116. a pig cage

Out of the back door of the small wooden building, there is a ravine. The ditch was full of rotting leaves, and I don't know how deep it was. People who have experience in living in the jungle will bypass this kind of ditch when they see it, otherwise they may never be able to climb up again if they step on it.

Hanbo led the madman up the gravel path at the edge of the ravine to a mountain wall. This mountain wall is very hidden, and there are not many people on this mountain except for the medicine collectors, and there is already a ravine in front of it blocking the way, and a small wooden building has been built in front of the ravine. If you don't go through the wooden building, you can only go up from the cliffs on both sides.

There is a cave on the left side of the mountain wall, and a large iron gate is installed at the entrance of the cave.

When the madman saw the iron door, he cried out so violently that he seemed to have seen something that frightened him so much.

There were also faint sounds from inside the cave, like the shouts of people and the roars of wild beasts.

Hanbo took out the key, unlocked the iron door, and led the madman inside.

The cave turned around and soon became dark.

Hanbo took out a flashlight and led the way in front, while the other three men carried the madman forward.

The voice in the cave was loud and clear, and it was the call of a man.

"What is the noise, the noise makes Lao Tzu irritable!"

Han Bo cursed, and the flashlight shone forward.

In the light of the flashlight, you can see a river in front of you, and many iron cages are hanging on the walls of the cave beside the river. Half of the cage is submerged in water and half is exposed. Some of the cages can be seen empty and some of them have people inside. The shouts came from the man's cage and echoed through the cave.

Hanba went to an empty cage and used the key to open the cage door so that the madman could be locked inside. The madman remained silent as if he had resigned himself to his fate, and obediently entered the cage, grasping the iron bar with both hands, and half of his body was immersed in the water.

The man in a cage next to him shouted: "Hanbo! You're not a thing! What are you putting me in here? Let me out! ”

Han Bo said impatiently: "Han Laizi is called fierce by you!" If you call me again, I won't bring you food. ”

Han Laizi begged him: "Han Boye! We're our own people, why did you lock me up? ”

Hanbo said: "You kid is not enough to succeed and more than to lose!" If you hadn't offended the surname Shi for the sake of a crazy woman, how could you have harmed the medicine woman? ”

Han Raizi said, "I didn't know it would be like that!" Haven't you done this before? Nothing happened! ”

Hampo said, "Can that be the same? You're a guy from Yuziba, don't you know what the surname Shi is for? ”

Han Laizi cried out mournfully: "I know it's wrong! Master Hanbo, let me out, tell me to do anything! ”

In the cages on the side were Han Laizi's father and those brothers, and they all begged Han Bo together: "Han Bo, it's all my family!" You can't do this to us! ”

Han Bo said: "It's not that I want to lock you up, it's really the medicine woman who spoke." She's angry now, and after two days she's gone, I'll beg her to let you go. ”

Han Laizi cried: "Then why don't you change me to a cleaner cave, this cage is full of water, I can't sleep if I want to sleep, and I will be rotten for two more days!" ”

"After a while, the water level will go down, and you will be able to lie down and sleep," said Hanbo. But don't blame me for not warning you, the water level hasn't risen yet, and when it rises, you'll just have to pant with your nostrils exposed. ”

After he finished speaking, he locked the cage of the madman, and turned back and left, leaving only the cries of Han Laizi and his group echoing in the darkness behind him.

One of the three people who came with him asked, "Brother Hanbo, who made this cave, it's amazing!" ”

"You're going to make a fuss! This kind of pig cage existed during World War II, and the Japanese invented it to lock prisoners of war. Some are in caves, some are in rivers, and there has to be water anyway. The best in the cave, no one to watch, when the groundwater recedes, the cage is dry and you can sleep. When the water rises, the cage is only about ten centimeters on the surface of the water, and it is difficult to catch a breath, and there may be something in the water, and the sin ......"

Han Bo showed off his knowledge in front of his younger brother, "There are many pig cages like this in Myanmar and Vietnam, and I heard that there are more in the Golden Triangle." It's rare on our side now, and the old iron cages found in the mountains have been dismantled by the locals to sell scrap iron. ”

"Why is the medicine woman locking people here?"

"Hehe, I don't know! If you are locked up in it for a few days, you will know what it means to live rather than die! Do you know how to punish prisoners in prison for their mistakes? ”

A man next to him said, "I know, I heard that it's confinement." ”

"That's right, it's confinement, commonly known as a small black house." Han Bo said, "No matter who you are, no matter how powerful you are, you can carry it, put it in the small black room, and release it after three or five days, and you will be able to protect and obey it, I heard that people who have been locked up for a long time are crazy!" ”

"No wonder the people locked up here are crazy, I thought they were crazy, but they were locked up crazy."

"But isn't it wilder when people are crazy? Why do all these madmen listen to the medicine woman? ”

"Medicine Buddha is the reincarnation of Medicine Buddha, don't you know!"

"I heard that Yao Po has a junior sister, who is even more powerful than Yao Po, and she looks demonic, and the man is hard at a glance!"

"Really? When will we take a look! ”

"Don't talk about miles, don't talk about miles, it's easy to have an accident if you talk too much, look at the fate of those people in the cage......"

"Alas, Brother Hanbo, why don't those people scream?"

"What?"

Hanbo stopped and listened carefully, and the cave was very quiet, except for the echo of the few of them as they spoke.

"Hey, it's strange! These turtle grandchildren won't die, right? Gotta go back and see. ”

They walked back with their flashlights, but as they walked, they realized that something was wrong.

Although this cave has many turns, it has been in and out many times, and there is no other way, so it will not go wrong, but after walking for a long time, it has not come to the place where the pig cage is hung.

The flashlight flashed a few times and went out, as if it was out of power.

Immediately there was darkness all around.

"Brother Hanbo, why is it so dark? I'm scared! ”

"What are you afraid of! Coward! ”

Hanbo said so, and his own heart was hairy, and he always felt that something was watching them in the dark.

He reached for the lighter on his body and lit it.

The light of the fire is like a star in the dark night in the deep dark cavern, and it has no effect except to add to the mystery.

After a while, the lighter burned so hot that it burned Hanbo's hand.

Hanbo screamed and threw the lighter away.

The fire was not extinguished, and the lighter rolled out on the ground. Probably because of the air leak, the flames were strung up all at once.

In the firelight, Hanbo saw a woman standing in the depths of the cave.

The woman was covered with only a few strips of silky cloth, covering the key parts, and the graceful and delicate curves of her figure evoked infinite reverie in the firelight.

Han Bo only glanced at it, and then didn't dare to look at it again. He didn't even see what the woman's face looked like, only a long silver-white hair spread out behind him, stretching out like a devil into the darkness around him.
