Chapter 52: A Strange Stone Wall
I had just woken up, my head was still dizzy and uncomfortable, and I was leaning weakly against the cold stone wall
The fat man looked at me with a haggard and sad face and said, "Lao Zheng, doesn't this look like your character?" Why did you suddenly see that you have become a decadent literary and artistic youth, don't forget, we are hooligans. ”
Tianyu glanced at the fat man, and said in his heart: What is this, is there such a comforting thing as you?
The fat man ignored her, and then said to me, "You have forgotten, we dared to go up to the tree to dig out the bird's nest when we were five years old; At the age of seven, he snatched the old hen from the weasel's mouth, and then secretly stewed and ate it; At the age of ten, he ran to peek at the big girl in the village taking a bath, but was chased by her big yellow dog for more than ten miles, and finally was bitten all over the body, but not a single tear fell, but twisted with the vicious dog, and finally made his mouth full of dog hair, but the big yellow dog was afraid of biting, and since then it saw us both, not all far away from the tail and ran away. If you want to talk about hooligans, who can play the two of us. But now you are spilling urine as you are at this time, the passing quails dare to make nests on your head, and the dogs are disgusted to next to you, what kind of bird have you become now? ”
Listening to the fat man's words constantly counting me, I was not angry at all, the haze in my heart was swept away, but suddenly brightened, the corners of my mouth immediately rose unconsciously, and the smile of recruitment instantly returned to my face. I smiled and looked at the fat man who was chattering and foaming: "Yes, my grandmother is a stinky hooligan, I am a hooligan, who am I afraid of." With that, I got up from the ground, put one arm around the fat man's shoulder, and said, "What's the big deal?" Even if I'm a fart now, with my brother with me, I'm not alone on the Huangquan Road. "Finished. We both laughed out loud like madmen.
Tianyu looked at me with a relaxed body, but frowned with a thoughtful expression.
The smoke man's eagle eyes kept staring at the candles on the wall, expressionless and unable to tell what he was thinking.
I explained the current situation to the fat man in detail. Immediately he asked him, "How, brother?" Do you want to gamble. ”
The fat man immediately blurted out without thinking: "Of course I have to gamble, will I wait." Trapped here? This is not something I will do, fat man. ”
We both agreed on the same opinion, which was to take a gamble and turn the wall lamp on the opposite wall. Because. If we are really unfortunate enough to open a deadly mechanism, with our current physical condition, it is more or less possible to avoid traps such as poison arrows. But when we're trapped too long, we're exhausted. Let's open the mechanism again. Then we are absolutely certain to die.
Tianyu didn't say anything, still maintaining a strange expression that was uncertain. Ever since we stepped into the arrow array in the pit, she seems to have completely changed into a person, no, she has become many people, like a schizophrenia with multiple personalities, I wonder if her personality is like this, but it was better disguised before; Or because of the influence of this underground dark tomb. It makes her a little weird and abnormal, and since she entered this stone room. Her abnormality became more and more intense, as if she was possessed by multiple evil spirits with different personalities.
But now I don't have time or interest to think about her personality, and the first priority at the moment has to be on the prevention and safety of danger before turning on the wall lamp.
Everyone gathered around to discuss it, and found that there were no effective preventive measures, at most, the backpack was carried on the chest to reduce the injury of vital organs in the body, and the rest could not be controlled so much.
The fat man volunteered to open the mechanism, he took out a cotton white vest from his backpack and wrapped it around his head, only his eyes were exposed, and then put the backpack on his chest, and then walked to the stone wall step by step.
The stone room was so quiet that I could hear even a needle dropping, and I could clearly hear the fat man swallowing saliva, and my nerves were tense to the point of collapse.
I quietly followed the fat man, and then came close to him, and he turned to look at me, and asked me in a muffled voice, "What are you doing here?" ”
I pressed my body against the nearest stone wall to the fat man, and then said to him, "In case of danger, get close so that I can save you." ”
The fat man gave me a blank look, because we both knew in our hearts that in such a small space, once we touched the mechanism, everyone would inevitably die, and there was no time to help each other.
The fat man took a deep breath, then looked at me again, this time with an inquiring look, and I barely forced my very stiff neck to bend slightly, and nodded to indicate that I was ready to do it. The fat man immediately took the order to arch his body backwards, so that his body was as far away from the stone wall as possible, in order to avoid the poisonous arrows of the trap, and also to facilitate the escape.
