Chapter Forty-Six: A Dream Is Not a Dream, Death Is Not Death
Granny Zhang is not dead, but she is no longer in the underground Dragon City, but lying on the bed in the county hospital.
From the ground to the hospital bed, the mother-in-law's memory was blank during the whole process, and she hurriedly called her nephew and asked what was going on.
The results are even more incredible.
The mother-in-law's nephew said that in fact, she did not enter any underground palace at all, and the person went down from one of the wells in "that step and two eyes", and fainted within a few seconds. The other people present immediately rescued her mother-in-law and sent her to the hospital, where she did not wake up until the next day.
Hearing the words of my nephew, no matter how well-informed and powerful my mother-in-law is, she is also blindfolded now.
According to the time, she has been wandering around the underground maze for hours, how can it be said that she has been admitted to the hospital?
The mother-in-law quickly told her nephew Zhang Xiangjun what happened to her, Zhang Xiangjun was also skeptical at the time, and wanted to find someone else to verify the truth of her mother-in-law's words, but this matter was too secret to let more people know. And Zhang Xiangjun himself couldn't risk his life, so the matter was temporarily delayed.
Zhang Xiangjun can hold back his temperament, but his mother-in-law can't, the elderly have a special stubbornness, once they recognize something, their sons, grandsons, and even their wives can't stop them.
After Granny Zhang was discharged from the hospital, she said hello to Zhang Xiangjun and jumped off the well for the second time.
It's still the same situation, after the mother-in-law jumped down, she immediately entered the dungeon, and there was still a military general and soldier on a tall horse beside her.
There is no trace of flooding in the entire underground palace. Even the torches in the hands of the warriors were lit.
The mother-in-law was dumbfounded, but she remembered clearly that the entire underground palace was flooded.
I couldn't figure out what was going on, so my mother-in-law continued to explore in the underground palace, and this time after walking to the White Bone Mountain, she didn't climb up rashly, but just stood aside and observed.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when she was waiting impatiently, a sudden change occurred, and the originally towering mountain of white bones suddenly began to shake violently. A moment later. The hollow place in the middle of the mountain of bones suddenly collapsed. The underground river was cut off, and the water in the river began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The mother-in-law watched everything that was happening in front of her, but she had no idea how everything happened.
Seeing that the river was about to reach her knees, she could no longer bother to check the cause. Run back to avoid the flood.
Wait to run back to the dungeon. Granny Zhang has not yet found a place to hide from the flood. saw another scene that shocked her.
The terracotta warriors in the dungeon actually moved, and they were actually hiding from the flood like her!
Granny Zhang herself couldn't tell what it was like to run away with a large pile of people made of earth and stones. She was already a little panicked, and wherever the terracotta warriors ran, she ran with them, and finally ran into a dead end.
The mother-in-law felt that she might be dying here for the second time, but when she looked back, she found that a large number of terracotta warriors had blocked the entrance of this dead-end alley with their bodies.
In the process of modern flood control, there are also cases of forming a wall to block the flood with flesh, and it is not strange that those terracotta warriors use this way to save their lives, but it is precisely because they are terracotta warriors made of clay that this matter has been infinitely beyond common sense.
At that time, Granny Zhang wanted to come up to see what the structure of these terracotta warriors was, but she had not moved, and among the many combinations, the few people holding the torches reached out to extinguish the torches in the stagnant water under their feet, so that the whole passage fell into darkness, and the mother-in-law did not dare to move.
The process of waiting in the dark was tormenting every minute and every second, and I don't know how long it had been, when suddenly there was a noisy sound of birds chirping outside the passage. As the voice came, the mother-in-law clearly felt that the terracotta warriors blocking the entrance of the passage moved.
She held her breath and stared wide-eyed in the direction of the exit, and the first thing that caught her eye was a few colored stones flying in the air, which looked like colored stones from the dome of the underground river.
When a few colored stones flew closer, I heard a few "bangs", and those stones collided with the torches held high in the hands of the terracotta warriors, and the whole passage instantly brightened.
With the help of this light, the mother-in-law saw several strange black birds hovering above her head, and after a few "quacks" at her, they all flew away.
The strange birds flew away, and the terracotta warriors also walked out of this dead end in a neat line.
The mother-in-law hurriedly followed, only this time she did not follow the terracotta warriors, but chased after the blackbirds.
Walking all the way, walking in the underground palace, the mother-in-law marveled that the flood receded without a trace of it. Walking out of the dungeon and coming to the river, the surrounding scenery is as usual.
It was also at this time, with the light shining from the colored stones of the dome, that the mother-in-law saw countless blackbirds flying out of the dungeon, not only on this side of the river, but also on the other side of the river.
At that time, the mother-in-law guessed that there might be a dungeon on the other side of the river similar to this one.
There is time to test the conjecture, and the most important thing at the moment is to find out where those blackbirds came from.
The mother-in-law followed the birds all the way, and finally found that all the birds had flown into the river cave at the bottom of the White Bone Mountain.
That's right, after the flood receded, the White Bone Mountain also returned to normal, and perhaps it was because the White Bone Mountain returned to normal that the flood water could recede.
Seeing this, the mother-in-law guessed that those blackbirds might be living in the White Bone Mountain, they flew away, the Bone Mountain collapsed, they came back, supported the Bone Mountain, and everything returned to normal.
Miracle, the construction, arrangement, decoration, setting of the entire underground palace and even this strange hermit creature, combined to really come out of such a miraculous place a long time ago.
Granny Zhang stood aside and felt a lot of emotion, and after all the blackbirds disappeared and the surroundings were quiet again, she made another decision.
Last time I climbed the mountain, I couldn't find a result, so this time I chose to go down to the river to see if I could see one, two, three.
The mother-in-law didn't even hesitate at that time, and jumped into the river.
I thought that after the water, it would be okay to go downstream.
But as soon as she entered the water, a large number of skulls suddenly popped out of her side.
The heads and bones of the people who were submerged in the mud on the riverbank seemed to come to life, and they swarmed and jumped on the mother-in-law, opened their mouths one by one to bite the clothes around the mother-in-law, and dragged her to the bottom of the water.
Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law capsized in the gutter and "died" in the underground palace for the second time.
This "death" is also not really death, when the mother-in-law woke up again, the person was already lying on the same hospital bed that she had laid down a few days ago. (To be continued.) )
