Thousand Lantern Night

Chapter 44 CHAPTER (44) Picked up a stray unicorn

The girl smiled at me. If her eyes weren't so weird, she would still look pretty.Then she started to pull me up hard, making a "da da" sound from her mouth, as if she was talking to me.I noticed a protruding stone on my right, so I pointed there with my vacant finger, motioning for her to throw me over.

Shi Ji seems to have a good understanding, and she understood when I pointed at her like this, and threw me at the stone with all my strength.Her strength was unexpectedly large, a little too much.I jumped to the right following the traction, one foot stepped on the stone, but the other slipped, and I fell down on my side.The stone was only half a meter wide, and I almost rolled off the edge.Fortunately, Shi Ji also jumped down from the top and gave me a hand smoothly.

Wang Jianqiang's angry voice came from the hole above: "Little bastard, run away again and I will shoot you!" He searched with a flashlight as he said, and then fired two shots in the direction where we were hiding, but at a relatively wide angle. .I cling to the stone wall behind me to hide as much as possible, making sure that the straight light of the flashlight does not reach me.Shi Ji patted me, stretched out a hand and grabbed my wrist, beckoning me to follow her.

In the dark, I seemed to be blindfolded, and only relying on Shi Ji's guidance, I groped and climbed down from the cliff.There was no movement from Wang Jianqiang up there, and I was a little bit on tenterhooks, fearing that he might snipe somewhere.After a long time, Shi Ji and I climbed to the head of the suspension bridge, but Wang Jianqiang was still silent. I thought he might have gone astray with us.To be cautious, I squeezed Shi Ji's hand to remind her to cross the bridge as soon as possible.

The strange thing is that when we approached the suspension bridge, my eyes could see the shadow of the dilapidated suspension bridge extending to the opposite side. I don't know where there is a very strange light source emitting light.The light was very faint and vague, not much better than the hazy moonlight.Below the suspension bridge is a gully whose depth cannot be measured visually, like a grand canyon across in front of us.

The dilapidation of the suspension bridge made me feel a little chilled. All the logs used for reinforcement have been rotted away. It seems that there are only four or five parallel iron chains left in the whole bridge.If anything, it's akin to tightrope walking.

Shi Ji didn't care, she grabbed my hand and asked me to follow her.I glanced at her and suddenly felt very embarrassed.So far, this girl is still the best!I asked her to wait, then took off my jacket and put it on her.Fortunately, she is petite, and my coat can cover her knees.I zipped her up, and gestured her to go.

Shi Ji chuckled, pulled my hands and feet apart to step on the two iron chains, and moved forward bit by bit.At this time, I knew that Xiao Hua's seemingly easy tightrope walking skills were amazing. I firmly grasped the two iron chains at the waist with both hands, and walked with my feet parallel to the two iron chains below. It was extremely strenuous, and soon sweated profusely.But seeing that there is still a long way ahead, I can only grit my teeth and continue walking.

Shi Ji came back in front of me to see if I could keep up, and I nodded to her to show that I could persevere.She smiled and turned around to leave. Suddenly, two sudden gunshots rang out. A bullet hit the iron chain in my hand, and a cluster of sparks exploded around my left wrist.

I retracted my left hand almost instinctively, and the weight of the tilt made the entire suspension bridge shake.

"Stinky boy, you are looking for death!" Wang Jianqiang's voice came from the darkness, and I didn't even know where he was.

But soon the whole bridge shook violently. Before I saw Wang Jianqiang, I felt the vibration caused by him climbing the suspension bridge.The shaking showed that Wang Jianqiang was coming in the direction of our bridge. I opened my eyes wide in surprise and saw him suddenly appearing behind me as if he had emerged from a black curtain.

He was still holding the gun in his hand, with a distorted expression on his face, and while striding towards us, he pointed the gun at my hands and feet angrily and hit me.Although he tried his best to restrain himself from killing me with a single shot, it was enough to make me panic.Seeing that I would not be able to run for a while, I was just about to say that we had a truce and go together in a team, but he was so angry that he slapped his mouth.

The guy was big and big, and this solid old punch hit me on the jaw, and I staggered and slipped sideways.I thought it was going to be worse, one foot was already in the air, and only one hand was hanging on the body so that I didn't fall.Who knew that he hadn't let go of his anger, and kicked my waist twice again, and now I couldn't stand anymore, and my whole body sank suddenly.

