At this time, Mu Lingling said: "Li Shang, did you hear anything?"
"Motion?" I was a little surprised. My hearing was definitely good, but I didn't hear anything.
I shook my head.
Mu Lingling suddenly shouted, pointed to the corner and said, "Look there."
I walked over, and by the light of the fire, I discovered that it was just a mouse hole. The sound of rustling just now was probably from rats...
mouse!
There are rats in this tomb, in this place.
Before I could think about it, the surrounding walls began to peel off.
I felt bad, so I pulled Mu Lingling and wanted to go back the way I came. But at this time, the stone door that was still half open suddenly closed automatically, and another stone door fell from above. Without tools, it was impossible to pry open this stone door with brute force alone. .
In other words, we have become a turtle in a urn.
As the wall peeled off, mouse holes with a diameter of more than an inch appeared, and squeaking sounds began to sound.
Rats may not be scary to anyone in two or three, but what if there are twenty or thirty? Are you getting goosebumps?
What about two or three hundred? What about two or three thousand?
I walked forward, kicked up the coffin lid on the ground, picked it up with one hand and put it on my shoulder: "Mu Lingling, get in the coffin."
"Bah, if you put yourself in a coffin, wouldn't you be dead?"
"You are dead if you don't get into the coffin." After I said that, I held the coffin lid on one shoulder, picked up Mu Lingling around the waist with one hand and threw her directly into the coffin.
She dishonestly sat up from the coffin and saw a flood of rats all over the ground.
Before she could scream, I had already pressed forward, and then the coffin lid was tightly closed.
The two of us were huddled in this coffin, the distance between our faces was only three inches, and we could even feel each other's breathing.
She said, "It's not a problem if you keep pressing me like this. Find a way to leave."
"There are more than a thousand rats outside? How can we get out? Now we can only wait for someone to rescue us."
"Who would come to this place where birds don't poop?"
"Will do."
At this time, I have basically figured out the basic structure of the tomb of King Yelang. The twelve tomb passages seem to lead to various places, but in fact they lead to the same destination. There is a round piece on the ceiling of this tomb chamber, similar to a manhole cover. , indicating that among the twelve passages, they are superimposed one by one, and finally lead to one place.
In fact, I could have pushed the manhole cover away after erecting the coffin board, but I didn't, because I wanted to put us in danger and win the affection of Mu Lingling.
In this way, when disputes arise in the world, Piaomen will not take action against me.
But facing the swarm of rats, I can’t guarantee that anyone will actually pass by, so I’m reading.
At this time, Mu Lingling said shyly: "Don't move, you are pushing me."
"You're just talking nonsense. How the hell do I have time to think about that?"
"That's what's bothering me."
"I don't know." I said, reaching down with my hand. After finding the peach garden, I reached out and pulled out a jade pestle for pounding medicine.
I said, "This thing hit you, what happened? Are you responsible for using it?"
Her tone was a little twitchy: "I just said that the hardness didn't feel right just now, and it was also very cold..."
I:……
Perhaps it was the sound of our words that attracted the rats. There was a chirping sound on the coffin lid, and the rats began to chew on the coffin lid.
It's over.
When the mice eat the coffin, one of us will die.
Just as the rats were gnawing at the coffin, someone suddenly heard a voice saying: "Damn it, there are so many rats down there."
Then another person's voice came: "There is a smell of tung oil torches, there should be someone down there, but I don't know if they are still alive?"
I said, "This voice is quite familiar. It seems to be Mr. Zheng and the others."
I reached out and patted the coffin board: "Mr. Zheng?"
"Li Shang?" Mr. Zheng's voice above was extremely excited: "Are you okay?"
"Set fire quickly." After I shouted, I said to Mu Lingling: "Mr. Zheng will lower the rope in a while. You can pull the rope up first."
"how about you?"
"Don't worry about me, as long as you're safe."
"I……"
"It's okay." I reached out and pinched her face: "Your safety is much more important than mine."
Her voice became choked.
At this time, there was the sound of heavy objects falling, the sound of fire, and the sound of burning rats squeaking.
After a minute, I felt it was almost done, so I pushed the coffin lid open with an elbow.
Mr. Zheng's climbing rope also came down.
I took the climbing rope and tied a tight knot around Mu Lingling's waist. Mr. Zheng used both hands to pull Mu Lingling up.
She went up, but the ocean of mice pounced on me again.
It was overwhelming.
I was swarmed into the coffin by rats.
Because of the fire, Mu Lingling screamed when she saw it, asking Mr. Zheng to come and save me.
I wanted to tell Mr. Zheng not to come down and cause trouble, but I was afraid that the moment I opened my mouth, a mouse would get into my mouth.
I held the jade pestle in my hand and waved it a few times before standing up from the coffin: "Mr. Zheng, give me your hand."
After that, I pushed one leg and jumped more than two meters.
Mr. Zheng hurriedly reached out and grabbed me, pulling me up.
As for the few mice here and there, they were kicked off by Zhu Huan.
"Fire." I held out my hand.
Zhu Huan immediately handed me another torch. After lighting it, I was about to throw it down.
Zhu Huan said: "What do you want to do?"
"Rat control."
"Use this." Zhu Huan handed me something wrapped in kraft paper: "This is the gunpowder we found outside."
I lit the gunpowder and threw it down, then grabbed the manhole cover next to me and held it down tightly.
I don’t know how powerful the gunpowder is. Anyway, it can kill most of the rats inside at once. As for whether the gunpowder will cause the collapse of the tomb, it is no longer important. If these rats are not exterminated, they will always come from other corners. Get out of the corner.
With a bang.
Some dust fell from above, and the tomb passage under our feet showed signs of collapse.
Mu Lingling squatted next to me and wiped the blood from my body. With tears in her eyes, she said something about my machismo.
I feel pain in my body and feel joy in my heart. At first glance, this Mu Lingling is not a smart and capable woman like Zhou Ya, but more like a silly and sweet person who exchanges injuries for her affection. This deal is not a loss.
Judging from the current situation, my beauty trap is very successful.
Wait to stop the bleeding on your body.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Zheng, how did you find this place?"
When Zhu Huan heard this, he wanted to tell me a story with all his teeth and claws.
I stopped him and said, "Mr. Zheng, please tell me. This kid can't understand."
Mr. Zheng did not speak directly, but asked: "Do you think it is normal for these mice to appear?"
I shook my head.
Mr. Zheng said: "That underground river was actually created by manpower, and there are many animals raised underneath."
