Chapter Thirty-Eight: Alone in the Cave
Hu Dabao finally failed to hold Lao Wu, and watched him fall into the depths of the cave, and many of the bricks that leaked out of the hole were also scraped off by Lao Wu when he fell, accompanied by Lao Wu's exclamation, and a bunch of things went to the dark place at the bottom of the cave.
The people above all dragged this beard together, but they couldn't pull him out of the hole, and when they were wrestling, suddenly a light beard was dragged out by a few people, but Lao Wu was gone, and a few people thought it was bad, and Lao Wu fell in on time.
Hu Dafang was in the cave for a long time, and the entrance of the cave was blocked by his thick flesh, there was a lack of oxygen, and after being dragged out by the brothers, he lay on the ground and inhaled heavily, and then said anxiously: "It's over, don't be stunned, hurry up, Lao Wu and his mother fell inside, hurry up and put the rope down to see." ”
Xiao Qi panicked at the moment, lying on the edge of the cave and was about to jump in, but fortunately, the third child was close to him, so he grabbed him and dragged him aside, and then said to him: "Qi'er, are you crazy?" I don't know how deep this hole is, so I jumped in and wanted to die? ”
Xiao Qi said anxiously: "What should I do?" Brother Wu has fallen inside, this is not fatal, I have to hurry down to save him. ”
The third child held Xiao Qi down and said to the others: "Don't stand stupidly, go find a rope to help!" ”
It was only when he said this that the brothers reacted, and the sixth brother hurriedly ran to the flatbed truck, pulled out the rope wrapped around the sack, and then tied it head and tail together, and ran back to the entrance of the cave, and said to the brothers and women present: "Who is going down?" Hurry up. ”
Usually in the grave team, Xiao Qi and Lao Wu have the best relationship, Xiao Qi has been lonely and begging for a living since he was a child, and thanks to Lao Wu let him come to work in the grave team, Lao Wu has not married a daughter-in-law for so many years, naturally he has no children under his knees, he treats Xiao Qi as his own son, usually there are any delicious and fun things for this Xiao Qi to keep, Xiao Qi takes Lao Wu as a benefactor, so Lao Wu has an accident that Xiao Qi is the most anxious.
Xiao Qi broke free from the third child's hand, grabbed one end of the rope and tied it around his waist and said that he would go down by himself.
Lao Wu's life and death at the bottom of the cave are uncertain, and the people above are not too delayed, since Xiao Qi wants to go, let him go down, it just so happens that Xiao Qi's body is the lightest among these strong men in the team, and the size of the cave entrance is more than half a meter, and the others will definitely not be able to turn around when they go down, so they have to tighten the rope and put Xiao Qi down.
In such a closed and cramped environment, if you are not a professional burrower like a tomb robber, it is very likely that if you have a violent sense of fear, you may do something unimaginable, and you may lose your life as a result.
Xiao Qi was tied to a rope and put into the hole, his hands and feet were still supporting the cave wall, the light above his head was still visible at first, and after going down about two meters, the hole on his head became very small, but he could still hear the slogan of the third child commanding others to put the rope.
The further down Xiao Qi became, the more he felt a strange feeling, the stark contrast between the shade in the cave and the heat of the ground, there was still a lot of sweat on his body that had not dried, and after going down to the cave, he was a little shivering from the cold, and there was an indescribable sense of irritability, like being locked in an impermeable box on all sides, which made people feel extremely lost and afraid. Xiao Qi's breathing was a little chaotic, and his feet were also panicked, and his steps kicked up randomly, causing the rope to start shaking sharply, and the third child thought that Xiao Qi had encountered something and quickly stopped, and put the rope on the edge of the hole and shouted Xiao Qi to ask him what was wrong.
Xiao Qi's panic just now made the upper head stop and put the rope, hanging in the hole, remembering that Lao Wu was waiting for himself to save him at the bottom of the cave, and he didn't dare to think about anything anymore, and shouted to the brothers above with his eyes closed: "Mo Shi, continue to release, it's about to come to the end." ”
The role of the eyes in this gloomy environment is not great, at this moment Xiao Qi closed his eyes not only relieved the previous sense of panic, but also slowly adapted to the surrounding darkness and coldness, holding the damp soil on the cave wall, feeling the small stones and some insects in the soil, only to find that the cave wall is not very smooth, there are many tree roots still in the hole and have not been dug up, from time to time Xiao Qi can be blocked.
When he went down to a depth of about four or five meters, Xiao Qi stepped on the hard thing in the cave wall, the shape felt like the bricks that he had seen on his stomach before, but it was much larger than what he saw from above, like the kind of large floor tiles that were paved on the ground, stacked one layer at a time, and three layers in a row, very thick, and there were several pieces in the middle that might have been dug to get rid of them, revealing a gap, Xiao Qi suddenly thought that when Lao Wu fell down just now, he should have been stopped by many rhizomes of transverse plants. Then it was blocked by a few bricks that came out horizontally, and the impact of the fall was reduced by at least seventy percent, and now it looks like it shouldn't fall to death.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qi began to be a little happy, and shouted down, "Can you hear it?" You can hear me reply, and I'll come down and pick you up. ”
Unexpectedly, this shout actually came from the bottom of the dark cave and Xiao Qi's own echo, there seemed to be a large space below, but it didn't get a response from Lao Wu, and it was surprisingly quiet like a bottomless abyss.
