Chapter 41: Three forks

At a glance, the red lacquered wood cabinet, cuboidal, half a person high, three meters long, sits under the back window and leans against the three walls, its vertical skin has peeled off, speckled and old, covered with thick dust, obviously no one has lived in it for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There is no other furnishings except for the wooden cabinet, the kang under the windowsill is not furnished, the house is an old house, the green bricks have been eroded by time and some blackened, the tiles of the eaves are incomplete, and many of them are broken and fall on the ground.

The dark wooden door was unlocked, and it should have been pushed to get in, but when I pushed it hard, the shaking door panel bounced back, and a wooden stick was pinned in the crack of the door!

It's clear that someone has entered it! But there is no sound inside, could it be said that there is a secret room inside?

Qingtian and Bairi were also bold, took out the dagger purchased on the road from the backpack, and then pulled out the daggard and used the blade to move the wooden stick, without much effort, the wooden stick was dialed to the side of the door panel, because the wooden stick was held in an uneven position, one end was tilted.

This time, the door panel was pushed and opened in response to the sound, and the morning sun immediately added a little warmth when it entered the bleak and cold middle house, and there were stoves on both sides, and it was indispensable to make a fire for cooking.

Before I crossed the threshold, the potholed ground was full of blood trailing out, and I thought to myself, isn't it true that the few corpses in the walls of this courtyard are not converged by our comrades?

I asked Sun Wentao next to me, and he replied that he couldn't tell him clearly, and he didn't seem to tell us that his comrades broke down the door and collected the corpses, and he was too busy at that time to ignore the fact that there were corpses in the courtyard walls.

As soon as he said this, I also threw this stubble out of the clouds, so that the five cultists killed by me and Sun Wentao were all moved into this house.

I looked at the bloodstains until the stove on the right, so the body was moved to the stove!

How did you get in? When I entered the threshold, I lifted the lid of the pot and saw a rusty pot with finger prints printed on the edge.

That's too obvious, isn't it? Or are they not yet in time to deal with it?

Someone must be under the rusty cauldron, but I wonder why they didn't clean it up last night.

Is it the reason for the night? Even under the pitch dark, the torch flashlight can't be handled well, so I have to understand it this way first.

When I was about to move the rusty cauldron, Sun Wentao on the side was breathing heavily, and he was holding a gun and staring closely at the cauldron.

His nervousness was understandable, and it would have been glorious if the swarthy muzzle of the gun had swooped at the two of us as I moved the cauldron away.

Before moving out, I said to Sun Wentao, "How is it?" You ready? ”

He took a deep breath and nodded, and then I grabbed both ends of the pot with both hands, and dodged the cauldron to the side with a fierce force!

Sun Wentao didn't move, which reassured me, and after putting the cauldron on the ground, he turned around and looked at the stove, the pot was gone, revealing its original face.

Inside the stove! There is a staircase that slopes down, and if you go down, you have to look up and nod slightly, and if you go down on your stomach, you won't have to bother with your head.

There were some undried blood stains under the stairs, and if they stepped on them, they would have been slippery, and they didn't have time to deal with them, thinking that there must be something urgent to delay.

If that's the case, the two of us don't have to worry too much about them turning back for a while.

When he got off the stove first, Sun Wentao put away the gun and followed, slipping cautiously, the more the light got darker below.

A flashlight is inevitable, and they had already planned before they came, and if this house was their stronghold, there would probably be a secret room or a passage or something.

Turn on the flashlight and shine on the stairs under your feet, the stairs are not long, there are about twenty of them, and below is the passage dug out by hand, the ground is not very smooth, the potholes, the four walls are also uneven, you can see how bad their work is.

Fortunately, it can accommodate two people walking side by side, I took a flashlight and Sun Wentao held a gun, and walked for a long time with the blood marks in the passage, and a three-way intersection appeared in front of the flashlight.

When I saw the three-way intersection, I felt that it was very complicated, and there might be a huge secret hidden in a certain passage, and if I made a mistake, it might be a catastrophe! With this in mind, it's hard to make a choice no matter which path you take.

I could have followed the bloodstains, but there were bloodstains in all three forks, which made me think that cultists didn't have to deliberately deal with the bloodstains left in the room above, and that's why.

Yes, these three forks discourage me and Sun Wentao, and each passage seems to be the same, and they all reveal a suffocating mystery.

At this moment, we need to guide the way, otherwise we really don't dare to enter easily.

I thought of a very good way to take some risks, if only one of these three passages is harmless, then just squat here and wait for someone to come out, so that you can know the answer!

When I talked to Sun Wentao, he very much disagreed with my idea, because he thought that if he was discovered, he would not even have a chance to go out and report the news.

Probably because I was stubborn, I insisted on this, and said to him this way, Wen Tao, you go out to report the news, and I am squatting here, I believe that with my keen insight, I will not be discovered.

When Sun Wentao saw me like this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "You have to promise that you won't be allowed to act alone until we are here."

"Of course, my purpose here is to figure out which passage is clear."

Sun Wentao turned on the flashlight and returned the same way, and he suddenly felt a little lonely when he walked away.

Shaking his head vigorously to shake off these emotions, he first chose a passage to enter the entrance of the passage, then turned off the flashlight, and waited quietly with his back against the wall of the cave at the mouth of the passage.

It takes patience to stay put, and not only that, but also to keep an eye out for which passage is making a sound, and if there is a sound coming from the third (from left to right) passage where I am standing, then I need to leave here immediately and go to one of the other two passages to hide myself from detection.

At a certain time, I stayed for a long time, and the three passages did not make even the slightest sound, looking into the deep and dark passage, I felt that it was infiltrating!

I wish I could turn on my flashlight and see when the time is up for my watch? But I'm worried that as soon as I turn on the flashlight, if someone happens to come out in the depths of the passage and find me, won't all my efforts be wasted after squatting for so long!

Maybe I don't have to wait any longer, but the passage I'm in is flooded with a gust of wind, and it won't be there for a while.

Does this mean that someone is coming? But who would come with a gust of wind? Can it be understood as someone with a unique style - the wind comes first, know the person!
