piecing together the soul

Chapter 153
After Brother Xiu and I moved inside for a while, Master Xu began to dig soil on both sides again in order to make the crack in the stone slab wider.

A faint sliver of moonlight or starlight leaked in from the hole above the slant, and his busy shadow could appear from time to time from that light and shadow.I didn't look back, but continued to pat and dig the soil with the shovel. Brother Xiu still held me tightly, for fear that I might be in any danger.After digging for a while, Master Xu's exclamation suddenly came from above.

"Ah! Ah!"

The first sound is still very clear, but the second sound is a little fuzzy!
Eh, what?Brother Xiu and I turned around in response, and found that the light that came in from the outside just now had disappeared, and only Brother Xiu's soul was still glowing with faint light. The situation was so sudden that both of us were taken aback .

"Master Xu!" I called out first.But no answer.

Brother Xiu said: "Maybe Xiao Han encountered some mechanism? He will be fine outside, at least he can escape, but you..."

I also understand that the light above is gone, the entrance I smashed in should be sealed by the stone slab again, right?However, the last part of brother Xiu's bones are close at hand, even if he wants to get out, it should be after taking the bones.

So I said, "Let's focus first and get this last bone out of yours. Come on, move forward, the space I've opened should be big enough for my upper body to lean in."

Brother Xiu still hugged me, but I turned around and lay on my stomach, and leaned forward. He held me firmly and hugged me tightly. However, when I leaned forward, the pain on my waist The rope was tight.

Shit!What was originally intended to be used for double insurance has now become an obstacle. Sure enough, everything has two sides!
"No, I have to turn back." So Brother Xiu took two steps back, I turned over and sat up a little, first untied the rope around my waist, in order to prevent the rope from getting lost later, I put it on my feet On the one hand, it not only reduces the rope used for the circle, but also reduces the length of the rope used by one leg length, so that the rope is slightly more plentiful.

After that, I took out the small flashlight from the bag, opened it and bit it in my mouth.Because I really don't have extra hands to take it.After getting ready, I turned over and went forward again.

About another meter of space was taken, and I dug forward carefully. Finally, in a pile of gray-brown soil, I found white bones, and not one, but several almost parallel bones.

This is Brother Xiu's upper body, right?

Apparently Brother Xiu saw it too, he hugged me and moved towards me, and I also reached out to reach for those bones.

I worked very hard and quickly grabbed one of them. Since the soil here is very loose, I directly pulled the bone towards me. As expected, I really pulled it. When I got closer, I put my hands on the inner sides of several parallel ribs, applying force evenly.At this time, my arms were already a little sore. After all, I had just dug the soil for a long time. In addition, I was afraid that too much force would make this pile of bones fall apart, so the progress was very slow.

I intend to take a break before continuing to pull, but I dare not let go, for fear that if I let go, I will lose this last part of the bone.I grabbed as many bones as I could and looked back at Brother Soo.

He was complete in my eyes.

With his still handsome face, he looked at me with a smile and nodded.

As if recharged, I continued to apply gentle pressure, pulling the bone toward me until it broke free of the earth and back into the air.I shook the dirt on them, took off my backpack, took out some of the equipment in the bag and put it on, and stuffed the bones in.

"I feel different now." Brother Xiu said very happily, "I feel that my soul is much more relaxed and clear, this feeling can't be better! I really don't understand those ghosts with complete bones Ah, such a great feeling, why do you want to become those wraiths."

In this way, the last part of the bones was dug out by me.Listening to brother Xiu's joyful nagging, my heart is much calmer than I imagined.There is no excessive joy, maybe because we are still stuck in it and can't get out.

"Now it's time to think about how to get out." I put the flashlight in my mouth into my hand and said.

Brother Xiu nodded: "Yes, yes, let's find a way to go out and meet Xiao Han, and then we can leave! You don't have to take any risks for me anymore, that's great!"

It seems that this is really Brother Xiu's long-cherished wish, otherwise, why would he be so happy.While being moved by his affection for me, I was still observing the surrounding environment.

However, after looking around, I found that there is nothing to observe here.Because there is really soil all around, there is no difference at all.It looked like the only breakout was where I fell.

"Let's go back." Said, Brother Xiu responded and took me to the place where I fell into.

I held up the flashlight and shook it. The stone slab above seemed to have been repaired, and there was no trace of being knocked at all, so I reached out and knocked on it.

"Boom, boom."

"This voice..." I felt that the voice was a little different.

It was Brother Xiu who said it first: "This voice is much more realistic than when I heard it from above."

"No, no, just now I could only hear an empty sound from below." I said, "Maybe... the soil on the top has been filled back by itself... Or, this stone slab is no longer the stone slab just now, otherwise there would be no sound." Such a voice."

"What are you talking about?" Brother Xiu said, "How could the soil on the top be filled back by itself..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly hesitated, and then I saw some changes in his face.

"how?"

"You may be right. If I hadn't stood still just now, and Xiaohan reacted quickly, and her hands and feet were quick, you might not be able to find the place where you fell in a little later. The soil here seems to be a little strange." Same."

Hearing what he said, I subconsciously looked back.

A lot of the soil that I flattened just now has returned to its original appearance, and the gap where I came in is indeed smaller than when I first came in.

Could it be that these soils...are like sponges...will bounce back by themselves?
Apparently Brother Xiu also saw this, so he said, "Could it be that Xiao Han was buried in these soils?"

"No." I shook my head, "The soil is bouncing back gradually. This gradual change is not enough to cause a scream... On the contrary, when I just fell down, I wanted to scream."

"You mean, Xiao Han also fell down?"
