Chapter VI

Survive in the pit

The sudden situation was only for a moment, and immediately after, Fang Xin felt that his eyes were dark, and the whole person began to fall. Moreover, the speed of the fall is getting faster and faster, as if falling into a bottomless pit, unfathomable.

Fang Xin's reaction was still very fast, as soon as he sensed that the situation was wrong, he immediately grabbed around. Soon he realized that he had fallen into a deep, deep pit. As for how deep the pit is, he doesn't know much.

Hands clutched wildly on the pit wall, trying to catch something to stabilize his body.

After grabbing for a long time, Fang Xin found that the entire pit wall was actually very slippery, and his hands couldn't grasp anything that could stop his body from falling.

At this time, Fang Xin was in a hurry. He clung desperately to the pit wall. And the soil of the whole pit wall is not only slippery, but also very soft. As soon as I grabbed it, a large handful of dirt was grabbed out, and even my face was splashed with mud.

In this way, under the effect of gravity, Fang Xin slid for two or three seconds, and finally finally caught a hard thing. Judging by the touch and the surrounding environment, it should be the most common Yellowstone on Xiaomao Mountain.

This stone is yellow from the inside out. Moreover, it is particularly hard. In the past, when the family environment was relatively poor, many villagers used this kind of yellow stone to build houses.

Fang Xin had just stabilized his sliding body, and in less than a second, he saw something above his head also falling, accompanied by screams.

By the time Fang Xin reacted, it was too late. I saw that the thing hit itself hard, and then the whole person began to slide again.

Of course, Fang Xin also saw clearly, it was none other than Du Zijuan who bumped into him. Unexpectedly, she also fell down with herself.

In a hurry, Fang Xin quickly adjusted the plan. He slammed into the pit wall with one hand, and grabbed Du Zijuan's hand with the other. However, being taken by Du Zijuan like this, the speed of the fall was faster.

Fang Xin didn't know how deep the pit was, he didn't dare to be careless. The hand clung to the pit wall, hoping to catch something.

In this way, after about three or four meters of sliding again, Fang Xin finally grabbed a piece of yellow stone. This time, the Yellowstone he caught was bigger than the last time. Therefore, it is very difficult to catch. But Fang Xin still clung to it and didn't let go.

It was dark in the whole pit, and there was not a single light on it. Therefore, although Fang Xin knew that Du Zijuan was below, he couldn't even see the slightest shadow.

Fang Xin adjusted his breathing and said to Du Zijuan: "Hold on, Zijuan, you must hold on. We're going to be fine, we're going to be fine."

The voice below is a little trembling and sounds like it's nervous. Du Zijuan said in a trembling voice: "Fang Xin, I'm afraid, I'm so afraid. Are we going to die, die in this pit?"

Fang Xin tried to maintain his balance and said, "Don't talk nonsense, we'll be fine. With me here, I won't let any accidents happen to you."

"But...... But I can't hold on anymore!"

Fang Xin did feel that Du Zijuan's hand was slowly slipping out of his hand. Not only that, but he grabbed Huangshi's hand as if it was stained with grease, and wanted to grasp Huangshi firmly. But no matter how much he gripped it, his hand was still sliding outward little by little.

The strength of the two people is indeed heavy, Fang Xin estimates that if they hold on for another minute or two, the two of them will definitely fall to the bottom of the pit because of their physical exhaustion.

Fang Xin worked hard, holding Du Zijuan's hand tightly, trying to slow down the speed of the slide. He knew that if he didn't work hard, everything would really be over.

He encouraged Du Zijuan, and his voice began to sharpen: "We can't give up, Zijuan, listen, we must not give up. You have to believe in yourself and believe in me. We'll be fine, we'll be fine. Zijuan, listen to me, persistence, persistence is victory. Zijie and Xiaoxue are nearby, and they will find them soon."

However, Fang Xinzhi said that he couldn't hold on anymore. The strength of the fingers is slowly being consumed little by little. It won't be long before he and Du Zijuan fall into endless darkness. Whether it is dead or alive, no one can predict.

