Chapter 43: Into the Serpent (2)

The red letter shook up and down, as if it was testing something, I didn't dare to move, I don't know if the cockscomb snake saw me, the second uncle's flashlight swept over this side, and I could see it more clearly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A bead of sweat the size of a bean fell down and fell on my forehead, and I rolled my eyes up slightly, it turned out to be the sweat of the second uncle, who was more nervous than me.

I saw the cockscomb snake stretch its neck forward, and at this moment, I suddenly heard a slight click, and before I could react, suddenly a gunshot rang out, and the cockscomb snake responded to the sound, and a stream of blood splashed on my nose, with a fishy smell. Fortunately, as if the blood was not poisonous, I wiped it dry and exhaled heavily.

Seeing the cockscomb snake suddenly disappear from front of his eyes, the tall and thin man touched the sweat on his forehead, looked up at me, I looked down at him, and a strange smile appeared on his face, which made my heart furious.

I don't know if it's because I'm thinking too much about it, or whatever, this tall and thin person always gives people a very weird feeling, but I can't tell what is strange. What the hell is he trying to do? Perhaps, was he born with this smile?

Maybe he didn't just have an intention for me, but for all the people here, I asked Zhang Lao: "What do you like about your apprentice to accept him as an apprentice?" ”

The tall and thin man glanced at me, looked at Zhang Lao again, and said, "I am a good apprentice of Master, Master watched me grow up, in Master's heart, I must be a good apprentice, right?" ”

Zhang Lao touched his beard and said, "I have accepted several apprentices, and the thin and tall one is the most respectful of the teacher." ”

Zhang Lao didn't seem to understand what I wanted to say, so I continued: "Zhang Lao, I don't know if you have watched "Water Margin"? ”

Zhang Laoyileng: "Water Margin? Of course I've seen it, why do you ask this? ”

I said: ""Water Margin" has one hundred singles and eight generals, and there is a smiling tiger in it, you know? ”

Zhang Lao said: "Of course I know, the smiling tiger, one set in front of people, one set in people, is amazing!" ”

He replied, as if he still didn't understand what I was trying to say, and I asked, "What is your apprentice's expression when he is happy?" What is the expression of the face when you are upset? ”

At this time, I heard the second uncle say: "I said Young Master Chen, what are you talking about, it's all at this juncture, and you are still in the mood to talk about this?" Hurry up and climb down the rope! ”

Tong Xiangyu was so tired that a pair of jade hands were red from the rope, and she yelled that she wanted to go down quickly. I couldn't resist it, so I continued to climb down the rope. Looking up at the second uncle, the second uncle gave me a look, he seemed to know what I wanted to say, and said to me, "Be careful, there is danger below." ”

His words were a pun, implying that I should be careful of the people below, and I suddenly had a bottom in my heart.

We climbed down the bricks to a depth of a few tens of meters, I had never seen a cave so deep, and according to common sense, the water should have been pumped out a long time ago, and the wellhead was not necessarily so deep. When we reached the end of the rope, Zhang Lao took out another rope and connected it, which stretched into the darkness. Tong Xiangyu, who seemed a little patient, couldn't help but speak: "It's not a way to go on like this, are we still having enough flashlights?" ”

The second uncle said: "We only have these two flashlights left now, and we still have two dry batteries on our bodies, which are all the energy sources." ”

Tong Xiangyu said: "Maybe this hole is not deep, throw a flashlight down and take a look." ”

The second uncle hesitated for a while, let go of his hand, the flashlight fell down, and after a few circles in the air irregularly, he fell straight down. The light of the flashlight kept sinking and getting fainter and fainter, and when we thought it would disappear, it stopped there, and then we heard an echo.

I glanced down and said to Tong Xiangyu: "It seems that this is not a bottomless pit, but even if it is not a bottomless pit, this hole is deep enough, at least more than fifty meters deep." ”

The second uncle asked Mr. Zhang: "Is the rope in your toolkit enough?" ”

Zhang Lao touched the toolkit: "According to this height, there should be no problem." ”

At this time, only Zhang Lao had a flashlight in his hand, we continued to crawl down, and changed a rope in the middle, but the light of the flashlight was closer to us, the light was ahead, and we saw hope.

I don't know why, the light of the flashlight that fell to the bottom was flickering, I rubbed my eyes vigorously, a little unbelievable, so I said to my second uncle: "Look at the light of the flashlight, is there anything unusual?" ”

The second uncle slapped his thigh: "It's not normal, there seems to be something moving in the flashlight." ”

We stop, you look at me, I look at you, overwhelmed. The flashlight seemed to have been thrown into a river, and the light was rippling with the water waves, and it was indistinct and a little hazy. But at this time, we can only bite the bullet. climbed down for a distance, only to hear the second uncle say: "Oops, we were wrong, it wasn't a flashlight." ”

I looked down and noticed that the outline of the light was becoming clearer and clearer, the eyes of the cockscomb snake we had just seen. The second uncle said: "It was shot by me just now, and now it doesn't have much energy, and it fell from such a high place, and it is not dead but also crippled, so we took the opportunity to finish it off." ”

Saying that, the second uncle raised the carbine, it was a shot, and this shot was fired, and it seemed that there was no reaction at all, as if it was in a quagmire, which was a little puzzling. Zhang Lao said: "Thin and tall, you go down and take a look, we will cover you above." The thin and tall man glanced at the master, his eyes were full of fear, and he said weakly: "Master, if you let me go down alone, aren't you sending me to death?" ”

Zhang Lao was a little unbearable: "Okay, apprentice, as a teacher, I won't leave you alone, I will go down and have a look with you." Zhang Lao said to the above again: "Masters, the two of us will go down first, and you will cover us with guns." The second uncle nodded, the muzzle of the gun downward, always ready. After climbing down five or six meters, the tall thin man suddenly shouted, "Master, don't go down any further." ”

Zhang Lao said: "Why can't you go down? I think it's still a few meters away from us, and at such a distance, it won't do anything to us. ”

The tall and thin man said, "Master, what do you see on the wall of this cave?" Zhang Lao only then noticed that his feet were greasy and greasy, and he shone with a flashlight, not moss, his attention just now was on the bottom, and he didn't notice the cave wall, and now when he saw the hole wall at his feet, his feet quickly shrank back.
