Chapter 45: Missing
Liu Changleg was the closest, and he climbed to the entrance of the cave and shouted: "Huzi, Huzi ......"
We also hurriedly climbed to the cave wall, and as soon as we climbed to the front, we saw Zhang Xiaohu's head sticking out of the hole, and there was a flashlight in his mouth. "I'm fine." He said vaguely.
The flashlight is dazzling, and we cover our eyes with our hands. Zhang Xiaohu spit out a flashlight and said, "When you enter, your feet go down first, and I will follow inside." ”
We passed the bags in first, and then drilled into the holes one by one. When he arrived at Hu Fatzi, he inevitably suffered a lot because of his stomach.
The last one was Liu Long Legs, who suddenly struggled violently halfway through. We sensed that something was wrong, and dragged him in with both feet like a corpse.
After Liu Changjiao came in, he covered his eyes and said, "Quickly block the hole, they came in." ”
Zhang Xiaohu picked up a big stone and just put it on the entrance of the cave. A burst of gunfire rang out outside.
I saw that Zhang Xiaohu was having some difficulty holding the stone alone, so I hurriedly stepped forward and used my shoulder to carry it with him.
Lu Dachuan saw Liu Changleg covering his eyes with both hands and didn't let go, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with your eyes?" ”
"Let the flashbang of the dog day dodge a little."
Liu Changleg said as he helped Zhang Xiaohu to get up, and helped us carry the stone from the other side.
Lu Dachuan saw that Liu Changleg was fine, and motioned to the rest of the people to turn off the flashlight and sit on the ground.
The inside was not lit by purple light from the outside, and when the flashlight was turned off, the surroundings were plunged into darkness.
The dense gunfire outside rang out for almost a minute before stopping. Immediately after that, I heard Hoshino yelling, "Eight Grid Tooth Road!" Search the cave. Then there was a messy of footsteps and chattering.
After about ten minutes, the gibble stopped.
"Looks like they're gone." Mieko's voice.
"When I was fighting the snakes, I saw them in a trance, and it was said that they should not have left, but we must have missed something." Hoshino's voice.
As he spoke, Hoshino seemed to personally inspect every part of the cave that he felt suspicious. After a moment of footsteps, I clearly heard him say, "Strange, this stone looks a little awkward." ”
Knowing that he was right outside the rock we were holding onto, my heart jumped to my throat.
Hoshino called to his men, "You, you, come up and pry this stone." ”
I don't know what kind of pry they were using, but I heard a "gurgling" sound of stones.
"I can't pry it out, push it inside."
There was a great force coming from the stone, and I, Liu Peng, and Zhang Xiaohu fought desperately. After the strength was gone, we heard a man outside talking in Japanese. None of us knew Japanese, and we couldn't understand what it meant when we heard it.
"Bastard! I didn't see that there were landslides everywhere here, with explosives, do you want to bury us alive! ”
After a little more tinkering, silence returned to the sound of footsteps outside. It seems that they accepted the fact that we were leaving and retreated. Inside, me, Liu Peng, and Zhang Xiaohu were relieved, and their legs were so weak that they couldn't stand.
"What a hanging! If they use explosives, we'll die. "I sat on the ground.
Zhang Xiaohu turned on the flashlight and said, "Go to the side a little, I'll move a few stones to block the hole." ”
I'll let the side let go. Zhang Xiaohu and Liu Changleg moved a few stones from the side to hold the stone stuffed into the hole firmly from below, and sat down on the spot.
Seeing that Liu Changjiao rubbed his eyes again, I asked, "Long legs, you don't matter, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a little blurry." He said a word, and then scolded again, "If you don't call Lao Tzu a nickname, you can die!" ”
Before I could speak, Hu Fatzi said: "What are you afraid of with long legs, this is our grandfather is different, let the short legs envy it!" ”
"The dead fat man said that he was instigated by you and didn't admit it, so he was accidentally exposed!" Liu Changleg said, "I have long legs and short legs, and your fat body is probably only envied by pigs!" ”
"Holy shit! The fat man helps you speak, your baby doesn't appreciate it, why do you still beat a rake? ”
Liu Changleg learned the tone of the fat man Hu and said, "Fuck! Are you helping me? I didn't hear it, and I'm not uncommon to talk about legs! ”
I didn't care if I said a word, but they quarreled endlessly.
