Liu Weike was so frightened that she screamed and grabbed Tunan's arm tightly. At this moment, the flashlight suddenly lit up again, and the dark room finally had light.
Only then did Tu Nan clearly see the person holding Liu Weike's calf. He was a skinny old man, his eyes were dull, his eye sockets were sunken, and his limbs were not much thicker than the bones they had seen before. The hand in his hand
When the flashlight shined on the old man's old and withered face, it was like shining on a cold skull.
"Ah!" Tunan was so frightened that he threw away the flashlight and screamed along with Liu Weike.
The tenor and soprano blended together, making each of them feel as if their eardrums were vibrating.
The flashlight fell on the old man's bald head, bounced twice and then fell to the ground.
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts me so much." The old man covered his head and screamed, angrily pinching Tunan's calf.
Only then did Liu Weike calm down. She looked at the skinny old man in front of her and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I have something wrong! I didn't expect that I didn't starve to death here. I was almost scared to death by your screams. This kid even hit me on the head! Ahem..." The thin old man said a few words angrily.
, he held his chest and coughed.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's because the atmosphere here is so gloomy, I almost thought you were..." Tunan scratched his head in embarrassment and did not finish his sentence.
"You almost thought I was a ghost, didn't you?" the old man said feebly, "I don't blame you, this Qianshu Realm is full of bones, but living people are rare."
Liu Weike asked: "Old man, why are you here?"
The old man sighed and said: "Alas, I was a laborer captured by those Hronks. I suffered many years of slavery and torture, and had to be separated from my wife and daughter. I and my companions before
We tried various methods, but failed to escape successfully, and were always beaten half to death. Only then did we choose to take risks and try to escape from Qianshu Realm. But who would have expected that this place was a death cave, and not many people could get out alive.
"
"What about your companions?"
The old man sobbed, covered his face and said, "You damn girl who doesn't open and lift any pot, they would have died a long time ago! I, the only survivor, am not far away from starving to death." He continued.
After sobbing twice, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Have you two brought anything to eat?"
Liu Weike looked at his expectant eyes and whispered: "No..."
"You two have heads made of mallets! Are you running for your life without food?" The little flame of hope in the old man's eyes was extinguished in an instant. He sadly picked up the ham sausage package at hand and put it in front of his nose.
Smell again and again. "I can only smell the smell of meat."
Tunan asked: "You finally got here, why don't you go any further?"
"I can't move my legs anymore." The old man pointed to his right leg sadly.
With the faint light, Liu Weike saw a few strips of cloth wrapped hastily around the old man's legs. In the gaps between the strips, his exposed bones could be seen, as well as the discolored and rotten flesh around them.
There was a broken arrow stained with blood not far away from him. His injured leg had shrunk a bit, and even if he escaped successfully, he might not be able to return to his former self.
The old man continued: "I was injured by the damn mechanism here. I finally crawled and rolled to escape to this room, just wanting to rest for a while. Who knew that when I wanted to move forward again, this leg would no longer be able to move forward.
I have no strength left. I also wanted to endure the pain and leave here, but when I saw the way out here, I gave up completely." He raised his arm in frustration and pointed ahead.
Liu Weike raised the weak flashlight and discovered that the room had bare walls on three sides, with only a door behind it. There was a long rope ladder hanging in front, leading directly to a circular door on the ceiling.
.
The old man in front of him had an injury to his right leg and was unable to climb the rope ladder alone.
Liu Weike comforted her gently: "It's okay, we are here. We will take you out of here."
The old man raised his dirty hands, rubbed his red eyes, and said, "Fortunately, I met you, and I knew that my old guy shouldn't die."
Tunan listened to the noisy noise outside and quickly motioned to Liu Weike and the old man to lower their voices. He whispered: "We can't delay any longer, we must leave here quickly. Old man, I will carry you on my back."
He quickly picked up the old man with Liu Weike's help and walked straight to the rope ladder.
Although the old man was as skinny as a stick, Tunan still felt a little strenuous. Firstly, it was because he had been tired for a long time and lacked physical strength; secondly, because he was still injured on his shoulder.
The rope ladder would sway back and forth in mid-air as long as it was slightly touched. Even if Tunan was injured, it would take some effort to climb up by himself. At this moment, there was a person on his back, making it even more inconvenient to move.
"I'll help you pull the ladder down below to prevent it from dangling all the time. Grandpa, you must hold on to Tunan." Liu Weike warned uneasily.
The rope ladder was a bit old, and Tunan could hear it making a sound every time he climbed up. He was very nervous, fearing that the rope would suddenly break.
Time passed by minute by second, Tunan was sweating profusely, and his arms gradually became so weak that he could hardly lift them up. The old man lying on his back kept remembering Liu Weike's instructions and wrapped his arms tightly around him.
neck.
"Grandpa, don't tighten it so tightly, I can hardly breathe." Tunan's face turned red, and blue veins were visible on his neck and forehead.
"No, I'm afraid I'll fall!" The old man closed his eyes tightly and didn't dare to look at the ground.
They finally climbed to the top of the rope ladder and were within easy reach of the circular exit. Tunan panted and said, "Grandpa, I can't spare my hands. Please help me open this door quickly."
The old man opened his eyes fearfully, stretched out his skinny hand and gave it a sharp push.
The light from outside suddenly penetrated into the dark room. Tunan breathed a long sigh of relief and said happily: "Great, we can finally go out." At this moment, he was almost exhausted. He used his last strength to carry on his back.
The old man climbed out.
"Liu Weike, come up quickly!" He squatted at the exit and stretched out his hand towards Liu Weike from a distance.
Liu Weike threw aside the flashlight that was not very effective. She endured the pain in her body and tried to climb up. Just as she was about to escape smoothly, the door was suddenly pushed open.
I saw Miyun rushing in eagerly with several Hronks.
