MTL - Human Shackles-Chapter 5 Water old man
In the evening, Luo Kai continued to excavate, but the rock foundation was unexpectedly deep. There was no ventilation in the tunnel. If the tunnel was dug deep, there would be no muddy oxygen, but if it was changed, it would have been dug in vain a few days ago. .
After thinking about it, he continued to dig down with the idea of giving it a try. He already felt that the soil quality was a little different, it became compact, and there was a lot of fine sand. This situation was buried when the foundation was laid, and it should be very soon. You can dig through, but I don’t know where the exit will be after digging through the foundation. If you are still in prison, the hope of life is very slim. This is a gamble to lose your life, and he has to gamble.
About two hours later, there was a sense of emptiness in the iron cone in his hand, and a narrow crack appeared in the rock foundation. It was not difficult to pass through with his current size. What is strange is that there is nothing on the other side of the foundation. , Luo Kai cautiously crawled over. This is not the ground, but a silent underground space, and there seems to be no end to the darkness.
Luo Kai cautiously pressed against the wall and fumbled slowly. At this time, there was a murmur of noise in the dark and quiet underground space, as if someone had come here. Luo Kai was sweating all over, shaking and turning around to look. .
Shaky candlelight illuminates the dark space. It seems to be a vault-shaped underground building similar to a bomb shelter. Rows of huge bookshelves fill the space. A thin old man with loose hair holds one. The candle is coming here.
Luo Kai hurriedly hid in a depression beside him, and carefully took out the sharpened iron cone from his armpit. The opponent looked like a prisoner instead of a guard.
The skinny old man walked directly towards Luo Kai’s hiding place, and smiled before he got even closer: “You don’t need to be so nervous, young man, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” A big mouse got through his hen-house-like messy hair. Coming out, squeaked twice.
Luo Kai suppressed the fear in his heart, slowly revealing his figure, and asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you...?" He actually said the same language instinctively.
The old man stared at Luo Kai for a while before he said: "It doesn't matter who I am, but it is very difficult for you to escape from Nanya Island Prison. Nanya Island is surrounded by sea, and the nearest land is also dozens of nautical miles away. You can escape this ghost place, but you can't swim to land."
"You... do you want to help me? Or are you leaving here too?"
"No, this may be unbearable for you, but for me it is the safest place in the world."
The old man stroked the beard that had grown to his chest, and continued: "Since Xiao Hui is willing to give you food, it proves that you are not bad in nature, I can help you get out of here, but you have to do me a favor after you go out. ."
Luo Kai suppressed the tension in my heart, and cautiously said: "What busy?"
The old man groaned for a while and asked: "Do you know the Sea Clan?"
Luo thought about it and shook his head blankly.
The old man frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Luo Kai's ignorance. After a while, he sighed and said, "No matter, the more you know, the more trouble you have."
then pointed to the top of his head and said: "The prison also stocks many hunting dogs on the island. Even if you can leave the prison, you will be spotted by the hunting dogs. If you are not capable, they will tear you apart.”
Luo Kai's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you, uncle, even if I die, I will die outside!"
The old man laughed and said, "If you have an old man to help you, it's not easy to die. Um... I can teach you a way to swim in the water, and take advantage of the east wind to have the opportunity to float to land. Of course, if you are caught in the sea by some big fish If you give it to you, there will be no way. Come here and let me take a good look at you."
Luo was startled for a while, seeing the old man's expression very serious, he hesitated and walked over.
The old man’s tree-like arm leaned forward and pulled Luo Kai in front of him. Luo Kai only felt the pain of the old man’s bone pinched like an iron hoop. He seemed to be an old Chinese doctor who could pinch bones.
The old man first looked at the healed wound on Luo Kai's chest, and groped his whole body while muttering to himself: "Your physical fitness is not bad. You should have been injected with advanced genetic medicine, bones and muscles since you were a child. The intensity is very high and the cell division is fast, but genetic medicine has advantages and disadvantages. It will greatly squeeze the vitality, and your body has not been opened for a long time. After being closed here for so long, your physical development has been affected. Alas, what a pity!"
Luo Kai couldn't help but ask: "What is a genetic medicine?"
The old man didn’t answer, he looked at Luo Kai’s eyebrows, his expression seemed a little puzzled, and he indulged for a while: “The only way to solve the drawbacks of genetic medicine is to practice physical fitness. You look like you but you haven’t practiced it. ."
Then he took out a piece of worn-out animal skin paper from his pocket and handed it over: "I have a set of physical exercises here. If you practice harder in the future, you will gradually make up for the shortcomings of your body. This set of physical exercises is called "Jiu Physical Exercise" at the beginning of the practice. It may be more painful, but suffering is the best way to be a good man. Pain is sometimes the best way to stimulate the body's potential."
Luo Kai took it in a daze. He could see a lot of humanoid patterns carved on the animal skin paper. He wondered: "What is physique?"
This time the old man patiently explained: "Physique is a method of strengthening the body, human beings are naturally weak, if you have the heart, you can practice well, and you will find its benefits in the future. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"
After speaking, he suddenly pressed the back of his head. Luo Kai lost consciousness in a daze. After not knowing how long, he felt a bit tingling in his armpits and opened his eyes in a daze. He was still in the underground space. , The clothes on the upper body have been untied, blood is dripping under the armpits, and something seems to have been portrayed on the skin.
The old man is wrapping his wrist with a piece of rag, and he can see that his wrist is also dripping with blood: "Don’t be nervous, I have inscribed a set of totems for keeping water on your body. After you enter the water, you will naturally find its magical effect. This place If there is no condition, it can only be portrayed with blood."
Luo Kai wiped the blood stains on his body with his clothes, full of doubts, and thought for a while: "What is the water totem? Big... Uncle, I don't know your name yet, you... why are you helping me?"
The old man took the big squirrel away from his head, and said with a smile: "My name is Shui Shou, and people outside like to call me a water whisperer. The water totem is simply a way for people to quickly adapt to the water environment. Life originates from the ocean, and the adaptability to the underwater environment has been firmly engraved in the depths of genes, and the water-saving totem has only induced it.
As for why I help you, I just want to ask you a little favor. You will come to me every night from now on, and the old man will teach you physical skills. "
Luo Kai stood up swayingly, was silent for a while, pointed to the big mouse on his head and asked, "Did you raise Da Hui?"
The old man teased the mouse in his hand and said, "Well, I think this little thing is quite spiritual, so I just kept it boring."
"Is that the food you asked Da Hui to give me?"
The old man shook his head: "Young man, don't underestimate the animal's wisdom. You let it go, and it will give you food when it appreciates you. Okay, it's almost dawn. Go back."
