When Jenny saw that I was energetic again, she immediately smiled and said, "Is this right? Come on, let's go there."
The two of us walked up the steps quickly, and came to the In front of the empty coffin, "Let's just push the coffin away and see if there's anything underneath." ?”
“Yes.” Jenny nodded. One of us held one side of the coffin. I yelled and started to exert force at the same time. The coffin was very heavy and heavy. Just now It's so hard to push the lid of the coffin, let alone push the whole coffin now.
The first time Jenny and I just pushed a little, we were already exhausted. I squatted on the ground and said breathlessly, "***, why is it so heavy? I'm so tired. I'm about to collapse. "My left hand started to feel numb due to the injury. This is not a good sign.
Jenny also squatted on the ground tiredly. She glanced at me and said, "Zhongyi, are your hands okay? It doesn't matter, right?"
"It's okay, there's no bleeding anymore, and it doesn't hurt anymore." I reluctantly shook my left hand to reassure her.
“I see you don’t look well. Did the wound on your abdomen recur?” Jenny saw that my face turned pale, and she guessed the reason.
But I can't tell the truth, "No, my abdominal injury has healed a long time ago. Don't worry, it's okay. I'll just take a rest. It's just that the coffin is too heavy. This is What kind of tree is it made of? Why is it so heavy?”
“Yes, this coffin is really heavy. I don’t know what kind of wood it is, but it is definitely not an ordinary coffin.” Jenny held out her hand. I wiped the sweat from my forehead, but my expression was no better than mine.
"Jenny, hold on a little longer. Once the coffin is pushed away, we can go out." I took a breath and looked at her with a smile and said.
"Well, I will definitely go out." Jenny also smiled.
After resting for a few minutes, Jenny and I got up again and started pushing the coffin. After a lot of effort, we reluctantly pushed the coffin away. .
After pushing the coffin away, I quickly took a flashlight to look down, but it was still sealed. "What? Why is there no road?" Jenny looked up at me, her face changed. Even worse.
"Don't worry, I'll look for it again." I squatted down and tapped the ground gently with my hands. I tried everything under the coffin. It was not empty. Everything is solid, which proves that there is no way to go down here.
I was a little dumbfounded. I slowly looked up at Jenny, sighed, and shook my head helplessly. I was stunned and didn’t say a word. I didn’t even know what to say. I was so excited before. My mood is all gone now.
"What? Is there really no way?" Jenny seemed a little extreme, and she immediately squatted down to check.
I grabbed her and said, "Forget it, don't waste your efforts. I have checked thoroughly. There is no way down here. It seems that we are really trapped."
< br>I feel very powerless. I have been working for a long time and am exhausted, but I still get nothing. This damn underground palace, why does it only have one entrance? Isn't this unreasonable at all?
Jenny closed her eyes and slowly squatted on the ground, "Zhongyi, it seems there is really no hope. Do you think we will die here?"
Jenny is She asked me with a smile on her face, but I knew that her smile was an expression of sadness in her heart, a kind of desperate helplessness. The more she looked like this, the worse I felt.
Although she didn't shed tears, I could feel that her heart seemed to be bleeding. She was still so young, so beautiful, and her life had just begun. If she was trapped and died in a cave on a desert island, It's really a pity. No one else would be able to accept it.
When I think of this gloomy underground palace, with our two cold bodies lying there, even if we are dead, we don’t know where we died. This is so fucking frustrating. Although it is not great, it is too useless to die.
Looking at Jenny’s weather-beaten face, her original beautiful face was obscured. She looked very tired, but she was still so strong. No matter what secrets she hid in her heart, she always remained strong. It's a girl.
I gently held her hand and said, "It's okay Jenny, don't worry, none of us will die. Even if I dig with my hands, I will dig a way."
Jenny smiled again, "Are you still quite manly sometimes? You usually feel quite superficial, but at critical moments, you will be a person worth relying on."
< br>
These few words she said made me feel a little embarrassed, so I just said awkwardly, "You, too, are a trustworthy teammate."
The feeling Jenny gave me was just that of deliberately hiding things. She is a little girl, not an enigmatic and unpredictable woman. She is just a girl in her twenties. Even if she has great abilities, she cannot make any big mistakes.
