Seven Evil Slips Chapter 19:

Kiyo hesitated in his heart, thinking that it would not be good for him to sleep on the wet ground, but he was awkward and didn't want him to come up. When he turned his head to look, he put the tactical bag under his body and sat cross-legged, his back slightly Leaning against the stone wall, there will be no other movement soon.

It is actually possible to sleep while sitting, Kiyo watched for a while, and suddenly felt melancholy, curled up, sleeping alone, the rope bed could not be opened, and felt like a small animal caught in a net.

He fell asleep in a daze, and it lasted until dawn.

It's just what I think is "daylight". Day and night are not so clear in the cave, and the light can't tell anything from the brightness.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Luo Ren squatting halfway in front of the rope bed, looking at her thoughtfully.

Kiyo was taken aback, and sat up unsteadily: "What are you doing?"

Luo Ren frowned: "Kiyo, do you know that you snore and drool when you sleep?"

What?

The blood all over Kiyo's body rushed to his face at once. This kind of shame is more embarrassing than a hungry stomach growling.

Absolutely not, not even in death.

She was furious: "Nonsense!"

Luo Ren smiled and pinched her chin: "Yeah, it's just nonsense."

He stood up, crossed his hands and made an upward stretch: "Get up, move around, and then receive the meal."

Unhappy, Kiyo moved his shoulders and neck perfunctorily, and went to Luo Ren to get another small bar of chocolate.

In fact, the taste is not very good, but at the moment, it is the only delicious food in this huge hole.

Put it in your mouth, reluctant to bite, hold it in your mouth, and wait for it to melt by itself.

Luo Ren wrapped the remaining chocolate and put it back in his pocket, Kiyo asked him: "Have you eaten?"

"Eat."

Luo Ren looked down at the time on his phone, it was eight in the morning.

In a daytime, you can't stay in the city of sorrow with nothing to do.

He asked Kiyo: "Have you thought about how to get out?"

Kiyo looked up at the top of the cave: "I can try to climb again."

Climb again? Thinking about it, when she fell down yesterday, she was at a high place.

"Let's not say that it is inconvenient for you to climb now, what will happen after you climb up? That flap has a mechanism, and you can't just push it open."

Kiyo was not convinced: "Climb up and study it again. None of us have looked at the flap carefully-maybe we can find a way if we look closely."

Luo Ren said: "Put your hope on 'maybe'. If you can't find a way to open the flap, then you have to work hard to climb down? Is climbing fun? It's a waste of energy."

He looked around the cave, his eyes resting on the lowest point on the edge of the cave.

"That night, when it rained the most, the cave was full of water?"

Kiyo nodded, pointing to the high place where he slept at that time: "The place where I sleep is already the highest, and the water is flooded under me."

Luo Ren pondered for a moment: "But you're going to retire soon?"

It seems to be, anyway, it didn't take too long, and I wanted to find another sip of water to drink before climbing, but the water was completely submerged.

Luo Ren picked up the machete that Kiyo threw aside, held the handle, and knocked the blade on the ground with a bang, and there was a sound of gold and stone.

He walked and tried in the hole, knocking on many places one after another, and finally squatted down on the low-lying place, beckoning Kiyo to come over.

First pointing to the hole: "Over there, it is almost a whole stone slab, which is equivalent to a stone tire, and it is impossible for water to soak it."

Speaking of this, with a backhand, the blade hit the low-lying place, and there was another sound of gold and stone.

Kiyo looked at him: "This is also a stone."

Luo Ren turned on the flashlight, took a photo as close as possible, and stretched out his hand to brush a few on the ground: "The stones here are not a whole piece, there are joints between the stones, the bottom must be soil, otherwise, the water will I can't soak it."

Kiyo asked: "So?"

Luo Ren sat back, the flashlight flicked between his fingers, and the light circle suddenly reversed on the stone wall.

"The depth of this cave is very large. According to the height of this mountain, it is already close to the ground. If there is soil underneath, it means there is a road."

"What way?"

"The road dug out."

Kiyo smiled exaggeratedly: "Are you authentic?"

