Chapter 135: Cracks in the Mountain
Everyone followed behind Da Lao Hei, and when they saw him poke his head out of the hole, they all seemed to be holding their breath at the moment, waiting for Da Lao Hei to turn back and speak.
After a long while, the old man retracted his head, sat down at the entrance of the cave, lit a cigarette, and said nothing.
Everyone's faces lost color, knowing that the situation was not good, the second-to-last fat man at the moment couldn't help it, so he shouted loudly from behind: "Brother Hei! What's the situation? Why don't you guys go out? ”
The big old black took two puffs of cigarette, sighed and said, "It's the end of the front, and I can't get out." ”
Everyone didn't understand what it meant, and Wang Lianba, who was behind him, hurriedly said, "Why can't you get out?" What's going on, hurry up and make it clear! ”
Da Lao Hei glanced at the people behind him, and then said helplessly: "As soon as you go out in front, there is a cliff, and it is dark everywhere, and you can't see anything." ”
"Cliffs?" Wang Lianba's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard, so he continued: "How can there be a cliff in this mountain? This...... How is this possible? ”
Lao Lai in the back also said: "Yes, could it be that there is already a snowy mountain in front?" ”
Da Lao Hei said: "It's not out of the snow mountain, it should still be in the mountain, but there is a huge mountain crack in front of it, and if you go out from here, you have to fall directly." ”
Only then did the people behind understand what was going on.
The fat man listened to it and asked loudly, "How wide is the crack?" Can you find a way to get there? ”
The big old black shook his head and said, "I can't see the situation on the other side clearly, it's too dark outside." ”
At this moment, Xia Qing came to his senses, poked the torch out of the hole again, and then cautiously poked out.
She looked up and down again, to the left and right, and there was darkness around her, and in spite of the torches, the light seemed to be swallowed up in the darkness.
Xia Qing shook his head, he really couldn't figure out what was going on, why there was such a crack in the middle of the mountain in such a big Gawa Gapu Snow Mountain, although it was normal to have cracks in the mountain, but such a huge crack was really magnificent, especially at this moment, even if he was holding a torch, he couldn't even see the rock wall opposite in front of him, he only knew that it seemed to be dark, but he couldn't judge the distance and distance.
At this moment, Gao Chao was at the back, and he also heard the current situation clearly, but he suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly shouted to the front: "Use the headlamp, focus the headlight line, and see if you can illuminate the opposite stone wall!" ”
Xia Qing didn't have a headlamp on her body, and when she ran out to avoid the avalanche just now, she only carried her backpack in a panic, but the big old black next to her reacted at once, and immediately snuffed out the cigarette butt, and then quickly turned on the headlamp, and then focused the light of the headlamp and shone it towards the opposite side.
I didn't expect this method to be good, much stronger than the light of the torch, a pillar of light hit the opposite rock wall, although it was also pitch black, but it could be visually measured, the width of the crack in the mountain.
Xia Qing took a look and said, "The opposite side is here, it's almost ...... It's about seven or eight meters. ”
Da Lao Hei also added: "The distance seen in the dark will be farther than the actual distance, and I estimate that it will be about five or six meters." ”
When Gao Chao heard this, he shouted from behind: "Five or six meters is not too far, why can't you see it with a torch?" ”
Xia Qing thought for a while and said, "Although the light of the torch is larger, it is not concentrated, and I just found that the stone walls seem to be covered with a kind of moss, which may have a light-absorbing effect, so I can't see the situation on the other side clearly." ”
Xia Qing explained, Gao Chao was not in the mood to listen to this, he was only thinking about how to escape from here now.
So Gao Chao said anxiously in the back: "You guys look for it, see if there is a similar cave on the opposite rock wall, if there is, we can find a way to climb over, we can't sit here and wait for death!" ”
Da Lao Hei nodded at this time, and quickly looked at the opposite side again.
However, the rock wall on the opposite side does seem to be able to absorb light, and the beam of the headlamp shines on it, as if it has been absorbed all at once, and there is no reflection at all.
And on the stone walls on both sides, there is actually that kind of moss, just because this gap does not know how deep, and the geothermal heat at the bottom of it produces moist hot air, and with this gap rises, so that these special mosses can survive.
However, these mosses survived, but they caused a lot of problems for Xia Qing and Da Lao Hei.
