Chapter 79 Chapter 20 Shrimp Group

The mudstone cave is not long, it is only about ten meters from the beginning to the end. If there is a secret door and secret passage, we would have discovered it long ago.Except for the corners of the clothes embroidered with "yellow characters", there are no other clues on the two bones.I think the time is almost up, and I'm afraid there will be more troubles if we stay any longer, so it's better to climb out of the mudstone cave as soon as possible. There was no light at night, the wind was howling, and the waves were raging.The walls of the mudstone pit are almost all soft mud, and there are relatively few stones. It is not easy to climb back to the ground. Maybe we have collapsed the mud wall before climbing up, and we will definitely be buried alive by then.We stood under the mudstone pit, helpless, even a monkey could hardly climb out.Now no one hears the call for help, do you really want to sit and wait to die?

Seeing that the storm was getting closer and raindrops fell from the sky, I was in a hurry.It would be fine if the mudstone caves can accumulate water. We can wait for the rainwater to accumulate and rise to the ground with the water surface.I'm afraid that before the water level rises, the mudstone cave will collapse and disintegrate due to the accumulation of water, and become a pot of mud, so there is no way to escape. I didn't know what to do, and suddenly I felt my feet were cold, and I looked down, and there was already a shallow layer of water in the cave.The heavy rain has not come, the storm has not come, how can there be water in the mudstone cave, it is impossible for me to pee my pants.Mu Qingxiang searched carefully, and soon found a fist-sized hole in the ground, and water was continuously gushing out of the hole.

"Is there an underground spring here?" I was confused. "It's not spring water, it's sea water." Mu Qingxiang replied. I smelled a salty smell. The bottom of the mudstone cave is likely to be a rocky reef with a sea cave. Once the sea water rises, there will be backflow.The sea water rose faster and faster, and I tried to swim back to the ground with the water surface, but the mud layer in the mudstone cave kept falling off after the water surface rose a few centimeters.I quickly understood that if the seawater hadn't poured in a few times before and loosened the mudstone cave, we couldn't have fallen so easily.

Mu Qingxiang was not in a hurry at all, instead she asked me: "These two bones are digging a hole here. Since there is no exit, there is no entrance. You said this just now, right?" I froze for a moment, and replied suspiciously: "Yeah, what's the matter, now you want to stop worrying about that problem. The business is to go out first, and it doesn't matter how they got in." "Let's not talk about how they got here, if they dig holes here, where does the soil go?" Mu Qingxiang asked while standing in the water. I patted my head, Mu Qingxiang asked the right question, if they really dug a hole here to escape, where did the mud and rocks dug earlier go?The ground is already close to the sea reef, and the mud they dug up cannot be piled up on the ground, but it is piled up on both sides of the cave wall.In other words, there was already such a large space in the mudstone cave at that time, but there was no exit, and the entrance was probably blocked by people.They had no choice but to dig elsewhere, but they couldn't escape after all.

Mu Qingxiang looked back to the depths of the mudstone cave, turned her back to me and said, "The basement should be nearby, and they were probably blocked here when the basement was completed. The mudstone cave is probably an unfinished basement. a part of." I had a headache and said: "The walls here are hard and thick. Even if the basement is next to it, we can't dig through. If we could dig through, these two ancestors would have done it long ago. The underground is a sea reef, so we can't dig down. Otherwise, if the sea water poured back violently, wouldn't it be an act of death."

While speaking, the hole where the water came out became bigger, and the sea water had already flooded to our knees.If I delay it any longer, I'm afraid that the mudstone cave will really collapse, so I immediately tell Mu Qingxiang to leave the basement alone, survival is the most important thing.But Mu Qingxiang didn't appreciate it, she insisted on going in again, the emperor was really not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry.Seeing that the speed of the seawater pouring back is accelerating, I want to abandon Mu Qingxiang and try to climb up by myself first, and then call someone to help.Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought flashed through my mind, the loose foundation mud layer collapsed, and the mud pit was blocked.

Because the mud and rock fell off and fell into the water, there was a wave of water in the tunnel. I couldn't stand still for a while, and was rushed in for several meters.Mu Qingxiang hurriedly turned around to catch me, but the momentum was too strong, we all took a few steps back.I raised my hand, held up the flashlight, and saw that the tunnel was blocked, and my heart immediately became cold.Few people come to this ghostly place, and the wind and waves are so loud, and it's still midnight, I'm afraid we will really be listed as missing persons. When I saw this, I was depressed and said: "What should we do now? We are not mice, how can we dig out? Besides, the two ancestors failed to escape. Could it be that they want us to stay and die with them?"

"Don't talk about it, even if the hole is not blocked, you can't climb up." Mu Qingxiang shook her head at me. "I haven't tried it yet, how do you know." I was not convinced. "If you really climbed, the mud wall would continue to collapse due to your weight, then you would have been buried long ago, and the current situation is considered good." Mu Qingxiang was very optimistic. "Then what do you say? The entrance of the cave is blocked and the air is limited. We must escape quickly." I said anxiously. Mu Qingxiang felt in the water, picked up a shovel, and asked me to dig into the blocked hole, maybe I could dig a passage.The mudstone cave is not big, so it is only suitable for one person to work when digging.Mu Qingxiang held the flashlight for me, and I dug a few times anxiously with the shovel, but the shovel was already rusted, and the mud walls were mostly stone, so after digging a few times, the shovel deformed.I turned the shovel upside down, trying to poke a hole out of the wooden stick. Although I couldn't get out, I could at least let the air flow.It's a pity that nothing came out, and the handle of the shovel was broken.

