Chapter Thirty-Eight: Quicksand
The fat man didn't say anything, nodded and began to climb forward, this tunnel is very narrow, I crawled in it is okay, the fat man moved a little hard, the more forward, the passage is wide, in the end you can basically sit up, will not touch the head, we climbed about dozens of meters, the tunnel will come to the end.
At the end was a wall of loess, which I hammered with my fist, and the back was solid, and there was no road.
The fat man stretched his neck behind me to look, and then said: "It's over, there's no way, what kind of broken tunnel, no head and tail, repair it as an ornament." "This tunnel is naturally not a decoration, I and the fat man stayed in it for a long time, then I felt that the air was turbid, stuffy and difficult, and now there is no road ahead, and the big snake behind me does not know if it has gone, I thought about it, and said to wait for a while, and then go back after a while, maybe the big snake has gone.
The fat man didn't worry about it, what I said was what, nodded, and rested on the stone wall, I touched my pocket, and there was half a pack of cigarettes, so I threw one to the fat man, and smoked it in the stuffy tunnel, the fat man teased: "Smoke addiction is good." "I don't smoke much, only when I'm worried, I smoke a few more, most of the time, I think about the problem with the cigarette, and when I think about it, the smoke is almost burned.
I ignored the fat man, but thought of the scene on the stone pillar, and there was a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart, and that feeling came again, and then when my brain had not yet reacted, my body seemed to be controlled by others, and I did actions that I couldn't even imagine, if the time in the Gada Oasis could be interpreted as a breakthrough gene protection, then what about this time?
Is it because of that heart?
As soon as I thought that thing had grown into my body, I felt nauseous in my stomach, and I felt that my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and internal organs were wrong, and I couldn't help but rub it. Seeing this, the fat man said, "Innocent, is it lice?" Also, we haven't taken a bath for seven or eight days, come, the fat man will fish for you. "I almost didn't get mad at him, at this time, he was still in the mood to joke, fortunately I was used to his unreliable personality, and if I wanted others, I had to be by him.
I pinched my cigarette and said, "It's been more than half an hour, let's go back and have a look." "It's easy to go forward, it's hard to go back, I took advantage of the spaciousness of the place, let the fat man turn his head, go ahead, and then began to climb back again, and when I estimated that I was about to reach the slope where I fell, the fat man suddenly snorted.
I didn't sound right and asked, "What, do you see a beautiful woman?" ”
The fat man was in front of me, kicked me directly on the top of the head, and said, "Innocent, your puberty came suddenly, can you think of something else besides women." "This dead fat man, embarrassed to talk about me, I was about to speak, the fat man said in a deep voice: "It seems to be in trouble." ”
I said, "What, the snake is still outside?" ”
The fat man stretched his neck, there was no ridicule in his voice, and said seriously: "It seems that someone has blocked the exit, the entrance is sealed, and the black pressure is overwhelming." "I'm stunned, being sealed? How can it be?
Let's not mention that there are two earth black pythons outside, but there is no earth black python, the outside of this stone slab is full of sand, and it is not possible to seal it in a moment.
The fat man saw that I was silent, so he said: "I'm not sure if it's sealed, anyway, the entrance is dark, you wait, I'll climb up and take a look." "Because the position is too small, we can't act at the same time, I waited in the same place, the fat man arched his ass and climbed up, his body was too fat, the meat was almost rubbing against the ground, we went into the desert, the clothes were thin, the fat man wore a pair of army green pants, I suddenly thought, the fat man rubbed like this, I don't know if he will rub his dick off the skin.
After I thought about it, I couldn't help but want to pump myself, grandma's, this kind of personality of desertion at a critical moment, who did I learn from?
At the time, the fat man lit the lighter and climbed to the top, because the tunnel is narrow, the lighter light is weak, my eyes are basically black, I can only see the outline of the fat man's body when I look up, when I look up, the light of the lighter suddenly dimmed, I haven't reacted, the top of the head was suddenly kicked, this dead fat man, and kicked addicted, this is trying to rebel or what?
I was just about to start scolding, and someone kicked me again on the top of the head, this time, it was a very urgent kick, one after another, not very hard, and it didn't hurt, but it was extremely fast to slap the top of my head with my foot, and it was obviously wrong.
For a moment, I realized that the fat man was trying to make me step back.
Why didn't he speak?
I knew that there was a change, but at this time the tunnel was narrow, I could not turn around, I could only crawl backwards, and the fat man also fell backwards on his stomach, and when I moved a little slowly, he immediately kicked my head with his foot, and I wanted to slaughter his old stinky feet.
Soon my surroundings gradually widened, and at last, when I could sit up, the fat man lit the lighter, and I looked at his sweaty face, and was about to ask what was going on, when his dusty hands covered my mouth and put the other hand on my mouth, making a silent gesture.
I knew that something was wrong, so I nodded and motioned for the fat man to let go, and the fat man put down his hand, lit the lighter and looked around a few times, then carefully cleared the middle place lightly, and then grabbed another handful of sand and wrote on the ground, he wrote very succinctly: "The entrance to the cave is blocked by snakeskin." I was startled, and I looked at the fat man, and then the fat man nodded, confirming my thoughts.
At this moment, the body of the earth black python was lying across the entrance of the cave, blocking the entrance of the cave tightly. Although I don't know what kind of earth black python is, but I know a kind of earth python, this kind of python often lives in the rocks underground, known as the underground killer, many geologists have suffered from its black hands, but later, after the invention of the biological body temperature detector, people can often find the traces of the earth python first, so as to hunt, so in recent years, the species and number of the earth python has become less and less.