Fortunately, Shi Ji suddenly turned from the front, supported the iron chain with both hands, and kicked Wang Jianqiang in the chest.Na Biaohan didn't expect Shi Ji's strength to be so strong, and she fell backwards.

At the same time, Wang Jianqiang and I grabbed the bottom iron chain and hung on it. He actually did a pull-up with his amazing arm strength, and quickly stood firmly on it again.At this moment, Shi Ji grabbed the iron chain with one hand and bent down to pull me up.I saw Wang Jianqiang's face above Shi Ji, and I panicked for some reason, wanting to tell Shi Ji to leave quickly.

But I couldn't speak, I could only open my mouth wide to watch Wang Jianqiang stomp on Shi Ji's back.I raised my head and shook my head fiercely at Shi Ji, signaling her to go quickly, but she didn't know what happened, and she didn't realize it, and desperately grabbed me.

Several consecutive gunshots exploded above my head like thunder. I was horrified to see Shi Ji's stone-carved eyes widen suddenly, but felt the strength in her hand was about to cut off my wrist.I let out a whining noise indiscriminately, and saw Shi Ji's head slowly drooping down.The skin on her face was becoming like her eyes, weathered statues.Her lips squirmed, and for the first time, she made a hoarse voice similar to that of a human being: "Bao, Hu, Tian, ​​Zhen——"

At that moment, I couldn't tell what it was like, no matter what she was, I just felt that she was no different from a real person.Wang Jianqiang grabbed me and lifted me up.After I regained my control, he glared at me angrily, and suddenly kicked Shi Ji's body twice, kicking her off the chain.

I didn't even have time to react, I watched Shi Ji disappear under the deep ravine.Wang Jianqiang put a gun to my head and said sternly, "I told you to play tricks on me! Go away!"

I closed my eyes hard, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the roaring emotions. Wang Jianqiang held the gun against me, and slid forward on the dilapidated suspension bridge like a machine.

The sound of the water flowing under the gully became more urgent, and there was even the sound of the water being stirred, mixed with a few weak and long breathing sounds.

I'm sure I heard that sound as clearly as I had just entered this underground.

We climbed across the suspension bridge in silence, and it took a long time to reach the opposite stone wall.The drawbridge is fixed directly to the stone wall and leads to a deep, dark cave.Wang Jianqiang took a photo with his flashlight, and the entrance of the cave looked like a huge mouth, and the two bridge piles stood up like two pillars, like two canine teeth in the mouth of a giant beast.I looked up, and there was a stone sculpture on one of the bridge piers, which looked a bit like an evil spirit beast.

Wang Qiangqiang's gun never left my forehead. He stuffed the map into my hand and said in an orderly tone: "Check the map! Show me the map carefully. If the road is right, go quickly!"

I compared the marks on the map and walked straight into the cave.The stone path in the cave is a bit inclined, like a spiral direction.After walking about 200 meters inside, a huge stone gate appeared.

The moment I saw Shimen for the first time, I was in a trance state.The memory overlaps with the bronze door in Changbai Mountain, and I seem to still see Poker Bottle mixed in with the Yin soldiers, mouthing goodbye to me.At this moment I feel that I am in front of the same door, trying to solve the riddle of fate.

As soon as Wang Jianqiang saw the door, he got excited, and pressed my head with the muzzle of the gun, urging me: "Go in and have a look!"

Now I have an angry Tuzki in my heart, still the bloody and violent version, trampling Wang Jianqiang under his feet and stabbing him desperately with a knife.People's emotions often have a flexible space, while the flexibility of Lengtouqing is relatively small.So when Wang Jianqiang poked my forehead with a gun again, I finally broke out, turned around and punched him in the face.Fuck meow, I quit!

Wang Jianqiang was beaten back a few steps by me, he instinctively wanted to shoot, but this guy's inner quality is still quite solid, so he held back abruptly.He laughed a few times, came over and put his hands on the back of my neck, "Ha! Good boy, is your stubbornness coming up again?"

He made a strong hand, and I clenched my fists and prepared to fight back.Unexpectedly, he softened instead, and after patting me twice, he put his arms around my shoulders and twisted me towards Shimen, "Look at you losing your temper, can't big brother apologize to you? Look, we can count now On the same path, right? If you lose your temper and get stuck here, you won’t be able to afford it when the food runs out and the water dries up. Come on, let’s find a way to open the door. If there is any kind of grudge, it’s better to wait until we get out. good?"

