Chapter 149: Finding the Secret Path in the Belly of the Mountain
"I'm afraid that someone from above will come down and harm them, even if they grow up, they will be cut down, I guess." Nian Nian was touching the moss on the stone wall, and she was so frightened that she withdrew her hand, and it turned out to be a slender and slender little flower snake that came out of the crack in the stone, and spit out letters to her to threaten her.
"Stay away, the snakes in this mountain may be poisonous!" I pulled Nian Nian over, away from the stone wall, this colorful flower snake looks like a poisonous snake, anyway, poisonous mushrooms are bright, in nature, the more bright and beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are, just like these originally extremely beautiful Tiannuzhai sisters.
They are industrious, brave, and the end of the world has not brought them a catastrophe, and the method of driving out corpses by being zombie scarecrows is enough to prove their intelligence, but their practice of imposing their own methods of keeping peace on other women is terrifying.
"The stone wall is steep and slippery, you can't climb it at all, and there are poisonous snakes in the cracks of the stones, Sister Duo, do we really want to be disfigured by them? I'm afraid, I, how can I see Brother Hong again......" Qin Xiaoman's voice was crying, the other two girls were not having a good time, it was a good year, and they were both newly married, and they were all scarred on their faces, and they must be very painful in the face of their handsome young husbands!
In their eyes, men in the Taiping era are fertility tools, and men are crazy beasts after the end of the world, anyway, there is no good person, and they refuse to believe that our men are good, insisting that we are blinded by beasts, and disfiguring us is the greatest salvation for us.
Heavens, earth! Isn't this theory too weird? I can't communicate with them at all!
Seeing that there was no hope of getting out of the valley and that time was pressing, a rush of fire came up, and a big blister formed on the tip of my tongue.
"Do they use cornices to walk on the walls when they go in and out of the valley? No, if you have that ability, you won't be afraid of foreign men. Besides, this stone wall is so steep and dangerous, even if they are good at climbing, they can't get the four of us big living people down. There must be a secret way out of the valley. I whispered as I stared at the dark hole in the sunlight.
"Moreover, the passage out of the valley is in the cave, so they can rest assured that the four of us will toss in the valley." Qin Xiaoman nodded.
The honeycomb hole in this mountain should be naturally formed, so it is normal for the mountain belly to have a passage to the outside world, and the more we studied, the more reliable we felt, so we pinned our hopes on that secret road that I didn't know where.
"Let's go, let's go back to the cave, pretend to wander around, and find the secret way out of the valley." We discussed and went back to the corridor where we had come out before, but the entrance to the corridor was still bright, but it was very dark when we looked inside, and we had no kerosene lamps in our hands, so we couldn't go deeper into the corridor.
"Sister, can you give us a lamp?" I grabbed a girl who had just popped out of the hole next to me, and I might have gotten used to it, and their scary scars weren't so scary.
Ah Mei looked at us quietly, did not answer, turned into the curtain, and after a while, brought a kerosene lamp to us, and then went back to her cave.
Actually, they're all good-natured, I thought.
Walking slowly in the corridor, from time to time a sister came out of her cave, passed by us, I don't know which sister to find, they saw us very calm, did not interfere, it seems that we are also free in the cave.
We quickly returned to the same cave where we had been blind before, it was pitch black, there seemed to be no one in it, we didn't plan to go in, and we could think with our toes that the secret passage out of the valley could not be in the cave of our hapless children.
As I continued to go deeper into the corridor, I became more and more frightened in my heart, such a large area, could it be that the belly of the entire mountain was hollow? It's rare that the women of this Tiannu Village can find such a place as a hiding place, not to mention those bad guys in the last days, even zombies will never invade here, it's too safe here, as long as there is no internal mutation, as long as there is a zombie here, biting everywhere in the dark, the sisters will die.
After walking a long way, the road was still not at the end, some of the holes on both sides were covered with curtains, and some of the holes were full of stones, and there should be no one living in them, except for these two kinds of holes, we did not see any place that looked like a passage.
"Why don't we go in one hole after another?" Nian Nian whispered.
It's only like this, I don't know how deep the road is, and it doesn't look like a head if it goes on like this, and the more you go inside, the fewer Ah Mei appears, somehow, we have a subconscious fear of the darkness in front of us, as if there is a giant snake with a big mouth in front of us, waiting for us to come over and devour us.
Standing in front of a cloth curtain, I only hesitated for a second before folding the curtain, the kerosene lamp shone in, there was no one inside, the four of us breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, we should ask politely, but we were afraid that Ah Mei would not let us in, so we simply came directly.
