Chapter 7: Escape

There is a feeling of being touched hard in the numbness of the face, as if it has been pinched and dragged back and forth, and sometimes there is a feeling of being slapped. After struggling for a long time and trying to open his eyes, his eyelids slowly opened, and Pippi's big head slowly came into view. Pipsqueak was holding my head with his left and left hands around my neck, and his right hand was pinching my face hard to wake me up, waiting for me with big round eyes, and the joy of seeing me wake up was overflowing, and his voice let out a crisp and shrill laugh like a baby.

Wake up completely, holding back your hands on the ground, twisting your neck to look around. Huh, how can I see the qiē around me without a light source?

I wasn't able to get a closer look at where I was hiding before, but I'm sure I wasn't at the entrance to the tunnel, where I could lie flat with my legs outstretched, whereas I could only sit with my head curled up at the entrance to the tunnel. The right butt was cool, and when I touched it with my hand, the jeans on the outside and the thermal underwear on the inside had been worn out, and I looked back at the long drag marks on the coarse sand behind me, and it turned out that Pippi had dragged me here. Yellow ...... on the walls I turned my head abruptly and realized that something was wrong, it turned out that the mirror images in my eyes were all pale yellow, like a scene under a night vision device, but it was much clearer than that, more like the feeling of color blindness, although I don't know what the scene looks like in the eyes of color blindness, but I can only use this as a metaphor at the moment.

Pipsqueak still had that cute expression and moved his head left and right to look at me in confusion, his eyes blinking and his mouth making a long "uh-huh......" sound, looking like he had been wronged. I hurriedly hugged Pippi and hugged him into my arms, and I began to understand why Lin Feng loved this little guy so much.

No, I must get out of here, get out of here. There was a strong desire to survive in my heart, more precisely, a sense of responsibility. In fact, since I knew that I needed to undergo a combined chest and abdomen surgery, for more than four months, I have a very light view of life and death, and even tried suicide several times. Now maybe it's because I still want to live in my heart, but I feel more that it's because I want to protect this cute little creature now, and maybe I don't want to live up to Lin Feng's trust to me. If it weren't for Lin Feng stuffing me into a secret passage that only allowed one person to pass through at a critical moment, I wouldn't be alive now, looking at Lin Feng's expression at that time, I suddenly felt that the "things" outside that I remembered at this moment were those "Huan Ming that should not be offended" that Lin Feng said before, otherwise Lin Feng would not have that sense of fear of death at that time, yes, Lin Feng's expression at that time I have now summed it up, the fear of death: eyes, demeanor......

I'm in a cold sweat now, and even a two-hundred-year-old Wei would be afraid of the "thing", although I don't know exactly how terrible it is, but judging from Lin Feng's complaint to me and the scene when I was cut by a knife, it was indeed a very terrible thing.

I quickly picked up Pipsqueak, protected his head with my right hand, and stood up bent and bent over, with my head in this dark passage at a height of about one and a half meters at best. I'm in a slightly more spacious place, with a dark passage of the same height but about 70 centimeters wide in front and back, like a place to store things, more than two meters wide and about four meters long. Backwards is the direction that Pippi dragged me over, and the direction of about ten meters was changed to upward, and it is estimated that this is the location of the entrance to the secret passage where I was hiding just now. Forward, there is no end in sight, but that's my only option.

Although my current posture is the only position I can do to walk in this dark passage, it is really too tiring, especially holding Pipsqueak again. As I walked, my mind was trying to find a better position to alleviate the fatigue I was feeling right now, but I couldn't stop until I had a better way, and now I thought that getting out of here early would mean a little more life.

Fifty meters......

100 meters......

I counted my steps, roughly moving forward in steps of about a meter per step.

Eight hundred and thirty-four meters, eight hundred and thirty-five meters, eight hundred and thirty-six meters, I saw the light, I felt that I had walked for more than two hours, and finally at eight hundred and thirty-six meters I turned a bend that was almost one hundred and eighty degrees, and saw that three meters ahead was a ninety degree right angle to the left, and there was a light shining in front of me. The faint light was infinitely magnified in my mind at this time, but I still kept myself steady, because I always believed that the closer you get to the end of success, the more dangerous the journey. I hung Pippi's arms around my neck, let him hold them, and squatted twice to move my stiffened waist and legs.

In front is a shaft, circular, about a meter in diameter. There are U-shaped pedals about 30 centimeters wide that are bent into a two-centimeter-thick iron rod embedded in the wall of the well, and there is one pedal about 30 centimeters from bottom to top. The shaft was about five meters high, and I put Pipsqueak on the ground, turned over and crouched down for Pipsqueak to hold on top of me, and then I climbed to the mouth of the shaft step by step. I didn't rush out at the wellhead, because even if I walked a few hundred meters, it was still in danger now, and I didn't know if there was an ambush outside. I don't even know if the exit has been ended, the wellhead is covered with a cement grating, through the grid I look up, this is a small room, like a well pump room in the field, from the intensity of the sun I feel that it should be noon.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I didn't notice any movement outside, so I was about to push open the concrete grille, but now I couldn't exert my strength with my hands and feet on one side and Pippi on my back. As I was looking around, I noticed a design that I admired, and there were three holes in the wall of the shaft directly behind me, parallel to the height of the top three iron pedals, just enough space for one foot, so that my feet could cross and force up the cement grate. It seems that the people who designed this place at that time also put a lot of thought into it.

Carefully put the raised cement grille aside, leaned over and observed that there was nothing wrong. I whispered to Pipsqueak behind me, "Baby, hurry up, step on my shoulder." ”

I was stunned for a moment, this was the first thing I had said to Pipsqueak in a long time.

Pipsqueak held me in his arms, rubbed his head against the back of my neck, and slowly stepped on me. Pippi, who had stood firm at the edge of the well, quickly grabbed me by the arm and pulled me up, exhausted as I exhausted the last of my strength to come up with Pippi's help. Immediately slumped on the grassy ground of the hut, enjoying the sunlight from the doorless concrete door frame and the window frame behind it.
