The four of us stood outside the safe zone, with only one searchlight, forming the only light in the darkness, and after the snakes gradually quieted down, the night seemed extraordinarily silent, and in the oasis of the desert, even the animals became cautious, not making a sound, and for a moment, it seemed that I could only hear my own breathing.

At this moment, the wounds on the thighs and waist have become a little itchy from the pain of the day, which is a good sign that the damaged cells are being repaired. Since the phone was out of battery, I went to Han Xu to take a look at the watch on his wrist every once in a while, and after more than forty minutes, there was still no movement around.

The snake cave was quiet, separating the inside and outside of the cave into two worlds.

Han Zitong finally lost some stability, with a hint of anxiety in his voice, breaking the silent atmosphere: "Why haven't you come out yet, will something happen?" ”

Wang Zehai sat under a banana tree, his chin tightened, and said, "If something happens to this, I will have to lose money, hiss...... This trip was a big loss. I couldn't help but say, "Don't talk nonsense, the boss will come out safely." "This jade seller is all here, how to pour cold water.

When Wang Zehai heard this, he raised his hands, sighed, and said: "Yes, I was wrong, I was wrong, I can't do it, you are too dedicated as an employee, I will give advice to your boss when I go back, and let him give you a salary increase." As he spoke, he smiled facelessly.

Han Zitong turned his head sideways and asked me, "Before leaving, what did Boss Tan tell you?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Say it's an accident, let us retreat first." ”

Han Zitong's face was expressionless, but his voice was solemn: "But there is no reaction now, can we just keep waiting?" ”

I also felt bottomless in my heart, but there was no other way but to say: "Wait for now, and then talk about the situation." "The four of us can only wait, and when we wait until later, Wang Zehai, the jade seller, is asleep, and Han Xu is also holding a worm in his hand and salivaing from sleep, only Han Zitong and I are silent.

Time passed minute by minute, and when Wang Zehai woke up, it was already dawn, the sky was gray, the glow was not broken, and the hands of the watch pointed to more than 5:20 in the morning. Han Xu was still sleeping, and the three of us looked at each other, and none of us spoke.

In the end, Wang Zehai took the lead and said: "It's broken, something must have happened, so I shouldn't go down." ”

Han Zitong said: "But what's the use of caring about these now? ”

Wang Zehai looked at me and said, "Xiao Su, what do you say?" ”

I looked at the sky, and it was almost dawn, so I said, "As soon as the sun comes out, I will go into the snake cave to find someone." "Snake Mo is afraid of the sun, I don't have Zhou Xuanye's skills, if you want to avoid these snake Mo, you can only wait for the sun to come out.

To tell the truth, at this moment my heart was as heavy as a piece of lead, and all kinds of ominous speculations appeared in my mind, but I was facing the three people in front of me, a fat man in his fifties, a fat man who gasped after a few steps, a mentally retarded child, and a weak woman.

When Wang Zehai heard me say this, he was shocked: "You kid don't want to die!" Your two bosses haven't been able to come up, aren't you going down to die! ”

I said, "Otherwise?" We're just waiting? It's been seven hours...... I can't wait any longer. ”

Han Zitong was silent for a moment, looked up at me, and said softly: "Tiangu, I'm sorry, I can't go with you, I can't have an accident, otherwise Xiaoxu has no one to take care of, and I can't take this risk." Although she couldn't make any expression on her face, her eyes were obviously very guilty.

I didn't hope that she could help at all, first, she was invited by Wang Zehai to do things for Wang Zehai, so naturally she didn't need to risk her life for Tan Jian and the others; Secondly, she is a woman after all, and she is congenitally weak in terms of physical strength, how can she rely on such a dangerous thing? So I shook my head, looked at Han Xu, who was drooling while sleeping, and said, "Although I don't know what your relationship is, ...... I know Han Xu needs you, and it's a blessing for him to have a sister like you. ”

The guilt in Han Zitong's eyes became even stronger, and he said, "You really want to go?" ”

"Where righteousness lies, I must go! They're my boss and I can't leave them alone. "Rather, I actually consider these two to be friends. Maybe others don't know, but I know it myself, although Tan Jian looks a little poisonous and seems to be a mean boss, but in fact, for me, an employee, he has done his best, except for the breakfast like to grab my share of the bun, in other aspects, you can definitely issue a model boss brand.

