Chapter 113
Sister Hong did some ideological work on me for a long time, and finally I was persuaded.
Isn't there an old saying, as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle? Sister Hong kept emphasizing my importance in a serious manner, which made me feel a little elated.
The Sanhe soil in tombs is very hard, but it is afraid of children's urine and edible vinegar. This is the biggest weakness of Sanhe soil. It may involve some chemical knowledge. If you are interested in this aspect, you can buy some Sanhe soil from the tomb robbers and take it yourself. Go home and soak it in vinegar to see if it softens. You will know after you try it.
Why is there emphasis on children's urine? I didn't understand this at first, but Sister Hong told me that it may be that children's urine is weakly acidic, while adult men's urine is weakly alkaline.
Next, I kept drinking water from a water gourd. When my stomach became bloated, I leaned against the wall to rest. As soon as I felt the urge to urinate, I quickly drained the water.
I hit accurately, and I aimed at the same spot every time. As soon as the Sanhe soil softened, Sister Hong started to hit it with rocks.
We secretly piled the broken soil that fell from the wall into a corner, and then simply covered it with a sack. Lao Xu’s head was also buried in the pile. Otherwise, seeing a human head by accident would scare people to death.
I don’t know what the criteria for water intoxication are. Anyway, I only drink water and sleep and pour water against the wall. I feel like my whole body is bloated from drinking water.
Maybe two days passed, or maybe three.
On this day, I suddenly heard the sound of a stone cover.
"Quick! Quick!"
Seeing someone coming from above, I shouted quickly.
Sister Hong and Researcher An stood up immediately, and they immediately used their bodies to block the pits on the wall and the small mounds of dirt in the corners. This is what we have practiced in the past few days, and we have gotten through this several times before. Because we knew that the person delivering the food would not come down. He would only glance at it from above, as long as he saw the three of us there.
The rice served was all white steamed buns. The steamed buns were very dry and cracked. The clear message was that we didn't have to starve to death.
I shouted up: "Hey, brother, can you bring me a bucket of water? I've finished drinking it."
The man shook his flashlight downwards, looked at the bottomed bucket, and cursed loudly: "You are all fucking cows! In just a few days, you drank two fucking buckets of water! Even cows don't have you." So drinkable!"
I had a ghost in my heart, so I explained loudly: "Brother, that girl has had diarrhea recently. She may have dysentery. If she doesn't drink more water, she will be dehydrated and die!" I pointed to the corner of the wall and looked pale. Researcher An.
"Fuck! I'm telling you, no wonder you can smell such a strong smell of urine as soon as you open the lid. Tie the bucket to a rope and move back! Stay away!"
"Okay, okay," I immediately tied the empty bucket to the rope and stepped back to keep my distance.
The ladder had been taken away a few days ago, the bucket was pulled up little by little, and then the lid was closed.
After waiting for less than half an hour, a bucket full of water was brought down by a rope. This person worked quickly, and I secretly thought that maybe this person had been given an explanation and did not dare to let anything happen to us. After all, people will not die of hunger without eating for three or two days, but they can die of thirst if they are short of water.
"People should go far away." Then, Sister Hong and I looked at each other.
The wall was not as thick as we imagined. We worked day and night, and the dent in the wall gradually became bigger and bigger.
Sister Hong tapped it a few times, and the sound here was different from other places. It should be opened soon. Sister Hong also said in confusion: "It's strange, why is it different from what I expected? I thought I would dig up the remains of previous victims, but there is nothing."
I advised Sister Hong not to think too much. After all, there are so many things going on right now, and I still don’t know where the wall leads to. Don’t open it to the underground river or cliff on the other side, otherwise it will be over.
The group definitely didn't know about it either, which meant that there might be a new, undiscovered location behind the wall. You have to see it to know what it is specifically.
