Chapter 114 The Last Hope
Yi Xingchen quickly closed his eyes and climbed behind Tang Xiaoqi again. The net was facing her and closed his eyes. After a while, he heard a tinging sound from behind. Tang Xiaoqi used an iron stick and a hammer to dig the cave.
After a while, I heard Tang Xiaoqi panting and saying, "This rock is so hard. It took me a long time to chisel such a small piece."
Tang Xiaoqi said this, but her hands kept digging. Ding Ling was still digging.
Soon, the last bit of fabric on the torch on the ground was burned out. The cave was pitch black.
But Tang Xiaoqi did not stop. She had already understood the situation around her and could be digging without lighting.
Tang Xiaoqi kept waving the heavy hammer and digging it. Yi Xingchen asked her if she wanted to replace it. Tang Xiaoqi said no, the stone was very hard, and he could only knock a small piece after he had infused his internal force. If he replaced it with Yi Xingchen, he should not expect it to be digging.
Since he said that, Yi Xingchen had no choice but to give up and wait for him to work hard alone.
Nearly an hour, at the beginning, the sound of Ding Ling was still very rapid, but the later it went, the more loose it became. Moreover, it took a long time to make a sound. Obviously, Tang Xiaoqi really had no strength to come back, and in the end, Tang Xiaoqi threw down the heavy hammer and iron drill.
Tang Xiaoqi was so tired that she panted and said, "No, the stone is too hard. I have been knocking off a small piece in a long time. What should I do?"
Since the cave was pitch black, there was no need for Yi Xingchen to close his eyes. He had already opened his eyes and still couldn't see anything, so he groped and said, "I'll take a look."
He groped and climbed forward, climbed to a pile of gravel and touched it. It was more than the pile of gravel he had before, but it was not much more. It was only half a plate of it with a washbasin, which means that it took Tang Xiaoqi more than an hour to chisel the stone half of the washbasin to come down.
Yi Xingchen touched the mountain wall in front with his hands, chiseled off a small shallow piece, and his heart sank to the bottom. If he followed this progress, he could not go half a meter deep in a day. Without food and water, he would be afraid that this arduous project would not be able to be completed.
Yi Xingchen picked up the iron chisel and hammer and chiseled it hard. With a few clangs, he did not chisel even a small piece of stone, only a few sparks appeared.
This was because Yi Xingchen had exhausted all his strength. He only carved out Mars, and at most he drew a shallow scratch on the cliff, and even a large piece of stone on his fingernail did not jump down.
Yi Xingchen struggled to knock it for a while. Soon he was panting, and the hammer in his hand became heavier and heavier, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. Tang Xiaoqi next to him was exhausted and had no strength to stop her, so she let her dig like crazy.
Yi Xingchen did not have the internal force of Tang Xiaoqi, so she only chiseled for a moment. The heavy hammer could no longer be lifted, so she had to throw it on the ground. She reached out and touched it, leaving a few shallow scratches on the mountain wall. This made him feel ashamed and desperate.
"The rock is really hard and I can't figure out how those people chiseled out the cave.
After resting for a while, Tang Xiaoqi said: "The cave outside and the cave below are natural, and only this passage is dug out. If it is all done with digging, I don't believe they can dig out. The rock is really too hard, like iron."
Tang Xiaoqi then picked up the hammer and iron chisel and continued to dig the cave. This time, it was not as long as the first time, nor as the first time, because her strength had been almost exhausted for the first time, and this short rest time could not recover her physical strength, especially when she was hungry and thirsty, which made her unable to get out of strength. The hope for digging the passage to escape became increasingly slim as time went by.
In the end, Tang Xiaoqi began to cry. While crying, she continued to dig hard.
Yi Xingchen comforted behind and said, "Qiqi, take a break, you are tired."
Tang Xiaoqi did not answer, and still cried and kept waving the hammer hard. However, the matter of digging a cave was not something that a woman could do, and she was still young and young, so she couldn't hold on for long. Finally, his arm could no longer lift the heavy hammer. With two clangs, he threw the hammer and iron coins on the ground, sat on the ground in a deflated manner, hugged his head, and started crying.
Yi Xingchen went up and touched the cave wall. The ones he dug into were much shallower than before. The two times he dug into the ground did not move in half a foot, and it took them nearly two hours.
Yi Xingchen was also desperate, sat next to Tang Xiaoqi and whispered: "This stone is too hard. I don't know how thick the mountain is there. If it's not too far away, it's easy to do it, but if the distance is relatively far, our energy will not last until it is activated without food and drink. Let's sit down and think about it carefully, so we can no longer consume our energy randomly."
Tang Xiaoqi wiped her tears and said, "What else can I do? I finally found a cave, which looks like this. If we don't dig it, we will die here."
