone walking in the wilderness at night, I don't know why, but it is difficult to distinguish the direction, although the line of sight is not blocked, but no matter what, but can not reach the destination, or even trapped in a certain place can not get out, this is the so-called ghost hitting the wall.

At that moment, the fat man suspected that they had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and he said it at once, in fact, Gao Chao was not surprised when he heard it, because they had already walked out of this passage that was only seven or eight meters away, at least more than 20 meters away, so he had already thought of the words "ghost hitting the wall".

It's just that Gao Chao considered that everyone had been frightened a lot before, and felt that it was better not to make a noise at the moment, worried that saying it would make everyone even more panicked.

And the fat man has a straightforward personality, he will say it when he thinks of it, and he will not regret it, so Gao Chao heard the fat man talk like this, and there was no way to take him, this is nature, and he has long been used to it.

However, Xia Qing heard the fat man say this, but she was already nervous, although she went to England to study in her early years, but she also heard of Chinese legends, how could she not know about this ghost hitting the wall.

So Xia Qing's face turned even paler, but he still said calmly: "It's a bit early to draw such a conclusion, ghosts hitting walls generally happen in open places, and the reason is just that humans walk in the dark and it is difficult to find the illusion caused by the reference, but now this passage is so narrow and straight, how can it happen that ghosts hit the wall?" I think it's unlikely! ”

The fat man listened to Xia Qing's words, but he didn't quite agree with her point of view, and said a little contemptuously: "This Miss Xia is one-sided!" ”

Xia Qing is a confident woman, and when the fat man speaks like this, she is naturally not convinced, so she said coldly: "If the fat boss has a high opinion, I would like to hear it." ”

The fat man straightened his chest at this time, but he was helpless in the narrow passage, he was really uncomfortable, he frowned and scolded at the moment, and then said angrily: "If you want to say that this ghost hits the wall, then you have to say which kind of way, the general ghost hits the wall, it is naturally a coward walking at night, and he can't get out for a while, scaring himself, in fact, there is no such thing as a little ghost covering his eyes and a big ghost changing the road, those are pure nonsense!" But there are some ghosts hitting the wall, I'm afraid you haven't heard of it......"
