Chapter 36: The Valley of the Valley

Because what unfolded in front of us was not what we imagined the cave to look like, but it turned out to be a deep canyon. The canyon is twenty or thirty meters wide, and on the opposite side is a cliff that is as smooth as a mirror, and there is a huge stone wheel on the cliff, which is turning unhurriedly. Besides, if you find a suitable thing to block the hole, you can't even see a way to go.

In order to see the whole picture of the valley, we walked down the stone platform at the entrance of the cave, crossed the flat land more than two meters wide between the stone platform and the canyon, stood on the edge of the canyon, and turned on two high-power lights, but the opposite mountain wall and the stone wheel on the mountain wall are still not high, and the canyon is still bottomless.

If the entrance to the cave can't be blocked, it doesn't matter, there is no way to go, but the trouble is big. We walked along the flat land that was not wide on the edge of the canyon to the right, and we didn't know how far we went, and the flat land more than two meters wide actually turned in vain and stretched out to the cliff on the opposite side of the canyon.

Lu Dachuan asked, "Dad, do you know how high the cliff is opposite?" Can we climb the stone wheel? ”

Daddy Boba shook his head: "Last time, I didn't even bring a flashlight, and when I came in, I saw black rumbling everywhere, and I hurriedly found the exit and went out, and I didn't know anything about the situation inside like you." ”

I looked at the ground more than two meters wide above the canyon like a wide noodle, my legs were straight and weak, and I held Lu Dachuan's shoulders and said: "Don't be in a hurry to say if you can go up, first talk about how to cross this thing that says that the bridge is not a bridge and that the road is not a road, right?" ”

Lu Dachuan looked at me as if he didn't know me, pointed to the road behind him that we had just walked over, and said, "We have come over such a large section, and there are only twenty or thirty meters in front of me, and we have walked over in a few steps." ”

"It's easy to say." I patted the mountain wall on my right, "There is another wall on this side, and no matter how short the front is, there is no one to rely on on either side." Besides, the ground is at most ten centimeters thick, will so many of us step on it? ”

"Isn't your kid very powerful in the sky above the village at the bottom of the lake, why is it that your mother-in-law is mother-in-law now?"

"At that time, there was no way to ...... if you didn't run."

Lu Dachuan interrupted me: "Time is limited, don't be long-winded, I know in my heart, you are afraid to close your eyes and hold my shoulders for a while, just go." ”

Seeing that Lu Dachuan swore by it, as if he had gone through it many times, I still didn't know the bottom in my heart, but I couldn't say anything more.

Daddy Boba said: "Xiao Shuang is also reasonable, I asked Dorjee to go up and walk around first, and then we will go up when it is safe." ”

"No, you follow me closely, try not to look into the canyon on either side, if you are really scared, close your eyes and put your hands on the shoulders of the person in front of you."

After Lu Dachuan finished speaking, he stepped onto the ground in the air. I pulled Lu Keqin and followed. Daddy Boba greeted "Dorjee", and Dorjee jumped directly in front of Lu Dachuan with a swoop, and ran forward with his head down and sniffing his fart. After Daddy Boba followed, the others followed us in turn.

Sometimes it's really not good not to admire Lu Dachuan, the road under his feet is so thrilling, he walks fast and steadily. I put one hand on his shoulder, and the other hand pulled Lu Keqin behind me, and my eyes were fixed on the back of his head, and I didn't feel as scary as I imagined, but my heart was pounding, and I couldn't calm down at all.

Walking and walking, Lu Okawa suddenly stopped. I asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Lu Dachuan said: "It's over! ”

"So fast!" My eyes widened, but no, the huge stone wheel that was slowly turning was on my left.

When we arrived, the stone wheel felt much more than when we only saw the front in the distance, and the thickness was actually between 5 and 6 meters, and there was a large groove more than two meters wide and more than one meter deep at intervals. Looking at the whole stone wheel, we still can't see the edge up and down, but judging from the angle of the groove entering in front of us, our position should be on the right side of the stone wheel.

