I slowly held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm lucky and won't die that easily. I survived the two encounters with traps. What else can scare me?" I said.
He said it shamelessly, but actually he was panicking all the time.
Jenny slowly pulled her hand out and said, "Just pretend. The color on your face just now was almost gone. Are you still pretending? Are you completely scared?"
"You're such a boring person. Why don't you pick up a certain pot? I won't talk nonsense to you, we have to move on." As I spoke, I barely supported my body and stood up again.
Jenny quickly supported me and said, "Can you do it? Why don't you take a rest?"
I shook my head and said, "If it doesn't work, I have to leave. There is no time to delay any longer."
"It's better not to be brave. If you encounter another trap, you won't have the strength to hide." What Jenny said makes sense. If there is another trap ahead, then I won't be so lucky. These two times were pure
It was a lucky escape.
But I think that there should be no more traps in this passage. There was only one trap in such a long passage before. Now I have encountered two in a row. It must be about the same. If there is something more dangerous than this,
Even if I could predict the mechanism, I might not be able to avoid it.
"The trap should be gone, I can just walk in." I decided to take a gamble. Anyway, I have been betting every time. Since Jiao Ba is not here, I have no way to find the trap. I can only go all the way.
Just walk carefully.
"Is this...is this okay? If there is another agency, wouldn't it be the end of you?" Jenny didn't agree with the idea.
I walked up to the big stone and looked at it, then turned around and looked into the passage and said, "This is the only thing I can do. If I'm lucky, the mechanism will be gone. If I'm not lucky, I won't encounter the mechanism again."
I must have been able to avoid it, as you can see, I moved forward so carefully, but I almost died."
"At least you can save your life. Don't be reckless. You can't make any mistakes now." Jenny seems to be relying on me now.
I looked at her, smiled deliberately and said, "It seems that you need me very much. What will you do if I die?"
"Don't make such silly jokes, okay? We will get out of here safely." She did not answer me directly, but said tactfully.
"You should stay here. I'll go explore the road first. I'll let you know if it's safe ahead." Before she could say anything, I walked forward cautiously.
"You must be more careful." Jenny reminded me from behind.
This time, I no longer throw the knife forward, but walk forward step by step. Every step I take, I will try to step on the stone slab under my feet. Regardless of whether it works or not, I try to put safety first.
Not for myself, I also have to do it for Jenny.
After walking about ten meters further, I saw that the front of the passage was still dark. How long was this road? Why was it still so dark inside? I had no idea. The longer the passage, the easier it would be to trap.
The more I do, the more I wish Jiao Ba could be by my side at this time.
But when I walked a few steps forward, I was dumbfounded. I finally understood why it was pitch black in front of me. The entrance to the emotional passage was actually a dead end. There was a dark stone wall in front of me. No wonder I couldn't see it at all.
The end.
I looked at the stone wall in front of me, my head was buzzing with pain. God opened a door for me. I thought there would be an exit, but I didn't expect that even the windows were sealed. Now there is really no way out.
Ah, there is a dead end ahead and a cliff behind. What else is waiting for me besides death?
I stood there in a daze for several minutes. I finally risked my life and walked over, but what I got was this result. How could I bear it?
"Zhongyi, why didn't you leave? Did you encounter the agency again?" Jenny asked me when she saw that I hadn't moved in the same place for a long time.
I turned around and said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to leave, but that I can't leave. This is a dead end. We have no way out."
"What? A dead end? How is that possible?" Jenny didn't wait for me to say anything this time, and ran over in a hurry. Anyway, this road is safe, so let her go.
When she saw the stone wall in front of her, she was a little overwhelmed, "What? How could it be a dead end? It shouldn't be."
"The facts are already in front of us, so what else can we say? We are finished. Mr. Mai and the others thought we were dead. It is estimated that no one will come to save us. Now there is no way out. Maybe we will have to
You will starve to death here." I knelt down and said helplessly, starving to death is much more uncomfortable than being shot.
"I don't believe this is a dead end. If it is a dead end, why bother making it an underground passage? There are so many mechanisms inside, are they just to protect this dead wall? Do you think this is right?" Jenny looked down at me.
said.