It stands to reason that there is only a distance of five or six meters, so no matter how you look at it, you can easily see the situation on the opposite side, but the actual situation is not like this, at this moment, Da Lao Hei and Xia Qing are holding headlamps, just like two "staring blind", no matter how you look at it, you really can't see the details on the opposite rock wall, let alone find a way out of the cave.
At this time, Wang Lianba, who was behind them, was also a little impatient, he climbed a few steps forward, and said, "Why don't you try it, is it possible for those mosses growing on the rock wall to support people." ”
Da Lao Hei nodded, as if he understood what Wang Lianba meant, he was talking to see if those special mosses were possible to be very strong, if they could, at least people could climb on these mosses and climb out to see the situation.
Xia Qing hurriedly said: "This is unlikely, the moss is very thin, and it is very slippery, not to mention such a steep rock wall, even if it grows on the ground, it is easy for people to slip and fall when they step on it." ”
However, the old black said: "I also know this, but I also paid attention to these mosses just now, it seems that they are not the same as the moss we know, this kind of is more like vines attached to the rocks." ”
As he spoke, Da Lao Hei had already reached out and grabbed the rock wall next to the cave, he grabbed this handful, he wanted to catch some of that kind of moss to see, but he didn't expect that he used a lot of strength, and he really didn't pull it.
So the old black retracted his hand and said, "It's really a bit strong, I'll try it." ”
Xia Qing hurriedly used a torch to illuminate the big old black on the side, and said, "Be careful, it's best to install some insurance on your body." ”
At this time, the old man who was in the back hurriedly said: "I still have a chain here, I don't know if I can use it." ”
As he spoke, Lao Lai handed the chain to Da Lao Hei, so Da Lao Hei tied the chain to his waist, and the other end was straightened back and tied to the fat man's waist, so that it was finally more safe.
Da Lao Hei slowly leaned out half of his body, and then firmly grasped the mossy vines on the rock wall outside the cave with both hands, he took a deep breath, and the whole person climbed out.
Although it was pitch black outside, the physical and psychological qualities of Da Lao Hei were beyond the reach of ordinary people, and at this moment he was lying on the rock wall alone, with his feet on those moss-like plants, and it was very relaxed.
So he became bold and crawled to the rock wall below the cave.
Xia Qing cautiously poked his head out, holding a torch in one hand to illuminate Da Lao Hei, who was moving faster and faster, and in a while, he climbed down a distance of four or five meters.
But at this time, the fat man shouted in the hole: "Don't climb, the chains are not long enough!" ”
It turned out that the chains provided by Lao Lai had come to an end, and at this moment, the chains on the fat man's waist were tight, so he quickly stopped Da Lao Hei.
At this moment, the old man was wearing a headlamp on his head, but he was still looking down, and Xia Qing also hurriedly reminded him not to continue to climb down.
However, Da Lao Hei raised his head at this time and said: "It seems that there is really a cave below, and it is not small, I have to go down and have a look!" ”
Xia Qing said: "But the chain is not long enough, you better come up first!" ”
Da Lao Hei looked at Xia Qing and didn't speak, then grabbed the vines on the rock wall with one hand, and freed up the other hand to untie the chains tied around his waist.
Seeing this, Xia Qing hurriedly said: "This can't be done, it's too dangerous, if there is an accident, what should I do?" ”
But the big black had already untied the chains, and then slowly and skillfully crawled down.
Xia Qing watched Da Lao Hei crawl on the rock wall, and even sweated in his palms, but gradually, Da Lao Hei's figure had disappeared in the light of the torches, and at this moment he could only see a trace of the light of the headlamp, flickering under the cave.
After a while, even the light of the headlamp was gone, Xia Qing wanted to shout and ask how it was and what the situation was, but she didn't dare to make a sound, she was afraid that she would alarm Da Lao Hei and distract him from something accidental.
At this moment, everyone in the cave also knew what was going on outside, Jiang Ji was behind Lao Lai, and he actually began to take out a string of small Buddha beads, twisted them with his left hand, and began to chant the scriptures in his mouth.
The fat man was behind him, looking at Jiang Ji like this, and he hurriedly whispered, counting all kinds of Buddhas and gods in the heavens and on the ground, hoping that Da Lao Hei could find a way out safely.
Just when everyone was terrified, the voice of the big black finally came from the bottom of the cave.
"There's a passage down there, and it looks like it's ...... It's Tunnel 1! ”
