Chapter 44: Trapped
Seeing that the Japanese Hoshino who had impersonated Chen San's name not long ago was coming to us, Lu Dachuan stood up decisively and beckoned everyone to turn around and go to the snake's nest again. We all followed neatly, and no one said half no, and I knew in my heart that the unicorn python was terrible, but bowing my head in front of little Japan, I would rather die than do it.
Soon we walked back to where we turned. Lu Dachuan pointed to the ground with his finger and said: "Sit down and wait first, if they don't come in, we'll go out after a while, if they follow up, let's stick to the wall and slip in, don't alarm the snake......"
I said, "How is it possible that so many snakes, all of them are alarmed!" ”
"I mean try to move as lightly as possible, as long as the snakes don't attack us immediately, they come with guns, and when they encounter snakes, they will have to fight fiercely, so let's find an opportunity to take advantage of it......"
The idea is good, but no one has confidence. Lu Dachuan himself is the same, there are so many snakes in the hole, even if there is a fight, half of them is enough for us. However, he knew that in this case, the most difficult thing to overcome was the despair in his heart, so he fixed his gaze, looked at everyone present, and at the same time stretched out a hand in front of everyone, and when everyone pressed their hands up, he stretched out his other hand and shook it in the top.
Withdrawing our hands, we all clutched our weapons.
Hoshino's group came in much faster than we thought, and almost as soon as we finished speaking, we heard their footsteps. Without waiting for Lu Dachuan to greet us, we took the initiative to stand up and move to the other side of the curve, counting silently in our hearts, and when we heard their breathing clearly, Lu Dachuan took the lead and slipped towards the cave full of pythons against the cave wall, and the others did not dare to breathe, almost followed closely with their eyes closed.
My eyes were closed, but I kept listening to the movement behind me, and the footsteps behind me stopped abruptly when I reached the entrance of the cave. Knowing that Mieko was swept on the arm by a unicorn python when she broke into the big hole outside, this time Hoshino and they learned well, and I scolded fiercely in my heart.
They were outside, we were inside, there was only a corner in the middle, and there were many pythons in front of us, and we didn't dare to move. After a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside. It seemed that they couldn't take it anymore, and I clenched the hilt of my sword, ready to fight hard, but the footsteps disappeared again.
After a while, there was a faint sound of talking outside.
"There's a snake in there. I guess they've already died in the belly of the snake! ”
It was Hoshino who listened, and I scolded again in my heart.
Mieko asked, "Are you sure they didn't go through the other hole?" ”
"I stayed with them until the stone platform on this side of the Grand Canyon, and then I took advantage of their unpreparedness to jump on the descending stone bridge and go back to pick you up, I knew too much about the equipment they were carrying, and it was impossible to climb up."
"What shall we do now?"
"There is a saying in China called static braking. Let's rush forward, why don't we go back and wait for the movement......"
"Rustling" There was a slight noise outside, and then everything fell silent.
The so-called wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts. We never dreamed that the group behind us would be so cautious.
"Fuck, I want to be beautiful, even if Shuang Ye dies, he has to drive a few big snakes out and make the turtle grandson suffer!"
Thinking of this, I suddenly became bolder, and looked at the snakes in the cave, and the more I looked, the more I felt that they seemed to be different from what I saw outside, and I couldn't see clearly what was different. Before, because there was a purple light source on the snake outside the cave, we didn't turn on the flashlight all the way, and after coming in, there were more snakes inside, and the more we didn't need the flashlight. Now, in order to see more clearly, I boldly turned on the flashlight and shone it on the big snake in front of me, and I was so surprised that tears flowed out.
"Look, look, these are not snakes," I said as I walked up to them, shaking their shoulders one by one, "and the skin of the snake." ”
I was a little overexcited, and I couldn't help but speak loudly.
"Shhhh
Everybody calm down. Lu Dachuan pointed to Liu Chang's legs, and then pointed outside.
Liu Changleg cautiously walked to the entrance of the cave, stretched out his head and glanced at it, and whispered, "Eat at the corner." ”
"It's so hanging!" I was relieved, only to find that the clothes on my body were soaked with sweat.
"Let's split up and see if we can get out." After taking two steps forward, Lu Dachuan admonished again, "Try to move as lightly as possible." ”
The hole inside is said to be big, it is not small, the strange rocks on the cave wall are craggy, the ground outside is quite flat, and there are large and small rocks piled up everywhere on the ground to go inside, and it seems that the cave has collapsed before. In particular, the innermost part of the cave collapsed more severely. Most of the snakeskins were on these rock piles, but many were on the walls of the caves.
Seeing that the walls of the cave were full of potholes on all sides, we were full of confidence and divided into two teams to start looking for the cave along the left and right sides of the cave wall. After the two teams met, we were disappointed, although there were many potholes in the cave, they were too shallow for even the Tibetans to hide, let alone get out.
The outside was guarded, and there was no way out inside, and we were once again in a desperate situation.
Liu Fashan, Ma Qiang and others who were seriously injured sat on the stone pile where they met. Lu Dachuan was holding on all the way, and now he was physically exhausted, so he also sat down. Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er couldn't support it, and after tossing and turning, their hair was messy, their faces were haggard, and their spirits were sluggish, and their appearance was unbearable. I wasn't seriously injured, but I also found a flat stone next to Lu Keqin and sat down, first, to recover my strength, and then there were a lot of questions swirling in my mind, I had to concentrate on thinking about it.
In contrast, Liu Changjiao and Zhang Xiaohu were better, they didn't give up, and they separated and looked back along the cave wall, for fear that they had missed something just now. The two climbed up and down on the cave wall, knocked and pushed, found a back and forth, made sure that there was no exit, and walked to everyone and sat down in dejectedness.