After saying that, Tang Xiaoqi forced herself to get up and go to grab the hammer again, but the hammer that was originally light and as light as in her hand was as heavy as Mount Tai, and there was no strength to pick it up. He knew that all his strength had been completely exhausted, and at this moment, let alone raising the hammer, he would not have the strength to raise his hand."
In despair, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Yi Xingchen couldn't help but reach out and wanted to pat her shoulder to comfort her, but after slapping, she remembered that there was only one bra on her upper body, and the others were exposed. This palm naturally slapped her shoulders, and she was about to apologize, but Tang Xiaoqi turned around and threw herself into his arms, hugging him and crying louder.
Yi Xingchen's soft jade warm fragrance was full of her arms, and his hands touched her back, feeling wet. He knew that she was so tired that she was covered in sweat, so he was afraid that she would become even more thirsty.
Sure enough, Tang Xiaoqi cried for a while and said, "Brother Guaer, I am thirsty and hungry, what should I do?"
Tang Xiaoqi smiled bitterly: "We just found this cave. Apart from the corpse water flowing out of the corpse, there is no other drinking water."
"Then aren't we going to die of thirst here?"
Tang Xiaoqi's voice was full of despair. Yi Xingchen knew that she was telling the truth, so he couldn't help but comfort her softly and said, "Don't worry, didn't I say it? With me there, everything is fine."
Tang Xiaoqi cried and said, "Okay, then you can find water for me to drink."
This simplest thing is difficult to reach the sky at this moment. Today, Yi Xingchen carefully searched every corner of the cave and thought about where to get water.
But he couldn't think of where to get water if he wanted to break his head. Is there any way to get water?
Seeing that he was silent, Tang Xiaoqi couldn't help but feel desperate and whimpered, "You said you've told me about fortune-telling before, 'It's not suitable to go up, it's suitable to go down.' We did find a cave, but what's the auspicious thing? Woo woo."
When Yi Xingchen heard this, he flashed his mind and slapped his thighs and said, "Yes, it's good to go down, it's good to go! The hexagram will not deceive people. It will definitely be good to go down. Does that mean that there is a channel below this channel. The above channel is not suitable, which means it is blocked. The channel below is the real channel, which is a good channel. Therefore, if we look under this channel, there should be a channel leading to the outside world!"
"Really?" Tang Xiaoqi had been disappointed several times before. This time, she asked anxiously. I really hope that Yi Xingchen did not make any mistake this time, otherwise, they were probably going to be buried in the cave. Thinking of this, he said again: "But we touched the entire cave before, but we didn't find the entrance?"
"Maybe the entrance of the cave is blocked by soil just like you found this cave. I will knock it one by one on the wall later, and maybe I will find it."
"Yes!" Tang Xiaoqi said happily, but after failures, she didn't dare to give too much hope. "But if it can't be found, or if it's useless, or if it's wrong?" Tang Xiaoqi was really scared, so she asked one after another.
Yi Xingchen said: "No matter whether it is true or not, we can only try it. You have already overdrawn too much. Please take a break and I will go find it."
Tang Xiaoqi hurriedly said, "No, you don't have enough physical strength. Just now, I spent a long time trying to get into danger and I'm afraid that I can't catch the chain and fall down? I'd better take a break and wait for my physical strength to recover, so I'll go."
Yi Xingchen said: "I'm afraid we don't have time to wait for you to rest. You're overdrawn too much. Now you can't even lift your hands. There's no water or food. If you don't have a good rest, you can't recover your physical strength in a short period of time. Let me do it. I'm at least a man, so it doesn't take much effort to climb the chain and slide down. Don't worry, I still have this strength."
Tang Xiaoqi said: "What should we use to ignite the torches? The previous torches have burned out."
"Not for the time being. I go down and knock on the wall with an iron chisel, listen to the sound inside, see if there is a cave hidden behind it, and the other hand needs to grab the chain, and there is no extra hand to grab the torch. I will find it first. The only thing we can burn is our two pants. We can't use it until the critical moment. Otherwise, it's ugly or a trivial matter. If we can't find the exit, then we really want to cry without tears!"
Tang Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Okay, then you have to be careful and you must hold the chain tightly."
Yi Xingchen agreed to grab the iron rod and walk back with a touch.
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he reached out to scratch, but couldn't touch the chain. He stretched out the iron rod and touched the chain. He wanted to hook it, but the iron rod was straight and couldn't hook it.
It was useless after a long time of hard work. At this time, Tang Xiaoqi's voice came from behind him and said, "I lit the turquoise to illuminate you, and you will see the iron chain, jump over and grab it. This is all you can do." (To be continued. (.))
