I felt that my brain was a bit deprived of oxygen from running, and I felt dizzy for a while. After a while, I heard suppressed sobs in the dark. It was Du Hongmei crying next to me. It was not until this moment that I felt that Du Hongmei was crying. Although she is usually decisive and strong, she still has the infinite tenderness and fragile heart of a woman. She is crying for Xiao Lei again. Not only her, but Sister Li is also crying next to her. This is also very rare. The two of them are crying. A strong woman suddenly became so helpless at this moment.

Thinking of Xiao Lei, my heart feels like a knife. If he had any shortcomings, he would have sacrificed on our behalf. Xiao Lei is not usually a sweet-talking person, but he is so upright and kind, always doing everything for others. For his own sake, he is definitely a friend who can rely on us in life and death. I didn’t expect that tonight, in the midst of many dangers, he saved my life and Sister Li’s. But when he faced such a huge danger, we couldn’t do much to help him. Why? Not only that, but also reminding us to run away quickly at the last moment.

Tears were welling up in my eyes, but I bit my lip tightly to hold back from crying, because the two women were already crying like this, and I couldn't "add fuel to the fire" any more. Besides, I was in a dangerous situation now, wasn't it? When you cry, the most important thing is what to do next.

Du Hongmei was Du Hongmei after all. After sobbing for a few minutes, she quickly recovered her senses, cleared her throat, and said in her usual calm and firm voice: "Xiao Ming, Sister Li, now is not the time for us to be sad. You two check to see if your weapons are missing. If Blind Man Gao and that guy show up, you have to be ready to fight. I'm going to go to the bottom of the cliff to see how Xiao Lei is doing.

"Hongmei, this is too dangerous. Even if we have to go, we have to go together. How can we let you go alone? Xiao Ming, let's go there together," Sister Li said firmly.

I completely agreed. At that time, I really wanted to say: "Even if we die, we will die together when we get home." But I felt it was unlucky, so I didn't say it. Sometimes I am a bit superstitious. In the dark, I knelt down In the muddy water, he kowtowed devoutly a few times and muttered: "God bless me, Xiao Lei must not get into trouble."

Sister Li and Hongmei were stunned by me. They didn't know what to say for a moment, and they didn't even laugh. They knelt down and prayed with me, which seemed strange.

Looking back later, although I felt that such an action was a bit ridiculous at the time, I knew that it was an almost instinctive and sincere prayer.

The red plum blossoms couldn't defeat us in the end, so the three of us tiptoed in the darkness and came to the underground of the cliff again. I have to admit that while walking towards the cliff, I couldn't help but flash such a picture in my mind, , Xiao Lei fell to the ground covered in blood, without a breath. I believe that such a terrifying scene will definitely appear in the hearts of Hongmei and Sister Li.

In the darkness, we approached the bottom of the cliff with our hearts beating wildly. We were worried that someone would suddenly throw stones from above, and we were also worried about seeing Xiao Lei lying on the ground.

With the extremely weak starlight, we hunched over and looked at the ground carefully, but except for a few large rocks, we did not see Xiao Lei. We searched again carefully, and the scope of the search was a bit wider this time. , I still didn’t see Xiao Lei, which only proves one thing: Xiao Lei hasn’t fallen down from above yet.

We all breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Xiao Lei might not have been hit by the stone, and he might still be alive. After a while, we suddenly felt the solemn rustling of the rope that Xiao Lei fixed with an iron rod. It started to move, which proved that someone was using this rope to climb or descend.

Our hearts suddenly shrank again, because we were not sure whether Xiao Lei was using this rope, so we hurriedly hid in the nearby grass and quietly observed the changes here.

After a long time, in the darkness, I felt someone slowly descending from the cliff. Because the light was too dark, I couldn't tell whether it was Xiaolei or not. The three of us clung to each other in the grass. It was as if I could feel my heartbeat.

Suddenly, Du Hongmei said in a very soft voice in my ear: "Xiao Ming, when I tap you, let's stand up together. You are responsible for photographing the person with the flashlight, and I am responsible for aiming the anesthesia gun. If it happens, If you are a blind man, I will shoot you."

I nodded understandingly, Du Hongmei took a deep breath, and then patted me decisively. I straightened up immediately, turned on the flashlight, and looked for the person who came down. At the same time, Du Hongmei also stood up suddenly, holding hands tightly. He held the tranquilizer gun and aimed at the target.

But what makes us ecstatic is that the one who came down was Xiao Lei.