From the time she told me that I should believe her, I could not see turbidity in her eyes, but a kind of clarity. Maybe my practice is too shallow, or maybe her means are too high. , in short, I believed her at that moment.
"Zhongyi, how old are you this year?" Jenny said and sat down against the coffin. Her move proved that she didn't want to struggle anymore, but she was indeed very tired.
I stopped her and sat down, "I'm twenty-eight, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'm just curious, so I'm just asking, why do you think of going to sea to be a sailor? You are from the Marine Corps, so it shouldn't be that difficult to find a job." Jenny said softly. It seemed that she had completely run out of energy. .
“I can’t explain a sentence or two clearly. I had a good job at first, but something unexpected happened and I stopped working. Then I went to Coastal City. Later I met Jiao Ba, and I started working. I have been a sailor, and I have been doing this for several years..." I seemed to be reminiscing about her treating me as a sailor and diver.
After I finished speaking, Jenny sighed and said, "It's not easy for you, too. You've been out for so many years, why don't you have a family?"
"A family? Me Who should I marry? I don’t even have a home of my own. “The housing prices in Seaside City are very high, so I have always rented a house.
"You're not that bad? Why don't you find a girlfriend?" Jenny was really weird today, asking me all personal questions.
I turned my head and looked at her with a strange look, "What's wrong with you? Why are you asking me this?"
"Didn't you tell me? I'm just curious. What? You don't want to tell me?" She was listless. Looking at me, his eyes looked a little dim.
I forced out a smile and said, "Let's talk about it. Anyway, it's okay to be idle. I had a girlfriend at first. That was before I joined the army. We were We were classmates in high school for about a year. Then I dropped out of school to join the army and we broke up."
"What a pity, why didn't she wait for you to come back?" Jenny asked softly.
“There is no reason, everyone has his own choice, and the roads are different, so naturally we can’t be together. Later, when I came back from the army, I went to Seaside City not long after, and have been there ever since. That’s it now.”
I have never told anyone about this past event, not even Jiao Ba and Shunzi. It is just a piece of history that can be used to recall, a cup of love as clear as water, without all the excitement and excitement of others. Lingering and lingering, looking back, I feel like an old friend, not like first love.
Jenny nodded, and just as she was about to ask me something else, I interrupted her in advance, "Don't just talk about me, tell me about you? You came all the way to go to sea, except for your family." Besides not knowing, doesn’t her boyfriend know?”
I remember when I first got on the boat, I asked her if she had a boyfriend. Jenny didn’t answer me at that time. I always wanted to find an opportunity to ask again. After a while, I finally found it this time, but the road is almost over.
“Don’t you just want to ask me if I have a boyfriend? Just ask directly, why bother beating around the bush?” Jenny saw through me at a glance, which made me feel very embarrassed.
“When I was in college, I had a boyfriend. Later, he cheated on us and we broke up.” When talking about this past incident, Jenny’s expression was unnatural.
"Is your boyfriend mentally retarded? You are so beautiful and he cheated on you. If it were me, I would definitely cherish you." After saying this, I felt a little inappropriate and really wanted to slap myself. Isn't it shameless behavior?
Jenny looked at me with a strange look and said, "If Li Xin were trapped in this underground palace with you today, would you also say this to her?" What she said , like a sharp knife, stabbed directly into my chest.
"What does this have to do with her? Li Xin hates me." I quickly rejected it for him.
Jenny just smiled softly and didn't say much. I suddenly asked her, "Jenny, are you afraid? Maybe. Maybe we will really die here."
< br> Jenny’s eyes were a little dull. She looked ahead and said, "What’s the use of being afraid? It’s better to think about it and just think of it as the two of us, accompanying the painting opposite, and bury it here together."
I smiled helplessly and said, "You are really open-minded. You are willing to be buried with a painting, or a eunuch's painting. This is really..."
I haven't finished speaking yet. I stopped, Jenny's words made me react When I came over, I suddenly remembered a very important thing, which was the eunuch painting at the very back. Yes, this painting was hung on the stone wall. So, behind it, was it? What secrets are hidden? For example, speak out. Such a big painting would definitely not be hung here for no reason. It would have been weird if there were no corpses here. Now that there is another painting, it is even weirder. At that time, I was probably just thinking about finding a way out. Wow, he actually missed such an important clue.
