Chapter 209: The Woman in the Basement
The room is similar to the other rooms, with tables, stools, and even potted plants, but because of the bad sunlight, the potted plants here look wilted and lifeless.
The housekeeper turned around and glanced at me, a little hesitant, and then looked at He Chuxue, but He Chuxue looked indifferent, and said, "I didn't say it, he is not an outsider, where is the passage, just open it." ”
Well, it seems that He Chuxue still has a little more than I know.
The housekeeper still seemed to be a little hesitant, and he didn't move for a long time, He Chuxue urged again and again, saying that if he missed the time, maybe it would cause a big disaster, and there was no way to remedy it.
I don't know where He Chuxue learned to be so scaresome, I actually think that she is very suitable to be the charlatan she said.
The housekeeper was too old to stand the scare, so he hurried to open the door.
I saw the housekeeper pick up a potted plant by the door, put it on the table, and then groped under the table for a long time, as if turning on a switch, I heard a "click" sound, the housekeeper straightened up, two hands broke the potted plant, turned slightly, a sound of stones rubbing came, just under our feet, a stone slab slowly retreated at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing a hole.
"Well, it's not a place for me to get in, Miss, please be careful."
After the housekeeper instructed He Chuxue, he looked at me with some embarrassment, He Chuxue probably saw what he meant, so he comforted him and said that it didn't matter, if something really happened, she would be responsible for everything, and she could explain it to Mr. He.
The housekeeper also instructed me to take good care of their eldest lady when I bite me, and he will wait outside for the outside to come out.
After thousands of instructions, I went out uneasily.
He Chuxue didn't hesitate, but directly began to go down, urging me as he went.
He Chuxue had already fallen to the halfway point, I squatted down and grabbed her hair, she raised her head, wanting to scold me, probably looking at my smiling and groaning appearance, and suddenly stopped.
I asked her, "It's not the first time you've come down, is it?" It's like acting in front of the old man! ”
He Chuxue dragged her hair back from my hand, and said angrily, if you haven't come down, then how dare you go straight down? What's more, if she hadn't come down, she wouldn't have realized the seriousness of the problem!
"Anyway, sooner or later, I'm going to be open, instead of sneaking around every time, it's better to explain it at once this time, and I can follow my grandfather down properly in the future."
That's right.
I followed He Chuxue and also went underground. It's not a big place, the steps are about two meters high, and after I came down, I felt like the roof was about to rub against my hair several times.
In front of us was a very narrow corridor, and I hesitated for a while, but He Chuxue was very straightforward, and began to walk forward, looking like he was familiar with the road.
Since there is a tour guide, I have nothing to scruple about, so I can rest assured and boldly follow He Chuxue forward.
He Chuxue walked for a while, but I felt that something was wrong, there were walls on both sides, could it be that such a big underground was full of walls, and there was nothing? Could it be that He Chuxue was deceived by Old Man He?
I told He Chuxue my question, but she didn't speak, and walked forward for a while, until she couldn't see the steps behind her, and then she stopped, raised her hand and didn't know where to press it.
Although there are lamps around here, they are all the most primitive kerosene lamps, which we light as we walk, and the scope of illumination is limited.
In an instant, I heard the sound of the mechanism activating, and the wall on my left suddenly shook, and then a curtain-like wall slowly rose up along the wall, revealing a door!
The door was a tin door, closed tightly, and there was not even a vent on it.
He Chuxue took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. I looked a little stunned, and said to myself, this stinky girl is quite well prepared, and even the key has been stolen......
He Chuxue glanced at me, with an expression of disgust for my fuss, and said, "It's all said, I've been here many times, if I don't even have a spare key, wouldn't it be possible to steal my grandfather's key every time!" ”
The iron door opened, there was a "squeak" sound, and suddenly a piece of light came out of it, and I couldn't open my eyes due to the sudden strong light, so I quickly covered my eyes with my hands, and I heard a burst of laughter from inside.
It was a strange laugh, and the sound was full of sickness, as if I had come to a mental hospital.
When we walked in, I noticed a man tied to a chair and started laughing when he saw us.
This is a woman, the whole person is very shriveled, I mean not only the figure, her whole face is very wrinkled, but looking at her appearance, it is clear that she has not yet reached such an age. Even the lips were peeling, and the sides of the lips were white, as if they hadn't drunk water for days.
I quietly asked He Chuxue and said, "What's the matter, you are abusing lynching and mistreatment......
He Chuxue glared at me fiercely and pointed to the other party's hand.
Her hands were tied to the chair, because the whole person was a little excited to see us, and her whole body was struggling. Then I saw that this woman had no fingers on her hands......
It's not that she was born without fingers in the traditional sense, but that all of her fingers have been cut off, leaving only two palms, and she is powerlessly tapping the armrests of the chair.
There are several wounds on her palm, obviously new, and the broken part of her finger has not been bandaged and cared for in time, and she has no one to take care of in this kind of place, and the wound will rub against the chair, so the wound has not completely scabbed, and it can still bleed from time to time.
The woman was unkempt, with half-length hair scattered and covered in blood, and it was clear that she had been through something unimaginable before she was caught here.
"This ...... What's the matter with this man? ”
He Chuxue walked in front of the other party, and didn't seem to be afraid at all, sure enough, she had been here many times, after all, I am a big man, and when I see such a woman, I feel a little infiltrated.
He Chuxue looked at the woman and said: "This is the daughter-in-law of a subordinate of our family, and she didn't have any serious work, so she went out to wash clothes and earn some extra money, but suddenly one day, this woman came home with her child, and everything changed......"
I looked at He Chuxue's expression, very calm, as if what she said was not true, everything was just a simple story......
