After resting for a while, we prepared to leave. Since Jianjian was seriously injured, Seabeard carried him on his back. In terms of physical fitness alone, Seabeard was the best among us.
The group of people walked towards the corridor they came in from. Since there were mechanisms in the corridor, everyone did not dare to take it lightly. Fortunately, Wen Qingshan had marked the floor before. Everyone carefully followed the marks and walked out, for fear that there might be someone walking by.
Wrong move.
We finally reached the cave we came down from without any danger. However, when we took a look, we were dumbfounded. We saw a large ball of rope on the ground, which was the same climbing rope we used when we came down!
I don’t know what happened, but the rope that was tied well would actually break. Without the rope, we would not be able to climb up anyway.
Just when I was feeling puzzled, Wen Qingshan suddenly said in surprise: "No! It must have been the holy envoy of the evil cult who did it!"
Hearing what Wen Qingshan said, I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart. I didn't expect that I was really right. That guy escaped from this dirt hole! Isn't that fat man in danger?
I quickly shouted at the top: "Fat Cow! Fat Cow!"
But there was no response.
I was so anxious, and everyone else didn’t know what to do. At this moment, Jianjian, who was lying on Haibeard’s back, struggled to say: “How about… or, try to call… call Fatty Niu.
"
"The mobile phone signal in the entire Qiping Village is not very good. How can there be a signal underground?" Although I said this, I still took out my mobile phone from my pocket with the intention of giving it a try.
When I opened the flip cover and took a look, it was a miracle that there was actually a signal!
I quickly called Fatty Niu’s cell phone.
After a while, a "beep-beep-" sound came from the other end of the phone, and the call actually got through.
After two rings, Fatty Niu answered the phone: "Boss...Boss..." His voice sounded very labored. I felt nervous and quickly asked: "Fat Niu, what's wrong with you!?"
"I... I can't do it anymore,... Oops..."
Fatty Niu's painful cries came over the phone, and I suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in my chest. "Brother! You must hold on and wait for us to come up!" I was so anxious that tears were about to fall out.
"I...I can't hold it anymore, wait...wait for me..." After Fatty Niu said this, the sound on the other end of the phone went silent.
"Hey! Hey! Fatty Cow!" I shouted several times, but there was no response.
Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked: "What did the soldier say?"
I looked at Wen Qingshan and said in a daze: "He...he said he couldn't hold it any longer and asked...let me wait...and...then...there was no sound..."
"What do you mean by asking you to wait?" Wen Qingshan was a little confused.
"I think he's just..." I didn't dare to continue, I just felt my nose was sore and a tear flowed down my cheek.
Unexpectedly, as soon as those tears reached the bridge of my nose, Fatty Niu’s voice came from the other end of the phone: “Boss…Boss!”
"Are you still alive!?" I quickly wiped the tears from my face.
Fatty Niu laughed naively and said: "Haha, I can't die!"
His voice seemed much more relaxed than before, which surprised me: "Are you okay!?"
Just now I have seen the power of the evil holy messenger. He killed Mr. Hao with one palm. Jianjian was just a little bit close. And Fatty Niu was injured by him. How could he recover so quickly? Is it possible?
Could it be that the guy was seriously injured and his skills were greatly reduced?
I was muttering to myself when Fatty Niu said seriously: "It will be fine if you pull it out!"
I was slightly startled: "Pull it out? What do you mean? Weren't you injured by the holy messenger of the cult?"
"What is the holy messenger of the evil cult?" Fatty Niu was confused when he heard this.
"Wait a minute! Didn't you see a man in black come out of the hole? Then why were you in so much pain just now!?"
Fatty Niu explained the reason: "I was hungry just now. I saw a roasted sweet potato next to the kang. I smelled it and it seemed that it was not bad yet, so I ate it. Unexpectedly, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach after eating.
I've had it seven or eight times, and now my legs are weak."
After listening to what he said, I couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that he just had a stomachache. This guy is just a glutton, and sometimes he seems to be reincarnated by a starving ghost. But this time, fortunately, he had diarrhea. It is estimated that the evil messenger came from the cave.
When he crawled out, he happened to go to the toilet, otherwise, he would definitely be in trouble.
Everyone was relieved to know that Fatty Niu escaped because he squatted in the toilet, but a new problem came again, how should we get up? On the one hand, the rope was untied, and Fatty Niu might be in danger for a while.
It is difficult to find a rope more than 20 meters long. On the other hand, even if we find a rope, Huang Yixian, Jianjian and I are all injured, and there is no way to climb. Moreover, the earth hole is too narrow and long for people to climb from above.
