Next Chapter

The wind ruthlessly raged the Hulunbei grassland, and the endless starry sky was swallowed up in the dark clouds, and the faint light of the moon seemed to appear through the dark clouds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info somewhere in the grassland under the moonlight, a pool of lake water is surging in the wind, and a huge tent has been erected under a huge tree by the lake. In front of the tent, a shriveled and wrinkled old man sat in the wind, crumbling like duckweed in the wind. The old man played with the long dry tobacco pouch in his hand as if he didn't care, and looked at the dim sky with a frown.

After a long time, the old man sighed and took a puff of the dry cigarette in his hand, his expression was already solemn.

"Elder Ni, the storm in this grassland is fierce, you better go in。。。。。。" A sturdy middle-aged man in the tent walked out with a concerned face.

"Where?" Hearing the concern in the middle-aged man's words, Ni Lao's tightly knit brows stretched slightly.

"According to what Ma Wu said, there are about four or five meters to dig into the ear chamber to the east, and you should be able to enter it before the storm arrives!" The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and replied.

Ni Lao nodded and looked at the lake in the wind in the distance, and continued to smoke the dry tobacco in his hand.

The middle-aged man's face was full of anxious and concerned expressions, and he wanted to open his mouth to say something more, but in the end he held back.

"Si'er, how long have you been with me?" Veteran Ni slowly exhaled the cigarette in his mouth, and his eyes softened.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to fall into a brief memory. After a moment, his face was grateful, and his tone was full of awe: "Twenty-eight years, Elder Ni." If it weren't for you, I would have starved to death on the streets, and there would be Ni Si today. ”

"Twenty-eight years, five months, and eight days。。。。。。 Ni Lao picked up the dry tobacco pouch again and took a puff, adding without thinking.

"Yes, or do you have a good memory." Ni Si scratched his head slightly embarrassed.

"Do you believe in your fate?" There was a trace of imperceptible desolation in Ni Lao's eyes.

Ni Si shook his head decisively and said: "If you enter this industry, you can't help but believe in that bull, ghost, snake and god, and it is better to believe in yourself than to believe in fate." ”

"Hey。。。。。。 What should come will come, believe it or not... Ni Lao sighed, as if talking to himself.

Ni Si didn't say anything more, he just silently looked at the thin figure in the wind, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart。。。。。。

"Ah!!h Suddenly! A terrible scream accompanied by the howling wind came from the tent, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong!" Without hesitation, Ni Si turned around and rushed into the tent.

Ni Lao's wrinkled face instantly became gloomy, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he turned around and walked towards the tent without saying a word.

In the tent, there was a deathly silence, and the four of them formed a circle, their faces full of horror and surprise and kept looking towards the ground. Ni Lao walked over, and everyone got out of the way, and a round hole appeared in front of them.

"Old Ni, this... This... Old Hu Ta 。。。。。。 One of the middle-aged men with a mustache was trembling and a little timid.

"What are you doing! Pull it up! There was a hint of anger in Ni Lao's tone, obviously dissatisfied with the reaction of these people to such a situation.

"It's already pulled!" A bald man held a broken hemp rope tightly in his hand, looking dazed.

Ni Siyi snatched the hemp rope from the bald man's hand, took it in his hand and looked at it, and then said to Ni Lao: "The traces are very smooth, it shouldn't be torn."

"Not a torn 。。。。。。" Ni Lao frowned and thought about it, "Since it is not torn, there are only two possibilities, one is: after Lao Hu screamed, for some special reason, he actually cut the safety rope that was connected. But if that's the case, why didn't Lao Hu make any sound at the moment, and what kind of situation did he have to let him cut off the only lifeline that could bring him back to the ground? The second is: someone else or something cut Lao Hu's rope. Naturally, there could be no other people in this digging hole, so 。。。。。。 ”

"Zong。。。。。。 Zongzi !! Apparently thinking of this, Ni Lao was not alone, and his mustache trembled and exclaimed.

"Smack!" The bald man slapped the mustache's head hard: "What kind of zongzi, your zongzi doesn't stay in the coffin, learn to dig a hole with us?!" ”

The mustache was suddenly beaten, and he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, not knowing what he was saying.

Old Ni didn't care about them, and handed the broken rope in his hand to the small middle-aged man who had not spoken all the time and had a calm face: "Ma Wu, what do you think?" ”

Ma Wu took the broken rope and measured it carefully for a long time, but the expression on his face became more and more gloomy.

"This knife mark should be Lao Hu's dagger, why did Lao Hu cut this life-saving rope by himself?" Ma Wu looked puzzled, as if he was talking to himself.

"Are you sure?" Ni Lao was obviously a little skeptical of Ma Wu's judgment.

"Well, I recognize Lao Hu's dagger, it was found in Song Dou'er last year, Lao Hu was reluctant to sell it, so he kept carrying 。。。。。。" Then Ma Wu paused again and continued: "With Lao Hu's skills, he must have a reason to do this. At this moment, his hand holding the short rope trembled slightly.

"Then why did he cut this rope ... Is it a warning us not to go down? Ni Lao frowned and guessed.

Ma Wu had a gloomy face and muttered, "Or you don't want anything to come up。。。。。。 ”

Suddenly, a creepy breath suddenly came, and everyone felt a chill down their spines, and at this moment time seemed to stand still, and the five people were stunned motionless, and there was no sound in the tent。。。。。。

The howling wind slammed against the tent, and the creaking of the tent's pillars revealed its vulnerability to the impending storm.

