Tales of the Strange works

Chapter 55

    

ou finished speaking and with a wave of his hand, a middle-aged man walked out from among the group.This middle-aged man was over fifty, with a handlebar mustache and a thick black rope in his hand."R...Both Red Sister and Chen Jian Sheng are in their thirties or forties. They argue whenever they feel like it, and outsiders would definitely say that the two of them are impolite.

I don't see it that way.

They are all from the underworld, they are people of Jianghu, all walks of life, and they all carry the ruffian air of the lower class. This is hard to change.

After explaining several times in a row, Hong Jie finally understood.

"Heh..." Hong Jie sneered, "I told you so. No wonder the old scholar speaks like that, he's a complete fool. Never mind, I won't waste my time with this Southern school idiot."

"That's right then," I said, pointing to the opposite bank. "Hongjie, what do you think How are we going to get across"

"Oh" she frowned. "What were you doing in the past Do you really believe what that fool said"

After some thought, I nodded and said, "Red Sister, didn't you notice Where did those dry branches come from I think there might be truth to what this person is saying. There could be other secrets hidden here."

Chen Jian-sheng is still acting foolish, still learning to speak like us.

A mole turned and glanced at him, gritted her teeth, and said: "Fine, Yunfeng, if you trust him, I trust you. Then let's go have a look, see if there are any other hidden heavens inside."

"Yún Fēng, you're not very good at swimming, are you" she asked me.

"Well... it's not that it's bad, it's just that I don't even know how to dig a hole," I said with a grimace.

She said helplessly, "I'm not saying you Yunfeng, if we find that Lao San and the others have gone out, you'd better practice swimming. In this line of work, if you can't swim, you'll lose big eventually."

"Hug me from behind, and I'll take you there."

"

I nodded and said okay.

This section of the underground river wasn't wide, but the water was very deep. The water temperature was also quite low this time of year. Although Red Sister was a good swimmer, she didn't dare to take any risks.

You little punk, keep your hands off.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Hong Jie," I quickly moved my hand down.

Before going down the drain, I looked back at Chen Jian Sheng who seemed mentally challenged and asked, "Red Sister, what about this man Should we keep him here"

"Eat salted radish with a light heart," she said coldly. "Southern-style laborers, if they die, they die, don't worry about it."

"Oh...." I didn't dare to talk back.

I took one last deep look at the man and then drew a deep breath.

“With a splash,” I hugged Hongjie and jumped into the underground river together.

The river water was colder than I expected. But after just a few dozen seconds, I felt my hands and feet go numb with cold.

"Focus, don't let go, it's over now," Hongjie said, carrying me step by step towards the riverbank.

We were lucky this time, nothing went wrong. We made it safely ashore in less than ten minutes.

After wringing out the clothes, I walked with him to the crack.

This mountain crevice is about ten meters high. From the outside, it looks very deep and wide enough for only one person to pass through at a time.

I checked the flashlight's battery, it still had power, but the light was very dim.

I and Hongjie looked at each other.

I nodded and, leading the way, slipped in at an angle.

When I crawled through the mountain crevice, I kept my belly in because there were some protruding rocks inside that hit me several times, ouch, it hurt.or something like that.The man in glasses left, but the female secretary didn't. She tightened her black silk legs and sat sideways with a smile: "Mr. Xiang, please don't be so restrained. The boss to...
