Chapter 13: A Pit in a Pit

The remaining six members of the search and rescue team continued to walk through the endless deep pit. Suddenly, the ground under my feet shook violently, and I quickly pulled the blonde female translator beside me and fled to the periphery of the shock.

Five zhang, ten zhang, the ground moved back quickly under my feet, and I pulled the blonde female translator to finally get farther and farther away from the vibration point. However, when we hurriedly fled from the shaking point, we didn't notice it, and the other people were getting farther and farther away from us, and finally disappeared. This time, God didn't leave me alone again, it left a blonde beauty by my side.

The female translator and I stopped in a breathless manner, only to find that Master and they were gone. The shaking was so sudden and so strong that some of the ground in the pit cracked. We were so focused on our feet that we didn't notice which direction the others were running. I looked at the female translator beside me, who had been looking at me with those big blue eyes, and then I noticed that I was still holding her hand tightly, so I hurriedly let go of my grip in embarrassment.

I turned back to look in the direction I had come from, and said to the female interpreter, "We seem to be scattered, have you seen the others in which direction they are running away?" ”

The female translator shook her head, sweat sliding down her forehead, and I took a handkerchief from my pocket and wiped the sweat from her forehead. After wiping it, I realized that my behavior was a bit **, so I hurriedly withdrew my hand, looked away, and said to her with some embarrassment: "I'm too tired, let's sit here and rest for a while, and then go to find the lost team." ”

After I finished speaking, I sat down on the floor to rest, and the female translator sat beside me without pretentiousness. We've been together for two days and we've been through all sorts of situations together, big and small, but I don't know her name yet. So, after clearing her throat and coughing dryly, she asked her, "Can you tell me your name?" As soon as the words came out, I immediately felt that my wording and tone were a little wrong, and this kind of question was too easy to misunderstand. However, when she thinks that she is a foreigner, she should not be able to hear this subtle difference, after all, Chinese is broad and profound, and it is also difficult to understand!

As a result, the blonde female translator smiled very sweetly at me and said to me in a very amorous manner: "I thought you wouldn't ask for my name, and I haven't had a chance to introduce myself." My name is Sophia, Russian, twenty-five years old, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Sven. ”

It's over, after listening to her tone, I knew that she had misunderstood, and it was a complete misunderstanding, and there was some kind of ** naked spark flashing in her eyes, which burned me all over my body and made me a little overwhelmed. I paused for a moment in a panic before I smiled and nodded, "Nice to meet you, Sophia." ”

Since Sophia declared her name, it was as if she had opened the conversation, like a happy mountain swallow, chattering non-stop, far from the shrewd and capable appearance when she first met, and I sincerely hoped that she would reveal her undoubted nature, and it was not because she was alone with me. Because, I don't want her to misunderstand that I am interesting to her, although she is very kind and beautiful, and she is generous. However, she is not my type, I like the kind of classical beauty that seems to come out of the painting, and I don't like to eat Western food, which is really wrong.

Sophia is full of fantasies about the mysterious China, and she keeps asking me all kinds of strange questions, such as whether dragons really exist zài? Isn't my kung fu also very good, can I fly the eaves and walk the wall like my master? and other questions that seem to me to be very out of tune. And I could only answer her repeatedly: "No, no, it's all myths and legends." ”

After Sophia asked a lot of inexplicable questions, she was a little shy, and asked me affectionately, "Then do you have a girlfriend?" ”

Without even thinking about it, I simply replied to her, "No." Because, it is true that I don't have a girlfriend now, but as soon as the words came out, I immediately regretted it, and thought to myself: if she asked me next, "Is it okay for me to be your girlfriend?" "So what should I do?

Because, this kind of question is the most tricky question for me, and I don't know how to answer it. It's really because of my hesitant character, it's difficult to make a decisive refusal in the first place, and considering that there are only two of us left now, if we reject her, then we will always be in an awkward state, what a disturbing thing. This kind of thinking is not out of my own self-inflicted feelings, they are very foreigners, dare to love and hate, and completely advocate freedom and unrestrainedness, and girls will definitely express their feelings boldly.

As a result, fortunately I was worried in vain, and Sophia just looked at me with a smile and didn't say anything. I'm not the kind of person who is very direct and straightforward, and the emotional expression is even more of a mess, at this time I can't say what I think at all, and I'm really not sure that I can directly refuse other people's overtures, but I'm not the kind of person who is good at wronging and seeking perfection, and the ideas I think will never be shaken lightly. Therefore, this kind of question at this time, whether to answer or not to answer, is very cruel for both parties. I stood up with some guilt, lifted her small backpack into my hand, and then walked forward silently with my head down.

On the way, Sophia suddenly remembered something, and said to me very happily: "I have a walkie-talkie in my backpack, let's take it out and try it to see if we can contact the captain?" After speaking, she took her own backpack from my hand, took out a black walkie-talkie, and then twisted the knob on it, and the walkie-talkie immediately came out with a "squeaky squeak" sound, which was so bad that it sounded like a ghost**. Sophia hurriedly turned off the walkie-talkie and said frustratedly: "There seems to be interference here, and the walkie-talkie can't be used." ”

Before, when I got lost alone in the deep pit, I had already found that the magnetic field in the deep pit was disordered, and the compass was turning in a panic, and it was estimated that the electronic instruments should also be disturbed by large and small interferences.

At this time, Sophia suddenly said again, "Why don't we shout a few times!" Maybe someone else noticed the direction we fled and is coming for us right now. ”

I think that in such an open place, just shouting a few voices is purely a matter of luck, and it is not very useful at all. However, I couldn't dampen Sophia's enthusiasm at this time, so I had to smile and nod, maybe my smile gave her strength, and her screams were completely beyond my imagination, almost not breaking my eardrums, not much like the sound of an alarm.