Being illuminated by the flashlight like this, Xiao Lei was subconsciously startled. I was quite clever. When I saw it was Xiao Lei, I immediately put out the flashlight and shouted softly: "Xiao Lei, come here quickly, it's us."

Thank God, what happened just now was a false alarm, and everyone was safe. However, Du Hongmei was a little bit out of control this time. When Xiaolei came over, she ignored Sister Li and me beside her and pounced on her. Xiao Lei hugged Xiao Lei tightly and started to cry again. Xiao Lei gently stroked her hair and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay. It's safe." Sister Li was also beside her. He hugged me tightly, and I sighed softly in my heart: "Oh, we are really two pairs of desperate mandarin ducks."

After everyone calmed down, Xiao Lei told us everything that had just happened.

It was his spare rope fixed with an iron drill that saved his life. When he was about halfway up the climb, he suddenly felt that the original rope tied to the tree suddenly broke, but the rope around his waist Fortunately, there was still a spare rope. Once the top rope broke, he fell a few meters and was quickly pulled tightly by the taut spare rope. He quickly grabbed the spare rope and stabilized his body. .

However, Xiao Lei also quickly realized that someone above must have cut or untied the rope. Then, he suddenly heard something strange coming from above, as if a stone was rolling down, so he shouted on the intercom to let us get away, but , he was lucky enough, and there happened to be a recessed part where he stayed, so he quickly hid his body in it, so that he was not hurt by the rocks rolling down from it.

Needless to say, this must be the work of the monster and the blind man. Unexpectedly, we entered the valley in the dark at night so carefully, but we were still noticed by him. We are really a terrible opponent, but what should we do next? .

The night was already very deep. We were all covered in mud, wet and sticky, and felt very uncomfortable. We were also tired and hungry, and our whole bodies were so weak that we had no strength at all. Even though Xiao Lei had such good physical strength, after such a torment, , we were already exhausted, we discussed it, and the top priority was to take a rest quickly, change into drier clothes, and regain some strength.

Fortunately, I brought spare clothes with me when I came out this time. It was summer, so bringing a few more clothes wouldn't add much burden. Taking a shower was out of the question, so we had to take out towels and dry ourselves roughly. , and then change clothes.

We found a huge stone and set up a simple hood, but unfortunately we only brought one, so we had to make do with it. Men and women "lived together", and the two of us took turns to stand guard, just in case something unexpected happened.

When people are extremely sleepy and tired, sleeping is the best way to restore physical strength. Even just a few dozen minutes is very effective. When we rest for a few hours, the sky has gradually brightened, and our fears and The uneasiness gradually subsided a lot as the day came.

Last night was really a nightmare. It was the most dangerous fight between us and Blind Man Gao. It was much more dangerous than that face-to-face fight at my cousin's house.

It's strange to think about it. Blind Man Gao usually chooses to take action at night. We don't know the real reason, but one thing is certain. At night, his attack ability and combat ability should be stronger, and if During the day, everything seems to be affected. Therefore, on this sunny day, we feel more at ease.

In fact, each of us has an unforgettable memory of the pit of corpses with silver ingots in our hearts, not only because there are silver ingots in it, but also because there are too many secrets buried there, and there are also too many weirdnesses, and there is another point: where we are I almost lost my life.

The food and water we brought were very limited, so we should go out as soon as possible. However, after repeated discussions, we decided not to climb out during the day, because if the blind man appeared on the top, we would die and we would not have any power to fight back. , it’s scary to think about it, you are climbing up from a steep wall, and the enemy who wants to kill you is waiting for you on the edge of the steep wall. He can kill you casually: he can wait until you are about to When you climb up, you will be hit with rocks to death, or you will be knocked down and fall to death. That would be really terrifying.

Only under the cover of the night tomb can a successful assault be possible. This requires us to explore the terrain during the day and see which side of the valley is most suitable for climbing. What is even more troublesome and frustrating is that we were originally tied to the tree. The rope has been untied or cut by someone, and Xiao Lei's spare rope yesterday did not use an iron drill to "wire" it to the top of the cliff, but only to a place of more than 20 meters, and he came down yesterday At that time, this section of the rope had already been pulled down. In other words, if we want to go out now, there is no rope tied to it for us to climb on. What should we do?

We used to rely on ropes tied above to enter and leave the valley, but now the only access tool is gone. With Du Hongmei and Xiao Lei's good rock climbing and mountaineering skills, they might be able to climb up during the day, but But we could only climb at night without any lighting tools. No matter how superb their climbing skills were, there was nothing they could do in this dark light.
