Chapter Twenty-Five: Out of the Ground

The white bones that appeared in the cave made us tremble, could this underground river really be the Nai River? Everyone was terrified, and the fat man sat down on the ground and beat his chest and cried, "Now it's good, are we really going to hell?" ”

"Fatty, less nonsense. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" I yelled at the fat man, everyone was panicked in their hearts, and the fat man's words were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire at this time.

The fat man sat on the ground with his head down, covered his face with his hands and stopped talking, and the old Wu Tou sighed: "Hey, we have gone through so many hardships and dangers to get here, can we really not get out?" Retribution, retribution, I have dug so many graves over the years, and now retribution is coming. ”

A Ning stared blankly at the seemingly calm underground river, with no expression on his face, while Yang Zhi stood aside and looked at everyone coldly, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

At this time, I suddenly felt a trace of guilt, as if all this was caused by me, if it weren't for my bent desire to find the Xuanming Shrine, if it weren't for the fact that I had to solve the mystery left by my grandfather, everyone would not have fallen to this point. If you don't come here, Lao Wu Tou and Qiangzi should be able to dig an ancient tomb occasionally and live a peaceful life, if you don't come here, Yang Zhianing and the fat man, of course, and me, at least we can continue to open our antique shop happily, I feel very uncomfortable at this time.

I walked to the pile of bones, squatted down, and Qiangzi looked at me and walked to the river and shouted, "Xiao Jiang, what are you doing, aren't you afraid?" ”

I looked back at Qiangzi, Qiangzi's face was terrifying, and I thought to myself that what was so terrible about this, wasn't it just a pile of white bones: "If you really have come to a desperate situation, what else is there to be afraid of, as the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes." ”

After saying that, I squatted next to the white bones with a flashlight, only to see that among the bones of the white flowers, there were human skulls, and there were also some bones such as legs and arms, it was determined that this was a human bone, I took out the shovel in the backpack and gently tossed the bones, suddenly, I saw a skull that seemed to be tied to something, I reached out and took the skull, took off the things on the skull, and brushed off the sediment on it with my hand, a plastic headlamp appeared in front of me, and there was a nameplate made of stainless steel on the headlamp, It reads: Produced on August 21, 2005, qualified.

"How do you have a headlamp here?" I said with my headlamp in confusion.

"Xiao Jiang, what headlamp?" Behind me came the voice of the old Wu Tou.

I walked up to Lao Wu Tou with the headlamp and handed it to Lao Wu: "I found it in that pile of bones just now." ”

Old Wu took the headlamp, and then his eyes opened like a light bulb, and his voice trembled and said: "This, this, this is the headlamp used by the miners!" ”

Looking at Lao Wutou's excited appearance, I was a little puzzled and asked, "It's just a headlamp, what's there to be excited about." ”

"You don't know." Old Wu said with a straight face, and after finishing speaking, he ran to Bai Gu and knelt on the ground.

"Brothers, I am your fellow countryman Lao Wu Tou, I didn't expect to meet you here, I know that you died here because of the mining disaster, you can't enter the soil after you die, you are tortured by the cold groundwater in this cave, today we are trapped here, only to find your bones, I hope you show us a way, let us go out, you can rest assured, I will take you out, bury you well, Lao Wu Tou is here to thank you." After Lao Wu Tou finished speaking, he kowtowed to the white bones.

The fat man raised his head when he heard Lao Wu Tou speak, and seemed to be a little unhappy: "This old Wu Tou is obsessed?" How can you talk nonsense, how did those white bones become the brother of Lao Wutou? ”

After the old Wu head kowtowed, he took off the backpack from his back, took out all the things in the backpack, and then carefully put the bones into the backpack one by one, when the old Wu put the last bone into the backpack, only to hear the wooden boat not far from the stone monument made a snorting sound, and then the boat slowly moved towards the river, as if someone was pushing the boat.

"Oh boy, what the hell are we doing!" The fat man said as he glared at the moving ship.

With a frightened face, A-Ning pointed to the moving boat and shouted: "How is this possible, how can the boat move on its own." ”

Before A-Ning finished speaking, he heard a thud, and the boat fell into the water and floated peacefully on the water.

Looking at the boat on the water, and then looking at the old Wu Tou who carried the backpack again, I thought to myself, could this boat have something to do with the old Wu Tou's actions just now?