But Fang Xin must encourage her and encourage herself. Especially at such times, encouraging her is actually a comfort to herself. You must not be defeated, and you must keep a clear head to deal with the current situation and resolve the current crisis.

However, Du Zijuan's crying voice still drifted into her ears. I saw Du Zijuan say in a crying voice: "No, I really can't hold on. Fang Xin, I don't have the strength."

There was grief in her voice, a fear in it. At the same time, with helplessness and despair.

Fang Xin just wanted to say something more, but he felt his fingers slip. Then the whole arm was light and empty.

Du Zijuan slipped from his hands like this and fell into the infinite darkness. Fang Xin clenched his hand tightly into a fist and made a gee-like sound.

Frustration and remorse, intertwined. He hated himself for not being able to catch Du Zijuan for nothing, and for not being able to save Du Zijuan's life.

However, he also knew that it wouldn't be long before he would fall into the darkness like Du Zijuan. At this moment, he clearly felt that the hand holding Huangshi was falling off from Huangshi little by little.

But the strange thing is that after Du Zijuan fell, she didn't let out a little scream. The whole pit was silent, as if nothing had happened.

Just when Fang Xin felt strange and was hesitating. Du Zijuan's calm voice finally came from below: "Fang Xin, come down, we are already at the end."

Before Fang Xin could react, his fingers slipped, and he finally slipped because he couldn't support it. He didn't even understand what Du Zijuan meant.

Originally, I thought that I would fall like a free fall. Then, he fell heavily at the bottom of the pit and fell into a pile of flesh. But no, it's weird. Fang Xin didn't even fall for a second, and then he felt soft under his feet. He couldn't believe that he had landed.

It turned out that when they were hung above the pit wall. In fact, there is only about one meter left from the bottom of the pit. But because of the darkness all around, I couldn't see anything. They don't know how deep this pit is. In order to survive, Fang Xin could only hold on to the pit wall and not let go.

After making sure that he was safe, Fang Xin let out a long sigh. If he had known that the road had reached the bottom of the pit, he would not have spent so much effort to hold on. I wasted my strength in vain, and now my hands are still sore.

After calming down, the first thing Fang Xin felt was that there was a very strong smell in the pit. And this smell, he couldn't distinguish it for a while.

I think it's the smell of the dung pit, but it's not that strong. It's rotten, and it's not so fishy. All in all, the smell is strange. Fang Xin had never smelled it before, and it was really hard to tell for a while.

The second is the bottom of the pit. The first feeling is that it feels like stepping on a swamp, and there is no sense of being down-to-earth. However, it's not the same as a swamp. Stepping on it, not like stepping in a swamp.

If you're in a swamp, you'll feel like you're in a mess of mud. Moreover, the harder you push, the deeper you sink. Until you are drowned in the swamp, life is worse than death.

But it's different here, even if something like mud doesn't reach the knees of two people. But those things are dry. Or rather, not very wet. It's like, it's like playdough for children, soft and dry.

Moreover, although it is not up to the knee, it does not feel like a swamp sinking deeper and deeper. On the contrary, the two people felt it firmly and stepped on the ground.

"What is this place?" Du Zijuan finally couldn't help it and asked.

"I don't know what to do." As he spoke, Fang Xin began to look for a flashlight. But he searched for a long time, and the flashlight didn't know where he had thrown it. Fang Xin didn't even know when he lost it. He sighed and said, "My flashlight is gone."

And at this time, a little light lit up in the pit. Fang Xin looked back, it turned out that Du Zijuan took out his mobile phone, and the light was sent by the mobile phone screen.

With the help of that faint light, the two men began to observe their surroundings.

The pit is not too big and is irregularly rounded. There are countless grooves of varying thickness on the walls of the pit around it. It looks like it was grabbed by something, a bit like a human being with bare hands, or the claws of some kind of creature. And because the yellow mud of Xiaomao Mountain is a little damp. So, it looks like the grooves are brand new and just generated.

When I looked up, it was pitch black overhead, as black as the bottom of a pot. It's as if you can't see the exit of the pit at a glance.

