Chapter 31: Bloodstains
"What's going on?" The fat treasure at the entrance of the cave said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I rubbed my chin and thought, "Maybe that's where the carcass of the flying fox was taken!" ”
"Could there be something more dangerous in there?" Hotaru said.
"Possibly!" I said, "But here is the only way now!" ”
"As I stand here, I can clearly feel the wind blowing." "It's possible to connect the inside to the outside." We can only go here! ”
"Let's go!" I said, "Hotaru, you go first." ”
Xiao Hotaru is not as good as Fat Bao, and it is impossible to climb up like Fat Treasure. I crouched down and let Hotaru step on my shoulder, then lifted her up. She raised her hands, and Fat Bao lay down at the entrance of the cave and pulled her up.
Since the cave can only accommodate one person, I told Fat Bao to climb in first, and then let Hotaru in. Then I climbed the rocks and climbed up. I'm not as good as Fat Bao.,I slipped down a few times during the period.,Fortunately, it's not a big deal.,I saw Xiao Hotaru shouting to be careful on it.。 And Fat Bao went into the cave first, and he didn't see me, he just kept urging me to hurry up. In the end, I climbed half of the way, and the other half of the journey was successfully completed with the help of Hotaru.
One by one, we lay in the hole. I handed the mixing flashlight to Fat Treasure and asked him to explore the way. Then the three of us crawled forward along the entrance of the cave. Following the light of the Fat Treasure flashlight, I saw dried blood all around. The blood was fresh, and it shouldn't have been dry for long.
The ground here is rough, so it's quite difficult to climb. Everywhere the body goes, it is uneven. There are traces of excavation, but the work is rough and not like it was excavated with tools. Just now I judged that this is a vent, and Hotaru is right, the vent can't be opened that big. The vent is too big, and there is no secrecy here. Others can easily climb in through the vents. It is estimated that this was excavated by a flying fox in the later period. And the sudden appearance and disappearance of flying foxes should be through this secret passage. Maybe there's a good chance there's a flying fox inside.
During the crawl, I told Fat Treasure and Hotaru about my thoughts, asking them to be more vigilant. It's pitch black and small, which makes it quite depressing. Since what happened to Baiyun Mountain, my psychological quality has improved greatly, but what I'm worried about now is Hotaru. If you stay in this oppressive environment for a long time, it is easy for people to have a mental breakdown. So I kept urging Feibao to hurry up in the back. One is that I really want to climb faster. The second is to divert Hotaru's attention. Studies in psychology have shown that it is impossible for ordinary people to concentrate on two or more things at the same time, which is called the transfer method. The transfer method is a psychological method of stress reduction. I want Hotaru to think I'm irritable, and then she will come and comfort me, although my thoughts will affect her to a certain extent, and make her feel irritable, but then she won't have time to think about the oppressive environment here, and her spirit will stay awake.
Everything was as I expected, the fat treasure in front kept saying that I don't bother him, he was already trying his best to climb. Hotaru, on the other hand, often comforted me, saying that we would be there soon.
To my surprise, we crawled slowly, but after more than ten minutes of climbing, we heard Fat Bao come to an end. Fei Bao poked his head out with a flashlight and looked at it for a while, and said, "Although the outside is narrower than the place we just climbed in, it is relatively long, and you can't see the head." ”
"Can't you see the end!" I said, "Let's see if there are any flying foxes or anything nearby?" Make sure you don't go out if you don't. ”
Fei Bao poked his head out and looked at it for a while, and then said, "It shouldn't be dangerous, I'll go down and take a look first." ”
After Fat Bao went down, followed by Hotaru. With the help of me and Fat Treasure, Hotaru slid down. The entrance to the cave was four or five meters above the ground, but it was relatively easy to descend, and I slowly climbed down the uneven wall.
At this point, I saw it clearly. It's much narrower than the outside, and it's not like a cave, it's clearly artificial. There are no stalactites left, the walls are smooth, and the floor is paved with stone slabs. On both sides of the road are iron basins one by one. The basins contained some wood, and it is estimated that these iron basins were used for lighting. Because of its age, the iron basin has long been rusty, and some of them have turned into a pile of iron filings.
