Hearing the voice of speaking, I couldn't help but startled, why is there someone outside talking. Under the leadership of the Red Snake, I have been walking through the cave all the time. I have never encountered a big living person, but there are people outside at this moment.
What kind of place is outside Shimen? Who is talking
I couldn't be sure who was outside, so I didn't knock on the stone gate immediately, but still stuck to the stone gate, trying to hear what was said clearly. But this stone gate is so thick that you can't hear what they are talking about.
According to my judgment, there should be two people talking, one is older and the other is much younger.
The red snake was gone, so I had to lean against the stone gate alone and take a rest for a while.
I kept thinking back in my mind, following Red Snake and walking up. Could it be that I have now reached the top of the mountain? Heihua Village is just outside the Shimen.
I was taken aback by my own speculation, but the more I thought about it, the more reasonable it became. The Red Snake was eager to go back to the ancestral hall to see the dumb. The way it took me was definitely the way back to Heihuazhai.
I was not sure who was speaking outside, so I decided to wait a while, and when there was no sound outside, I would try to open the stone gate.
Leaning on Shimen, thinking about what happened in the past two days, I subconsciously touched Luo Doudou's spiritual position, feeling a little bit unwilling in my heart. As long as I cross that stream, I can escape from here.
But in the end I came back here, too reconciled.
I cried out in my heart, Lord Luo Doudou, you must leave me your remnant scorpion so that I can escape from here and never come back.
Hey, I don't know where the paper man sister is.
I was sitting leaning against Shimen, and I fell asleep when I felt tired. When I woke up, there was no sound outside. After eating the last few wild fruits, I stood up, took a deep breath, and pushed Shimen hard.
The stone gate is very thick, and there is no sign of movement at all. I was completely stunned, this stone gate weighed at least a thousand kilograms, and I couldn't move it at all with my hands. The Red Snake went back by himself, leaving me here.
If the stone gate can't be opened, don't I have to go back the same way, and then climb up through the hanging ladder
As long as it is a door, there is always a way to open it, I told myself in my heart. I fumbled in front of Shimen, trying to find something like a button. Because I remember many doors cannot be opened, but as long as you press a button, the door will open automatically.
The light is getting darker and darker, and the scope of my naked eye is getting smaller and smaller. In the end, I can only find it with my hands. I fumbled for a long time, but in the end I didn't open the door.
I think Shimen cannot be opened anymore.
I took a deep breath, knocked on Shimen hard, and shouted: "Is anyone there? Is there anyone out there?"
After several calls, there was no movement. I suddenly felt funny in my heart. I had to put my ear on the stone wall to hear the movement outside. It’s not that easy for people outside to hear me.
I simply clenched my fists and slammed Shimen hard, which was better than yelling loudly. After a long time, there was no movement.
Just when I was about to give up, I only felt that Shimen made three muffled noises. I was overjoyed that someone was about to open the door. I hurriedly flashed aside and posted it on the edge of the stone gate.
The stone gate opened slowly, and a door gap opened in the middle, the light of the lantern shone, and a figure appeared in the middle. The figure is not too tall. One of my heart has jumped to my throat, and I am too nervous.
"Luo Jiu, come out." A familiar voice came.
I was overjoyed, it was Fang Xiaoyuan's voice, but I didn't expect that she would appear here.
I showed up to meet her. There were tears in the corner of her eyes. She should have cried for a while, still wearing a blue cloth, with a red snake on her arm.
I wondered: "Why are you here?"
Fang Xiaoyuan smiled reluctantly: "The red bamboo snake came out of the snake path, and I saw it. It has been reluctant to go, indicating that it wants me to do something for it."
I suddenly remembered that Fang Xiaoyuan was hiding in the mute room that night when I visited the ancestral hall. She could hide in the mute room, indicating that Red Snake didn't hate her and even recognized Fang Xiaoyuan.
I also smiled: "I was still complaining about the Red Snake in my heart just now."
Fang Xiaoyuan said: "Luo Jiu, come out. This stone gate is very important. If my grandpa knew about it, I would be punished."
I walked out quickly, only to see Fang Xiaoyuan lightly pat a few times on the edge of the stone gate, and the stone gate closed again. After I came out, I found that the exit was not in front of an open field, nor in the wilderness of the mountains.
But in a cellar, the cellar is not big, and a lot of food is stored in the side position. There was a hidden door at the exit of the cellar. After opening it, it turned out to be the room where Fang Xiaoyuan slept.
I didn't expect that the final exit of Xiezidong would be in Fang Xiaoyuan's room. I suddenly remembered that Miao Xiuping said that she was drunk with Luo Youdao before stealing the secret of the ladder.
But that hanging ladder is not a secret passage at all, only here can it be regarded as a secret passage. Once you encounter war, turmoil, vendetta, etc., open the stone gate and you can escape into the Poison Worm Valley through the Scorpion Cave.
Perhaps Luo Youdao didn't even know that there was such a path; perhaps he knew that Miao Xiuping deliberately used his words, but he still had a conscience in his heart and didn't say this secret way.
