Chapter 44: The Caravan That Suddenly Disappeared
Just as I was dazed and asleep, the long wind shook me awake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć I rubbed my eyes and whispered, "What's the matter, I just slept for a while, and the torches haven't been lit in front of me, and they haven't moved?"
Changfeng said: "No, I also fell asleep just now, but I don't know what the reason is, I suddenly woke up and felt that there was no one in front of me." ā
"Nobody? How could it be? You're asleep, aren't you? It's not a dream anymore. I turned to go back to sleep, but Changfeng flicked my head in his usual way, and then got up and groped forward. I quickly got up and grabbed the torch beside me, groping my way in the darkness and walking forward. As he walked, he poked around with his torch to avoid being hit by something. Luckily, we didn't get too far away, and soon I felt very close to the long wind. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and Changfeng was the only one standing in front of me with a torch.
From the moment the leader picked up the torches, we were doubly cautious for fear of being exposed in plain sight, but we did not expect that the result would be the way it was.
"Did we sleep so deeply that we didn't know when they left?" I asked the long wind.
Changfeng said: "Impossible, I believe in my own ability, they have just left, and the breath of the camel is still there." ā
I asked Changfeng, "Where did you get the fire, isn't the lighter in my backpack?"
Changfeng said: "That's not the point, the point is where did they go?"
I know the magic of Changfeng, and it is difficult for him to light a fire. But, as he said, where the gang had gone, I brought the torch in my hand close to him and lit it, and looked around.
What appeared in front of us was a thick layer of rock and soil not far away, up and down more than ten meters, and it was impossible for them to run on it. Is it below?
I looked down at the ground, the very hard soil, more like solid rock, intact, unbroken, no cracks or anything. There is a road ahead, but the road condition is not as smooth as the road we have been walking, it is very messy, not like the road that is often walked. While I was thinking about it, Changfeng said, "Let's go." "I was already running away, and I immediately followed.
After about five minutes of galloping, we were able to catch up even if the camels were running, but there was still nothing.
The long wind stopped, and I stopped in time, only to realize that we had actually reached the Jedi.
A dozen meters below our feet, it was cut off by a large ravine five or six meters wide. It would have been possible if I had been lucky with the long wind and flown over, but the camel would never have been able to get through. And on the other side of the ravine, there is only a dozen meters away, and then there is the cliff. Changfeng picked up a stone the size of a football on the ground, approached the ravine, and threw the stone down, but no sound was heard. The two of us looked at each other for a moment, then flew back to the place where we had been, and silently observed it again.
At that time, the place where they rested was about forty or fifty square meters, the ground was flat, and the mountains on all sides were very irregular, but they were all integrated without any gaps. The two of us began to search like a carpet, knocking on the rock and dirt around us. I hoped there was a secret door or a secret passage or something, but nothing was found.
When I was done with a second beat, I sat down on the floor in frustration. All the preparation and hard work were in vain, and in the end, I lost it.
The physical strength and spirit that I had just accumulated were suddenly completely destroyed, and I only felt paralyzed. Changfeng was not as discouraged as I was, he leaned the torch against two stones and sat down. In the firelight, I saw a question on his calm face, and his brow furrowed. Suddenly, he looked at the watch on his wrist. I just thought of looking at my phone, and when I found it, it was 19:36.
I said to Changfeng unwillingly: "Brother, even if I sleep well, but you don't sleep so well, I haven't even heard the sound of camels walking, what about twenty-two camels." ā
Changfeng tightened his eyebrows and whispered: "I'm also very entangled in this matter, this kind of thing won't happen to me, but if it happens, what can I do?"
I can't say anything more, Changfeng is not a fairy, and the tiger still has a nap, so he said to Changfeng: "Let's rest for a while, and then go back." There was just one last thing left, and it should last until I got back. ā
Changfeng said: "No, we can't give up, I have a hunch, we can continue." You can rest first, and I'll think about what the problem is. ā
I don't have a premonition for any reason, I can't think about it. Like a deflated ball, it has no strength. Such hopelessness, such exhaustion, lying down, the whole person slackened, and soon fell asleep.
