Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Depths of the Mine
On the rope is a man with his hands hanging and tied, his upper body is naked, his body has long been dehydrated and shriveled, and he can no longer see the appearance before his death.
Zhang Xiuxiu looked at the woman in red beside her, and saw her smiling face, without the slightest sense of fear, and even a little perverted sense of achievement.
The two of them are both women, the contrast and color are bright, Zhang Xiuxiu shows the appearance that a woman should have, as for the mysterious woman in red, she doesn't need to say much, it is obviously different.
didn't say much, the woman in red continued to go down, Zhang Xiuxiu hurriedly followed, the slightly swaying dried corpse in the air made her shudder, how dare she take a few more glances alone, and even took the initiative to drag the woman in red's clothes, so that her heart was safer.
Regarding Zhang Xiuxiu's movements, the woman in red deliberately slowed down her steps, and a shallow smile appeared on her bewitching face.
In the subsequent descent after that, a dried corpse would be hung every other window, and the movements were different, different, especially the expression of despair and roar on the dry corpse, which was still fixed on the face until death, which was too terrifying.
After about a dozen floors, the original rotating stone staircase was gone, replaced by uneven ground. When I got out of the stone staircase passage, facing the brightly lit firelight, countless dried corpses hanging above my head looked like decorations on the top of the cave, which made people want to see but didn't dare to look at it.
The woman in red looked up at the dried corpses in the sky, and said softly, "Is it good-looking?"
seems to be talking to herself, Zhang Xiuxiu doesn't know how to answer the woman in red, and she can't say whether she looks good or not.
The woman in red caressed her face with both hands, her originally enchanting face revealed a touch of redness, gasping for breath, sweating, and even the corners of her mouth opened, and a breath of hot air emanated from her mouth, with a look of enjoyment.
"This is my best work of art, do you like it?" The woman in red ignored the soaked placket, and her slender jade fingers stretched out to Zhang Xiuxiu's cheek.
Zhang Xiuxiu listened to his words, instinctively dodged the outstretched palm, took two steps back, and opened a distance from the woman in red.
In the face of such an embarrassing scene, the woman in red did not get angry, stepped forward in understanding, and instantly came to Zhang Xiuxiu's side, and grabbed her waist with one hand.
"Let's go, there's something nice to look at in the back. Zhang Xiuxiu wanted to refuse, but the soft words of the woman in red were like a spell in her ears, so that she couldn't refuse, and even took the initiative to raise her feet forward, this unheard of bizarre made her feel panicked.
I thought that the platform I was on now was already a strange road, and I knew that the parallel walls, and the extension of the tunnel, compared with the tunnel when I came, it was much smaller at this time, but even this was a road that could accommodate adult peers, and even the height was two ends higher than that of adults, and as for the width, the carriage was no longer a problem.
Compared to the outside, there were inexplicable sounds in the tunnel, which were inaudible, but as the footsteps gradually deepened, those sounds became clear, chaotic crashes, knocks, and even weak moans and screams of pain.
The first thing that appeared in front of me was a group of men who were extremely thin and had dull eyes, the naked upper body, not to mention the skin and bones, was even more scarred, and there was not much flesh on the back, and the bones could be seen even more bones, and even some moaning men, on the back of the fleshy skin, you could see the bare and festering vertebrae.
Seeing the woman in red who arrived, many of the peeking eyes were so frightened that they withdrew their gaze, their bodies trembled, as if they had seen something they shouldn't see, and the pickaxe in their hands increased their strength.
The guard with the whip in his hand, when he saw the woman in red, immediately came upside down, and when he saw Zhang Xiuxiu, who was ambiguously close to his side, he only glanced at it lightly, not daring to look too much.
"Your Excellency, you are here. The whip-wielding man said.
The woman in red nodded, her eyes did not glance at the minion, she played with a strand of Zhang Xiuxiu's hair in her hand, and said coldly: "There is a harvest." ”
The whip minion was so frightened that she hurriedly nodded, so the woman in red nodded with satisfaction, sent the minion away, and went deeper with Zhang Xiuxiu.
