Chapter 320: Trapped in an Iron Cage
The old ghost said, "I only said it was possible, but I didn't say it was certain." But in any case, that slate is a little strange, and everyone must not take it lightly. Having said this, the old ghost raised his head again and asked Wen Qingshan, "I want to ask you, why did you think of pressing the left eyeball of the stone lion?" ”
Wen Qingshan replied: "I carefully observed the stone lion and found that its left eye was a little special, and it seemed to be able to press it, so I tried it." ”
The old ghost nodded and said, "This left eyeball should indeed be a mechanism, because when you pressed it down just now, there was a sound of the mechanism activating. ”
"But other than that sound, why didn't anything happen?" The cheap asked puzzled.
The old ghost said, "I think this must be a chain of locks." ”
"Chain locks?" I was slightly stunned.
The old ghost explained: "The so-called chain lock is a lock that is controlled by several organs, and the lock can only be opened after they are all unlocked. ”
When Wen Qingshan heard this, he immediately said: "There seems to be a mechanism in the mouth of the stone lion, I'll try it again." ”
He was about to step forward, but the old ghost said, "Don't be busy yet, I always feel that the stone slab is a little strange, let's observe it again." ”
Wen Qingshan glanced up at the slate, and said disapprerovitically: "It's okay, I will immediately retreat after pressing the mechanism, even if the slate will really fall, it will never hit me." "He's pretty confident in his reaction speed.
The old ghost didn't want to say anything more, Wen Qingshan approached the stone lion again, and carefully put his hand into the stone lion's slightly open mouth. He fumbled in Shi Shi's mouth for a while, then turned to everyone and said, "There really seems to be a mechanism button in here." ”
I glanced up at the stone slab above his head, and said worriedly, "Boss Wen, you really have to be careful of that slate. ”
Wen Qingshan glanced up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this thing can't hit me." ”
As he spoke, he had already pressed the mechanism in the stone lion's mouth, and immediately there was a "click" sound, I originally thought that Wen Qingshan would immediately retreat after pressing the mechanism, but what I didn't expect was that there was a scream from him, I couldn't help but be shocked, and then fixed my eyes, only to find that Wen Qingshan did not withdraw his hand from the stone lion's mouth, it seemed that he was caught by something.
I didn't care so much, so I rushed forward to help, but at this moment, there was a loud "boom" from above our heads.
The cheap and fat cow shouted loudly almost in unison: "Be careful! ”
I subconsciously looked up, and saw that the stone slab had indeed separated to both sides, revealing a square hole with an area of four or five square meters, and at the same time, a huge iron cage fell straight down from the hole.
Because I was rushing forward, it was difficult to immediately react backwards in a short period of time and retreated, and Wen Qingshan's hand was clamped, and he couldn't move, and in the blink of an eye, Wen Qingshan and I, along with the stone lion, were enclosed in an iron cage. Fortunately, the iron cage was big enough that neither of us was smashed, but we were trapped.
I raised my hand to wipe the cold sweat from my forehead, and glanced at the iron cage that covered the two of us, the railing was not ordinarily thick, it was the thickness of a child's arm, and the gap between the iron railings was only ten centimeters, it was impossible to get out, and it was impossible to force the iron cage open with brute force.
The cheap hurried to the iron cage and asked eagerly, "Brother, are you all right!?" ”
"We're fine!" As soon as I finished speaking, Wen Qingshan beside me snorted lightly, I turned my head to look, only to see him frowning, his expression was a little painful, and his hand was still stuck in the stone lion's mouth.
I hurriedly asked him, "Boss Wen, what's wrong with you?" ”
He opened his mouth and replied: "The stone lion has a mechanism in its mouth, and it stuck my hand out, and I can't pull it out." ”
I hurriedly lowered my head, and then the searchlight took a closer look at the lion's mouth, only to find that Wen Qingshan's hand was stuck by two stone slabs. I cautiously reached in, touched the two slate with my hand, and found that the slate was not too thick, about a centimeter thick, I tried to wrench it hard, but due to the angle, it was not easy to exert force, and the two slate were also clamped very tightly, almost not moving.
Outside the iron cage, the fat man asked anxiously, "Boss, what's wrong with my master?" ”
I turned my head and replied, "Boss Wen's hand was caught by two stone slabs. ”
"Can you pull the slate out of the way, then?" The fat cow asked hurriedly.
I shook my head: "It's clamped too tightly, and the space inside the lion's mouth is so small that I can't use my strength at all." ”
"So what to do?" In Niu Fatzi's mind, Wen Qingshan is now his only relative, and now that Wen Qingshan is in danger, he is naturally anxious.