Fang Xin recalled that, according to his estimates, this pit was at least seven or eight seven deep. Because the yellow mud of the pit wall is damp and soft. Therefore, if he wanted to climb out of this pit with his bare hands, Fang Xin felt that there were very few possibilities.

If you want to get out of this pit, I'm afraid the only way is to wait for rescue.

They are not very far away from Du Zijie. Therefore, Fang Xin felt that there was still a lot of hope for leaving. That is to say, Du Zijie and Xiaoxue should be easy to find them.

Du Zijuan's mood is not very good, especially in this oppressive environment. She kept looking around, looking to the left, to the right, and to the top of her head.

After the last, she said anxiously: "Fang Xin, where and where are we?" The hand holding the phone is trembling slightly. In Du Zijuan's life, she has never encountered such a terrible situation. Nervousness and fear are inevitable. What's more, she's just a girl who hasn't experienced much.

Fang Xin patted her shoulder softly, trying to maintain a calm tone and said, "Don't be afraid, Zijuan. We're still on Xiaomao Mountain, and we're not going anywhere. Your brother and they are nearby, and they will soon find us and come to our rescue."

"I thought it was ...... I thought we were going to fall into eighteen layers of hell. Fang Xin, when will they come?"

Where does Fang Xin know when Du Zijuan and Xiaoxue will be able to find such a place and find this pit. However, he still said to Du Zijuan: "It won't be too long, they will see us fall and will come to save us soon. Now, they might be rushing back to find the rope!"

Actually, Fang Xin wasn't sure if Du Zijie had noticed the two of them. When he said this, he was comforting Du Zijuan, and at the same time, he was comforting himself.

Du Zijuan didn't say anything anymore, she made a move that surprised Fang Xin very much. She actually hugged Fang Xin's hand and hugged it tightly, not wanting to let go.

In this situation, people will always have a fear mentality, and Fang Xin is no exception. So he didn't refuse, he obviously felt that Du Zijuan's whole body was trembling, trembling because of fear.

And just like that, about ten minutes passed. But in Du Zijuan's opinion, the simulation has taken more than ten days. She was anxious and looked up at the dark mouth of the pit. She asked Fang Xin anxiously: "Are they ...... Why hasn't he come yet?"

Fang Xin suddenly thought of a question, Du Zijie and Xiaoxue didn't see them. Even if you come to find it, such a big Xiaomaoshan, it is not easy to find two small people, and it is at night.

So, Fang Xin said to Du Zijuan: "I have a way. Maybe they don't have the capacity to find us both." As he spoke, Fang Xin looked up to the sky and shouted loudly: "We are here, we are here."

The sound drifted down the narrow tunnel, into the distance, into the endless darkness.

After a while, Du Zijuan also joined the shouting. It's just that her voice is too thin and sharp to reach that far.

In this way, the two of them shouted for seven or eight minutes, and they both felt tired of shouting, so they stopped.

Du Zijuan looked at the quiet pit mouth and said, "Them, didn't they hear it!"

"No, they'll hear you. Zijuan, don't worry, it's going to be fine, mine is going to be fine."

Maybe after standing for a long time, Fang Xin felt that his feet were a little numb. He inadvertently moved his body, it didn't matter if he didn't move, as soon as he moved, a foul smell suddenly hit his face. All of a sudden, the whole pit was filled with a foul smell.

Fang Xin didn't understand how this pit could smell so big. He took the mobile phone in Du Zijuan's hand, and only then did he pay attention to their feet.

Indeed, the stench emanates from the soft, plasticine-like stuff beneath your feet. It's hard to describe, like dirt, but not quite.

The soil of Xiaomao Mountain is basically yellow, but here, it is black, like the night sky outside, pitch black.

Fang Xin finally squatted down, stretched out his index finger, and pressed it gently. It's really soft, like sitting on a couch.

However, I pinched out a small spot from it, took it to the tip of my nose and sniffed it, it really stinks. Immediately afterwards, Fang Xin made a move that made Du Zijuan feel particularly surprised. He actually took it to his mouth and tasted it, and then, with a very uncomfortable expression, he immediately spit it out again.

Du Zijuan asked curiously on the side: "You...... What did you find?"

