Chapter 223: Memories
When the two yellow-haired people were eaten by insects, we took the opportunity to run out of this sea of insects, and consciously lined up in a row against the cave wall.
The flashlights were thrown out, and although there were lighters on our bodies, we didn't dare to make any light for fear of the countless black bugs.
After walking for a long time against the wall, I asked about a faint smell, and according to my memory from the time I entered the cave, I should have returned to the steps at this moment, but I felt that something was wrong.
"Maruko head, have you a lighter? Let's see where we're going! β
Maruko Tou followed behind and shouted in the dark:
"How dare you use a lighter, you just ran out of the pile of bugs!"
"It's okay, I guess we should go to the steps, and we won't be far from the entrance of the cave when we go up the steps."
Maruko replied and turned on the lighter. The flames lit up the cave and to my surprise was that our location was not at the exit of the steps, it was a bigger cave!!
My heart is tight, and I have taken a fork in the road?
The light was relatively weak, and I could barely see a stinky pool of black water in the distance, and the smell in this hole should have emanated from this pool of water.
The wall rock above the pool is still dripping black droplets of water, and I think the "ticking" sound we heard when we entered the cave just now came from here!
In a trance, I really wanted to see a figure standing next to the waterhole!
The lighter was turned on for too long and burned his hands, and the pill head turned off the lighter with an "oops", and when it was turned on again, the figure by the waterhole was gone.
I pointed to the front and asked the head of the ball in a panic:
"Was there someone over there?"
The head of the pill was taken aback, obviously not noticing, and the little brother who was holding Lao Wu replied when he heard the words:
"There's a person, I think I saw a person just now!"
Since this little brother also saw it, it was not for me to be dazzled, I took the lighter of the ball head over and looked around carefully, and the foul smell of water was still bubbling from the bottom up.
There are countless bones piled up on the edge of the waterhole, and this should be the place where the corpses are hidden!
"Let's be quiet and retreat!" Feeling uneasy, I made a backward gesture and motioned for everyone to get out quickly.
I stared at the waterhole and just took a step back, when I heard a crisp "click" that gave me goosebumps.
Looking down, I stepped on a broken white bone under my feet! The expression of the head of the ball is extremely painful:
"Why is this either a bug or a bone, hurry up!"
I nodded slightly, turned around and was about to run, when I suddenly heard the little brother on the side pointing to the dark place in the cave and shouting:
"That's... There seems to be a human face there! β
"Run!"
I yelled, pulled everyone up and turned around and ran, and then, I heard the sound of countless insects crawling in the distance again, and chased after me again!!
A few of us ran out of the light of the lighter, and after a few steps, the ball stumbled and fell to the ground, I turned around in a panic and was about to pull him, and I was so scared that my hair on my body exploded!
On the wall of the cave, a huge thick shadow was reflected by the glimmer of the fire, which looked like a large python that was still spitting out snake hyacinth!
I've never seen such a thick python when I've grown so big, I don't know if it's because the fire is magnified or the snake itself is so big, I was so scared that my legs were weak and I didn't dare to look in the direction of the shadow body, so I picked up the head of the fallen ball and continued to run back desperately.
Maruko staggered to his feet, and I was shocked to see a layer of big black bugs crawling on the ground not far away!
"Pill head, throw the lighter, quick!"
I glanced at the general direction of the hole, dragged the lighter in his hand and swished into the distance, and quickly pulled him to run towards the entrance of the cave without hesitation.
As soon as the glimmer of the lighter disappeared, everything was messed up!
The sound of insects, the sound of water in the black pool, the inexplicable roar, and all kinds of sounds in the cave were mixed together for a while, which disturbed my headache.
The hand of the head of the ball can't be pulled, as if someone on the other side is also pulling his other hand back!
After a while, I felt desperately that there were already bugs crawling on me, and then, there were more and more bugs on my body, and on my face and neck, I felt blood flowing out, and I felt them bite, and it was a heart-rending pain!
Am I going to die?
Just as I was on the verge of giving up, a hand grabbed me by the shoulder, dragging me in one direction.
There was a "plop" and I felt as if I had been pressed into the water.
............................
When I woke up, I was lying in a small hotel room.
Lao Wu sat shirtless on the edge of my bed and smoked, and when he saw me open his eyes, he hurriedly came over and asked:
"What's wrong?"
I was just about to speak, and I felt a sharp pain in my chest and a violent cough.
"Headache!" I took a deep breath and whispered back.
"It's strange that I choked on a stomach of water, and I don't have a headache!"
"Choking?" I think back to the time I was in the cave, it was pitch black, and I just felt like I was being grabbed by a pair of big hands, and I thought I was choking.
Is it a black pool in a cave? I was about to open my mouth to ask, and suddenly my eyes widened and I reacted.
", Lao Wu, are you well?"
Two puffs of smoke came out of Lao Wu's nostrils, and he replied with a smile:
"That's it!"
I looked him up and down, where did he still have the panic and cramp he had before, and suddenly realized:
"You're pretending again, pretending to be dead last time, you're pretending to be crazy this time?"
Lao Wu laughed louder, cocked Erlang's legs and pressed the cigarette on the sole of his shoe.
"Acting is good, isn't it?"
I was just about to speak loudly, when there was another sharp pain in my chest, Lao Wu beckoned me not to get excited, and said slowly:
"It's dangerous this time, we're almost dead!"
I was about to scold him, but after thinking about it, I asked in a panic:
"Where's the pill head? Just the bald man? β
"Oh, it's good that I can save you! That kid is so strong, I mean I can't pull him for anything! β
He's dead!!
When I heard this, my heart trembled and I sat up with a "bang":
"Maruko head is really dead?"
"Dead!"
Seeing that Lao Wu was sure again and again, my head "buzzed" and went blank.
Although he was trying his best to restrain himself, the picture with the head of the ball appeared frequently in his mind like a movie, and tears could no longer be suppressed, rushing out of his eyelids.
Lao Wu slowly put me down, sighed and comforted helplessly:
"Oh, you're still crying, old man!"
I wiped a handful of tears and asked:
"Where did we come from?"
"In a pool!"
After replying, Lao Wu continued:
"This hole yellow hair led me here once before, and I remembered that this was a pool of living water when I saw bubbles in the water!"
When I heard this, I grabbed Lao Wu's collar and drove him over and scolded:
"Lao Wu, why are you pretending to be crazy when you have seen us in the spicy noodle factory? Why don't you pierce the yellow hair? β
Old Wu glanced at me rather unpleasantly.
"Release, release!" I didn't have much strength in this formation, and he broke free with a little force.
"I'm pretending to be crazy just to get them to take the hole in, I want to confirm something!"
I listened to it even more angrily.
"What the are you going to make sure is so important, putting my brother's life on the line!!"
Lao Wu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Determine that evil one!"
I was dumbfounded and stared at Lao Wu in disbelief for a long time.
"Evil?"
Lao Wu stood up, moved his muscles and bones, turned his neck and said:
"In the past few months since I was arrested, I have endured a lot of hardships and figured out a lot of things! Haven't you been checking the number of car accidents on No. 13 in Tangwazi ten years ago? β
"Yes, it's already over, the city leaders have been shuanggui, and now it's almost time to arrest Old Tang!"
Old Wu smiled bitterly when he heard this, as if my words made him sound very naΓ―ve, and after a while, he stopped smiling and stood at the window looking out, his face full of melancholy.
"I'll tell you about it ten years ago!"
