Chapter 280 Hope and Despair
They all say that Fang Xiaocao is really hungry and treats everyone as a friend, but who can understand an orphan’s desire for family and friendship?
Now Zhi Qi, her best friend who has been protecting her since childhood, has become an unknown enemy.
Han Xue had betrayed her a long time ago and became a life and death enemy. She ordered him to be killed outside the tomb.
Su Wanqing, Yun Luoshu, and Wen Shi have tricked her countless times, and among the three, there is at least one hidden one. Qian Mian, the top killer on the blacklist, is no longer suitable. As the friendship continued, the only ones left beside Fang Xiaocao were Tom and Taotie.
The newly arrived hummingbird and the unknown Wan Xiaozhou are somewhat interesting.
Only Tom and Taotie are the most satisfied.
Although on the surface, Tom and Taotie are just subordinates controlled by Fang Xiaocao using hypnosis.
But they all have their own thoughts and are not puppets on strings. Fang Xiaocao's concern is also sincere. In Fang Xiaocao's heart, Tom and Taotie have long become both teachers and friends. friends.
Fang Xiaocao learned a lot from Tom and Taotie.
Not a relative, but better than a relative.
Now that Tom is facing a life-and-death crisis, how can Fang Xiaocao, who has always valued feelings and valued relationships, not be anxious?
Compared to Fang Xiaocao, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Tom, as the person involved, was much calmer.
Looking at Fang Xiaocao, Tom smiled slightly: "Your Highness, don't be anxious. There is a way, which is better than nothing. At least I still have a glimmer of hope."
It's already this time. , Tom was still trying his best to comfort Fang Xiaocao.
After hearing Tom's words, Fang Xiaocao looked at Tom with tearful eyes, her eyes as red as a rabbit.
“Your Highness, be good and don’t cry.”
Tom smiled and coaxed Fang Xiaocao.
"Hummingbird, please help me coax the princess."
Tom said pretending to be relaxed.
As he said that, Hummingbird made a look.
It is a matter of life and death. No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to be truly calm. He will be afraid and panic, which are all physiological instinctive reactions.
But Tom knew that he couldn't show it.
Once he shows a hint of panic, Fang Xiaocao will break through the defense on the spot.
Tom's idea is simple, he can die.
But he couldn't let Fang Xiaocao shed tears for him.
For himself and for Fang Xiaocao, Tom will work hard to survive, but if he is unlucky and really dies here, someone will have to take care of his princess for him.
The hummingbird understood and nodded.
He walked to Fang Xiaocao, opened his arms and pulled Fang Xiaocao into his arms.
Buried in Hummingbird's warm embrace, Fang Xiaocao could no longer hold back and sobbed softly.
Listening to Fang Xiaocao's low sobbing, Tom's eyes flashed with distress, and he wanted to step forward to comfort his princess in person, but there was a mechanism under his feet, and he couldn't move, nor could he move.
Once he moves, it’s not just him.
Even his princess will fall into the murder trap under the stone bricks of the tomb.
"Hahaha..."
"Your Highness, don't cry."
"You're crying, but you're not pretty."
Tom said with a smile in a relaxed and humorous tone, hoping to use words to make Fang Xiaocao laugh out of tears.
But...
Tom's words did not achieve the expected effect. Instead, Fang Xiaocao cried louder.
Tom shook his head helplessly, looked at Taotie, his expression was serious and solemn, and said in a low voice: "Taotie, if I die, you have to protect the princess for me, otherwise I will have to come back even if I am a ghost. You."
Taotie understood what Tom meant.
Tom is asking for help.
It is also a plea between brothers.
Taotie nodded solemnly: "Don't worry!"
"If you die, as long as I am still alive, no one can hurt the princess."
Hearing Taotie's solemn promise, Tom nodded with satisfaction: "With your words , I feel relieved, now tell me, your method of saving me is all about luck, right?”
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Tom will not give up his life.
But the mechanism under Naihe's feet is an extremely insidious murder trap, not a landmine or bomb.
He had no idea and could only listen to Taotie.
Taotie organized his words and said: "Back then, I followed the old tomb robber. When I went down to the tomb, I once encountered this kind of mechanism in a Song Dynasty tomb. The old tomb robber used flying claws at that time."
"Everyone ran out to a safe place, and then let the person who stepped on the mechanism grab the side of the tomb passage with flying claws. Liang, hang yourself up, wait for the tomb passage floor tiles to collapse, and let the person hanging in the air slowly lower down. If there is a foothold in the pit, the person will be alive. When he reaches the edge of the pit, the tomb robber will be in a safe place. Just use the rope to pull him up.”
At this point, Taotie paused.
I glanced at Tom who looked happy.
Sighed and said: "Don't be too happy too early. This is just a plan, but whether you can survive or not depends on luck."
Hearing Taotie's words, Fang Xiaocao, who had just finished listening to Taotie's plan, stopped crying, and tears flowed down again.
The tears can be released and retracted as freely as a faucet.
Tom and Hummingbird, who had just looked happy, also changed their expressions, and they were overjoyed.
“I think this plan is very good.”
“Why should we depend on luck?”
Tom asked doubtfully.
"It works, but it really depends on luck, because the old tomb robber has laid countless tombs in his life, what kind of mechanism has he not seen?"
"The old tomb robber said , although this method works, it has been ruined by the ancients, so the people who designed the tombs also upgraded the mechanisms to prevent tomb robbery. "
"For example, someone will not be here. There were beams in the area, but they were later abandoned, because this undoubtedly reminded the tomb robbers that there might be a trap here, so someone later thought of a trick and made the beams above the trap movable. "< br>
“Pressed on it, it can serve as a load-bearing function, but once a person is hoisted, it will automatically break and collapse, causing the person above to fall down.”
"Some people are doing tricks on the top of the head, and there are people who are making fuss in the pit. Aren't you hanging on the beam and not falling down until the collapse is over?"
"Then I will let you, no A place to stay.”
“You have no place to stay, will you die?”
“Just hang up there and dry the bacon.”
After hearing Taotie’s words, the joy on Tom’s face disappeared. , his face was a little livid.
Fang Xiaocao stopped crying.
I shivered subconsciously.
The ancients...
They were really ruthless!
That feeling of despair is really terrifying.
The despair of hanging in the air with nowhere to stay, just thinking about it, makes Fang Xiaocao feel horrified...
