Chapter Twenty-Three: Dead and Dead

Bai Mu took the rope handed by Shi Kai, and simply said "thank you", without more words. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shi Kai didn't respond, he lowered his head and dragged the canoe into the water, while at the other end, Bai Mu had firmly tied one end of the rope to the tree.

Everything was ready, Shi Kai pointed to the canoe and said: "You lie in first, and don't look up when you enter the hole, the space inside is extremely narrow, and there are sharp stones, if you are not careful, you will be scratched." When you come out, pull the rope and make a gesture, and I'll pull the canoe back, and I'll go in again. ”

Shiraki walked to the canoe and looked at the size of the hole, there was really no extra space in comparison, and it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen. If you sneak in, it's easy to get lost, and if you get hurt by a rock, then being isolated inside is tantamount to suicide, and it's really hard to get in without using a canoe.

It's just that...

Bai Mu muttered in his heart, what if after I went in by boat, Shi Kai took back the wooden boat and left me inside. Thinking of this, Bai Mu looked at Shi Kai, only to see that Shi Kai was expressionless, but nodded at Bai Mu and motioned for him to lie down.

Bai Mu approached the wooden boat step by step, there was no way, he must have gone in to investigate at the bottom of the cliff, and the trust problem he and Shi Kai only saw, Bai Mu could only put it down first, although Bai Mu could not confirm whether Shi Kai could put down the previous question, but he completely believed that Shi Kai was a person, and it was impossible to use the means of the next three indiscriminate means to stab a knife in the back. In the end, Shiraki still lay in the canoe.

As Shi Kai lowered the rope little by little, the canoe slowly entered the cave along the current, and in an instant Bai Mu lost his vision, and it was pitch black in front of him.

Bai Mu simply closed his eyes, quietly felt everything around him, only felt the cold invade his skin, and the small space in the cave made Bai Mu feel that the stone wall was pressing his cheeks, and from time to time there were water droplets falling, thinking that it should come from the inverted sharp stone above, Bai Mu didn't dare to move, for fear that the sharp stone would cut his cheek, and he only felt eerie and terrifying.

It seemed that after taking a nap, Bai Mu suddenly felt that the pressure from his face disappeared, and tried to open his eyes slowly, it turned out that he had come out of the cave, Bai Mu dared to sit up, and when he looked back, he was actually far away from the entrance of the cave.

Shiraki jumped from the canoe to the shore, and after a few sharp pulls on the rope, the canoe stopped moving forward and slowly retreated towards the entrance of the cave.

"It seems that Shi Kai has received the message, I'll wait for him here first. Shiraki carefully observed the situation around him.

The bottom of this cliff was much narrower than Shiraki had imagined, and the width was probably only enough for two carriages to sit side by side. It was overgrown with bushes and couldn't go farther. Even the cliffs on both sides are covered with vines and small trees, and when you look up at the sky, it feels like it's dusk when the sun should be on the head, and it is difficult for the light to reach the bottom of the cliff.

Because the mountains and plants on both sides blocked almost all the sunlight, the temperature at the bottom of the cliff was very low, and after only a short stay, the thinly dressed white wood felt a trace of coolness and shivered unconsciously.

After another moment, Shi Kai also took the wooden boat to the bottom of the cliff, and after jumping ashore, he tied the wooden boat to the tree next to it with a rope.

Shi Kai looked at the depths of the bottom of the cliff, "This is also the first time I have come to the bottom of this cliff, but seeing that the bottom of this cliff is narrow, it should not be difficult for us to find Shen Liang's body." ”

Bai Mu nodded, and the two of them slowly searched for the bottom of the cliff left and right.

Stepping on the bushes under his feet, Shi Kai felt wet and soft, and there were lice bites from time to time, which was very uncomfortable. Thinking of such a damp environment, Shen Liang's body was likely to be decomposed, and I don't know what Qin Yan would think when he saw it.

Bai Mu thought that the environment at the bottom of this cliff was harsh, and there should be no beasts, so it was not wrong that Shen Liang's corpse should have fallen here, and he used a branch to stir the grass while thinking about it.

Shen Liang was wearing black clothes when he jumped off the cliff, but it was difficult to see in the faint light at the bottom of the cliff. The two of them leaned against the stone wall, slowly looking inside in the direction of the bottom of the cliff, but there were more weeds inside, and the road became narrower and narrower. The two of them had no choice but to draw their knives to cut off the thorns that stood in their way.

After walking dozens of steps, the two encountered a turn, and along the direction of the turn, a stone wall stood in front of them.

"What, there's no way?" Shi Kai exclaimed.

