Chapter 44: Over the Canoe
The gossip diagram of more than 100 grids is cumbersome after all, even if Cao Da has the help of patterns, it is inevitable that he will make mistakes a few times, and his eyes will hurt from exhaustion.
The old cat comforted: "Take your time, we are not in a hurry." They're still busy over there, and they're definitely not as fast as we are. ”
"What's the job?" I wondered.
I saw the old cat show a strange smile, and he said, "You wait, you can hear it in two minutes at most, according to the custom, this kind of thing happens every time." ”
I leaned against the wall in confusion and looked at the talismans, not knowing what the old cat was talking about.
After looking at it for a while, Luo Qiaoqiao's voice suddenly came from there.
"Grandpa, do you hear me clearly now? Well, I was just inside the burial chamber, so you can't hear me. Grandpa, let me tell you, I got a lot of things...... Well, don't worry, I'm safe. They are all too weak, so I will lead everyone to the front, that is, gossip and gossip, and the first one I go is the injured door. Haha, of course I got it from the wounded door, there is no danger at all in Jimen, how can there be good things. Don't worry, grandpa, don't talk about it, they're waiting for me to go back and lead the team, remember you promised me a reward. ”
I smiled helplessly and said, "It's really a great achievement, do something to stop all the credit on your head." Look at what she said, it's as if we are greedy for life and afraid of death and want to go to Jimen, and she is brave and fearless to go to the door of murder. ”
"Get used to it......" The old cat stretched his waist and said nonchalantly, "How many times has it been like this, Old Man Luo really thinks that this little lady has the ability, and often praises his granddaughter outside for being able to lead the Yuanmen." We are usually afraid of retaliation, so we don't break it. ”
I shrugged, feeling like Luo Qiaoqiao was causing trouble for herself.
When a person's reputation exceeds his own strength, he will encounter many unsolvable things, and when that day comes, it will be the time when Luo Qiaoqiao regrets it. For example, if a person has a fortune of only 1 million, and he brags about being a billionaire every day, and one day he believes that his friend borrows 1 million from him, what should he do? A truth.
After waiting for the puzzle for about half an hour, the gossip map was finally put together. After the spelling was completed, the Jingmen opened inexplicably, and we were so shocked that we hurriedly dodged.
Cao Da cautiously said to us: "It's not so simple to open the Jingmen just for the puzzle, and after you go in, you must be careful." ”
We all nodded and said yes, and when the stone door was fully opened, the old cat took the lead to observe it, and then we heard him cry in surprise, and quickly asked what was going on, and he asked us to come and have a look.
We walked into the door, confused, and when I saw what was inside, my eyes widened in surprise.
There was also a table in the small burial chamber, but it was separated from us by a large rectangular pit, dark and deep, with a fixed long stick between the two, which was about the thickness of two fingers.
"Is this going to take a single-plank bridge? Have you ever seen such a thin single-plank bridge? The old cat said in surprise.
I walked to the big pit and used my flashlight to shine down, the pit was about five meters deep, the walls were very flat, if I fell down, I was afraid I wouldn't want to climb up again.
This made the four of us silent, and we didn't say what would happen if we fell, and we didn't say whether we dared to go up, mainly because this long stick was too thin, or made of wood, who knows if it will break if people step on it?
"I don't think this is for us to walk over......," Cao Da analyzed, "The stick is so thin that you can grab it with your hands, it should be for later people to grab it with their hands like grabbing a horizontal bar." ”
"But what if it's broken?" The old cat asked.
This is the biggest problem right now, no one knows if the long stick is strong or not. But the treasure is in front of us, there is an old saying that people die for money, birds die for food, if we want to give up the treasure like this, it is impossible.
The old cat pondered for a while, and then he said, "I suggest letting the light ones pass." ”
Qiu Rong immediately interrupted: "I don't have much strength, I can't hold it, this pit is about ten meters long, and I can climb five meters is the limit." ”
The girl's strength is really small, and we didn't doubt Qiu Rong. The old cat looked at me, and he said, "Of the three men, you are relatively thin, so you might as well crawl over." When the time comes, you will be asked to pick the treasure first, and if there are many, you will be given one more. ”
I was a little flustered, but he pressed his hand on my shoulder and said solemnly: "I can see that although you are not strong, your muscles are well-proportioned and tight, and your strength is definitely strong. Before Cao Da opened the envelope in Dumen, you probably held your breath because you were worried about him. That's when I noticed that you have deltoid muscles, and if you don't have a lot of strength, it's not honest enough. ”
I was stunned by what he said.