As the stone wheel turned, I saw that the grooves on it were uniform and shiny, like a huge gear, and I was shocked: "It seems that this should be the central power of a mechanism." ”

"It's a mother gear." Lu Dachuan looked up and down, "I don't know which side the sub-gear will be?" ”

"A gear is so big, wouldn't that be a ...... mechanism" In an instant, the terrible mechanisms such as dark arrows, flip boards, and two walls that can sandwich people into meatloaf flashed in my mind.

Lu Dachuan couldn't figure out whether the sub-gear driven by the mother gear would be at the top of the cliff, and asked Daddy Boba: "Daddy, you have good eyesight, did you see a small wheel rotating on the side of this big wheel when you just walked by?" ”

"The light was so dim that I didn't see anything."

I remembered that when the villagers repaired the tractor, when they disassembled the gearbox, they saw the situation inside and said: "Such a big wheel turns silently, and there is a pinion on the side, which is probably also touching the mechanism before it can be hung on the gear and rotate with it." ”

We have been doing such a study under the big wheel, and we have been delayed for a long time, and it is estimated that the guys who touched their eyes did not go down to the bottom of the gourd valley. Lu Dachuan said: "I hope this is the case, otherwise we will get on a meat grinder." ”

As we spoke, a blinding fan-shaped light lit up in the direction of the entrance where we entered.

Liu Changshan, who was standing behind Boba's father, said: "They are in, and the meat grinder has to break in." ”

Lu Dachuan gritted his teeth: "Up, divide into three groups, each group has a groove." ”

Although the stone wheel is large, the speed of rotation is indeed not fast, and the position where the volley road takes us is suitable. Lu Dachuan, I, Lu Keqin, Daddy Boba, and Dorjee successfully climbed into a groove; Liu Changjiao, Zhang Xiaohu, Lin Xian'er and Hu Fatzi also walked in smoothly when the groove behind us turned slightly upward; Later, Liu Fashan and others entered the third one.

The stone wheel was as smooth as an elevator, and as soon as we turned off the flashlight after we all came up, we saw that the stone platform at the entrance was lit up, and the voices of glasses, King Kong and others shouting and screaming rang out.

They did not delay for a moment when they entered, and after firing a flare on the edge of the canyon to gauge the terrain, they quickly pursued us on this side. I didn't stop when I stepped on the volley.

Seeing them move so quickly, we couldn't help but get nervous as we shrank in the grooves of the stone wheel.

I whispered to Lu Dachuan, "Running so fast, did they see us?" ”

Lu Dachuan stretched out his head and looked down and said, "It doesn't matter if you see it, they can't run in front of us, and the bullets won't turn." ”

When Lu Dachuan mentioned bullets, I couldn't help but feel sorry in my heart: "How good our guns are, take this opportunity to send them all back to their hometowns with a shuttle." ”

"Don't think about these things if you lose them, there will be a way to deal with them." At this time, they walked under the stone wheel, and Lu Dachuan grabbed my neck and pulled it down, and at the same time shrank himself.

Immediately afterwards, a man's voice came from below, "There is no road here, the only way for them to leave is to take this wheel to the top of the mountain wall...... "Listening to the voice should be the owner of glasses."

"Then what are you waiting for, catch up so that they can't eat...... In your pocket! "This Chinese is particularly lame, it should be King Kong.

I didn't see us, and I couldn't help but stick my head out again.

The glasses boss said, "Jerica, flares." Directly above. ”

Behind my glasses, I saw a young man with brown and yellow hair firing a flare with a sharp shot.

"Don't look at that thing." Lu Dachuan pulled me back again.

When the flares burned out, I saw that the glasses and the group had already gotten on the stone wheel. Lu Dachuan turned on the flashlight and shone it, and at this time we could already see the top of the cliff.

The stone wheel kept turning, and the groove we were riding in slowly rushed into the air. Lu Dachuan jumped onto the tip of the gear tooth, and jumped to the top of the mountain wall with another leap. With the help of Lu Dachuan, we also quickly got out of the stone wheel one after another.