This bastard is coaxing me like a three-year-old child, I stared at him hummingly, and pointed at my throat hard, with an angry expression on my face.The pair of small eyes on Wang Jianqiang's pan face were narrowed into a slit, "Oh brother, I'm really sorry, but this matter was explained by the superiors, isn't there nothing you can do about it! Well, wait out Let me vent to you, okay?"

Rely on his ancestors!This bullshit is like telling you to go out and buy you a lollipop, but it makes me suddenly powerless.My anger was stripped naked like this, and I became a skinny toothpick naked.Seeing that I didn't resist anymore, Wang Jianqiang put his gun away with a smile and put his arms around me and walked two steps closer to Shimen, "That's right, look, we still have such a huge project!"

I slapped his paw away with my backhand, and grabbed the flashlight to shine on the door.The gap between the two doors was so loose that a hand could almost fit sideways.I used a flashlight to illuminate it, and found that the gap could not be seen to the bottom. There seemed to be a wall behind the door. When the light shone in, I could vaguely see the rust of the bronze.A groove was made where the stone door landed, firmly embedded in the bottom of the door.Don't look, it should be the same above.

After studying up, down, left, and right, I deduced the design of this stone gate with the spatial imagination of architecture: two cross-sections of the stone gate with spectacular thickness, and two "U"-shaped grooves that are mouth-to-mouth are chiseled from top to bottom. , After the stone gate is closed, pour bronze water into the "U"-shaped groove, and when the bronze is filled and solidified, the bronze plate becomes the bolt that fastens the stone gate.

In this way, there is no need for the top post, and the function of the top post can be brought into full play. I have to say that this simple mechanism is very clever.It is almost impossible to push open the fixed stone door first, not to mention the two interlocking structures of the bronze plate and the upper and lower door casings.On the other hand, with the crude equipment of the two of us, an on-site laparotomy is probably the fastest way to get in.

"How about it, kid, do you have any insights?" Wang Jianqiang squatted on the edge of the groove with me, and pointed to the crack of the door with his finger.

I shrugged at him and spread my hands.Said I can't help it.

"Boy, you are a fucking expert in fighting! You didn't foresee this kind of situation? Fortunately, our boss was thoughtful and prepared explosives. Learn from it, boy!" Wang Jianqiang slapped his head in shock Get up, turn around and look through his equipment.

I was in a cold sweat.Xin said that this guy is really a dangerous person, no matter how stable the explosives are, he still dares to carry a large bag of explosives on his body.Besides, I really don't know what kind of explosives he brought. If the explosion is full of poisonous gas, I will lose my life.

I turned my head and looked at the hole. There was a cliff two or three hundred meters away, and a deep ravine below. It seemed that it was not so easy for us to find a hiding place during the blasting.I grabbed Wang Jianqiang, wanting to remind him not to yell and kill, and then see if there is another way.When I put my hand on his shoulder, I suddenly saw snakes surrounding us.

Wang Jianqiang didn't raise his head, "What are you doing? Don't rush!"

Urge your mother!I cursed in my heart and hit him twice hard.Only then did he feel something was wrong, and turned around to scold me, but as soon as his eyes slipped to my face, he slipped back immediately, staring at the weird scene behind us speechless. "Damn it, what is this!"

Obviously I don't know what that is either.They were the size of a dachshund, and at first glance they looked like snakes.But they have spiny fins on their backs, and a pair of claws on their head, chest, and abdomen, not to mention disgusting.Their heads are not the heads of snakes, but like sticklebacks, with wide and wide mouths, bared to reveal two rows of pointed teeth.From my point of view, there are a bunch of fangs densely packed.In the darkness behind, there were still accomplices crawling in one after another, and it seemed that they came up from the ditch.

I gave Wang Jianqiang a smirk, and poked the pack of mixed explosives in his hand from a distance with my finger.In this case, if we apply the plot of the TV series, Wang Jianqiang would throw the explosives aggressively, and we both hugged our heads and crouched down to the corner, waiting for all the snakes, snakes, fishes, and fishes to be blown up, full of air He got up and patted his body clean and continued to study the technique of entering the door.If it happens that these things are still edible, maybe I can add some protein by the way.

The reality is that those snake fish are too close to us, it happens that this pack of strong explosives is a strong military explosive, once it is blown out, those snake fish are dead, yes, both of us will be burned instantly into a roast pig.If there is another coincidence that blows up this hole, it will just provide us with a one-stop funeral service.

Of course Brother Qiang knew this truth, so he quickly put down the explosives and replaced the gun in his hand, "Damn it, I won't let me stop!"

