As soon as Lao Yang said this, I immediately jumped up in shock:

"What an international joke! My grandfather? My grandfather is long dead......"

I don't know much about my grandfather, and I don't know much about my grandfather since I was a child, except that my family didn't live in the village they are in now, but moved from my father's and my uncle's generation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info my hometown originally lived in a remote mountainous area called Wanjiang Town, where all the Miao people lived, my family itself is also Miao people, in the Miao people Longma Wu Shiliao five surnames ranked first, is the soil of the Miao people. When my father and uncle were young, in order to improve their living standards, they moved their families to a Han village not far from the county seat. Therefore, in my family, I usually speak in Chinese, and my father never taught me Miao language, and in my generation, I don't speak Miao at all, except for the difference in blood, I am actually no different from the Han people.

As for my grandfather, I only heard my father mention it occasionally, and when he said it, his tone was full of contempt, saying that he did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father, and when my father and uncle were still young, they abandoned their families and children, and went to the mountains to join the bandits.

But when it comes to bandits, there really seems to be a connection, and I thought I'd get something out of my dad's mouth when I got back. It is impossible for him to be ignorant of my grandfather's affairs, probably because my grandfather was a bandit, and if it spreads in the village, my father will not be able to hang his face, so he will hide something from me.

I was secretly thinking about it, and Lao Yang said again:

"Whether you believe it or not, that's the case anyway, your grandfather told me personally. He told me that when he was young, his family was so poor that he could not even eat, but later he got married, had two children, and separated from many of his siblings. He actually has his own hardships, in order to have food for his wife and children, he had no choice but to join Wu Yunfei's team, and by chance, he had some relationships with Zhang Tianshi.

"Still, he told me that since he was trapped in that vaulted cavern, he had lost even his gut. He waited in the cave for three days and three nights, until all the dry food he had brought with him was eaten, and he didn't see Zhang Tianshi come out of it, so he wondered if something was wrong. But that Heavenly Master was too suspicious, so he didn't leave any torches or other lighting tools for your grandfather, and he wanted to go in to check the situation, but he was only weak. In those decades, he didn't know how to live himself, he went crazy, he thought about suicide, and he tried all kinds of ways to escape from the shaft overhead, but he didn't succeed.

He survived, learned all sorts of survival techniques and ways to find food, and lived like a walking corpse in the cave, day after day, year after year. Until one day, he stumbled upon a small sapling growing in the soil layer of the cave, and he didn't think much about it at the time, but after a few days, he thought that if the little sapling grew into a towering tree and reached the height of the top of the cave, wouldn't he be able to climb out of the tree. At first, he didn't have much hope, but although the hope was small, it was better than nothing, so he took good care of the little sapling every day, and after a few years, the little sapling miraculously grew in a small amount of sunlight, and grew higher and higher. The flame of hope in his heart grew bigger and bigger, and he paid more attention to the growth of the tree. However, although the cave was well watered, sunlight was very limited, and the tree grew very slowly until decades later.

Eventually, the tree died, and all hope was lost. Your grandfather thought about cutting himself off at the time, but I stopped him, and I told him that I had a way to get out. You know, we were not far from the underground river, and the river was connected to the creek outside, so occasionally some of the rags that were thrown in the upper stream washed down the flood. I had a whim, and I thought of collecting these rags and making them into a lot of tiny ropes, and then catching some bats, domesticating them, and tying them around the legs of the bats, and when the bats reached a certain number, enough to support my weight, wouldn't I be able to fly to the position of the shaft? ”

When Lao Yang said this, he probably saw my look of disbelief and thought that I didn't believe him, so he stopped. I hurriedly said to him:

"You said that this method works in theory, but it ...... actually operated."

Lao Yang waved his hand and asked me not to interject, just listen to him continue:

"Don't believe it, I really did that, at first I hit the bat on the top of the cave with a stone, and after it fell, if it didn't die, I kept it. I tied their feet with ropes, fed them fish, and day after day, over the years, I collected a large number of bats, almost enough for me to pull the rope and let them take me out. Later, I tried it once, but I regretted to find that these bats that I domesticated no longer have the desire to fly out of the cave to hunt. I thought of a way to starve them for a while, and sure enough, after they were very hungry, they really flew up in the direction of the shaft, and I was taken by them, and I also escaped. It may seem so unreal, like something that only appeared in cartoons when I was a kid, but I did it, and you can't deny it, because I'm already alive in front of you. ”

I listened to Lao Yang's narration, and at first I thought he was crazy and talking nonsense, but the more he said it, the more I believed it. For I really can't think of any other way to escape from such a high place than the method he spoke of. But Lao Yang seems to have forgotten to explain one thing, where did my grandfather (if the old man in his mouth was really my grandfather) go, is he still trapped in the cave? Since Lao Yang escaped alive, he should go to find a rope to pull my grandfather up as soon as possible.

Lao Yang seemed to understand my thoughts, so he said to me:

"Did you know that there is a glowing creature inside the cave? I don't know what their scientific names are, but they are like fireflies, their tail organs are capable of emitting a touch of blue light, and in bandit caves, there are many such bugs. At that time, your grandfather had no hope of escaping alive, and thought my idea was simply naïve. Half a month before I was about to escape, he picked up an empty bottle of mineral water in the underground river, filled the bottle with that kind of cave firefly, and said that he wanted to use that thing as a torch and go to the depths of the cave to see what was going on, but it had plagued him for decades. I tried to talk about it, but I couldn't stop him, so I had to let him in alone. (To be continued.) )