Xiao Qi's mind that had just settled down suddenly tensed, he felt as if a big black mouth was about to swallow him in one bite, his feet kicked the exposed stone bricks around him, stopped himself, and then pulled the rope three times as agreed in advance, signaling the brothers above to the end, just keep the rope in this position.
But Xiao Qi didn't go to the end, he even began to wonder if there was really something waiting for him at the end of the hole under his feet, in this narrow and slender hole, he couldn't touch his head and couldn't touch the bottom, a feeling of being trapped here for eternity and eternity arose, and after a while, his whole body began to sweat, his limbs trembled, and the idea of wanting to escape had filled his brain, but he thought that Lao Wu might be very close to him, and he could grab him with his hand, these thoughts made him extremely uncomfortable, The rope on his chest seemed to be about to make it breathless, and he untied the rope tied to his chest as soon as he turned his heart, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, after untying the rope, he felt that his breath was smooth, and his sense of fear was reduced a lot, and he looked at the dark hole under his feet, and slowly lowered his body and climbed down by touching the masonry.
The five brothers at the mouth of the pit are still pulling the rope and looking at the situation below, because there are no lighting tools, they can no longer see Xiao Qi above, Xiao Qi has a fire fold on his body, and he doesn't know if it can work when he gets to the bottom, when the rope starts to go down, the hearts of several people are mentioned in the throat, Hu Da's shoulder is the largest, the thickest and the heaviest, one end of the rope is tied to Xiao Qi in the hole, and the other end is tied to Hu Da's waist, I'm afraid that if the first few people don't hold it and let go, Hu Dafang in the back lay on the ground by himself to ensure that it was like an iron anchor, and even a few people below could be given it.
Hu Da looked at the rope tied around his waist and said to the third child: "Hey, I said the third child, what do you say can be down there?" ”
The third child lay at the entrance of the cave and tried hard to look at the situation inside, but Xiao Qi went deep and had already disappeared into the darkness, and at the moment he was worried about Lao Wu and Xiao Qi when he suddenly heard Hu Da Bao ask him what was below as if he was talking nonsense, and he said angrily: "Your old lady is digging a hole below, and you are not a filial son who will not go down to pick her up." ”
Hu Dazhu was angry when he heard this, and scolded: "Third child, you are a deflated calf, your mother is a big mouse, I just asked you if you have nothing to do and scold me Gaha?" ”
The third child stood up and put his hand on his forehead to block the light, and glanced at the stove-like sun in the sky, sweat flowed down his elbows into his clothes, he first asked his brothers to hold on to the rope and not let go, and then walked to Hu Da and squatted down and said: "Second brother, you are honest as a stone pier and talk less, who is not worried about Lao Wu's situation now?" As long as you haven't babbled here yet, hey, I said, if Lao Wu is dragged out and injured in a while, you will carry Lao Wu out, and you will treat it as if you didn't catch Lao Wu and let him fall in to atone for his sins. ”
Hu Dafang rubbed his hands and said, "Hey, no, what you said is not right, just now I was the first to react and catch Lao Wu, why did you go at that time?" Although I didn't hold on in the end, you can see that my hands are all bad, this is also an injury, much better than those of you who see eyes. Besides, I'm not worried, in case there is a big white mouse down there that takes Xiao Qi away, and the end of the rope is still tied to me, am I not unlucky? It's okay to drag it in, let's fight the big mouse, but if I get stuck in the hole, isn't it worse than dying? ”
Lao San was not happy when he heard this, this Hu Da Arm just didn't have a doorkeeper on his mouth, and he never spoke regardless of the occasion, and he said whatever he thought of. This time, I said that there was a big white mouse below and took Xiao Qi away, wasn't he cursing Lao Wu and them? Besides, this is a grave full of dead people, you have to pay attention to what you say in this place, it's not easy to say good things, if you want to say something taboo like hell, then you have to jump out of something.
"It's broken, the rope is gone."
The third man had just wanted to say something with a gloomy face, but a few people who were pulling the rope shouted.
At this time, even Hu Dafang became nervous, got up from the ground and climbed into the grave and lay on the edge of the cave to look, and then reached out and lifted the rope, empty, he knew that the end below was not tied to Xiao Qi, so he hurriedly shouted to the cave: "Qi'er, if you meet a big mouse, don't be afraid, you throw it on my brother, I will help you clean up that beast." ”
This makes the third child angry, I don't look at when I am still having fun, I look at Hu Da's ass pouting his ass and shouting something by the hole, the third child really can't help it, and he is about to kick him when he raises his foot.
As a result, the third child was just about to lift his feet, and suddenly saw a puff of black smoke rising from the pine forest in the distance, and he was stunned for a moment and then said: "Not good!" The forest is on fire! ”
