Chapter 20: Walking Alone
When I woke up, it was completely dark, and Gao Sishou and Xiao Ma didn't seem to have returned. I called out to the third child, but he didn't answer me, I thought he was asleep.
When I closed my eyes and rested, the third child was sitting next to me. I subconsciously reached out to push the third child, trying to wake him up, but my hand reached over, and there was no one. I thought he had changed his position to rest, and I was just about to scream crazy, when I suddenly realized that there was a problem!
I couldn't hear the third child's breathing, it was normal, he didn't snore. But crazy big is different, although there is a "whooshing" waterfall at the entrance of the cave, but it can't hide the crazy snoring.
At the moment, my heart is groaning! I turned on the flashlight and shone it around, and the whole body was blinded.
The crazy big and the third are gone!
At this moment, I was so shocked that my tongue was numb, and I quickly got up and screamed. Actually, I wanted to call Gao Sishou, Brother Xiaoma, and the crazy big and the third child, but I didn't know what I was shouting when I shouted it.
No, no one responded to me. The only thing that responded to me was the humming echo from the cave, the "whirring" sound of the falling waterfall, and then the sound of my own "poof, puff" heartbeat.
I was so angry that my legs went limp, and I collapsed to the ground. At this time, the whole body was lying on his stomach and couldn't lift any strength, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his mind was blank. I closed my eyes and breathed almost greedily, and the sound of heavy, eager breathing gave me a little comfort.
People are actually very strange animals, as long as someone accompanies them, even if there is only one person, no matter whether this person is a man, a woman, an old man, or a young person, even if it is a tiger's den in Longtan, you will have the courage to break through. However, when you are alone, even in your own home, you will still feel inexplicable fear.
I'm just that.
In the past, when Crazy and Third called me, I usually didn't respond, and sometimes I even thought they were annoying. Of course, this does not conflict with the depth of their feelings, and I can do anything for them if necessary. Now, God knows how much I longed to hear, "Dick!" ”
However, it is such a simple sentence, and now it has become a luxury. People should learn to be content.
That's right, phone! I still have my phone! Sometimes I really realize that I am so stupid, if the phone can have a signal, they will not call me?
After sitting like this for more than half an hour, my heart gradually calmed down. I relieved my spirits, and my strength was restored. Watching the time pass on the mobile phone minute by minute, it is simply an ordeal. This feeling reminds me of school life, but I can still pass the time by sleeping at school, and now, I can't sleep even if I want to.
No way! You can't do it like that. I put my phone back in my pocket, and the weak light source of the flashlight didn't do much to help me. Here, even if a black friend is smiling at you next to you, you can't see his teeth. I had to turn off the flashlight and return to the tactical belt and replace the headlamp.
This headlamp was used once when passing through the corpse forest, the explosion-proof type, very bright, it was the kind of dazzling white brightness, and it took a while for the eyes to adapt to this level of strong light after opening.
What's going on? It's a little impulsive to do things like crazy, and it's impossible to even leave me like the third child without even saying hello. Don't? What happened to them? It's impossible, there's no trace of an accident around, and even if something happens, there's still time to call me, right? I'm not going to sleep that dead, am I?!
It would be even more impossible to say that they left me alone to find the treasure! I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in this world than that Mad Da and the third would leave me for some treasure. Bah! Isn't it unpleasant to mention ghosts in this environment?
There are no ghosts in this world! I am a young man with aspiring ideals and aspirations, and a pure materialist progressive. I'm not going to be intimidated by all the ghosts and gods, they're just illusory sugar-coated shells, and I have an impregnable heart. Yes! Brave young man, what a wonderful world you are in!
I rub! I'm starting to think cranky again! I put the mess behind me and got my mind back on track. Crazy Big and the third should have seen that Gao Sishou and Xiao Ma hadn't come back for so long, so they wanted to look for them, and when they saw that I was asleep, they didn't want to wake me up.
Definitely! This idea is the most explainable, and it is also very consistent with the character of the crazy big and the third child. Thinking of this, my mood suddenly relaxed. Now I have to think about: Am I here waiting for them to come back? Or go looking for them?
Wait, that's not right! It's been nearly five hours since the time for Gao Sishou to explore the way, and it's time to come back to explore the way. Don't? Are they in danger? No way! I'm going to look for them, and if they are in trouble, they might be waiting for me to come to their rescue!
Thinking of this, I quickly took a few deep breaths, adjusted my state, and moved my hands and feet again.
"Shao Xi!"
