Chapter 54: The Cave
The last safe place?
I looked at this wilderness carefully, and thought of Shen Jingyun saying that there are arrangements everywhere here, so what Shen Jingyun meant was that there were people here to answer us?
Thinking of this, I looked at Shen Jingyun, and before I could ask a question, Shen Jingyun said to me: "You are very smart, looking at your eyes, I don't have too many doubts, I guess you have already guessed something, right?" ”
As I spoke, Shen Jingyun naturally grabbed my wrist and walked towards the small forest in front of me.
I gently broke free of Shen Jingyun's hand without a trace, but Shen Jingyun turned around, frowned and yelled at me a little angrily: "Lin Xiaoshuang, you won't avoid suspicion so much, I took your hand, just let you follow my footsteps." If you're not careful, you come across any of the formation mechanisms we have arranged, it will waste a lot of people's effort. ”
I'm not an unreasonable person, Shen Jingyun's scolding made me blush a little, so I took the initiative to pull Shen Jingyun's sleeve, and then asked, "Is there really someone to answer?" ”
My attitude made Shen Jingyun dissipate some of his anger, and he no longer cared about me, but said while pulling me away: "It turns out that it wasn't wrong for me to praise you just now, but you actually guessed that there was someone who answered." To be precise, it's not that there are people who answer, but there are many people who have worked hard to do something and are just waiting for you. ”
"Really?" I asked, but I didn't ask too much about what was going on, just wait a minute, and Shen Jingyun must have the same mentality, so he pulled me all the way to the grove.
When I walked into this grove, I realized that it was a small forest, but it was actually a simple forest composed of a tree with an unusually large canopy and a dozen trees scattered around it.
It is only because the huge branch in the middle is too thick, and the branches and leaves spread everywhere, forming a huge canopy, that it will give people the visual error of a small forest.
Due to the age, the main part of this long-looking tree has been hollowed out with a large hole that people can enter with a cat's waist, which is not unusual, and many old trees have this phenomenon, and I am not curious.
But Shen Jingyun pulled me straight into the big hole, my heart suddenly pounded nervously, thinking that it was impossible to squeeze into such a small space with Shen Jingyun, without feeling strange at all.
However, Shen Jingyun behaved very naturally, and after pulling me into the hole, he squatted down, lit the lighter, and gently stirred the floating soil on the ground.
After I was pulled into this tree hole by Shen Jingyun, I was surprised to find that although the entrance of this tree hole is not large, it has been hollowed out in the middle, so the space is not as cramped as I imagined. But I never dreamed that there was such a tunnel hidden in this tree hole.
As expected, Shen Jingyun lifted the wooden plank, and under the wooden board was a downward tunnel. I'm not smart either, at least that's how a lot of fiction TV is set up.
Shen Jingyun was very silent, maybe he didn't have so many messy things for me at this time, after lifting the plank, he said to me: "You go down first, I'll go back to move the plank back to its original position." ”
I looked at Shen Jingyun a little nervously, but Shen Jingyun moved his body to make way for me to go down to the tunnel, and my body and my body inevitably intertwined in the process, and the kind of close friction made me red-faced.
At this time, he still whispered in my ear: "You don't have to be so nervous, there's no danger down here, didn't I say it?" This is the last safe place. ”
I wanted to tell Shen Jingyun that I wasn't afraid, but my body was a little weak, my ears were so hot that I couldn't even speak, so I walked straight down the tunnel carefully.
It was a vertical downward passage, with a wooden ladder clinging to the earthen wall on one side. There is light below, and there are faint human voices, but they are far away, and they are not clearly audible.
I was a little restless, and I couldn't think about these questions, I knew that Shen Jingyun didn't deliberately staggered with me like that just now, nor did he deliberately speak in my ear, but the space in the tree hole was really not big.
But why did the warm breath, the unique smell of his body, make me react so violently? No matter what kind of entanglement you have in your heart, your body is always honest, right? In the face of the person you like, intimate contact is always heartbeating.
In such a cranky mind, I had already gone down to the bottom, and Shen Jingyun jumped down as if nothing happened. It turns out that this passage is not deep, but it looks like three or four meters, and the stairs down are not a few steps to the bottom, and after the end, it is a passage that can accommodate two people in parallel, and two oil lamps are quietly lit.