It is true that I have deltoid muscles as well as strong latissimus dorsi. When I was 16 years old, the harvest was not good, there was no money to buy new cattle to replace the old ones, and I felt sorry for my father's poor health, so I went to the field every day to help the family plough the land. At that time, my mother was afraid that I would be tired, so she let me eat a lot of dried sweet potatoes every day, and my muscles were trained in those two months. After that, because he was often busy with physical work, his figure did not weaken.
I smiled bitterly, and I didn't expect to be driven to the shelves by this thing today, so I admitted: "I have a lot of strength, but I'm worried that the stick will break." ”
"It won't break ......" At this time, Cao Da suddenly spoke, "If you take off your clothes and carry an empty backpack over, it will definitely not break." If the treasures over there are also books, at most a few catties, Jiang Cheng, how much do you weigh? ”
Seeing that it was Cao Dafa who asked, I said honestly: "One meter seventy-five, one hundred and twenty pounds." ”
"I'm 1.8 meters and weigh 150 pounds." The old cat said.
Cao Da frowned, and he said softly: "I am one meter eighty-five and weigh one hundred and forty pounds." Jiang Cheng, it seems that it is most appropriate for you to go, we can't just take things, we have to make some efforts. The two of us are rookies, and if we don't contribute much, it's not comfortable to hold things. ”
I nodded and said, "Senior brother, I listen to you." ”
Cao Da looked into my eyes, his eyes were full of seriousness: "If you have an accident, I will definitely rescue you, believe me." ”
I don't know why, but I feel that Cao Da is not comforting me, but a real commitment. At this time, I felt much more comfortable, so I walked over to the stick, took off all my clothes except my trousers, put my empty backpack on my back, and crouched down to grab the stick.
"Be careful."
Cao Da asked worriedly, and I hummed and jumped down gently.
The stick shook twice, and I clung to it, my body kept sinking, but it wasn't hard for me, only the injured fingers didn't use much strength, but it was okay. Cao Da instructed at this time: "Jiang Cheng, put your feet on it and crawl over with your limbs." In this way, the speed is faster, the force area is large, and the pressure will be smaller. ”
"Okay."
I exerted my strength at the waist and hung my feet on the stick, and the old cat said, "See? I don't even shake my legs when I hang them up, this waist is really good, and the pants...... Qiu Rong, if you have Jiang Cheng as a lover, you are guaranteed to be fascinated every night. ”
"Don't make Jiang Cheng laugh......" Cao Da interrupted the old cat's words and said seriously, "Don't joke at this time, it will be bad if he has no strength to laugh." ”
The old cat awkwardly touched his head and apologized to me, but I didn't think it was funny at all, and tried to crawl to the other side.
Ten meters is not too far, but the wooden stick shook and panicked, and my legs went limp. I know this is a normal reaction, but the softer my legs, the more panicked I become, after all, if I get stuck in my head if I fall, I may die.
I simply closed my eyes and crawled forward quickly, staggering, but better than seeing the dark abyss below.
"Stop!"
Just when I felt better, Cao Da suddenly drank, I stopped and opened my eyes in confusion, found that there was nothing abnormal, looked at Cao Da suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
After looking at it like this, I found that the faces of several of them were ugly, Cao Da lowered his voice and quickly said to me: "Slowly retreat, don't tilt your head back, don't look over there." ”
Originally, my calmer heart was even more flustered by Cao Da's words.
Can't tilt your head back?
Something has changed in front of this stick?
I was so panicked that I was about to climb towards Cao Da and them, when the wooden stick shook violently, and I only felt that my body suddenly became weightless, and I fell down heavily, and my eyes suddenly turned to the other end of the wooden stick.
That's when I finally saw it.
On the other side of the shore, a dark shadow appeared at some point, still holding a long knife in his hand. Before I could take a closer look, I felt a sharp pain in my back, and my vision gradually darkened......