I turned around and stretched out my hands helplessly towards Mu Qingxiang, I did everything I could, and the next thing I could do was wait for death.Mu Qingxiang walked in without saying a word, and I hurriedly stepped on the water to follow, and the sound of splashing sounded all over the tunnel.It is impossible to have an exit in the mudstone cave, I have confirmed it, not to mention that it is as difficult as heaven to design a secret door for this kind of mudstone cave.After a while, we came to the end of the mudstone cave. At this time, the water had already reached our thighs, and we could not stand firmly in the water. We needed to hold on to the mud wall to stabilize our standing posture.

Mu Qingxiang was groping around on the mud wall at the end. I really didn't understand, so I couldn't help asking: "What are you looking for? Is there something in the wall?" "The basement." Mu Qingxiang said while searching. "Aren't you kidding, if you can find them, will those two ancestors die here?" I couldn't laugh or cry. Mu Qingxiang ignored me and continued to go her own way, looking for the basement at the end.I was in a panic at first, but seeing Mu Qingxiang so calm, for some reason, I became less nervous.I looked at the water, they had risen up to my butt, but they stopped jumping up here.I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the backwash of sea water can only go to this extent, otherwise even if there is enough air, I would have been drowned long ago.

I felt uncomfortable in the tunnel, unable to move, I leaned against the mud wall and thought that it would be great if I had gills.Suddenly, I felt someone touch my inner thigh, itching me to death.There are only me and Mu Qingxiang in the mudstone cave, and there is no one else. Could it be that Mu Qingxiang is touching me.But she has been touching the mud wall at the end, and she doesn't bother to look at me, so she has no time to pay attention to me.Except for Mu Qingxiang, there are only those two bones, they will never come to touch me. Curiously, I shone my flashlight on the sea water, wanting to see who was so lustful, even I would not let it go.The water was so dark that the light from the flashlight was reflected off the surface, so it was hard to see what was in the water.My thigh itched so badly that I couldn't help it anymore, so I dared to touch it inside.I nervously grabbed the inside of my thigh, and felt as if my palm had been cut by a thorn, so I immediately retracted my hand in pain. Frightened, I slowly raised my legs, and when the trouser legs exposed the foamy water, I froze for a moment.It turned out that no one touched my thigh, but a group of blue-gray sea shrimps swam into the mudstone cave along the hole, and then all attached to my leg.It would be fine if there were only one or two, but now there is a large group, densely packed on my lap.The prawns were lazily swinging their sickle-like prawn legs, as if my legs were all rotten into pieces, and it was disgusting to watch. After lifting my legs, I frantically knocked out the shoals of shrimp with my flashlight, but as soon as they fell into the water, they rushed towards me again.The seawater stopped pouring in, but more and more shrimps swam in, and some even climbed up to my waist and left the seawater.If it was normal, I would definitely be elated, scoop up the shrimps, and grill them as appetizers. I thought that the shrimp group would harass Mu Qingxiang, but I just wanted to tell her to be careful, but I felt that my thighs were no longer itchy.I lowered my head in surprise and touched the water, but the prawns on my thighs were gone.I wondered, did Xiazi think my legs were not sexy and had changed his target?I fished in the water with my hand, and found a layer of shrimp lying on the bottom of the water, but they didn't move. I don't know if the shrimps need to sleep, but if they do, they can't all sleep. Could it be that they all fainted because of my thick thighs?I grabbed a few prawns out of the sea, they were motionless, their flesh stiffened, typical dead prawns.Just now the prawns were alive and well, but they all died in the blink of an eye. This must have nothing to do with my thick thighs, but how did they die? The prawns in the tunnel are almost dead, only a few are left to survive, but they will not live long.Faced with this sudden change, I was inexplicably nervous. Could it be that there were dangerous creatures in the seawater in the tunnel, which killed all the shrimps.I wanted to find a high place to stand on, but the caves were flooded, and no matter where I stood, my legs would have to step on the cold sea water.This kind of fear is very special. I know there is danger, but I don't know where the danger comes from. The more I can't find the reason for the death of the shrimp group, the more uneasy I feel. I was looking at the sea in a panic, when Mu Qingxiang turned to me and said, "There is a voice behind this wall." "Really? How is this possible." I asked suspiciously. The mud wall at the end is too thick for the two ancestors to dig through. Even if there is space behind, it is unlikely for us to dig through.I walked over in disbelief, and Mu Qingxiang asked me to lean against the mud wall to listen. Sure enough, I heard people's voices, but they were very vague, and I couldn't hear what they were saying.No one has broken into this mudstone cave for nearly a hundred years. Why are there still people talking behind the mud wall? Don't they need to eat and breathe? I was secretly surprised that such a person could never exist, unless there were ghosts or gods behind the mud wall.