Lao Wu Tou walked over with his backpack on his back, looked at the boat and said, "Get on the boat, this must be the fellow who wants to help us." ”

After Lao Wu Tou finished speaking, he jumped into the boat, Ah Ning looked at Lao Wu Tou: "We're leaving, can't you get on the boat?" ”

The fat man shook his head desperately and shouted: "I want to get on you, I don't get on, I feel that Lao Wu is crazy, this boat is too weird." ”

Everything that happened at this time made this cave instantly filled with a terrifying atmosphere, ghost? God? Or people? None of these phenomena seem to be explained.

"Let's go up, we don't have a way out now anyway." After saying that, I also jumped on the wooden boat, Yang Zhi and A Ning and Qiangzi saw me jump on, and they also jumped on the wooden boat, and finally only the fat man was left, the fat man looked at us all on the wooden boat, and immediately hesitated, I looked at the fat man who was sitting on the ground and hesitated, and shouted to him: "Fat man, if you don't come up again, I will row away." ”

When the fat man heard me say that I was leaving, he slapped his hands on his thighs hard: "Hey, go on, let's die together." ”

The fat man got up from the ground, threw his backpack on the boat, and then jumped up, but after the fat man got on the boat, strange things appeared in front of us again, only to see the boat slowly drifting into the depths of the cave without us sliding.

"It's really weird, the boat was still floating smoothly on the water before we got on the boat just now, but after we all got on the boat, the boat slowly moved." A-Ning looked at the water and muttered to himself.

On the boat, except for Lao Wu Tou sitting calmly on the bow of the boat, the five of us were very worried at this time, as the ship continued to advance, the entrance of the Xuanming Tunnel was getting farther and farther away from us, and we sat quietly and put on it, letting the boat move forward by itself.

"Master, why do you say that's your fellow countryman?" Qiangzi finally couldn't help but ask Old Wutou.

"Yes, old Wu Tou, why?" I also asked curiously.

Old Wu Tou put his hand on the backpack containing the white bones, and said while looking at the backpack: "When you were in the cultural market, you should have seen Ah San, who has gone crazy?" ”

I nodded and remembered the Ah San I had seen in the cultural market: "I've seen it, I remember you kicked him, didn't he go crazy because of the mining accident?" ”

Old Wu nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket, threw it to me and the fat man, and lit a cigarette: "One day in 2005, I was looking for a cemetery by the Chaiwen River, only to see a loud noise, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the Chaiwen River, and then the water of the Chaiwen River dried up all of a sudden, and a huge hole appeared in the dry river. I heard that the Xinzhang Coal Mine was flooded, and more than 100 miners were trapped underground, although the rescue was carried out, but it had no effect, and finally had to give up, except for Ah San, who was later found in the vent of the coal mine, everyone else was buried underground. ”

Old Wu Tou shook his head when he said this, and the fat man saw that Old Wu Tou was no longer talking and hurriedly asked, "Old Wu Tou, and then what?" ”

"After the flood, hundreds of people underground disappeared from there, and there was no trace, after you found the headlamp just now, I realized that we met the miners who were trapped underground because of the mining disaster, and I was in pain in my heart, so I..."

The fat man nodded, and then said, "No wonder the boat will go into the water by itself, walk in the water by itself, it seems that the miner blessed us." ”

Aning folded his hands and closed his eyes, and said, "Thank you, our unknown miner brother. ”

Looking at Aning's appearance, several of us closed our eyes to the backpack containing the bones, and prayed silently in our hearts, praying that he would rest in peace.

When we opened our eyes again, a light suddenly appeared not far away.

"Look, there's light." The fat man stood up and shouted loudly as he pointed to the faint light.

When we saw the bright light, we immediately became excited, and there was a bright light, which means that there is an exit ahead, and with an exit, we don't have to stay in this dark underground anymore.

The boat continued to move slowly forward, and we saw that the place where there was light was getting closer and closer to us, and finally, a hole appeared at the top of the cave above the underground river, through which we saw the blue sky that we had not seen for a long time. When the boat reached the bottom of the hole, it stopped.

"See the blue sky, see the sun, we're going out, we don't have to die, ahhhhh

Old Wu Tou looked at the entrance of the cave and shed tears, then knelt on the boat and cried and said: "Thank God, thank you, thank you" After speaking, Old Wu Tou put his head on the boat and cried bitterly.

