Chapter 140: Leather Bed White Bones
It is an arched passage.
The torch in his hand didn't shine far, and where the light arrived, he vaguely saw that it was a bluestone slab laid out.
The distance of the music was closer than it had just been.
Yu Qi retracted his steps, stood still, paused for a while, and walked slowly in the direction of the music. After walking for a while, I felt that I couldn't walk to the end, and I was scared, and I looked behind me from time to time.
At this moment, looking at the road behind him, it was pitch black. She had an idea: go back!
However, she gritted her teeth and insisted: go! Go through this trail! Look at what lies ahead, and who is the man blowing leaves! Big deal, die! Now, if you go back, you can't get out, and there are snakes waiting to eat people!
Keep going.
About the end of the day, I heard the sound of dripping water.
Perhaps, it was her nervous wheezing that alarmed the person who was blowing the leaves, and the music suddenly stopped.
For the rest of the day, there was only the quiet sound of dripping water.
Yu Qi held his breath, opened his eyes wide, and raised his torch to shine around. I took a look around and I got a sense of where I was. It feels like a big room, but it doesn't feel like a stalactite hanging down from the roof of the big house.
It is said to be a big house, because the ground is covered with large stone slabs, and there are walls, just like the blue bricks outside.
If it weren't for the limited light, you would be able to see it clearly. It's a big house, it's just her speculation.
Yu Qi wanted to open his mouth and ask the person who blew the leaves a few words, but think about it, it's not appropriate! What if it's the third wife, and she runs in recklessly, she can't add a layer of sin? It was also said that she was afraid of punishment and ran away.
Let's find out if there is a way out first, and then escape and go back to Shizhai.
As I walked along the stone path, I didn't know where I had reached, the echo of the water droplets was clearer than it had just been, and I could hear the sound of trickling water.
When she heard the sound of water, she suddenly felt her throat dry and very thirsty. I looked around in the light of the torch, and sure enough, I saw a dark stream, and the water was rushing from among the stalactites, and I didn't know where the source of the water was, and where it was going at this moment.
She rested her torch on the edge of the stalactite, then squatted down by the stream, and ate with water in her hand. The water was as if it had melted out of the snow, and it was very thirst-quenching and tingy to eat, with a hint of sweetness.
She thought: Isn't there water in the mirror flower Xie Midao? Presumably all the way. Maybe the water is the source, or perhaps, the water flows to the mirror.
Thinking about this, I was a little difficult. Do you go with the water, or do you walk against the current?
At the moment, I saw some stones next to the stalactites, which were nothing more than black and white. The white ones are like jade, and the black ones are like charcoal. She grabbed a few, and thought to herself: catch more black, go with the water, catch more white, go against the current!
When I spread out my palms, the stones I caught were much darker.
She smiled and said to herself in her heart: "Providence let me leave with the water, then I will go with the water!" Smooth and smooth! ”
But is it really going well?
No!
Going down the waterway, it didn't go well. Because, after not going far, I saw white bones on the ground. All of them are worn by women. Ten steps to a frame, about a dozen corpse bones.
It's impossible to say that you weren't frightened. Yu Qi's scalp was numb, but she still insisted on moving forward, and when she saw the white bones, she squinted her eyes and tried not to look. It's just so coincidental that the more you taboo it, the more it will turn against you.
As he walked, he suddenly stepped on something and heard a "click" breaking sound. She opened her eyes and looked down, and there was a pile of white bones under her feet!
Yu Qi couldn't help but scream, and hurriedly jumped out of the pile of bones.
Before she could calm down, she heard a cough.
It was a series of muffled coughs.
Frightened, Yu Qi raised a torch, shook it around, and said loudly: "Who is it?" Who is it? ”
No one answered, still hearing coughing.
I asked a few more questions, but no one answered. Yu Qi thought, "Maybe it's a cough coming from outside." ”
Since it's outside, follow the cough and you'll find the exit.
But her calculation was wrong, and going forward was not an exit. The coughing sound could be heard, and the wind was coming from that side, and over there, there was another world. When she got to the front, she saw a flash of sky shining from the top, and a pile of snakeskins on the ground.
She didn't have time to find out where the sky was, or to speculate if there was a snake in the snakeskin, because she saw a person lying on the snakeskin.
The clothes, the tall, short, fat and thin, feel like three joys!
Yu Qi thought that he had seen something wrong, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and slowly moved forward, standing on a high place. Stand on top and look at the pile of snakeskins.
Condescending, see clearly!
It is indeed a triumvirate.
Why is Sanxi here? Is this the realm of Beifu? Is it the Cao family who locked up Sanxi here? Why did Sanxi lie motionless on the snakeskin?
Yu Qi had to think that Sanxi was killed, maybe he was dead.
She grinned and wept, and running toward the snakeskin pile, not knowing if there was any danger ahead. Nearly Sanxi came to her, and Yu Li stared at her deadly.
Sanxi was still wearing the clothes of that day, but she was scratched like a beggar, her hair was messy, and there were no hairpins left on her hairpin, the key was that her face and hands were scarred.
Yu Qi knelt down, stretched out his hand, and gently pushed and pulled Sanxi: "Sanxi!" It's me! Three happy you wake up. ”
Yu Qi cried.
Sanxi didn't respond, as if dead.
Yu Qi tried to calm himself, trying to reach out his trembling hand to probe Sanxi's snort and pulse.
Snort, still breathing, feeling the pulse, the pulse beating.
Yu Qi was overjoyed, quickly knelt down, and thanked Tianguang for worshipping: "Thank God for leaving three joys and one life." Thank God for the virtue of a good life. ”
Crying, laughing, laughing, finished, to help Sanxi out of the snakeskin pile.
