Calculating the time, it was already early in the morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The tiredness and pain of the day, coupled with the mental tension and exhaustion, made me stop, and my eyelids began to fight.
Before, I was groping around in the strange hole, but guessing that this strange hole was a maze, it made me nervous, I can't even play checkers, how can I expect to break out of this maze?
How lucky is it to get out of the maze by mistake!?
It would be nice if the gang leader was around, he would be able to tell hexagrams, and he should know a little bit about Jiugong gossip, Qimen Dunjia or something, maybe he could take us out.
But there is only one dreaming third child by my side...... I turned my head to look at the third child, and saw that he was still the same immortal appearance, and suddenly realized a very serious thing, this has been a long time, the third child has not eaten, drunk or slept, if he keeps dreaming like this, will he also die if he dreams?
Dreaming can also be dead, as soon as this thought came out, I felt that it was strange to the extreme, in my cognition, that is, the emperor who ate too much and diarrhea and died in the toilet can compete with one of them, but if you think about it carefully, it may really be like this.
Recall that it took me six hours to come out of the dream, and the gang leader estimated that it was later than me, but the third child had been sleepwalking for eight hours, why didn't he come out?
"The third, the third, don't dream, think about who you are, you are Zhu Jianfeng in Guanyi Village, the third, I didn't fall in love in elementary school, I was beaten by your father with a stick and was covered with blood marks, I went to the junior high school exam, passed the language headquarters, and you were the one who played table tennis, the third, the third......" I just remembered, I had to remind the third child, let him come out of the dream as soon as possible.
I shouted close to the third child's ear, and pinched and twisted the third child's body, hoping to help him, but his reaction was still in a dream, for example, if he dreamed of going to the Qinglou, I pinched him like this and twisted him, he thought it was Xiaohong Xiaocui flirting with him, and he would prefer to stay in the dream.
As for the words I shouted, I am afraid he would not hear them.
That's really troublesome.
But in addition to such shouts and stimulation, I can't think of a better way, I want to find the gang leader as soon as possible, but there is no way at all, for a moment or two, I thought of using the hollow gourd, because the gang leader said that no matter how dangerous we are in the mountains, rub the hollow gourd and go out, there will be no danger.
Is that how it works? We've only been in the mountains for a few days, and we only got a prickly date? This time I fell into someone's trap, but I haven't even seen the true face of those guys?
After using the hollow gourd to get out of the mountain, it will be difficult to enter this mountain again, no, let's find the leader of the gang first.
I decisively dismissed the idea of using a hollow gourd, took the third child, and continued to look for it.
"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock knock knock ......"
I was walking with the third child, and suddenly I heard a strange sound, different from the intermittent sound refracted by the four of us when we were shouting in the strange hole, this sound came very neatly, and it should be from top to bottom.
I guess the guys who trapped us made it.
Whatever their purpose for doing so, a sound is better than no sound, and we'd rather seize the chance to die than die in the labyrinth.
When I heard the noise, I immediately stopped to identify the center of the noise, which was behind me to the right.
I hurriedly took the third child to go there, but walking around, I found that we were farther away from the center of the ring, to be precise, I took the third child to circle around the center of the sound, and I couldn't get close.
What can I do?
The third child couldn't wake up, I was anxious and scared alone, my anxious forehead was sweating, and I didn't think of any good way, but I knew that we must not give up this opportunity, even if we can't find a way out, the gang leader hasn't found us for so long, and it will be close to the center of the sound, this time it can't meet, when will it be next time, and what kind of danger will it be......
Calm, calm, things are urgent, things are slow, things are round, calm down, and win the battle...... I thought about these many truths to warn myself, but it was still not enough, but the act of inadvertently turning off the flashlight gave me a little enlightenment, since I don't understand the maze at all, it is better to completely stumble into it!
At the moment, there is only this way to go, I turned on the flashlight again, checked the third child and what I was carrying, looked around, and directly groped for the third child.
Maybe it's because I don't rely on my eyes anymore, so I listened a lot more carefully, and when I followed the sound from above, I found that the sound from above also moved, but it didn't move all the time, but after a while, it moved a little.
Although we were also spinning around in the maze, we were finally getting closer to the sound, and as we were about to catch up under it, I suddenly heard the sound of a combination shovel slapping against the wall, which was very close to us.
