The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 970 Screams, Gunshots

And Er Zhuang was eager to try and volunteered.Meng Baolu thought over and over again, and agreed.

Fearing that something special would happen down there, before Er Zhuang went down, Meng Baolu threw two stones down there, and he lay on the side and listened carefully.As a result, when the stone was thrown down, there was neither the sound of entering the water nor other abnormal noises.

There is no special equipment in the village, so we can only keep things simple.Meng Baolu had someone prepare a bamboo basket for Er Zhuang, and tied it with a strong rope. Er Zhuang sat in the bamboo basket, and Da Zhuang and a few young men held the rope on top of him and pulled Er Zhuang down bit by bit. .

Er Zhuang carried a torch with him, and Meng Baolu told him that if he saw the torch's flame getting weaker, he would immediately remind them to pull him up.

At the same time, Er Zhuang also brought an earthen gun down.Many people in the village made this kind of earthen guns, which are usually used to blast wild animals.The power is not too great, but it still has close-range lethality.

When everything was ready, Er Zhuang sat in the bamboo basket and was lowered down bit by bit by the people above.

The width of the hole was about the same as that of a well, enough to accommodate the bamboo basket Er Zhuang was riding in.

Meng Baolu supervised and controlled the speed of the lowering.The speed is extremely slow, so that if there is an emergency, Er Zhuang can be pulled up in time.

The rope is prepared to be long enough and strong enough, they are not worried about this.

After more than ten minutes, Er Zhuang also went down five or six meters.The torch that Er Zhuang brought illuminated the cave wall, and Meng Baolu found that the cave wall was not very smooth, and there were traces of chiseling with tools.

Since the initial stage went smoothly, no danger was found.Er Zhuang sat in the basket and urged everyone to speed up, saying that everything was normal there.

So everyone listened to Er Zhuang, and the speed of getting Er Zhuang down gradually accelerated.

More than ten minutes passed like this, and finally the people above felt their hands loosen, as if the bamboo basket had reached the bottom.Judging from the length of the rope going down, the cave is at least 30 meters deep.

Meng Baolu looked down from the entrance of the cave, and it was still dark below, but the cold wind seemed to have weakened a lot.And as Er Zhuang went down, he could still see the light of the torch at that point.

However, due to the distance, the torch only had a little light from above, like a firefly.

This also shows that the hole is straight to the bottom, and there is no bend in the middle.Such a structure is also convenient for shouting up and down.

So Meng Baolu yelled towards the entrance of the cave, "Er Zhuang, can you hear me?"

Meng Baolu's shout echoed in the cave.

Immediately afterwards, Er Zhuang's muffled voice came from below: "I can hear you, I'm fine. I've stepped on it to the bottom."

Although the sound is not very clear, it can be distinguished.

"What's going on next? Is there any other space?" Meng Baolu asked further.

Er Zhuang replied below: "There is a lot of space inside, it's too dark. I'll walk inside and have a look."

When the sound came up, people saw the light of a little torch below, moving towards the side of the bottom of the cave.Soon, the light disappeared from sight, and it was obvious that there were other spaces below.

The people above, headed by Meng Baolu, all tensed up, even a little out of breath.After all, they don't know what's going on below.

At this time, Meng Baolu suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he felt that this action was a little reckless.

He was thinking of shouting down, let Er Zhuang come up first and then speak.

As a result, at this moment, Er Zhuang suddenly heard a pig-killing howl from below.At the same time, there was a muffled gunshot below, obviously Daniel fired.

Meng Baolu and the others were so frightened that their scalps went numb, not knowing what was happening below, so Er Zhuang wanted to shoot.

A scream, a gunshot...

After these two sounds, the following instantly restored calm.

After a few seconds of silence, the people above started shouting downwards, scratching their necks.

"Er Zhuang... Er Zhuang..."

The person above pulled his neck and called Er Zhuang's name, but there was only an echo of his shouting from below, and Er Zhuang didn't make a sound.After the echo, the silence below was terrifying.

This dead silence is even more frightening.Although people didn't see the situation below, they all felt chills on their backs and broke out in cold sweat at this moment.

"Quickly, pull... the rope up." Meng Baolu ordered, his face ashen ashes.

Everyone hurriedly worked together, and after pulling up the rope, they found that the bamboo basket was empty.

Meng Baolu's face and hands were also covered with sweat, he was really afraid of something, so it seems that Er Zhuang should be in danger.At this time, he regretted his decision even more. Before he knew the situation below, he rashly sent people down, which was considered a big taboo.I don't know why my brain just got hot, and I agreed to Er Zhuang.

"Brother..." At this time, Da Zhuang, that is Er Zhuang's elder brother, rushed up crying, holding the hole, looked down for a few times, and after shouting a few times, his eyeballs were red. He begged Meng Baolu, "Fourth Grandpa, I have to go down and find my brother."

"No, Da Zhuang, calm down, the situation below looks very complicated, you can't take risks easily."

Meng Baolu quickly stopped Da Zhuang, and he reminded Da Zhuang that this is definitely not the time to be impulsive.

But brothers are united, Da Zhuang has lost his mind at this time, he gritted his teeth, plopped, knelt down to Meng Baolu, and shouted: "Grandpa Meng, stop talking. If my brother is still alive, I will bring him Come up. If... If he dies, I have to carry his body up too. Otherwise, I'm sorry for my dead parents."

Er Zhuang and Da Zhuang, their parents died when they were young.People from the village, including Meng Baolu, have been helping the two children grow up.His parents died early, and Da Zhuang was a few years older than Er Zhuang, so Da Zhuang has always taken care of his younger brother.Unexpectedly, something like this happened to Er Zhuang today, so Da Zhuang's desire to go on is very urgent.

Meng Baolu originally wanted to stop Da Zhuang, because the complexity of the situation below has exceeded his imagination.Er Zhuang's scream just now was still ringing in his ears.That cry was definitely because he saw something extremely terrifying, and the soil gun that Er Zhuang was carrying couldn't do anything to it.

But Meng Baolu had no choice but to agree to Da Zhuang's strong will.After all, Er Zhuang can't see people alive or dead now.

But this time, everyone learned the lesson from last time and asked Da Zhuang to tie a rope around his waist. Instead of using the bamboo basket, everyone directly used the rope to let Da Zhuang go down.