Smile and stop laughing, looking at Luo Ren's face, why do you think it looks serious?

"Really dig?"

"How old are you, do I still tease you?"

Luo Ren hung the tactical bag on the protruding place of the rock wall, pushed the flashlight away and tied it tightly in the hand to illuminate it, tried the machete twice, but felt that it was not easy, put it aside first, and pulled out the dagger, Scrape continuously between the thin cracks of two adjacent stones, move the dense soil aside, and quickly scrape a thin crack.

Kiyo still feels unreliable: "Is it really digging? It will take a few years..."

I wanted to continue to say something discouraging, but when I saw Luo Ren glaring at her, he fell silent resentfully.

***

Wow, wow, wow.

The stones are tightly embedded, and the first piece is the most difficult and most important to remove. Luo Ren's dagger has already scratched around the periphery of the stone a few times, and there are gaps on all sides. .

Sitting on the side, Kiyo kept watching with his chin in his hands, and then he said: "It seems to be a tooth that grows in the ground. No matter how hard you pull it out, you can't pull it out."

Luo Ren's forehead was sweating, and she was so happy to say: "I've been busy here for a long time, did you write a modern poem? Come here!"

Shifeng is a bit narrow, he can't reach it with his hand, and Kiyo's is much slender, he probed along the crevice of the stone as instructed, and when he stretched out, it was full of wet mud.

It seems that the dagger is not long enough, and the machete re-entered the stage, sticking to the crack of the stone and poking down hard, and then there was a sound of gold and stone.

Does this mean that the head is still a stone? But that's not right, if they are all stone tires, how did the water soak them in?

After thinking about it, the machete continued to scrape on all sides. When it was finally taken out, it shook the stone. Pressure gone.

Luo Ren's heart moved, which meant that the stone bottom was loose.

He looked at Kiyo with a smile: "I will teach you how to pull out this ground tooth."

He chose two pieces that were side by side with this one, and made them in the same way, scraped out the seam mud, and after the bottom surface was completely loose, he put his heel against a stone crack and pushed hard.

With a bang, the three pieces were squeezed together, leaving a wide slit on the side that could allow the whole hand to reach down.

Then the dagger was upside down against the inner surface of the palm, holding your breath, and inserted your hand vertically.

The stones were neither square nor round, and rolled away. Luo Ren took off the flashlight and looked closely. There was another layer of stones under this layer, but they were stacked skillfully. The seams were staggered from the upper layer, and the upper layer of stones The cracks of the blocks press the stone surface of the next layer of stone tightly, so if the machete pokes through the cracks of the stones, it will always hit hard stones.

Kiyo's heart was pounding, it was definitely not formed naturally, it was definitely arranged by someone.

I don't know what is sealed under the head, authentic? Or the treasure that is often machete in legends?

Kido looks at Luo Ren.

Luo Ren's eyes were playful, he raised his chin and gestured to the top of the cave: "What's the matter, are you still climbing?"

Kiyo shook his head: "I won't climb anymore."

"Do you still think it's unreliable?"

Her tone is sincere: "I don't think so."

Very well, Luo Ren handed her the dagger: "You will open the rest of the stones."

Kiyo didn't say a word, squatted down with a dagger in his hand, only one piece was removed from the first layer, and the workload was still huge, she sighed and said, "Luo Ren, if this happens, my fingers will fall off .”

Also, forget that she has wounds on her hands.

Luo Ren didn't speak, Kiyo let out another long sigh, bent down to carry it, just as his hand touched the stone, he picked up the collar.

Looking back, Luo Ren was both helpless and disgusted: "Go away."

Kiyo laughed loudly, put his arms around his waist: "Luo Xiaodao, I really like you."

Luo Ren was stunned for a moment, an indescribable tenderness rose in his heart, and after a while he said: "Stay by the side, help at any time."

Only one piece was removed from the first floor, and the project was still huge. Luo Ren inserted, grinded, pried, and moved piece by piece. It was a coincidence that when the first floor was completely cleared, the phone alarm rang.