Which one it is is no longer able to prove it.
It was pitch black outside, and occasionally some light could be seen.
I asked: "Sister Fang, is this your grandfather's house?"
Fang Xiaoyuan nodded and said in a low voice: "My grandfather is named Luo Beicheng, the patriarch of Heihuazhai. I went to work some time ago. I only returned today. You have to be careful."
I was surprised before that everyone here except the married daughter-in-law was named Luo, but Fang Xiaoyuan was surnamed Fang. It turns out that she is not from Heihuazhai. Her surname is Fang, indicating that her father's surname is Fang.
I said: "Sister Fang, I am not Luo Jiu, I am Xiao Kang. But Luo Dajin will not let others call me Xiao Kang, so you still call me Luo Jiu, but please remember my name."
Fang Xiaoyuan nodded and took out a box of pastries from a drawer: "Xiao Kang, you must be very hungry. You still have wounds on your body. I'll help you bandage it later."
I ate wild fruits for two days and smelled the scent of pastries. I immediately gobbled it up and almost choked. Drinking saliva made me much better.
When Fang Xiaoyuan saw me devouring a wolf, she laughed, then cried, and a few crystal tears rolled down: "Xiao Kang, when will your parents come to pick you up? My parents will never come back, they Wait for me in another world."
I couldn't help but stunned, and then I realized that the reason why Fang Xiaoyuan lived in her grandfather's house was because her parents had passed away. A child with parents is like a treasure, and a child without parents is like a grass. I didn't realize it before, but now I understand.
Fang Xiaoyuan cried, and my eyes were red: "Sister Fang, if you don’t like this place, wait for my parents to find it. I beg my dad to take you with you. You can go to Xiaojiazhen where you can watch big shows and eat sweets. Human. So you have to live like me."
Fang Xiaoyuan wiped her tears: "Xiao Kang, I will not end well. My grandfather is a very perverted and vicious person, even worse than Luo Dajin."
I was stunned for a moment: "Is he a pro-grandpa?"
I was a little worried secretly, Fang Xiaoyuan, like me, was also a child abducted by human traffickers. Luo Dajin can be forced to be his worm son, and this man named Luo Beicheng can also accept a granddaughter.
Fang Xiaoyuan shook her head: "He is indeed my grandfather. He didn't promise to let my grandma marry my dad, but my grandmother resolutely married my dad. Our family of three had a very happy life, but Then my father died. My mother sent me here before she died, hoping that he would take care of me... But he has always been very bad to me."
Only then did I understand that Fang Xiaoyuan knocked on the door to find me in the evening of the first day. She really wanted to help me. She herself had lost her father's love and mother's love, and she didn't want me to suffer such torture.
I couldn't help saying: "Sister Fang, you are really a kind-hearted girl."
Fang Xiaoyuan smiled embarrassedly, and found the medicine box to rub the medicine for me: "There are many insects in this mountain, and I am often bitten by them, so I have prepared a lot of wound medicine. You endure the pain, don't call it out, I'm afraid My grandfather heard it."
I nodded and said to my heart that I was a little man anyway, how could I yell in front of a girl? Isn't it just medicine for the wound.
Fang Xiaoyuan's movements were very slow, and her expression was very focused. Because of her attention, a crystal clear drop of sweat slid from her forehead to the tip of her nose.
I gritted my teeth, but did not call out.
Fang Xiaoyuan finally burst into laughter: "Xiao Kang, you are really a strong boy." This is in response to what I said just now that she is a "good girl".
I scratched my head and laughed too embarrassed.
At this moment, there was a sound of walking outside the door, and Fang Xiaoyuan made a hissing motion and turned off the light deftly and skillfully.
"Madooka, why aren't you sleeping yet, what are you doing in the room?" An extremely severe business came.
"Grandpa, I went to bed right away, and you went to bed earlier. It's very exhausting to go out these few days." Fang Xiaoyuan said.
Her voice sounded normal, but when I stood beside her, I could clearly feel her heart beating quickly. The palm of my hand was also squeezed with sweat.
Luo Beicheng shouted again: "I know you miss your grandma every night, and wipe your tears when you think about it. But you have to know that your grandma has been away for three years and will never come back. What's the use of crying. You If you don’t learn your skills from me, how can you avenge them?"
Fang Xiaoyuan was silent for a while: "Grandpa, I didn't cry. I just couldn't sleep at night, so I turned on the light. Now that I turn off the light, I will go to bed immediately. I will learn my skills with you tomorrow."
When Fang Xiaoyuan started to say this, her right hand held my arm tightly, and every time I said a word, I could feel the anger in her heart.
Luo Beicheng sighed heavily from outside the door, and another burst of sparks appeared, and there was still a smell of smoke in the air. Luo Beicheng was out to smoke. After a long while, the pipe struck twice and Luo Beicheng returned to his room.
"Sister Fang, your pinch hurts." I whispered.
"My parents were killed by his old thief." Fang Xiaoyuan gritted her teeth and said, in the darkness, I felt resentful and vicious look in her eyes.
This look does not belong to a child of her age.