Fang Xin spit out several mouthfuls before he cleaned his mouth. He wiped a handful of saliva that remained at the corner of his mouth and said, "How do I feel, how do I feel like a dung pit here!" It stinks!"

When Du Zijuan heard this, her face changed, and she frowned and said, "Impossible, our village has never dug any dung pits on Xiaomao Mountain. And there is no reason to dig a manure pit here. Fang Xin, don't talk nonsense, it's disgusting."

Indeed, Fang Xin just said it casually. I don't know why, the word dungpit suddenly burst out of my mind. He also knew that the way was wrong, so he didn't dwell on this issue any longer.

The hand holding the phone shook twice.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something very important, he slapped himself on the head. He said to himself, "Damn, how did I forget such an important thing!"

Du Zijuan asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Fang Xin took the mobile phone and raised it in front of Du Zijuan's eyes and said, "We have a mobile phone, we can call your brother and ask him to come and save us!"

"yes, I didn't think of that. If I had thought about it, I wouldn't have stayed in this stinking place for so long. Hurry up, call my brother!"

However, when Fang Xin unlocked the screen of his mobile phone, he saw that the mobile phone had no signal at all. He is rocking left and right. I also changed the direction to different directions, and the result was that there was no signal.

After tossing and turning for almost five minutes, the two sexes had to face reality. In this damn pit, there's really not a single signal.

"How can this be?" Du Zijuan was annoyed, and said with a little cry in her tone, "Fang Xin, are we really going to be trapped here?"

"No, no. Du Zijie found out that the two of us were gone, and he would definitely come to find him. It's not found now, that's because they haven't found it yet. I believe that at most until dawn. When the day dawns, we will find the capacity, and they will definitely not find us. Zijuan, you don't have to worry, there is me. I'm by your side, and I won't let you get into trouble."

Listening to Fang Xin's words, Du Zijuan hummed softly. Then, weakly, she leaned her little head softly on Fang Xin's broad shoulders.

Fang Xin was stunned, he didn't expect Du Zijuan to have such an intimate move. However, after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.

Yes, in such an extremely oppressive atmosphere, it is always a good thing to have someone by your side. What's more, it's Fang Xin, it's a man.

Fang Xin's feet began to go slightly numb because they had been standing in the same position for too long. He moved his feet as far as he could.

The mud-like thing that covered his calves, although it was very soft, it still took a lot of effort for Fang Xin to finally move a little. But he didn't want to, as if something had stabbed him, and there was a tingling sensation in his calf.

Fang Xin took out his mobile phone, he remembered at this time, it turned out that he also had a mobile phone. looked at the screen, and like Du Zijuan's, there was no signal. It's like all the signals have been silenced.

Regardless of that much, Fang Xin took advantage of the faint light of the mobile phone screen to check the bottom of the pit. Du Zijuan also bent down, and when Fang Xin reached out to pick up the unknown layer at the bottom of the pit and wanted to see what was going on, Du Zijuan grabbed Fang Xin's hand and asked in a lost voice, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Being in the dark pit all the time, Fang Xin didn't pay attention to his hands at all. Now that he was reminded by Du Zijuan like this, he was also startled when he saw his hands.

It turned out that all five of his fingers were bloody, and the skin in several places was turned over. The strangest thing is that I didn't feel any pain.

"How did you get it like this?" Du Zijuan said as she searched around her body, trying to find something that could be bandaged. But after looking for a long time, I didn't find anything.

Fang Xin smiled stupidly and said, "A little injury, it's okay." Fang Xin thought of the reason for this scar, it must have been caused when he was slipping, when he was holding Huangshi with one hand in order to stop the slide.

Thinking of this, Fang Xin immediately changed the topic and said, "There seems to be something in there." He gestured to the feet of the two men, "Let's take a look."

"You're okay with your hands, are you?"

"No problem." As he spoke, Fang Xin dug down his calf. After a while, I really touched something hard. What it is, Fang Xin didn't know what it was. He was very decisive and pulled the thing out. In the faint light, Fang Xin couldn't help but be shocked.

Du Zijuan didn't seem to see any clues, she opened her eyes wide in confusion and asked, "What is that?"

