Chapter 45: Trapped Underground
The people in the tunnel were all sitting by the wall, and the cool air in the ground relieved the heat in the hearts and bodies of the brothers, and Lao Wu bandaged the wound on Xiao Qi's shoulder again, and then gritted his teeth and wrapped the strip of cloth around his arm.
The previous wound on Lao Wu's arm has not been healed, after falling into the hole and rolling down, he didn't know when it was torn open, and then he was bitten by the rat-faced man for a long time, the wound was much bigger than before, and the blood stained the entire arm red after a while, so he had to tie the arteries and blood vessels to prevent himself from losing too much blood and dying in this tunnel.
The fourth child wiped off the filth on his body, and saw that Lao Wu was struggling with his arm, so he moved over to help him bandage it, and the two of them were busy and finally stopped the bleeding. Lao Wu lay flat on the damp ash ground, breathing hard with his mouth open, he was covered with sweat in pain, reached out to wipe the sweat on his face and said to himself: "Which way am I hitting a fairy?" You give me a reminder, I'm going to bow down, there are so many people in the grave team, don't keep tossing me, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, are you always opening your eyes? ”
Lao Wu lay on the side and chattered a lot, and the fourth child was not very happy to say after hearing it: "Hey, I said Lao Wu, how are you talking?" It's not just you who are injured these days, but which of the few people in this tunnel doesn't have a color on their bodies? Besides, no one has a mother-in-law, what kind of suffering are you calling there? ”
Lao Wu turned his head to look at a few people around him, and then said to the fourth child: "Yes, I and Xiaoqi are hanging the lottery, but when did your brother and the third brother hang the lottery?" You see that you are sleeping like a dead pig, and if I hadn't pulled you down, you would probably still be wallowing in that stinking corpse oil. ”
The fourth frowned and said, "Don't fart, old Wu!" My brother is not hanging the lottery and hanging in the black now, didn't he fall into evil a while ago? And then let you slap so many ears, and today I was scared a lot, half of my life was broken, and you are still talking cold there, you deserve to suffer. ”
These two people seem to be born to commit crimes, and the fourth child was originally a person who didn't talk much, but once he choked with Lao Wu, he couldn't talk a lot, and if he talked too much, he would have to pull his sleeves and move his arms, and if he couldn't talk about it, he would see it in his hands.
Xiao Qi's shoulders hurt for a while, his two arms couldn't be used at all, his whole body was weak, his lips began to turn white, he began to feel uncomfortable at this time, it was even more uncomfortable to sit and lie down, he could only half-lean against the masonry wall to listen to them, but the more he listened, the more wrong it became, and the two of them choked again, they would have to fight, he wanted to dissuade him, but before he could say anything, he suddenly heard the third cough.
With a heart-rending cough, the third child turned himself over and lay face down on the ground, raised his back and vomited, and then squirted a large pile of black viscous corpse oil from his mouth, splashing everywhere.
After the third child vomited, the whole person woke up, knelt on the ground and drooped his eyelids, looked left and right, and turned his head to see Xiao Qi behind him, the third child was stunned for a moment and then said: "Hey? Why is Qi'er here? Isn't that right? Where is this? ”
Xiao Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Third brother, it's really time for you to wake up, let's fall into this mouse hole now, and wait for the big mouse for dinner." ”
The third child was puzzled when he heard this, so he asked Xiao Qi: "What mouse hole?" I seem to have gone up the mountain with Fude just now, and then it started to rain black on me, what does it taste like in my mouth? "Before the third child finished speaking, he began to click his mouth.
Seeing this, several people shrank their necks, Lao Wu coughed lightly to attract the attention of the two, winked at them, and told them not to talk nonsense, if this is if the third child knows that he has eaten so much corpse oil, it is estimated that he will be able to eat in the next life.
The third child turned around when he heard the voice, and then he saw that there were two other people behind him, but they were all embarrassed, so he asked Lao Wu, "Lao Wu?" Why are you here? Where the hell are we? ”
Lao Wu sat up and picked up the dry tobacco roll on the ground, blew the ash sticky on it, held it in his mouth and said to the third child: "You ask me, who do I ask?" Now my brain is still a pot of paste, I have to smoke a cigarette and slow down, hey, by the way, do you have a fire fold on you? ”
After hearing this, the third child groped his body with his hands, but his whole body was full of fishy and sticky corpse oil, and his hands were all over the place, and the third child couldn't remember what he was on his body, so he raised his hand and put it in front of his nose and smelled it and almost didn't get smoked to death. The third child pinched his nose and took off all the clothes on his body and threw them aside, and then remembered something, crawled over and found a fire fold from his clothes, which was quite clean and did not stick to the corpse oil, and threw it to Lao Wu.
Lao Wu took the fire fold and secretly rubbed off the black handprint on it that had been caught by the third child with his clothes, pulled out the lid and blew a few breaths inside, and suddenly a small flame appeared, Lao Wu hurriedly put the cigarette butt up, lit a dry cigarette and inhaled a few puffs, but the result was too hard to suck too much, and he was choked with a cough, tears and snot spurted out.
The fourth child snatched the dry cigarette roll from his hand and put it to his mouth, took a puff and spit out a faint light cigarette, and said to Xiao Qi with a smile: "Qi'er, you Brother Wu can't smoke the cigarettes that you coax." After speaking, he handed the cigarette to the third child.
