Everyone else gathered around the fat brother, but I still stood at the door of the cage with a knife in my hand, blocking the rats.

Looking back at the fat brother, by the light of the fat brother's torch, he vaguely saw an irregular circle on the floor, the circle seemed to be drawn in white chalk, and it was diagonally opposite the door in the cage.

I asked the fat guy, "What's that?" Someone drew a circle? Can I get out? ”

The fat guy studied for a while, then stood up and stomped the part of the circle with his foot.

The rats outside were getting closer and closer to me, and their faces slowly regained their fierce expressions, and I saw that the blue knife light was dimming little by little, and if I didn't leave, the rats would engulf me in an instant.

I heard a bang, and the fat brother stomped a hole in the iron floor.

I hurriedly retreated to everyone's side, and when I looked sideways, it was pitch black under the hole, and I couldn't see the bottom. The hole is not too big, and it is no problem for girls to drill through, but it is a little difficult for me and the fat brother.

Yan Qiu didn't say a word, and was the first to jump into the black hole.

Originally, I wanted to think about it again, what was the situation below, and whether I would consider jumping down, but Yan Qiu helped me make a decision.

Now that Yan Qiu has gone down, there is no need for the others to wait, if there is danger below, then she can't be allowed to face it alone. One after another, the others jumped down, and I jumped into the black hole with me.

When others jumped down, I heard the sound of water, and when I jumped myself, there was a puddle underneath.

The height below was very low, and we had to walk with our waists down, but it was all water, and we had to keep our heads up, otherwise our noses and mouths would be buried in the water. The sides are not very wide, about a meter, like a small sewer.

In front of me, I could see that Su Rina had already turned on the flashlight, and I was about to walk forward along the flashlight, when suddenly the fat brother's shouts came from behind.

I looked back and took a closer look, it turned out that the fat brother was stuck in the hole, I hurriedly turned around in the water, and pulled the fat brother off with all my strength, and my whole head was not in the water, wet from head to toe.

As soon as the fat brother came, he shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, the rat is coming." Then he scratched at himself again, and could hear the squeaky of the mouse being pinched by the fat guy, and then he was thrown into the water.

I didn't have time to ask about the fat brother's condition, as long as his leg was fine, he had to flee quickly. This rat can swim, and in such a narrow space, it doesn't even have room to fight back if it runs too slowly. I turned around and pushed forward as hard as I could.

Squatting in the water and walking forward is very physically draining, but now I have broken through my limits, my legs have long been unconscious, and I am still constantly exercising mechanically.

The passage was very tortuous, and it felt like I had been walking in this position for more than an hour before I could faintly see a faint light ahead. At this time, my consciousness was blurred, and I couldn't get my attention to anything, just staring at the light that kept moving, and I had a thought in my heart that I could live as long as I got there.

We came out of a dead grass, and when we came out, no one could stand up straight, and almost everyone who came out of the hole crawled to the side to make way for those behind.

When I came out, it was probably evening, and it was very dark, with dark clouds rolling overhead, and a cool breeze. The land was black and desolate, with patches of grass that had dried up and yellowed, in stark contrast to what we had seen at the bottom of the hill.

When I turned around, I could see that the snow-capped mountain was already very far away from us, separated by a large forest, and the woods were also very dark, and it looked particularly gloomy.

The hole we came out of was hidden behind a small dirt bag, and when we climbed out, we all lay half-lying with our backs against the mound, panting for breath.

I leaned over and rested for a while, and after panting evenly, I looked at the three girls next to me and asked, "Are you all okay?" ”

No one answered me, but they all nodded, probably too tired for anyone to speak.

At this time, I realized that the fat brother behind me hadn't come up for a long time, and my spirit immediately became nervous again, and I asked the others, "Have you seen the fat brother?" ”

As soon as I asked this, the others also suddenly realized, Yan Qiu said, "Isn't the fat brother behind you?" ”

Jiang Li said: "When I first came down, I seemed to hear the fat brother shouting twice. ”

I said, "When I shouted, I knew that I saw him come down, why was there no one walking while walking?" ”

Su Rina threw herself forward, and was about to drill into the hole, and said, "Go, go back to him." ”

If the fat brother has been killed, I'm afraid it's useless for us to go back in a hurry, if the fat brother is safe, then maybe he will climb up by himself after a while.

