"This is it, and this staircase leads to the cellar at the end. I don't use it much time, I only use it to store vegetables in winter, and I usually only put some homemade bacon sausages or something in summer. ”

Lin Ya pointed to the dark staircase and explained, it may be the reason why the dust has been sealed for too long, making people feel that the cellar is terrifying, full of stuffy musty smell. The sunlight illuminated only a small area of the doorway, and as the staircase spread down, there was endless cold and darkness.

"And when was the last time you were in the cellar? Is there anything to eat in it now? I asked, slightly blocking my nose with my fingers, the musty smell of yin and tide inhaling into my lungs always made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"It was winter when I was trapped in my room, and the cellar was full of cabbage stored for the winter, but... I don't know if there will be any time here... I really don't know. Lin Ya shrugged, signaling that he wasn't sure either.

However, this may be the only chance we will have to find food, and it seems necessary for us to go down and have a look anyway.

"There's going to be food in there, it's just that it probably won't be too much."

I saw Wolf Fang look inside, as if to confirm the situation, and although I don't know how he could have said such a definite word, I have to say that at least so far, his words have been confirmed to be correct.

He said, "Lin Ya, don't leave, you two go down." Mecca and I meet you at the entrance of the cellar, so that if there is any emergency, we can deal with it. ”

Lin Ya didn't have any objections, but I really didn't want to go into it, after all, the gloomy cellar was always worse than the sun, did it?

However, it was the wolf's tooth who said this, so I had to bite the bullet, for the wolf's tooth... Actually, I'm still a little apprehensive.

After nodding in agreement, Wolf Fang confirmed the details in the cellar to Lin Ya: "How deep is this?" How long does it take to get up from the cellar? ”

"If you come up from the bottom... It will take about 10 minutes. Lin Ya thought for a moment and answered the wolf's tooth question.

Wolf Fang said, "Then, you go down, sort out the food, and come up again, probably it won't take more than 30 minutes." This watch is for you, and if you haven't come up for more than thirty minutes, I'll go down to you. It's a pity that there is nothing to convey information, otherwise you would have known your situation at all times. ”

Listening to the wolf's words, I suddenly remembered what I had picked up at the supermarket: "If you want to pass on the message, is the rope okay?" I picked up several bundles of clotheslines when I was at the supermarket. ”

"Rope? Of course, Mecca, you go to the car and get it. Wolf Fang instructed Mecca to get the rope, and he continued to plan with me and Lin Ya: "Then, if you pull the other side of the rope, and pull it twice, it means asking if you are safe and sound, and the answer is yes, if there is any danger or sudden situation, pull the rope quickly, and I will go down to help you." In this case, we can not limit half an hour, the electronic watch has a fluorescent function, and we will contact you every five minutes. ”

"Okay." Naturally, I have no objection to this approach. As we spoke, Mecca had already returned with the rope.

Wolf Fang took the rope, opened several bundles of clotheslines, and then connected them from end to end: "But what are you going to do with so many clotheslines?" ”

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment when I heard the wolf's question, "When you survive in the wild, don't you always have to take a rope?" ”

"......" Wolf Fang didn't say anything after listening to my words, just looked at me silently, but from his eyes, I probably understood, this thing... You're disgusting me again......

What do you mean! I know cities aren't wild, but aren't they? Besides, how do I know what is useful in his mouth, and it is all taken casually, right?

Holding the rope in his hand, he found two flashlights in the backpack, Lin Ya saw that the candles in the backpack also took a few, plus a lighter, a backpack for each person and two sacks provided by Lin Ya, and we were ready to set off to the cellar.

Lin Ya held a candle in one hand and a flashlight in the other hand to open the way, and I followed behind with a flashlight and a rope tremblingly, and after a while, I couldn't see the light at the entrance of the cave behind me, but the whole person was in the dark. I couldn't help but take two more steps, closer to the Delin Cliff.

"Hehe, are you afraid of the dark?"

Probably sensing my nervousness and uneasiness, Lin Ya chuckled and chatted with me.

Some people say that talking does make me feel better, after all, what is more terrible than darkness is silence in the dark.

"Black? I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of the unknown. I replied to Lin Ya, the unknown is the most frightening thing, "Isn't there anyone in the world who is not afraid of the unknown?" What you already know and what you have mastered is not terrible, what is terrible is the unknown that you don't know what will appear and what will happen. ”

After saying this, I nodded thoughtfully, although I knew that Lin Ya couldn't see it.

Well, this forced pretend, I give myself full marks, and I'm not afraid of being proud.

I heard Lin Ya chuckle, thinking that he was worshipping the famous words I said: "Ha, each of us doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, tomorrow will always be unknown to us, will we be afraid of tomorrow's coming?" ”

Well, it seems that this is not a worship but a mockery......