When I woke up, I saw that Changfeng was still sitting there. I sat up and said admiringly, "You're still thinking, I'm really convinced of you, but you still haven't figured it out, right? Don't think about it, rest well, and go home." ā
Changfeng said, "I think I should know what the reason is. But the time hasn't come yet, we'll just wait until tonight, and if I'm not right, we'll go. ā
Ah, I'm going to stay for another day! Changfeng smiled: "Do you know what time it is?"
I looked at him suspiciously, and was about to take out my mobile phone, when Changfeng said, "No need to take your mobile phone, it's three o'clock in the afternoon." ā
I didn't believe it at all, so I took out my phone and came out. When I looked at it, I was shocked, and sure enough, no wonder I woke up feeling empty in my stomach.
I asked weakly, "Can I eat?"
Changfeng smiled very brightly: "Of course you can, come on, let's destroy the last bit of things." ā
I hurriedly opened my backpack and took out what little I had, and gave half of it to Changfeng. While eating, he sighed: "We two big men actually use this poor thing for dinner, we must not let Xiang Chuchu know, otherwise she will not die of laughter." ā
Changfeng couldn't help laughing and changed the subject: "Have you ever thought about where the person from before went?"
Oh my God, I've forgotten him behind his neck. I was embarrassed to ask, "It's so tired and hot, I forgot about him a long time ago, where did you say he went?"
Changfeng shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he found the exit." I regret following them all the time and not looking too closely, like where those weirdos live, and if there is any other exit?"
Hearing Changfeng say this, I also don't know why. Touching the belly that has just packed everything, if you continue to stay here, you will die of heat, thirst, and starvation. If you want to investigate here, the priority is to replenish energy.
Changfeng said: "You are right, but if I think correctly, we don't have to bother with that, and if we think according to my thoughts, even if we go back and replenish things and come back, we may not be able to find an exit." ā
I hurriedly asked Changfeng: "What do you think, let's hear it." ā
Changfeng said: "Okay, it's okay anyway, I'll tell you about it." Yesterday they went out as soon as we lay down, but one thing we overlooked was that they didn't unload. I was also tired, I didn't think about it so much, and I fell asleep quickly, but I don't know if it was a sound or an external force, I suddenly woke up, and now I think about it, there should be an exit, and the exit is on the rock. An external force opened the exit, and they rushed in. The exit closes again. The sound of this came into my dream, and I woke up suddenly. ā
I wondered, "What kind of external force is it? We're 2,000 meters underground." What kind of external force can be transmitted here?
Changfeng said: "There is only one thing, the gravitational pull of the moon. Yesterday was August 15, the full moon. I boldly guessed that it should have been at seven o'clock in the evening, under the influence of the moon's gravity, the stone gate cave was opened. In just ten minutes, the stone door was closed. Today is the sixteenth and the full moon, so ......"
I was amazed, how could a man with such a calm and respectful respect for facts as Changfeng make a bold guess? And the thing he guessed was not something that could be imagined at all, did he heat his brain in this hot environment?
Changfeng immediately gave me a burst of surprise: "Don't think about it, I have a basis, you forgot that when they first arrived at the hotel, they said that they would leave at six o'clock in the morning three days later." It was only because of an unexpected incident that they were only five hours early, so they walked a lot slower along the way, and the first break was also long. ā
I was a little speechless, if this can be barely true, but where did the stone gate come from, how can there be a moon gravity to lure the stone gate away? I asked him: "Your conjecture is a bit unbelievable, I ...... it."
Changfeng bit his lip, it was a decision he made. Finally he said, "Actually, what I said is not a conjecture, I saw it in my sleep." After we fell asleep, we didn't have much of an eye on our opponents because we were too tired, and we relaxed our vigilance because we were confident. Soon, I was also falling into a deep sleep. Suddenly, I saw them stand up, and then on the left, slowly rising the rock. There was a dim light inside, and they skillfully walked in one after the other. Just as they were fully inside, the rock fell slowly without a sound. I was amazed and woke up. Look carefully at them, it's already empty, and that's when you wake up. ā
I was silent. Changfeng is not a person who runs trains with a mouth, and he will not make such nonsensical jokes. And the superpowers shown by Changfeng for a while have already impressed me with him, if what he saw in his dream was actually real, then it was not impossible.
I asked him, "Even if what you dream about is real, how can you think of a word like the gravitational pull of the moon that you can't usually think of?"
