"Sir, are all the seven people you sent out dead?" A man in black hurriedly ran to a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The man is sitting on a chair drinking tea.
"What's going on?" The man frowned and asked in a deep voice when he saw the man in black panting.
If He Yidao were here, he would definitely recognize that this person's voice was that of the leading man who led others to set fire to the place.
"I saw that the seven people I sent out had not returned, so I led people to follow the child's footprints to search. Unexpectedly, I only found seven corpses. And there were no children." The man in black continued.
"Oh? How do people die?" The tea cup in the man's hand stopped at his mouth, and his voice was extremely calm.
"Six people died after their throats were pierced by ghost needles. The other person, named Ah Yang, had just broken through the second level of heaven the day before yesterday, and his trachea seemed to have been cut by a dagger on his neck." The man thought for a while, as if thinking.
Should the next words be the same as, "And we found something very strange around the body."
"Say." The man put down the tea cup.
"We found," the man in black paused, "we found that around the seven corpses, there were the footprints of a child, especially next to Ah Yang's corpse, which had the most footprints."
The man in black looked up at the man and continued: "We suspect that all seven of them are..."
"That kid killed them all?" The man raised his eyebrows.
"This incident does sound a bit bizarre, and judging from the footprints at the scene, the child was not very old, probably only about five or six years old."
"Child's footprints?" After listening to the report of his men, the man was thinking about it and suddenly asked: "Where is that child?"
"Not found." The man in black said.
"Not found?" The man seemed a little angry. He slapped the table and the tea cup on the table was shaken. "You can't even find a five or six-year-old child?"
"The child ran away and left very few traces, but we still found some traces. Then I led people to chase along the traces left by the escape, but halfway we found that there was also a wolf around the child's footprints
Finally, we followed the footprints to a cliff, and the footprints completely disappeared from the cliff." The man in black spoke hastily, as if he was very afraid of the man's anger.
"So, we guess that the child may have fallen off the cliff or been eaten by a wild animal. However, since there was no blood on the ground, it is more likely that the child lost his footing and fell off the cliff due to the darkness of night."
"Have you searched under the cliff?" the man asked.
The man in black looked a little embarrassed.
"The cliff there is very strange. It seems that the cliff should not be there in the first place. The cliff there seems to have been cut out by someone. And it is more like a crack than a cliff. So, we can't do anything
Go down and search..."
"Trash!" The man finally got angry and raised his thick eyebrows, "The person is dead and the child is not caught, so what use do I have for you? What else can you do?"
The man in black did not dare to say a word.
"Find a way for me to go down and find it!"
"As you command, sir." After saying that, the black man left in a hurry.
The man picked up the tea on the table and put it down again as soon as it reached his mouth.
"child……"
…
…
The next morning.
He Yidao woke up slowly and found that he was lying on a vine net. The vine net was very strong and elastic.
The vine net is in mid-air, about a foot away from the cliff ground.
"Fortunately, I am lucky. If it weren't for this vine net, I would have become a puddle of meat by now." He Yidao was still a little scared.
He patted his chest and looked around.
"Eh? What's going on?" He Yidao saw his own baggage on the vine net, "Didn't I lose my baggage?"
He Yidao was confused, "Is it that black wolf?"
He shook his head and immediately denied it, "It's impossible, it still wants to eat me."
When he talked about eating, a "sigh" suddenly came from He Yidao's stomach. He touched his stomach and felt a little hungry. "I don't care, let's fill up our stomach first."
Indeed, food and clothing are the top priority for human beings. Only when we eat well and drink well can we think about other things.
He opened the bag, took out some dried meat and dry food, and ate it slowly.
Eat slowly and chew carefully for easy digestion and absorption. In the face of hunger, He Yidao still remained rational and did not wolf down. He knew that he was trapped and did not know whether there were food supplies around him. Therefore, every bit of his body was now
Food is very precious.
It's a point to save a little bit, and it's a point to absorb a little more energy.
After breakfast, He Yidao jumped down from the vine net about ten feet tall.
There was a thump.
"Ouch." He Yidao yelled and sat down on the ground, then picked up his little feet and started rubbing them.
It turned out that He Yidao had no shoes on his feet, and when he jumped from the vine net, he happened to be padded by small stones on the ground.
As I was rubbing my feet, I glanced around on the ground, and suddenly I saw a pair of mud-stained cloth shoes on the ground, "Are the shoes down too?"
He Yidao was a little confused and looked up at the sky.
He carefully observed his surroundings and found that he was in a ravine. Yes, it looked like a cliff from the mountain, but there was indeed a valley below the cliff.
The valley is very long, but there is no exit to both ends. Instead, it is blocked by the rocks on the mountain. And the surrounding rocks are very smooth, as if they have been cut by a knife.
"This place can be called a natural prison." He Yidao sighed helplessly as he looked at the surrounding environment, feeling helpless in his heart.
He picked up the muddy shoes on the ground and cleaned up some of the mud on them. Suddenly he looked at the dirty cloth shoes in a daze and said, "Mother..."
He thought of how his mother would nail shoes for herself at night when he was a child. Su Wen was very clumsy at first, and the shoes she made didn't look good, and her hands were easily injured, so she often used white cloth to wrap the wounds.
From that time on, He Yidao felt that his mother might be a lady because she didn't know how to make shoes.
It wasn't until He Yidao was five years old that Su Wen made much better shoes, became familiar with making shoes, and no longer had his fingers wrapped in white cloth.
"My mother said she would nail my shoes when I was six, seven, and eight years old until I got married and had children. She even nailed my children's shoes. But now there is nothing." He Yidao said in a voice
Very lightly, "I don't want shoes, I want my mother!"
"Can you bring it to me?" He looked up at the sky.
There is no response from the sky. It does not mean that devout prayers can get you everything you want.
"I must get out!" He Yidao's eyes suddenly became firm, "I will definitely find a way to get out!"
As long as the fire in your heart does not go out, there will always be hope. Not to mention the fire ignited by hatred.
He Yidao put on his cloth shoes and started searching in the valley. He was looking for a way out, looking for a chance to escape from this prison.
Even if you can't find it, you still have to find a source of food, otherwise you will starve to death before you even get out.
He Yidao kept walking around the valley, constantly exploring and familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment.
The valley is very dark, and it is difficult for the sun in the sky to spread sunlight here. The vine net is the place where the sun shines the most, and it is also where the wild vines grow best.
He was walking in the valley and suddenly found a cave. He decided to go in and have a look because he felt that the cave did not appear to be naturally formed.
On the smooth stone walls, this cave, like the stone walls on both sides, looks unusual in every way.
Why are the stone walls on both sides of the valley so smooth? How can there be a hole on such a smooth stone wall?