Hey, hey, hey! Can you still pretend to be happy with it?

"Hey... Lin Ya, by the way, you have a flashlight, why do you have to bring a candle down? ”

When it comes to the ability to change the subject, I also give myself full marks.

"You say this, you haven't been in the cellar, have you? If you don't use the cellar for a long time, you have to bring a candle down. Lin Ya shook the candle in his hand as he spoke, the orange-red flames were dancing, but there was no warmth at all in the dark, but it made people feel weird.

"Why? What are some strange customs? Exorcism or something? I asked strangely, speaking of which, I really haven't been in the cellar yet, and the children who grew up in the city, the cellar is such a thing, let alone entering, this is the first time I've seen it.

Lin Ya said: "Exorcism? Don't leave where you want. ”

I saw Lin Ya look back at me amusedly, but... Well... In this light, that face is not handsome at all, but it makes people feel so frightened...... I turned my head silently, thinking about the ghost stories I had seen before and comforting myself not to be picky, not to be picky, not two back of the head is very good.

Sometimes I feel that being a writer is not good, and I often scare myself if my brain hole is too big.

"It's just that I'm worried that the closure will be too long, and there won't be enough oxygen in the cellar." Lin Ya didn't stop, and he didn't forget to popularize science to me: "The candle needs oxygen for burning, and it is equivalent to a detector, so that we know whether the oxygen in the cellar is sufficient, if it is extinguished, it means that the oxygen is insufficient, and we must return to the ground as soon as possible." ”

"Oh... That's it......" I softly agreed to show that I understood, the rope in my hand came from the feeling of pulling twice, looked at the time, sure enough, we have been walking for five minutes, and after pulling back twice to indicate that there was no accident, I said without words: "Lin Ya, I just wanted to ask on it, although I haven't really seen the cellar, but what I saw on TV, shouldn't the general cellar be without a door or a wooden door?" Why did you get such a sturdy iron door, and it was locked? ”

"The cellar is a very common thing in the countryside, so no one is curious, but in the city there are very few cellars, so there are always some children in the neighborhood who are curious about this place, and they say that it is a haunted house, and they have nothing to run to explore. After all, I don't come here very often, and if any child does come to play, it will be dangerous for something to happen, so I locked this place. It turned out to be a wooden door, but it was moldy later, and there were always mice coming in when the original wooden door was used, so in order to prevent mice, I simply replaced it with an iron door. ”

When Lin Ya finished explaining, we also went down to the bottom of the cellar. Then I glanced around by the light of the flashlight, and there were sausages and bacon hanging on the walls, and there were many vegetables piled up on the ground, and I could vaguely make out cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots.

Lin Ya walked over with a flashlight: "These bacon, sausages and other things should be fine, they are not bad, but these dishes are estimated to be very few." ”

"It's okay, that's already good." I walked in and looked at the ones hanging on the wall, and estimated that there should be no problem for the two of us to move them up at once, "Give me your backpack, I'll pack these meats on my back, you can see the dishes and those that can be eaten, I don't know how to identify them." ”

"Okay, no problem." Lin Ya said as he took the sack out of his backpack, then handed his backpack to me, and went to pick out the food that could still be eaten.

At this time, there was a second pull on the rope, and I pulled it back twice and loaded the meat. It took a whole and a half backpack of sausages and bacon to fill, and with so much food, I don't have to worry too much about starvation for the time being. When I finished loading these, Lin Ya also packed the dishes that I picked out. After tidying up, we walked up the stairs again and headed towards the ground.

The full backpack was carried by Lin Ya, I only carried the half-loaded one, and the half-sack of various vegetables was also held by Lin Ya, he really took care of me and took the initiative to take on most of the work.

After pulling the rope two more times, we finally saw the sunlight coming through the cellar mouth again. Hey, nothing happened, but I still don't want to go into this dark, damp, musty place a second time.

"How? How much food is underneath? ”

As soon as I came out of the cellar, I heard the voice of the wolf's fang asking Lin Ya, was he so confident in his speculation? Are you sure there must be food in the cellar?

"The bacon and sausages are not broken, they are all in the backpack, but I have saved so many dishes, and only this half sack is left." I put down the backpack I was carrying and moved my body, and I saw Lin Ya talking and showing the food in the sack to the wolf fangs.

"How much more? Brother Lin, are you in your backpack? Then it should be enough for us to eat for about a week. Mecca was very happy to see so much food, and looked around the cliff at the food in his hand.

Wolf Fang glanced at the food in the sack and the backpack behind Lin Ya and shook his head: "A week? With only so much food, I'm afraid it can last for three days. ”