Fang Xin swallowed his saliva and said solemnly: "It's a human bone, a part of the thigh bone."

As soon as these words came out, it was as Fang Xin expected. Du Zijuan first screamed, then hid behind Fang Xin tremblingly, closed her eyes tightly, and asked tremblingly, "Here...... How can there be human bones here?"

"I don't know, but I think there should be." Fang Xin's expression was very serious, he really couldn't understand how human bones could appear in this pit.

The fact was just as Fang Xin expected, but it was much beyond Fang Xin's imagination. At the bottom of this inconspicuous pit, being pulled by Fang Xin like this, countless human bones appeared. Almost all over the bottom of the pit, densely packed with a large area.

Fang Xin was also confused, giving him the feeling that this pit was like a small slaughterhouse. And the object of slaughter turned out to be a human being.

Du Zijuan's frightened tears fell one by one, where had she ever seen such a terrifying scene. Just closed his eyes, buried his head on Fang Xin's back, and didn't dare to move. His mouth repeatedly urged: "Fang Xin, I don't want to stay here anymore. I'm leaving, I'm leaving."

Actually, Fang Xin didn't want to leave this damn pit sooner. However, at a height of seven or eight meters, there is nothing to focus on. How can I climb it?

Suddenly, there seemed to be a thought flashing through Fang Xin's mind. He looked at the half of the thigh bone he was holding in his hand and said excitedly, "I have a way."

"What's the solution?" Du Zijuan opened her eyes and asked curiously.

After being pulled by Fang Xin's indiscriminate pickpocketing, the fishy smell of the whole pit became even stronger, and Du Zijuan had no choice but to pinch her nose, not even daring to gasp.

Fang Xin told Du Zijuan with practical actions, only to see him holding half of his thigh and inserting it into the pit wall. Not to mention, it was actually inserted in most of it. Then, Fang Xin tried the firmness. After making sure that it was firm, he took out a number of human bones from the bottom of the pit, based on the first thigh bone, and slowly climbed up to the exit of the pit.

It was only at this time that Du Zijuan finally understood what Fang Xin meant. It turned out that he was trying to climb out of the pit with the help of those bones, similar to rock climbing.

Every time Fang Xin climbed a section, he inserted a human bone into the pit wall. Take this as a support point and climb all the way up.

Although the two of them have never done rock climbing, the height of seven or eight meters is still acceptable for the two of them.

In the process of climbing, Fang Xin has to stabilize himself. At the same time, I also want to help Du Zijuan. Therefore, the whole process, for the other party, is still challenging.

It took more than half an hour, and the two of them finally, with great difficulty, crawled out of the pit at the cost of being covered in mud. At this moment, both of them were exhausted, lying limply beside the cave, gasping for air.

The night is a little cooler. And Fang Xin found that half of the figure had disappeared from Xiaomao Mountain. Not to mention Du Zijie and Xiaoxue, it seems that even that terrible creature is gone.

Fang Xin is a clever person, could it be that all the people have been eaten by monsters? This can't be, how is this possible? Fang Xin never believed that all this would be true.

When Du Zijuan was still lying on the mountain panting, Fang Xin said anxiously: "Hurry up, we have to go down and have a look." And at this time, Du Zijuan also seemed to smell a smell of unease. She followed Fang Xin closely and asked behind him, "What's wrong?"

"I feel something is wrong!" Fang Xin said as he ran down the mountain.

The two of them went down Xiaomao Mountain at the fastest speed, and they went all the way, and they really didn't see anyone again.

When passing by the small pond, Fang Xin noticed that there were ripples on the water surface of the small pond. I don't know what the road is formed because of, it's very strange and special.

Du Zijuan on the side said to Fang Xin: "You wait first, let me wash my face."

Indeed, the two people at this time, up and down, were basically covered with yellow mud. At the same time, there is also a fishy smell coming out.

Fang Xin also felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and followed Du Zijuan and decided to go to the pond to wash it too.

And just when the two of them came to the pond, they saw a man running from a distance. As he ran, he shouted, "Don't go near the pond, get out of here."
