Thank you book friends for voting for today's monthly ticket 130711231959798! ――
Hu Dabao was quite honest then, and he didn't talk much, and walked slowly with Professor Guan on his back, Xiao Qi was afraid that he would be tired and still helped drag behind him, so he walked out of a distance.
Because of the roots of the trees coiled around, they at first thought it was a big tree hole, but after walking some distance, they found a straight downhill path, and after shoveling away the roots of the trees on the ground, there was a flat stone paved step below, all of which were flat and wide stones. Hu Da called this girl's step, because the stone table is very wide, can not be very coherent to step on the next step, so a step has to take two steps, it looks like a girl has to move small steps, called the steps are small girls chirp, the steps are big and easy to pull the egg.
Lao Wu held a candle in one hand in front of him, and a shovel in the other hand cut the roots of the trees covered on the steps, so that the people behind him could step on the steps and not slip and roll down. He didn't react much, just kept beckoning Hu Dabo to be careful and look at the road under his feet.
It's okay for Hu Da to walk straight with a big living person on his back, but the hole is a little short, and he can't stand up straight, so he has to move forward with a slight cat. After carrying Professor Guan on his back, the cat's waist began to become a little difficult to walk, the feet were uneven tree roots, some were just on the surface, without any adhesion, it was easy to slip when stepping on the side, and there were several times when he almost didn't fall on his back, and Xiao Qi broke out in a cold sweat behind him.
When you go downhill like this, you can think of it as a straight-up version. Hu Dawei gasped and said, "Hey, I said, who will carry it for me?" I can't do it. I can't walk anymore! After speaking, he sat directly on the steps, and dropped Professor Guan who was carrying him behind him.
Seeing this, Lao Wu was about to have a seizure. I heard Xiao Qi step forward and say, "Then I'll carry it, I'm still a little strong." ”
After hearing this, Hu Dazhu smiled and patted Xiao Qi's shoulder and said, "Oops! It's still Qi'er who knows that he feels distressed. "Listening to Xiao Qi to help with the back of the professor, Hu Da can't hold his teeth.
"Okay, anyone can carry it, as long as you can get out of here quickly, this is not a good place, if you stay for a long time, you may hallucinate again." Lao Wu lowered his head again and continued to clean the roots on the steps.
As a result, Xiao Qi failed to memorize it in the end, and the big bull who had been silent suddenly stepped forward and took the lead in Xiao Qi's hand to carry Professor Guan. nodded to Lao Wu and hurried down.
Hu Dawei sniffed and said, "Why did you forget the big cow, that guy has strength, how can he use me!" ”
Everyone was gone, and he was still muttering there, but seeing that the candlelight was gone, Hu Dafang also hurried to follow, but when he was about to raise his leg, he found that he couldn't move, and something seemed to grab his trouser leg. Hu Dabian thought that he was letting those tree roots hang on his trouser legs, and then pulled hard, but it was better not to pull it tighter and tighter. There was a huge force that suddenly dragged him down, and there was a pop of the fall.
Lao Wu vaguely heard a strange movement in the place where they had just stayed on the steps, and immediately became nervous as soon as he raised his head. But when I raised the candle and shone it on a few people around me, I realized that there was no one missing.
"Where's the second one?"
Xiao Qi was also stunned when he heard Lao Wu say this. Turning his head to look behind him, he didn't see Hu Dajiao's figure in the black hole, and said nervously: "I don't know." I thought he was following behind, where did the second brother go? ”
Lao Wu was faintly flustered. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he shouted: "It's broken!" Something happened to the second one! After shouting this, he rushed forward with a shovel in a few steps. Xiao Qi and Da Niu also hurriedly turned around and ran up.
Lao Wu held the only light source in his hand, he ran relatively fast, and the amplitude was very large, the candle flame was dragged out horizontally for a long time, and it felt like it had to be extinguished with a little urgency. The candle flame flickered and flickered, and the roots in the cave became more and more weird, just now they were still growing against the wall of the cave, I don't know when it began, the roots above the head have hung down, and some thin branches have also poked out on the side, giving people the most intuitive feeling that this hole seems to be hairy, and the space is getting smaller and smaller, and these roots are slowly closing.
Fortunately, they didn't go far, and they saw Hu Dawei lying on the ground in a few steps. Seeing the light, Hu Dabao slowly raised his head and grinned, "Hey, I said, you can be regarded as turning back." ”
Lao Wu looked at the strange tree roots around him and asked Hu Dabao, "What are you doing?" Hurry up, there's something wrong in this hole, let's get out of here! ”
Hu Dawei cried and said, "Who the hell wants to stay here!" But my leg seems to be caught by the roots, but it hurts me to death, hurry up and help me get my leg out! Seeing that Hu Da's aching face was wrinkled together, it really didn't look like it was pretending, but Lao Wu remembered that he had just broken the roots of the trees on the steps, how could he still clamp his feet?
Thinking so, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Hu Da's left leg, his ankle was tied by a colored root, very similar to the little black claw that grabbed the candle just now.
Lao Wu was puzzled, walked over and slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently touched the tree root that was wrapped around Hu Da's leg, but there was no other movement.
Hu Da was lying on the ground, but his ankles were wrapped too tightly and he couldn't get up at all, he turned his head to look behind him, and saw that Lao Wu was stunned and didn't move, so he shouted: "Hey, I said, hurry up!" I won't be able to have this foot in a while! Cut off the roots of the tree! ”
Lao Wu frowned and asked him, "How did you get it just now?" Did you step into it with one foot, or did you step on the roots of a tree and go in circles? ”
"What? What do you mean? I was standing here just now without moving, and I was about to chase you when I realized that my leg was entangled. Hu Da tried to pull his leg out, but as soon as he used his strength, he felt that the root of the tree in his ankle was tightened again, and he howled in pain.
"Old Wu, what are you doing! Hurry up and help me get that thing out of the way, it hurts me! Hu Dazhu clasped a few tree roots with both hands, gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice.
But Lao Wu didn't react, Xiao Qi really couldn't wait, so he hurriedly bent over and leaned over, and when he saw the roots wrapped around Hu Da's legs, he was about to reach out and pull them away. But before he could stretch out his hand, he was grabbed by Lao Wu.
Xiao Qi looked at Lao Wu suspiciously and said, "What's wrong with you, big brother?" The second brother is dying of pain, hurry up and help him! ”
But before Lao Wu could speak, he heard the big cow carrying Professor Guan on his back say, "Don't touch it, that thing is alive!" ”
As soon as Da Niu's words fell, the tree roots that wrapped around Hu Da's ankles in the candlelight began to squirm slowly, and slowly poked out a small fist-like root from below, stretched out in mid-air, and suddenly the small fist opened, and several slender black finger-like roots were completely opened, revealing a small vertical mouth inside.
