Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Qu Bank

I don't know how long it took, but in the dimness, I felt that someone was patting my head all the time, but it always felt very far away. No matter what I did, I couldn't grasp that hand, as if I had sunk to the bottom of the water.It wasn't until finally, when a fire flashed past my eyes, that I felt my body quickly float to the surface of the water, and then I took a deep breath of air, my eyes seemed to be popped out, and there was still a force trying to break through my body and tear me apart. "Finally woke up, I thought you were going to die." When he opened his eyes, he saw Fan Li.

"You... It's been so hard for me to find you, no one has disappeared!" I saw Fan Li pouring out his bitterness immediately, regardless of the circumstances. "Take care of yourself first, didn't you tell you not to come down?" Fan Li said unhurriedly. "You think I want to come down? It's getting dark. You guys should at least send a letter and send someone back to report your safety. You thought you were all dead..." As I said this, I immediately remembered that a team member had died just now, "Yes It's over, someone in your team is dead!"

Fan Li didn't speak, just looked at me, but I felt that he had a lot to say.My current position is no longer the place where the mound collapsed just now, and the glazed surrounding is more serious, which means that I am now close to the explosion point of that year.Probably because there was a big explosion decades ago, the Karez here is easy to collapse, and maybe it was buried alive by accident.The Karez here may have a history of thousands of years, plus the big explosion decades ago, it may be in danger of collapsing at any time. In the Tuyugou Township of Shanshan County in the Huoyanshan Mountains, which is the village where we live, there is also a Karez well called Tuyuhong. It was dug in 1570 AD and has a history of 400 years.There is an ancient city site at the west dam of Shengjinkou Reservoir in Flame Mountain, and an ancient tomb group to the east of the site. Two pottery altars and pottery bowls were excavated near the reservoir. According to identification, they are cultural relics from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.There is also a 100-meter-long Karez well, the exit of which is only 30 meters away from the ancient tomb, and the ancient well has seven shafts.Each shaft is about 10 meters apart, and it is now dry, and a section of the exit has collapsed into an open channel.There is no arable land around the ancient well, and there is only one ancient city, which is estimated to provide domestic water for the ancient city.And that Karez well is the oldest Karez ruins discovered in Turpan so far, 1500 years ago.

I feel that the history of this karez may be longer than that of Shengjinkou, and the villagers seem to know that there is such an uninhabited village in the valley, but no one wants to mention it, and no one wants to come.Fan Li saw that I was too engrossed in my thoughts, so he patted my head again, and then he fully woke up.Now, I am lying on the ground, but I have no memory of how I met Fan Li or how I got here.Before losing consciousness, I remember Xu Shaode pointing at me and saying "ghost" and then ran away, and there was a lot of mucus oozing from my body.In fact, I was a little scared, because I didn't know what I had done, how could I become like a "sweet potato"?However, I have never done anything special, how did it become like this, why have I never noticed it?

"When you met me..." I hesitated and said, "Is there anything unusual about me?" "You've never been normal." Fan Li didn't answer directly. "What about the others, didn't you come down with them?" I asked anxiously. "They...don't worry about it, follow me to find something!" Fan Li got up and was about to leave. "Wait, wait, why am I confused!" I grabbed Fan Li, who was about to leave, and said, "What happened to them? If you don't save people, why are you looking for something?" "They all... just trust me once and come with me, otherwise... even you will have something to do!" Fan Li said it very sincerely, not like trying to scare people.

I was silent and confused, not knowing whether to trust him or not.Could he be an accomplice of those three villains?Although we have only known each other for four years, I don't think Fan Li should be that kind of person, although he is always a little mysterious.But it is about the life and death of the whole team, so I have to ask clearly.So, I asked again worriedly: "Then at least tell me, where did they all go?" "People are scattered, but if you want to save them, follow me." Fan Li said seriously. I thought suspiciously, got separated?Is this possible? There are more than 30 people in the whole team, how can they just break up?Besides, how did Fan Li become a person? What are they doing here?But since it is said to be confidential, it is inconvenient for me to ask more questions, as long as no one dies.And that Ava Guli, if he didn't stay at home properly, Xu Shaode was really serious about how he came here, and he didn't stop Awa Guli when he returned to the village.My head is about to explode, but I have no idea what happened!

"Are you coming or not?" Seeing that I was distracted, Fan Li asked. "Come, come, come." I instinctively replied, since I don't know the way anyway, I always feel at ease with a companion. When I walked, I was always on tiptoe, not daring to make any noise, for fear that if I made a loud noise, the underground drain would be collapsed, and that would be my own death.Fan Li looked back at me from time to time, not sure if he was worried that I would get lost or that I would turn into a ghost.The strange thing is that Fan Li didn't seem surprised by my strange appearance, and didn't seem to care at all. Of course, I didn't know what it was like after I lost consciousness.I don't know where my flashlight was thrown by myself. Now only Fan Li is holding a small flashlight in his hand. If I leave him, I will bump into it like a headless chicken.

