Chapter 50: A Blocked Way Out

After a false alarm, my heart went up and down so hard that I couldn't calm down for a while. And the fat man, who had circled around the ghost gate, was as if nothing had happened, and continued to move forward in a good mood. And the smoke man, who experienced a moment of life and death, also came over to comfort me very plainly: "The result is good." ”。

I know the meaning of the smoke man's words, although we almost all died just now, but it is a blessing in disguise, and it has solved our biggest problem at present.

Tianyu probably blamed herself for her own behavior just now, and looked at me with tears in her eyes, so I had to comfort her softly and said, "What happened just now is human instinct, not your fault." And it's me who was careless first, the responsibility lies with me, don't blame yourself for being sad, just like the cigarette boy said, the result is good, let's go! ”

Tianyu didn't know if it was because he blamed himself too deeply, so he kept his head down and walked silently, as if his tears were still dripping.

I said in my heart: This girl's personality is too difficult to figure out. How do you feel like she has multiple personalities? Ah, this woman of unknown origin can't be a schizophrenic psychopath, right?

The fat man and the cigarette man were some distance away from us, and I thought about coaxing her as much as possible, or the fat man would accuse me of bullying her again in a while. I had to comfort her softly, "Don't be sad." As I said, what happened just now is not bad for you. This is all out of human instinct, and when encountering danger, they will naturally want to grasp the straw that saves their lives, and the fat man is not as weak as the straw. Besides, I was actually to blame just now, if I hadn't suddenly turned around and rushed forward, you wouldn't have been able to" I wasn't done yet. I saw Tianyu suddenly raise his face, and said with a suddenly realized expression: "That's right! If you hadn't suddenly fallen ill just now, I wouldn't have caused my fat brother to fall. Almost killed everyone. It's all your fault, it has nothing to do with me! After speaking, he chased after the fat man with a relaxed expression.

I was dumbfounded again, and my heart said, "This girl is sick!" I kindly comforted her, but she was fine, and after biting me. I ran away with such joy that I felt like a heinous sinner, and my mood felt as if I had hit rock bottom. It's very depressing.

I hurried forward to catch up with Tianyu, and said as I walked, "No, I am kind enough to comfort you, how are you?" I found the fat man walking in front of them. Wu stopped, and it turned out that he had reached the end of the deep pit, the exit of this pit tomb.

However, there is more than one export.

There are two exits to the pit in front of me, and they are not on the same level, one is directly in front of the pit, and it is a dark and deep hole; The other exit is on the far ground above the pit. It is a large open stone gate, and you have to climb up from the deep pit. Walk some distance to reach the stone gate.

The fat man looked back at me and asked, "Which one to go?" ”

I habitually looked at the smoke man, his eagle eyes were fixed on the exit ahead, and then I saw a glimmer of light flash in his pupils, and I saw him immediately open his backpack, take out his rope and dagger, and start to climb on the dirt wall on the left, quickly climbing upwards.

Like an animal, the smoke man is born with a keen sense of danger when it comes.

When the fat man saw that the smoke man had moved, he immediately followed suit, and after the two of them climbed up, he immediately pulled me and Tianyu up. Then the cigarette man quickly put away the rope, said "go" to us, and then walked to the stone gate in front of us without looking back.

I've long been accustomed to this style of the cigarette man, pulling the reluctant fat man forward.

We soon passed through the large open stone door and entered a small stone chamber with no road ahead.

The fat man just wanted to make trouble, and I was also suspicious of how the cigarette boy chose a dead end. As a result, as soon as the smoke man entered the stone room, he turned around and groped around the doorway, as if looking for the mechanism that closed the stone door, but found nothing, and then he began to search in the stone room again.

My doubts intensified, and I thought: The cigarette man can't help but lead us into a dead end, why does he want to close the stone gate and trap us. But he was completely focused on finding the mechanism, and if I asked the doubts in my mind at this time, he would probably also be immersed in his own world, and would turn a deaf ear to my question.

Although the character of the cigarette boy is arrogant, he must have a purpose in doing things, so I have to speculate on my own. Closing the stone gate, in addition to trapping us, also has a function is to block others out, is the purpose of the cigarette boy brother not to trap us, but to protect us? Put it this way: Is there something terrible out there that endangers our lives?

So I immediately walked to the stone gate, looked out, and listened, but I didn't hear anything unusual. The figure of sewing zongzi suddenly flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, thinking: Don't have anything as tricky as it again.

