Chapter 18: Underground Passage Exploration (2)

Under the leadership of Cheng Weidong and Mei Qianjing, several children began to walk slowly inside, and they cautiously groped their way along the way, the hole was very large, and the oncoming wind was a little chilly, and they couldn't help but shiver. Mei Qianjing touched the slippery and slippery wall with a little tide, just like under the vegetable cellar of his grandmother's house in the countryside, he raised the torch and looked at the wall, and found that there were strange green spots on the wall, which frightened him and hurriedly jumped back, just bumping into Cheng Weidong next to him.

"What's wrong? A thousand views. Cheng Weidong hurriedly asked him, and several other children were also startled by him and hurriedly hid back.

"Whew..."Mei Qianjing sighed, "It's nothing, so I was startled, and a layer of moss grew on the wall." ”

"Oh!" Cheng Weidong also touched the wall of the cave, and quickly shook his hand slimy, and rubbed it on his pants again, "What is this, it's so disgusting that slimy!" ”

"Moss, it grows in a damp place after a long time, let's go, don't look at it." Mei Qianjing pulled Cheng Weidong and left, a few children saw them go and hurriedly followed, the more they went inside, the more spacious the hole became, and began to appear forks in the road, a few of them stood in front of the fork and stopped, Cheng Weidong and Mei Qianjing stepped forward to look at each fork, but it seemed to be very deep inside, and nothing could be seen in the dark.

"Cheng Weidong, which way did you and your brother go last time?" Mei Qianjing came back and asked him, he wanted to know the fork in the road they took last time, then they would also take that fork in the road, and it would be good to walk after walking once, after all, it was familiar or not!

"Ahh Cheng Weidong was stunned for a moment, "My brother and I didn't seem to have so many forks in the road last time, we have been walking and walking since we came down, at most there are a few turns, I have never seen so many forks in the road!" Cheng Weidong also looked confused, he couldn't figure out what the situation was, it wasn't like this last time! What can I do now? Taken the wrong path?

"What, what path did you and you take last time? Isn't that the one we're walking on? Mei Qianjing didn't believe it, thinking that Cheng Weidong was teasing those cowards again.

"Really, we may go another way, do we want to go back?" Seeing Mei Qianjing's face full of disbelief, he was also speechless.

"Did you really go wrong? Think about it again, what is the difference between what we have walked along the road and what you walked last time with your brother? ”

"It's all the same, besides, it's been too long since I came to my brother last time, and I've long forgotten it." Cheng Weidong looked helpless.

"Why don't we go back, what if we get lost!" "I don't want to go, I want to go home." "Let's go home!" When the other children heard that they had gone the wrong way, they cried out with sad faces that they wanted to go back.

"Oops! It's all here, don't you want to see what's inside? What if there's something good! Mei Qianjing said to them, you can't let them go back, the more you go inside, the darker it gets, it's a little gloomy or better if there are more people, it's safe.

"We've all gone so far, can you go back without me? We'll go back together in a while, and we'll go inside and see what's going on. Cheng Weidong also helped Mei Qianjing talk to them.

"Shall we be back in a moment?" The oldest child said in a trembling voice.

"Mm-hmm, let's go inside and take a look and come back."

"Which one do we go now? Is the middle one good? Mei Qianjing, who had a big heart, immediately felt better, and pointed to the fork in the middle.

"Let's go" Cheng Weidong took the lead and walked into the fork in the middle, and then they followed. The space inside the fork is much smaller than outside, and at most three people can walk side by side, Cheng Weidong and Mei Qianjing walked in front of them, and the rest of the children followed closely behind them. The fork in the road was so long that they felt like they had walked for a long time and had not seen the end or any fork in the road.

"Ahh The other children made him look confused, and he didn't react, what's going on? Mei Qianjing was also stunned, looking at the child who was holding his thighs and crying and didn't know what was going on, he squatted down and pulled the child, only to see that his whole body was trembling.

"What's wrong with you?" Mei Qianjing held the torch and looked around, there was nothing but them, so she asked suspiciously, this child seemed to be frightened.

"There's... Yes... Voiced... Tone, I... Hear... Someone... Talking... Sound. The kid choked up and said in a choked voice. The other children jumped up in fright when they heard this, screaming and running to Mei Qianjing's side, holding torches and shaking around, "Where is it?" "Where is the sound?" Cheng Weidong and Mei Qianjing were also taken aback, although they were bolder than ordinary children, but after all, they were only teenagers, so how could they not be afraid. Mei Qianjing held the torch and looked around, there was nothing else except them and the darkness in the distance, and the other children were also nervously holding their breath and looking around.