There was no sound above his head, except for the third child in the tunnel who kept spitting and muttering, "What is this in your mouth?" "Then there was no sound at all, and it was quiet to death.
Several people sat around and rested for more than an hour, and they all recovered some of their spirits, but their stomachs were full of hunger, and they were all a little hungry.
The third child sat on the side and smoked several dry cigarettes, but the taste in his mouth was still very heavy, like drinking dung soup in the pit, as soon as he thought of the taste in his mouth like dung soup, his stomach began to churn, and the cold in the ground made him even more uncomfortable, and he missed the fireball-like sun above.
Lao Wu raised his head and looked at the exit above his head, and then said, "Let's get out of here quickly, it's not a good place in the tunnel, I guess there may be a mouse face." When the third child heard this, he leaned over with a dirty face and asked Lao Wu what was the mouse face?
Lao Wu glanced at him, smiled and said, "Does your face still hurt?" Then he ignored him and climbed up to the exit above his head and pressed his shoulder against the small door.
But Lao Wu pushed it with all his strength for a long time, and the small door at the top exit did not move at all, as if it was locked from the outside. Seeing this, the fourth child also climbed to Lao Wu's side along the iron crossbars inlaid on the brick wall, and helped him go up to the door together, but no matter how hard the two of them tried, they couldn't push it open at all.
Lao Wu was sweating all over his head at this time, panting and saying to the fourth child: "What's the going on, can you open it just now?" I can't push it even if I'm going to die. ”
Lao Si's sharp eyes saw that the gap on the side of the square door was constantly seeping black corpse oil, he almost understood what was going on, patted Lao Wu's shoulder, signaled to go down first, and then stepped on the iron crossbar to go back to the bottom, Lao Wu saw that there was no way to follow.
When Lao Wu came down and stood still, the fourth brother said to his brothers: "I think there should be a lot of corpses after the black smoke collapsed, and there are so many black mud buried, and it is impossible to push the small door open from below, we have to find the exit from elsewhere." "The fourth child almost told me about the corpse oil just now, but fortunately, the third child was puffing up dry cigarettes one after another, and he didn't listen carefully to what the fourth child said.
The third brother is also completely sober at this time, he should be the most brainy in the team, but sometimes he also follows Hu Da to make mistakes, so the second, third and sixth brothers are usually the most unreliable, but once something happens, the third brother can always come up with a countermeasure, he took a cigarette in his mouth and observed the tunnel.
The tunnel is about two meters high, the top is an arc-shaped support structure stacked with bricks, if you stick to the wall to walk then you have to rub the scalp, the tunnel is not very wide, just enough to be able to pass two people side by side, but it is very straight and narrow, and you can hardly see the head at a glance. Every few meters, there are two relatively low passages on either side of the tunnel, which are very dark without lights, and it is impossible to see where they lead. However, there are also many small doors, all of which are reinforced with iron plates, and they do not even have a keyhole, and they cannot be opened.
Then this is difficult to do, just now Lao Wu and Xiao Qi walked along the tunnel to the pine forest before finally finding that there was an exit on the head, but after opening the third and fourth brothers, they were completely buried by the corpse oil, it is difficult to say whether this is the only exit, but you can only take one step at a time, I hope that the brothers in the grave slope can see the strange appearance on the mountain and then come to rescue them.
Recently, the weather is very hot, the grave slope is a wasteland, the open is not covered by tall trees, the temperature here is very high, it is the hottest at noon, the grave team has been sunburned since they came to move the grave slope, everyone can not see the original color is darker than the other. At this time, the temperature was surprisingly high near noon, and they were almost sunburned on it, and when they got to the tunnel, the cool air under the ground made people very comfortable, but it didn't take long for them to start shivering at all, and the clothes of the third and fourth children were full of corpse oil and couldn't ask for it, so they could only wear pants and walk in this narrow and oppressive tunnel that seemed to have no end, looking for another exit.
Lao Wu has always been very cautious, and he looked back after walking a few steps, which made everyone else nervous.
The third child asked him: "Lao Wu, what are you doing?" Hurry up, won't you? I'm going to freeze to death. ”
Lao Wu was also cold, and he could almost see his exhalation, so he went back to the third child and said, "Do you think, you think you're cold?" I'm just a little vest, it's no different from not wearing it, and there must be more than two mouse faces in this tunnel, and I don't know how many are watching us in the dark! What if you're not careful? ”
The fourth child walked at the end, his attention had been on the electric lamps embedded in the tunnel wall, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Hey, you say, is this lamp burning oil?" ”
As soon as Lao Wu heard this, he smiled and turned back to the fourth child and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Tut-tut, the fourth child, you have this knowledge, this is an electric light, and it burns electricity." ”
The fourth child exhaled a breath and looked at Lao Wu with a wrinkled face and helpless eyes, and then said, "Old Wu? Do you really think I'm a hillbilly? I've been at the docks for so many years, and I haven't seen anything? You burrower and say I don't know? Of course I know it's an electric light, but if you look at this tunnel, to say the least, it's been decades, and no one knows about it near such a big place, and it doesn't look like it's a human being, so where does the electricity for this electric light come from? ”