There was a deathly silence in the tent, and the five of them didn't speak again, their heartbeats at the moment had long overshadowed the creaking of the tent, and even the most experienced and experienced Ni Lao couldn't help frowning and feeling a little overwhelmed.

At first, according to his calculations, before the storm came, the thief hole had reached the ear chamber, and everyone could enter it and sit back and escape the sudden storm. But now this situation, the unknown danger in the dark thief cave, people can't help but be frightened, and the storm outside the tent is getting more and more violent, in this vast grassland without cover, it is undoubtedly not human can resist. The silence made the atmosphere even more eerie, and with the whistling wind, everyone was overwhelmed.

"Click!" The support column in one corner of the tent finally couldn't withstand the strong wind and suddenly broke, and the tent in one corner suddenly lost its support and immediately slipped down, adding a heavy stroke to the already strange atmosphere.

The mustache almost broke down and trembled and exclaimed, "I'm not going!" I'm not going! Then he turned and ran out of the tent.

"Stop him!!" Old Ni shouted angrily. At the same time, Ni Si quickly grabbed the mustache's arm, dragged him hard, and then slammed his palm on the back of his neck. Before the mustache could react to what was happening, he shook and fell to the ground.

The bald man scolded in his mouth and took a hemp rope from the side to tie up the mustache: "Cowardly, he also said that he had done a big business, so he had to come with me, phew!" , I knew that it was better to leave you at home to nurse the child!" After that, he was still angry, and kicked the mustache that was tied tightly again.

"Elder Ni, what should I do?" After throwing down the mustache, Ni Si stood back beside Old Ni and asked in a low voice.

Elder Ni glanced at the broken and fallen tent, and his face was also unusually ugly. It seemed that there was no choice at this moment, Ni Lao pointed to the broken pillar and said to the bald man: "Find something to hold the tent first." He turned to look at Ni Si beside him, his eyes were already full of determination: "Let's get Lao Hu up first, we don't have much time." ”

Ni Si nodded, grabbed a hemp rope on the ground, tied his waist, and walked directly to the black thief hole.

"Be careful." Ni Lao gently patted Ni Si's shoulder. Ni Si nodded again, and then threw the other end of the hemp rope to Ma Wu on the side. Ma Wu tied the other end of the rope tightly to the wooden stake that had been nailed before, and then tightly grasped the hemp rope to signal that Ni Si was ready. Ni Si put the flashlight in his mouth and jumped into the dark hole without hesitation。。。。。。

The deep and dark cave exudes a creepy atmosphere, even if this cave is their own masterpiece, it cannot dispel the doubts and fears in everyone's hearts. The three of them were silent, no one dared to relax in the slightest, and the bald man held a steel knife in his hand, gritted his teeth, and stared at the entrance of the cave. Ni Lao and Ma Wu held the hemp rope tightly, as if the hemp rope was their last straw at this moment. The picture just stood still, no one spoke, no one moved, no one even breathed。。。。。。

Suddenly!!! The hemp rope shook slightly a few times, and then it was pulled down a few times in a regular manner, and then a huge pulling force pulled the hemp rope down.

"It's Si'er's code! Pull it up! Ni Lao was the first to react and shouted anxiously.

Ma Wu hurriedly pulled the hemp rope together, but there seemed to be something desperately resisting at the other end of the hemp rope, and it couldn't be pulled up for a while, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

"Bald, help." Ni Lao's wrinkled forehead was already blue at the moment, and beads of sweat the size of beans slowly slipped down.

When the bald man heard the shout, he hesitated, looked at the steel knife in his hand, looked at the entrance of the cave again, gritted his teeth, threw down the knife, grabbed the hemp rope and pulled it desperately. Under the full pull of the three people, the hemp rope began to contract slowly, slowly, and slowly。。。。。。

Followed by!!! A round thing slowly rose out of the hole, and it was! It turned out to be a bloody, fleshy, and unrecognizable one! Human face!!

The most frightening thing is that the corners of that face's mouth are slightly raised! It looks like it's there! It seems to be there!! Smile!!! And at the moment when that face rose out of the hole, a pair of thick arms stretched out from the hole! Hold on to the edge of the ground at the entrance of the cave!

"Damn, what a zongzi! Grandma's! It's still a laughing rice dumpling! The moment he saw that bloody face, the bald man intuitively felt that his scalp was numb, and he didn't care about the rope in his hand, so he quickly picked up the steel knife on the ground and was about to cut it off.

"Don't!! It's four! Ni Lao desperately grabbed the hemp rope that had fallen off because of the sudden loss of baldness and roared.

The bald man was stunned for a moment, and when he looked again, there was another face under that terrifying bloody face, and it was Ni Si.

Ni Si struggled out of the hole with great difficulty with his arms, and he carried a bloody corpse behind him.

Ni Si untied the corpse and threw it on the ground, then lay on the ground panting for breath, his face was very haggard, obviously carrying the corpse had exhausted his strength. The other three were all sitting on the ground at the moment, panting.

At some point, the raindrops had fallen quietly, and the crackling sound of the wind seemed to be much quieter at the moment, as if nature was brewing the last tranquility before its fury。。。。。。