Shiraki stepped forward to carefully investigate the situation of the stone wall, and saw that the stone wall was connected to the mountains on both sides, and Shiraki speculated: "The bottom of this cliff should be so big, we have come to the end." ”

Shi Kai looked incredulous: "This is impossible, we have carefully explored all the way just now, and we must not let go of a trace of clues, but now we still don't see Shen Liang's body, so there must be a road behind this stone wall." ”

Bai Mu looked up along the stone wall, and saw that the top of the stone wall was not visible at a glance, "You see that this stone wall is connected with the mountain range, and the bottom of this cliff should be so big." ”

Shi Kai was still skeptical, walked to the stone wall and pulled the vines on the stone wall and said, "Impossible, what about Shen Liang's corpse, I want to turn it over and take a look." ”

"No more effort. Bai Mu pointed to the top of the stone wall and said, "You see, the height of this stone wall is almost the same as the mountains on both sides, and we can't climb it at all." ”

Shi Kai took advantage of the situation and dragged down a vine and said, "Could it be that this vine branch hangs Shi Kai?"

Bai Mu also felt strange: "If Shen Liang happens to be caught by the vines, then he will definitely break free, and he will eventually be trapped at the bottom of the cliff, but there is no trace left at the bottom of the cliff." ”

"Will Shen Liang be unable to get out after being hung by the vines, or will he be dead when he is hung by the vines. Shi Kai believed that no matter what, Shen Liang would not be able to survive after jumping off the cliff. ”

"Then let's go back and carefully inspect the mountain walls on both sides, it has been inspected here, and there is no information. Shiraki looked up at the mountain walls on either side and looked back.

In this way, the two of them followed the road again, carefully observing the branches and vines on the mountain walls on both sides.

Although the vines on both sides are dense, the plants only survive near the bottom of the cliff, and the higher the place, there are not many plants living because of the lack of sufficient water.

And although the plants near the bottom of the cliff are dense, due to the lack of sunlight, the branches are not thick, and Bai Mu speculates that Shen Liang, who is close to these branches, may not be able to help falling from the height. It wasn't long before the two of them were back at the entrance of the cave.

"This can't be!" Shi Kai shouted, "We must have missed something, let's go back and find it again!"

Bai Mu secretly lucked himself and jumped up by the stone wall, but the slippery stone wall almost made Bai Mu fall, fortunately Bai Mu quickly grabbed the branch on the stone wall, but unfortunately the soft branch couldn't help the weight of Bai Mu drooped, and Bai Mu staggered to the ground.

"I don't think I need to look anymore. Bai Mu stopped Shi Kai and said, "You see, this branch can't support a person's weight at all, and we have explored it very carefully just now, the bottom of this cliff is so big, it shouldn't miss anything." It is likely that Shen Liang did not die. ”

"How is it possible?" Shi Kai asked, "You watched Shen Liang jump off the cliff, how could you survive such a high cliff?"

Bai Mu remembered the situation when Shen Liang jumped off the cliff, and said: "Although I don't know how he survived, but Shen Liang should not be a simple person, and his light skills are extremely high, he jumped off the cliff and committed suicide without too much struggle that day, and I didn't have any doubts at the time." It's just that now we can't see Shen Liang's body, so we can't conclude that he must be dead. If you think about Qin Yan who cares about him again, will Shen Liang bear to leave Qin Yan alone to seek death?"

Hearing Qin Yan's name, Shi Kai suddenly became irritable: "Impossible! He must be dead, it's just that we didn't find it!" Saying that, Shi Kai took the knife and swung it towards the bushes.

"Calm down, we've been looking very carefully just now, don't try in vain. Bai Mu stopped Shi Kai.

But Shi Kai couldn't listen to Bai Mu's words, and turned his head to look at the river: "By the way, Shen Liang probably drowned when he tried to swim out from here!

Saying that, Shi Kai put down the steel knife and was about to jump into the water to check, but was knocked to the ground by Bai Mu's punch. "Calm down!"

Shi Kai looked at Bai Mu blankly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Bai Mu sighed and pulled up Shi Kai: "I know that you are doing this for Qin Yan, but we have to accept the facts in front of us, Shen Liang is probably not dead." ”

Shen Liang defended: "But I promised Qin Yan that I would recover Shen Liang's body, how could I break my promise?"

Bai Mu let go of Shi Kai's hand, stared at Shi Kai's eyes and asked, "Is it really just because of this?" In fact, you know better than anyone that Qin Yan only has Shen Liang in his heart, and you, although you got Qin Yan's person, you can't win her heart, and only by letting her see Shen Liang's corpse can she die." ”

As if Bai Mu had said something, Shi Kai calmed down and didn't say a word.

Bai Mu looked at Shi Kai meaningfully: "There are things to fight for by yourself, I am doing it, but what about you?"

With that, Shiraki walked to the wooden boat.
