53. Shawshank's Hole of Redemption
After successfully getting in touch with Bai Ye, Ding Ri began to try to save himself.
Because the trapdoor above the ladder was locked, and it was impossible to go up.
He had no choice but to remove the kerosene lamp from the wall and pinch his nose to check the interior of the basement.
At the other end of the long basement was a bare stone wall, on which Ding Ri tapped his fingers.
"Huh? Doesn't sound right?! ”
Behind the stone wall is empty!
"There's an escape route?"
Ding Ri's spirit was lifted.
I really didn't expect it to be so easy to escape from this basement?
He hurriedly raised the kerosene lamp and approached the stone wall, noticing that there were some unusual gaps in the stone wall.
He dug his fingers into one of the cracks and pulled a stone out with all his might.
Whoa......
As the stone was pulled out, the stones piled on top of it collapsed, revealing a narrow hole in the back of the stone wall.
"That's it?"
Behind the stone wall was not an escape route, it was just a small hollow hole.
Ding Ri couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and put the kerosene lamp into the hole to check, and found a ragged skeleton sitting inside.
In line with the principle that if there are corpses, there are relics, Ding Ri pulled some of the stones apart, curled up and burrowed into the hole.
However, the skull clanged poorly, and the only spoon in his hand was still worn.
A line of words was also carved on the wall against which the skeleton rested:
'Look! This is my Shawshank Cave of Redemption. ’
“……”
"Redeem your size, but in the end you didn't die in this hole, you all rotted into skeletons."
"Big brother, are you here to be funny?"
Obviously, this skeleton brother had the same experience as Ding Ri before his death, and it seems that he has been imprisoned here for a long time.
From the self-deprecating words on the wall, it can be seen that Brother Skeleton was an optimistic person before his death, and he was still an emperor of perseverance, and he actually dug such a big hole with a spoon alone.
Unfortunately, he could not escape the fate of death in the end......
"That's right!"
Ding Ri suddenly thought of something.
"Hiding in here, maybe you can avoid those villagers......"
If the entrance to the cave is sealed with stones, it will be difficult for outsiders to find the hole behind the stone wall without careful inspection.
Thinking about it this way, Ding Ri somewhat understood the escape method in this basement.
He began to rebuild the stones scattered on the ground one by one, restoring them to the appearance of stone walls.
Then he curled up in the pit and blew out the kerosene lamp.
About ten minutes passed......
Voices of people were heard from above, and someone opened the trapdoor in the basement and climbed down the ladder.
Through the cracks in the stone wall, Ding Ri saw a villager with a torch inspecting the basement.
He switched to a cautious stance, holding his breath and cowering in the pit motionless.
"The outsider has run away!"
The villagers who came down to check did not find the cat on the stone wall, and shouted and climbed the ladder up, and even forgot to close the trapdoor in the basement.
Then there was a chaotic sound of footsteps from above, and the light of the torches at the entrance to the basement disappeared, and the villagers stupidly ran outside to find Ding Ri.
"Sure enough...... What about Shawshank's Cave of Redemption. ”
Ding Ri couldn't help but be in awe of the far-sightedness of the Skeleton Perseverance Emperor.
He tore down the stone wall and climbed out, following a wooden ladder out of the basement.
Above is a room of about ten square meters, and on the table in the center of the room, his DV camera is prominently placed.
"Okay, it's easy."
Ding Ri smiled confidently, picked up the DV machine and walked out of the room.
……
……
Thunder roared in the sky, and lightning flashed in the dark clouds.
A rainstorm is brewing......
As the villagers began to search the village for outsiders, the previously locked houses became free to enter and exit.
"It is closest to take the straight road in the middle of the village to the church."
But there are several villagers patrolling this road, and walking on it in a grand manner will definitely be discovered.
Bai Ye flashed into a two-story hut not far from the oil drum.
The room is lit with dim light bulbs and several shelves, making it look like a grocery store.
The walls were strewled with blood, and in the corner was a dead cat that had been cut in half.
Bai Ye went up the corner stairs to the second floor, found a roll of bandages on a shelf full of snakes and insects, and then opened the balcony door and came to the balcony.
There was a hole in the railing of the balcony, not far from the second floor of the house next door.
Bai Ye ran for a short while, jumped out, and reached out to grab the edge of the balcony of the house.
But at this moment, a patrolling villager suddenly turned out of the corner below, and he looked left and right, as if he noticed something.
Bai Ye had no choice but to grasp the edge of the balcony and hang it in the air, not daring to act rashly.
The patrolling villager untied his hand directly below Bai Ye, but did not notice Bai Ye above his head.
After the other party finished going to the toilet and left, Bai Ye used his hands and feet to climb to the second floor of the opposite house.
He took the stairs down to the first floor of the house, and then crossed the fence in the backyard and entered the next room.
I wanted to walk through the house the way before, but when the door opened, a pair of dirty feet floated in front of me.
An old woman in a white nightgown hanged herself in a kitchen-like room, her body swaying back and forth in mid-air, and with the sudden flash of lightning outside, the old woman's death looked terrifying.
"Normal people are all dead, and all that remains are a bunch of crazy people."
After Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he brushed aside the hanged corpse and walked into the front hall.
He squatted in front of the front hall door for a while, observing the situation outside for a while, and waited until the two patrolling villagers had walked away before opening the door of the front hall and walking out.
The road ahead was empty, and Bai Ye ran wildly in the dark with the DV machine for a short distance, and he almost reached the bottom of the cliff.
Unfortunately, the farmer man appeared at the end of the straight.
He carried a machete in his hand, and he had to stand guard in the middle of the straight road like a door god, with a posture that would not let anyone pass.
Bai Ye had no choice but to choose to detour from the house again.
But he couldn't continue his previous good luck this time, and there were actually people in this house that was opened!
A man in a sweatshirt with a hood covering his face was crouching in front of the door, holding a saw in his hand, a dead sheep on the ground with blood and internal organs all over the ground.
As soon as Bai Ye entered the door, he was discovered by the hooded man, he raised his head, his expression was distorted and fanatical, and when his eyes looked at Bai Ye, his eyes flashed with a murderous light.
"The Lamb will not escape the fate of being slaughtered!"
The sheep sawing man let out a loud cry and quickly pounced on Bai Ye.
Bai Ye hurriedly turned sideways to avoid, but was hugged by the other party with one leg.
"Come, my little lamb, and I will let you die peacefully."
The sheep sawing man laughed, hugged Bai Ye's legs, and shouted loudly outside the door: "I caught the outsider, I caught him!" ”
Bai Ye was in danger, and the moment he was hugged by his leg, he kicked the other party in the ribs.
Then, when the other party was in pain and let go slightly, he stretched out his hands to hold the hooded man's head, and hit the opponent with a hard knee.
Under the heavy blows suffered by the sheep sawing man one after another, his head was already full of stars.
At this moment, the shouts of the patrolmen came from outside the door.
Bai Ye hurriedly left the fainting saw sheep man and ran towards the backyard of the house.
