I was startled and hurriedly wanted him to stop. Even if there were gold and silver treasures over there, I couldn't give up my life at the expense of money!
But before I spoke, the fat man grinned at me and said: "Little prince, I know what you are going to say, but I think you should stop trying to persuade me. I know this is very dangerous, but Mr. Gua is not afraid. The worst he can do is die."
Words!"
"Let me tell you, Mr. Gua, I like money. That's because Mr. Gua, I am really afraid of being poor. If I weren't afraid of being poor, who would be willing to do this business. A grave full of gold and silver is accompanied by danger, and nine times out of ten I will die.
"In ancient times, thieves have a short life, so it is better to go home and farm. I will use this life to exchange for wealth."
As the fat man talked, he climbed sideways along the stone wall. His body was already bulky, and climbing such a vertical stone wall was even more thrilling. Although he climbed parallel, he almost stepped on it several times in just a few meters.
It was empty, and we were covered in cold sweat.
At this time, I suddenly noticed that the fat man’s eyes were shining brightly, and he was muttering as if he was talking to himself: “Master Gua, I am afraid of being poor. If it weren’t for being poor, my father would not be beaten to death by the tax collectors.
In the cowshed, if it weren't for poverty, my mother wouldn't have abandoned me and ran away with others. If my current mother hadn't picked me up and brought me home, I would have starved to death and frozen to death. What can I do for someone who has no blood relationship?
The child of the relationship will never marry. He knows that he owes her a huge favor. He just wants to repay her. Although he has no ability and is a jerk, he can still give up his body and make a lot of money to support her in her old age.
, if she can live a good life for a few days, Mr. Gua will feel at ease, and it will be worth it even if she dies..."
Although the fat man's voice was low, I heard it word for word. I didn't expect that he still had so many things hidden in his heart. If what he said was true, then he was really miserable when he was a child. It seems that these
It was not easy for him to live in 2008. It is estimated that this is how he developed his money-grubbing temperament.
On the contrary, his stepmother is very admirable. She sacrificed too much to raise him without marrying for the rest of his life, but in the end she succeeded. Fatty lived a very cheerful life and never forgot her kindness.
I wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the monkey. "Hutou, stop talking and let him go! I understand his mood, it's not easy!"
I was silent, and Monkey had something else to say. Now I suddenly understood why he had to go out and follow the fat man. Of course it was because the two of them had a lot in common, but the most important thing was that he didn’t want to rely on anyone anymore.
No matter how good your life is under someone else's roof, there will always be some knots in your heart.
The figure of the fat man finally disappeared from our sight. No one knows whether he can pass, but under the current situation, we can only wait. The most we can do is to pray that the fat man can pass this level.
But before we heard the news about the fat man, something happened on our side first. Xiaojiu, who was standing aside, suddenly fell to the ground, twitching all over his body, his face turned livid, and there were big beads of sweat.
It rolled down from my forehead.
Several people were startled and hurried over to help him up, but he seemed to have no strength at all and his eyes were closed tightly. We asked several times but didn't understand a single answer. It is estimated that he can't speak now.
The words have come.
"What's going on? Is he sick?" said the monkey. But Wang Kui shook his head and said that he had always been in good health.
At this time, Xiaojiu suddenly stretched out a trembling hand and gently touched his thigh, but soon it dropped weakly.
It seemed that the problem was with pushing. Ban Cun Tou took out a dagger and quickly cut open his pants. But when they saw the situation inside, they all fell silent. At this time, Xiao Jiu's thighs were all swollen.
, it was blue-purple, with a large area rotten, and the flesh and blood were blurred, which looked a bit miserable.
After a while, Wang Kuicai said: "Things are in trouble. If we were outside, there would still be a 80% chance of survival, but here, with our current conditions, it may be less than 30%."
I also felt a little helpless. Judging from the injuries, Xiaojiu was bitten by those snake-tailed lizards. I didn’t expect that the bacteria in the mouths of these ghosts were so powerful. It took less than two hours to become like this. If it happens again
If he goes down, he will die soon.
But why didn't he say it at the beginning? If it had been discovered earlier, it would have been easier to deal with.
After Wang Kui told me, I found out that this was all caused by his character. Wang Kui said that Xiaojiu was an orphan when he was a child. At that time, he followed a group of beggars to beg on the street. Because he was the youngest, he was often bullied by the older children.
, over a long period of time, he has developed a taciturn character. He maintains a kind of vigilance towards all people, and never easily reveals his inner emotions in front of others. He is afraid, he is afraid of the initial
If the time comes, we will leave him behind, so we endure it.
