"I'd better look in the book," said Jack. "Give it to me!"
查看中文翻译
Annie and Jack raced back up the winding stairs and down the long hallway.
查看中文翻译
Dogs barked in the distance.
查看中文翻译
"They're coming!" Annie cried.
查看中文翻译
Jack and Annie jumped behind the door as it creaked open.
查看中文翻译
His hands were trembling as he flipped through the pages of the castle book.
查看中文翻译
Annie gave him the flashlight and his backpack. He pulled out the book and started tearing through it.
查看中文翻译
They hadn't gone far when they heard shouting behind them.
查看中文翻译
"Shhh!" said Annie. "Someone's coming."
查看中文翻译
"Here's a map of the castle," he said. "Look, this must be the room we're in. It's a storeroom." Jack studied the room in the book. "These are sacks of flour and barrels of wine."
查看中文翻译
Jack held his breath. A light from a torch danced wildly over the sacks and barrels.
查看中文翻译
The light disappeared. The door slammed shut.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, man," whispered Jack. "We have to hurry. They might come back."
查看中文翻译
"In here!" said Jack. He shoved open a door off the hallway and pulled Annie into a dark room.
查看中文翻译
Jack pushed the door shut. Then Annie shined her flashlight around the room. There were rows of sacks and wooden barrels.
查看中文翻译
He read aloud: This door leads from the storeroom through a secret passage to a precipice over the moat.
查看中文翻译
The floor of the room was made up of stones. The trapdoor in the picture was five stones away from the door to the hall.
查看中文翻译
"What's a precipice?" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"No. Look," said Jack. He pointed at the map. "Here's a trapdoor."
查看中文翻译
"I don't know. We'll find out," said Jack. "But first we have to find the door."
查看中文翻译
He stamped on the fifth stone. It was loose!
查看中文翻译
He put the flashlight on the floor. He worked his fingers under the thin sheet of stone and tried to lift it.
查看中文翻译
Annie came over and helped him lift the stone square out of its place. Underneath was a small wooden door.
查看中文翻译
Jack and Annie tugged on the rope handle of the door. The door fell open with a thunk.
查看中文翻译
Jack looked at the picture carefully. Then he shined the flashlight around the room.
查看中文翻译
Jack shined the light on the floor and counted the stones. "One, two, three, four, five."
查看中文翻译
"Who cares? We have to go!" said Annie. "Before they come back!"
查看中文翻译
"Help," Jack said.
查看中文翻译
He clipped on the flashlight and felt his way down the small ladder. Annie followed.
查看中文翻译
Jack picked up the flashlight and shined it on the hole.
查看中文翻译
Soon he reached another small wooden door. The door at the end of the tunnel!
查看中文翻译
He crouched down and began moving through the damp, creepy tunnel. The flashlight barely lit the stone walls.
查看中文翻译
"Hurry!" she called from behind.
查看中文翻译
He was desperate to get out of the castle before the batteries died completely.
查看中文翻译
The light got dimmer and dimmer.
查看中文翻译
Jack went faster. His back hurt from crouching.
查看中文翻译
"I think our light's dying!" he said to Annie.
查看中文翻译
"There's a little ladder," he said. "Let's go!"
查看中文翻译
He shook the light. Were the batteries running down?
查看中文翻译
There was a tunnel!
查看中文翻译
Jack unlatched the door and pushed it open.
查看中文翻译
When they both reached the bottom of the ladder, Jack shined the light around them.
查看中文翻译
He couldn't see anything in the misty darkness.
查看中文翻译
"Where are we?" whispered Annie behind him. "What do you see?"
查看中文翻译
The air felt good. Cool and fresh. He took a deep breath.
查看中文翻译
He poked his head outside.
查看中文翻译
SPLASH!
查看中文翻译
Jack turned around in the small tunnel. He lay down on his stomach. He stuck one leg out the door. Then the other.
查看中文翻译
"I'm going to have to go feet first," he said.
查看中文翻译
Jack inched down, bit by bit. Until he was hanging out the door, clinging to the ledge.
查看中文翻译
"This must be the precipice!" he called to Annie. "Pull me up!"
查看中文翻译
"Nothing. But I think we've come to the outside of the castle," said Jack. "I'll find out."
查看中文翻译
Annie reached for Jack's hands. "I can't hold you!" she said.
查看中文翻译
Jack felt his fingers slipping. Then down he fell.
查看中文翻译
Jack put the flashlight in his pack. He put the pack on his back. He stuck his hand out the door. He couldn't feel the ground. Just air.
查看中文翻译
Down through the darkness.
