The Tibetan mastiff let out a deep, deep, and infinitely penetrating whining sound.The light source also shone here, and at the same time, a voice shouted: "Brother Fat, I thank you two for your hospitality!"

The hunchback in front didn't get angry, and got out of the hole in a few steps, and I quickly followed.

Speaking of getting out, in fact, this place is not much bigger than the original passage, but at least people can stand upright.

This is an oval-shaped cave, and at first glance, one can see a person sitting cross-legged on the ground. If there are any characteristics of this person, the first one must be fat, the type with strong muscles and a circle of fat.Second, count the white lock of hair in the middle of his forehead.I don't know if this dazzling white hair is natural or dyed, and the facial features on a slightly round face are very three-dimensional.He looked quite like that guy at first, but when he saw this guy drinking the last canned yellow peach, the hunchback immediately jumped up: "You! You stole from us?!"

Unexpectedly, the other party was unhurried, aftertaste for a while, and said slowly:

"Hey~ If so, it's called borrowing. I will definitely pay you back, big brother!"

As the fat man said, he poured the last sugar water into his mouth meaningfully.

"What a fart!" The hunchback did not show any weakness: "In the current situation, how can this food be measured by money?!"

"I didn't say I would pay you back!" Fatty was still so unhurried: "Just treat it as if I owe you favors! Fatty, I always repay favors~"

"You!..." The hunchback still wanted to quarrel with him, but I held him back: "Forget it, he's already eaten, just treat it as if he owes us his life!"

"Hey, I said little brother, how come I owe you my life after a few bites?"

"How many mouthfuls is this? That's our food ration for a few days!"

The hunchback worked so hard to carry the rations for so many days, and it was gone all of a sudden. He was really annoyed: "People have nothing to eat, so give it to the dogs! When did I promise to give it to you? You are steal!"

"Who said the tiger ate it?!" The fat man suddenly became irritable for some reason, stretched out his fat finger and said, "Look at it! Take a good look! It ate the tiger's share." No?!"

We turned our heads to look in the direction it pointed, and sure enough, there were several bags of beef next to the Tibetan mastiff. Judging from the quantity, the basic meat was there.

Suddenly, there was silence in the cave.

After a long time, the hunchback went over, picked up a bag of beef, opened the bag, and reluctantly put it in front of the Tibetan mastiff.

As soon as the bag was opened, a burst of aroma came, and the dog stretched out its tongue to lick it, and the saliva flowed down the corner of its mouth.

"Eat it!" Luo Guo pinched the packaging bag, and the whole piece of beef was squeezed out from inside: "You are a man!"

"Hey!~~~" The fat man said again: "That's the truth~~~" He patted the dog's head proudly: "Tiger, eat! No one said you were a thief! I was the one who stole the food, It's not you! You are willing to give it to me!"

I was speechless. The dog bit the piece of meat squeezed out by the hunchback, swallowed it without chewing, and wagged its tail.

The hunchback softened, looked at the remaining meat, and opened another pack for it.

After eating two pieces of beef, this dog is really a good dog. He seemed to understand it, and instead of waiting for the third piece, he ran directly to his master and lay down.

At this time, the whole atmosphere eased down.

"Sit down! Huzi's brother is my brother!" The fat man sat cross-legged against the dog.

"What are you talking about, who and the dog are brothers?" The hunchback still didn't like the fat man.

I pulled him to sit down together, after all, now is not the time to quarrel, the most important thing is to learn more information.

"Let's stop arguing for now, okay? If you still have food, the tiger won't take it from us. Even the tiger knows that the food should be left to the owner, which shows how important food is. We now You must go out as soon as possible, this big brother must have been here for a long time, can you tell us something about what you know?"

"I don't eat this food for free. For fat people, starving to death is really the worst way to die. If I owe you my life, that's okay!" Fatty heard me say the word "huzi" , the whole expression changed immediately, I silently thought in my heart: How deep is the relationship between these two...

After the fat man finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his clothes: "This is the general situation of the underground that I drew." After saying this, he spread the piece of paper and placed it between the four of us.

The hunchback and I immediately moved over. At first glance, they were all messy threads. I frowned and looked at him with embarrassment. The fat man was very understanding, and immediately explained: "Ha, brother, I'm sorry. I'm not very good at drawing, you fat brother, so let's do it, I'll translate it!"

So, he stretched out his fat hand and began to point on the map: "This is the Himalayas, this is Mount Everest, and this is Qinghai Lake..."

I looked at where he pointed, at the graffiti and the place he said, and I really couldn't combine the two.So much so that we didn't understand what he said for a long time.

"This... Fat brother, what you said is a bit too profound, we don't quite understand it..." I helplessly interrupted his eloquent talk.

"Ah? What? I don't understand..." The fat man clicked his tongue twice, thought for a while and said, "Then let me put it this way, this Shenmu..."

The word "Shenmu" exploded in my head like thunder, and a burst of cold sweat broke out all over my body. I looked at the hunchback, and this guy's expression also changed.

The fat man looked at us strangely: "What's wrong? It's strange that I know Shenmu?"

"..."

Seeing that I was speechless, the fat man laughed hahaha: "People who come here don't know about Shenmu?" After a pause, he saw that we could accept it, so he continued: "This Shenmu It will be like a person, you see, once this person is physically and mentally exhausted and scarred, many things can easily invade. In this meeting, if it is a kind help, it can help her recover, if it is malicious The erosion of her body may change her entire nature."

