Volume 5, Chapter 54: The Bronze Wheel
Several people formed a moving circle of fire and quickly ran towards the black shadow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's close! I realized that this swarthy thing turned out to be a very big gear! In the middle of the gear is connected a shaft made of bronze.
This bronze shaft goes straight into a shaft in the ground!
The wellhead is not very large, but it is enough for one person to go down.
Mo Xiaoqi threw down the fire in his hand. The bronze shaft illuminated all the way, and finally disappeared into the darkness. I don't know how deep it is.
But the sudden extinguishing of the fire at least shows that there is a bottom below.
He tried to turn the gears again, and immediately made a gurgling sound. The bronze shaft is also quite strong.
Seeing this, Li Yiqi said, "I'll go down first!" ”
Mo Xiaoqi glanced at him and said, "Give me the gun!" You cripple, if you encounter any danger down there, are you sure you can handle it? ”
"You ......" Li Yiqi's face turned green when he heard this.
snorted, but still handed the pistol to Mo Xiaoqi.
Mo Xiaoqi held the pistol in his mouth, grabbed the bronze shaft with both hands, and slid it down directly!
The electric light above his head is getting weaker and weaker.
"It's time to come down!" Finally, his empty voice was heard inside.
Li Yiqi waved the clothes in his hand, forced those tentacles back, and said, "Uncle, you go down first!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense! Go down! You cripple! Lao An didn't appreciate it, waved the clothes in his hand, and didn't look back.
Li Yiqi's face turned green again. I could only grit my teeth and jump.
After that, Qian Xinyu.
Mo Yiyuan danced the Miao knife in his hand into a wall of light and shouted: "Less, you go down first!" My old man is here to break off! ”
"No! You're almost exhausted. I'll break it off. ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" He roared, "Are you sure you've fully recovered from the snake bite?" ”
"But...... After all, it's better than you. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, there's no time!" He yelled.
I could only bite and throw the clothes in my hand behind him to prevent him from being attacked on his belly and back.
Only then did he leap forward, grab the bronze shaft, and slide down.
Lao An followed and slid down.
Mo Yiyuan picked up all the clothes at this moment.
The flames burned all of his hair and eyebrows away at once.
He jumped into the well. Hold the bronze shaft between your legs and tie the garment to the bronze shaft at a speed that is too fast to be possible.
The flames immediately sealed the hole, and the gasoline in the clothes also flowed down the bronze shaft, instantly igniting Mo Yiyuan's pants.
He didn't have time to slap, and as soon as his hand was released, his whole body slid straight down.
Burning gasoline chased after him.
But gradually, he was thrown away.
When he fell to the ground, the tongue of fire had already reached his waist.
It's really deadly!
There was a surge of admiration for him in my heart.
"Dad! There's an underground river here! Mo Xiaoqi's voice sounded not far away.
"Stinky boy, don't say it sooner! I want to burn your dad! Mo Yiyuan heard the sound, swept over like the wind, and fell into the water with a "poof".
Then he scolded: "Stinky boy, why is this water so shallow?" Your dad's feet are about to be snapped! ”
Mo Xiaoqi shook her head and said innocently: "How do I know? I just saw the water here...... Other...... I don't know about the rest......"
Mo Yiyuan limped ashore. It's obvious that he's also lame.
It's just that the fire has been extinguished.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and put away the kettle with drinking water in my hand. The tongue of fire above his head also spread on the bronze shaft.
Mo Yiyuan sat on the ground and said to Mo Xiaoqi, "Bring the wound medicine." ”
Mo Xiaoqi didn't dare to speak more, and hurriedly took out the medicine box from her backpack.
At the moment when he handed it to Mo Yiyuan, Mo Yiyuan grabbed his hand full of blisters and scolded: "Stinky boy, are you also burned?" ”
Mo Xiaoqi smiled innocently: "Dad, it's not as serious as you." It's just a minor injury. You get yours right. ”
"Hey, hey! That's how you're welcome! He tore open his burned, hole-ridden pants. The inner thigh was basically burned.
He sprinkled the powder and bandaged him like he was nobody.
Several of us, except for Qian Xinyu, were more or less burned.
Dealing with gasoline. It would be really strange if it could still be completely skinned.
I only had a few burns on my forearm, and it wasn't a big deal. Just apply the medicine. The palm of the hand was also scratched a lot by the bronze shaft. I was afraid of getting infected, so I also treated it with disinfectant.
When you first get hurt, you don't feel very painful, and you won't know until a while later.
I saw that the fire above my head was fading. I think I'm going to have to find a way out again.
My skin can feel the air moving here.
It's tactile.
During the time I lost my sight, I would also use this method to determine what was moving around me.
I looked up at the bronze shaft, and there was a very large gear where it connected to the ground.
And next to this gear, there is even a vertical gear!
This is a structure that turns horizontally into vertical!
I looked along the vertical gears. There's a dam there! It's not very high, just about ten meters.
Underneath the dam is a very large wooden waterwheel. It's already falling apart, leaving only a few pieces there.
While this watermill is still working, the runoff of the river should be large. It's just now...... It's close to drying up.
Qian Xinyu also looked up at this huge power device and asked, "This is the power source of those mechanisms?" ”
"It should be!" I nodded.
I thought to myself that if it weren't for the corrosion of time, we would never have been able to get here.
A powered mechanism is much more difficult to deal with than an unpowered one.
I looked at the water wheel that had fallen apart. If it had been made of bronze, we would have to be covered in wounds by now.
Even if some of the more delicate ones are no longer usable, the more clumsy ones should still work.
Now that the water wheel is broken, there is no power, and some of it is for nothing.
I tried to sense the direction of the wind again, and said, "This dark river is connected to the atmosphere outside. And the outlet is downstream of the river. He turned his head to look at Mo Yiyuan and said, "You guys should rest here for a while!" I'll go and step on the road first. ”
Qian Xinyu immediately jumped over and said, "I'll go with you." ”
I looked at her and was silent for a moment. Although nothing unpleasant happened to me and her at this moment. But that doesn't mean she thinks otherwise.
Maybe it's better for her to go out for a walk...... I'll have more opportunities to confirm the purpose of her trip.
Put the Miao knife on his back again, wash his face with water, the slimy liquid on his hands, get up and say, "Let's go!" ”
My sense of touch is also unusually sensitive now.
Say an exaggerated word. If the temperature of the atmosphere is right, within two meters, I can detect the living people around me.