At that moment, the voice of "Sisi" was heard.
It's a swarm of snakes!
Yu Qi immediately put down Sanxi, grabbed the torch tightly, and said angrily to the surroundings: "No matter what kind of poisonous snake you are, I have fire, you dare to come, I will burn you to death, and then eat up your snake meat!" Burn all your skins! ”
Tone stop.
A strange sneer suddenly sounded all around the pitch black.
The laughter was hoarse, low, exactly like the cough.
The person who made the sneer laughed for a while, and then said, "The ability is not small!" Break in and burn my snake? Your guts are soaked in poisonous juice? Want to be more vicious than a snake? ”
It was the voice of the white-haired ghost mother.
Yu Qi didn't hear it at first, and was terrified. When he heard that it was the voice of the white-haired ghost mother, Yu Qi said excitedly: "Is it the ghost mother?" It's me! It's me! "Like a savior.
In the blink of an eye, I saw the ghost mother coming out of the darkness. Her white hair was like silver snow, hanging down to the ground, shining in Yu Qi's eyes. Not an old acquaintance?
Yu Qi cried with joy, wanting to climb the old, wanting to please, but afraid of snakes outside.
At this time, the ghost mother said, "Listen to the voice, are you that girl?" Is that the girl who is locked up with me? ”
Yu Qi nodded fiercely and promised: "It's me, it's me!" Ghost Mother, it's me! Why don't you recognize my voice? ”
The ghost mother said, "What are you doing here when you don't come here in Jinghua Xie?" ”
Yu Qi suddenly thought that he was separated from the ghost mother that time, and he told her that he lived in Jinghuaxie. At that time, the ghost mother said that she wanted to find a way to meet her, but she didn't expect to meet her here.
Yu Qi didn't reply to the ghost mother's words, but was very anxious, and beckoned the ghost mother over with great concern, saying, "Come over quickly, I have a torch." There are a lot of venomous snakes here, be careful they bite you. ”
The ghost mother smiled: "That's the snake I raised, why did you bite me?" ”
After speaking, the ghost mother shook her sleeves, revealing a pair of skeleton hands, and raised them to her lips with a slight tremble. Under the light, Yu Qi could see clearly, the ghost mother had a leaf in her hands.
As she landed, the sound of music came from the Ghost Mother's lips.
Oh! I see! Yu Qi's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly begged the ghost mother: "It turns out that your music has taken the snake away!" Can they understand you? That's great! Then help me drive the snakes away, they want my life! You see, my friend is lying in a snakeskin! I'm going to take her out! ”
The ghost mother smiled: "You are so forgetful at such a young age. I'm blind! What are you asking me to see? I thought to myself, are you blind too? Where is there any snakeskin, not a rich bed of gold and silver? ”
Yu Qi was puzzled, but he didn't talk back.
The ghost mother said again: "You help me see, is the girl sleeping on it awake?" ”
Yu Qi shook his head and said, "I didn't wake up!" He added, "This is my sister." But the ghost mother brought her in? ”
The ghost mother snorted fiercely and said, "I don't have that much time to spare!" It's just that when I saw that her skin and flesh were still tender, and I didn't eat anything, I wanted to drag it in, and when I was so hungry that I didn't eat, I would eat her meat! ”
Yu Qi was frightened, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Ghost mother, my sister's meat is rough and not delicious, don't eat her!" You're so hungry, I'll go out and find you something to eat. ”
The ghost mother laughed, stopped laughing, her face suddenly distorted, became serious, and said, "Say!" How did you get in? The people from the Zhuang Mansion also came in with you? Did the thief betray me? ”
Yu Qi said: "No, no, no! I was the only one who came in. I stumbled and fell into a dry well, and I couldn't climb out, and I was afraid of snakes, so I ran in without a head or a brain. What is this place? ”
The ghost mother thought about Zi Yu's words for a while, and said: "This is the underground palace where the Zhuang Mansion contains a black heart!" The unsightly things are buried here. But don't even think about getting out when you come in. ”
Yu Qi said: "Are you going to lock me up too?" ”
The ghost mother smiled: "Guan? Why bother with you! This ghost place, I have lived for decades, and I often go wrong, you little girl, can you find a way out? Even if you find your way, you'll have to ask if my snake will let you go! ”
Yu Qi trembled all over, and said, "Ghost Mother, I really have no intention of coming in, and I have no intention of disturbing." I have no ill intentions. As long as you help me out, I will definitely repay you. Even if you don't help me, I will be grateful to you for bringing Sanxi back to me. ”
The ghost mother couldn't understand Yu Qi's words, and Yu Qi said sisters for a while, three joys for a while, retribution for a while, and gratitude for a while.
After Yu Qi finished speaking, he knelt down in the direction where the ghost mother was standing, kowtowed his head fiercely, and said, "That day, your old man said that he was coming to me, but I waited and waited, but I didn't see him." Today we meet again, which is fate. Now, I am depressed and suffering, there is no good thing in return, and I can only say one or two words to repay my gratitude, please believe me! One day he has the opportunity, and I will repay you. ”
The corners of the ghost mother's mouth were slightly torn apart, revealing her yellowed teeth, and she said, "Listen, you are still that affectionate girl." It's not bad! You tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Zhuangfu? And honestly, how did you get in? Don't lie to me, blind old woman! I'm blind in my eyes, but I'm not blind in my heart! If there is a lie, I let the vipers eat you! ”
Yu Qi continued to kowtow and said, "Everything I say to your old man is sincere, and there is no lie!" If I lie to you, I will die without a body, without a soul, and without a soul! ”
The ghost mother said: "Don't come and tell me these nonsense!" Come on! ”
The ghost mother sat down on the ground.