I persuaded Su Rina and said: "Our current body is undoubtedly going back, it is undoubtedly to die, let's rest first, and then go back to find the fat brother, if we live to see people die, we must see corpses." ”

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the fat brother came from the cave, and the fat brother said in the cave: "Oh, the mouse has long stopped chasing, what are you anxious about, but I'm tired, pull me quickly." ”

Su Rina and I sat at the entrance of the cave, each holding one of the fat brother's arms, and as soon as the body fell back, the upper half of the fat brother's body was pulled out of the hole.

After lying down, I had no strength anymore, and I didn't move on my back to the sky.

With his last strength, the fat brother got out of the hole, squeezed out of the crowd, and lay on the side of the dirt slope, unwilling to move anymore.

Su Rina's sobbing sound came from her ears, she has always regarded herself as a man, in the face of the test of life and death, she couldn't help but shed tears, and finally revealed the side of a girl's character, crying and crying are the best way for women to decompress.

Fear, fatigue, and hunger are no longer a problem for us now, as long as we live, we are happy, and I believe that Su Rina's tears must be tears of happiness.

Jiang Li's body was good, she rested in half an hour, and took the lead in sitting up and talking to us, she asked me first: "Zhanxiao, who did you say was the person who escaped from prison?" Digging such a long road, it is really perseverance. ”

I just smiled, my whole body was still sore when I laughed, I opened my mouth, and finally I was stingy and didn't spit out a word.

The fat brother said: "I care more, what kind of thing did that person use, he made a hole in the iron plate, and he can still put it back tightly, and I don't know what the white thing is." ”

Yan Qiu pointed to the grass at the entrance of the cave and said, "Didn't you see it when you came up?" There are fragments of shells, resembling necklaces around the necks of primitive people. I guess the one in the cage must have a necklace made of shells around his neck. ”

The fat brother asked again: "You are highly educated, tell us, what does this shell necklace have to do with prison breaking?" Did he dig it out of a small shell? ”

Yan Qiu smiled and said, "It's possible that digging a passage is a combination of inside and outside, right?" But the hole in the iron floor must have been made of shells. ”

The fat brother asked again: "The iron plate ground is so hard, and the shells are so brittle, how can you make holes?" ”

Yan Qiu continued to explain: "The shell is almost all calcium carbonate, and when it encounters water, it becomes calcium hydroxide, which is called lime milk can corrode iron, but it will definitely take a long time. I'm just speculating, but I think the man must have used his shell necklace and kept rubbing it in circles on the iron ground, and one day he succeeded. ”

The fat brother smiled and said, "This is a bit, right?" The ancients also knew what cover to paint lightly? ”

I corrected the fat brother and said: "It is the chemical ingredient strong calcium oxide, although the ancients did not know, but at least they knew that the iron pestle was sharpened into a needle, right?" Maybe that person just kept rubbing, and finally succeeded. ”

Although this explanation is far-fetched, it is the only clue, and the chalk-like circle of white on the cage floor is probably the powder left over from the shell, and the person who escaped must be eager to get out, even far beyond us.

Jiang Li got up, patted the dry mud on his body and said, "I just washed it, and it got dirty again." As he spoke, he walked up the dirt slope behind us, trying to take a look at his surroundings.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went up, she ran down, and said in front of me with a rich expression: "Quick, you guys go up and have a look." ”

I didn't bother to move, and lazily asked, "What's wrong?" If you have to be energetic, you take out the grilled shrimp from Sue's backpack, and let's replenish the body. ”

Jiang Li didn't listen to me, but still said in a hurry: "You better go and have a look." ”

Seeing Jiang Li so eager, I immediately felt that something was wrong. Is it dangerous again? We just ran into the advance force, and this time there are more rats? It can't be just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den, right?

I didn't make any more laziness, for fear that I would not be able to make a correct judgment in time if I encountered any danger again, a clever man quickly stood up, ran up the small dirt slope in two or three steps, and after going up, I looked carefully ahead.

I never dreamed that what I saw was such a picture, and I kept complaining to myself in my heart, why didn't I ask clearly, and prepare my heart to come up again? Because, what caught my eye was the white bones all over the mountains.