It seems unrealistic to pull it up.
Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment, then turned to me and said: "Shi Yu, tell the soldier, let him go to the Second Master Qi first, and ask the Second Master Qi to bring some people to help." Then he moved towards where we were.
The other end of the corridor took a look and said: "This corridor must lead somewhere, maybe it is the real entrance and exit of this place. Let's go and have a look!"
After saying that, he slowly walked towards the other end of the corridor, followed by others.
We walked about 20 to 30 meters in the winding corridor and reached the end of the corridor. However, as Wen Qingshan expected, not only did we not see an entrance or exit connected to the outside world, there was not even a door.
There was only a blue brick wall, which was completely sealed.
Wen Qingshan said in confusion: "Why is there no entrance or exit?"
Seabeard put Jianqian down and gasped: "Maybe the person who hid the treasure didn't plan to set up an entrance at all!"
"If there are no entrances and exits, then why bother setting up such a corridor?" Wen Qingshan said, walking slowly to the green brick wall in front, and knocked on it with his hand. It seemed that there was nothing special about it.
He was not willing to give in, and knocked on the wall everywhere. Suddenly he seemed to find something, and turned to everyone and said: "There is something strange about this wall!"
"What's weird?" I asked, walking forward quickly.
Wen Qingshan pointed to a piece of wall and said: "It seems to be hollow here, look at it!"
He knocked hard in front of me a few times, making a few "dong dong" sounds, but I didn't hear anything unusual. He knocked on the wall next to me again, and I immediately had a comparison.
There is a "bang bang" knocking sound, and the sound is obviously different.
"Holy crap! It's so hollow!" I suddenly became energetic.
Wen Qingshan knocked on the wall for a while, frowned and said, "The hollow section is about one meter wide. Where is the other side of the wall?"
Haibeard also came over, knocked on it, and asked, "Brother Wen San, do you want to break it open and take a look?"
Wen Qingshan glanced at Haibeard and said, "This wall is made of very hard bluestone bricks. We don't have a hammer on hand, so how can we break it open?"
When I heard the hammer, I was slightly startled. Why had I seen it somewhere? I thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that it was in the cave hall filled with debris! There seemed to be some hoes and hammers.
I quickly said to Wen Qingshan: "There seemed to be a hammer in the cave hall filled with debris just now!"
"Is there any?" Wen Qingshan didn't pay much attention.
I nodded: "I have the impression! But it seems to be rusty. It's hundreds of years old. I don't know if it can still be used."
"I don't care whether it works or not, brother Hai, come back with me and have a look!" Wen Qingshan said, turned around and walked back, Hai Beard hurriedly followed.
The two of them went back to look for the hammer, while Huang Yixian and I sat down against the cave wall with Jianjian.
Jianjian's complexion has obviously improved a lot. It must be Wen Qingshan's Qi Pill that has played a role. The expression on Huang Yixian's face is not as solemn as before. He looked at Jianjian, then at me, and sighed.
In a tone of voice, he said: "Oh, I really shouldn't have brought you two together this time. It's all my fault. I was so obsessed with money that you two almost lost your lives."
I quickly said: "Uncle, how can I blame you? We are the ones who followed Boss Wen."
Jianjian forced a smile and said: "Dad, we are not dead yet! As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good luck in the future, maybe..." Before he could finish his words, he coughed violently.
His lungs were injured by the man in black, which easily caused him to cough.
Huang Yixian quickly raised his hand and gently stroked his back, and said distressedly: "Bitch, please stop talking and take a rest first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the blue brick wall.
I asked in confusion: "What's wrong, uncle?"
Huang Yixian turned to look at me and said in a polar voice: "Stop talking and listen carefully."
I quickly closed my mouth and listened carefully. After a while, I seemed to hear the sound of someone talking. To be more precise, it sounded like the sound of children playing.
I couldn't help but be shocked. This was deep underground, so how could I hear the voice of a child? Moreover, it was obviously not my hallucination, because Huang Yixian also heard it. So what was going on? Could it be a ghost?
!?
When I thought of ghosts, I couldn't help but shudder, and I quickly took out a ghost-expelling charm from my bag. Upon seeing this, Huang Yixian waved his hand and whispered: "Don't be nervous, it's not a ghost!"
"Then... what is that sound..." I asked tremblingly.
Huang Yixian came close to the wall, put his ear against it and listened carefully for a while, then turned to me and said: "Someone is talking..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a "thunk" sound coming from the wall, as if it had been hit by something hard. Then, there was another sound of "crash" water. Although the sound was not loud, we