There was a sharp whistling, and the glasses fired another flare. We quickly fell to the ground. This one is closer to us, and in an instant it shines brightly above our heads like day. Then I had time to see clearly, and the place where we were climbing was a round stone platform like a flat little square, and the other end of the stone platform was actually full of steps from the foot to the top of the mountain. The height is about 50 meters, and the steps are narrow and steep.

Needless to say, we were shocked once again. Even though everyone had a lot of questions in their hearts, no one said them. It's not that we don't want to talk about it, but it's that the situation in front is unclear, and there are pursuers in the back, so we don't have time at all.

After climbing the steps, there is a plaza-like platform on top. In order to quickly see the situation on the platform, Liu Changleg and I also turned on the flashlight. A few flashlights illuminated the platform, and we saw that the platform above was about the size of two basketball courts, and the left and right sides were empty until the root of the mountain wall, and there were two dark holes in the stone wall in front of us.

There was a distance of seven or eight meters between the two openings, and it was clear from where we stood that the hole on the left was almost twice as large as the one on the right.

We walked towards the center of the platform. Lu Dachuan asked Boba's father: "Dad, which way?" ”

Daddy Boba's breathing has not subsided, after all, he is old. He took two deep breaths and said, "Make up your own minds!" ”

"What do you say?" Lu Dachuan set his eyes on everyone.

"Okawa, you make a decision, we all listen to you." Liu Fashan said.

"Yes! It's up to you to make up your mind! The others chimed in.

Lu Dachuan shone a flashlight on the left and then on the right, a little hesitant. When he came in, he saw the huge stone wheel spinning, and he thought that there might be a terrible mechanism inside. Now there are two paths, and maybe one of them will be difficult. If you make a mistake, the consequences can be imagined.

"Zheng Shuang, what do you see?" Lu Dachuan withdrew his gaze to look at me.

I scratched my head: "I've been looking around on the ground since I came in, hoping to find something, but it's all rocky and there is no dirt, so it's impossible to leave the footprints of my predecessors...... However, judging from the size of the two openings, I think the small one should be the way to get in and out, and the big one has a special purpose. ”

Without waiting for them to ask on what basis. I continued: "Zawang said that this is where the ancestors of the big-headed little people lived, and I judged it by their height and the height of the hole in the poplar forest behind my house. ”

Lu Dachuan listened to my analysis and nodded approvingly: "You kid is really outstanding in observing things here!" The height of the small hole is quite in line with their height...... Let's go, let's go to the right. ”

Lu Dachuan walked to the right first. We followed him closely.

The hole on the right is less than 1.6 meters high, and we line up at the entrance of the hole, keeping a certain distance between each person, and the cat runs into it. Lu Dachuan, who led the team, walked cautiously, and every step he took had to take a closer look at his feet and the two cave walls. Daddy Boba pressed Dorjee's neck tightly to prevent it from rushing out. The people in the back are also carrying their hearts and trying to lighten their steps. For a moment, the cave was quiet enough to hear their breathing and heartbeat. Fortunately, the hole was a small spotlight, and it was as bright as day under the reflection of a few wolf-eye flashlights.

After walking for about ten meters, the hole turned to the left. With the experience of being in the poplar forest behind my house, Lu Dachuan did not rush to step at the turn, but stood still, first carefully observed the situation in the cave, and saw that there was no difference from the one walking behind him, and said: "It seems that Zheng Shuang's judgment is not bad at all, this is indeed the way they go in and out." ”

After walking for another ten meters, there was a second turn, still to the left. After the turn, we clearly felt the wind blowing in our face.

"It should be almost the end." Lu Dachuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly.

At this time, Daddy Boba, who was walking in the middle of the line, didn't know why he didn't leave, he stopped and whispered, "Okawa." ”

The people behind followed. The people in front of him all stood and looked back at him.

"Daddy, what's wrong?" Lu Dachuan asked in a suppressed voice.

"It seems that there is a situation, and Dorjee's reaction is not quite right." Daddy Boba said and crouched down.
