Chapter XXXVI Planned Testing
Yang Xue saw her brother come out of the darkness, and her whole excitement was overflowing, and she hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Lao Yang's arm, as if she was worried that if she didn't hold him so tightly, the other party would disappear again. However, I saw some strange things in Lao Yang's eyes, such as the surprise and strangeness that flashed in his eyes when he walked out www.biquge.info of the darkness. and the numbness he showed when he saw us, and the vigilance and vigilance that came with it. These flickering details, because of Yang Xue's personal factors, did not pay attention to it, and I, as a bystander, a slightly calm person, can easily see that the old Yang in front of me seems to be different.
Besides, what happened to the bloodstains on Lao Yang's hands? It didn't seem that there were any wounds on his body, but his clothes were a little torn, so whose blood was on his hands? What exactly did he experience in the dark, and with whom did he come into conflict? At this time, I couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in my heart, and after the two brothers and sisters finished greeting each other, I told Lao Yang the doubts in my chest, and the latter immediately showed a very angry look, and his eyes also showed a trace of resentment:
"The guy surnamed Ma, he wants to kill me......"
"How so?" I wondered, "What is his motive?" ”
Lao Yang glared at me coldly, as if I shouldn't have questioned his answer:
"What else can it be for? Don't you just want to kill us all so that you can take that treasure to ourselves! In fact, I had long been aware of his conspiracy, and wanted to go around in front of him in the dark and secretly restrain him. But after I untied the rope, I didn't take a few steps before I was separated from you, and since then, I've been wandering around in the dark...... Until, until the guy surnamed Ma reappeared, how did I recognize him? It's very simple, I smell it and I'm sure it's him. I then secretly outflanked him from behind, trying to restrain his hands, but he was ready to pull out his dagger and stab at me. I scuffled with him in the dark, and then the dagger accidentally cut his arm, and he ran away in pain. Yes, the blood on my hand is his, but his injuries aren't serious, we need to get out of here! ”
Lao Yang said, let's quickly pack up our things, put on life jackets, and go to the other side from the underground lake. But for Lao Yang's explanation, I am still a little skeptical, if that Uncle Ma wants to swallow the treasure alone, then there are countless opportunities for him to kill me and Yang Xue, why is he willing to risk going to the dark to find Lao Yang's whereabouts? This matter is really a bit unreasonable, but Lao Yang has come back alive and said this to us again, Yang Xue and I have no reason not to believe him for a while, so we have to follow his wishes, pack up our things, follow the raised rocks, take a rope down to the shore of the underground lake, and begin to put the life jacket on our bodies.
I looked at the calm underground lake while wearing the strap of my life jacket, and said to myself, "This blue lake doesn't look friendly, and I don't know if there are big fish or monsters hidden in it......
Lao Yang seemed a little impatient, and when he heard me say these unlucky words, he gave me a look, and I looked at him as if he was blaming me, so he shut up. We quickly put on life jackets and, under the leadership of Lao Yang, began to walk into the lake. The water temperature of this underground lake was very cold, and we all took off our shoes and put them in waterproof backpacks because we were going to wade into the water. I shuddered, looked around, gritted my teeth, and thought to myself that a long pain is better than a short pain, and I will find a way to warm myself when I get to the other side.
All three of us were nervous during the water, because the water level of this underground lake was deep, and there was a high possibility of dangerous underwater life, so we were very vigilant and watched our feet. But fortunately, we are not so unlucky every time, as soon as we enter the water, we can meet monsters, this time the crossing process is quite smooth, but when we arrived at the opposite bank, due to the water temperature is too low, there are different degrees of body hypothermia. I had to take out the remaining bottle of gasoline, pick out the extra life jacket, drench some gasoline and light a campfire to keep warm.
During the break when the three of us gathered around the campfire, Lao Yang shouted at me a little dissatisfied:
"Why did you get into the water when you were in the lake? Are you looking for death? ”
Seeing Lao Yang's angry look, I was not too surprised, thinking that everything was just expected, so I said to him: "It's nothing, I'm just worried about some monsters under the water, and I want to dive into the water to check it out." ”
Yang Xue seemed to see something, looked at me in a little surprise, and stopped talking. I was worried that she couldn't bear to mess up my plans for a while, so I hurriedly winked at her, meaning that it was nothing, just a test. Yang Xue finally understood, withdrew her gaze, and looked at Lao Yang again, revealing a look of disbelief.
In fact, when Lao Yang proposed to cross the lake, I had already planned it. Because the location where Yang Xue threw the bronze mirror into the lake before, it was close to the shore of the lake, and the lake water there was relatively shallow, so I thought about going into the bottom of the water to find it, maybe I could find the bronze mirror back.
When I touched the bronze mirror, Yang Xue was swimming next to me and saw it at a glance, but I gave her a hint at the time and asked her to keep quiet. My suspicion of Lao Yang is actually completely unreasonable, but for some reason, since he disappeared and reappeared, I always feel that this Lao Yang in front of me is a little weird, and I can't tell where the fault is, so I want to secretly take the bronze mirror to observe, if he really has anything abnormal, I also have a bottom in my heart.
While Lao Yang was baking clothes, I secretly gave Yang Xue a look, and the latter understood, stood up casually, and slowly approached me.
I stole another glance at Lao Yang, and found him sitting by the fire in a daze, with a pensive look, his clothes baking in his hands, thinking about something, and not noticing me at all. I turned my back to him and quietly took out the bronze mirror, and when Yang Xue came over, we leaned side by side, raised the bronze mirror, and reflected it on Lao Yang's side.
Although the bronze mirror is a little mottled, the faces of me and Yang Xue are clearly printed on it. The strange thing is that through the gap between our two faces, we can clearly see the fire behind us, but we can't see half of Lao Yang's figure!
Faced with such a strange situation, Yang Xue and I couldn't help but shudder, and we couldn't help but look back, wanting to see what was going on, Lao Yang was obviously sitting by the fire behind me, why was there no image of him in the bronze mirror?
Unexpectedly, as soon as we turned our heads, an extremely hideous face suddenly appeared in front of us, almost close to our face, and sneered strangely: "Hehe! You've found ......."
Before we could make a move, this "Lao Yang" had already raised a sharp knife in his hand and stabbed at me fiercely, things happened too suddenly, between the lightning and flint, I didn't have time to dodge, I felt that I was pushed hard, and the whole person immediately lost his balance due to inertia and fell to the side.
At the same time, I heard Yang Xue snort, and when I looked at it again, the sharp knife had already been inserted into her chest, and the long blade was completely submerged, leaving only a piece of the handle exposed. (To be continued.) )