I stood upright, "Here!" ”
"Now there is a very urgent mission, which is to rescue your comrades who are in deep crisis! The time has come for the organization to test you, do you have the confidence to complete the task! ”
I yelled, "Yes! ”
"Good! Let's go! Neuropathy! ”
Alas, I'm really insane. Hold on, comrades! Your lifesaver is here
I don't have any weapons, the shotgun is in the high fourth hand, the flintlock pistol is in the crazy one, the shell gun is in the third child, and I can't use it, I only have a dagger that the old man gave.
"It's good, it's better than nothing, maybe you can have a heroic self-cut in case of danger!" I laughed at myself.
Step by step, I walked very carefully. Gen Lao popularized this knowledge to us, and I knew that in this environment, it was very likely that there would be hidden mechanisms. If you're not careful, then congratulations, you'll soon be able to shake hands with Lord Yama and say you're lucky.
After walking about 500 meters into the cave (I kept counting my steps to give myself courage, my step was almost a meter), and suddenly it dawned on me. If I hadn't been in the hole, I would have felt like I was on the highway, (of course, if you raise the bar and say that the highway is asphalt and there are street lights or something, then I can't help it) at least five trucks can pass side by side, or the kind of 100-ton mass that can pass through at least.
Wait, there won't be a toll booth to collect tolls, right? Could it be that they were detained because they had no money? No way! They have money! At least n times richer than me. Besides, you're walking, not driving! What tolls to charge! Even if there is a toll booth, they don't have the right to detain people!
Anthracene, you're right!
I rub! I'm starting to think cranky again! How many steps have you taken? No matter, just go.
The road suddenly became wider, and I felt a sense of emptiness in my heart, and I always felt that if I continued to walk, something would happen that I could not have predicted. I lit a cigarette to refresh my spirits, and walked two more cigarettes forward, when I suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Why is it that the more you walk, the more blurred your vision is? Is it possible that you are short-sighted when you walk? Impossible! There is no precedent for this in medicine. When I took off the headlamp, I saw that the battery level was sufficient.
What's going on here? My heart started beating faster again
Just as I was thinking about whether to move on to my blindness, or to stay put. Suddenly I felt water flowing down my cheeks, and I touched it with my hand, and the water in my hand was in my hand. At first I thought it was sweat, but then it was sweat.
The air here isn't as fresh as outside, but it's not stuffy either. Besides, I walked very carefully and not fast, so it couldn't have been sweat at all.
So, what is this water?
Now, as soon as the scalp is numb, the real sweat comes out.
I stood still and didn't dare to move. This water is coming down from the cheeks, so it means that it is coming down from the top of the head. What's on it?
All of a sudden, all the horror movies I had watched before flashed into my mind. I had already imagined that there was a female ghost dressed in white, with wet hair dripping down, her face was as pale as paper, her mouth full of fangs was open, and a pair of blood-red eyes were staring at me fiercely.
I rub! I closed my eyes and didn't dare to think about it anymore, reciting the six-character mantra of Buddhism in my mouth. After about five minutes like this, I secretly decided in my heart that even if I die, I must also see your appearance clearly, so that I can know what kind of ghost I was killed by, and then I can sue Lord Yama.
Wait, am I not a materialist youth? No matter! Die and die! I opened my eyes and jerked my head up. I rub! It's empty, there's nothing, and it's scaring itself.
So, how do you explain this droplet? After thinking about it for a while, I really wanted to give myself a mouthful.
A twenty meters above my head was the river, and the water of the river would surely seep down slowly. During the day, the temperature is high, and all the water that seeps down vaporizes it. At night, when the temperature drops and the air is quite humid, when it cools to a certain extent, some of the water vapor in the air will condense and become many small water droplets.
To put it simply, it's fog!
I've learned this when I was in school.,No wonder I said how the vision slowly became blurred.,Everything is formed by the fog.,And I scared myself to say what female ghosts! I rub! I just say that there are no ghosts in this world! Believe in science!
Thinking of this, the nervous mood suddenly relaxed, lit a cigarette for himself, and carefully continued to explore while smoking.
The more I walked, the thicker the fog became, and even under the light of the explosion-proof headlights, my line of sight was less than three meters, so I walked more carefully. How long is this hole? At my speed, I've walked about a thousand meters now, right? Why is it as if there is no end?
I stopped, shouted their names a few more times, listened intently, but no one answered me, and the response was still my own echo.
Just as I raised my foot and wanted to continue walking, looking for it, suddenly, I was stunned by what I saw, and I didn't know whether to step forward or retract when I stepped away