"Gang leader?" It's been so long, and I haven't met any guys in the strange hole, so I shouted in a hurry.
"Si'er!" The same surprise for the gang leader.
Then we stopped talking, and turned on the flashlights, and I saw the glow of the gang leader's flashlight in a hole in front of me, and was about to rush over, but the gang leader shouted again: "Don't move, we're coming for you!" ā
"Hmm......" I agreed, feeling a lot more relieved, and the leader of the gang said 'we', which means that he has found Ning Hongyan.
I endured the ecstasy in my heart, pulled the third child, and stood in place without moving, and after a while, a pillar of light finally appeared behind us, and it was the gang leader who came over with Ning Hongyan.
After the two sides saw it, the gang leader immediately turned off his flashlight, and I saw at a glance that Ning Hongyan, who was being pulled forward by the gang leader, had the same expression and behavior as the third child, and it seemed that she had not woken up from the dream.
Judging from the place where Ning Hongyan left us and fell, it took her longer to enter the dream than the third child, and I asked anxiously, "Why hasn't Hongyan woken up yet?" ā
"There are bare grasses everywhere here, and it is impossible for our bodies to completely remove the poison of bare grass, we can only adapt, and if we have any heart knots or special wishes, it is easy to sink into dreams and not get out." The gang leader explained in a deep voice.
I understand what the gang leader means, Ning Hongyan's dream may have her mother, or there may be me.
"Can we find a way to help them?" I've realized that sleepwalking like this is dangerous, and I don't know what the situation is up there.
The gang leader shook his head and said, "Let's see what happens first!" ā
I nodded, put away the combination shovel, concentrated on the flashlight, helped the leader hand Ning Hongyan to me, and walked in front with the combination shovel and magic weapon bag, and we tried our best to follow the sound above and walked forward.
"Bang......!" Suddenly there was a muffled sound ahead, as if something had fallen.
"Squeak...... Creak...... Boom la-la-la......-la
The gang leader and I immediately figured out that there was a guy fighting with the guy who trapped us, and he fell into the trap that the gang had set up and fell into the maze, and the guy was now sealing the hole in the wall above!
It stands to reason that we should hurry to the hole and see if we can find a way to get out of it, but we are afraid of the guy who has just fallen, and he can fight the guy alone, so we get closer, what if it wants to hurt us?
In this case, we were really in a dilemma, but the gang leader hesitated for a moment and decided to move forward, after all, it was much better for me and the gang leader to work together against an unknown guy than if we were both trapped in a maze.
After two turns, we had just entered a fairly spacious hole when the gang leader suddenly stopped, and I followed suit, ready to pull out a combo shovel and fight.
The hole is only more than 20 meters long, but we are at this end of the hole, the guy is at the other end of the hole, the gang leader is standing in front of me, the light of the flashlight hits the gang leader, the afterglow can't sweep far, I can't see the guy's appearance at all.
After a pause of four or five seconds, seeing that the guy didn't move, I took the flashlight and pulled the two people to move forward slowly, and the light pillar of the flashlight kept hitting the ground, and I was afraid of startling the guy.
As the light of the flashlight continued to move forward, the gang leader and I finally saw the guy - like a tiger, but the body was thin and slender, like a lion, but the face and body hair were wrong, like a cheetah, but the tail should not be fluffy, like a big cat, but it was not an ordinary cat mutated or sperm, in short, it was a fierce beast standing there staring at us with a length of two meters and five meters and a height of one meter and five meters!
I had never even heard of such a beast, and even the well-informed gang leader was confused, so I took two people to stand beside the gang leader, which was equivalent to the four of us standing here and confronting it, with a piece of black flesh hanging from the corner of its mouth, and after a moment's pause, it turned away.
Let's call it a big cat for the time being (later, I searched many ways and found this guy on the Internet, its name is 'Gu Biao', the hunting cat family, an ancient beast that has long been extinct).
The big cat left, and the sound of the guys above covering the edge of the lid disappeared, and the gang leader and I thought about it for a while, and still felt that if we went to the place where the big cat fell, even if we couldn't find a way out, there should be some fresh air there, which would be good for Ning Hongyan and the third child.
But those guys are so fast, it's not easy for us to find that hole.
