Chapter 12: See also the Earthquake
Bishan, unknown cave.
The deeper you go, the sparser the light becomes, and after about fifty paces and nearly a hundred hours, you can't see your fingers, and the glimmer of night light that looks back at the entrance of the cave has disappeared.
And in Lin Qiudao's eyes, everything in the cave is bright, the traces of erosion by flowing water on the walls, and the pitted puddles on the ground, moss is everywhere, and it may slip and fall at any time.
"Be careful, it's slippery here. Lin Qiudao turned his head to look at the group of classmates who followed into the cave behind him and reminded him loudly.
"Hell, Xiao Qiuzi, do you have your own night vision function? It's so dark that you don't even use a flashlight. Chen Jiangwei held a military flashlight in his hand and shook it, shining on Lin Qiudao's face, Lin Qiudao immediately covered it with his hand, and Chen Jiangwei grinned and hit the light elsewhere.
"Stop playing, follow the road. Lin Qiudao withdrew his hand with a headache, Chen Jiangwei shrugged his shoulders and walked quickly to Lin Qiudao to explore the way, according to his size, even if he met a blind bear in front, he could pass a few moves.
"Will there be snakes here...... Lin Qingya, who was surrounded by several boys, winced and looked at the deep or shallow puddle on the ground and muttered, "Why don't we go back...... You can also look at the stars. ”
"What are you afraid of, if there is a snake, catch it to make snake soup, our Dubanchang picnic technology is first-class. Ma Zai, who had Du Yan, said with a smile.
"Then it also depends on whether it is poisonous or not, if it is poisonous, forget it, if it is not toxic, maybe I can add dinner and supper to everyone tonight. Du Yan stood very close to Lin Qingya, intentionally or unintentionally, with a breezy expression on his face, as if he had seen through this cave.
"I don't dare to eat snake ......"
"It's okay, have you ever eaten loaches? It tastes pretty much the same, but the snake's meat is a little chewy......"
Then there was a conversation with or without a match, Lin Qingya was trembling by Du Yan's humor and humor, her chest shook softly, and the brothers around her only dared to look at it with their spare eyes, only Du Yan admired it casually in the dark with a comfortable gaze.
Xia Mengyue in the crowd frowned, as if she couldn't stand such an environment, so she quickened her pace and ran to the front, walking side by side with Lin Qiudao.
"What's wrong. Lin Qiudao looked sideways and asked Xia Meng, who was following up.
Xia Mengyue lifted the backpack behind her back and said as she walked: "They completely ruined the atmosphere of the expedition. ”
"Are you expecting that dark and terrifying, silent atmosphere? Lin Qiudao said.
"Almost, at least now I, a non-athletic person, don't even shed a cold sweat. Xia Mengyue stuck out her tongue and said.
Lin Qiudao shook his head, he didn't understand the current girls too well in his heart, looking forward to the storm when the wind was calm, and when the real fear came, he would timidly pray for the dawn to come.
"You said what should we do if there is a bear sleeping in the cave that is about to hibernate?" asked Xia Mengyue.
"You run first, Chen Jiangwei and I will be behind. Lin Qiudao thought about it and said.
"It's still possible that Chen Jiang can't let go of the blind bear twice, but my Lin Dadao Master, what can you do to save us?" Xia Mengyue walked two steps quickly to Lin Qiudao, and looked at Lin Qiudao with a smile on his face while stepping back with his hands behind his back.
"Probably. Lin Qiudao said.
If he really met the blind bear, Lin Qiudao would probably choose to run away first, and if he had to do so, he would still turn around and work hard, after the accident of that night's aura, his reflexes and nervous coordination might really be able to do something now.
A little distracted for a while, Lin Qiudao shook his head helplessly, when will he think about these Arabian Nights, late autumn has just entered, and it is the foot of the mountain of the tourist holy land, where will the bear blind man come, even if the snake is beaten clean by hunting game.
