"It's cleared!" I looked overjoyed. The wind blowing in from outside meant that it was cleared.
After smashing away the last layer of soil, a half-meter-long black hole appeared in the wall. A slight cool breeze blew in, and Sister Hong tried her best to peek out.
"Why, how could this happen..."
"What's wrong, Sister Hong? What's going on outside? Did you find anything?"
Sister Hong's face was uncertain, and she said in a deep voice: "I'm going to go over there first, and if I continue to stay here, the nights will be long and I'll have many dreams. I've probably calculated the time, and there are still more than three hours before they come down to deliver food. During this time, we have to
Stay as far away from here as possible."
"Who told you to follow us?" Seeing that Researcher An was about to run away with us, Sister Hong raised her eyebrows and said.
Researcher An held the corners of his clothes with both hands and whispered: "I...please take me with you. I don't want to die yet. I promise, I won't hold you back."
"Coward," Sister Hong turned to the side with an unhappy face and stopped talking. It seemed that she had left the decision-making power to me.
Researcher An had disheveled hair and dirty face. She just looked at me pitifully.
"Sister Hong, how about we take her with us and run away together? We can do this because she has helped, right?" I softened my heart and begged for her.
"Okay," Sister Hong pointed at her and said, "You can follow us, but this time you get through first."
Sister Hong had beaten her before, and Researcher An knew in her heart that she was being used as a guinea pig. She was also scared when she looked at the dark hole in the wall, but she was even more afraid that we would leave her alone, so she didn't dare to say anything.
We pushed from behind and let Researcher An get through first.
After waiting on the spot for five minutes, Researcher An's voice came: "I'm fine, the ground here is a bit thin, you can come over too."
I was the second to go, and Sister Hong was the last.
"No, there's so much mud here." I felt something was wrong as soon as I landed. I looked around and saw mud everywhere. It was difficult to walk on it, just like stepping in the mud at the bottom of a river.
I turned around and asked Sister Hong if she knew anything about this place.
Sister Hong mused thoughtfully: "Yunfeng, do you remember the wooden mountain we saw when we first came in?"
"Mushan...Sister Hong, you are talking about the intestines, right? I know, we have seen the murals on the wall. At that time, the second brother said that we were close to each other because we smelled the cypress trees.
I had an old face, so I had hallucinations when I was looking at the murals, and then I woke up with that bottle of medicine." I recalled the scene at that time.
"I said something was wrong, so they appeared here." Sister Hong looked around and recalled: "The content on the mural I saw was not only a coffin, but also a muddy swamp. And, if I remember correctly,
, a total of six people appeared on the mural."
"So you had that reaction just now?" I looked at her and said.
"You must be too suspicious, Sister Hong. Have you forgotten what Third Brother and the others said at that time? The old face of Huangbai can make people hallucinate after smelling it. Those are not true. Now, there are only three of us in total.
, you said you saw six people on the mural."
I looked at the silent surroundings and said, "Is it possible that the other three people are around us but we can't see them?"
