Chapter 207 Suffocation
Su Tong grabbed the rope and slid down quickly.
After a depth of about ten meters, we soon reached the bottom.
She first picked up the torch, then quickly stepped on the burning dry grass to make sure there was no spark before she raised her legs and walked towards Afeng.
The grass was very dense, but fortunately not too deep, just up to thigh height so it was not impossible to walk.
Ah Feng was pale, lying in the bushes in a slightly awkward position. When he saw Su Tong coming, he moved, as if trying to get up.
"Don't move! Let me check you out first."
Su Tong squatted down beside A Feng and reached out to press his chest and ribs, but felt no signs of fracture. Su Tong frowned and stretched his hand to the other side.
It seems okay.
Su Tong asked: "Where does it hurt? Do you feel like you can't move?"
"Back, back pain?"
A Feng answered, still in a weak voice.
Back pain?
Did he break his spine?
Su Tong knew that he couldn't use his arms, so he found a place to put the torch, then directly held his left shoulder with one hand and grabbed his right arm with the other, and said:
"I'll help you bear the weight. Why don't you try to stand up and see if you can use the strength."
She had to determine where he was injured before deciding how to tie the rope.
Ah Feng nodded, and slowly stood up with the help of Su Tong pulling him up...
This is when the accident happened -
When Afeng was halfway up, he suddenly pushed Su Tong's shoulder forward with his right hand, and using the force of his body rushing forward, he grabbed her and tried to flip her to the right.
Su Tong immediately moved aside and tried to block the attack, but the other party ignored the injury on his arm and continued to grab her and push her to the right.
In order to stabilize his center of gravity, Su Tong took a step back to the right, but his feet were empty and before he could react, he had fallen into a deep hole.
It turns out that there is a deep hole in the invisible darkness on the right.
The deep hole is at the bottom of the pit, or in other words, it is the downward extension of the pit.
The cave was quite deep and rugged, and Su Tong slid down several times before he stopped.
Then there was a noise from overhead, and something like a wooden board covered the entrance to the cave.
Su Tong let out a long sigh.
Even though she was on guard enough, she still overestimated the conscience of these people.
Su Tong relaxed and moved his body, and found that he was not injured.
It’s winter and I wear thick clothes, so it’s no big deal if I stumbled a few times just now.
I touched my waist and found the waist bag was still there.
Su Tong took out a small flashlight, shone it upwards, and found that the hole where he fell was not big. Considering the dense weeds at the hole, it would not be easy to find even in the daytime, let alone at night.
Looking around again, the space inside the cave is not big, but it extends diagonally very far downwards, getting narrower and narrower as it goes down. I don't know how deep it is. It seems that this was originally a passage, but it was blocked later.
Judging from the size of the pit and the direction of the hole, it must have been dug by humans a long time ago, but it must be very old.
When the flashlight swept across the ground, Su Tong was a little surprised.
There were many animal bones scattered on the ground in the cave. They were of many kinds, large and small, in bits and pieces, and most of them had been weathered. When the flashlight was swept over them one by one, the dense crowds made one's scalp tingle.
This place doesn't look suitable for a sacrificial site, and I don't know where these bones came from.
But this place is suitable for setting a trap.
Targeting her.
Ah Feng knew that his arm was injured and he couldn't defeat him by physical strength, so he could only trick Chunzhi into coming here and use the terrain of the pit to trap her.
Oh! Haruji?!
Su Tong was not a person without the ability to distinguish. Chunzhi's previous unguarded trust in her and her straightforward and simple enthusiasm could not be faked...
If she hadn't been so anxious and crying tonight, she wouldn't have come out with her...
And her really swollen ankle...
That ankle is really injured!
If she could really hurt her foot just to deceive her, then it can only be said that she is really devoted to Afeng!
Now it seems that the fire in the ancestral hall was not an accident.
She used a strange fire to lure Qin Yi away, used Chunzhi's simplicity and tears to lure her to the pit, and then bet that she would not let Chunzhi, whose foot was injured, go down the pit...
Every step is arranged very reasonably, even taking people's hearts into consideration.
She knew that Qin Yi would definitely go to check if there was an emergency, she knew that she couldn't bear to see Chunzhi isolated and helpless, she knew that she couldn't bear to see Chunzhi fall into the pit...
How could such a Feng be an ordinary person?
Burning the ancestral hall is a serious crime. If it is exposed, if nothing else, at least these two people will not be able to stay in the village.
They risked their own escape route and went through so much trouble just to lock her up here? !
What is the purpose?
…
This question didn't puzzle Su Tong for long.
At least, Su Tong soon understood why they locked her up here——
Because she began to have difficulty breathing.
Logically speaking, it had been less than five minutes since she fell. Even if the entrance to the cave was covered with wooden boards, it was impossible for her to be deprived of oxygen so quickly!
unless--
There's something wrong with the air here!
Su Tong realized something was wrong and quickly crawled towards the cave entrance.
There is a slope upwards, which is rugged and uneven, but it is not too difficult to climb up.
But at this time Su Tong felt the air was becoming increasingly thinner. By the time his head touched the wooden board, he had to open his mouth wide to breathe, and the feeling of stuffiness in his chest was becoming obvious.
She pushed the board upwards with all her strength, but it didn't move at all. It seemed as if the board was being held down or stuck by something.
Su Tong tried again, with the same result.
She knew there was no need to waste any more energy. Since the other party had covered it, he would not let her push it away easily.
She lowered her head and quickly rummaged through her waist bag, took out a pill from the oil paper bag, chewed it and swallowed it.
This is one of the pills that Manager Lin prepared for her. It was originally used to treat acute angina pectoris or cardiac arrest, and its effect is similar to the current Danshen Pills.
In addition to treating heart diseases, this type of drug has the greatest feature of being able to refresh the mind and quickly replenish blood oxygen levels.
It was also at this time that Su Tong figured out one thing——
The tunnels deep underground, the dense vegetation, the thin oxygen, and the dead bodies of animals all over the ground...
Just a little connection -
It made her clearly understand the situation she was facing.
If her judgment was correct, this should be a coal mine that had been abandoned for many years.
The oxidation of coal and organic matter has caused a large amount of carbon dioxide to accumulate in this tunnel over the years. High concentrations of carbon dioxide can increase the efficiency of photosynthesis and stimulate plant growth.
That's why the vegetation at the bottom of the pit is so lush.
Therefore, any animal that breaks into this place will lose its ability to move, because the lack of oxygen will cause them to suffocate and die quickly. This is why there are so many animal bones here.
This seemingly ordinary pit is actually a deadly place where people are killed without shedding blood.
In a few minutes at most, she would fall into a coma due to lack of oxygen and eventually suffocate to death.