Although this tunnel is a little depressing, it is not eerie, and the dim light of the oil lamp can bring people a strange sense of security.
Shen Jingyun took my wrist and continued to move forward, and before I took two steps, there was a turn, and at the end of this bend, there was an iron door.
It was only a few meters away, and Shen Jingyun strode me to the front of the iron door, and then knocked his fingers on the iron door a few times rhythmically. In just a few seconds, the small window on the iron door opened, revealing a tired, but wary face.
It was a strange man, in short, I hadn't seen it, but after he saw Shen Jingyun, he suddenly relaxed, and when he saw me standing next to Shen Jingyun again, the look on his face became surprised, and he said with some stumbling: "Old, boss...... You're really ......."
Shen Jingyun quickly interrupted him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and open the door, time is limited." ”
The man said "oh", and quickly pressed the iron door, with the opening of the iron door, I was directly pulled in by Shen Jingyun, I don't understand why Shen Jingyun interrupted him so eagerly, but that person seemed to be a chatter, after we went in, he also muttered to himself: "The boss is still bold, and his girlfriend is really used as bait." ”
I can't tell what mood I feel when I hear this, but the good news is that these people don't know me and even say that I am Shen Jingyun's girlfriend, presumably Shen Jingyun has more or less mentioned it on weekdays, but sadly, the fate of being used as bait makes others have to say that Shen Jingyun is very willing.
Hearing this muttering, Shen Jingyun was originally very calm, but he turned his head sharply and glared angrily at the guy who talked a lot, and the man was startled, so he had to scratch his head and shrink to the side.
In this case, I didn't say much, so I had to divert my attention from the cave behind the iron gate.
It is a large cave dug by hand, and on the top of the cave, several bright oil lamps are hung.
The cave is large, and there are some things that seem to be a little messy, such as sleeping bags, food, etc. However, due to the limited lighting, it is impossible for even the brightest oil lamp to illuminate the entire cave, so I can't see what else is in the distance.
I just saw a huge template table under the lamp in the center, and on the table were messy with some depicted maps, paper and pencils, cups, cigarettes, beer cans, and cans and other items. Next to the table, there were more than a dozen men in camouflage pants and tank tops, sitting around them, talking loudly.
When they saw me coming, they all turned their heads to look at me, their eyes full of scrutiny.
I was surprised to see an acquaintance in it - Xu Lang! I haven't seen him for a few months, he seems to be stronger and more refined, his expression is more calm than before, and the whole person exudes a sense of leanness.
Obviously, he also saw my arrival, and greeted me with a little surprise, saying, "Xiaoshuang, are you really here?" ”
Or else? I smiled bitterly in my heart, but I smiled naturally on my face, and I also responded to Xu Lang: "I didn't expect you to be here." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Lang smiled: "I naturally want to follow the boss." ”
I wonder in my heart, hasn't Xu Lang always acted alone? How did he become Shen Jingyun's subordinate? What brought them together again?
But in this case, I don't want to ask too much, and Xu Lang is not a person who talks much, after he greeted me, he fell silent.
I stayed in it, and I didn't know what I was going to do or what to say, but Shen Jingyun skillfully took off his coat, rolled up the sleeves of his T-shirt, and walked to the table naturally, pointing at the maps on the table, asking something, frowning from time to time, as if thinking about something.
This made me more and more at a loss, and I could only ask, "Shen Jingyun, what are you bringing me here for?" You can't just hang me here all the time. ”
Shen Jingyun was a little busy, as if he couldn't take care of me anymore, he glanced at Xu Lang, and ordered casually: "Xu Lang, Xiaoshuang has any questions, you can explain them to her." I also probably told her everything about this operation. ”
Xu Lang responded simply, walked up to me, and said to me in a low voice, "Come with me." ”
I couldn't refuse anything, so I could only follow behind Xu Lang, and soon, Xu Lang led me out of this large cave, and then turned to a passage.
On either side of this passage are many small caves, the size of a cave in the northwest.
The caves were inhabited by people, but most of them were young-looking girls, plus a few children who appeared to be no older than ten years old, and the children were both male and female.
Some of them seem a little stupid and stupid, and those who seem to be a little normal also look frightened and timid, not like normal people at all.
What is this place? Looking at these people, why do you feel so bad about me? Is this a secret prison?
