Chapter 53: Little Black
When I saw the figure standing in front of me, my mind was a little foggy.
Is this a person or what? How is it taller than Yao Giant? What do you have to eat to grow so tall and strong? If you go out to play basketball, you can dominate the basketball world alone, right? I saw that my cranky mistake had been made again, so I quickly interrupted myself and turned my head to look at Gao Sishou to see what he had to say.
Gao Sishou obviously didn't expect such a thing to appear, he couldn't make a sound when he looked at it, and the expression on his face was difficult to figure out under the fog. The third probe opened his mouth to say the word "this", but Gao Si raised his hand lightly and interrupted it with one hand, and he motioned for us to keep quiet. Brother Pony stopped watching us from behind, and when he came to take a look, he was also stunned.
For a moment, we all looked at the figure in a daze, and it was almost to the point of a dilemma. It's not that we don't want to go back, it's just that as long as we move, the 'person' will detect it and attack us. Let's not talk about whether the figure is a human or not, even if it is a human being, I am afraid that the sum of several of us is not enough for people to stretch their waists.
This passage is too narrow, although we have people like Xiao Ma and Gao Si Shou, and our physical flexibility is definitely much better than that figure, but these are not reflected here at all. Just imagine, the four of us rushed up to fight with others, but before they could come to him, we had to fly out as soon as they raised their legs.
At the moment we have two guns, the crazy flintlock pistol on me, and the shotgun left by Daddy Nong on the back of the third one, but both guns are out of ammunition. Our most powerful weapon is the hunting knife in each hand, not to mention whether the hunting knife can cut the figure, even if it can be cut, we can't be sure how effective it is.
Actually, the main thing is that we can't be sure that the figure is a person. If it's human, that's fine, at least he's flesh and blood, and maybe he can communicate or something. But is that a person? How can a person grow so tall? At present, the tallest person on the Guinness Book of Records is only 2.72 meters, but according to my eye, the figure in front of me is at least between 3.5 meters and 4 meters tall.
The figure stood motionless, and the passage was pitch black, and the fog was so thick that I couldn't tell if he was facing us or facing away from us, I could only vaguely see that it was a human-like figure. The only thing I knew for sure was that the figure was thin, very out of proportion to his height.
I stood like this for a while, my legs were numb, but the figure never moved, and I had begun to fantasize about the arrival of the legendary wild man, and my heart said, even the wild man is not so tall, right? was messing up nonsense, Gao Sishou became impatient, and he turned his head to look at the little horse brother next to me, meaning: Go up and take a look?
Brother Xiao Ma weighed it, nodded and said softly: "Wait first" After speaking, he pulled me back and shook the third child intentionally or unintentionally, as if he had something to say to him, but he never opened that mouth. I think he should want to apologize to the third brother, after all, although the third child fell and was not injured, it can be regarded as a mistake by Brother Xiaoma.
He whispered to me: "You go back to the tomb first, and I will go up with Gao Sishou (as he dares to call it) to have a look, and if we don't come back within two hours, you can go and find the madman, and then exit the grotto, and don't look for us again, as if you haven't been here, nothing has happened." ”
When I heard it, how did this seem to be an explanation of the aftermath? My heart was anxious, but I didn't dare to speak loudly, so I gritted my teeth and lowered my voice: "Is this necessary?" The figure didn't move, he hadn't noticed us yet, so why didn't we quit together. ”
Brother Pony's mouth opened, wanting to speak but not speaking. Then he patted Gao Si's hand, pointed to the backpack full of Ming weapons on his back and said, "Give them the backpack."
Gao Sishou was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, if we die, it's useless to keep this thing." "I'm going to unpack my backpack. My heart moved, and I waved my hand to stop: "Wait and see, we have been standing here for a while, and we have spoken, and our bodies have moved, but the figure is still not moving, so you never thought that it was a dead thing?" ”
As soon as I said this, Gao Si patted his thigh with his hand, but he still looked at the figure cautiously before he lowered his voice and said, "Yes, this is a human or a ghost, he is a monster, and he is not that tall, right?" When Brother Shao said this, I think it is very likely that the tomb owner deliberately carved the stone figures placed here, in order to scare those timid tomb robbers! ”
Listening to Gao Sishou say this, we all suddenly realized, lifelike stone carvings on the way we have seen, although some hideous, but in the final analysis, it is a 'stone tiger', and there is nothing to be afraid of.
I breathed a sigh of relief, the fear in my heart was more than half gone, and I was about to bend down to rub my numb thighs, when Brother Pony said another word, and our hearts were lifted again. He said, "No, there seems to be a wheezing sound from that figure, it's not a dead thing, it looks like it's asleep." ”
"Did you hear that right?" I couldn't help but be horrified. Brother Xiao Ma looked at me noncommittally, as if to say: Guess what I'll wipe! I'm pretending to be cool and wearing a dead fish face again. If what Brother Pony said is true, it's not unscientific! Can you fall asleep while standing? Could it be that the figure belongs to a chicken?
Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, I still use science to explain this magic cave, and I am really stupid enough. Thinking of this, my heart trembled, Demon Cave! I suddenly remembered what the old man said in my dream, could this be the 'demon' he was talking about? If that thing was a living thing, at that height, it would be nine times out of ten.
The third child and I listened attentively, but we didn't hear any wheezing. I was about to ask Brother Pony if he had a tailwind ear, but why I couldn't hear any wheezing. At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "That's Xiao Hei"
The three of them immediately turned their heads to look at me, and my heart suddenly shook, "Xiaoling! Are you awake? ”
Nong Xiaoling straightened up in my arms, rubbed my neck with one hand and nodded. I saw that her face was a little pale, and there were crystal tears hanging from the side of her slender eyelashes. When I thought of Daddy Nong, who died tragically, my heart couldn't help but feel numb, and I didn't know how to explain it to her.
The third child knew that I was embarrassed, so he took Nong Xiaoling from my hand. He pondered for a while, and said to Nong Xiaoling: "Xiaoling, that you" squeaked for a long time and didn't say it after all.
Several of us lowered our heads, and we all felt a little guilty in our hearts, although Daddy Nong's death was not directly related to us, but after all, it was because of us. For a moment, there was silence in the passage, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing. Unexpectedly, it was Nong Xiaoling who broke the deadlock in the end, she pointed her hand at the figure, "That's Xiao Hei." ”
Hearing Nong Xiaoling's words, a few of us suddenly seemed to have broken free from the trapped shackles, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed. But that was just for a moment, we looked in the direction of Nong Xiaoling's finger, and we all had an incredible look. "Blackie? Are you referring to the thing up front? I said to Nong Xiaoling in surprise.
Nong Xiaoling blinked, looking very innocent. She nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
What Nong Xiaoling said was very casual, but a few of us looked at you and you looked at me, all of them were extremely incredible. is such a behemoth, in Nong Xiaoling's mouth, it seems to have become a pea princess, and she is so easy-going, as if Nong Xiaoling is very similar to that thing, as if she is her doll.
Gao Sishou immediately winked at me and motioned for me to ask clearly. I had no choice but to babble: "That Xiaoling is not small, right?" How do you call him Blackie? Does it know you well? ”
As soon as I finished asking, I was already fantasizing, Nong Xiaoling called that thing Xiaohei, does that mean that there are still medium black, old black, male black, female black, very black, very black, very black? Just thinking about it, Nong Xiaoling smiled a little embarrassedly and replied: "It's a bit big compared to the average, but it's not much bigger, grandpa called them little black, and they also caught little white rabbits for me to play with!" ”
They! I rub! There's more than one of them. This is a big problem! Just this one in front of us is enough for us to worry a lot, if there are three or four or five of them directly, then we are really immortals and it will be difficult to save them. Gao Sishou signaled us not to panic, he turned his head to Xiao Ling and said, "Xiao Ling, you tell us, how many Xiao Hei has?" ”
Nong Xiaoling frowned slightly and thought about it, "I don't know, it's a lot anyway." After saying that, she also spread her hands in an encirclement to describe the number of them.
As soon as Nong Xiaoling said this, my scalp went numb, but then I thought about it, Nong Xiaoling seemed to be very familiar with them, and maybe he could help us get through this difficulty. Thinking of this, my heart calmed down a little. Gao Si swallowed his saliva, "Then Xiaoling, is there any way you can get Xiao Hei away?" ”
Nong Xiaoling looked at us one by one, as if she couldn't understand it. She said, "Yes, but why take them away?" she said. ”
Originally, we were a little excited when we heard Nong Xiaoling say yes, but she innocently asked us why, and this question made us cry and laugh. Seeing that she is a little reluctant, we can't force her, after all, she is not an adult, not to mention her well-behaved makes us reluctant, you know, we still feel guilty about her.
Although Nong Xiaoling is very well-behaved and sensible, she is still a child after all, and children still need to be induced. So, Gao Sishou put down his face and said to Nong Xiaoling with a kind face: "Xiaoling, look, your little black is blocking our way, if it doesn't go away, won't we be able to get by?" ”
Nong Xiaoling heard Gao Sishou say this, frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said yes. Seeing her nod her head, we almost wanted to high-five each other. Gao Sishou said patiently: "Xiaoling, then how can I call that Xiao Hei away?" ”
I saw that Nong Xiaoling didn't answer, stretched out the thumb and index finger of her right hand and put it in her mouth, and then gasped violently, and then, we heard a whistle resounding in the passage