Xia Mengyue looked at Lin Qiudao's energetic appearance and suddenly became happy, giggling and said: "Haha, just kidding, I've been here before, the deepest part of the cave is a waterhole, many people throw coins into the waterhole to pray for blessings, I also threw coins, and almost fell into the water." ”
The truth of the cave was broken by a word, Lin Qiudao was a little lacking in interest, the things that caused his aura to be restless before coming to Bishan probably would not appear in this kind of crowded tourist attraction, maybe he should go to the mountains to try his luck.
"What, our Lin Dao people really want to find a bear blind man to practice their hands?" Xia Mengyue said happily as she looked at Lin Qiudao's appearance.
Lin Qiudao was about to say something, but at this time, his face suddenly changed, he stopped, and looked around a few times as if he was looking for something.
"Did you hear that?" said Lin Qiudao as he stood still, his ear pressed against the wall.
"What are you doing?" Xia Mengyue was shocked by Lin Qiudao's movements, stopped and almost stumbled and fell.
"Did you hear that?" Lin Qiudao frowned and asked again.
"What do you hear? Lin Qiu said, don't scare me!"
Chen Jiangwei, who was exploring the path in front, was also attracted by the movement behind, and looked back at Lin Qiudao and Xia Mengyue strangely.
Lin Qiudao was lying on the rock wall, and he heard some sounds that ordinary people could not hear, the click of the rock cracking, the sound of the water on the surface of the pool, and the sound of snakes dragging their bodies and writhing in the cave......
This is...... Earthquake?
Lin Qiudao remembered the unannounced earthquake at the class reunion a few days ago, and he looked back at the classmates behind him who had not yet realized the truth of the matter and laughed, his face pale.
They have been more than 100 meters deep into the cave, and there are people who come to explore in front and behind, and if they want to retreat backwards, there will definitely be congestion and stampede.
But now he couldn't help hesitating, so Lin Qiudao turned around and raised his voice and shouted, "Everyone!
The sound continued to echo in the cave, the conversation and laughter behind were suppressed, everyone looked ahead like ghosts, and the lights of several flashlights hit Lin Qiudao's body, and everyone saw his serious and unquestionable look.
Earthquake?
It took five seconds for everyone to sort out what Lin Qiudao said, and then they began to joke and ridicule Lin Qiudao.
"Ah, do you know that Lin Qiudao is scared, don't you dare to continue walking?"
"If you don't dare to take the lead, let me come, you go to the back and join the girls hahaha. ”
Lin Qiudao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but a strange scream suddenly came from behind him, only to see Chen Jiangwei, who was five big and three thick, running back to this side, his face was like a ghost, and the flashlight was in his hand, and the lights were playing indiscriminately, which was enough to see the degree of panic.
"Snakes, snakes, and rats!" Chen Jiangwei's face turned green, and he ran to Lin Qiudao and Xia Mengyue, dragging them to lean against the wall.
"Snake? haha, I didn't expect Chen Jiangwei to be afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants?" Du Yan, who heard Chen Jiangwei's words, laughed loudly, and walked out of the crowd quickly: "Where are the snakes?
As soon as the words fell, a huge rustling sound sounded in the depths of the cave from far to near, and there were faint dense sharp screams, Du Yan walked to the front of the crowd and took a flashlight to shine into the cave, his face turned green.
I saw a large group of snakes, insects, rats and ants lined up in a long black line, and ran out of the cave in a swarm!
After all the students saw that scene clearly, they all screamed and cursed and separated a way, huddled on the walls on both sides, and made way for these snakes, insects, rats and ants.
About ten seconds later, this shocking scene passed, and before everyone could catch their breath, the ground under their feet shook abruptly, and then the earth shook!
Someone in the cave screamed:
"Run! It's an earthquake!"
Lin Qiudao's words came true, the lights danced in the dark cave, the footsteps were messy, mixed with the roar, the cracking of the rock wall, the noise of the crowd, the shouting and scolding, and a huge earthquake came as scheduled!