He specially set the time, in order to control the morning, noon, and night regularly in the dark, so that the work and rest will not be disordered.

It's lunch time to remind him.

Luo Ren turned his back and took out chocolates from his inner pocket, perhaps because it was close to body temperature, it was a little soft—the wrapper opened, broke off a piece, wrapped it up and put it back.

Then greet Kiyo: "Come and get the meal."

Kiyo hurried over here.

Ask her: "Is it right to sit around all morning and avoid labor?"

Kiyo shook his head: "It's not right."

So take the meal.

In the afternoon, it was monotonously lifting stones again, but fortunately, under the second layer, there is really mud.

It's strange, if it's just ordinary mud, why do you insist on laying two layers of stones? And it must have been paved for a long time, almost blending in with the surroundings. If it didn't happen to rain and soak in water, it would be really difficult to find the strangeness of that low-lying place.

Kiyo held the machete and poked and dug at the place that Luo Ren had already cleared. She and Luo Ren were two people, and they happened to have tools at hand, as long as the tunnel was not hundreds or thousands of meters long. , Digging one out does not seem to be nonsense.

Thinking about it this way, I felt in a good mood, digging and chopping with a knife, working extraordinarily hard.

Luo Ren was afraid that she would rub his hands, so he reminded her: "Be careful."

Kiyo dug down with a knife: "Dig the ground and dig things out..."

Before the words were finished, the mud under her feet suddenly collapsed, and one foot suddenly fell into the air, Kiyo screamed, Luo Ren rushed to her, grabbed her waist, and rolled away on the spot. She pulled back and quickly placed the dagger in front of her.

There was no abnormal movement, and there was no imaginary ghost suddenly popping out—the place Kiyo dug just now had a crack the size of a bowl, extending all the way to her feet, so just now, she actually inserted a leg into it suddenly. went into the crack.

Luo Ren whispered to Muyo: "Bring the bag and the flashlight."

Kido was shocked, almost flew to the edge of the stone wall, and took the bag and flashlight.

Luo Ren took the flashlight and pointed it at that place.

Indeed, there was a gap, like a crescent moon, and like a huge open eye.

Luo Ren signaled Kiyo to help her illuminate, supported the ground, slowly moved over, tried not to get close, stretched out his legs and kicked hard at the mud at that place.

Clatter, clatter, another muffled sound, the big chunk of mud collapsed, revealing the opening of the cave, less than half a person's height.

A musty smell that has been years and years old.

Luo Ren opened the bag, quickly took out a box of matches, cut off the root strap, wiped off the wax on the matchhead, lit the strap with a fire, and threw it into the hole.

The flame jumped a few times, and soon went out.

Luo Renla Muyo retreated to a place a little further away, and said, "It's probably been a long time since there's been any air in there, so we'll have to wait a while."

Kiyo took the matches curiously to look at them. Boxed matches are rare these days.

"Why don't you use a lighter?"

"In the tactical bag, in order to make fire, there are usually matches and flints. Lighters are easy to use, but in extreme temperatures and climates, they are useless."

Teach her again: "The match heads are wrapped in wax, because they have been rubbed in the box for a long time, so they are afraid of spontaneous combustion and fire, and the wax can be waterproof."

Kiyo is novel and curious: "What else is inside, teach me."

Luo Ren pulled her to sit down, and ordered everything for her to see. The usual tactical bag "although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs". Survival gadgets, bendable needles, mended or bent for fishing; medicine sachets, flaming sticks for underwater lighting, and salt blocks.

Kiyo had never seen these before, everything felt fresh, Luo Ren clicked the cut bag and threw it over, this time, it didn't go out so quickly, the fire was not bright, but still jumped tenaciously.

Looks like we'll have to wait a while.

Looking down at Kiyo, she is still sorting her bags, storing everything in order, putting what should be in the survival box into the survival box, and what should be in the pouch.

Luo Ren looked at her for a while, and suddenly said: "Kiyo, I actually watched that video."

Kiyo didn't raise his head: "What video?"

"The video of you chatting with Dr. He the night you left Nantian."