Lu Dachuan said: "A group of turtle grandsons still dare to call themselves masters, so let me get up and see what's going on inside." ”
We laughed and laughed, and the injuries on our bodies seemed to be in a much better mood, and one by one we got up, put on our bags, and walked down the rocky slope piled up by the collapse to check the situation in the hole inside.
After walking in for a while, Lu Dachuan at the front exclaimed, "Huh? It's strange to look here, this half is the same as the outside, how did the inside suddenly become a karst landscape? ”
Lu Dachuan's words immediately attracted our attention, and we all looked at him, only to notice that half of this cave was different from all the caves we had passed through before, not only the landform, but also the color of the rocks.
I had never been in a cave before, and I suddenly saw that the top of the cave, the ground, and the walls of the cave were full of stones of various shapes, and I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth for a long time. Lu Keqin touched my shoulder and whispered, "I haven't seen it!" ”
I was looking intently when I answered her with a slurred voice.
"Then you don't have to open your mouth so wide, and you're not afraid of swallows going in and building a nest......" said Lu Keqin reached out to support my chin and closed his mouth like a drawer.
I knew that Lu Keqin's madness came up again, so I didn't speak again, took her hand off her chin and held it, and continued to enjoy the wonders of the cave.
At this time, Lu Dachuan bypassed a cluster of stalagmites like huge squid whiskers in the center of the cave and walked deeper. Zhang Xiaohu followed from the other side to see the situation inside. I also wanted to go over and have a look, but when I saw that Liu Fashan, Cai Zhengdong and others were standing still, I held back.
After a while, Lu Dachuan turned around and said, "It's quite complicated inside, let's rest here for a while and then go out the same way." ”
"Rest here?" Liu Fashan's eyes swept around the cave, with an uneasy expression on his face.
"It doesn't matter, there are a lot of small holes in the cave wall over there, and you can feel the wind." Lu Dachuan tilted his chin into the cave, "If you don't hurry up and get some sleep, when you go out, they will target us again, and we will be trapped to death if we don't let people beat us to death." ”
Indeed, since departure, except for Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er who slept for a while, the rest of the people almost didn't close their eyes, and we were nervous all the time before and could still support it, but now Lu Dachuan said that there is no danger here to sleep, and we immediately feel that our eyelids are too heavy.
I saw that everyone started to clean up the sleeping place, and I was a little uneasy, so I asked Lu Keqin, who was busy with work, in a low voice: "Sister Keqin, aren't you afraid of beasts?" ”
"Probably not, because the air in the cave is not well circulated, so it is not suitable for breathing."
"But your brother said it's ...... ventilated here."
"Why are you so grinding! You don't want to sleep and stand guard for everyone, if you want to sleep, you can help. ”
I was choked by Lu Keqin and stopped talking, and followed everyone to move the rubble that had fallen from the collapse on the ground.
Lin Xian'er on the side heard the two of us muttering and smiled slightly.
When Lu Keqin saw it, he got entangled and made a fuss, and was scolded by Lu Dachuan twice, pouting and pinching me before stopping.
Soon a flat area was cleared, and we brought our backpacks over and put them down.
"Set up a tent for Xian'er and Keqin, we don't have to bother, we can sleep outside." Lu Dachuan said and looked into the cave, "Why hasn't Huzi come back yet?" Pack up, I'll go and see. ”
Lu Dachuan walked into the cave. Liu and I helped set up the tent and lay out the sleeping bag.
Liu Fashan said: "Let's light the stove and boil some hot water, drinking cold water makes my stomach uncomfortable." ”
"Lao Liu, you're old!" Fat Hu pointed to his stomach and said, "We won't feel bad drinking ice in our stomach." ”
"Really? I'll see what kind of baby belly you are. Cai Zhengdong leaned up and rubbed Hu Xiaoming's stomach.
