"Ghost?" I immediately felt a layer of goosebumps appear on my spine. Although there were other people around, the chill in Ma Dad's words made me shiver all over. I looked at him in surprise: "Ma Dad, you
What a joke!"
Is this possible? If there are big fish or even big shrimps and crabs in the river, there is at least some reason to believe it. But Ma Dad said that there are ghosts in the water, which is really nonsense.
"When did this happen? I was in the mood to joke with you? The reason why I didn't say it in public was because I was afraid that everyone would get into a mess." As he said this, Ma Dad quietly lifted up his trousers: "Look."
Although the place was completely dark and the light was not very good because of the lighting tools, I could still clearly see through the light of the flashlight that there was a black fingerprint on Ma Dad’s right ankle. The fingerprint looked like black.
It was like ink and had the marks of three or four fingers. When I saw it, my scalp went numb, and I naturally began to think of the scene where Ma Dad was underwater.
"How did this happen!"
"I don't know." Ma Dad shook his head and put down his pants: "To be honest, although I didn't see anything under the water at that time, I could feel it. A hand grabbed my foot and pulled it down hard. Master Wei
, Don’t call me an alarmist, there are a lot of things you don’t know, and this kind of fingerprint is like a ghost slapping you on the back, you can’t even rub it away.”
Ma Dad's words gave me a chill in my heart. I rarely go into pits, and things like ghosts and gods are basically nonsense to me, but the fingerprints on his ankles were extremely clear, and the dark color seemed to
It has seeped into my skin and made my hair stand on end. Goosebumps kept popping up all over my body.
"What on earth is going on?" I stared nervously at Ma Dad's ankle.
"Don't make any noise about this matter. I'm thinking about it, even Zhang Houhou and the others don't know this. As soon as you shout it out, people's hearts will be in chaos. People in this industry have a lot of trust. Master Wei, you feel unsafe
, just go back temporarily. Even if you have the courage to go down, you must be more cautious. If there is anything later, let their people go there first."
Just as he was talking, Zhang Hou's man brought over some dry clothes. Ma Dad drank a lot of hot water, put on his clothes again, and felt much refreshed. Everyone stood up one after another, preparing to walk the entire length of the river bank in one go.
We all carried equipment on our backs, flashlights flashed back and forth, and lined up from where we were, still led by Zhang Houhou and moving forward.
Just as we were about to take a step forward, there were several urgent calls from behind. I was still immersed in the ghostly black fingerprints on Ma Dad's ankle, and I was still very nervous. I suddenly heard several high-pitched calls and immediately
I felt panicked and almost threw the flashlight out of my hand.
However, within a few seconds, I recognized that those shouts seemed to be Lei Duo's voice.
How could she be here?
Several flashlights were shined towards the back, where Lei Duo was timidly leaning against the stone wall in the distance, with an innocent and helpless look on his face.
"Brother Wei Tian." Lei Duo was still some distance away from us. He forced a smile and shouted loudly: "I'm sorry, can you walk slower? I can't keep up."
When he saw Lei Duo, Zhang Houhou was so anxious that he almost knelt down. The little goblin was Lei Yingxiong's heart. If something happened, Zhang Houhou wouldn't have to live.
"Take the rope and go pick her up."
Zhang Houhou's two guys moved closer to Lei Duo without saying a word. My heart almost rose to my throat, this girl was too courageous, and she was in that dangerous area.
It was easy to take Lei Duo over little by little. I was clearly angry and couldn't express it to her. Lei Duo's face was pale, the ends of her hair were stained with moisture condensed water droplets, and her teeth were chattering, which made people laugh.
I felt so distressed that I couldn't say any words to blame her, and could only turn into a deep sigh.
The principals in our group have all gone into the cave, and the people who are left behind are all secondary characters. No one can guard Lei Duo every step of the way. She wants to follow her in secretly, and no one can stop her.
A lawless little girl like this dares to enter anywhere. It was a terrible mistake to let her follow her to Hongshi'ao.
"Let me tell you what's good about you?"
"I promise not to cause trouble and not to say anything. I'll just take a look." As soon as Lei Duo approached us, she immediately felt very safe and her expression recovered a little. She forced a smile and promised me that she would never cause trouble.
"You are really capable." I smiled bitterly: "You can follow me this far even in the dark."
"That's right. I followed you all the way. It was not easy. And the uncle with the slumped shoulders, is he okay? I just saw him fall into the river."
"Of course it's okay." Ma Dad was so frightened just now that his face turned pale, but now he blew it away again, patted his chest, and grabbed the rope with his other hand: "I've seen this kind of small ditch a lot. I used to call it Langli.
Bai Tiao, it’s okay to go into the sea and touch clams.”
As soon as Lei Duo appeared, I felt like there was a bomb around me, so I quickly handed her over to Zhang Houhou. Zhang Houhou was a shrewd man, but when I saw Lei Duo, my head felt swollen, and I rubbed my temples and thought for a long time: "Oh! Let's finish first."
Let’s talk about this point later.”
