I said it would be impossible for just the two of them. It would take two or three days to walk from here to Base Camp No. 1. If something unexpected happened on the way, it would be best to go back together.
As I said that, I asked Sister Yuan if Lao Liu could wait here for half a day or a day. If we go well and touch the treasure today, I can take Lao Liu back with me so that I can have someone to take care of me on the way.
Sister Yuan said she could wait a day and see.
Then she gave a bunch of instructions to Lao Liu, telling him to have a good rest at the base camp and not run around.
After settling down the sixth child, we naturally took the time to return to the tomb. The next task is:
Look behind the other two closed stone doors to see if there are real tomb passages and tomb chambers.
Maybe it was because Jianzui was still in a hurry while walking on the road, Zhao Hu couldn't help scolding him: "Why do you have such a short memory like that guy named Lei? Your brothers are injured, so you are still so impatient, right? You're not afraid of waiting. Will you also fall into the trap?"
He said with a sharp mouth and unconvinced: "Why am I just like the guy named Lei? When we sent him out because he was injured, he didn't even ask or care about him. He just studied the stone gate there. He Aren't you more anxious than me?"
"I'm not the sixth brother, why should he care?"
"Then Er Zhu is his brother, right? I didn't see him in a hurry when Er Zhu got into trouble."
Zhao Hu was speechless, and then waved his hand: "Forget it, there's no point in talking to you, you two are evenly matched anyway."
When they arrived at the big stone room, Brother Lei and the tall man were studying in front of the two closed stone doors.
I didn't rush over to take a look, but went back to the stone room full of traps first. I wanted to see if there was anything fishy in the pit that Lei Ge fell into.
The bottom of this pit is not a soil layer, but a rock layer, so there is no possibility of collapse due to erosion by the underground river. It is obviously a man-made trap.
As for other useful clues, I didn't find any.
Returning to the big stone room, Brother Lei pointed to the stone door on the far left and said to me: "Brother Jianjun, I just checked. This stone door is an opening and closing door. There are door shafts on both sides, which can be opened. There is a gap in the middle. It’s quite big, if you look inside, you can see the top stone.”
I observed it and found that the situation was the same as what he said. It was a retractable door with a hinge and a tapstone on the back.
This way, it will be much easier to deal with.
I asked Jian Zui to go to the base camp to get hard iron wire, and after making it into a nail key, I directly knocked down the tap stone, and then pushed one of the doors, and it opened directly.
After entering, there is another corridor inside, but it is only a few meters deep. When you reach your head, the corridor turns to the left.
When we walked towards the corner, we were very careful because we had learned from the past and were afraid of encountering traps again.
Fortunately, there was still a corridor after turning the corner, and there was nothing unusual about it.
After walking for a while and turning two or three times, a dead end appeared in front of us, and there was no road.
But at the bottom corner of the stone wall at the end, two square holes appeared.
The length and width are about fifty or sixty centimeters. When you shine a flashlight into it, you will see that it is about three meters deep, and it turns to both sides at the end.
"What is this passage for? It's just like a dog hole. It doesn't lead to the real tomb passage and the main tomb chamber, right?" Lei Ge asked at this time.
He also asked the tall man to lie down and get in tentatively, but with his physique, he couldn't get in at all.
If I guessed correctly, these two holes are starvation holes and two traps.
"Starving to death hole? What is starving to death hole?"
Zhao Hu, who was next to him, had obviously heard of the Starvation Cave. He rushed to explain: "This passage is not very wide nor very narrow. Most adults can just get in. After entering, after turning a few times, the passage will basically become diagonal." Keep going down, and the cave wall is very smooth. If you don't pay attention, you will slide down. When you slide to the end, you will find that there is a steeper bend. After passing the bend, there is a dead room several meters high. When you get there Because the passage is very narrow, you can't turn around, and you can't go back up. After all, the cave walls are slippery, and the end that awaits you is to fall into the death room and starve to death inside."
After hearing this, Brother Lei scolded: "Damn it, were people so evil in the past that they could even think of such a way?"
He seemed a little unwilling to give up, so he lay down and looked at it again, and then asked: "What if it is really a passage, why don't we find someone to try it?"
"Who tries, you try?" I asked.
Lei Ge immediately shook his head: "I can't. I just fell into the trap over there, and my legs still hurt. Besides, I'm not the skinniest either. We have to find someone thin."
After saying this, he turned his attention to Jianzui.
Sharp Mouth is indeed the thinnest among us men.
When Jianzui saw Brother Lei looking at him, he naturally understood what Brother Lei meant.
He glared at Brother Lei and said angrily: "Look at me, I won't go. I won't do this kind of thing that seeks death."
"You are so scared. You need to be tied with a rope. There are so many of us holding you, so you won't be able to fall."
"That won't work either. Whoever wants to go can go. Anyway, I won't go."
"Then someone has to try. If it really is a passage, it would be a pity for us to miss it like this."
At this time, I also lay down and took a look, and said if it didn't work, I would try it, but Xiaozizi immediately stopped me and said that he was a little thinner than me, and since I was the commander-in-chief, I had to leave the commander behind while he went to take a look.
"Then be careful. If anything happens, please tell us in time."
"Um."
Afterwards, we tied the rope around Pigtail's body and he lay on the ground ready to drill the hole.
As soon as his head got in, he immediately pulled out.
He looked at Xiaoye and said: "Xiaoye, if something happens to me, you must remember me. Remember that there was a handsome man with pigtails who once did it for you..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Hu kicked him on the butt: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry in."
Xiao Ye said angrily: "No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak."
The little braid then got into the hole with a wry smile.
After he entered, Zhao Hu and I naturally tensed up and held on to the rope. The rope was about ten meters away, and he shouted to us that we could come out.
Then he fell backwards and we pulled on the rope, and he was quickly pulled out.
"How's it going? Is it a starvation hole?" I asked.
The pigtail nodded: "Yes, there is really a slope behind. It is not very steep at the beginning, but when you get to the bottom, it becomes 70 or 80 degrees, and it is very slippery. If it were not tied with a rope, you would definitely fall in. As for the bottom , there is a room three or four meters high, and there is nothing in it."
"Well, that would definitely mean starving to death."
Then, we showed him another one. The other passage was longer, and the rope was placed for almost twenty meters. When he came back, the result was the same as before, it was also a starving hole.