After all, the reason given by Fan Li is too far-fetched, I can't believe it, and with the precedent of "sweet potato", I am afraid that the whole expedition team will have problems.Thinking of this, I quietly held the bow and crossbow in my hand, of course it hasn't been unfolded yet, it is now a square hard object.If you want to fight, at least you have a weapon in your hand, at least you have an inch of iron in your hand, so you won't suffer in vain.In fact, I am a bit self-deceiving, after all, I have also experienced abnormalities, but I just don't know what I have done to cause this.

Suddenly there were voices of people speaking in front of me again, and I knew it was the three villains. Their accents were very strong southern accents, and it was easy to distinguish them.After Fan Li turned off the flashlight, he immediately stuck it on the wall of the culvert. Seeing this, I followed suit.The three villains also seemed to have lost their way, and they turned around but couldn't find what they were looking for. They hoped that they weren't looking for what Fan Li was looking for, so a fight would be inevitable.They have guns and knives, but we don't know how to fight even if we have weapons.

"I found you!" A hand behind me patted my shoulder, and then said something loudly. Even though I was quite timid, I was really taken aback by being slapped and screamed by a woman in the dark.Looking back, it turned out to be Ava Guli!But unfortunately, the three villains had heard it, and before they found it, I immediately picked up the weak Avagul and ran to another channel.It's not that I'm afraid of those three damned gangsters, I'm worried about hurting the innocent. Although I don't like Ava Guli very much, I can't ignore the lives of others.When Fan Li saw me running away, he followed suit and did not confront the villain head-on.

"Damn it, there are still people here! Find someone here, or you won't be able to get that thing!" A ferocious voice sounded behind him. I wondered in my heart, what kind of rule is this if you have to catch someone before you can find it?Could it be that these three villains are also tomb robbers, but Karez cannot have a tomb.People in the Huoyanshan Mountains are very simple. They are taboo against ancient tombs, so they will definitely not put their tombs in Karez, their source of water. "I miss you so much!" Avagul suddenly kissed my cheek, making me blush with shame. If it wasn't because it was too dark and no one saw me, I would definitely want to get into the hole. "How did you come here?" Fan Li didn't know that this crazy woman had also come here. "Your people are dead...I'm afraid...so..." Ava Guli hesitated, but she was still very scared, so she kept approaching me, which made me very uncomfortable. Fan Li was sure that the villain hadn't found this place, so he asked Ava Guli to speak clearly about what happened between her and Xu Shaode. It turned out that the "sweet potato" had been unwell all the time. At night, he suddenly turned into a devil, oozing mucus and water all over his body. The most terrifying thing was that he spit out many red and black tentacles from his mouth.When Ava Guli was delivering food to "Sweet Potato", he was bumped into by accident, so she was attacked.Fortunately, Xu Shaode came back to return the grapes, and it took a lot of effort to save Ava Guli. I was a little surprised, Xu Shaode went back during the day, why did he arrive at the village at night, based on the footsteps, he could go back and forth in two hours.Later, Awaguli said that Xu Shaode encountered bandits as soon as he came out of the mountain, was beaten to death, and was forced to tell what the expedition team was here for.Xu Shaode is relatively stupid, he can't tell lies, and he really didn't know what the expedition team was here for, so he was tortured until night.Finally, he found an opportunity and fled back to the village.Immediately after saving Ava Guli, he took Ava Guli and escaped from the village.Unfortunately, he kept chasing them, but was forced back to the mountains, and happened to meet the gangsters who hadn't acted yet. Regardless of whether life is precious or not, the gangster shot "Sweet Potato" in the head on the spot, and Xu Shaode and the others were saved, but they fell into the wrong hands immediately.Thinking about it, they also had a lot of troubles and disasters.After listening to it, I realized that Xu Shaode reacted so violently just now, so it turned out that he had seen the horror of "Sweet Potato".I wondered in my heart, isn't the red and black tentacles a monster in the water, how could it come to people.In the place where the culvert collapsed, I found a dead team member. There were many round and large holes on his body. Now that I think about it, it seems that they were left after being pierced by tentacles, especially his seven orifices. "Fan Li, tell the truth, what happened to the team members!" I was extremely anxious, not about the life and death of the team members, but about Company Commander Wang and Xu Shaode.Although I don't have much emotion at ordinary times, but in times of danger, my heart is full of ups and downs, and my mind is full of them. "Yes, they are all the same as what Ava Guli said, they have all..." Fan Li didn't finish his sentence. Awaguli and I were speechless. I never thought that the underground ditch was already full of monsters. Isn't this the sheep that has fallen into the tiger's mouth?Ava Guli held my arm tightly, and I was not in the mood to break free at this moment, only thinking about whether I would also become that terrible look.After sighing, I suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Fan Li on the opposite side. If something happened to all the team members, why was he the only one safe and sound?
