Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 108 Mine Cave
I walked at the front with a flashlight, looking back from time to time to check on the people behind me.Don't worry about whether the ground is strong for the time being, because this is a transportation road, so the load-bearing capacity should be very strong.

However, the load-bearing wooden frame above the mine does not look so reliable.Some places have already collapsed. I wonder if it will collapse suddenly and bury us alive inside.

Seeing that the mobile phone signal had disappeared, I was thinking that I must ask Liu Chunli to get us a satellite phone or something in the future. There is always no signal, which will delay things.

It was quite quiet in the mine at the beginning, but when we walked about 200 meters, there was a rustling sound from a dark corner inside.It could be a person, a small animal, or an evil creature from the dark.In this unknown and dark environment, even a fart will make us think wildly.

Looking back at the mine entrance, the light outside had disappeared.It seems that where we are now, it should be sloping downward to a certain depth. Since it extends gently downward, it does not feel obvious.And the surrounding temperature began to become cooler as we moved away from the outside world. On several occasions, we saw ice and snow buried in the crevices of the rocks.

The weird noises around are getting louder, and we have come to a fork in the mine.It looks like a crossroads layout, but in fact, there is a huge space here. There is a straight road directly opposite, but there are curved paths on both sides.It was still pitch black in the distance, and the naked eye could not see clearly where each road led.

Li Qing came to my side at this time and asked softly: "Thirteen, which way should we go?"

Judging from the position I came down, I think I should take the road on the right to reach the place where I felt resentment just now.In order to confirm this, I started to close my eyes and see if I could sense the guidance of resentment.

The surrounding sounds were already approaching, as if they were rushing towards us from all directions at the same time, which directly disturbed my sensitive nerves.

I opened my eyes and sighed helplessly: "Tsk, I think I should go to the right, but the noise bothers me and I can't sense the existence of Qi."

Li Qing saw me smacking my tongue and sighing, and stopped talking. He squatted down and checked whether there were any human footprints on the ground.After a while, he stood up and said to us: "Let's go to the right."

The search continued, but when we had only walked about [-] meters away, a water bubble appeared in front of us, blocking our way.For a while, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Li Qing picked up a rock and threw it towards the water. "Boom". After hearing the sound, Li Qing frowned and shook his head and said, "The water is not shallow. There is no need to take risks. Let's go another way."

The echo of the speech has not yet finished echoing in the mine, and the noise that has been bothering me seems to be not far away from us.The two little policemen frantically looked around with flashlights. Not long after, one of them told us that he seemed to have seen a rabbit.

How could there be rabbits in this mine?Li Qing hurriedly asked him suspiciously if he had misread it.

"Brother Li, it doesn't seem to be a rabbit, look, it's a big mouse!"

As soon as I finished speaking, more and more big rats appeared on the road when I called.At first glance, it looks like a rabbit, but when you get closer, it doesn't look so cute.

Gray fur, as if it had been "shaved by a ghost", mottled and messy, and some parts seemed to have psoriasis; small crimson eyes, swaying around; behind the bloated and huge body, hung a thick long His bald tail made my whole body stand upside down.

In the blink of an eye, the road behind was blocked by hordes of "rat army".The little policeman who mistook them for rabbits was stunned when he saw this terrifying scene, and said tremblingly, "Captain Li, what shall we do?"

Li Qing pretended to be calm and said: "What should I do? Get into the water and run!"

I didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so I took a step ahead and plunged into the water.Now our position should be at the waist of the mountain. The water is isolated from the world all year round, and it is icy cold, probably because the temperature here is blocked by the thick mountain.

At the beginning, I planned to blow the group of mice away with my breath, but I didn't know how many there were. I was afraid of delaying the best escape time, so I chose to avoid and not fight.Li Qing followed the panicked little policeman all the time, still speaking words of comfort.

This weird Li Qing is quite human sometimes.

We don't know how big the water bubble is, so we can only silently pray in our hearts that there will be dry land not far ahead.At this time, there was a sound of gurgling from the left side of my body.

Thinking about just now, another old policeman seemed to be in this position, why did he disappear all of a sudden?
Is it possible?I immediately put away my thoughts and swam to the left.After a while, the leg seemed to be grabbed by a hand.After quickly taking a deep breath, he dived into the water.

The water in this blister is not a blue sea.After being tossed by us, it has long become muddy.He could only touch the hand on his leg, and when he grabbed his shoulder, he immediately pulled him up.

