Chapter 15: The Soul Legacy
(I saw a post today, some fans think the first volume is very good, what do you say about the second volume, it feels collapsed, and the plot is out of tune - you have to say this, the first volume, when you read the first twenty or thirty chapters, can you know the whole situation in the back?) This is not the idea of this book, in other words, every volume, if you don't see the back, you won't understand what's going on, suspense, yes, suspense!
I didn't want to spoil it, but I can't help it, to put it simply, this book is actually two volumes with a structure, and the stalks left by one volume will be gradually, completely, and clearly unfolded in the second volume, and even ended... All I can say is be patient, and finish the second volume as I did when I read the first volume. )
I stood at the door and watched, quietly withdrew, and told Kansai to stay outside and guard, and I went to check the mountain case one by one - at this time, Kansai was clever, nodded and immediately hid by the door, extremely vigilant, I don't know if it was practiced with Mao's slanted eyes.
I returned again, cautiously approaching the case of the mountain, on guard, and gently picked it with the crowbar in my hand... I had just opened a section, and there was a buzzing sound, and a large number of flies pounced from under the mountain case, and I took a few steps back, slapping my hands indiscriminately, and finally dispersed the flies.
At this moment, I already knew in my heart: there is something down there!
When the flies dispersed, I used a crowbar again to pry the red cloth open, and only then did I lift half of it, and a miserable white face was revealed!
A bleak, oozing white!
It's like a white wall, and it's like a new white paper, without any color!
No blood, no corpse spots, no other color, just white! White!
It's as white as a nightmare! It's so white that it makes people's hearts chill!
I've seen a little bit of the world - if I see a lot of corpses, then I've been eye-opening lately - so I reacted quickly after the initial startles. Beckoned Kansai to come over and help drag the body out from under the mountain case.
At the same time, I quickly went and turned over the red cloth curtains of the other two mountain cases, and there was nothing on the left, but there was actually an uncovered wooden board under the mountain case on the right, revealing a black hole, three feet square. It's like the entrance to a cellar.
This is not the time to panic, so I am not in a hurry, and I went to check the body first.
The deceased was an old man, in his sixties, and it seemed that he should be the Miao family guarding the ancestral hall. The last time he used his phone was 10 o'clock in the morning, and the time of death should have been between 10 o'clock and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but judging by the softness of the corpse, I estimate that the time of death would not have been more than an hour, or even less!
So to speak. Maybe the murderer, that is, the woman mentioned on the phone, is still there, and the most likely hiding place is in the underground cave!
I asked Kansai to go to the car to get two flashlights, and at the same time took out the phone and dialed Lao Xie again, reporting the case and leaving myself clear by the way - Lao Xie didn't believe me at first and felt unsafe talking, but at this moment he completely woke up and asked me if the corpse had any connection with the phone call at the beginning, and the matter had come to this point. I could only say a few words, and he immediately said that he was ready to bring someone over in person.
He said the same thing: Let me be sure to wait until he arrives before acting!
You said. How can I wait for him with such a big ability, they don't know anything other than shooting, and it's in the way when they come, not to mention that I haven't remembered yet: I must speed up, I can't let these guys do bad things for me!
Without further ado. As soon as Kansai took out the flashlight, the two of us immediately got to work.
There is no ready-made ladder under the entrance of the cave, but a wooden ladder, which seems to have been nailed up with solid wood for some years. Very sturdy. Going down the ladder felt like entering a tomb, but when I went down, I found that there were no coffins or traces in the tomb, just a basement, some of which seemed to be naturally generated, but the ancestors of the Miao family found it to repair it, and went up to repair the ancestral hall as a place to take refuge or hide things.
The height of the stone cave is about the same as the current commercial house, more than three meters less than four meters, after going down the ladder, it is first a corridor four or five meters long, more than three meters wide, the mottled wall is painted with some strange paintings, I don't understand it, some of the damaged places expose the blue bricks of the base, and the end is also a green brick, but there is a railing iron door on it, thick and firm, the shaft of the iron door is deeply embedded in the brick, the lock is huge, and it is estimated that no one can get it open after locking.
I thought about it and asked Kansai to stay here, firstly, to prevent someone from damaging us from above, and secondly, to prevent people from sneaking in and locking us inside.
After pushing open the iron door and entering, the stone chamber was impressively cheerful, revealing a huge stone chamber in the shape of a long strip, more than ten meters wide and nearly a basketball court in length. In the middle of the stone chamber, every few meters, there is a huge stone pillar made of blue bricks, supported by a dome; There are many stone chambers on both sides, and there are also doors in the doorway, some of which are still locked, and some of which are already open.
At the deepest point is a curved archway, like a corridor that continues forward.
My original intention immediately changed: this place can also be used for hiding, but I think the main thing should be a prison cell, right? Moreover, it should be a lynching cell belonging to the family, where certain disobedient people are imprisoned, tortured and even killed!