I smiled bitterly, not blaming him for being trapped in a cocoon. In fact, if it were me, I would be worried too. I suddenly discovered that everyone here seems to have a story in their hearts, a story that they don't want to tell anyone.
, in fact, I am not like this myself.
"What should we do, we can't ignore him." I said. The old man once told me that in this situation, a reliable companion is equal to a second life, and we should not give up easily under any circumstances.
"Yes, but now we can only do our best." Wang Kui asked Ban Cuntou to bring the package over and took some medicine out of it.
"Yanhuning? Penicillin? Can these two drugs be used together?"
"There is nothing we can do. This is the most effective antibacterial and antiviral drug. We can only give him all the drugs. But whether he can survive this or not depends on him." Wang Kui took out a syringe and mixed the two kinds of drugs.
The medicine was given to Xiaojiu separately, and then he was given an injection of sedatives. Soon Xiaojiu fell asleep, but whether he could wake up again depended on his own physical constitution and will.
Fatty left, Xiaojiu collapsed, and the atmosphere at the scene became much more deserted for a while. The five of us looked at each other silently, and we could see that everyone had something on their minds, but no one said it easily.
About an hour later, there was still no news from Fatty, but Xiaojiu had a fever. I was very anxious, but for a while I had no idea and couldn't speak.
Another hour passed, and the ominous feeling in my heart became more and more intense. Fatty still hasn't responded. Has something happened?
At this time, Ban Cuntou suddenly stood up, glanced at us, and said, "We can't wait any longer. Now I think of a way. If it succeeds, maybe we can get there safely."
I felt refreshed. I already know his blunt character very well. Although he sometimes likes to make some incomprehensible jokes, he is a very serious person when it comes to serious matters. He said that he can give it a try.
The method is definitely more than 50% certain.
He opened all our backpacks, took out two daggers, and then took out a piece of beef tendon rope to tie the handles of the daggers, and used a hammer to hammer the daggers into the mountain walls on both sides.
After doing it, he ran down the stairs along the way. About half an hour later, he came back with a straight branch, took out a dagger and tied it to the branch, and then took out a very long length of beef tendon rope.
One end is tied to the dagger and the other is tied to the rope here.
Seeing this, I basically understood his intention. He wanted to make a "bow" and then shoot the rope over. But is this method possible? I'm not sure about this.
"Can you two come over and do me a little favor?" Ban Cun looked at me and Monkey.
I hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked over. "Is this really okay?"
"My young prince, how do you know if you don't try? Or do you have a better way?" He looked at me and said with a smile. At this time, I felt that his face was particularly worthy of a beating.
I shook my head, followed his instructions, and together with the monkey, we put the branch on the tendon rope, and then pulled it back hard. Ban Cuntou walked forward, put the branch on his shoulder, and looked at the branch with his eyes.
Aiming forward, the body slightly moves from time to time to adjust the height. "Little prince, you just pull back with all your strength, and then release it when I ask you to release it."
Only now do I know that it is very difficult to draw a bow and shoot an arrow. Ban Cun Tou keeps adjusting his position and won’t let us go. We dare not let go even if he doesn’t tell us. It’s okay for a short time, but over time it becomes difficult to control it.
Living.
"Hey, let me tell you whether it's okay or not. My arms are shaking. I can't bear it if I keep going like this. I don't want to shoot an arrow and become a second-level cripple." The monkey shouted anxiously. I looked at it.
I glanced at him, and sure enough, those two arms were shaking like springs. In fact, I couldn't hold on anymore. This beef tendon is specially made and is very flexible. The more it is stretched, the heavier it feels. I guess we
The two of them can only hold on for one more minute at most, and they have to let go if they don't let go at that time.
As soon as I had this idea, I heard Ban Cuntou shout "let go". We subconsciously let go of our hands, and the arrow from the string disappeared in front of us like lightning with its long tail, and the rope on the ground became more and more stringent.
A little, and it soon became tight.
I was a little nervous, for fear that if the rope suddenly loosened, our plan would be in vain. But what was surprising was that the tight rope trembled and made a "buzzing" sound, and then suddenly loosened, but it did not
It fell down and remained in its original position until it finally came to a complete standstill.
"Success?" I was a little excited, and I immediately wanted to pull up and try, but I was stopped by Ban Buntou. He tightened the rope with one hand and picked up the hammer with the other and smashed it hard on the rope, just like playing cotton.
