Chapter 17 Chapter 16 Escape

Because of the piranhas in the water, Shu Shan learned to swim.Because of the strong waves and eddies, Shu Shan learned to dive, and she dived so well that she forgot to observe the light source on the surface.If I hadn't turned on the flashlight at close range, she wouldn't have realized that I had come back to find her. Maybe she was still wandering in the canyon, becoming a ghost under the tomb. Shu Shan told me that her sense of direction was very poor. After the water waves washed me away from her, she couldn't tell where was the tomb and where was the outside of the canyon.After swimming for a while, she always felt that she was going in the wrong direction, so she swam back again.But after swimming for a while, she felt that it was wrong now, so she swam many wronged ways back and forth.

It seems that people who have been in the water for a long time learn to swim relatively quickly. He can quickly master swimming skills out of instinct.And those who go to the swimming pool twice a year will inevitably have to rely on the swimming ring with a diameter of less than one meter for life. Shu Shan cried for a long time before asking me where I was just now. I was embarrassed to say that I thought she was dead, but said that I was swept away by the current, and when the water became weaker, I came back to look for her. Shu Shan was naturally very moved. She hugged my arm tightly, very afraid that I would suddenly disappear again.

For Shu Shan, I feel very guilty. I should have gone to find her when I came up from the current, and I shouldn't have swam a long way to come back, causing her to suffer so much.If it is said that I left alone just now, then maybe I will never see her again. I took Shu Shan to swim to the shallow water beach in the distance. Since the water can flow there, maybe there will be an exit.Although the hope is relatively small, it is better than nothing. Compared with the swimming process to find Shushan, swimming far away is very easy.It is not only smooth, but also a relief of psychological burden.The former is a person who goes to a terrible place to find another person who may die, and the latter is two people who are thrown together into the unknown world.

When I was swimming with Shu Shan, I found that Shu Shan's swimming style was completely different, basically it was a hardworking type.For possibly self-inflicted reasons, her entire body was lying on her side in the water.When swimming, the two arms keep pushing back the water, and the two thin legs push the water back, which has a unique style.What surprised me the most was that the gun seized from the villagers on her shoulder was still there, and it was not thrown away because of falling into the water. After swimming like this for more than ten minutes, we slowly came to the shallow water beach where I ate fish just now.I asked Susan if she was hungry and she nodded yes.I asked her if she ate fish in the water, and she shook her head again, saying that the water stinks and smells like shit.

When she said it smelled like shit, I felt a little weird.Although the water is indeed smelly, the fish tastes good.I said to myself: You are really the fate of the eldest lady, you can't blame me if you can't bear it later! Due to insufficient supply water, the subsequent water flow gradually slowed down. At the same time, because of the higher terrain, we were able to get out of the puddle.However, there are still cracks on the ground. Judging from the existing canyon, this canyon is indeed just formed, because there are fresh gravels on the ground. The canyon floor itself is smooth, made of a rock with a blood-red surface.From the surface, this is a huge and complete stone, and it may also be because of the integrity of this stone that it has not been torn by the surface.

Shushan and I walked out of the water and sat on the newly broken stone, planning to take a good rest. I took a look at Shu Shan with disheveled hair, only to realize that Shu Shan is really a beauty.It is said that the woman in the bath is the most beautiful, this sentence is really not wrong at all, and looking at Shu Shan's red lips and white teeth, and her beautiful neck, she is really like a light cloud, and she is like a red glow. "What are you looking at?" Shu Shan glared at me, it seemed that she had already seen my dishonesty. "I didn't see anything, you see the weather is good today." I pointed to the cliff where I couldn't see the top.

"Ghosts believe it, don't think that my clothes have a few holes, so you want to take advantage of me." As soon as I heard that the girl's temper was not small, I followed Master Dou and took off her shoes and picked her feet. Seeing me taking off my shoes, Shu Shan was even more upset: "You said you, why did you start taking off your shoes while talking? I asked if you could consider other people's feelings. It's impolite to take off your shoes in public. Don’t you know the behavior? Look at you, you took off your socks and picked your feet, how come you look like Lord Dou, haven’t you learned five lectures, four beauties and three loves?”

I glanced at her, put on my shoes again without saying a word, stood up and left. Seeing me standing up and leaving, Shu Shan hurriedly followed.She said: "You change as you say, and you get angry in a while. Let me tell you, you are not as good as my cousin. He has a very good temper. Every time I bully him, he doesn't like me." Fight back." "I'm not your cousin." "Although you are not my cousin, you and my cousin are classmates. I use him as a reference when I find a boyfriend." I heard her say that Huo Gang was the reference for finding a boyfriend, so I couldn't help but look back at her.When I turned my head back abruptly, Shu Shan couldn't help feeling terrified. She covered her chest and said tremblingly, "What are you doing!"

