There is a saying that fits my feelings right now.
"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you."
I wanted to see through the gap to see what was behind this wooden pile embedded in the stone crevice.
With my eyes wide open, I tried my best to concentrate and stared at it for several minutes.
As a result, nothing could be seen. The flashlight light did shine through a little, but it was quickly swallowed up by the endless darkness.
"How is Yunfeng? What did you see?" Xiaoxuan asked immediately after I came down.
"You can't see anything. If you want to know what's behind, the only way is to destroy this vertical beam." I shook my head.
"Get out first, it's a little breathless here."
We retreated the same way we came and sat around to discuss a solution.
Xiaoxuan sat next to me. She breathed into her hands and said: "There are only three ways at the moment. One is to try to split it with an axe, the other is to dig a cross well to get around it as the head said, and the third is to use fire as the bean sprouts said.
, I personally prefer the bean sprout method, as it cannot withstand the fire attack even on hard wood."
I answered: "We don't have an ax on hand now. Even if we do, the place is so narrow that we can't even stretch our arms. How can we chop? In addition, as I just said, the ground here is full of stone. This kind of stone is not hard, but short."
It is very difficult to break through time with a crutch needle, so I also agree with Dou Sprout Zai's method."
He thought for a while and nodded: "Yunfeng is right. There is heavy fog tonight and the smoke from the fire will not be easily noticed by others. So let's try Yazai's method. If it doesn't work, think of other methods.
"
Dou Yazai was slightly startled, and immediately said: "Holy crap, the sun is out in the west, and the method I proposed was unanimously approved? Don't worry! My method is absolutely efficient! After all, we have broken so many diamond walls, just a mere
How can a broken wooden pile block our northern faction! Let’s go Fengzi quickly! Let’s go collect firewood!”
"Don't worry."
I thought about it and said, "The place is so big, how much firewood can be piled up? Even if it is piled up, I guess it will only be a painless grilling on the surface. If you want to make the fire bigger, it is best to use firewood and gasoline."
"Gasoline? Where are we going to get gas?"
"Go to the boat."
"In this way, the four of us are divided into two teams. You and the leader of the team, Yazai, will pick up some dry firewood nearby. Xiaoxuan and I will go back to the boat and ask the captain for a barrel of gasoline. There is a backup generator on the boat.
There must be some."
Bean sprouts immediately got up: "Okay! Let's do it then! Set a time! Just one hour! If Fengzi and you don't come back after an hour, then I will go to find you, and vice versa."
I nodded.
Dou Sprout's brain is still bright at the critical moment. Whether he uses fire attack or this timing, it is consistent with the current situation.
When I came out of the cave and saw it, I was dumbfounded.
The fog was very heavy when we first arrived on the island, and now it has become even more foggy in the second half of the night, even blocking the moonlight.
Everything as far as the eye can see is completely white, and it is very difficult for people to distinguish the north, south, east, and west in this heavy fog.
So I thought of three ways.
I found a relatively tall tree near the cave, and I asked Xiaoxuan to help me illuminate it. Then I quickly climbed up the tree, turned on the flashlight to the brightest, and fixed it steadily on the intersection of branches.
This is equivalent to having a luminous reference object. It is common sense that I have learned in elementary school geography class. If you want not to get lost, first find a reference object. The best reference object in the wild is the sun. Since there is no sun now, then make a temporary one by yourself.
one.
In addition, I picked up a thin branch. I held one end and let Xiaoxuan hold the other end. I led her along, which would be much safer.
In case of an emergency, I have one last solution, so I don't worry about not being able to come back. If Tian Sanjiu was on the island at this moment, I estimate that he would 100% get lost.
We didn't expect the weather on the island to be so bad before we came. We didn't bring any extra flashlights. Mine was stuck in a tree, so I could only use Xiaoxuan's flashlight to clear the way. So wherever I went, Xiaoxuan had to go.
Turn left, she must also turn left, which requires her to trust me 100%.
After groping for ten minutes in the heavy fog, I asked, "Xiaoxuan, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid as long as you are here. You promised to protect me."
I nodded: "I was a little scared just now, but now I'm not scared anymore, because I suddenly thought of a person, and when I thought of him, I wasn't scared anymore."
"Who are you thinking of?"
"I thought of a friend who claimed to love art. There was nothing in the world that could scare him. I had to learn from him. Maybe the best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on."
"Do you still remember our little daughter, Jihou?"
"What little daughter? Did you hook up with some girl behind my back again?"
I slapped my forehead: "That's wrong. You didn't follow me at that time. I was wondering if my friend was facing fear at this moment."
I subconsciously imagined a picture in my mind.
Jihou's little daughter had a black cloth bag covering her head, her whole body smelled bad, her body was dripping with water, and she was tightly tied to a shelf with iron chains as thick as a child's arms.
Qin Xida held a cigarette in his hand and sat on the chair in front of it, looking at it quietly, staring at it like a piece of human body art. The distance between the two was less than one meter. To outsiders, they might look like lovers.
It’s like playing a bondage game in a secret room.
Although this is a picture I imagined, I imagined it based on my previous conversation with Qin Xida in Shanxi. I can vividly remember what he said at that time and the enthusiasm in his eyes. On the other hand,
The fanaticism in his eyes matched Tian Ge's purpose. These two people were like-minded.
"Yunfeng, are you sure this is the direction? Why do I remember that we didn't go here before we came?"
"That's right, it's this direction. Don't let go of your hand, just follow me."
After walking out of the cave with Xiaoxuan for about half an hour, I vaguely saw a little "bright light" in the heavy fog.
That should be a passenger ship.
So I quickened my pace and headed in that direction.
The light was getting closer and closer, and my steps unconsciously became faster and faster, because I wanted to get on the boat quickly and get gasoline.
Suddenly, I felt that the branches in my hands were much "lighter".
Turn back slowly.
I suddenly saw that Xiaoxuan had long hair, her head was facing me backwards, and she was actually walking backwards.
"ah!"
I was so frightened that I let go of my hand and stumbled to the ground.
"What's wrong Yunfeng!"
Seeing Xiaoxuan change back to her familiar appearance, I gasped and said, "No...it's okay. I was walking too fast and accidentally tripped over a stone."
Xiaoxuan pulled me up and said with an ugly face: "Don't act out of surprise. You scared me. I thought you saw something."
Taking a deep breath, I rubbed my face and took Xiaoxuan into my arms.
"Yun...Yunfeng, you?"
Letting go of her, I turned around and looked at the way I was coming.
The mist is thick and gloomy, and it always feels like there are invisible ghosts wandering in the mist.
He took out his cigarette case from his pocket, took out one, and lit it.
I didn't take a lick, but squatted down and inserted it on the ground respectfully.
I silently recited in my heart: "Masters of the Northern Sect, please protect the safety of my disciples and grandchildren tonight."