In a few seconds, the old policeman was pulled out of the water, watching him cough a few mouthfuls of water, and when he recovered, I quickly asked him what was going on.

He said: "When I got into the water just now, I thought I could swim very well at first, but when I was swimming, I felt that my body sank, as if someone was crawling on my back." Taking a deep breath, I continued: "I turned around to see what was crawling on my back, but I seemed to see a woman with no flesh on her face, and then reached out and pressed my head under the water. , I didn’t have time to shout even if I wanted to.”

"Plop", the big mice behind us began to jump into the water one after another and swam toward us. Their speed was not much slower than ours.

I don't have time to worry about the supernatural events of the old policeman now, because the figures of Li Qing and the little policeman are out of my sight, so I hurriedly told the old policeman to swim forward quickly, and I followed him behind.

In this way, the old and the young, one after the other, began to flee.

Not long after, a wall appeared in front of him, and a feeling of disappointment swept over his body.But the old policeman continued to swim forward. After swimming to the wall, he took a deep breath, and then plunged into the water without moving.

I secretly thought it was wrong and quickly chased after him. My legs were already cramped due to being soaked in the cold water for a long time.After swimming hard to the wall, I quickly gathered my energy and unblocked my muscles.

The head of the old policeman stuck out from under the water and quickly said to me: "The water level here is very high, and the cave has been submerged. Team Li and the others should have dived from below. Let's get going."

I looked at the big rats swimming towards us in waves in the distance. This time I was in a dilemma. I would rather be drowned than be bitten alive by them.Thinking of this, he immediately took a deep breath and followed the old policeman into the water.

Under the water, I could see nothing but the old cop's feet dangling in front of my eyes.As if being deprived of the five senses, fear began to take root in my heart.

Recalling the feeling that I was about to suffocate in the water, the face of my wife came to my mind.Forget it, at worst, I will fight again to see if I can rush out like last time.

Fortunately, this fear did not last long, and we surfaced again.As soon as they came up, they saw Li Qing's expression turning from sadness to joy, and he was still saying something.

As expected of his experience, Li Qing lit a small bonfire on the shore early.As soon as he landed, he emptied the water in his ears, took off his clothes immediately, and started a fire trembling.

"Thirteen, what happened to you just now?"

The old policeman probably saw that my face was not good, so he hurriedly recounted what happened just now, bouncing up and down while talking.I imitated his movements, trying to recover my body temperature as soon as possible, and then said to Li Qing:

"It's nothing, maybe it's just the water ghost looking for a substitute. I have a jade pendant on me that can ward off evil spirits."

Hearing this, the old policeman said doubtfully that he also wore an amulet.I took a look at the jewelry he was wearing. It might be a small sword carved in peach wood, so I asked him to take it off and show it to me.

He took the peach wood sword and broke it with his hands. According to the preliminary judgment of the toughness of the wood, it is not peach wood.Simply break it off and throw it into the fire.

The old policeman yelled at me angrily: "What are you? Why did you get stuck by me?"

I quickly smiled and said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. You are not a peach tree, it may be a poplar tree. There is an old saying, don't plant mulberries in the front, don't plant willows in the back, and don't plant ghosts in the courtyard to clap your hands. Let's put it this way , if you wear a poplar sword, it is equivalent to wearing a life-threatening talisman."

Li Qing and the others laughed heartily, only the old policeman stood in front of the fire with a flushed face, speechless in embarrassment.

Li Qing, who was still smiling, suddenly changed his expression and told us to keep quiet.

"Hahaha,"

The sudden woman's laughter scared the four of us out of our wits again.

Li Qing cast his eyes on me, meaning to let me sense if there is any dirty thing XZ nearby.At this time, I was only wearing a pair of boxer shorts. If there was a female ghost nearby, I would definitely be the first to be harmed.

Put aside the evil thoughts in your head, concentrate quickly, and close your eyes to luck.If so, there was an ethereal resentment floating in the corridor in front left.

I told everyone about my discovery, and they were all silent.Not to mention the timid little policeman, even this experienced old policeman began to tremble.Older people naturally believe in these ghosts and gods, not to mention that he has seen them just once.

Li Qing showed no trace of fear from the beginning to the end.Looking at his calm expression, a classic saying came to my mind: ghosts are not scary, but people's hearts are scary.

Let's put aside the intermittent laughter and ignore it. We have to get dressed quickly, otherwise, we will not only have to worry about the laughing woman.