I saw that her expression was quite funny, so I turned my head and walked on. "Hey, you, you haven't answered my question yet!" "what is the problem?" "The question I asked you in the tomb, do you have someone you like?" "Kids, don't ask questions." "If you don't answer, you have it, what a pity!" "What a pity?" "It's a pity that you can't go out, and you can't find the person you like." I heard Shu Shan's words getting more and more irritating, so I didn't want to answer her words, but I didn't know that she would go on and on: "Is she pretty? What's her name? We met in college? Have you ever robbed a tomb?"

"Believe it or not, I threw you back into the pool?" Susan shut up. Seeing that Shu Shan didn't speak, I felt a little sorry, and because no one spoke in such a deep valley, I felt somewhat scared, so I found another topic: "Your cousin's surname is Huo, so his ancestor is also Huo Dong? " "no." "No, who is that?" "Huo Dong is a secret agent of the snake generation, and Huo Jiaren, the ancestor of my cousin, is a secret agent of the chicken generation." When I heard what Shu Shan said, I was shocked. I didn't expect that Chen Daohe had two spies here.But I heard Shu Shan continue to say: "Huo Dong and Huo Jiaren are blood brothers. Their ancestors were originally Wu Sangui's subordinates. After Wu Sangui was defeated, he surrendered to the Qing government. Later, Emperor Yongzheng began to set up spies, and they were the first to use them." The ancestor's son, after more than 100 years of development, gradually became two spies. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Huo Dong served his life for the warlord, while Huo Jiaren returned to his hometown in Yunnan. Due to political differences, the two families had no contact for decades. Later, Chen Dao and Master Uncle took the initiative to contact my uncle Huo Zihao and asked the two families to reconcile. My uncle saw that Master Uncle was very upright and had a good reputation, so he gradually became friends with this branch. I was also sent off by my uncle recently. Came here for training."

