The two walked awkwardly for a long time, and the surrounding cave was still very spacious. Looking up, the top of the stone wall above was sometimes higher and sometimes lower. Sometimes the stone wall was right on their heads, and sometimes it was as high as several stories.
Wei Jing felt strange about this and murmured to himself: "I fell from the third underground floor to this strange place. This is actually the third and a half underground floors! But I don't know if there is a fourth underground floor... Maybe it's Yao San above." Chicken's medicine shop, just dig a hole and let him fall down. The next step up is the underground level of Laihu City, and the higher level is the ground level of Laihu City. There is a lot of traffic, but who knows that the ground is empty, so why won't it collapse? Are these underground rocks so solid?”
The two of them walked away like this, and they didn't know how many days and nights they had been walking.
Wei Jing guessed that people who dug underground to get to the lake in the past excavated to the third floor underground and found that the excavated passage was connected to the vast pool cave, so they changed their route to explore elsewhere.
I thought there might be a passage back to the third underground level in other places in this pool cave.
Whenever they were hungry during these days, they would try to catch fish from the pool to eat. When they couldn't catch the fish, they would drink enough water.
Wei Jing also wore crocodile skin armor under his clothes, which could still withstand the cold. Although Gongsun Yao was injured, he had practiced swordsmanship since childhood and had a strong physique. He could barely hold on despite having fresh fish to eat every day. Live.
On this day, the two of them walked in a daze, avoiding some caves with strange insects and turning into a relatively clean passage. Wei Jing hesitated for a long time because he was afraid that those caves with poisonous insects would be the opposite. It's a way out, but I don't want to let strange bugs crawl all over my body again. There is no anthelmintic medicine like Sanji at this time, and I will definitely not survive the stings.
At this time, the two of them were in a long passage. There were many wide and deep water holes in front of them. The surroundings were dark. Gongsun Yao, who was leading the way, had to stretch out his toes at every step and test the front for a long time before he dared to continue. Take the next step to avoid stepping in the water.
Wei Jing groaned, grabbed Gongsun Yao's arm, and signaled him to stop.
In the past few days, he often pricked up his ears to listen to what was going on around him, fearing that the big crocodile would not be satisfied after eating thousands of miles and would eat them.
"Listen, what's that hissing sound?" Wei Jing whispered.
"What hiss?"
Wei Jing looked left and right, only to hear a faint sound of breathing. The passage was darker than the previous vast cave, and the two could only vaguely see each other's figures.
"Maybe it's the sound of the wind blowing in the cave..." Gongsun Yao continued to walk forward.
Wei Jing took out his eight hands, pulled out a knife, and followed nervously. The two of them walked another ten steps, and the hissing sound became more obvious, and even Gongsun Yao heard it.
"Is it a crocodile? Crocodiles don't make such sounds, right?" Wei Jing gasped for air.
Gongsun Yao let out a sigh and said, "This is more like the sound of human breathing."
"Who's breathing so loudly?"
The two chatted quietly for a few words, but couldn't come to any conclusion, so they continued walking forward.
After walking a few more steps, Gongsun Yao was suddenly startled. When he tapped lightly with his toes to explore the path, he always hit either a water hole or a rocky ground, but the touch from his toes was soft.
Wei Jing heard Gongsun Yao's low voice and asked quickly: "What's wrong? What's ahead?"
"This seems to be..." Gongsun Yao leaned down and reached out to touch, only to find that there was a person lying in front of his feet. He didn't know whether he was asleep or fainted, and he was motionless.
"This is a person!" Wei Jing also came over and touched him, and only touched the thick and curly beard on the man's cheek.
Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao yelled and shook the man, but he didn't wake up and didn't know whether he was injured or sick.
The two of them discussed it and decided that they could not leave him here, so they had to take an arm of the man and carry him away.
"Alas...this guy smells and is heavy!" Wei Jing frowned and complained all the way. He felt that this guy's arms and body were not as strong as Fan Jun's, but he was surprisingly heavy and emitted bursts of sour odor, like several Haven't had a shower in months.
The two of them were already weak after suffering underground for so many days. Now they were walking more slowly and awkwardly with a strange man in their arms, but they felt a little more hopeful. They thought that since they found someone here, it meant that there might be someone nearby. There is another way out.
After an unknown amount of time, the eyes of the two of them gradually became brighter. This passage connected to another pool cave, which was still a winding pool and some small beaches.
