Chapter 137: The Cold Wall
Shen Ke and Xu 'Lu' didn't care too much, and said one after another: "As long as you're okay." The e-book is finished for download. β
"Hey, you guys say it's all my fault that the rope breaks!" I said angrily as I looked at the other end of the rope.
Shen Ke pouted: "It's your fault, who told you not to find a strong place when you tie the rope." β
I didn't have time to refute him, and when I saw that the rope was broken, my face had become difficult to look at.
"I'm afraid this rope didn't break because the tie was unstable, or it broke naturally!" I said in a deep voice, pointing to the broken wound and saying, "Look here, there are marks of hard objects on all sides of the rope. β
"You're saying someone deliberately cut the rope?" Shen Ke was taken aback.
I shook my head in confusion and said, "I don't know, if it is cut with a knife, the fracture of the rope should be very neat, but looking at these marks, it is obvious that something is constantly rubbing back and forth." β
As soon as the words came out, the four of us suddenly shuddered.
"Forget it, since the wood is already in the boat, let's look around for other exits first." I exhaled, a little tired.
Shen Xue looked at me with blinking eyes, looked at my backpack again, and suddenly smiled: "Ye Bu Si, is there nothing in your treasure chest that can let us out?" β
I glared at her angrily, "You really think I'm Tinker Bell!" β
"Angry! Angry! Xiao Ya is so stingy! Shen Xue stuck out her tongue and was silent.
He took out a candle from his backpack, issued one for each person, and after lighting it, the entire secret room suddenly brightened up a lot, and the fog didn't seem to be as dense as before.
Only then did I fully see that the place we were in was a square space of about 300 square meters. The ground was covered with stone slabs, and the soil on the walls had fallen off in many places, and there were pits, and the roots of countless plants had sprung up on them, probably the roots of the silver cinnamon and peony 'medicine' that we found above.
These damn plants, their feet are too long! Ignoring the basic theories of botany at all, I'm afraid that the crazy uncle will see it, and it's strange if he doesn't really go crazy!
For some reason, when I see these non-attacking, immobile roots, I feel 'hairy' and creepy, like they are full of eyes, and they are patiently waiting, waiting for the first chance to swallow us all.
The four of them searched for more than an hour, but they didn't get anything at all, and there seemed to be only one exit, which was the place where we entered, but unfortunately now we could only look at it with our eyes, watching the sunlight that 'shoot' in it become more and more dim, and finally we couldn't detect it with our eyes wide open.
Looking at the watch, it was already half past six in the afternoon, and the long night of Guyun Mountain came again, but what was different was that we did not stay in the warm and comfortable nest and eat a hearty dinner with everyone, but sat cold and hungry back to back, sitting on the cold stone slab.
"Everyone's hungry, right?" Tiredly, I rummaged through my backpack, took out some chocolates and a few bottles of mineral water, and handed them to them.
"You still say you're not Tinker Bell!" Shen Xue took the things in my hand and played a poor mouth.
"Eat, don't choke!" I glanced at Xu 'Lu' and Shen Ke, and deliberately pulled Shen Xue away.
"What?" Shen Xue didn't know what she was thinking, and her face flushed slightly.
I put my index finger to my mouth: "Shhh Give them a little 'private' space, and I'd like to see what that wooden fish head can say. Hey, I'm really looking forward to it! β
Shen Xue was hit hard and pinched my arm: "Your guy's interest is really bad!" β
"Everyone is each other!" I took a hard bite of the chocolate and replied.
Not far away, the two imbeciles who had not yet graduated from the emotional kindergarten were silent with each other, and this silence lasted for an unknown amount of time, until our two ears were sore and the bad addicts complained greatly.
"That, little 'Lu', I'm ......" Shen Ke finally spoke.
Xu Lu, who was sitting back to back with him, turned his head slightly to the side and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"It's about the frost widow...... I ......"
The corner of the guy's mouth was clumsy and wanted to explain, but Xu 'Lu' immediately interrupted him coldly: "Is Frost Widow your fiancΓ©e?" She's a good girl, and I hope you don't break her heart. You must know that your 'sex' personality is really not good, and it is very hard to follow your 'girl'! β
"I'm nothing to do with her! Really nothing! Shen Ke's voice became louder, he turned around sharply, and looked straight into Xu 'Lu's eyes: "Little 'Lu', she is just a good friend of my childhood sweetheart, although the parents of both sides have tied us together, but I have always regarded her as a sister!" β
Xu Lu's whole body trembled, she turned her head, desperately avoiding his gaze: "Why are you telling me this?" β
"Because of me! I! Shen Ke stammered.
Shen Xue's and I hearts suddenly reached the highest point.
Come on, friend, it's the last step!
I secretly encouraged him in my heart.
It's a pity that he 'wasted' my encouragement in vain, and he was bored for a while before he could hold back a sentence: "Because I don't want to lose your friend!" Little 'Lu', we're friends, right! β
Hearing only a "plop" sound, Shen Xue and I both fell to the ground. No way! Not only is that guy sluggish, but he's also super gutsless! It's a shame to be his friend!
"Friend...... Hmph, huh? Xu 'Lu' said lightly: "Don't worry, even if you fight for a lifetime, I am also your friend, and I will not feel ashamed!" β
This sentence is too poisonous! No wonder as the saying goes, the most poisonous 'woman' heart, I think the hurt resentful 'woman' is even more poisonous......
I couldn't bear to eavesdrop any longer, so I took a big sip of mineral water and said to the silent Shen Xue: "Are you sleepy?" I borrow your shoulder for free, and I will never take advantage of you, I'm a gentleman! β
"The devil believes you! If you are a gentleman, I am Lao Tzu. Shen Xue shrugged her nose cutely, but still leaned her head lightly on my shoulder.
I leaned my back against the wall and hugged her.
Shen Xue let me hold her in my arms, looked at the constantly beating flame of the candle not far away without blinking, and asked softly, "Xiaoye, can we still go out?" β
"Of course you can, if the Shen family finds out that we are missing, they will definitely send someone to look for us."
"If they don't find out...... What if they can't find us, or if we're dead? "How can there be so many possibilities." I laughed, "Maybe the search party will come later." Shen Xue still didn't believe it, and continued to murmur: "I'm eighteen years old, and I can't even die without even a first 'kiss', I'm really unwilling!" β