When the fat man said this, he found that the hunchback was staring at him: "Why are you looking at me? I'm just here to do some private business, and I have nothing to do with Shenmu, but I know the principle. If it weren't for this time, people like me Yes, absolutely no one can come in." Then, the fat man looked at us: "Apart from you, how many factions are there here? What are you here for?"

I didn't know how to say it for a while: "This... I can't explain a few sentences, so let me introduce myself first. My name is Fang Renyi, and his name is Luo Wei." As I said, I gestured to the hunchback, Seeing the hunchback's unreasonable expression, I could only continue to say: "I said you can call him hunchback. You guys should not be so confrontational if you are fat and thin. It is fate that you can meet here. gone."

"Well, that's fine, just call me big brother!"

"It's hard to say who's older." The hunchback seemed to be really incompatible with the fat man: "I'm already a fat man, so why don't people call him a fat man."

"Oh, that's fine!" I was a little dumbfounded: "You can call it whatever you want, let's get down to business, we are here to help people save Shenmu."

After hearing what I said, Fatty suddenly turned his head to look at Huzi, with a look of enlightenment: "No wonder..."

"What?" I was at a loss...

"No, it's nothing." The fat man looked like he was hiding something, but I couldn't ask, and he understood, and immediately made up for it: "If you want to know anything else, just ask me, and I'll tell you everything I know."

Obviously, the fat man's tone improved a lot, and I immediately seized the opportunity: "Let me tell you about you first, why are you stuck here? Is there any other way to get out?"

"When you say going out, do you mean going out from here or to the ground?"

"Go out from here and find the entrance of the Shenmu."

After the fat man listened, something I couldn't understand suddenly flashed in his eyes, he frowned a little dignifiedly and said; "I don't know how many days I have been here, the map just now is based on the map left by my father , I drew it from memory." After saying this, he paused: "I'm just here for some personal business, so let's put my business aside and focus on it."

I nodded to express my cooperation with him, and signaled him to continue talking.

"I understand what you mean. I want to save the Shenmu desperately, but now I don't know how to save it, and I don't know where to save it."

"I've been stuck here for a long time. In my own words, if you want to say where the Shenmu is, in fact, it's everywhere..."

As soon as the fat man said this, I tensed up, as if I was holding my breath, and looked at the fat man intently. Although I really wanted to ask what this meant, I didn't want to interrupt him. I wanted to hear a few words from him. Next say.

"Hey, let me tell you, don't stare at you fat guys like that. Although my face is a bit handsome, I feel uncomfortable being stared at like this."

The fat man seemed a little unsure of what to say, and felt that he wanted to break the topic and rationalize his thoughts. The two of us immediately nodded in agreement: "Ah, I'm sorry, go on, go on!"

"Actually, I'm not sure, but I've been walking here for many days. These passages change from time to time. Sometimes they don't change for more than ten hours, and sometimes they change several times in a few minutes. So, I feel that these The rock wall is likely to be a part of Shenmu."

"Really? That is to say, maybe at some point, the place where we are sitting now will change?"

"Yeah. It's going to be weird, I don't know if I blew a hole in it or because you guys came in, it hasn't changed in a long time."

"Okay, so what does it mean everywhere?"

"I heard this from my father before. Shenmu is a concept. Wherever you say she is, she will be there. However, in the place of Mount Everest, she has a relatively concentrated consciousness. To put it bluntly, she is very Strong memory."

"What is this? You say this Shenmu is still conscious?" The hunchback immediately began to show doubts about what the fat man said. If I hadn't pulled his clothes and hinted, the two probably started to fight again.

"These things are indeed too profound, and I feel that the usual knowledge reserves are not enough." I smoothed things over: "By the way, how did you know we were on top? And how did you blow up this side?"

"It's not so profound. Human cognition is a very small part of the world. You see, the world seen by other animals is completely different from ours," he said, stroking the Tibetan mastiff lovingly , it seems that the fat man is quite kind by nature. Seeing that I was so confused, he began to talk to me in detail: "Didn't I just say that I have been sleepy here for a long time. This underground path is different every day. Even if the tiger is there, there is no way to find the exit. If you want to say how do you know you are up there, it is because you and the tiger are destined." When the fat man said this, the Tibetan mastiff looked at me together with him. , looks, eyes, are surprisingly similar, really hit what others said, this dog has been raised for a long time, it looks like its owner.

"My fate with Huzi?"

"Yeah." Fatty nodded slightly, patted Huzi and said, "You don't believe me when I tell you about this, but you can slowly understand it later. Well, that's my usual style, Fatty, in the future , the more you see it, the more you will get used to it~"

I don’t even know what to say in this conversation. Thinking about it, other things are really not important. The important thing is to get out of here. Thinking about it, I immediately said: "Okay, other things are not important, let’s get down to business , how do we get out now?"

"Isn't this thing done yet? There's still some meat, why are you in such a hurry to go out?" The fat man shook his body and stood up abruptly. As soon as he stood up, I realized that this guy is not only fat, but also He is very tall, he shouldn't be called fat, he should be called big and fat!

The hunchback saw that this guy was about the same height as him, but his volume was more than twice his own, so he must have been very unconvinced and hummed something.

But the fat man seemed to have heard it: "I said, thin man, don't be shy, wait a while to see your fat brother, I am flexible~" Then he turned to me and said, "Little brother, we are indeed destined , Seeing you here, this place seems to be more secure, maybe I will be able to walk out of this alley now."
