The Fatty gave an awkward smile. "I take back what I said just now. Although what you did just now was wrong, at least you did a good deed."
I shook my head and sighed helplessly. "Come on, stop talking."
I thought I had triggered a mechanism, but it turned out to be an underground trap. I guessed the two things up there must be wondering why we suddenly disappeared.
In the pitch - black pit, neither of us dared to shine the flashlight upwards.
A beam of light came from above. "Hey, do you think how much these candles are worth? How come they haven't burned out after so long?"
The Fatty looked at the candle lamps above and mumbled something in a low voice.
I shook my head and shone the flashlight around. There was a black stone path. I suspected that the mechanism just now must have been specially made by skilled craftsmen in the past.
"It's strange. Just now I also wondered if there were any mechanisms underground, but why didn't I notice it?"
The Fatty was mumbling something beside me. I turned and gave him a disdainful look. "It's because you're stupid."
The Fatty didn't say a word. Instead, he looked at me with a strange look and said something completely off - topic.
"I've always suspected if this is your home ground. How come in such a dangerous place, none of the previous tribesmen who came in could get out alive? But you come and you can get out alive. That's so unscientific."
I thought to myself, so I'm quite amazing, huh?
The Fatty didn't say anything, but his expression clearly showed a strange look, as if he was examining a strange monster.
I hate being looked at like that the most, but since it was the Fatty, I endured it.
I hooked the corners of my mouth into a smile. "Do you believe that if you keep looking at me like this, I'll make you unable to smile?"
The Fatty quickly spread out his arms and stopped talking. He turned around and wanted to leave, but his movement suddenly froze. "There's something behind us staring at us."
It turned out to be a stone statue. The green stone statue was hidden in the darkness. Suddenly, I thought of Yan Yan. His figure unexpectedly popped up in my mind.
If he were here, we'd probably feel much more at ease.
"What are you smiling at? In this situation, why are you looking at me like a pervert?"
The Fatty shivered and was about to turn around and leave, but his movement suddenly froze.
He swallowed nervously as he looked at that place. "Don't you think this stone statue looks familiar?"
"Ah?"
I turned around blankly and looked at the Fatty. The Fatty looked at me and shook his head in disappointment. "Don't you think you've seen this stone statue somewhere before?"
I shook my head. "Not at all. Should I have seen it somewhere?"
The Fatty sighed helplessly. "Are you just carefree or what should I say about you? Forget it. Do as you like."
He looked at me as if I was hopeless, then turned around and left.
I was quite annoyed. I thought he was just being too fussy. I gave him a disdainful look and said nothing.
However, when I looked at the stone statue again, I realized something.
Wait, what the hell? Have you ever seen a stone statue that looks exactly like you?
Well, I have, and not just once. I'm really fed up. Now I finally understand why the Fatty was so broken - hearted.
As a good friend who grew up with him and went through life - and - death situations together, seeing his friend in such an extremely coquettish pose in front of him was just a black history.
I shook my head helplessly and gritted my teeth, wanting to smash the stone statue. Actually, it wasn't that coquettish, just a bit strange.
What a crazy pose! It looked like the one in the statue thought he was the most powerful and everyone else was just an ant. It was really maddening.
Oh, how could I face the Fatty now?
I quickly caught up with the Fatty and put my arm around his neck.
The Fatty said, "Do you want to die? Let's be straight. If you really want to die, I can help you."
The Fatty shrank his neck beside me, looking quite timid. But don't be fooled by his appearance. In fact, this guy is quite brave.
I gave him a disdainful look and carefully observed the situation around us. Now no one could tell what was really going on.
But one thing was for sure. We had really fallen into a trap this time. But even so, we weren't afraid.
The Fatty tiptoed over to me and reached out to poke my clothes. "Friend, to be honest with you, we still have a chance."
I didn't understand what he meant by "chance". But the next second, when I saw the thing in front of me, I was immediately stunned.
"You're amazing."
I didn't expect this guy to have some tricks up his sleeve. The Fatty proudly shook his head. "Of course. Don't you know whose good brother I am?"
There was a steel fork. There was a bag wrapped around the steel fork, and there was a huge thing on the bag.
I reached out and took out the thing and put it in front of me. "Where did you get this?"
The Fatty said proudly, "I prepared this a long time ago, but I've never taken it out to use."
After saying that, he directly reached out and put the thing on the ground. He took out a small knife and gently cut it. A smell came over.
"Glutinous rice?"
I was really surprised. I didn't expect him to be able to get glutinous rice.
The Fatty smiled proudly. "How about it? Surprised?"
I looked at him helplessly and nodded. "You're really amazing. When did you become so resourceful?"
It was really amazing that he could get glutinous rice in this place.
The Fatty came to my side and mumbled in a low voice, "It's time to make a decision. Should we use this glutinous rice? I originally wanted to save it for a really critical moment. But look at the thing up there. It's so dangerous. Maybe we should just run and fight to the death."
I understood what the Fatty meant. The thing up there obviously meant no good. And we were in this pit, not knowing whether we were alive or dead. I really didn't know how we could escape from here.
The map the glasses - wearing young man gave me might be fake, but at least it was a glimmer of hope.
The Fatty twisted his arm and said in a low voice, "I don't think this is right."
"Hmm?"
I stared into the Fatty's eyes and raised my eyebrows. The Fatty continued to stuff the thing into my hand, his eyes full of determination.
"You said, if there really is someone behind this as the mastermind, then we might not be very safe. Can you be sure that the map the guy gave you is real?"
