hearse drift

As expected, not long after they came up from the mine at noon, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it didn't take long for it to rain.

In this weather, thunderstorms often come to the land, and the rain is heavy. For safety reasons, the mine must not be lowered.

Because they couldn't go down the mine, the miners sat in the cafeteria, talking and laughing about their daily routine.

Xie Baiyuan was sitting alone by the window. His skin was as white as jade, and his temperament was as cold as a cloud of winter snow. He seemed too out of place among a bunch of shirtless absenteeism.

Fang Li took two cups of hot tea and sat side by side with him. He was also different, his outstanding appearance and temperament fundamentally set up a barrier for him, separating him from the surrounding environment.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that after Lin Feifei's accident, Xie Baiyuan's performance was too unique. Everyone looked at him with devilish eyes, and even Fang Li put on a mysterious filter.

However, in fact, two seemingly mysterious people are chatting with each other.

Xie Baiyuan said: "We will knock on the door of 207 in a while."

"Ah?" Fang Li hesitated: "Are you really going to knock it? Don't you want to die?"

Xie Baiyuan asked instead: "Do you believe me?"

This is not just a simple question of trust, it also involves whether one's life can be saved.

Fang Li gritted his teeth: "I believe."

Xie Baiyuan smiled, and pressed his hand on the back of Fang Li's head very naturally, just like yesterday, he kissed him lightly on the forehead, "So good."

This time it was in public, with more than 100 shirtless old men behind them.Fang Li suddenly blushed.

He wanted to tell Xie Baiyuan to pay attention, but he heard Xie Baiyuan whisper in his ear: "Wait, Guo Xiangming is here."

Fang Li turned his head and saw Guo Xiangming smiling and sitting opposite them.

Xie Baiyuan put his hand on Fang Li's shoulder and pressed it lightly, and Fang Li immediately received his brain waves, so he stopped struggling.

"You two are in such a good mood." Guo Xiangming pointed to the hundreds of people behind Fang Li and the others, meaning that they were actually able to flirt with each other in front of so many people in the survival dungeon.

Xie Baiyuan's hand on Fang Li's shoulder changed to lightly pinching his earlobe, as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in Guo Xiangming's words, he said casually: "You don't understand, this is for fun."

His leg under the table lightly touched Fang Li, and Fang Li was so happy that he immediately acted like a little bird, showing that he enjoyed this kind of fun.

Although it was the first time to perform, and the performance was too forceful, it seemed a bit fake, but he clearly saw that Guo Xiangming was disgusted by the sour smell emitted by the two of them.

Guo Xiangming's expression twisted for a few seconds, he gave up the topic, and changed the subject: "I'm here to discuss something with you."

Xie Baiyuan didn't speak.

Guo Xiangming said: "Take me through this dungeon."

Xie Baiyuan activated the taunting skill, and said bluntly: "You can't even pass the copy of the sixth car now?"

"..." Guo Xiangming was at a loss for words, "You just think my intelligence has declined."

Xie Baiyuan's tone was still cold: "Well, it's really stupid, and I can't even do a good job of sowing discord."

Guo Xiangming: "...too much."

Sitting on the side, Fang Li obediently played the role of Xiaoniaoyiren. Although he didn't know the relationship between the two, he could tell that they were old acquaintances and had a deep friendship.

"Although it is true that we don't like each other, we have known each other for so many years." Guo Xiangming played the emotional card, "And as a reward, I will give this to your little pet."

He untied a necklace from his neck and pushed it in front of Xie Baiyuan.

Fang Li finally realized that the "little pet" was talking about himself, and before he had time to argue with this person, his attention was attracted by the necklace that Guo Xiangming pushed over.

This necklace is strung with a silver oval ornament with a red string, like a pocket watch, and also like a pebble, with a dragon and a phoenix engraved on the upward side, and a balance seems to be carved in the middle.

Most importantly, this necklace is exactly the same as the one on Xie Baiyuan's neck.

Xie Baiyuan narrowed his eyes, picked up the necklace and played with it in his hands, and instead of directly agreeing, he asked, "Is it worth it?"

His eyes had already passed Guo Xiangming, Fang Li followed his gaze, and what he saw was the gentle side face of the long-haired girl who was roommate with Guo Xiangming.

Guo Xiangming said firmly, "It's worth it."

He looked at Fang Li who was leaning on Xie Baiyuan's shoulder: "I think your little pet also needs this very much. Of course, if you are not going to give it to him, you can wait until the true love you have been looking for appears before giving it away."

Xie Baiyuan raised his eyebrows, "After you become stupid, your ability to sow discord has not improved."

After speaking, he hooked Fang Li.

Fang Li understood, and obediently leaned his head over.

Xie Baiyuan wiped the entire necklace and put it on Fang Li's neck, and Guo Xiangming heaved a sigh of relief.

Xie Baiyuan closed his eyes, and said in a very flat tone, "I will only help you for the last time."

Guo Xiangming took a deep look at the two of them, didn't speak any more, got up and went back to the girl with long hair.

As soon as the person left, Fang Li immediately got up from Xie Baiyuan's arms.

Xie Baiyuan smacked his lips, as if he was a little regretful why this person left so soon, and didn't give him and Fang Li more opportunities to perform.

"He and that girl..." Fang Li hesitated to speak, he was full of curiosity, but he didn't want to gossip about other people's secrets.

Xie Baiyuan said, "Want to hear a story?"

Fang Li asked vigilantly, "A bedtime story?"

The corner of Xie Baiyuan's mouth curled up: "No." He squinted at Fang Li, "So you don't like listening to my bedtime stories."