On weekdays, when I make coffee, I will bring one to the table.

Have you ever seen a boss like this?

At least I haven't encountered it before.

I don't know if Tan Jian and the others regard me as friends, but I know that I can't think of them as the kind of boss who can change jobs or change jobs at any time.

Hearing this, Han Zitong nodded and said, "I know." When you come out safely, if you are interested, I will tell you about Xiaoxu, are you interested in listening? ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll come back." ”

Seeing that I had made up my mind, Wang Zehai sighed, and said with a face full of embarrassment: "Your brother Wang and I are not people who can't be saved when they die, but you see, I'm too fat, and I can't get into that snake hole." Let's take it that way......" he said, as he took out most of the insect and snake repellent pills and stuffed them into my pocket, and then zipped me up, and when he was done, he said, "I can only help you so much." ”

I felt amused for a moment and said, "Okay, Boss Wang, they'll be handed over to you." "The excuse he came up with, he really didn't lie to me, with his size, he really can't get into the snake hole, and it is estimated that he will have to get stuck in the position of his chest.

Then I started to equip myself, put on gloves, put on clothes, brought as much gear as I could, and by the time I packed everything, it was already dawn.

At this moment, although the sunlight was not strong, I tried to walk into the danger zone and found that those snakes and moths did not move, so I waved my hand at Wang Zehai and the others, Han Xu grinned and smirked, and said, "Pig Tiangu where you go, I want to play with you." He wanted to rush over, but was grabbed by Han Zitong.

We agreed to wait a day. If I don't come out of the snake cave tonight, it means that there is indeed a very tricky situation in the snake cave, if that's the case, Han Zitong and the three of them don't have to find a way to save us, just go back.

Walked steadily to the snake cave, and I looked in with the light.

The snake cave does not go straight up and down, but presents an oblique arc, and the light enters it, and you can't see too far. There was some floating soil at the entrance, and at this time, you could clearly see the traces left by Tan Jian and the others when they climbed into the snake cave.

I took a deep breath, silently recited the blessing of my ancestor in my heart, and then lowered my head and began to drill into the snake hole.

Although I am not a corpse refiner, and I don't know how to walk corpses, but I have also given a few pillars of incense to Master Zu, for the sake of everyone's familiar face, Master Zu should take care of me, right?

My body shape is relatively standard, not fat or thin, almost just right to get into the snake hole, but the whole person crawls on the ground and feels uncomfortable, a large fishy smell of snakes in the hole lingers, and people who smell it are disgusted.

As I crawled forward, I thought about what might happen.

Tan Blade, why didn't they come out? Swallowed by a snake?

This snake cave is narrow enough to allow people to crawl, and it is difficult for people to use their skills in this hole, but snakes do not have this limitation. I couldn't help but think of Tan Jian and Zhou Xuanye being swallowed by the giant python one by one, and my heart suddenly tightened.

Soon, I threw this thought out of my mind, and said in my heart that although the giant python was big, it was not enough to eat three people in a row, where did it have such a big belly? Therefore, Tan Jian and the others have not moved, it must be because of something else.

With that in mind, I began to climb on.

This snake cave is much longer than I expected, and the most surprising thing to me is that the snake cave has a strange trend, its entrance is inclined downward, but after climbing more than ten meters, the snake cave will smooth out, and become zigzag, and the further forward it is, the wider it becomes.

After more than twenty minutes, I didn't even see the end of the snake cave, and I began to be surprised.

How long is this snake cave?

With such a long snake cave, no matter how you look at it, it can't be made by the giant python, there must be another mystery in this hole.