Sophia's cries drifted through the pit, and she didn't know where to go. However, there was not the slightest echo around, let alone an answer, and she was inevitably a little disappointed.

I could only comfort her, saying, "It's too big here, and it's not loud, so maybe we'll meet them if we keep going." ”

Sophia's two deer eyes looked at me watery and said, "Is it true?" ”

I fell into this pool of water in an instant, nodded without hesitation, she immediately happily pulled me forward, while walking, while humming a foreign song, seeing her happy expression, my mood also improved, and I relaxed and let her hold her hand.

Time was passing quickly, the sun had begun to set in the west, and the sweat on his forehead was flowing down like a waterfall. The hands of Sophia's watch had already crossed the time, so we stopped to start the first meal of the day, I was so tired that I wanted to lie down and sleep, but Sophia next to me was full of energy, and I felt that if I gave her a pair of wings, she could fly to the sky.

Sophia, whose personality was suddenly active, was as noisy as a house finch, and my sleepiness was completely disturbed by her, and I couldn't help but say: A woman is really the most incomprehensible creature in the world, and her personality can change in a thousand ways in a day, so that you can never guess what she is thinking at every moment?

Sophia and I rested for a while, and then we began to continue our confused journey in the deep pit, feeling that all the way we walked in the deep pit could circle the earth, and I couldn't help but think: It seems that the hope of meeting Master and them before dark is very slim. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart, and then I thought of the fat man, so I pondered the situation between him and the smoke man, and estimated that they had entered the real Tang Tomb. The periphery of the cemetery on the ground of Tangling is already full of witchcraft, and the ghosts are abnormal, it is conceivable that there must be many mechanisms inside, hidden dangers, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life. Thinking about it, thinking about it, worry kept pouring out like a torrent of spring water, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

Just when I kept my head down, full of worries. Suddenly, my feet were empty, my body slid downward, and at the critical moment, out of human instinct and self-preservation, I grabbed Sophia beside me. As a result, she was unfortunately pulled down together, and both fell into a dirt pit, which was a small pit in a large pit.

When we unfortunately fell into the pit, we did not fall vertically in a straight line, but rolled down, because there was a slope below the pit I fell into, which also made us fortunate to avoid Yan Zòng's fall, but the butt hurt from falling. I hurriedly stood up, pulled Sophia up from the ground, and said to her with some guilt and embarrassment: "I'm really sorry just now, I pulled you down because of my survival instinct, and as soon as I was excited, I pulled you down." Are you okay? Have you ever been injured in a fall? ”

Sophia looked at me, shook her head slightly, and said, "I'm okay. ”

I looked at Sophia's straight eyes, hurriedly let go of my clenched arm, and then shifted my eyes to look around, and said in an embarrassed tone, "How can there be a deep pit in this damn pit?" "I looked around and saw that the pit we had fallen into was neither deep nor shallow, less than five meters in diameter, and there was a sloping dirt slope on one side, which was not very steep, and it should not be a problem to climb it with both hands and feet. I patted the dirt off my body and said to Sophia, "You climb up the dirt slope first, and I will protect you from behind." ”

Sophia didn't answer, but walked in the direction behind me, and I turned to look at her a little inexplicably, and saw her crouching down in the middle of the pit, and poking her finger at a black stone on the ground with her very curious look.

When I saw her inexplicable behavior, I said in my heart: What is so beautiful about a broken stone, I really don't understand how this woman's curiosity is stronger than herself. Don't you know that there is a saying that "curiosity kills cats"? I was very puzzled by her actions, and thought that I should hurry up to find the search and rescue team, but I couldn't help but walk up to Sophia curiously and ask her, "What's so beautiful about a broken stone?" ”

Sophia crouched on the ground, and without answering my words, she pulled out the dagger stuck in her ankle, and then used the tip of her knife to remove the dirt around the stone. The black stone on the ground slowly revealed its true face, and a broken ink-colored crockpot appeared in front of him. As soon as I saw that the black stone on the ground turned out to be an antique crockpot, I immediately became interested, took out cotton gloves from my backpack and put them on my hand, then squatted down, dug out the ink-colored crockpot that was still half of my body was still deep in the dirt, and took it in front of my eyes to look at it carefully.

The ink-colored crockpot is obviously very old, and it is not clear which dynasty it is the product of. There is no decoration or pattern on the outside, and it can be seen at a glance that it is not a fine funerary object of the ceramic type, but only an ordinary clay pot used to hold objects in daily life, and there is nothing else in it except clay. This kind of ordinary-looking clay pot does not have appreciation and artistic value like porcelain, I remember that in the Red Star Antique Market, this thing seemed to be worth dozens of dollars for one or two hundred yuan, and it was not worth much. However, I was surprised to see why the everyday items used to hold things appeared in this strange pit, which was really intriguing.

I put the crockpot in front of my nose and smelled it, and there was a strong fishy smell that went straight to my nose, and this fishy smell was not the earthy smell of earth, but an indescribable smell. I took the bronze dagger out of my arms and gently scraped the dirt off the crockpot with the tip of the knife, and as a result, a long, thin line was drawn between the tip of the dagger and the crockpot, and there was slime mixed between the crockpot and the dirt, and a strange fishy smell emanated from the slime.

At this time, Sophia, who was quietly squatting beside me to check the ground, suddenly let out a terrible exclamation, "Oh, MYGod!"

Sophia exclaimed coldly, so frightened that the crockpot in my hand almost fell to the ground, and the frightened heart said: His grandmother's, scared Lao Tzu a lot.