"You look like you're not happy for me to come?" Lei Duo was not so polite to Zhang Houhou. When he saw his sad face, he immediately got angry.
"How dare you? I'm very happy."
This time Zhang Houhou did not lie. After passing the very steep river bank just now, the rest of the way was much easier. Not long after, the underground river changed its course to the left, rumbling into the abyss, and a large area of the river bank on the right was vacant.
Very flat ground.
"Old Zhang, shouldn't you see the gate ahead?"
"It's not far away. The door is at the end of the corridor above the abyss. Everyone is probably tired. Let's take a good rest here, eat something, and let Brother Ma relax."
I stood there and took a rough look. The land under my feet was connected to the passage above the abyss. As for the scene under the abyss, I couldn't see it yet. Lao Zhang said that in fact, the abyss is not particularly deep, about seventy or eighty meters.
, the bottom is full of water, maybe because of the light and psychological reasons, it always makes people feel that the bottom is bottomless.
Someone took out the stove and started making food. Lei Duo was very interested in these things and squeezed over to help. Zhang Houhou was completely at a loss. He kept walking around Lei Duo with Smiley Face and doing some ideological work for her with gentle words.
, I want her to calm down a little bit.
"Sister, stop making trouble." I also helped: "We have serious things to do, and this place is not a geological park."
"I'll follow and take a look. It won't interfere with your business."
According to our plan, after taking a short rest here, we will soon have to go through the passage on the abyss to deal with the door. Even if we open the door by luck, no one can say what is going on behind the door. Especially Ma Dad showed me his ankle.
After the fingerprints were placed on me, I had developed a little fear of this place. If I hadn't been brave enough to go through life and death over and over again for such a long time, I would have even given up.
Zhang Houhou was also in a dilemma. He originally wanted to send two people to send Lei Duo out first, but the scene that just happened to Madi makes people shiver just thinking about it. In fact, the guys who went into the cave with him were all ruthless characters.
, he dared to kill here alone, but when Lei Duo was involved, a few of them withered.
"How about this." Zhang Houhou said to Lei Duo sincerely: "Let's each make concessions and leave two people here to protect you. We will go to the corridor to do things. When the things are done, we will go out together. See you later.
Come on, Lord Lei, how about I promise not to mention your sneaking into the cave?
"Yes." The monk also added with a naive smile: "Look at how much your father loves you. You don't say you should be filial to him, but you still make trouble."
After all the talk, Lei Duo finally gave in and agreed to stay here and wait. Lao Zhang looked at his watch and said to me: "Boss Wei, let's rest for another hour to recharge and then set off. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, that's the arrangement." I was indeed a little tired and wanted to lean against the stone wall and close my eyes to rest, but my mind could not calm down.
Maybe it's because of Ma Dad's incident that it disturbed my mood, and since Lei Yingxiong revealed the secret to me, there seems to be another layer of separation between me and Mustache. For example, in this operation, unless I really can't make up my mind
When I was there, I would have a brief exchange with him and keep the rest in my mind.
What Mustache once said may be a truth, everyone has two faces. The face hidden in the darkness will never be revealed until absolutely necessary.
My mind was confused and my heart couldn't calm down. I closed my eyes and felt irritable. I simply stood up and wanted to look at the edge of the vast land under my feet to see the abyss. When I swiped the flashlight, I saw Ma Dad and Lei Duo in the distance.
Chatting happily.
Lei Duo was obviously very dissatisfied with me, and probably still resented me for driving her back. When she saw the light from my flashlight, she pouted and turned her head.
"What are you talking about? You are so happy." I wanted to get close to him, but Lei Duo immediately pulled Ma Dad away and walked away, as if he was not willing to talk to me.
I knew that Lei Duo had this unruly temper, so I didn't care about her. I turned around and walked a few steps, slowly approaching the edge of the abyss.
I don’t know how the complex geological structure in front of me was formed. The underground river flows down the edge of the abyss, forming a waterfall with a large drop. At the bottom of the abyss, there seems to be other water systems that converge with the water of the waterfall.
Together, they continue to flow westward. No matter how far they are, they can no longer be seen.
I specifically looked at the very narrow passage on the abyss. This passage is undoubtedly naturally formed, but from the appearance, it looks like a bridge, and it is a huge cross-river bridge, connecting the two sides of the abyss.
Together. I made a visual inspection and found that the entire aisle was about a hundred meters long, and there was a blurry area at the end where I couldn't see anything clearly.
I was lost in thought when I vaguely heard the shouts of Ma Dad and Lei Duo. My heart sank. I immediately felt that something had happened, so I turned around and ran back. But I shone my flashlight back and forth, but I never saw the two of them.
, and when they got closer, they realized that Ma Dad had somehow managed to fall onto the steep slope at the edge of the river bank. He was desperately grabbing a protruding stone with both hands, and Lei Duo was holding Ma Dad's legs, holding his hands with both hands.
He was literally hanging in the air. Lei Duo's legs had already been soaked in the water and were swaying this way and that.
