Those people were all lying upright on the ground, neatly arranged, next to each other, like the scene of a rescue after a disaster. We thought that this hellish place like the underworld must be empty, but who knows, the earth is full of people! Zhong Ling'er and I were really startled, and immediately used flashlights to shine on the people on the ground, not understanding why they were lying on the ground. However, we quickly understood what was going on.

They are all dead people.

In fact, we can think at the beginning, how can there be people down here? Besides, there are so many, even if there are people, only dead people. And those people were wrapped in a thick layer of clothing, which had completely changed color and was covered with dust, and they were afraid that they would turn to dust if they were touched. Judging from its bare face and other parts, the body had been air-dried. In other words, all the people lying on the ground were dried corpses.

What we don't understand is, why are they arranged so neatly? And judging from the state of death, it was not painful in life. Could it be that they were used for burial?

Seeing that the madness was getting farther and farther, and there was only a small dot left in the electric light, Zhong Ling'er and I flawlessly studied these dried corpses on the ground, and both followed quickly.

After passing by several stone chambers in a row, we found that these stone chambers were all dried corpses without exception, and the number was staggering. The road ahead of us became more and more puzzling, with a stone wall on the left and a stone chamber on the right, with a passage about a meter wide running straight ahead. We don't know how long it is, and we don't know where it leads.

And the madness in front of him went faster and faster, and gradually he ran up. Zhong Ling'er and I had to pick up the pace. Zhong Ling'er is a girl, she has been shuttling in this underground for a long time, she has never rested, she has not eaten or drunk well, and soon she is out of breath, I slowed down and grabbed her hand, because we are all running, her hand is shaking again, and it took a while to grab it, and as soon as I grabbed her hand, she held my hand tightly, I was refreshed, and I also held her hand tightly and pulled her forward.

Because the road was not wide, she had to follow me.

I ran forward for about seven or eight minutes, and finally I was about to catch up with Madman, and Madman suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on the front. When we walked behind him, he reached out to block us. Through the electric light, we found a tanuki standing two meters in front of us. This tanuki is larger than the average domestic cat, with a round head and a short snout, large, round eyes, erect pupils, and small, rounded ears, which makes it quite cute. It was now facing us, its eyes red from the lightning, and its face frightened.

Here are rats I believe, but how can there be tanuki? This is underground.

I was about to ask where the crazy tanuki came from and where Xue'er went, but Zhong Linger preemptively said, "Isn't this the tanuki that appeared in the canyon?" How did it get here? ”

Crazy stared at the tanuki and said, "I don't know, Cher disappeared as she walked, and this tanuki appeared." ”

I blurted out, "Could it be that Cher is this tanuki?" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the tanuki turned and walked away, and we hurried to follow. But after walking less than three or four meters forward, a large slope suddenly appeared in front of him, and the tanuki jumped down the slope with a jump. We used a flashlight to shine on the slope, and found that the slope was big and wide, bottomless, and the slope was full of a strange stone beast, each two were about two meters apart, like an army, the Vermilion Bird was martial and orderly, and as far as the eye could see, it was boundless, and the stone beast was only afraid of thousands.

The opposite side of the slope is pitch black, and this side is seven or eight feet away, and it seems that it is also a large slope from its black outline, and it is the same as this side, and there are many black spots on the slope, which must also be stone beasts.

We were stunned by this grandiose and spectacular scene for a long time, we didn't expect that the underground would be so wide, and there were such wonders, not to mention the excavation of this slope, how much energy and time it would take to carve those stone beasts!

The madman was the first to react, and seeing that the tanuki had gone away, he jumped down the slope and chased after the tanuki quickly. Zhong Ling'er and I hesitated, not knowing whether to go down or not, because this slope is too high, there is no bottom, who knows if this is the way to the underworld? If that's the case, we'll really have no return. And I don't have a lot of food and water in my backpack, and the flashlight is getting dimmer, so if we run out of food and water and run out of light, it's a real dead end.

So, we urgently need to find a way, a way to the earth, instead of blindly chasing the tanuki, who can guarantee that tanuki is not a messenger from hell?

However, Zhong Ling'er and I finally followed, first, we didn't want to give up the madness, didn't we follow all the way up the stone steps just so that he could go back with us? Second, we also want to know what's underneath the slope.

