Chapter 53: Human Skin
Lei Lao Wu looked at me: "What kind of self-help method?" Don't expect to dig a hole out. ”
I said, "yes, just dig a hole and get out." ”
"Where are you?" Lei Lao Wu said: "There are stones around here, and you are very good at digging three meters a year." But I suspect we won't survive for three days, and I'm hungry right now. ”
"Ho, ho!"
The stone on the top moved, and then something was thrown down by Wang Zhengtai.
"It's over, it's over." Lei Lao Wu shouted: "He is going to stone us to death." ”
Lei Lao Wu and I immediately stood close to Ishii, so that the possibility of being hit would be much reduced.
Still, I was smashed, but I felt like the mass was soft, not rock.
I quickly crouched down and picked it up. It turned out to be a small baggage, and the baggage still contained food. Steamed buns, hot water, and even beef.
I thought to myself that he was going to use us both as servitude.
Lei Lao Wu was still worried that the food was poisonous, but seeing that I was about to finish the food, he couldn't resist the temptation and devoured it.
When I finished eating, I grabbed the hairpin and started to roll down the stone.
I vaguely felt that this hundred-year-old project must be digging something down.
Could it be my Soul Breaker Bell? I think it's still very likely.
I knocked the stone wall, and the sound below seemed to be empty.
I'm overjoyed, it seems that as long as we dig down, it won't be long before we can dig through.
It's just that in the middle of a mountain wall, how can it be hollow?
In this way, Lei Lao Wu and I took turns digging the mountain, and every day when the time came, Wang Zhengtai would throw down food and water.
In this dark place, there is no concept of time at all. I don't know how many days have passed, but I'm sure it's going to be at least a little over a month.
Lei Lao Wu gave up countless times in it, and I had to slap him a few times to make him sober. After waking up, cry for a while before working.
I can also understand Lei Lao Wu, after all, he has fallen to this point from a romantic young man, and this pressure is not something he can bear.
If I hadn't been with him, I guess he would have committed suicide a long time ago.
During this period, some things also happened above, Jiuli sent people to come, and Wang Zhengtai had several life and death battles. But the result was undoubtedly forced by him.
Each time he would leave a live mouth and ask the person for the time. After asking the time, I threw it down as usual.
Probably because he felt shameless, he never asked us the time.
Originally, I also wanted to forcibly sue him for a wrong time, to make him insane or something. But on second thought, forget it, if he is insane, he may stone us to death, not to mention that we can now eat and drink and live with him.
During this time, I was working and thinking about what had happened during this time. What is that big face out there for? How could this grandson lie in the coffin of the Nine Dragons? And the unlucky ones who came down before, what did they go through, how did they die so miserably?
If there's anyone else here, where the hell is that guy hiding?
But I was about to think about it, and there were countless speculations and assumptions, but they all defied logic, so I had to stop thinking nonsense.
About the twentieth day, Lei Lao Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore, had a high fever, and lost his ability to work.
I suddenly thought of a good way, otherwise I would treat Lei Lao Wu as a dead man, and let Wang Zhengtai drag Lei Lao Wu up. In this way, Lei Lao Wu will have a chance to save me?
However, when I told Wang Zhengtai about Lei Lao Wu's "exhaustion to death", Wang Zhengtai ignored me, and it seems that my cleverness does not work in front of him.
A month later, I also developed a mental illness of Yan zhòng, and I always felt as if I had experienced it.
A few years ago, or decades ago, I seemed to have been forced down this weird cave by the Jiuli people, and then it was Wang Zhengtai who rescued me and blew open this closed cave with a detonator.
In the end, Wang Zhengtai betrayed us, locked us down, and let the two of us dig stones.
I've worked here all my life, and I'm exhausted......
I joked to myself, could it be that I was "trapped" in a permanent cycle, and once I died, I would start again, be forced into the hole by Jiuli again, and then Wang Zhengtai would calculate the two of us, dig a stone well, and then die again......
Once I pretended to be dead and was rescued by Wang Zhengtai, and then found an opportunity to secretly carve the stone to warn me of the next cycle......
If this hypothesis exists, it means that the bones outside are mine and Lei Lao Wu.
I suddenly remembered the other me and Wang Zhengtai who dragged the two of us down, could it be that they are not us in another cycle?
But in the end, I think it's too fucked up, and I'm also forced into a nervous mind.
After about ten days, Lei Lao Wu's illness finally recovered. During this time, I was tired, and my palms were grinding out a thick layer of calluses, so I asked Lei Lao Wu to make stones.
Unexpectedly, it was just one day, and Lei Lao Wu excitedly told me that he had dug through.
I stared wide-eyed, and sure enough, Lei Lao Wu dug a hole at the bottom, and a faint cold wind came from the hole.
"Haha, I dug it through. Liu Yang, I saved your life. You have to repay it when you go out. ”
Rub, this is really shameless.
With hope, we both have a lot of energy. However, I don't want Wang Zhengtai to know about the digging through, because I am worried that we will do anything excessive after digging through.
I was careful to tell Lei Lao Wu about my thoughts, and Lei Lao Wu agreed. We carefully enlarged the small hole, and finally expanded the size of the hole that only one person could drill into, so that when we looked down from above, we thought that it had not been dug through.
I was so excited to see what was down here.
I was the first to get in, but I didn't expect that there was still a lot of space underneath, and there was a quiet wind blowing, which meant that the place we were was leading to the outside world, and we could escape.
However, because it was pitch black below, we couldn't see anything, and the lighting equipment in our hands was collected by Wang Zhengtai.
I wonder how we can ask Wang Zhengtai for a flashlight.
I estimated the time, and now it's almost time for Wang Zhengtai to deliver us food. So Lei Lao Wu and I climbed up again, covered the hole with our bodies, and waited quietly for Wang Zhengtai to bring us food.
Sure enough, it didn't take much effort to move the stone on the top, and then Wang Zhengtai dropped food for us as usual.
I took the opportunity to speak: "Wang Zhengtai, can you give us a flashlight?" It's too dark down here, and it affects our construction. ”
But the thing, as usual, didn't say a word, like a dumb man.
I had no choice but to give up, ready to fill my stomach first.
Lei Lao Wu was already hungry, so he opened the baggage, grabbed it and prepared to stuff it into his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Lei Lao Wu hadn't started eating yet, and he screamed.
"You call a yarn." I cursed impatiently.
"What the hell is this?" Wang Zhengtai scolded.
The light below was very faint, and I could only dimly see that it was a mass of things stacked on top of each other, and the skin was very smooth, and it looked like raw meat.
And next to the "raw meat", there is actually a flashlight. I got nervous.
He sent us a flashlight at this time, did he know that we had dug through? This guy is really powerful.
I grabbed my flashlight and it was still usable. The light drove out the darkness, and we both felt much more at ease.
But then, our peace of mind turned to fear.
Because the one who had been wrapped in the bag was not food, but a human skin.
A human skin ...... How can it be a human skin? Why did Wang Zhengtai throw us a human skin!
Lei Lao Wu and I looked at each other, not knowing what Wang Zhengtai meant.
"This human skin...... Can you eat it? Lei Lao Wu asked.
"You're crazy hungry." I saw that Lei Lao Wu actually grabbed the human skin with his hand, so he kicked him: "You can't eat it." ”
Lei Lao Wu said: "I just want to see whose human skin it is." ”
I'm also quite puzzled, this human skin still looks fresh, isn't it the human skin of the Jiuli people who just peeled off?
The last time we came down, there was indeed a human skin. But the skin must have broken after a month.