What she said makes sense. I was a little dizzy just now, and I didn’t analyze the matter carefully. A mountain passage full of traps should not be a dead end. If it is really a dead end, there will be no way.
It is necessary to create such a complicated mechanism.
I patted my face with my hand to calm myself down. There were more mechanisms in this passage than in the passages I had walked through before. There was no reason why it was a blocked road. The secret must be on this wall.
behind.
"I thought about it, this should be a stone door, and there should be a road behind this stone door." I stood up suddenly, and even scared Jenny.
"Hey, why are you so surprised? You scared me." Jenny patted her chest with her hand. I almost hit her chest with my head just now.
"When you just said that, I realized that behind this stone door is either the way out, or the tomb in the cave that Jiao Ba said." I said calmly, looking back and forth on the opposite wall.
observation.
"Well, that's what I think too. I don't know if it's a tomb or not, but it certainly won't be a dead end. It's just... what should we do to open this stone door?" Jenny was talking, and she was also there.
She was groping around, probably trying to see if there was any mystery or anything like that.
I knocked on the wall with my hand. It was very thick and I couldn't feel that it was empty. I put my ear against it and knocked hard again. I listened carefully to the sound in the wall. The sound had a slight reverberation.
, if it were a completely dead wall, you would only hear a dull sound.
"Yes, this is indeed a stone door, but the stone door is very thick. It shouldn't be that easy to open it. How about it? Did you find anything?" I turned on the flashlight and shined it in Jenny's direction.
Jenny turned around, shook her head helplessly and said, "No, there's nothing. It's like a dead wall. You can't even find the handle of the mechanism. Now we're in trouble. If we want to get over, there's no way."
So easy."
I stretched out my hand and groped around, but still found nothing. There are currently two possibilities. One is that the stone door is closed inside. If you want to open it, you can only open it from the inside, and the other is that there is no mechanism at all.
The stone gate was sealed so that no one could get in.
This is terrible. If there really is no mechanism handle outside, we will have no way to get in. "If we look carefully, if there is no mechanism, this stone door cannot be opened at all."
Jenny nodded, and the two of us followed the route just now and searched thoroughly. But around the stone door, there was really nothing except the cold walls. I even looked at the top of the stone door.
I have checked all the surrounding areas, but still found nothing.
"What should we do, Zhongyi? There is nothing. It seems that we are really trapped." Jenny was a little excited just now, but now she has a look of bitterness and hatred on her face.
I looked down at my feet and said to myself, "If it's a stone gate, can I dig a gap from below?"
"What did you say?" Jenny didn't seem to understand what I said.
I looked up at her and said, "If this is really a stone door, can we try to dig a gap from the bottom?"
Jenny rolled her big eyes and said, "You can try it. There is no other way now. The key is the stone slab under your feet. Can you pry it open?"
"You will know if you try it." I said, pulled out the diving knife, squatted down and started to pry the stone slabs. I planned to lift all the stone slabs in the row of stone gates, and then dig a small hole to see if I could
I can't find a way to lift the stone door with my hands.
The stone slabs built by the ancients are no worse than those of modern people. Although they are not made of cement, they are still very strong. It took me a long time to open up a stone slab, and it was still scarred.
.
"***, why is this slate so strong?" I wiped the sweat from my forehead, lowered my head and cursed.
"Don't be anxious, take your time, look at the sweat on your head." Jenny also squatted on the ground to pick up the stone slab, looked at me and said with a smile.
"Are you in a good mood? If we can't open this stone door, it will really be over, and we will have to die." I opened another stone slab and took a breath.
"It's useless to be anxious, so I can only calm down. Everyone has his own destiny. If we really can't get out, it will be God's will." I didn't expect Jenny to be so open-minded and see things so openly, no
She knows whether she is comforting me or comforting herself.
Fortunately, the slate is not too thick. If it were a slate of more than ten centimeters, it would be difficult to open it. In about an hour, the two of us opened all the slates in front of the stone door, and then I started digging the ground with a diving knife.
, the ground is much easier than stone slabs.
Although this was in a cave, it was not as bad as I thought. Without much effort, I dug a small hole underneath. Sure enough, it was a stone door. After the hole was dug out, it formed a small semicircle with the stone door.
