Chapter Eighty-Three: The Bridge Keeper

The dark passage in front of you suddenly lost the reflection of light! It's so deep that you can't see it to the end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

From my experience inside the wormhole, I know that the reason for this is that there is a larger space ahead!

It seems that this secret path is coming to an end.

Using his hands and feet together, he crawled out in a few clicks, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and the flashlight swept over, only to see a few gray walls.

It's not a dungeon!

I adjusted the focus of the light to see farther.

The aperture was gradually shrinking, and it was only then that we could see the surrounding terrain clearly.

I was still deep in a very deep groove, very long, with no end in sight. On my head, there is a stone beam. Well! It's not very clear from below, but it's a bridge.

I looked down, just scolded my mother, I was in the air on the side of this deep trough, there were more than three meters high below, all rocks, I jumped down, I was afraid that I would be injured.

I looked around again, and there was no place to tie the rope. It seems that a Luoyang shovel has to be thrown here.

I put down my backpack and was about to tie the Luoyang shovel in the soil to tie the rope, but suddenly I saw a depression in the place of one meter five or six below me, and there seemed to be a hole.

I was stunned for a moment, and I stretched out my head to take a closer look, and sure enough, there was a hole!

Since there is a place to step on, I don't bother to get off the shovel. If the sound of a shovel draws something strange, I'm going to walk around without eating.

Tightening my backpack, I turned around and stepped on it carefully, and when I stepped on it steadily, I went down completely.

There really is a hole here, almost eighty centimeters high.

I looked inside, and a dry, dark, distorted face immediately filled my eyes.

At such a close distance, I was so scared that I almost jumped!

There's a dead man withered inside!

And it's a little kid! It's impossible to tell whether it's a man or a woman.

At this time, I noticed that the place I was in was made of five-sided stones. Appears to be part of the piers. I immediately understood why this kid was here.

In some places in ancient times, when they built bridges, they usually put a pair of boys and girls in the piers to guard the bridge. It is said that this was done to prevent dragons in the water from arching the bridge down. After putting the boy and the girl away, the dragon did not dare to pass under the bridge.

And these poor children were put in after the piers were built, and after throwing them only some godmothers and water, they sealed them up.

Not to mention being starved to death and dying of thirst, even that kind of darkness and loneliness is enough to kill them.

It is hard to say whether there is a dragon in the world, but now those thousands of meters long cross-river bridges and sea-crossing bridges are not necessarily collapsed by dragons without boys and girls guarding the bridges.

Glancing back at the pier on the other side, there was also an innocent child there.

I sighed and jumped down the deep groove.

Here I saw very clear traces of the flow of water. It looks like it's a dug river.

Although it has dried up with the change of climate, it may have been seven or eight hundred years ago that there was water here. Although the northwest has been dry since ancient times, it is so deep that it may have dug up the aquifer at that time.

The location of the cave where the child was hidden, it seems that there was also a five-sided stone before, but this stone is relatively soft, and it is easier to break into mud and sand after being blistered.

I walked a few meters behind, took out the rope, tied the flying claw, circled my arm a few times, and with a flick of the flying claw, it flew to the parapet of the bridge with the rope.

If you want to go to the underground palace, no one knows if you can get there along this river, but if you get on the bridge above, you can find it quickly, and then meet the monkeys.

It's much better with this claw than when I used to throw a rope with a rock. This flick hooked the stone railing above. Loaded the pulleys and climbed up

One rolled over and jumped over the stone bridge.

"Don't move! Hands up! A cold voice suddenly came out of the back of his head. Before I could react, another cold guy landed on my head.

It seems to be a gun!

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads! can only scold the eighteen generations of the ancestors of this bastard behind him in his heart.

I could only raise my hand, but how could there be anyone else here? And how come I don't see signs of someone below? For example, a flashlight or something.

"Let's go!" The man behind me stabbed me with a gun and motioned for me to go to the left side of the bridge.

I turned around, and for a moment, my mouth opened wide in shock.

On this side of the bridge, there are still dozens of people!

The number of people is not important, the point is that among these dozens of people, there are many familiar faces!

Ah Xue, Uncle An, Li Yiqi, Xiao Ruo, Monkey ...... There are also other people in Ah Xue's team.

"Tongzi!" The monkey looked at me with a look of astonishment.

"Brother Yu Tong!" Xiao Ruo's face was full of smiles.

Ah Xue snorted coldly, turned her head away, and didn't look at me.

Li Yiqi's face was full of schadenfreude.

They've all been held hostage!

Judging from the costumes, Ah Xue and they only have more than a dozen people. And the rest...... It's all another bunch! It seems that the dozen or so people in the dark groove are all from this group.

And four-fifths of these people are foreigners! Mostly white. A few people were muttering a few words there, and I couldn't make out what language they were speaking.

A man with a yellow beard asked me in stiff Chinese, "Are you in league with them?" As he spoke, he pointed to Ah Xue and them.

I really want to snort and spit on him now. But isn't there a saying called a knife hidden in a smile and a honey-bellied sword?

Doing this now will only anger the other party, it is better to pat the sycophants and let him let his guard down and take the opportunity to kill him!

I deliberately relaxed my body, hummed, and smirked, "How do you know?" Oh! I know! Are you a fairy on the snowy mountain? ”

The yellow-bearded man was stunned, and then he muttered to a person next to him, and then he laughed, and several other people also looked at me and laughed, and one said in Chinese: "It turned out to be a fool!" ”

I scolded in my heart: "Your grandmother, your ancestors are fools for eighteen generations!" Wait for Lao Tzu to kill you! I see you're still smiling! ”

Xiao Ruo was stunned for a moment, his mouth moved, and he was about to speak: "Yu ......"

The monkey's eyes rolled and pinched Xiao Ruo's thigh.

Xiao Ruo screamed in pain and asked in an echo, "What are you doing?" Neurotic, you! ”

The monkey slapped the ground and shouted, "There are bugs!" There are bugs! "Secretly gave her a color.

Xiao Ruo is so smart, he immediately understands.

I smirked, waved at them, and said, "Hello! See so many people here! It's so lively! ”

I walked to the other end of the bridge and immediately felt a chill.

There were four or five corpses lying on the ground, covered in blood, and the most bizarre thing was that these people were full of bloody holes the thickness of thumbs!