This kind of snake, which Dr. Zhang called the earth black python, can hide at the bottom of the sand, and it should also be a type of earth python. But all snakes like warm places, and snakes not only have inner ears, but are also very sensitive to ground vibrations.
The hole where the fat man and I slid down was enough to be a person's width, and it was completely possible to allow the black python to get in, if I and the fat man moved too much at the moment, it is estimated that the black python would go directly down the hole to get in, and at that time, the two of us could be said to be the turtle in the urn, and there was no way to escape.
I motioned to the fat man with my eyes, is there any way, and the fat man wrote a few words in sand: "Quiet, wait." I nodded, and the fat man extinguished the lighter, and the two of them sat motionless in the dark.
I don't know how long it took, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my nose, as if I was breathing a lot of smoke and dust, and it was very difficult to breathe, at this time, I heard the huge wheezing sound of the fat man in my ears, I was shocked, and suddenly understood that this tunnel is not long, and the only vent is blocked, and now this is a lack of oxygen.
I can't wait any longer, I am more shapely, so I gently patted the fat man on the shoulder, took the lighter in his hand, and began to crawl back, wanting to see if the black python of the earth was gone, who knew that as soon as I climbed to the entrance of the cave, a scarlet tongue suddenly appeared in my sight.
The tongue trembled at the entrance of the cave, as if it was about to poke in the next moment, and the entire entrance of the cave had been blocked by a huge snake head.
It's the female python!
The female python is relatively large, the head is a kind of triangle, at this moment, the first half of its head has reached into the hole, but the second half can not enter, the scarlet thick letter is not right, red eyes in an instant, staring at me tightly.
It was an eerie gaze, and goosebumps rose all over the person who watched it.
The moment I appeared in front of it, its letter suddenly grew another centimeter and licked straight towards my face. Dr. Zhang said that this earth black python is highly poisonous, and it will be tricked if you touch it, and I was licked by it, and I didn't see Lord Yama directly.
I couldn't dodge, and as soon as I let go of my whole hand, I immediately downloaded it again, rolled a few times and slammed it on the ground, making a huge noise.
The lighter was also extinguished, and as soon as I opened my eyes, sand kept falling on my face, and at the same time, there was a grinding sound from above, probably because the female snake was trying to get in, so the sand around me was scared away.
I didn't care about being blinded, I hurriedly touched the lighter that fell, just touched my hand, before it could be ignited, suddenly a large pile of sand smashed down on my head, at this moment, the sound of snakes rubbing was gone, instead, there was a large amount of yellow sand flowing, just a moment, a large amount of yellow sand gathered around my waist.
What's going on?
I hurriedly stepped back some distance, shook the sand on my head, and took a lighter to see, and the sloping hole where we fell in between, the yellow sand was pouring down like flowing water, and it was over, the female snake must have gone, and as soon as it left, the sand outside poured directly down the hole.
At this time, the entrance to the cave was so tightly blocked by the sand that flowed down that I couldn't go any further, and I only stayed for a moment, and the sand was already directly next to my face.
At this moment, I am lying on the ground, the space here is small, I can't sit up, I don't retreat, these flowing yellow sand, can bury me alive in an instant. I couldn't think of anything at the moment and could only go backwards quickly, but the sand flowed so fast that as I retreated, I approached my face and could take a bite of sand with one mouth.
Not long after retreating, the passage became wider, and the speed of the sand began to slow down, at this moment, the fat man had already noticed the movement, crawled and looked forward, I directly kicked on the top of his head, and said, "Hurry up, the quicksand is in." ”
As soon as I opened my mouth, I ate a mouthful of sand, and I almost didn't vomit when it was dry.
As soon as the fat man heard me, he immediately began to retreat, and soon we were at the finish line. Due to the large space here, the quicksand was not filled for a while, but there was no way out here, and the air was getting thinner, and within five minutes, the fat man and I had to be buried alive.
The fat man was sweating profusely, and said: "It's impossible to have no exit,, the fat man overturned the boat in the gutter, and he actually planted it on two snakes, naïve, your crow's mouth is too smart, didn't you say that you want to catch snakes for the fat man to satisfy his hunger?" You're going to catch it. ”
As he spoke, the fat man kept kicking the surrounding loess walls with his feet, expecting to open up some passages, but seeing that the quicksand was getting closer and closer, the surrounding soil walls, except for a few pieces of loess, were not moving at all.
The fat man stomped his foot angrily and said, "Damn, naïve, I said......" I interrupted the fat man violently and said, "Don't talk." ”
Just now when the fat man was stamping his feet, I seemed to hear an echo. After I finished speaking, the fat man was silent, and looked at me with a neurotic expression, thinking that I couldn't stand the stimulation and was delirious.
Then, I reached out and patted the ground, the ground was also uneven after corrosion, but it can be seen that it was once polished very smooth, it should be paved with a stone slab, the strength of the hand is not large, there is no movement on the pat, so I said to the fat man: "I seem to hear an echo just now, you can probe." "This kind of thing, the fat man is better than me, as soon as he hears that there is an exit, he doesn't care about the small space, one hand supports the wall, and the other foot kicks on the ground, I listen attentively, and find that there is indeed an echo, which means that there is indeed an exit underground.
But the echo is muffled and low, indicating that the slab under our feet is thick, what can we do?
