Chapter 14 Mouse, it's better to guard against it
The mouse smiled mysteriously at us, "We have inquired about this mountain, and it has no name, but there are many articles in it." With that, the rat ran there. All we saw was him burrowing into the grass and then the whole thing was gone. There was no trace of him on either side of the grass or on the rock wall behind it.
"Is that kid going to ambush us inside?" Lao Tan said.
Peanut seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled again. "It turned out to be in the mountains."
"What? You, you said the steps up the hill were in the rock wall? "I absolutely don't believe in this kind of thing, how high is this mountain? At least there are more than 1,000 meters, and the amount of work to open a step from top to bottom in the mountain is definitely very huge. The main thing is that there is no point in doing this, people at the time could not have imagined it
Before I could think about it, Peanut walked over and burrowed into the grass. I looked at Lao Tan face to face, and the last one followed.
When I got into the grass and saw it, I was dumbfounded.
"I've got a step." Lao Tan said dumbfoundedly.
Behind the grass was a cavern sunk into the mountain, only five or six meters deep. However, on the left side of the pit, there is a step that leads to the pit. The road was narrow enough for one person to pass through, and there were traces of artificial polishing at the top and sides, and there were even many vents on the right side, so that the light and air were very circulating, and although it was within the mountain, it did not need any lighting at all.
"This road is seven or eight hundred meters, although it is a little steeper, but it is definitely better than walking on a mountain road, you carry a backpack, when you are tired, you stand up and lean back, you will definitely not be able to fall."
The voice of the rat was heard in the cavernous steps, and there was a vague echo. I poked my head out and looked up, and saw that the road was at least seventy degrees, and on closer inspection, there was a smooth shallow pit at each end of the steps, which went up the steps. I just feel that the shallow pits on both sides seem to be a bit of a stretch, and I can't figure out what the benefits of this design are.
Peanut also touched the rock in the shallow pit with his hand, and then looked up intently, as if he had some doubts.
At this time, the rat urged us to hurry up. So, we followed the previous order, let the mouse take the lead, Peanut guarded him behind, and Lao Tan and I were behind.
When we first walked up the steps, we were all cautious except for the rats. After walking more than 100 meters, I felt that the road should not be dangerous. As the mouse said, because the steps are in a very narrow hole, you can almost knock your head down if you straighten up, so you only need to lean on both sides when you rest. And the surrounding area is well-lit, which is even more reassuring.
"Eh, old Yuan, look, there are murals here." Lao Tan suddenly dragged me from behind and motioned for me to look overhead.
When I looked up, I immediately saw some mottled murals on the rocks at the top of the cave. The mural went all the way over our heads and spread out to the front, and it didn't look small. The mural mainly depicts people with scythes and hoes in their hands, and they look as if they are chasing something.
It was the first time that Lao Tan and I saw these things with our own eyes, and we were very curious, so we looked up and looked at them while walking up. This sight couldn't help but surprise me and Lao Tan a little, because the people holding farm tools or weapons in this mural stretched for more than ten meters, and my neck was almost stiff when I saw it, but I hadn't seen what they were chasing. Later, I saw that the crowd on the mural was getting smaller and smaller, but then a group of carriages appeared in front of me. The carriages were loaded with a pile of boxes, and behind each carriage stood a man who seemed to be shooting arrows behind him, and at the head of the wagon was a cart drawn by four horses. At a glance, the carriage knew that it was not for ordinary people, but the attendants on both sides of the carriage looked very embarrassed, and some of them even had broken hands and feet, and they were climbing forward.
I didn't understand any of this, but I could tell that it was a mural depicting a scene of escape. The mural ended there, but my gaze was fascinated by a very small place.
In the ornate carriage, the window was slightly opened, and a white hand was pulling on the edge of the window. It wasn't anything strange, but I saw that there seemed to be a pattern tattooed on the back of the white hand.
I stopped, stood on my tiptoes to get a closer look, but it was dark, so I pulled out the flashlight from my waist. With the light of the flashlight, I could see that the back of the hand was tattooed with a very clear line and a dark red spider.
The whole mural gives me a more freehand feeling, each figure is mainly to highlight the movement of the body, the details do not seem to be so exquisite, but the spider on the back of this hand is very delicately painted, which makes people feel a little awkward.
Old Tan asked me what I was thinking, and I told him about the spider and what I had in mind.
Lao Tan laughed after hearing this, "It seems that you really inherited your father's genes, it just so happens that we have all graduated, so you can just take over his class." ”
I'm not in the mood to laugh with him, and I think it's a waste of time to think about it with my knowledge. So he shook his head and continued on his way.
Not long after walking, I suddenly heard a scream from the front. The screams echoed through the narrow hole, deafening, and I was so frightened that I almost fell down the steps.
"It's a mouse." After reacting, I turned to Lao Tan and said.
The narrow hole was not straight, there were many bends along the way, and the rat and peanut had already walked in front of us, and I didn't know what was happening in the road, so Lao Tan and I ran over quickly.
Soon, we saw Peanut half-squatting on the steps, holding a person in his arms, who was a mouse. The boy seemed to be injured, clutching his arms and screaming.
"What's going on?" I stepped forward and asked.
"He suddenly fell down the steps just now, and I don't know what to do." Peanut looked confused.
"My hand, ah, something bit my hand." The rat continued to scream.
Then we saw that blood was bleeding from the arm covered by the mouse.
"Is there a snake here?" Old Tan wondered.
I felt a little tingling in my back. This place is too narrow, and if you encounter a poisonous snake, you will definitely not even have a chance to hide. Thinking about it, I suddenly felt a cool breeze blow on my left cheek. The vent was on the right, and when I turned my head on the left, I immediately patted the peanut.
"There's a hole in there."
Everyone followed our fingers and saw a stone cave that appeared diagonally above us. The cave was small, not much bigger than my head, and it was pitch black, like a pupil, staring at us from above.
"Damn, it's easiest to have snakes in this kind of hole." Lao Tan frowned, and my heart was also cold.
However, Peanut's originally solemn gaze gradually dispersed, and I saw the corners of his mouth suddenly curl slightly, and a sneer flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, as soon as he turned his hands, the mouse in his arms was immediately pushed down on the steps by him, and at the same time, he pressed his knee against the mouse's abdomen, and grabbed his throat with his left hand.
Lao Tan and I were completely stunned, and we didn't know what Ludao Peanut was doing. But soon we found out that in the hands of the mouse, there were three "keys" that peanuts put in the backpack.
"This guy is pretending to be garlic." Old Tan shouted.
It is very obvious that the mouse's injury is acting, and he wants to use this opportunity to get close to Peanut and steal the three "keys".
I said in my heart that this person was really unguardable, but it was also strange, how did Peanut suddenly see the clues?
"Ah, cough, ah, spare my life, cough, three heroes, I, I don't dare anymore." Where is the mouse begging for mercy, now we see that the wound on his arm was scratched by himself. But this kid is really ruthless, and he actually used his fingers to make two holes in his arm.
Peanut was still smiling as before, but in the depths of his pupils, there was a faint hint of murder. I was afraid that he would really strangle the mouse, so I reached forward and grabbed his arm.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him before he gets there." After saying that, Peanut let go of his hand, took the thing in the mouse's hand, and then inserted it into his waist.
"Why did you suddenly react?" I asked.
Peanut looked at the hole above our heads, "This hole should be where this kid crawled out of the ancient tomb in the first place." ”
"What?" I screamed.