The fat man was fully prepared, so he held his hands tightly on the wall lamp and turned it vigorously.
There was a loud "click", which startled everyone and gasped involuntarily, but we didn't have to come back to our senses. The stone wall in front of the fat man swooped into the top, revealing a very strange-looking wall, all made of large and small stones.
The fat man had already slipped to my side, and when he saw that there was no poisonous arrow and poisonous smoke, he rested on the stone wall beside me with peace of mind, turned his head and asked me, "What kind of stone wall is this?" It's weird. With that, he reached out to the strange stone wall in front of him, wanting to touch the stone built on it.
I hurriedly yelled, "Don't move," and grabbed the fat man's hand. As a result, he was so frightened that he withdrew his hand suddenly, and his body involuntarily took several steps backwards, looking at me with a look of shock.
Tianyu and Yannan, who were about to walk in, were also startled, and they stopped in surprise in front of the strange stone wall, looking at me inexplicably.
I took a step back, steadied myself an arm's length away from the strange stone wall, then craned my neck, brought my ears close to the stone wall about three inches, and closed my eyes to listen.
As a result, no sound was heard.
I straightened up and explained to the confused people, "This stone wall can't be touched." You see, the perimeter of this peculiar stone wall is made of large stone blocks of different shapes, and the purpose is to fix them, mainly to fix these smooth pebbles in the middle of the stone wall. These round oval stones of different sizes filled in the middle of the stone wall can easily be easily toppled by external forces, and then I suspect that a large amount of fine sand will pour out from behind the stone wall, and people can be buried alive in an instant. This is a trap that is not uncommon in ancient times, and it is also the most vicious trap, once touched, the quicksand will fill the stone chamber in an instant, so that all the people in it, all drowned, suffocated to death, and no one can escape. ”
After hearing this, everyone invariably retreated backwards and left, trying to stay away from the strange stone wall.
The exit did not appear as expected, and now there is another frightening stone wall. However, my state of mind at this moment is completely different, I have completely put life and death out of my body, and there is nothing to fear me anymore.
The fat man sat down on the ground and asked, "What's next?" ”
I smiled and replied, "There's always a way." ”
Tianyu muttered expressionlessly, "I'm so optimistic." ”
I still had a smile on my face, and said with a relaxed smile: "The four smartest and most capable people in the world are here, and I don't believe that we can't think of a way to get out of here." ”
The fat man cheekily echoed: "That's it, that's it." ”
Tianyu scoffed at our boasting, and then said coldly, "I'm not feeling well." He put her backpack on the ground and lay down to rest.
I saw that her face was a little pale, so I asked her very worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell, do you want to drink some water?" ”
Tianyu's expression was very painful, and he barely squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "I'm a little dizzy and weak, probably too tired, just sleep for a while." ”
The fat man was also very worried and said, "Then you can sleep well." It must have been taking care of us all the time, and we couldn't rest well, so we were tired. ”
Watching Tianyu close his eyes, I said to the fat man, "You can also sleep, I will call you if there is something." ”
The fat man waved his hand and said, "I'm not sleepy at all." It's just that my head feels a little dizzy, probably because of the lack of air circulation in the closed stone room. ”
I was a little worried and said, "Then you just lean against the stone wall, close your eyes and rest." After saying that, I turned around to check on the condition of the cigarette man, but found that he was also looking at me, and his face was a look of wanting to speak and stopping, which surprised me a little, so I walked up to him and asked him, "Brother Cigarette Man, are you sleepy?" Do you want to get some sleep? ”
The smoke man shook his head, a pair of eagle eyes stared at my face tightly, and as a result, I was furious, and I couldn't help but shiver.
Suddenly, the cigarette man grabbed my hand and pressed two fingers to the door of my wrist.
I subconsciously and instinctively wanted to break free, but when I found that he was checking my pulse, I was relieved.
However, all of a sudden, I realized something else, and my heart immediately hung in the air. I thought: Why did the smoke man suddenly check my pulse, is there something wrong with my body? However, I didn't notice it at all.
The cigarette man reached out his other hand and touched my forehead, then lit the cigarette on his mouth and took a deep breath, then opened the backpack beside him and rummaged through it.
I was very surprised and touched my forehead, which felt like it was slightly hot.
The fat man who was resting on the stone wall also reached out curiously, touched my forehead, and then asked me with concern, "You have a cold?" ”
As a result, before I could speak, I heard the smoke man say faintly: "It's poisoning." (To be continued......)