I took Zhong Ling'er's hand and carefully went down the slope, and carefully shone it with a flashlight in front of a stone beast, and saw that this stone beast was about one meter high and half a meter wide, and I couldn't see what kind of monster it was, but it had a wide mouth and fangs, and its face was hideous, I was afraid that it was a fierce beast, and it was carved as smooth as jade, lifelike, if it could be moved to the ground, I was afraid that each one was priceless.

Crazy and farther, Zhong Linger and I couldn't help but speed up the pace, but because the slope angle is larger, the road is slippery, we dare not go fast, so as not to fall, so we walk very carefully, but also slowly, a few times Zhong Linger accidentally slipped and almost fell, fortunately I grabbed her hand. After walking only ten meters, our palms were sweaty. And a cold wind blew around us, like a lonely ghost wandering, and cold sweat was on our foreheads.

I don't know how long we walked, I don't know how far we walked, we finally walked the slope, below is a very wide stone road, three or four zhang wide, there are a lot of stone statues on the stone road, about every five or six meters away there is one, each stone statue is as high as one zhang, the face is carved very blurred, stand neatly, head high, burly and fierce.

On the other side of the slope was indeed a slope, and the two slopes were almost identical, with the same stone beasts sitting on them.

The surroundings were unusually silent, so quiet that only the heartbeats of me and Zhong Ling'er could be heard.

The tanuki disappeared, and the madness was gone, Zhong Ling'er and I took a look left and right on the stone road, but found no trace of them, and finally looked to the right.

After looking forward for about twenty or thirty meters, Zhong Ling'er and I stopped together, I used a flashlight to shine in front, but I couldn't shine on the end, and the road ahead seemed endless. I said to Zhong Ling'er that we may have come to the wrong place this time. Zhong Ling'er said very calmly: "Since you are here, just keep going." ”

So, we walked forward for a while, and then drank some water and ate some food, because we didn't know how long the road ahead was, we only ate a little bit, and we didn't dare to eat more. The light of the flashlight is getting fainter and fainter, but I'm afraid that it won't last long, so we turned off one and only used me. And we have been holding hands with each other, and the sweat in our palms slowly dried, in exchange for a faint warmth.

I didn't think that one day I would walk such a long way hand in hand with Zhong Ling'er, let alone that it would be in this situation. At first, I only cared about hurrying, looking for Crazy and Xue'er, and did not feel the warmth in Zhong Ling'er's hands, at this time, our hearts gradually quieted down, I suddenly felt that her hand was small, very tender and soft, holding her hand, my heart, welled up with an inexplicable sense of happiness, sweetly, I hope we can always hold each other's hands like this, go on like this, never let go.

Later, a wide stone appeared in front of us, and Zhong Ling'er and I didn't care whether it was clean or not, so we both sat on it. I still grabbed her hand and glanced at her, Zhong Ling'er looked ahead, still so calm and quiet. I smiled wryly: "We may really not be able to get out this time, do you regret it?" Zhong Ling'er shook her head slowly, "The road is our own walking, and it is also our own choice, so don't regret it." ”

"I regret it." I said, "I shouldn't have let you come with me, it doesn't matter if I die, but it will affect you......"

"If you die with me, wouldn't you?" Zhong Ling'er also looked at me.

Her eyes were bright, like stars in the sky, twinkling and twinkling.

A strange feeling came over me, and I said from the bottom of my heart: "I do!" "I really want to hug her and kiss her. However, I didn't do it, I suddenly remembered Wu Lele, and I felt that she was by our side at this time, always accompanying us and looking at us. Since I first saw Zhong Ling'er, I fell in love with her at first sight, I thought that she was all in my life, and I would only love her as a girl in my life. However, there was a Wu Lele, who cared for me and loved me like a sister, like a relative, and even disregarded her own life for me, I can feel that in addition to my parents, she is the person who loves me the most in this world. How can I Yang Xiaodao, how can I get the love of such a girl, what more can my husband ask for? I should have accepted her wholeheartedly and loved her, but for some reason, I couldn't let go of Zhong Ling'er, since I first saw her, I thought, I will never let go of her......

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, Zhong Ling'er and I couldn't help but shiver, and we both stood up together, only to feel the wind and cold around us.

"Let's go!" A sense of foreboding came to my heart, and I grabbed Zhong Ling'er's hand and walked forward quickly. After walking for about ten minutes, a light suddenly appeared in front of us, and we were in good spirits, and we quickened our pace, and when we got closer, we found that it was crazy, and he was not surprised at all when he saw us, but said lightly: "The road is at the end." ”

Yes, we also saw that there was a stone wall in front of it, and there was no road ahead.