After the smoke man searched the dark stone room, in a very inconspicuous corner of the wall, he found a black snake the size of a sesame mung bean, the black snake that meandered and crawled like a small earthworm, people with bad eyes could not find its existence in the dark, the smoke man was able to find it in such a short time, it is conceivable that when he was highly concentrated on doing things, he had reached the point of complete selflessness.

The mechanism triggered, and one of the walls in the stone chamber flipped inward, and we immediately slipped into it.

Drilling through the overturned stone wall, I immediately grabbed the cigarette man and asked him, "Is there something chasing us from behind?" ”

The cigarette man looked at me, just about to say something, suddenly frowned, and then covered my mouth, I immediately heard a clear sound behind me, that is, from the stone room we had just entered, there were some sounds, from small to loud, and finally like a group of running, the violent vibration sound, startled everyone involuntarily held their breath, and fell backwards in the dark.

The vibrations faded after a while, as if a giant was walking away at a slow pace. We took a deep breath, turned on our flashlights, and began to observe the stone chamber we were in.

The stone chamber is very wide, but there is nothing inside. Strangely, a deep trench was dug around the floor of this stone chamber, but the width of the trench was very narrow, only about an inch wide, but it was bottomless, and there seemed to be liquid flowing slowly in it.

I wanted to see what the liquid in the deep ditch was, why it hadn't dried up for thousands of years, could it be that under this deep pit was an underground river, because it was living water, so it has not dried up so far, and it is still flowing slowly. As a result, as soon as I squatted down, the fat man shouted at me: "Lao Zheng, come and have a look, there is a wall lamp here." ”

So I got up and walked towards the stone wall where the fat man was.

When the fat man saw me coming, he immediately asked me, "Lao Zheng, can you still light up the wall lamp?" Is there any toxic substance in it, and lighting it won't poison us, right? ”

I leaned close to the stone wall and looked closely at the sconces on the wall, and found a thick layer of black-brown ointment inside. It has dried up like cracked earth. So close to the wall lamp, I didn't smell the pungent smell, but in the closed stone room, there must be no toxic gases, so to be on the safe side, I asked the fat man to stick a candle on the wall lamp and light the candle instead of using the wall lamp directly.

The fat man didn't light it rashly when he found the wall lamp, but asked my opinion, worried that it was poisonous, and I couldn't help but think: Has this guy's heart changed? When he lit the candle, I praised him and said, "Comrade Qian Guangrong, I have found that you have made progress recently and become much more cautious, which is worthy of praise." ”

Tianyu heard the fat man's name, and couldn't help but snort out loud, and the fat man said to me very dissatisfied: "Fake Sven, fat man, I didn't sue you, don't mention my big name of fat man, are you a trouser belt without eyes - can't remember (can't tie), or I'll poke a few holes in your body, so that you can increase your memory?" ”

I smiled and said to him, "Aren't I praising you, why are you still angry?" But what are you trying to do with your active search for light sources? ”

The fat man put candles in the sconces on all four walls and said to me, "There is light, and it is easy to do things." After speaking, he sat on the ground with his back against the stone wall to rest.

When I saw that he was sitting motionless on the ground resting, I smiled and asked him, "Didn't you say you wanted to do something?" How do you take a lazy rest? ”

The fat man pulled open his backpack, took out the pancakes wrapped in oiled paper, and while chewing the dried pancakes, he said to me: "What I have to do now is to fill my stomach, and what you have to do is to find a way out, with a clear division of labor, and each doing his duty." ”

I've never seen anyone who can say shameless words so confidently and with peace of mind, I can't help but laugh and tease the fat man and say, "Then it's really convenient for you to light the candle." What if you eat the bread in your nose? I smiled and finished speaking, and found that the smoke man was resting against the wall the day after tomorrow, and it was estimated that he was in the deep pit just now, and the highly tense nerves were very tired, and the task of finding a way out fell on me as a matter of course, so I walked around in the stone room.

This stone chamber is not much different from the others, except for the narrow deep trench in the ground, the only difference is that there are tomb lamps embedded in the walls. There was a thin layer of dust hanging from the copper wall lamp, and I gently blew the dust away, and I couldn't help but sneeze a few times. I groped up and down the wall lamp and found that its lamp base was alive and could be twisted in a clockwise direction, so I held the wall lamp with both hands and turned it around.

As a result, just as I turned the wall lamp, the smoke man, who had been resting behind me with his eyes closed, suddenly jumped up from the ground, pounced on me, and quickly grabbed my hands. (To be continued......)
