Chapter 15 Passages
When he was young, he went out to fight with others, and my sister was never afraid of death, and there were steel pipe machetes hidden under the beds in the dormitory. Now, as soon as the burden of life is weighed, so many mouths are waiting to rely on me to eat, who is willing to die? Saying this now really makes me unhappy before I die.
At this time, I suddenly felt that I was stupid, and I should do what I could to save people, which Kong Xian knew better than me. If I really die underground with Liu Yang today, apart from not having to buy a cemetery to build a grave, what is worth it in the end?
As if I had made a big decision, I whispered a curse "idiot", and then slowly let go of the hand that grabbed Liu Yang......
Losing the strength to pull, I immediately relied on the support of my two legs and two hands to stop in the middle of this passage, and Liu Yang was pulled out more than ten meters in an instant.
I don't know how long this passage is, according to my estimates, we will only come in one or twenty meters, if I turn back and go back, at most more than half an hour can climb out and join Mo Ranchen and them. They may have found a better route and are eating cookies waiting for me to go back.
With that in mind, I stopped hesitating and began to turn around and climb back. But it's easy to get down, it's hard to go up, the slope of the passage is very steep, and I have injuries all over my body, so it's very difficult to climb up. Occasionally, when the strength is loosened, I can't wait to climb two meters and retreat three meters.
After climbing up for about ten minutes, I couldn't hold it anymore, and when I stopped, I felt that the heat was unbearable, it was difficult to breathe, and I felt that I was gasping in two breaths, so I had to stop and rest for a minute or two.
After a while, I raised my hand to the stone wall above, intending to climb up, but my hand suddenly fell into the air, and the whole person fell down instantly. I hurriedly straightened my legs and opened my arms, thanks to the "brake" in time, I didn't slide far, otherwise I would have to climb again from the beginning, I am afraid that I will lose my strength in the end, and I still have to fall down and be with Liu Yang.
After a little effort, I climbed back to the position where my hand was empty, and I didn't see it clearly when I fell too fast, and now I found that there was a fork in the road, but the diameter of the hole was very small, and my body could only be said to be just able to climb in. If you change it to Liu Yang, you have to cut the meat clean.
I touched the stone slag around the entrance of the cave and found that this fork in the road was not the same age as this passage, but looked like it had been dug up not long ago.
The first people to jump into my mind were the people I was talking to when I was drowning, and if I guessed correctly, they should be the only people in this underground who can breathe besides us.
Anyway, I don't have the strength to climb up, so it's better to climb out from this fork in the road and see where it will lead, if there is really an exit, it's not too late to find a way to notify Mo Ranchen and Lin Su.
I tried various positions and struggled to squeeze myself into a fork in the road. Finally freed his hands and feet, and he was able to take a breath.
I don't know exactly why the person digging this hole is, I guess he wanted to take a shortcut, but it's unlikely, unless the person didn't have the strength to make it up. This is not a foolish man moving mountains, he still has a son when he dies, and a son has a grandson when he dies, and there is no end to his children and grandchildren.
Other than that, there was only one possibility, the man was blocked in the passage, and the only way was to find another way. In this way, the slate on it was originally a mechanism, and after Liu Yang and I were dragged down, no one can say whether the slate was re-closed, maybe I finally scrapped half my life and climbed up, in exchange for only a sealed exit.
Thinking of this, I pinned almost all my hopes on this fork, and after lying down and resting for about five minutes, I began to climb into the fork of the road, which was very narrow and more depressing than the passage outside. Fortunately, its length was not long, and it was estimated that it had climbed four or five meters, and an open space suddenly appeared in front of me.
When I looked around with the headlamp, my eyes were straight, and my surprised eyes almost fell to the ground. This life is a forty-square-meter one-bedroom apartment, which has an old pear blossom wood bed in the sixties and seventies, and a solid wood desk next to the bed, which looks like it is some years old, there are very obvious traces of human life, and the traces are very new, as if someone just left here not long ago, and there are several gowns of different colors hanging on the wooden hangers, mainly in gray and white tones.
I really can't imagine that there are still people living in this terrible underground. Those fire pine nuts can't be pets in the backyard of this great god, right? Of course, this is all secondary, the key is how will she live? What to eat and drink? Or is it ...... It's not human at all.
I suddenly remembered that I still had a map in my pocket, and I wondered if it would be marked on the map.
I took it out and studied it carefully for a while, and found that there was not a single line similar to the position I was in, not to mention the newly dug passage, not even the one that sloped down outside. It seems that the people who took over this map, including Kong Xian, have never been here. I sighed to myself, this is really lucky, in the time of Napoleon, it would have been called the opening of the New World.
That's when I suddenly noticed something that caught my attention, it was what seemed to be an old photograph that was hidden under the pillow and a corner was exposed.
I'm a bit of a thief, if the owner here comes back and happens to see me trespassing on the house, will she chop me up and feed the pine nuts to the fire? But curiosity drove me to the bedside and picked up the picture.
The photograph is black and white, and at first glance it looks like the effect of an old camera from decades ago, but due to its age, some places are completely blurry and cannot be seen clearly.
However, it can be clearly seen that there are two people in the photo, a man and a woman, holding hands and standing straight, they are wearing clothes from the Republic of China period, the man has a pair of eye sockets, and Si Swenwen looks like a college student. The woman wore a solid color long skirt and a braided on the right side, like the eldest lady of someone's family. Both of them had a happy look on their faces, and I felt like I had been fed a large mouthful of dog food through the photos.
I don't know why, but looking at this photo, tears began to flow out of the corners of my eyes, and it was an amazing feeling. I feel like I've stepped into the picture, experienced hardship, famine, hardship, and photographed this eternal beauty with my most beloved person in the midst of flowers in that spring season.
I seemed to have forgotten where I was, I forgot the pain in my body, and I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth just by looking at the person in the photo laughing.
"You...... Who is it......! ”
Suddenly, a hoarse roar came, and I was startled, and the photo was thrown out of my hand in an instant.
Before I could see where the voice was coming from, a white shadow flashed in front of me, rushing towards the photo I had taken away.
Due to the distance, the man did not receive the photograph in the end, and she bent down and slowly picked it up from the ground, and I heard her muttering something, but I couldn't really hear it.
For a moment, it seemed familiar to me, as if I had heard it somewhere. But the man had her head down, and her long grayish hair was casually draped down, covering her face tightly. She wears a long white dress with many unknown stains.
"You...... How did you get in......"
She asked me, and I only felt that the voice was becoming more and more familiar, and I tried desperately to find its owner in my mind, but neglected to answer the man's question.
The next second, she turned around and stood in front of me, I felt my heart stop beating for a few seconds, and her face was only two centimeters away from me at most. I was the first to smell the rancid fish, and then I saw the strange face that I will never forget. Her skin was wrinkled together, as if it had been washed with sulfuric acid, and her eyes, which had no whites, stared at me. It was as if I could see an indescribable anger in it.
I froze there, unable to react as I had that day. It wasn't until she slapped me and knocked me to the ground that I let out a deafening scream and pulled my leg out of the hole where I had been going.