Zhang Xiuxiu already knew that such a scale was made of mining, and she also felt frightened in her heart, and her own fear was also transferred a lot, and she only thought that if it was her husband's mining place, otherwise the hope that had been stored in her heart for a long time would be shattered.
Along the way, many people knocked on the stone wall, and even some people pushed the cart one after another, and from the heavy cart, they could see the stone glowing with golden light.
Countless men with weapons in the tunnel, who were idle guards, all bent down to salute when they saw the woman in red, making Zhang Xiuxiu guess in her heart what the identity of the woman was.
The deeper you go, the more terrifying you get, not because of the darkness, because there are countless corpses nailed to the stone wall, which are particularly clear under the light of the fire, especially the deeper you go, the more vivid the corpses are. As for whose masterpiece it is, when you see the woman in red with a satisfied look, you know!
Looking at the more and more vivid corpses, Zhang Xiuxiu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but before she took a few steps, a heart-piercing pain made her heart tighten, covered her chest and stopped, but there was a breeze in the cave where there should be no wind.
The woman in red turned around and asked Zhang Xiuxiu with concern, but Zhang Xiuxiu, who had been attracted by the breeze, was immersed in inexplicable emotions, and she was timid and scared, so she took the initiative to take steps and approached the edge of the stone wall.
Under the light of the torches, the man nailed to the wall made her burst into tears, and she could recognize the face, although it was out of shape, but she could still see the previous appearance.
Zhang Xiuxiu reached out to touch the man on the wall, when the warm palm touched the dry cheek, there was no warmth, there was only a cold heaviness, she couldn't control and wanted to cry loudly, but she could only cover her mouth with her hand, tears slid down the back of her hand, dripping onto the dirty ground, wrapped in dust, unable to splash any water.
The woman in red naturally saw the difference, looked up at the man who was nailed to the wall, and there were some vague signs in her mind, "This man has some meaning, inciting rebellion dozens of times, and running away is even more commonplace, the last time he saw that he was about to succeed, but he was betrayed, in order to commemorate him, it naturally became one of my collections, do you know him?"
Zhang Xiuxiu wiped her tears and shook her head, she already had the idea of revenge in her heart, she already knew that the woman in red behind her was the one who harmed his family, and the relatives who came earlier must have suffered this accident a long time ago, and even hung on the rope, there were their corpses, and now they hide themselves, so that they will have a chance to take revenge in the future.
The woman in red didn't ask much, just glanced at her understandingly, then grabbed her waist and abdomen again, and went deeper.
Zhang Xiuxiu is very disgusted with the woman's actions now, and she can't wait to pounce on her at this time, eating meat and drinking blood, but she understands that it is not the time yet, let alone succeeding.
After the gradual noise appeared in front of me, the road that was no longer feasible took on a golden color, especially on the walls, which was even more colorful with the light of the fire.
Zhang Xiuxiu didn't understand, but she could already guess that the golden stone was the unmined gold. For ordinary people, such a spectacular scene is very surprising, but for Zhang Xiuxiu, there is no sense of turmoil, and even some infinite sadness in her heart, her father, father-in-law, including her husband, all died for this cold gold, and it is not her own selfish desires, isn't this sad.
I thought that such a shocking scene would open Zhang Xiuxiu's eyes, but it was still the same as before, and there was not much shock in her eyes, and it was even colder than before, and the woman in red was stunned.
In the past, the woman who did not like gold and silver jewelry, including the brocade clothes and jade clothes in her room, brocade and satin, just the shocking treasures in front of her eyes, also made women fascinated. Of course, she is also a woman herself, but it is unknown whether she recognizes gender in her heart.
On the way back, the two women didn't say anything all the way, and when they passed by the corpse on the wall, the woman in red took the initiative to stop, but Zhang Xiuxiu still strode forward and never slowed down, but her moist eyes showed the attitude in her heart.
