Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Vanishing Ranks
Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Vanishing Team
(Update delivered, continued Thursday.) )
The fat man asked me if I could go, and said that I would not take a break again, and I couldn't go out now anyway, and I was not in a hurry for a while.
I stood up and walked around, feeling how well my body was recovering, and then nodding at the fat man, indicating that it was okay. The fat man said yes, and then we started to make our way to the other side of the tombway.
It is said that it is a tomb road on the other side, but in fact, it is just walking along the road in front of you. Anyway, this cemetery is a circle, and no matter how you go, you will go to the place where the fat man found the cigarette butts.
When we got there, I saw the body of the big snake that was running after the fat man. Its entire head had been blown to pieces, taking on the shape of a flower, and the walls around it were stained with red and white things. You don't have to think about it to know what it is. I cautiously went up and kicked it, and found that it was dead. The fat man pointed to the big snake and said, "It's the first time I've seen such a big snake after living for so long." It looks like someone has to weigh as much. If it weren't for the fat man, I was so clever that I invited him to eat a popping candy when he was about to bite me, maybe he would have been swallowed alive a long time ago. ”
I looked down at the serpent's corpse and measured its length with my footsteps. More than eight steps. And that's when the corpse is curled up. Its body is thicker than my waist.
The fat man kicked the serpent's corpse and tried to turn it over. I didn't expect it to be too heavy, and changing from kicking to kicking didn't make it turn over. I didn't understand what the fat man was going to do, so I asked him, "Your head has been blown up by you, and you are still angry, and you still want to kick it?" ”
The fat man rolled his eyes: "You know a fart, come and help me, turn it over together." ”
I looked at the scales on the snake's body and was a little disgusted, but I still stretched out my foot to help the fat man turn the snake over.
After the serpent turned over, I saw the fat man draw his dagger. I was stunned for a moment and asked him, "You blow someone up to death, and you still have to whip the corpse?" ”
"If you don't understand, don't talk." The fat man said, and then aimed at the belly of the big snake Bai Huahua and slashed it. After the cut, the fat man put his hand inside.
I watched the fat man's movements with a feeling of disgust, don't look away from him. The heart said that when I waited, I wouldn't take out a thigh or a half-amputated hand or something like that.
I didn't look at the fat man, but I could tell from the sound of the fat man's mouth that he was still trying to find something. After a while, I heard the fat man "whoop". I looked back at the fat man and saw that he had something about the size of a fist in his hand.
"What's that?" I asked him.
"Snake gall, good thing." The fat man handed me the snake gall with an extremely unpleasant but indescribable smell, and I choked it, and hurriedly turned my head to retch, leaning against the wall.
"What's your reaction? Good stuff, this is. So saying, the fat man handed me the snake gall again. Smelling the smell of the internal organs, I only felt that my head was swollen, my throat was tight, and I vomited out a mouthful of yellow bile.
"Take it, take it." I pushed the fat man away, "If you let me see this thing again, believe it or not," I spit out another mouthful of yellow bile before I could finish speaking. The fat man on the side saw that I was really uncomfortable, and he also put away the snake gall bladder in a funny way, and then came over to pat me on the back.
After a while, I waved my hand at the fat man: "You dare to eat such a big snake gall?" ”
"The thousand-year-old ginseng is still old, why don't you eat it too." The fat man said.
I was too lazy to argue with the fat man, and waved my hand again: "Yes, hurry up and find a mechanism." Otherwise, when the dry food is finished, we should eat this snake. ”
Hearing me say this, the fat man's eyes lit up: "That's a good dare, this snake doesn't know how many years it has lived, it's a big supplement." ”
I yelled damn you, ignored him, turned around and started looking for a switch on the wall.
This search took more than an hour. The walls of the tomb are all made of bluestone bricks one by one, and there is no protrusion at all. Even if there is a mechanism, it is estimated that it is hidden behind the bluestone bricks, and it is very difficult to find.
After looking for a while, the fat man suddenly said, "Hey, you say, are we mistaken?" ”
I looked at the fat man: "What do you mean?" ”
"You see, I also have a habit of smoking. But that doesn't mean I can only smoke in one fixed place. ”
I didn't understand, and the fat man explained, "I can smoke as I go, I don't have to finish smoking in one place, right?" ”
Now I understood, "You mean my father's team might just be passing by and someone in the line was smoking and happened to throw cigarette butts here?" ”
The fat man nodded: "If that's the case, it's troublesome, we can't be sure where they found the mechanism to get out of these hundreds of meters of the tomb." ”
"So what then?"
The fat man made a gesture not to speak for me to stop talking, and then pinched his chin and remembered.
I saw that the fat man was thinking about it, and I didn't dare to disturb him, and I was in a hurry by myself. Knock on the wall all at once, knock on the wall all at once, and knock on the floor tiles on the ground all at once. But the results speak for themselves.
The fat man pressed his eyes against the wall and thought for almost half an hour, and if it weren't for the occasional movement, I would have thought he was asleep.
"Why don't we walk around the graveyard again, knocking on the wall as we go, and see if the spot is empty?" I said.
The fat man looked up at me and said, "Do you know how thick the bluestone bricks used to build the tomb are?" As he spoke, the fat man got up and gave me a piece of the wall to make a gesture of please, "You knock on one and try it?" ”
"I can't find the mechanism, and I can't knock it, what should I do?"
The fat man touched the bluestone bricks and said, "If you really can't do it, you can only use explosives." Control the dose and you should be fine. With that, the fat man opened his backpack and began to mix explosives.
It didn't take long for the fat man's explosives to be prepared. I saw that this time the explosives were much smaller than the previous ones, estimated to be the size of a third of a fist.
"Stay away, beware of the ceiling collapsing and burying you." The fat man turned his head and said.
I groaned, and said in my heart that I would hide away without you saying it. But before I could run away, a cacophony suddenly sounded in the graveyard.
The fat man and I were stunned at the same time, looked at each other, and asked each other with their eyes if they had heard it too, and then nodded at the same time.
"Damn, there's not a snake, is there?" The fat man said, "It doesn't make sense, this tomb is sealed, even if there are snakes, they can't get in." ”
"Could it be the wind?" I asked.
"Where the wind comes from in this place?" The fat man looked around vigilantly, and the cacophony was still echoing in the tombway.
"Where's the voice?" said the fat man to himself. I just wanted to speak, but I saw the fat man make a gesture not to speak, so I had to keep my mouth shut honestly.
The fat man listened with his ears sideways, trying to discern the direction of the sound. However, the tunnel-like structure in the tomb makes the sound constantly collide and reverberate as it travels, and there is no way to tell the source of the sound.
I looked at the fat man's frowning and serious expression, and I couldn't help but get nervous. The heart said that this tomb should be like the one under the plank road, and there are Yin soldiers, right? Or is it coming from my father's team? Where are they? Or are they already out?
