Juliana’s workshop Chapter 20: Lulunaka needs materials
Marina and they walked into the sewer channel leading to the southeast. The downward **** of the pipe, the ground is slippery, and people have to walk carefully. There are patches of slippery moss on the ground, which don’t need light. The surviving sewer moss only needs the water dripping from above to survive stubbornly, whether it is clean or dirty water-even if it is not water, as long as it is liquid, it will absorb it. Even blood is no exception. This also makes this moss not only slippery, but also very dangerous... Skin contact with this rotting moss, I am afraid it is more than just injury, if you fall here...
"I remind you that if you fall in this place, you will not only be ridiculed, but also the pain after touching the rotting moss. Your skin will become red and swollen, and it will be itchy and you want to scratch off a layer. Pi, you have to endure this kind of pain for several weeks with good drug treatment, and you have to spend a lot of money."
Under the kind reminder of Hatchet, whether it’s Marina or Ikoo, every step they take is careful, for fear that they will fall to the ground. This is not just a simple matter of embarrassment, no one wants to suffer like this. Torture. Compared with newcomers in the sewers like Marina and Ikeo, Hatchet and Chris, who continue to walk in front, seem to be able to do well. For people who have been working hard and taking risks in the sewers for a long time to make a living, the rotten moss on the ground is just like the grass, which has become accustomed to it. As long as the foot is stepped on it, even if you have not realized what is under your feet, your body will do it yourself. The best choice and response came out.
But in this five-person team, there is another person who is slightly different. Lulunaka has a cane, which gives her more support when walking. Every time the end of the cane hits the ground, it provides her with a fulcrum so that she will not fall to the ground due to slipping under her feet. . Her cane hits the ground, and every click will make a small but clear sound, leaving an echo in the pipe. The sound of footsteps, the sticky-clicking sound of feet when they leave the ground, the sound of Lulunaka’s stick falling to the ground, and the crackling sound of the flame on the torch are mixed together in this long, narrow and dark space. , Became a kind of strange sound...or a kind of strange music.
They continued to walk until they reached the end of the pipe. The exit at the end is much smaller than the pipeline itself. The pipeline can accommodate three or four people walking side by side, and this exit can only let people pass one by one, and a warrior as tall as a hatchet has to bend over to pass.
Chris went by first, and after a while he heard his voice, "Safe, come here."
Ikeo and others behind him passed through the narrow exit one by one, and the last one was the hatchet that came out bending over.
This time, they came to a more spacious space, bigger than Rat Road. This is also a circular passage. The top of the arc on the head is high, far away from the people standing on the ground. It is farther away than the ceiling that can be seen by looking up in the rat road and can give people the illusion of being close. . The channel where everyone came out was on the side of this channel. When they left the channel, they could see that the channel in front of them led to the left and right sides. The channel on the right was blocked by a pile of stones and could not pass through. Where is the end. Because it is too spacious, and in the almost sealed space underground, a little sound can bring a lot of movement. There are gravel everywhere on the ground. Some stones are sharp and sharp. No fool would walk on this to torture his shoes and soles. If the quality of the shoes is a little lower, the soles of the feet may be poked or scratched. NS. In fact, there are not many places to walk. In addition to gravel, there are weeds and strange plants that they can’t even name. They don’t seem to be things that can be touched casually. Since there are things like rotting moss, it shouldn't be surprising that there are more harmful plants in this sewer.
But not everyone can't help these plants, at least one person knows these things...or maybe two people.
"That is Miscanthus." Following Marina, Lulunaka, like a chick following a hen, pointed to one of the plants. If the plant is Miscanthus, If it grows in such a place, its vitality seems to be too tenacious. Even Miscanthus needs sunlight. And listening to the name Lulunaka said, this is indeed not ordinary miscanthus, and the length of this thing is far greater than ordinary miscanthus, and it looks more tough, so it stands upright there.
"I have seen this plant in the illustrated book." Marina also looked at the strange miscanthus, "because it is very suitable for hanging props, so I was given this name."
"But no one will use this as a hanging prop." Lulunaka said, "There are linen ropes available. There is no need to go underground to fetch materials for the noose."
"And this thing is very tricky." The short axe walking behind heard the conversation between the two and interjected: "This thing is not as gentle as the Miscanthus on the ground... Miscanthus can easily cut your fingers. This miscanthus is more than just breaking the skin."
"What is different about it?" Ikeo was also curious and asked.
"Ask this little girl who knows plants well." Hatchet threw the troublesome work to Lulu Naka, "You have to prove that you have some ability."
Lulunaka nodded repeatedly and answered Ikeo’s question, “Because it grows underground and there is no sunlight, this plant is very hungry for everything that can provide nutrients, especially liquids, because liquids are the easiest Absorb... Once someone was cut by this miscanthus, and then it entangled it tightly around that person’s fingers, sucking like a leech. Because it’s tough and soft, and it’s still wrapped around the fingers. It’s very difficult to cut off, and it’s much trickier than leeches. In the end, the man used a finger as a price to get rid of the blood-sucking plant. If he didn’t do this, probably the entire palm would be destroyed."
After listening to Lulunaka’s explanation, Ikeo took a few steps away from the miscanthus. The miscanthus grows on the side of the passage, growing in pieces, which originally looked a little green. The thing suddenly turned into a terrifying and **** existence. It’s not just Ekoo’s case, Marina has also distanced himself from these miscanthus. As for Hatchet and Chris, their original position and route are far away from these plants~IndoMTL.com~ Now they are away from this miscanthus. The last one was Lulu Naka, who was standing a few steps away from these miscanthus and following Marina.
"As I just said, Miscanthus is easy to cut the skin, and if you use force, it can leave a very deep blood mouth on the skin." Ikoo said, his face is a little ugly, "If you put this on your neck... …"
Hatchet laughed, "That would be very ugly. After the neck is trapped by this thing, the blood of half of your body will be sucked dry before suffocating. Is it because of excessive blood loss or Suffocating to death, it depends on luck."
"Why do you depend on luck?"
"Because it determines how ugly you die, or how it will be less painful." Hatchet said, "I have someone I know who died like this. That's an idiot and a bad luck. In the miscanthus, after this..." He shrugged, "Don't say anything, I'm worried you will vomit."
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Marina smiled, but there was really no smile on her face.
Lulunaka shouted Marina, "Can I go pick some of those miscanthus?" When seeing everyone’s expressions, Lulunaka waved her hand quickly and said nervously, "I know how Let the miscanthus settle down, there will be no danger!"
"Are you sure?" Hatchet said with a frown, "If you get caught up in those things, I won't save you, at most I will cut off your hands or feet."
Lulu Nakar repeatedly nodded, indicating that he had heard the "advice" of Hatchet. As she walked towards the place where Miscanthus grows, Marina followed. "These things are at least afraid of fire, right?" Marina said to her.
Lulunaka smiled, "Yes, at least they are afraid of fire, so I dare to get closer."