After listening to Shu Shan's story, I realized that I had another piece of news, that is, I found the whereabouts of the descendants of the tenth spy.Although Huo Zihao and Chen Daohe have a great relationship, Huo Zihao is more upright and straightforward, and he is not necessarily on the same side as Chen Daohe. But although this news is good, it is useless to think that most of the descendants of the spies may have died in this tomb. "What's your impression of Chen Daohe?" I asked. "Master Uncle, Master Uncle is very nice, amiable and approachable." Shu Shan said innocently. After hearing what Shu Shan said, I realized that Chen Daohe's ability to deal with interpersonal relationships is so strong that he actually resolved nearly a hundred years of grievances.At the same time, I also felt the tact of this old fox again, actually covering up all the shady things he did. I asked Shu Shan again: "Why did you come to the training?" "I think it's funny! Think about it, it's a pity that so many things were buried under the ancient tomb, and so much history was changed by later kings. Only by excavating the ancient tomb can we restore the historical truth .” I heard what Shu Shan said, and I found that there is no more simple starting point than Shu Shan for grave robbers in this world. While speaking, the canyon became steeper and narrower, and the entire canyon was less than one meter wide. Because the canyon is too narrow, the two of us can no longer walk side by side. Shu Shan said, "Yishui, you said that the canyon keeps going up. Does that mean that we can reach the top of the canyon if we insist on walking up?" I replied: "In theory, it is, but if the canyon continues to narrow, I'm afraid we will be caught in the canyon." "It won't be so painful, will it?" "Theoretically so." After walking up for a while, we saw the moonlight at the top of the canyon and the stars that were not too bright under the moonlight through the narrow mountain gap.Susan was very excited to see these stars. She thought this was hope, which meant that she could go out. "Yishui, you said that if we can't find the exit, we can come to this place and climb up, okay?" Shu Shan said. "Theoretically it could," I replied. "Is there something wrong with you, why do you always talk about theory?" Shu Shan asked urgently. "Mainly because you keep asking unreliable questions," I said. In such a difficult environment, Shu Shan and I quarreled for a while, and both of us felt a lot bolder.However, the next canyon is even narrower, it can't even be called a canyon anymore, it can only be called a crack, and the whole crack can only allow Shushan and I to pass sideways. Shushan and I walked sideways for about 20 meters, and the stars above our heads were no longer visible, and the light in the canyon became dark again.I know that we have gone from the crack in the saddle to the crack in the peak.Seeing such a scene, Shu Shan couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and began to complain that I didn't agree to her climbing up the mountain crevice just now. The only way to climb in the crevice is to climb the fork, but this method has certain risks.I can't just take her on a risk. If something happens to the two of us, the other will probably never get out again. After walking up for a while, the mountain gap was slightly wider, but it could only accommodate one person.After walking for a while, we were surprised to find that we had reached the end of the crevice and there was no way out. The end of the crevice looks very much like a courtyard. It is generally circular with a diameter of more than 3 meters.Judging from the existing geological changes, the mountain shape here must have been explored by experts.Knowing that the surface of the mountain is a whole, and the bottom of the mountain is a whole, this expert designed the tomb of King Yue accordingly. Once we touch a certain mechanism, the whole mountain will undergo tremendous changes. Seeing this, Shu Shan was in despair, she felt that she could never get out, and I was also very disappointed, but I still wanted to comfort her, after all, one of the two must persevere. "What should we do? Let's go back to the place where we can see the stars." Shu Shan said. "Isn't it appropriate, you can see stars here too." I said. "Not good, the mountains here are high, and the mountains there are low." Shu Shan said. "But the mountains there are very smooth, while the mountains here are uneven, and there are still many places to stand on the cliffs. Compared with the same period, it is easier here." The reason why I told Shu Shan this is purely out of laziness, because there is still a long way to go to the mountain crevice in the saddle, and we have no strength now, anyway, it is the same way to go up and up. Going inside is walking. Shu Shan also had no strength at that time. Hearing what I said, she didn't say much. After resting on the ground for a while, she went up with me.Due to the vertical development of the cliff, rock climbing is somewhat difficult.Shushan turned the gun to her back, and I turned off the flashlight and clipped it to my belt. Although the upper part of the patio was dimly illuminated by moonlight, but due to the depth of the well and shallow light, it was still pitch black underneath, so we could only climb rocks in the dark.Fortunately, Shushan has received professional training, and both of us can climb up. While crawling, Shu Shan said, "Yishui, are there any pieces of fish hidden on your body?" "No, why am I carrying that!" I thought Shu Shan thought I smelled bad. "I'm hungry, I want to eat fish." Shu Shan said. "Climb well, and you will eat fish when you climb up." I didn't expect that now she would not feel disgusted by fish. "Do you know which is the best meal I ate in my life?" Shu Shan said. When I heard it, I felt strange: how would I know which meal you ate well?But thinking of the need to encourage her now, otherwise she would drop her hands and fall into the abyss to be martyred, wouldn't that be the end of her life, so she encouraged her and said, "I don't know, tell me what you ate for that meal?" "Oh, this stone is not strong." Shu Shan changed a stone and continued to climb, "It was when I was a child, my grandfather took me to the market. There were people playing chess in the market, and my grandfather surrounded them. I see. My grandfather has a problem with watching chess, that is, he likes to point and point, and he loses the popularity of chess in a short while. The chess player left, and he just sat there. He forgot about me long ago. He didn’t think of me until the chess players had dispersed, but he couldn’t find me no matter how hard he looked. My grandpa was in a hurry at the time and searched all over the place, but he couldn’t find it all afternoon. Found it. Later, when he came home, he found that I had arrived." "No, it should be your grandfather who eats the most!" "At that time, I