The flashlight shone at the nearest stone room, and I immediately found a pile of things, and although I had a lot of experience, I was still deeply shocked by the scene in front of me!
This is a dried corpse, although it has been dead for a long time, and the corpse has been completely dried, but I can still see the traces of torture from the corpse, after all, a limb is all broken, twisted and wrapped around the torso, the facial features on the face are finely cut, the scalp is peeled off, and even the skull is carefully opened to reveal the brain, and the torso is filled with countless large and small bamboo sticks, the corpse will definitely not die normally!
The eyelids were exposed, and although they were dry, I still felt that he was staring at me, and a strong hatred that could not be dissolved like a sea of hell and blood, and the curse on the entire Miao family rose from the bottom of my heart, making me tremble deeply!
What did these people from the Miao family do?!
At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw the flashlight moving in the darkness that did not shine, and there was a faint ball of light that seemed to be jumping brightly and darkly, and I turned around suddenly, only to feel that there was a flower in front of me, and the thing had gone straight into my forehead!
Worst...
That's the last thought I remember!
……
In a trance, I felt like I had become a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Sitting on a slowly moving ox cart, slowly moving forward from a distance, although the sky was dark and the road was far away, my heart was happy and happy, because I was finally bought from a home that could not have enough food for a year. I bought this famous family as a maid in a hundred miles, although I was only a maid, but I could finally have food and clothes to wear.
The bullock cart finally stopped, and I woke up from my dream to find a huge house in front of me, and the coachman was respectfully saluting the old man. Although his face looked majestic, it looked like a gentleman, and I couldn't help but wonder if the lord would like me. Will my grandmother beat me, will I be kicked away because things are not done...
"Bring her in." As soon as the old man spoke, the coachman came back and took me off the car in a rough way, but I was still very grateful in my heart, and was about to bow to him in thanks, when the coachman quickly returned to the position where he was driving, and turned the head of the car to drive into the distance.
Look at the ox cart and go away. I suddenly felt helpless and hopeless, but I immediately came to my senses. This is a precious opportunity, I must be a good maid, so that I can stay at home, so that I can have enough food, maybe... Maybe I can still be a roommate for the young master, so... That's great...
It was at this time. A few people from the master's side came over, all of them were strong men in black clothes, and they didn't say a word, they picked me up and went inside, I wanted to tell them. I won't run, I'll work honestly, but I didn't dare to speak, I was afraid that the old man would hate me, so I could only bite my lip and let them drag me in.
The big house looked very beautiful, but when I entered, I found that the room was very cold and very silent, and some people stood on both sides and looked at me, and they didn't speak, and they had a very strange look in their eyes, which I couldn't read, and I didn't know what they wanted or what they wanted me to do.
Is this really the place I'm going to be? Is it the coachman's mouth that the Miao family, which is famous for charity and is very good people?
I do not know!
They took me into a big house, where there were paintings on the walls, and there were spiritual tablets against the walls, and there were candles and wax in front of me, and there was so much smoke that I couldn't see anything, but I felt that the eyes of the person in the painting were always looking at me, staring at me, and I was so scared!
I closed my eyes tightly, and I felt like I was being picked up and put in a basket, and then slowly lowered downward, and by the time I opened my eyes, I was outside a stone house, and many eyes were looking at me in the railing, like a wolf I had seen in the mountains!
My mind went blank and I didn't know anything until someone pushed me into the railing - I turned around and banged on the iron door as hard as I could, but all I saw were these people going up the ladder, up and up, until they disappeared above my head, and then the lid fell, and all the scenery outside was gone, except for the light of the torches burning in the stone house!
A couple of hands reached up to me from behind, grabbed my hair and tore my clothes, I struggled desperately, desperately trying to get out, but their strength was so great that I couldn't escape from them until they dragged me in...
On this day, three men possessed me, many times, many times...
But it wasn't over yet, the next day, I was too tired to move, and they sent me to another room, where there were more men... My body was covered with bloody tooth marks and purple-black blue, my right hand was broken, and every finger of my left hand was crushed... I remember that the person who crushed my finger was like a madman, he wanted to hear me cry, he wanted to hear me scream, and I couldn't cry, so he crushed one of my fingers...
I don't know how long I cried, I don't know...
On the third day I can't remember exactly, when I woke up I was alone in a room, the smell of dead people everywhere, I was in pain all over my body, I couldn't get up, I was in so much pain... I'm in so much pain...
The fourth day was my last, and I don't know who bit off my right RU head, but I didn't cry or make a fuss because I couldn't cry anymore when my right eye was gouged out... They bit my tongue off...
Is this the Miao family? Is this happiness?
Is that why they bought me?
Why did they do this to me, why...
It's cold...
It's so dark...
I want to go home, I want to go home... I think... Return... Return... Family...