A-Ning laughed and said, "When I go out, I want to eat braised pork, called flower chicken, and I want to eat a lot of delicious things." ”

Qiangzi took Lao Wu's hand and said, "Master, I will definitely listen to you when I go out in the future, and I will definitely honor you well in the future." ”

Old Wu Tou raised his head when he heard Qiangzi's words and said excitedly: "Really? ”

Qiangzi nodded, Lao Wu Tou hugged Qiangzi, and the two hugged each other and cried together.

"Xiao Jiang, what are you going to do when you go out?" The fat man looked at me with a grin and said.

I smiled and looked at the bright hole and said, "Go out, I'm going to take a hot bath, and then lie down on the soft bed, and sleep with him for three days and three nights." ”

"Hahaha, Brother Xiaojiang, you're a pig!" A-Ning covered her mouth and looked at me and said with a smile.

"I think we should find a way to get out, I think going out is the last word. At least we haven't gone out yet. As long as you don't go out," I said to everyone.

A-Ning smiled and said, "It's simple, we have flying claws, just tie the flying claws to the rope and throw them out of the hole, and then we climb out along the rope." ”

"Yes, yes, I think it's a good way, it's easy and simple." The fat man said with excitement on his face.

Old Wu Tou looked up at the entrance of the cave and shook his head: "I don't think it's a good way, the entrance of the cave is not very big, and it's so high, how can you throw it up." ”

"Old Wu Tou, with A-Ning here, this difficulty is not difficult for her." I pointed at A-Ning and said, because I have seen A-Ning's shooting skills in the past, and I still have a lot of confidence in A-Ning.

Old Wu Tou looked at Ah Ning and shook his head, as if he was not very optimistic about Ah Ning.

A-Ning took out the bow and crossbow from his backpack, looked at it and said, "Hey, this bow and crossbow has never been used, I didn't expect to use it here." ”

After speaking, A-Ning pulled out a crossbow arrow in the expectant eyes of everyone, tied the front of the crossbow arrow and the back end of the flying claw with a rope, and then pulled, aimed, and pulled the trigger, only to see the crossbow arrow fly out of the center of the hole with a whoosh.

"Good archery." Everyone shouted in unison.

A-Ning pulled the rope hard: "The rope is fixed, go up a light one first, and then pull everyone up." ”

After A-Ning finished speaking, several of us looked at each other, and the fat man shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, don't think about my size." ”

"I can't either, I'm old and frail, I can't do it." Old Wu Tou also sighed and said.

"It's still me!" Yang Zhi suddenly grabbed the rope, then jumped up, climbed up along the rope, and climbed out of the hole after a while.

After Yang Zhi climbed out of the hole, I said to everyone: "Throw down the guns, reduce the weight, old Wutou, you go first." Then the people threw the guns they had on their backs into the water.

Yang Zhi pulled the old Wu head up first, the third A Ning, the fourth strong son, the fifth me, and finally the fat man was left, and when I came to the ground, I found that we were in a forest at this time, and there was no figure around.

"Xiao Jiang, hurry up and pull me out." There was a fat man's cry from the cave, and I looked into the cave and said, "Fat man, tie your body around your waist and hold on to the rope with your hands." ”

"Alright, you guys hurry up!" Hearing the fat man's reply, the five of us pulled the rope desperately, and finally pulled the fat man out of the hole.

After the fat man came out of the cave, I looked again towards the mouth of the cave, and saw that the boat slowly sank to the bottom of the water, and suddenly, the hole disappeared in front of me.

"How did the hole disappear!" I shouted in surprise.

Old Wu Tou came over and looked at it and said, "Yes, why is it gone?" ”

"It's weird here!" A-Ning also scratched his hair and said.

Looking at the disappearing hole, I suddenly felt as if we were walking in a mysterious world before, thinking about everything I had experienced in the past, I couldn't help but sigh, and then said to myself, "It's good to be alive." ”

"Don't move, or watch out for your lives." Suddenly there was a shout, and I turned my head to see a group of men in armor with bows and arrows already surrounding us.

What's going on? Why are you all wearing ancient clothes? Is it making a movie? Could it be that this is a film and television city? A litany of questions crossed my mind.