fell in love with the cotton candy seller on the side of the road, but I had no money with me, so I just walked around the cotton candy seller and didn't leave. The cotton candy seller saw me standing here all the time and thought I was I want to buy it, but I have no money, so I can only shake my head dryly. In this way, I stood there all morning. At noon, the cotton candy seller was going home. They gave me a bunch of cotton candy and then pedaled away But at this time I realized that I couldn’t find my grandfather. I kept crying. I didn’t know which village I ran to. I met an old lady in the village. The old lady asked me who I was, so I called our family At that time, human trafficking was popular in our family. My mother was afraid that I would be abducted. The first sentence she taught me was not to call me dad or mom, but to teach me to recite our home address. The aunt As soon as they heard me give out my home address, they sent me back." "So, your childhood was quite happy." "Yes, but my grandpa has already died of cancer. That night, I felt that the rice was very delicious, no matter how I ate it, I felt delicious. Later, I asked my mother to make that meal again, and it didn't taste that good anymore." After Shu Shan finished speaking, I had a general understanding of Shu Shan's childhood.Listening to Shu Shan telling her own story, I also thought of an interesting childhood story.I told her that when I was a child, my mother didn't like to buy me snacks, and I didn't eat any snacks for half a year.Once, I saw my mother hid 50 yuan under the pillow, I was very happy, secretly took it out and bought a yuan of hawthorn (also known as tiger meat), and secretly put the recovered 49 yuan back to the original place. land.At that time, I was very happy, thinking that I only stole one yuan, and I would definitely not be found out. Who knew that I was beaten up that night. After hearing this, Shu Shan laughed from ear to ear and kept saying that I was too stupid. While speaking, I have already climbed forty or fifty meters, and there are not many cliffs left.Our confidence has greatly increased, and we try not to look down, so as to avoid unnecessary tension caused by fear of heights.Just when I was thinking about a few interesting things about my childhood, I found a deep hole about 3 meters high and 2 meters wide on my left side. Judging from the existing traces, it is impossible to judge whether this hole is Not because of this geological change, but its presence allows us to rest for a while. Sitting in the cave with Shu Shan, I let out a sigh of relief, thinking that we are finally leaving here. I saw Shu Shan scratching her back constantly, so I shone a light on her, and asked, "What's wrong?" "I was bitten by a fish in the water before, and now it's very itchy." Shu Shan said. After hearing what Shu Shan said, I also felt that my calf was extremely itchy, but I didn't dare to scratch it, for fear that the wound would become inflamed.I ran the flashlight into the cave and took a picture, but found that the front was very dark.I patted my butt, walked inside, and found that there seemed to be a light in the distance.This aroused my curiosity even more. Could it be that there is an exit in front? "Hey, what are you doing, wait for me!" Seeing me walking in, Shu Shan followed me: "Why is there a light, haha, is it the exit?" "Theoretically yes." "Here we go again." Shu Shan said, "Don't keep saying the catchphrase." I ignored Shu Shan, but accelerated and ran forward. After running for about 100 meters, I finally came to the end.It turned out that the place where the light was shining was actually another hole.And outside the entrance of this cave is a cliff about 100 meters high. Below this cliff is a river. Judging from the external geographical environment, this river is very likely to be the upstream of the river at the gate of Tianshi Mansion. I took a deep breath and said to myself, unexpectedly we have already come here, the cliff here has been exposed to the sun for a long time, the gravel on the surface has long been weathered, the stones on the cliff are extremely smooth, there is no foothold, this place cannot be used as Exit, it is better to return to the original road.This problem was also seen by Shu Shan who came with us, and she also thought it was necessary for us to return to the patio and climb out from the patio. With a feeling of loss, we started to return to the entrance of the cave from the same road. When I returned, I felt a little differently about my surroundings.When I came in before, I was full of longing for this hole, so I walked faster, but now I go back, but I feel that this deep hole is a bit weird. Not only does it appear strange, but even this hole is full of a powerful force. Gloomy. Sure enough, when we walked to the middle of the hole, I saw that the wall on the left was broken, and when I looked carefully, I found that the wall was empty.My experience tells me that there must be something hidden in this wall, and it cannot be entered, otherwise it is very likely to go to the Lord of the Underworld again.But my curiosity kept leading me to see what was inside. This is a contradictory thinking process, just like when a person sees a snake, he thinks the snake is ugly, but he still can't help but look at it, as if to test some unknown hypothesis. At this time, Shushan played a major role in my decision.She thinks this is the location of the hanging coffin in Longhu Mountain, and we may find the hanging coffin here.When I heard what Shu Shan said, all the horrible memories of the hanging coffins of the Bo people came to my mind instantly. A large number of wolves, the pavilion and the bride at midnight, the dry old monsters and the Bo people ascended to immortality, and the nine-story peak of picking stars seemed Right in front of your eyes. I took a deep breath and said to Shu Shan, "Let's get out of the mountain well honestly, so that no one will collect our body when we die." But Shu Shan was very bold, even though she had just returned from death She walked out of the palace, but she was more curious than me, so she was reluctant to leave. Shu Shan was reluctant to leave, and I, a big man, naturally couldn't take the initiative to confess, so I stayed with her for a while, but I would not agree with her to go in again.Now the fourth uncle and others are still missing, if we have any mistakes, I am afraid that there is really no messenger. Shushan took the flashlight from my hand and hung the gun on my shoulder.She took a flashlight and glanced into the cave, but she didn't seem to find anything important.Just when she lost interest, a white thin rope flew out of the hole suddenly, and the thin rope was tied to Shu Shan's calf at a very fast speed. Following the tightness of the thin rope, Shu Shan fell backwards , fell to the ground.Before I could react, I saw Shu Shan being pulled into the hole forcefully by the thin rope.
