In addition to the slow speed of such advancement, the actions of the crowd are no longer the product of a positive attitude, but driven by numbness. The environment has complicated their thinking, and their subconscious minds are more or less thinking about the time and way of "death", as if the god of death has stretched out his magic hand to them in some corner of the darkness, and they will be killed at any time in the next second. In their view, what they are doing now is no longer meaningful, just a symbolic expression of demand.

In the midst of everyone's thoughts, suddenly, there was a slight vibration from the stone wall they touched, and the sudden touch frightened everyone stopped all movements, and quietly accepted the sudden information with their palms and ears. After nearly half a minute, everything fell back into silence.

After confirming that there was no movement, Feng Qingguo asked softly: "What happened just now?" What happened? ”

"I don't know!" After the people behind him whispered that they didn't know what was going on, Feng Qingguo led everyone back to continue to grope forward.

Five minutes later, Feng Qingguo suddenly felt that the hand that was exploring forward was empty, and he quickly turned sideways and touched it to the right, the right side was still a cold stone, and then he touched the front, it was also empty.

Excited, he immediately shouted: "The exit has appeared, we can get out!" Da Zhuang, you and whoever in the back hurry up and carry the thing that is lying on the corpse, and then we go out! ”

Feng Daring asked excitedly, "Brother, how did you know that we could go out?" ”

"I'm not sure it's out, but there's a fork in the road ahead of me, which means we have a chance to get out of this endless loop."

"Do you have a fork in the road ahead of you? Great, I'm going back! ”

"It should be someone who touched the mechanism just now, and the mechanism opened this passage!"

After a while, Da Zhuang and the others returned to the team, and the group was like a child playing a game, leading one by one, into the newly discovered fork in the road. In the dark, everyone felt a little: the height was compressing, and when I first came in, I could still stand up straight, and after walking a few steps, I found that my waist couldn't be straight, and if I straightened my waist a little, my head would hit the top. After walking in the dark for about five minutes, Feng Qingguo suddenly slipped under his feet, and dragged everyone into another obviously downward passage. After sliding in this passage for more than 10 seconds, there was a dazzling light in front of them, and they quickly closed their eyes, and before their eyes could adjust to the light, they all fell the dry riverbed, and looked around, trees, weeds and sunlight, and they finally came out!

It wasn't until the sun burned their faces that everyone slowly got up with a chirp. Smelling the aroma of the earth and plants, and ignoring the pain of the fall, Feng Qingguo looked up at the place where he threw them out, it turned out that they had slipped out of a pipe that resembled a sewer.

I moved my body, although my nose was blue and my face was swollen, but it was no big deal. Patting the dust on his body, Zhang Qing said: "This is not right, I walked out by myself when Xiao Sizhuan and I were confused, and now we are falling out, what is going on?" ”

"What else can it be, that is, that passage is not one, there are other passages in it, but those are not important, the important thing is that we come out, just come out alive, forget about it, let's go and see if the trap is set to trap anything, get out of here!"

"No, even though it's out, we don't have to know why, right?" Zhang Qing retorted unwillingly.

"What can you do if you see it? I can't see what the real secret is, so what do I tell them when I go back? Say you've met a ghost? Are we obsessed with ghosts? Isn't this a laughing stock? ”

After climbing a few small slopes, everyone arrived at the chain flip mechanism again. Feng Qingguo roughly calculated, from this position to the place where they fell out, it was about 2 miles away, and the height difference was almost 15 meters. After pondering for a while, he smiled bitterly and pulled out the wooden stick he was holding, and the slate closed again under the counterweight of the mechanism, waiting for the arrival of the next destined person.

Back at the station, Feng boldly proposed to go and see the results of the hunt first, and then eat a meal for herself first, and raise her spirits, otherwise they would be disgraced and would have something to do at a glance. The statement was agreed, and after leaving Xiao Si to take care of the crazy educated youth, everyone went to test the results of the hunt.

The results are not bad! A large wild boar of more than 100 catties and three very fat hares were trapped. As a result, after the prey was killed, the five men returned to the garrison with the prey. After selecting the largest hare, Feng Qingguo finished cleaning up the rabbit with three strokes and five divisions, this hare is really fat, and there are more than three catties of skin and internal organs. After telling Zhang Qinghe and the abacus to pick up some pine branches, Feng Qingguo took Feng Daring to the river to wash rabbit meat.

On the way, Feng Qingguo asked, "Bold, were there many people here before?" ”

"No, basically no one comes, and the hunters don't come to this forest, they all go to the forest below to hunt."

"Is there any other legend about this?"

"Haunted? In other words, it's a haunting, and no one knows about it anyway, so they don't dare to cross the river. ”

"Where is that blind man now?"

"I died the year before last."

"Where does he live? Anything left? ”

"It's in the easternmost part of the village, and after his death, the house has been uninhabited, and it is deserted, and what can the poor people leave behind, it's not a few broken houses. By the way, brother, why did you ask him? ”

"It's nothing," Feng Qingguo wanted to speak again and again, but he knew that it was not appropriate not to say anything, so he pretended to say loudly: "Thank you to that blind man for having eyes underground and helping us get out of this hellish place!" ”

Feng Daring cleaned the rabbit meat seriously by the river, Feng Qingguo washed his hands and washed his face with water, stood aside and looked at their temporary station, the more he looked, the more he felt that the terrain was strange, but he couldn't remember what was strange at once, and after Feng Daring washed the rabbit meat, he went back.

The collapsed educated youth were also awake, but they were very weak, and they were more embarrassed by the performance just now, and they bowed their heads and listened to them talk about the rest of the matter. Smelling the fragrance of burning pine branches and rabbit meat, the educated youths put aside the fear and confusion of an hour ago, and tasted the delicious food given by nature in laughter. At the same time, it was also agreed that the injuries on his body were caused while hunting wild boars, and this underground matter was not allowed to be mentioned again.

In the praise of the village chief and others, the village chief arranged for several villagers to divide the wild boar in the village square, set up two large pots, and stew half of the wild boar and the harre, as well as the cabbage and vermicelli together. In that era when meat was not necessarily eaten during the Chinese New Year, such a feast was not necessarily available to ordinary people, and the children of the whole village looked at the wild boar meat tumbling in the pot with drooling eyes on the side. As it gets late, a bonfire has been set up in the center of the village square with larger firewood, and as the flames rise, the villagers begin to rejoice. In the hot entertainment, everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, so everyone drank and made a fuss until late, dragging fatigue and alcohol, and slept in various postures.

That night, when the villagers and intellectuals were eating Haisai in the village square, a shadow appeared in the house of the former blind man in the east of the village......