Entering the cave, I found that there was a long strip of boulder against the stone wall, covered with thick hay and sheets, and an embroidered pillow, obviously there was a sister living here, and I looked around again, except for some simple personal items, there was nothing left, this cave was narrow, smaller than the four of us living there, there was no secret way at all.
"Let's see another one." We got out of this cave, thought about it, and the direction was still towards the depths of the road, and there was no turning back.
I found a few more uninhabited caves with curtains, all of which were pretty much the same, but I didn't find the secret passage, and I didn't see anyone.
Standing in the corridor again, I found that there was silence all around, and I couldn't see a sister, and there seemed to be only four of us living in the belly of the whole mountain, which felt terrible!
But we had to be brave enough to continue to search for the depths of the road, and after walking for a short while, we found that there were fewer and fewer caves, and there were stone chips piled up at the mouth of the cave. Excitement suppressed fear, and our hearts were excited.
"How did you get here?" Grandma in the black coat's voice suddenly sounded in front of us, and the few of us were so nervous that we almost broke our nerves.
"We're ......on an expedition," I replied with my heart beating like a drum, and I couldn't tell us that we were looking for a secret way.
"You're finding your way to the valley, aren't you? It's a no-brainer, it's over, let's go back. Grandma in the black coat's voice was hoarse and low, listening to the gloom.
"Mother-in-law, this road can get out, right?" I wasn't sure that the secret passage was in the depths of the tunnel, because I passed by countless large and small holes, and the secret passage could be in any of them, but the sudden appearance of the black-clad mother-in-law here, and the fact that we were not allowed to continue forward, confirmed this.
"If you can go out and ruin your appearance, you'll know." The black-coated mother-in-law said calmly.
Our patience has come to an end, no matter what your good intentions are, you will play knives at us in the face over and over again, who is not irritable?
"The exit must be behind her, she's alone here, and she can't stop the four of us." Amy said coldly, this is also intimidating her mother-in-law, come hard, she is not an opponent alone.
Mother-in-law suddenly laughed, I had a sense of foreboding, and as soon as I wanted to remind the three little sisters, I smelled the familiar sweet fragrance, Ni, sister, come here again......
Woke up again, after being poured the herbs that we thought were grassy and cold water, our eyesight slowly recovered, the four of us were honest on the surface, but our hearts were like fire, we were probably very close to the secret road out of the valley, but we were on the way of the black-coated mother-in-law, no wonder the sisters ignored us walking in the direction of the passage out of the valley, they didn't worry about us being able to escape at all! They knew that Granny Black Coat was going to intercept us, and that Granny Black Coat had a drug called Sweet Grass on her, and she would be dizzy when she smelled it.
A few little sisters who were ruined by foreign men must not have this big killing weapon on them, otherwise it would be strange to be subjected to such a poisonous hand!
Looking at the mouth of the cave, there is no fence, there is no iron gate, and then look at us, there are no ropes and no shackles, but the four of us are trapped in this dark mountain belly, so that the sky is not spiritual, and the earth should not be.
The only hope is to be able to communicate with the black coat mother-in-law again, I hope she can be reasonable!
The black-coated mother-in-law seemed to care about us very much, personally came to deliver buns and drinking water, and gave us a piece of jerky, which tasted very fragrant, but a little strange, not pigs, cows and sheep, and asked her, saying that it was venison.
"Mother-in-law, we won't have any disrespectful thoughts about you anymore, but shall we talk again?" I slowly chewed down on the jerky, praised the taste of the jerky, and then entered the communication session again.
"Hehe, I'm very willing to chat, old woman, say."
"We forgot to tell you our identity, what kind of men and women are we talking about, in fact, we are a team sent by the Chengdu garrison base to find human survivors, well, do you know the garrison base? It is the survivor base that the national army is responsible for, that is to say, we are people sent by the state, we have guns, we have enough self-protection ability, and those men, they are also people of the country, they are not those bastards who take advantage of the chaos of the end times. "I don't know if this mother-in-law can understand this.
"Enough self-protection?" The black-robed mother-in-law smiled dumbly again, "Silly woman, even if we lure them out, we can take a few of you away with a little trick, and say that you can protect yourself, and when you meet those really bad people, you are not good at all." ”
The black-coated mother-in-law said that we have a fever on our faces, are they wrong? Absolutely! That's it!
In the final analysis, we underestimate the dangers out there, and some strange methods that we have not seen before, if it is not the Tiannüzhai people who have taken us captive, but those villains who also have this means, we will indeed be cups, as the black-coated mother-in-law said.