At this moment, not far away, there was a sudden "Woo... The voice, the voice was very long, very harsh like crying, listening to people's hearts, and it sounded for a while before it gradually disappeared, "Ah..." I heard everything I didn't hear just now, and it exploded in an instant, and several cowards all screamed, and all the torches were thrown, and now the hole was even darker, some people covered their ears in fright and squatted down to cry, and some people wanted to run back, but because they couldn't see the road, they fell and fell when they rolled on the gourd, hit the wall of the cave and fainted, the scene can be described as miserable.

Mei Qianjing and Cheng Weidong held the torches tightly and leaned together under the wall, nervously looking at the place where the sound came from in front of them, and didn't pay attention to them for a while, and the dark place in front of them didn't know what the sound was, and after a while, there was a sound of "woo..." in the cave, and the sound was not like that of people or animals, but it was the sound of the wind blowing through something, very similar to the sound he blew after grinding a mouth with a green apricot kernel, it was this kind of whining sound. They waited a little longer, but nothing came out.

"Let's go to the front and see" The two people stood up and held the torch and walked carefully step by step into the hole, after walking forward for dozens of meters, there was a whining sound, but the sound became louder, the two looked at each other, and walked forward for a distance, and saw a big hole on the right side of the cave wall in front of them, the sound came from inside, they walked to the hole, and illuminated it with torches, it was not big, there were several broken tables and stools on the ground, and they could no longer be used, It was covered with dust, and walked a few steps forward, turned the corner and saw that the two sides of the hole were connected, Cheng Weidong's sharp eyes saw that there was a groove on the wall of the cave, and the wind would whine whenever it passed here, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at once, and as soon as their spirit was relaxed, they felt that their whole body had no strength, and they sat on the ground with their buttocks, and they were in a cold sweat, and even the hand holding the torch was sweaty.

The two of them sat in place for a while, and then slowly stood up when their bodies recovered, and when they walked out of here, they found that there were many iron railings on the opposite wall of the cave, which disappeared one after another on the top of the cave, and the iron railings they stepped on when they came down were the same. The two looked at each other.

"Let's get out of here! It's the same here as when we came down. Mei Qianjing said uncertainly.

"I don't know, why don't we go up and have a look?"

"Let's go back and bring them over first, I guess they're all terrified."

"Okay then." Cheng Weidong said helplessly. The two of them immediately returned the way they came, and when they returned to their original place, they found the children trembling together, fainting under the cave wall, and one lying on the ground, and the torches had been extinguished because of the dampness underground. Mei Qianjing went over and pulled the lying on the ground and the fainted ones over, while Cheng Weidong went over and pulled away the two children who were hugging each other, telling them that there was nothing in front of them, just the rumors. The two children who fainted just woke up and cried on the ground, rolling on the ground and shouting that they wanted to go home, to go back to their mothers, to go back to sue their parents to beat the two of them, Mei Qianjing and Cheng Weidong knew that they would inevitably be beaten when they went back today, and their mood was not very good, and now they can say that it is even worse, and they don't bother to explain to them what the sound they heard is going on.

"We've found the exit, if you want to get out, hurry up, and stay here if you don't leave." After saying that, the two turned around and left, and the children immediately stood up and cried when they heard this.

"This is it, climb up the railing and you should be able to get out!" Mei Qianjing pointed to the railing on the cave wall in front of him and said, the children were probably going home, and they didn't hear the uncertainty in his words, so they scrambled to climb up the railing, and after they all went up, Mei Qianjing and Cheng Weidong slowly climbed up, and when they climbed up, they found that the children were standing motionless in place, and they looked around to understand that they still didn't go out, they were still in the hole.

"Go any further and go out." When Cheng Weidong saw this situation, he could only panic. The two men took the children and continued to walk, the upper hole was smaller than the lower hole, but it was smoothed out by a straight passage that led to nowhere it led, and they walked for a long time, seeing that they were going farther and farther, and had already lost the direction from which they came, and now they could only go forward, and there was no turning back. The two of them were also anxious at this time, they came out at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost 3 o'clock when they went down the tunnel, it was so long that it had passed, it was estimated that it was dark outside, and when the parents came home from work, they must be in a hurry when they were no longer home, thinking of this, they couldn't help but speed up the pace of progress.