I was a complete layman in cracking the mechanism, and I was helpless for a while, so I had to ask the experienced old ghost for advice: "Old ghost senior, what do you say to do now?" ”
The old ghost snorted softly, "Hmph! If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you! I just said wait first, but he didn't listen. Now we can't come in, and it's up to you to save him. Tell me, what does the slate that holds his hand look like? ”
I hurriedly said: "It's just two ordinary bluestone slabs, about one centimeter thick, and I don't know why they are clamped so tightly." ”
When the old ghost heard this, he immediately understood, and said, "It must be that a spring is placed in the mechanism, which has formed a great bite force." ”
"Spring?" I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Did there be a spring in the Qin Dynasty?" ”
Without waiting for the old ghost to speak, Wen Qingshan said: "The earliest spring can be traced back to the Warring States Period, and it was made of bronze. "He looked miserable as he spoke, and his wrist was caught in the slate all the time, and I feared that if he delayed it too long, he would cause his entire palm to die because the blood could not circulate.
I was a little anxious, and asked the old ghost, "Old ghost senior, what should I do now?" ”
The old ghost thought for a while and said, "There are only two ways to do this, one is to put up the two stone slabs, and the other is to forcibly destroy the stone slabs. However, if the slate is forcibly destroyed, it may cause secondary damage to his hand, so it is best to hold the two slabs on top of it. ”
"But the pinching force of this stone slab is so strong, how can it withstand it!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Long Jiansheng, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, spoke: "I have a jack here, maybe I can hold up the stone slab, you try!" ”
As he spoke, he opened his backpack, took out a strangely shaped device and handed it into the iron cage, and I hurriedly stepped forward and took it with both hands.
This thing is not light, it weighs four or five pounds, and unlike the usual common jacks, this jack is divided into two parts, and there is a black rubber tube about half a meter in the middle. One part is a cylinder ten centimeters in diameter and about five centimeters thick, and the other part is a rectangular iron box with a long handle on it.
"This is a detachable hydraulic jack, which is especially suitable for use in places with narrow spaces, and is often used for earthquake relief work," Long Jiansheng said. When he had said this, he explained it to me.
He told me that the cylindrical thing was a support column, and the rectangular iron box was a hydraulic press, and as long as the hydraulic press was pressed, the support could produce thousands of kilograms of support. Even a car can hold up.
After listening to Long Jiansheng's explanation, I walked to the stone lion with a jack.
At this time, Wen Qingshan's expression became more and more painful, he clenched his teeth, and it could be seen that he was trying his best to endure it.
"Boss Wen, if you bear with me, I'll stretch the slate open now." I hurriedly stuffed the support column of the jack into the stone lion's mouth, although the space between the two stone slabs that clamped Wen Qingshan's wrist was very narrow, but because the support column was relatively flat, it was just enough to get stuck.
After fixing the support column, I hurriedly pressed the hydraulics.
The two stone slabs were finally propped up, and Wen Qingshan hurriedly pulled his left hand out of the stone lion's mouth. When I looked down, I saw a visible bruise on his left wrist, and the entire palm had turned a dull gray, barely bloody.
I was worried about what was going on with his palm, so I hurriedly said, "Boss Wen, you try it quickly, can your fingers still move?" ”
Wen Qingshan moved his fingers slightly, although he couldn't move freely, but seeing that his fingers hadn't completely lost sensation, I was a little relieved.
He raised his hand and tapped it on his left shoulder a few times, and asked me to dig out a bottle of dark red oily liquid from his backpack, which was his homemade bruising oil, which was effective in treating bruises and blood stasis.
I rubbed the bone-setting oil on Wen Qingshan's wrist and helped him rub it again, and after a while, I looked at his palm again, and it was already a little bloody, and he was finally able to move his wrist.
Wen Qingshan's palm was finally saved, but the two of us were still trapped in the iron cage, and now it is not an easy task to get out of this iron cage.
The iron cage was very dense, I grabbed the iron railing and lifted it up, but it didn't move at all, this iron cage was only afraid of thousands of pounds, even if we worked together, it would never be possible to lift it.
I was thinking about how to get out of this iron cage, and the old ghost stood outside the iron cage, holding the iron railing with both hands, and said with a smile: "Hehe, now I will see how you two get out." ”
Seeing his gloating appearance, I couldn't help but be a little angry, and said: "Old ghost senior, if you don't help find a way, forget it, why are you still talking cool things on the side!" ”
As soon as my voice fell, Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "Hehe, you didn't hear the meaning of the old ghost's predecessor's words, what he meant was that he had already thought of a way to help us get out." ”
