Chapter 41: The Narrow Shekou
The red girl looked around, her expression suddenly became extremely frightened, as if she had seen something terrible, she hid her face with her hands, and retreated again and again, almost falling to the ground, and I held her, but found that her body was nothing, and my arm passed through her body as if nothing had touched it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I said, "Red girl, why are you so scared?" What do you see? ”
The red girl covered her eyes with her hands: "I don't dare to look at it, this place is so unusual, I don't know how to describe it." All I feel is heat all over my body, my cheeks hurt, my eyes almost burn, and I have to go back to the wooden box. Young master, you have to be careful. ”
When I was about to ask something, the red girl gradually turned into a wisp of red smoke and attached to the puppet, I put away the wooden box and asked a little puzzled: "Zhang Lao, what's going on?" Didn't you say that people in the underworld can see the gates of hell? ”
Zhang Lao thought for a moment and nodded again: "After all, I haven't dealt with ghosts before, and it's the first time I've seen ghosts, I think the red girl saw something dangerous, so she had this reaction!" I can't force her. ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "In that case, let's go back, we can't go through this road." ”
Zhang Lao habitually touched his beard and said, "No, no, as long as we don't take this road." ”
The tall, thin man looked around and asked, "Master, there are only these steps here, with black columns and walls on both sides, and we have no way to go." ”
Zhang Lao knocked on his head, didn't speak, walked straight to the side of the column, stroked the surface of the column, and said, "This pillar is artificial, I don't know if it's hollow inside?" ”
As soon as I heard Zhang Lao say this, the second uncle immediately came to the spirit, and I also felt excited, if this pillar is really hollow, we can go down, however, we saw that the cylinder was composed of stone bricks before, I cao picked up the short knife, and said to Zhang Lao: "You get out of the way, I'll try." ”
I poked at the black pillar with a short knife, and after the skin fell off, some stone bricks were exposed, and after a few more minutes, a large hole finally appeared, the thickness of our body, and the big hole was black, and many pieces of stone bricks fell into the hole, and there were echoes from inside.
When Zhang Lao saw it, he was overjoyed, and hurried over to look, he stretched his head into the black hole, looked down, and then stretched out his head to us and said, "We can go down this hole." "Sometimes, you have to pay the price to find the right path, and failure is the mother of success.
I picked up the flashlight and shone it down, the black hole was hollow, bottomless, I don't know if the scope of the flashlight is limited, or the hole is too deep, it can only shine more than ten meters away. The tall and thin man was very anxious, and hurriedly said to Zhang Lao: "Master, why don't I take the lead and take a look, I really want to know what is in here?" ”
The thin and tall man just wanted to step in, but Zhang Lao said: "Be careful, we don't know what's in it yet, if you have any mistakes, what will happen to the teacher?" ”
The thin and tall man stopped his movements and said to Zhang Lao: "Master is right, everything is arranged by Master." ”
Zhang Lao looked at the prepared person, he took out a rope from the tool kit, imported from Germany, and took out a steel pipe, the steel pipe is only more than half a meter long, tie one end of the rope in the middle of the steel pipe, pull the rope, the steel pipe will be horizontal in the middle of the hole, don't look at Zhang Lao's age, physical strength is quite good, he wants to take the lead, said: "I'll go in first, you follow, just follow me." ”
The thin and tall man is still not at ease: "Master, in such a dangerous situation, I can't let you go down first, so I'll take the lead!" ”
Zhang Lao thought for a while: "It's okay, you go down first, remember to always pay attention to your step." ”
The thin and tall man went down the rope, and Zhang Lao also climbed on the rope, followed by me, Tong Xiangyu and the second uncle.
The hardness and toughness of the rope are very strong, we can use the wall of the cave as a support point, we can put our hands and feet on it, there are many unevenness in the wall of the cave, we can climb down through these unevenness, although it is not very tiring, but it is not easy.
In the process of slowly crawling down, the tall and thin man heard the sound of the steel pipe rubbing against the wall at the entrance of the cave, and asked a little worriedly, "Master, the steel pipe and rope won't break, right?" ”
Zhang Lao said: "This is a commonly used tool, this kind of rope can bear the weight of ten people, and we only have five people now, which is more than enough." "The stone bricks on the walls of the cave are also very strong, and we shouldn't have a problem withstanding them.
Zhang Lao and the second uncle each held a flashlight in their hands, and looked at the light of the flashlight, some places on the wall were covered with moss, and it was extremely slippery, and this place did not see sunlight all year round, and there was a musty smell.
Zhang Lao reminded everyone while crawling down: "Be careful, don't fall." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the rope suddenly tremble, and then came the voice of a tall and thin man: "Master, save me!" ”
Zhang Lao hurriedly used a flashlight to shine, it turned out that the thin and tall man was careless, his feet slipped, and he was almost about to fall, but fortunately, Zhang Lao hooked him with his feet in time. The tall and thin man gritted his teeth, his face was flushed, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, as if he would be deflated if he spoke loudly.
I saw it well and said to the tall and thin man, "You calm down and put your foot on the wall." ”
The tall and thin man gave it a try, looked at me, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "This wall is too slippery to stand." ”
I said, "Then you quickly pull the rope and hook it with your foot." The tall and thin man looped the rope around his feet and added a little friction, which calmed him down a lot.
But it's not a way to go on like this, stay in the air all the time, sooner or later you will run out of strength, you have to hurry down. The thin and tall man was already out of breath at this time, and he said to Zhang Lao, "Master, let's go up!" This place is like an abyss, maybe it's also a bottomless pit, let's see if there is any other way to go down? ”
Zhang Lao said: "I reminded you before I came, if you want to come, you will come, or you will not come, how can you give up halfway now?" Zhang Lao used the flashlight to shine down again, but he really couldn't see anything, and Zhang Lao said, "Since we have done the tomb robbery business, we will die in the tomb." ”
Zhang Lao said righteously, I looked at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but gasp. The place we were just in was above, and there were drier places, but the place where the tall and thin man was a little lower, the further down it was, the wetter it became, and the unevenness on the cave wall became less and less, and it was difficult to have a place to put your feet.
