Volume 3 The Dragons Present Chapter 72 Strange Culverts
So it can be said that this trip is almost a contest of physical strength. But fortunately, those of us are no strangers to walking mountain roads, and although the amount of work is large, it is not a completely unsolvable problem.
As for the legend of the small barbarian country, Heizi went out for most of the day yesterday for this matter, according to the reaction he received, the old people in Rongcheng are no strangers to the small barbarian country (here they call it Wuguo), and several people do not wait for Heizi to speak, as if they can't stop talking, it can be seen that the original news may have spread throughout the country from here.
Leaving the inn, the group took a rickshaw to the railway station, bought a ticket and took a short train, starting from Rongcheng and ending at the next city, there is a very dilapidated stop on the way, after arriving there, the remaining part of the road can also take a carriage, and then you can only walk.
The strange thing is that after getting on the train, I found that there are really not a few people dressed in the same clothes as us, and the big head saw this and reminded in a low voice, "It seems that some forces have found this place only by those three parts of the cowhide, and then, some are in chaos." ”
The carriage was full, almost only the eleven vacant seats we had booked, and a group of strangers who had already gotten on the train and sat down saw us, but raised their heads slightly, and the vigilant eyes quickly swept over us and then took them back, and the feeling of being watched was always uncomfortable, but this kind of short-distance train did not have the equipment of a sleeper at all, so they could only sit on it.
When the wheels were rattling, all kinds of dialects sounded in the carriage, and I couldn't understand what those people were saying for a long time, so I had to give up and look out the window.
There are many mountainous mausoleums in the Bashu region, and I see it at this moment. Only then did I know that what I said was true, and when I looked at it, there were high and low peaks everywhere, stretching endlessly and seemed to stretch to the sky, Xiu'er supported her head with both hands, and turned to me from time to time. I don't know what she's thinking.
Kuroko closed his eyes and was expressionless, and when I thought he was really asleep, I suddenly heard him turn his head sideways and whisper, "Big head guessed right, those people are indeed talking about the affairs of Ukraine." ”
Sure enough, when I heard the sound, I turned my head to look at them, and at a cursory glance, there were at least three waves of people in this carriage alone, and then look at the bulging hiking bags they put at their feet. That's right.
The monkey looked a little nervous, "What then?" How does this happen every time. ”
I smiled wryly, yes, why didn't any of them go smoothly and no one bothered me.
"Don't worry about it so much at first, it will take more than two hours to get to the station where we want to get off, and when the time comes, just let them go first." Kuroko closed his eyes again after speaking. This time it was like I really wanted to rest.
I thought about it too, and the wind and waves came over. And because there are so many people who are timid, Xiu'er leaned on my shoulder, listening to the rhythmic sound of the wheels turning, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep completely. The clean and beautiful little face is printed on the car window, blurry and real.
Before I knew it, as if the voice had a natural hypnotic effect, it led me into a deep sleep, until a sudden thump woke me up from my sleep. Only then did I find that the surrounding area was pitch black with no fingers visible. I realized that the situation was wrong, so I hurriedly reached out to Xiu'er, but fortunately, the person was still there.
"Kuroko, big head, and smokers are all awake, something is wrong!" I shouted hurriedly.
But the voice seemed to sink into the sea, and there was no response. Fortunately, the backpack was at my feet, I fumbled and took out the miner's lamp, unscrewed it, the light passed through, and a more strange situation appeared in front of my eyes, only to see that all the people who were originally full of people in the carriage disappeared, just when I thought that the same situation had happened to the big head, I turned the light in a panic, but I saw that everyone except me was like dead, leaning motionless on the chair. That scene, not to mention how penetrating it is.
My body was stiff and unable to get up because of the excessive fright, the train had completely stopped moving, and it was a long time before I could turn around, look at Xiu'er sitting next to me, trembling and reaching out to her nose, a steady breath with a hint of coolness fell on my fingers, slightly soothing my tense nerves, I secretly said in my heart, "It's good not to die, it's good not to die." ”
But what happened next took the weirdness to another level, and no matter how much I pushed or even punched them, these people stopped moving as if they were unconscious. I was the only one left to stay awake, pacing back and forth impatiently in the dark carriage by leaning on a miner's lamp.
Finally, as a last resort, I used a short knife and gently poked the fat man's arm with the tip of the knife, but I still did not get the slightest response, at this time, I thought of going to the front and rear carriages to see if the other passengers had encountered the same situation, and I did not think that when I called the link door of the two carriages and was about to move on, I found that there was no carriage in front of me, only endless darkness. It was as if the train had left the carriage of the ten of us alone in an unknown place.
I trembled and lowered the light to the ground, I had seen strange things, and I was always used to thinking about things in the bad way, on the one hand, I was extremely expecting that we were on the railroad tracks of reality, and on the other hand, I was a little afraid to verify it. After struggling inwardly for a while, I finally looked down at the rubble in the area covered by the diffused light.
In that case, this carriage can indeed be left behind! But where did those people go? Could it be that they did it? And why? With this in mind, I hurriedly turned around and ran to the rear, opened the door, and it was the same situation.
Before getting on the train, I remembered that we were not in the last car, and it is understandable that whoever cut the link from the front caused this car to be abandoned, but the cars in the back disappeared together, which seems unbelievable, and besides, what kind of place is this? Even at night, you can't even see the sky.
I stood at the junction at the back of the carriage, glanced back at the people who were still asleep, hesitated for a while, and decided to go down to the ground first, figuring out where they were and then trying to wake them up.
Touching the railroad tracks with our feet at least proves that we are not experiencing some illusory ghosts or gods, and it is a good thing to be optimistic.
The lights shone on both sides, and it took me a while to make out that it seemed to be a culvert of exaggerated length, and the railroad tracks in the mountainous area often passed through the mountains, and these culverts were cold and dark for many years, and I didn't need to continue walking, but on the way back, there was one thing that caught my attention, the four pairs of parallel rails on the ground showed that the width of the culvert here was quite large, you know, normally speaking, the construction party would not bother to toss so much. (To be continued......)