The two dragged the weirdo up to a rock and squatted beside it to rest. Wei Jing saw some shiny moss growing on the surrounding stone walls, but there were no strange insects that fed on the moss. As a result, this pool cave was much brighter than the places he had passed in the previous few days.
He and Gongsun Yao went to the bank of the pool to drink water and wash their faces. Wei Jing saw that the swelling on Gongsun Yao's face that had been stung by bees had subsided, and his plucked eyebrows had grown back, and he had returned to his original handsome appearance. He still had a crew cut, and he hadn't combed his face for several days, and there were some beards on his lips and chin.
"Gongsun Yao, it turns out that you can also grow a beard." Wei Jing chuckled twice, touched his chin and a few short thin beards, and shouted in surprise: "Ah, I'm starting to grow a beard too! "
"Yes, men will grow beards when they grow up." Gongsun Yao drank enough water and wiped his mouth.
Wei Jing carefully stroked other parts of his face, checking whether there were any beards besides the three strands on his chin, and murmured to himself: "If it's like Fan Jun, it's ugly to have stubble all over his face, then Except for the beard on his face, this guy has hair all over his hands and feet, and he even has hair on his chest and abdomen. Tell me, is this a human or an ape?"
"Everyone's physique is different..." Gongsun Yao smiled bitterly and turned around to inspect the weirdo just brought up.
Through the light of the moss, the two saw that the strange man was dressed in rags, his face was full of dirt and grime, his beard and hair were tangled, and he was several times dirtier and smellier than the beggars who came to Lake City.
The two noticed that he did have a lot of scars on his body, but they seemed to be old injuries.
Like Fan Jun, he has a scar on his face, from his left forehead across his left eye to the corner of his mouth, so his left eye is a sunken and tangled eyelid.
There are also two terrible scars on his neck that go deep into the collar. The sleeves of both arms are rolled up to the upper arms. Both arms are dark and have many old scars. The color of those scars is the same as the skin, but the protruding flesh marks on the scars are It was ferocious and twisted, and one could imagine how deep the sword's scar was.
"Perhaps he was also being hunted by his enemies, so he came to the underground lake to take refuge." Wei Jing saw this strange man's appearance, and it reminded him of Wu Yufu who fled to his home at that time. He also looked like this at that time.
Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao talked about Wu Yufu's escape to his own home. Gongsun Yao sighed and said: "Brother Wu died in order to avenge his righteous father. He was extremely righteous and brave. My grandfather died at the hands of the Tianmen gangsters." Up here, Gongsun’s family was slaughtered, but I can only live like a mouse in the ground, I’m really ashamed.”
"Then you live a good life and think of a way to deal with Chu Tianmen!" Wei Jing said, and added: "Don't play assassination anymore, you have to succeed in killing. Brother Wu is indeed loyal enough. , but he...well, I always feel that he died in vain."
"I think it's worth dying for loyalty, filial piety, and repaying kindness." Gongsun Yao said seriously.
Wei Jingzheng felt that no one was quarreling with him these days, and his mouth was itching, so he replied: "That's right, but life is more meaningful. Did you know that there is a man with two legs in the lake underground? He used to protect it alone The people of a street are not bullied by the Field Mouse Gang. If he dies for no reason, the people of that street will suffer. Then, I have to mention Bei Lu, the elder of Feixue Villa. He is no longer alive, but his granddaughter is still alive. Now, it was the guy who rescued us in Dayang Mansion. Speaking of that guy, he was also bored. He kept pestering me and drove for several days to a fishing village on the coast, but he suppressed two gangs that were causing harm to the village. Tell me about it , is this more meaningful than dying in vain for revenge?"
"Maybe..." Gongsun Yao replied with a sigh.
"Then we have to mention Scar Wang Fanjun and Uncle Wei of Xiaoyuan Village. These two people were also bored and went to Dayang's house to stir up trouble for no reason. Uncle Wei said it was because of one of his brothers, and he also had a copper skin. Tiegu blocked the guy two or three times and spent a lot of effort to rescue him. Unfortunately, the guy was so stupid that he sighed and cried every day. He always said he wanted to die, which wasted all the hard work of King Scar and Uncle Wei. , Then Scar King may still be hunted by Chuangtianmen, alas..." Wei Jing said, shaking his head vigorously and sighing.
