"Is there anyone outside?!"

Qi Xia listened carefully to the old voice, and felt that it didn't seem to come from the alley, as if it was from a farther away.

But how can this narrow, dozens of meters away from the end of this alley have such a distant sound?

"I hear footsteps!" The voice shouted, "If someone has something to say, please reply...... I'm not a bad person! Is anyone there? ”

Qi Xia looked at the black bead in the center of his eyebrows coldly, so he said softly, "Yes." ”

"Bang".

The black beads shattered as Qi Xia spoke.

He wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but he was a little curious about the scene in the depths of the alley, so he thought for a few seconds and walked forward step by step.

Less than halfway through, there was a crackling sound under my feet, as if I had stepped on something.

Qi Xia cautiously moved his steps, then crouched down and picked up something on the ground to take a look.

It's a thigh bone that's already crispy.

What struck him as strange was that the owner of the bones looked to be dead for a long time, and there were even tiny dirt on them.

"Young man?" The old voice came faintly again, "Come forward, be careful! ”

Qi Xia thought for a while, then looked at the beads above his head, and suddenly had a new idea.

"Be careful of what?" Qi Xia asked.

As soon as the words fell, the black beads above his head flew out, and he didn't know where he flew in the darkness.

"Watch out for the big pit!" The old man replied, "Go further, there is a pit!" Be careful not to fall into the pit! ”

"Pit?"

Qi Xia casually threw the bone fragments in his hand on the ground, and then walked forward tentatively with his feet.

The walls on both sides of the alley were so high that they almost completely obscured the light, and Qi Xia could only keep slowing down while quickly thinking about the other party's motives.

Did this old man trick people in and kill them?

But why did he choose such a hidden alley?

If you hadn't followed the map into the path, it stands to reason that no one would have passed through such a hutong where you couldn't see your fingers.

"Where are you?" Qi Xia asked.

"You go a little further!" The old man said, "Come and help me!" ”

"Help?"

Qi Xia walked another five or six steps, and felt that the stone path under his feet was already covered with sand, and there was a sound of "rustling" when he walked up.

After another three or five steps, the feet of the pathfinder suddenly became empty. He probed left and right with his foot, and found that there was indeed a large pit in the invisible place in front of him, completely across the alley.

If it hadn't been for this old man's reminder, he would have fallen.

"Are you here?" The old man exclaimed again, "Here it is! ”

At this time, Qi Xia heard that the old man's voice was actually coming from the pit.

He slowly crouched down, and then looked down, and saw that he had almost made all mental preparations, but he didn't expect that the scene in the pit was nothing special at all.

An old man with a dusty face was standing in a deep hole more than three meters deep, holding a shovel in his left hand and a kerosene lamp in his right hand, looking up vigorously.

The light of the kerosene lamps was about to disappear, and they could only gather in the pit and not emit it.

"It's a lad, isn't it?" The old man asked, "Can you see me here?" ”

Qi Xia paused after hearing this, and said coldly: "You are here."

"It's a long story...... said the old man, "I'm digging a hole, and now it's too deep to get out...... Can you help me? ”

"Dig ...... pit?"

Qi Xia frowned and looked at the deep pit in front of him, the width was almost more than two meters, and the depth was three or four meters, if it was really dug by this old man, it should have been dug for a long time.

"I can get you out." "But you're going to tell me why you're digging the pit." ”

"I'm afraid you won't ask!!" The old man said happily, "I seem to have found something amazing!" Pull me up, and I'll tell you!" Luckily, someone came before the oil lamp burned out, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to get out! ”

Qi Xia nodded, he really couldn't feel the aura of danger from the other party, so he could only agree to the other party.

This old man looked different from Wei Yang, his consciousness was very clear.

A person who has not gone crazy digging a hole in the gloomy alley, Qi Xia is curious about the other party's motives.

"You put the shovel up." Qi Xia said.

"Huh? Why? ”

"The distance is not enough, I will pull you up with a shovel." Qi Xia said, "Otherwise, how can I save you with my bare hands?" ”

The old man held his shovel and thought for a long time, the shovel in his hand looked like a weapon for his self-preservation, and he couldn't give it up easily, but if he thought about it carefully, there was really no other better way.

"Young man, I'll tell you in advance......" the old man said with a serious face, "I've discovered the 'big secret' of this place!" All you have to do is pull me up and I'll share this secret with you! ”

"The Big Secret ......?" Qi Xia raised his eyebrows, feeling that this trip was right, "Don't worry, if I want to kill you, I can directly fill the pit with soil, and I don't need to be so troublesome." ”

"Uh......" the old man nodded, "that seems to be right...... Wait! ”

I saw that the old man lowered his head, took off his clothes, and then wrapped a ball of things in his clothes, and finally clamped it under his armpit.

After packing, he raised his head and slowly raised the shovel in Qi Xia's direction.

"I'm sorry for you! Lad! ”

Qi Xia took a deep breath, squatted down and held the shovel, and under the joint force of the two, the old man stepped on the edge of the big pit while dragging the shovel.

Although the hole is not deep, the two still put a lot of effort into it.

Although the old man looked very tough, he insisted on using only one hand, causing Qi Xia to use all his strength to stabilize the shovel before pulling the old man, who looked like a hundred pounds at most, out of the hole.

Qi Xia threw the shovel aside and said, "Okay, show your 'big secret'." ”

The old man gasped on the ground for a long time, and then he raised the kerosene lamp to his face and looked at Qi Xia.

"Why are you so unkind young man?" The old man asked.

"I saved you, do I still need to be polite to you?" Qi Xia replied.

"Hey, that's right." The old man mysteriously took out the clothes under his armpits and shook them in front of Qi Xia, "What is breaded here is the 'big secret'!" ”

"Oh?" Qi Xia was expressionless and puzzled, "What is this?" ”

The old man put his clothes on the ground and set aside the kerosene lamp.

At this time, Qi Xia saw that there were actually a lot of broken bones of human corpses nearby, and the one he had just stepped on was only one of them.

What puzzled him even more was that the broken bones looked like they had just been dug up.

The old man carefully opened the cloth bag on the ground, as if he was showing Qi Xia an unborn treasure.

"Young man...... Can you see me here...... You're in luck......"

Qi Xia looked at the contents of the cloth bag through the faint light and found that it was actually a dirty skull.
