It's the second day on the shelves, thank you to all the friends who subscribed, and especially thank you to Yixiang and the blue tarot cards for the monthly passes, as well as the rewards from Cancer's classmates, as well as the 5888 starting coins rewarded by Nana! ――

Lao Wu saw that the candle was actually caught by something poking out of the root of the tree, so he didn't dare to touch the candle again, but beckoned Hu Dabao and said, "Second brother! You go get the candles, we're leaving. After speaking, he pretended to be fine, bent down and planned to leave, but the corner of his eye slowly moved to the position of the candle with the figure of Hu Dajiao.

Hu Da muttered: "It's all day long!" You've just passed, and you took it, so you have to summon me and treat me as your servant? Why didn't you throw you in the cowshed and lock you up when you were fighting for money a few years ago, I would have reported you if I knew it! Seeing that Lao Wu had bent over and left, he looked at Lao Wu's back and grabbed the candle with one hand.

After walking a few steps, Lao Wu suddenly stopped, pulled out the shovel on his waist and put it in his hand, Professor Guan, who was sitting in front, inadvertently saw Lao Wu's reaction, thinking that he was going to split him, he stepped back with his hands in fright, and shouted softly: "Old Wu, what are you doing?" I've said everything I know, why did you turn your face? Don't, don't have something to say, have something to say! ”

Lao Wu's attention was still left behind Hu Dafang, who was about to get the candle, he just heard Professor Guan himself talking nervously, and knew that he had misunderstood, but now that there was a special situation, he didn't have time to explain anything to him, and he didn't notice that Professor Guan had put his hand into his pocket, and when Professor Guan was nervous and wanted to take out the things in his pocket, he only heard Hu Da's howl. It's particularly harsh in this narrow passage that is not too big.

"Oh my god! What's that? He scared me to death and grabbed my fingers! Hu Dawei hid to the side and looked cautiously.

Xiao Qi was a little nervous by his startle. The cat leaned over to the candle and took a look. Oops, the candle seems to be caught in something. As the candle flame flickered, it suddenly illuminated what was holding the candle over there, what appeared to be a small black paw.

Hu Dazhu asked out loud, "Qi'er? What's that? Yes? What is it? It scares the hell out of me! ”

Lao Wu was also very curious, he didn't dare to move just now, so he asked Hu Dafang to touch it, at this time Xiao Qi seemed to see what it was, Lao Wu hurriedly turned around with a shovel and walked over, Professor Guan took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief and almost took out the things in his pocket.

"What is this?" Hu Dawei frowned and asked Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can't see what this thing is, it looks like a monkey's paw." But it's more like these tree roots around us. As soon as he looked up and saw Lao Wu coming over, he beckoned him and said, "Big brother, look at what this is!" After speaking, he also made room for Lao Wu to pass.

The shovel in Lao Wu's hand was held tightly, and he vaguely felt that something might be wrong, and the thing that grabbed the candle might be a harbinger. Then he reached over with the shovel and gently touched the thing with the tip of the shovel, which felt a little strange, and continued to touch it to make a crisp "bell" sound. It's not a living thing, it's the roots.

It was a false alarm, Lao Wu sighed and put away the shovel, held the candle and broke it hard, leaving the roots. He took the opportunity to quickly use the candle to shine it, and he wanted to see how the roots of the tree were tangled in the candle. A few people around him, except for Professor Guan, came over, and after lowering the candle, they saw the strange root that was still clutching a small piece of the remaining candle. They are surrounded by a particularly large number of tree roots. It all spread out from the dark hole in front of it, and it also carried that strange scent of black copper taro sandalwood.

The roots of the tree that grabbed the candle were very thin. At first glance, it really looks like a small black paw, and there are several fingers. At this time, he held the candle tightly, and it felt like the hand of a little monkey, but the rough bark on the surface showed that it was just the tip of a tree's roots, and he didn't know when he would come out and hold the candle, which scared Lao Wu and Hu Da Bow.

Hu Dawei frowned and said, "Oh no! This thing must be alive, it just scratched me, it's hard, it's scary! ”

Lao Wu knocked the shovel a few more times and said, "Don't talk to me, can the branches you planted move?" Hurry up and pack your things, let's go. After Lao Wu finished speaking, he put away the shovel and ran to Professor Guan without looking back. When Hu Dazhu left, he also stepped on the claw-like roots to relieve the hatred that had just been embarrassing. But he didn't expect that as soon as the front foot left, the small black claws on the back foot slowly retracted into the thick roots, and the small piece of candle was also caught in it, making a clattering and shattering sound.

Professor Guan saw that they were gathered over there and didn't know what to see, and waited for a while before coming back, so he hurriedly asked Lao Wu if something was wrong? Lao Wu didn't react much, and said perfunctorily with an expressionless face that he didn't pay attention when he inserted the candle, and he was caught in the middle of the roots, and they thought that some monster had caught it, and it was not a big deal.

When Professor Guan saw him like this, he didn't ask any more questions, and lowered his head and didn't know what to think. Lao Wu didn't bother to care about him, and when everyone was ready, he planned to go inside.

But at this time, there was a problem, Lao Wu said at the beginning that he would take Professor Guan in, not only because he was afraid that Professor Guan would lie to them again, but also if he went deeper at this time, it was very likely that he would not come back along this passage again, just punch a thief hole and go out, he couldn't throw this terminally ill Professor Guan here and wait for death, right? I can't go with this conscience, but my heart is too soft.

Professor Guan couldn't stand up anymore, so Lao Wu turned his head to look at the few people behind him. Hu Dabian subconsciously went back to hide, but he was named by Lao Wu.

"This second brother, you come over to help, Lao Guan is seriously ill, and he was injured just now, you have to take some responsibility, then you are a little tired to help carry Lao Guan away!"

Hu Dawei frowned and said reluctantly: "Why? Yes? Why, why did I get caught up with that old man? Is he a dad or what? If you can go, you can go by yourself, can't you walk here, can't we just wait for our triumph? What a hassle to take him along! ”

Lao Wu held a candle like a night watchman, and said to Hu Dabao angrily: "I said, where did you come from this? Hurry up and don't grind, we've delayed for too long, and it's too late if you don't go! ”

There was no way Hu Dabao had to give Xiao Qi the package containing dry food, soju, and candles, picked up the sickly Professor Guan on his back, and said a few times: "Let me tell you, if you fall and fall, you can't blame me, you can only blame that old Wu for his bad idea, go away!" With that, he walked deeper into the dark hole ahead. (To be continued......)
