Just when I walked under the white-robed general tree, suddenly the cell phone in my pocket rang. I took out the phone and found that it was a text message.
I pressed the read button, and a line of words jumped out, "Be careful of those around you!"
This message has no beginning and no end. Where the phone number should be displayed, there is a series of garbled numbers. Needless to say, it is a string of garbled characters.
I looked at the words on the phone and looked back at Li Su with doubts in my heart. I frowned slightly and thought to myself: "Who could have sent this to me? What does this person want? He is trying to remind me with good intentions. ? Or do you have ulterior motives?"
Seeing that I suddenly stood still, Li Su came over in confusion and asked, "Hu Tian, what's wrong with you?"
I shook my head, and just as I was about to speak, Li Su noticed the phone in my hand, so he asked, "What? What's the matter?"
I didn't tell Li Su about the text message, I just said lightly: "It's nothing...just spam messages. I thought it was the news from Xiong Ming and the others, but it turned out not to be the case. I'm just a little disappointed!"
Li Su didn't have any doubts about my words. She patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! Everything will develop in a good direction! For us, the most important thing now is to figure out this aquatic village." What’s the secret!”
I nodded, kicked the phone into my pocket, and said, "You're right!"
After saying that, I turned around and got into the tree hole.
The outside of the white-robed general was burning hot, but he couldn't feel any warmth inside. It seemed that someone had applied some kind of heat-insulating material to the inside of the ancient tree.
Inside the White Robe General is a very long ladder. Li Su and I walked all the way down the ladder and reached the bottom in a few minutes.
I originally thought that there should be a closed stone chamber underneath, but to my surprise, underneath the white-robed general was a semi-natural and semi-artificial tunnel.
The tunnel was very short and dark, so Li Su and I could only use our flashlights and crawl inside little by little.
I crawled forward for a while and found that this tunnel seemed to have just been excavated not long ago. There were many chisels on the surrounding stone walls that were still new. Some of the stones scattered on the ground even had sharp points, which scratched my arms and knees. Blood was oozing out.
However, fortunately, this tunnel is not very long. If calculated carefully, the distance is less than a hundred meters.
So, Li Su and I crawled out when we didn't have much time.
After exiting the tunnel, the two of us came to a stone room.
Like the tunnel, this stone chamber seemed to have just been dug out not long ago. Perhaps due to the tight construction schedule, everything inside seemed very rough.
I held up the flashlight and looked around, and found a copper box placed in the southeast corner.
The copper box was very large, about one meter, fifty or sixty centimeters long, its width seemed to be about seventy or eighty centimeters, and its height was about one meter.
I looked at the box and touched the key in my pants pocket. Just when I was debating whether to go up and open it, I suddenly heard two more "dings".
"It's a text message! Why is there still signal in this place?" I was slightly stunned, but then I thought to myself: "Did that person send me some other message?"
Thinking of this, I subconsciously put my hand into my pocket and prepared to take out my phone.
But who could have imagined that as soon as my hand touched the phone in my pocket, I was suddenly hit hard on the back of my head. The severe pain accompanied by an indescribable dizziness spread throughout my body almost in the blink of an eye.
I wanted to reach out and cover the injured back of my head, but as soon as I turned around, before I could lift my arm, I was hit with another stick.
This time, I saw clearly that the person who hit me was none other than Li Su.
As the wooden stick in her hand was thrown aside, I fell to the ground with a "plop".
My head was dizzy, and everything in front of me was blurry. The severe pain made my chest tighten again and again. I wanted to open my mouth and ask Li Su why he was like this, but for a long time, not even a word came out of my mouth. .
Li Su seemed to be smiling when she saw my appearance, and her mouth seemed to be moving, but I couldn't hear what she was saying clearly.
Slowly, I felt Li Su's hands touching my body, "She... is she looking for the key?" I couldn't help but think to myself: "No! She is not looking for the key... …She’s looking for the phone in my pocket!”
I tried hard to stay awake, but those two blows by Li Su just now were too hard. At this time, my consciousness began to become more and more blurry. Faintly, I only heard Li Su say, "It turns out he always wanted to help you..."
After that, Li Su seemed to have fed me some unknown water. The taste was fishy and bitter, and my stomach began to churn as soon as I took it into my mouth.
I wanted to vomit, but before I could react, Li Su covered my mouth and nose tightly.
Li Su's hand was very heavy and he didn't mean to be polite at all. After a while, I felt a severe feeling of suffocation. After a while, I didn't know anything anymore.
Darkness immediately swept through my body like a tide, and my consciousness seemed to fall into an endless abyss, with no light or hope.
Darkness itself is not scary, what is scary is that it will make despair breed in your heart.
Despair and hope are natural rivals. One is like a virus hiding in the shadows. As long as you don't pay attention to it, it will start to breed wantonly. The other is like the sunshine hiding behind the clouds. As long as you can endure it, it will eventually... There will be a light that makes you feel warm.
Having said that, when you look up and find that the sky is filled with dark clouds and there is no light at all, are you confident enough to wait for the light to appear?
I don't have this confidence, but I see the light.
The light came from the flashlight. A person was holding my eyelids with his hands and said, "The pupils are responding to the light. This kid is about to wake up!"
Due to the strong light, I couldn't see clearly what this person looked like, but I could see that this guy was wearing a white coat. He looked like he was a doctor.
"Doctor?" I thought to myself: "Did I be sent to the hospital by Li Su? What kind of joke is she doing?"
I wanted to move, but after trying several times I found that my hands and feet were tied.
I was suddenly startled when I saw this, and immediately spoke loudly: "Where is this place? Why are you tying me up? Who are you?"
As soon as I opened my mouth, a female nurse next to me skillfully passed a syringe. When I saw this, I immediately shouted: "What do you want to do?"
The female nurse didn't even look at me and pricked my arm directly. Immediately afterwards, I felt the blood vessels in my arm go cold, and then my consciousness became blurred again.