Fang Li: "..." If you don't scare me with ghost stories, I can still consider listening to them.

His reaction completely amused Xie Baiyuan, Xie Baiyuan stopped his smile and said seriously: "I met him in the tenth carriage before."

Fang Li: "No. [-]? Is he that good?" I didn't see it, Comrade Guo Xiangming seemed to be on the same level as himself.

"That was before," Xie Baiyuan said, "He used to be a genius in the true sense, and he was also very good at escape games, so he was always handy when deciphering clues in dungeons."

"Later, he met a naturally stupid woman and fell in love with her. In order to keep her alive, he voluntarily exchanged his intelligence for a stupid woman in a dungeon."

"Afterwards, he could only wander around between the sixth and eighth carriages. Judging from the current situation, he should almost be unable to support the sixth carriage. I just don't know how many times he can hide in the seventh carriage."

No matter how good the No. [-] car is, it can only stay three times in a row, otherwise the train will forcefully send the two of them to other cars.

Therefore, for Guo Xiangming, every minute and every second is the countdown of his life.

Fang Li looked at the backs of the two people holding hands. If Xie Baiyuan hadn't said anything, he would never have thought that Guo Xiangming was such an affectionate person.

He suddenly wanted to sigh with Xie Baiyuan: Is it worth it?

"What are you thinking?" Xie Baiyuan asked suddenly.

Fang Li said, "How long have you known him?"

Xie Baiyuan frowned and recalled, hesitantly said: "It seems to be seven or eight years, I can't remember clearly."

Fang Li was surprised: "So long?"

Xie Baiyuan said: "I forgot to tell you, as long as normal people stay on the train, the time on their bodies will stop. In other words, as long as you can survive, staying on the train for 100 years is not a problem."

Fang Li pursed his lips. He wanted to ask Xie Baiyuan how long he had been in the car again. Seeing him like this... Could it be that he has been there for 100 years?

Surprising as it is, it's not impossible for this train.

Xie Baiyuan looked at him and smiled meaningfully: "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing." Fang Li shook his head quickly, afraid that Xie Baiyuan would see if he was complaining about him in his heart, whether it was his grandfather's business, so he changed his words and said, "If it were you, would you think it was worth it to trade out your intelligence?" ?”

Unexpectedly, Xie Baiyuan seriously considered this question for three seconds, and gave him the answer with a firm expression: "It's worth it, not only for intelligence, but also for my death in exchange for his life."

When Xie Baiyuan said "Take my death for his life", the deep affection in his eyes almost made Fang Li feel as if he was submerged in sea water.He was stunned by this answer for a few seconds, and when he was about to organize his words, Xie Baiyuan suddenly smiled, and the affectionate and firm look just now was swept away: "You just acted too greasy, learn from me."

Fang Li: "..." On the verge of beating someone, he frantically tried.

Xie Baiyuan continued: "And the effect has been achieved. Remember in the future, when chatting with someone you don't like, your purpose is not to persuade the other party, but to piss the other party off."

Fang Li: "Got it."

He reached out and touched the necklace around his neck. The silver pendant became warm quickly after being touched by human body temperature.

Seeing his movements, Xie Baiyuan said: "The necklace must be worn all the time. Although the main function has failed, it is still good as a talisman. It will play a role at critical moments, and it may save your life."

It turned out to be something that could save his life. Fang Li put the necklace into his neckline, as if he had received a resurrection coin, and suddenly felt that his life was more protected.

It was raining harder and harder outside, and the old miner was surrounded by a bunch of miners. During the conversation, the topic changed from the weather to a water seepage accident that happened here many years ago.

In that sudden water seepage accident, the underground coal miners dug into the underground river, just in time for the heavy rain, the rescue team had no time to rescue, and the workers were almost wiped out in it.

The old miner was one of the survivors of the water seepage accident.

The other miners present here actually didn't know much about the accident, they just heard something from others, so they took this opportunity to eagerly ask the old miner for confirmation.

"Old Li, I heard that four people died in that accident, but they were suppressed. Is it true?"

The old miner known as Lao Li dusted off the cigarette ash with a displeased expression on his face: "Why did four people die? You listen to nonsense about this matter. Don't spread rumors without evidence."

The young miner who had been scolded couldn't hold back his face, so he confessed: "I heard from the woman in the back kitchen."

Lao Li pinched his cigarette and cursed casually: "That gossip!"

Everyone who was a bit vigilant raised their ears at this time, because this seemingly unusual content of the conversation was likely to be a clue.

At this time, there was a sudden thunder outside, and the rain poured down.

Because of the thunder, there seemed to be some trouble with the electric switch, and the lights in the whole building went out, causing a small commotion among the miners.

Fang Li suddenly caught a strange sound amidst the pattering rain.

The sound was very weak, especially in the rainstorm, it was almost inaudible, but Fang Li felt that it was not an illusion, it seemed that someone was calling for help above their heads.

He tugged Xie Baiyuan's sleeve and pointed upstairs with his finger.

Xie Baiyuan: "What's wrong?"

Fang Li: "It seems that someone up there is calling for help."

But everyone gathered in the cafeteria, who could be there?Could it be that pair of siblings?

At the same time, someone suddenly said, "Where's Ge Qiuping? I haven't seen him since morning."

Ge Qiuping was the supervisor responsible for leading Fang Li and others to work.

Wu Hongkang scratched his head and said, "He seemed to say in the morning that he was going to visit the two residents of 207."

Hearing this sentence, the old miner stood up abruptly, his expression changed, his hands even shook, and the half-choked cigarette butt rolled to the ground.
