Tomb Raider

Chapter 9 Entering the Tomb (3)
After the gun came down, Lao Hu followed closely behind.However, his movements were quite agile, and he stood by my side in less than 2 minutes, quietly looking at the aisle ahead.

This is a man-made excavation, and some rotten straw can be seen with the help of the light.Sure enough, just as I thought, this is just the authenticity of the villagers when they evacuated.

The aisle was like daylight under the illumination of the miner's lamp. I tiptoed to look at it. The aisle was a bit winding. The light only illuminated the place in front of us, but the corner in front was still dark.Liu Qi opened the way ahead with a miner's lamp, I was in the middle, and Lao Hu followed closely behind.

About ten meters away, cold wind poured down from the top of my head, and then I looked up at the light, and saw a palm-sized hole delivering air.It may be that when the tunnel was dug at that time, considering the long stay time, such a small hole was deliberately dug to provide oxygen.

The four of us went deeper and deeper into the aisle, Liu Qiren walked in the front, Mr. and I were in the middle, and Lao Hu watched cautiously behind.In addition to the rotten straw, you can occasionally see one or two mice fleeing in panic.When I got to the bottom, Liu Qi stopped suddenly, and I bumped into him because I was thinking about something, and a smell that made people want to vomit rushed into my nose instantly, and I was almost fainted .When I stabilized my body in a hurry, Lao Hu came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Qi glanced at me, shook his head and said, "The smell is not very obvious, but it should be around here!"

I was taken aback when I heard this, as if I was looking for something.But it's too embarrassing to ask in depth. How can I say that he is also a member of the country, even if I ask, I might not say it.

Lao Hu turned sideways and touched the surrounding cave walls, but he didn't seem to find anything.At this time, a rat's neighing came from the front wall of the cave. Liu Qi was puzzled, and pointed the miner's lamp below, and saw a blood-stained mouse crawling out of the small cave in front. A piece of rotting iron.

□□The three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, I looked at □□ and asked suspiciously.

"I found it!" Lao Hu smiled, walked up to me, patted the wall of the cave where the mouse crawled out, nodded to Liu Qi and said, "It's here!"

Liu Qi handed me the miner's lamp, turned around and took out two folding shovels from the luggage bag and handed the first one.Because the burrow was not very wide, the two of them had to take turns digging each other. □□After digging for almost 5 minutes, he began to pant. Seeing this, Liu Qi pushed him away, and swung the folding shovel by himself.

He kept digging with this folding shovel for nearly 15 minutes. I secretly sighed that this man has great strength. If I had changed it, I would have been so tired that I would have fallen to the ground.

After a while, a small hole was dug open, Liu Qi put down the shovel and asked, "Do you want to try?"

□□Put your hand into the hole, shake your head, take out the lighter from your pocket, turn your head and say to me: "You hide aside, don't face the hole."

Although I didn't know what they were going to do, I still walked behind him honestly. □□Carefully aim the lighter at the hole, and ignite it with a bang. In an instant, a pillar of fire burst out from the small hole like a fire dragon.The temperature in the narrow corridor rose sharply, and the sweat of the four of us continued to drip down our foreheads.It took nearly 5 minutes for the pillar of fire to disappear, during which time the two of them looked surprised.

"What happened just now?" I looked nervously at the entrance of the hole, for fear that it would burst into flames.

Liu Qi glanced at me and kicked the hole open, took the miner's lamp from Lao Hu's hand and swept in a circle.And □ looked into the hole and explained to me: "The pillar of fire just now was ignited when the methane touched the open flame." I nodded with some understanding, and followed him to look over and go in.