Hu Xiaoming immediately cried out in pain: "Ouch! You're a mother, you're a Cai...... Vegetable melon ...... Rookie...... My stomach ......"
We were amused by him.
The pain eased a little, and the fat man Hu covered his stomach with one hand and his chest with the other and said: "It's not cold in my heart when I drink ice, why do I feel cold when I look at you laughing at me?" ”
"Take it out and give you warmth." Liu Fashan took out the stove and said in his hand.
"No, oily baba, I'd better get in my sleeping bag and warm up." Hu Fatzi got into the sleeping bag and praised how comfortable he slept a few words, and then he snored like thunder.
We saw that he had just spoken, and for a second he slept like a pig, and we couldn't help but laugh again.
"Xiao Shuang, help me bring the pot."
Liu Fashan walked towards the open area in the cave with the stove. I picked up the camping folding pot with water poured on the ground and followed him. We walked to the stalagmites like squid whiskers, Liu Fashan put down the stove and lit the fire, and I sat down on the pot.
Seeing the darkness in the cave in front of me, I couldn't help but ask, "Why is there no light in the cave at all, where did they go?" ”
Liu Fashan also felt that something was wrong, so he took out his flashlight and turned it on to shine into the cave: "Don't have anything wrong!" ”
"Dachuan-Huzi-" Liu Fashan was anxious, opened his throat and shouted twice into the cave.
After the echo disappeared, the cave was silent, and no sound could be heard.
We glanced at each other, and a sense of foreboding rose in our hearts.
"I guess something happened, I'll go in and take a look." Realizing that Lu Dachuan and Zhang Xiaohu were in an abnormal situation, I walked towards the cave.
"Nothing to bring!" Liu Fashan grabbed me, "Go back and bring your things, I'll go with you." ”
They all lay down, heard me talking to Liu Fashan, climbed out of their sleeping bags, and looked at the two of us. The two of us walked over and went straight to the hiking bag.
"Dachuan and they won't come back for a long time, it is estimated that there is a situation inside, Xiao Shuang and I will go in and take a look, you guys are guarding here, don't all fall asleep." Liu Fashan said while checking the equipment in his bag.
Lin Xian'er and Lu Keqin climbed out of the tent; Liu Changjiao and Cai Zhengdong put on their shoes and wanted to go together.
"The situation is unknown, and it may not be useful if there are more people." Liu Fashan picked up his bag, held a lamp in one hand and a knife in the other, looked at Liu Changleg and Cai Zhengdong and said, "Ma Qiang and Keqin have experienced few things, you two have to worry more, and you won't be able to stand it for a while, and call Hu Xiaoming up." ”
Liu Changjiao looked at Lu Keqin and them, and didn't insist anymore: "I know, you pay attention to safety." ”
Liu Fashan nodded and told them not to forget to turn off the fire when the water was boiling. Then we walked briskly towards the cave.
Liu Fashan and I were dumbfounded when we didn't go far into the cave, because we saw the whole picture of the cave (the area is not much bigger than a basketball court, and the ground does not count the stalagmites at the entrance, only a stone pillar with three people hugging each other, located in the center of the cave, and the rest of the place can almost be said to be flat; Compared with the underground, although the roof of the cave is hung with strange-shaped stalactites everywhere, the shortest one from the ground is more than one person high, which does not affect the line of sight at all; There are quite a few small holes mentioned by Lu Dachuan on the cave wall, but none of them are more than 20 centimeters in diameter, so it is impossible for people to enter...... ), but they didn't find another exit from the cave.
Liu Fashan looked at the cave carefully, took off his gas mask and said, "Liu Peng, the problem is serious. I thought they had accidentally fallen into an underground cavern or walked into a fork in the hole and were stunned by the poisonous air, but there was no cave or fork here, so where did they go? ”
I also took off my mask and stuffed it into my bag: "Look for it again, we might have missed it?" ”
"How can a big butt leak!?" Liu Fashan said this, but he still followed me.
We took another turn in the cave and made sure that we didn't miss anything, and we didn't want to believe it in our hearts, but we had to admit that Lu Dachuan and Zhang Xiaohu disappeared like a fart that didn't smell and didn't make a sound.
