piecing together the soul

Chapter 49 33

After finishing speaking, Mr. Xu went out first, and I quickly followed.Although my skill is not as good as Master Xu's, it is still neat.

Brother Xiu followed behind the two of us. It seemed to me that the surrounding area was dark. Master Xu refused to turn on the light source, so I could only follow him. After walking for a while, he jumped down, and I followed, and then moved on. After walking for a while, he turned on the flashlight.

I haven't seen the light all the time, I feel a little uncomfortable, especially when the light comes back from the opposite side.When I got used to it, I found out that it was the light reflected from the rails.

"How did we get down?" I asked.

Master Xu said, "Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about. Just don't lose the chain when you are needed later."

With that said, he turned off the flashlight and continued walking.My eyes are basically black now, so I can only follow.A gust of wind suddenly blew in the dark subway tunnel, making people feel extremely cold, especially when the wind was blowing from the back.

"Hey, how far is this?" I asked in a low voice.

"You have to ask Xiuying about that." Master Xu also said in a low voice.

I yawned: "Brother Xiu, how far do you think it is? It's past one o'clock, and I'm sleepy."

"It's almost here." Brother Xiu replied very seriously.

We continued to walk, and suddenly I heard a "嗤", which was very sharp.For a moment I thought it was an illusion, but then the sound echoed through the tunnel, making me think it couldn't be fake.

"What's that sound?" I asked subconsciously.

Master Xu seemed to be stunned for a moment, and I bumped into him without stopping.

"What did you hear?" he asked.

I said, "There was an 'ow' sound. I couldn't tell whether it was a man, a woman or a beast. Didn't you hear it?"

In the dark, I saw him seem to shake his head.

"Xiuying," he said immediately, "did you hear that?"

Brother Xiu said, "No, there is no sound at all."

No way, did I hear wrong?
I just had this year, and I only heard another sound of "嗤启", followed by another echo.

"Screaming and screaming," I said, "you haven't heard yet."

Both said no.Suddenly I felt cold all over.

"Can you hear the distance?" Master Xu asked.

I thought for a while: "I can't hear it. What's wrong?"

The three of us slowed down and walked, Brother Xiu said: "It stands to reason that if you can't hear the sound of a living thing, if it's a ghost, how can I not hear it?"

Master Xu also said: "Yeah, I should be able to hear it too. The sound in my ears has never been broken all the way."

"What does it mean that the sound has not been interrupted?" I asked, "Isn't this road all quiet? The sound just now was extremely ear-piercing."

"Don't go." Brother Xiu didn't answer me, but said, "It's probably around here. I'm looking for it. It seems to be on the top. Xiuying, get ready."

"Success." As he said, Brother Xiu floated up and down to search, Master Xu finally allowed me to give him a light, and he opened his backpack to pick up things.

"Aw—" there was another sound.This time I paid attention, and found that I couldn't hear the distance, but this one was longer than the two just now.

"You really can't hear?" I asked.

Mr. Xu said: "I can't hear you. Just leave it alone. I'll dig things later, so you should pay attention to the surroundings. Let's not worry about things that don't need to be taken care of. Anyway, we're just here to find Xiuying's bones. Let's Find it and go."

It also makes sense.Then Master Xu said, "Go on."

As soon as I stretched out my hand, he half tossed and half handed me something.I took it and looked at it. It was a small dagger.

"Why give me this?" I asked.

He said: "Keep righteousness and avoid evil. Once there is danger, you have a way to save yourself."

"It's just you and me, where is the danger?" I laughed.

Master Xu also laughed, and while putting various equipment on his body, he said: "Do you know what ignorant people are fearless? I have heard the sound of teeth grinding all night. Let me tell you, your spiritual power is getting stronger and stronger. If you didn't have the sachet I gave you, you would have been divided by these ghosts, you know?"

"True or not?" What he said made my spine shudder for a while, "You are a master who runs the train with your mouth full, why do I not believe it?"

"If you don't believe me, ask Xiuying."

Seeing what he said, I couldn't help but believe it.Another gust of wind blew by, and I conveniently put the dagger on my belt: "Then you are not quick? Do you have to wait until I die to start?"

Only then did Brother Xiu speak: "It's probably here, Xiaohan, come here quickly. Qingluan, Xiaohan didn't lie to you."

"Cheng Chengcheng, I'll go up now." Master Xu said, leaning the ladder he erected against the wall, climbing up neatly, and then using something to knock on the roof of the tunnel.

"What about you?" I urged.

Master Xu said, "What about you? Light it up for me."

I immediately aimed the light source in my hand at the place where brother Xiu was, and at the same time bickered with Mr. Xu: "Is the light still on? Do you think you are on the stage?"

I fixed the flashlight in my hand, turned on another one, and illuminated it in all directions.Although there is no one else here, I still have to pay attention.

"Oh!" It was that voice again, this time it was not so long, but it was much shorter.

I didn't pay attention to the voice if there was Master Xu. I looked around for a while, and then looked at Master Xu.He has already opened a small hole in the top.

"Not bad, you, your hands and feet are nimble enough." I smiled.

"Of course!" he said, "Do you know what the structure of the top is? No one else can do it so fast!"

As he spoke, Master Xu didn't stop, and still raised his hand to shovel it with his tool.

Suddenly, there was a "crash", and a piece of stone and soil fell down.

"Kao!" I subconsciously yelled, "Are you a murderer? Thanks to my standing far away!"

My cry may be too loud, and it actually echoed, just like the echo of the "嗤" just now.

"Don't shout." Master Xu said, "Aim the torch, there seems to be a hole in it."