Lu Dachuan saw that everyone was in despair again, so he cheered up and said: "Aren't people going to eat again, let's eat something too, and at least we won't lose to them in strength if we fight for a while." ”
Liu Changjiao understood Lu Dachuan's painstaking efforts, and immediately opened the bag and took out some compressed biscuits and air-dried meat to distribute to everyone one by one. People took it, some opened the package and ate it without taking a bite, and some simply put it aside.
After chewing two biscuits, Liu Fashan fumbled in his pocket for a long time, looked at several men and said, "Which of you has a cigarette to bring, give me a cigarette." It's hard to smoke a cigarette all the way. ”
"I have." Lu Dachuan put down the biscuit in his hand, pulled the bag and fumbled in it a few times, and said, "Damn, it's gone." ”
At this time, Hu Xiaoming on the side took out a pack of soft China that opened the box and handed it over.
Liu Fashan was a little surprised: "Aren't you a smoker?" ”
"No, I don't smoke, my current body is only allowed to smell." Hu Xiaoming said self-deprecatingly, stretched out a finger as a cigarette, put it under his nose, and inhaled affectionately.
Liu Fashan popped out a few cigarettes, handed one to Lu Dachuan, one to Zhang Xiaohu, and picked one up himself. Cai Zhengdong said: "I also want to smoke one." Liu Fashan handed him one and asked me again: "Brother, you can have one too." I quickly shook my head.
Liu Fashan returned the cigarette case to Hu Xiaoming.
Hu Xiaoming said: "You can keep it." ”
Liu Fashan was not polite, and kicked it into his pocket.
Cai Zhengdong didn't know how to smoke, so he choked after taking a puff, and some people outside didn't dare to cough, covering his mouth and holding his face like an eggplant, tears came down.
Lu Dachuan lit the cigarette and did not smoke it himself, but held it up and inserted it into the stone crack in front of a mountaineering bag. Liu Fashan saw that he took out the cigarette case and was about to take it out for him again, he waved his finger and pointed to his chest and said, "It's uncomfortable." ”
Liu Fashan put the cigarette case back into the cigarette case, looked at the backpack with the cigarette and said, "What are you going to do with Dad's corpse?" ”
"Take it back to his family."
"I know. I mean, find a place to hide first, and if we can get out of danger, we can come back and get it again. ”
"There's only a handful of bones left, and it's not too heavy, so let's take it with you."
Liu Fashan was speechless and buried himself in smoking. Lu Dachuan then chewed the biscuits.
No one spoke, and the cave fell silent. Smoke rose from the noses of several people in the purple light.
I looked at the enchanting smoke and couldn't help but think about it, and for a moment I thought of where my father was, and whether he was alive or not; I thought for a moment that if I died here like this, how could my mother bear it; After a while, I thought that it would be nice for people to turn into smoke, so that I was not afraid of being trapped......
Thinking of people turning into smoke, I looked more closely at how the smoke drifted away and disappeared, and when I looked at it, I stood up suddenly, stretched out my finger in the air and suppressed the excitement in my heart and said, "Look at the smoke, look at the smoke, look at the smoke......"
I asked to look at the smoke, and they stared blankly at the sky for a long time, not seeing why, and staring at them with big eyes. They stopped, and the smoke in the air suddenly faded.
"Suck, suck!" I was so anxious that I scratched the monkey's cheeks and asked Liu Fashan and others to smoke in large gulps.
They were baffled, but they did it anyway. When the smoke from the noses of a few people drifted above our heads, I said, "Look where the smoke is going!" ”
Then they saw that the smoke rose to a certain height and gradually gathered together, and as they approached the cave wall, one place suddenly increased its speed as if it had been pushed, and flowed like water towards the low lying between the two rocks.
"Empty! The back is empty! Lu Dachuan looked at me like a demonic obstacle.
Zheng Shuang nodded vigorously. His face was filled with irrepressible joy.
Knowing what I had discovered, the gloom on everyone's faces was swept away. Liu Changleg and Zhang Xiaohu stepped on the raised stones and climbed the cave wall. Lu Dachuan, Liu Fashan and others also stood up and walked to the cave wall, looking up. I was just about to get up, Lu Keqin smashed him with his elbow and said, "Big fool, if you find a hole, just say it, let us see the smoke." ”
Zheng Shuang scratched his head: "Aren't I too happy, didn't I forget what to say." ”
"Pig's head!" Lu Keqin pulled my clothes and stood up, no matter what my reaction was, she stood up and walked towards Lu Dachuan.
Liu Changjiao and Zhang Xiaohu were enthusiastically tinkering on the cave wall.
"How?" Lu Dachuan asked with a raised face.
Liu Changleg turned his face and said, "It's moving!" The back is indeed empty. ”
There was a sound of "Kala", and a small stone stuck between the two large stones was pushed by Zhang Xiaohu and fell into the cave wall, and a hole that was only large enough for one person to drill appeared in front of them.
"That's it! It's done! Liu Chang's legs and eyes lit up.
Zhang Xiaohu turned on the flashlight, shone it inside, and said to Liu Peng: "The space is not small, I'll go first to see the situation." ”
"Be careful." Liu stood up with long legs and moved out of the way.
Zhang Xiaohu put the flashlight in his mouth, stretched out his arms and crawled inside. Liu on the side of the long legs supported him, and his legs were getting higher and higher. Zhang Xiaohu started to enter very slowly, and after waiting for his waist to enter, he "stabbed" and disappeared. Our hearts were lifted at once.