This guy has a very murderous intention, and he will kill if he pulls the trigger.The clear sound of loading made the snake fish group quiet for a second, and in the next second, several fish jumped into the air like a spring, and rushed towards us.

Wang Qiangqiang hit the snake fish with several shots in succession, and the fish fell to the ground immediately.The group behind immediately went crazy, bouncing over in pieces.I scolded Wang Jianqiang fiercely in my heart, he is a bastard, it doesn't matter how long he can last with those bullets, it killed me!Of course, I have no other choice but to grab some broken stones and throw them.

The attack speed of the snake fish school was so fast that I could only touch the stone from the ground and throw it out. For a second, I seemed to see a white light in the gap where the stone door and the groove were stuck. I immediately did the most direct Reaction: Grab it and throw it.But soon I yelled and quickly withdrew my hand.There were several deep cuts on the palm of my hand, and my hand was dripping with blood.

Annoyed that I didn't have time to check the injury at all, so I could only hold my right hand tightly and grab the stone with my left hand.Wang Jianqiang was out of bullets at this time, so he pulled a small slate out of nowhere and played those snake fish like baseballs.He rushed up and slapped those flying things, and stomped on those who fell to the ground if he couldn't hit them.Soon a layer of corpses piled up under his feet.However, his situation was not very optimistic. Two claws crawled up his waist and thighs. The bottoms of the claws of those things sucked his clothes like suction cups, and the sharp teeth were nimbly tearing.

I also wanted to learn from him to get a slate, and suddenly something bit my hiking boots.My immediate reaction was that it was a snake fish. I raised my foot and wanted to give it a kick, but found that what bit my boot was a lump of white stuff, the size of a rabbit, and looked like a Pekingese.

There will never be stray dogs in a place like Nima!I didn't have time to think about it, the fighting mode was driving crazily, and I just gave it a kick.Unexpectedly, the thing disappeared in the blink of an eye, and I staggered and bumped into Wang Jianqiang.Wang Jianqiang yelled, "What the hell are you doing!" Pushing me away, I got up angrily.

When we pulled and pushed each other to get up, we saw the snakes and fish fleeing in a panic like a tide.There was a series of sounds of falling water in the gully.If it weren't for the corpses piled up on the ground, the scene just now would have been like a dream.I helped to tear off the snake fish caught on Wang Jianqiang's body and threw it to the wall and fell to his death. Then I was dumbfounded to see the dog-like thing sitting on my boot just now.

"Yo? What the hell is this? Is it a dog?" Wang Jianqiang rubbed his arms while staring at the "dog" vigilantly.

I didn't dare to move, for fear of some strange and deadly thing.The thing raised its head and looked at me for a few seconds, and suddenly a white light flashed and rushed out of the cave.While I was wondering, it rushed back quickly, wagging its head and wagging its tail around me like a dog, and scratched my legs with its front paws.

"Is it telling us that it helped us get rid of those things?" Wang Jianqiang asked me, frowning.

I shook my head, knelt down and tried to touch it.The "dog" suddenly straightened its front paws and pounced on my knees, and licked my mouth with lightning speed.The cold touch made me fall backwards, and the thing took the opportunity to pounce on me and lick my right hand frantically.I was startled, and when I threw it away, I was shocked to find that the wound on my right hand had healed inexplicably.If it weren't for the blood stains on my hands, I wouldn't be able to believe this is true.

I was sitting on the ground, and the thing climbed up and sat on my lap, and its eyes were almost star-studded.I looked at it dumbfounded, and found that it looked more like a miniature lion than a dog.Its whole body of white hair is curled up dirty, and its fluffiness makes it look round.Its eyes are very big, a little exaggerated, like two bells.The face is similar to that of a Pekingese dog, a bit like the "three-inch nail" raised by my grandfather, but the mouth is much wider than the dog.As for the tail, it is very short, and it is actually a tuft of flame-shaped hair.

Wang Jianqiang also sat down against the stone gate, probably also looking at this inexplicable thing.After a while he suddenly said: "Boy, do you think this thing - looks a bit like the thing on the pier at the entrance of the cave? It looks like a unicorn?"

I took a look at Wang Jianqiang, and saw that he was serious and didn't look like he was joking.I didn't take a closer look at what the evil spirit beast on the bridge pier was before, but after he said it like this, it was really similar.I picked up the dog and took a closer look, almost drowning in my own saliva.

Could this really be a wandering unicorn? !