I used a mixed flashlight to shine into it, but I couldn't see the end.
A chilling scene appeared, the bloodstain that had just been in the passage stretched to the outside, and at this moment I saw a long bloodstain on the ground, extending into the depths of darkness.
"Shall we go or not!" Fat Bao said, "I feel terrible when I look at this bloodstain! ”
"Guess!" I say.
"Guess your boss!" Fei Bao took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked, "The situation just now was too tense, and I didn't have time to smoke." Now you need to smoke a cigarette to suppress the shock! ”
"Pumping less is good for your body!" Hotaru said.
"Don't be too troubled little girl!"
"Humph!"
"At least I'll have to figure out how to deal with the flying foxes that might come back!" I said, "According to the tactic just now, if the flying fox swarm comes again, we will die!" ”
"Hurry up!" Fei Bao said, "At most, my brother smokes two more cigarettes and waits for you." He smoked a cigarette gracefully, and he completely forgot about the danger of the moment of life and death just now, and I still obeyed him.
I suddenly had an idea and said, "There you have it!" We make torches! Flying foxes are afraid of light, and each of us has a torch, so the flying fox should not dare to come near us! ”
"According to you, wouldn't it be better for each of us to have the flash on our mobile phones?" Fei Bao said.
"No way!" I said, "A flash is a ray that can only hit one side." Torches illuminate all directions. And the flash will quickly drain the phone's battery and will not be used for a long time. ”
"How are you going to make torches?"
"Give me a lighter!"
Fat Bao handed me the lighter, and I took it and walked to the nearest iron basin. The rust of this iron basin is too serious, and the bottom of the basin has several holes, and it feels like it will break when you touch it.
Luckily, the wood here is well preserved, and although it feels loose, it can be done at least once. I took out a forty or fifty centimeter long strip of wood from the basin and lit it with a lighter.
At this time, Fat Bao came over and said, "Your brain is in water?" I don't know how long this wood has been sitting here, and it's as thick as half a hand, do you think you can light it with a lighter? ”
"I'll show you!"
"Beware of lighter explosions with too high temperature!"
I kept lighting the lighter, and the lighter was getting hotter and hotter, my hands were red, and the wood didn't necessarily react, just smoked slightly. It is difficult to light old trees due to various reasons such as moisture. But I extinguished the lighter, waited for the lighter to cool down, and then burned it again. This was repeated several times. Without warning, the wood suddenly caught fire.
Fat Bao said in surprise: "Ke Shao, can you do magic?" It was just a slight smoke, just a little bit of spark. Why is it suddenly lit now. ”
"Say your pig's head is a pig's head!" I said, "Don't you see a layer of white at the end of the wood?" ”
"What's that?"
"Wax!" I said, "In ancient times, wax or oil was used as lighting fuel!" The white layer at the bottom of the iron basin is also wax! ”
"Say it as if it's true!"
"Your boss's, can you prove it's fake? Without further ado, hurry up and find two more good sticks of wood and dip them in more wax! ”
I handed the mixing flashlight to Fat Treasure and told him to find wood. Hotaru and I tried our best to protect the torch we had just lit from going out, after all, the wax was old and mixed with a lot of impurities, so the burning effect was not good. To allow the torch to burn sufficiently, and then dip a little more wax in the iron basin, a rough torch is complete.
Fei Bao quickly found two decent sticks of wood that had not been burned much. It took us about ten minutes to get three torches! We also collected a lot of wax in a bag and pressed the wax into strips of wax. As long as the torch is about to be extinguished, it will burn even more. And it burns wax, and the wood will not be burned. This method was invented by me when I was a child and Fei Bao and Ah Ming were drilling the ruins of the air-raid shelter on the mountain in my village. It's simple, but it's functional.
Then we moved on. I didn't feel this way before, but now I look at the blood streak on the ground, and my heart beats nervously with every step I take. A heart-pounding sensation welled up from my heart.
In order to relieve the panic and nervousness, I plan to blow water with Fat Bao. I was about to speak, but stopped. All three of us stopped. Because we noticed a man standing not far ahead.
