Chapter 33: The Secret of Number 31
"Why did you think of moving the cupboard?" I asked subconsciously.
Pan Ying glanced at me, lowered her head and didn't speak.
I turned to her and whispered:
"I'm a friend of you, so there are some things I don't ask, but you should know that sometimes it's not a good thing to be too curious."
Pan Ying raised her eyes to look at the hole in the corner of the wall, and turned her face to look at me:
"You...... You don't want to know what's in there? ”
"I ......"
I gave her a thumbs up, "You're bull13." ”
I turned my eyes to the hole in the corner.
When Lao He asked me to help him look at the shop, I already felt that what he said was a little untrue.
But I never thought that No. 31 would hide a secret passage!
Even though it was early in the morning, no one could still suppress their curiosity in this situation......
I fumbled in my pockets, went back to the front, went to the door first, then slung my backpack over my shoulder, picked up the butter wax on the table, and went back to the kitchen.
"You're going down?" Pan Ying asked in a trembling voice.
I glared back at her, "I'll send you back first?"
"Don't! This secret passage...... I found it, and I have the right to explore! ”
"You ......"
Although this question and answer was almost meaningless, I couldn't help but grit my teeth in anger.
I walked to the corner, looked at the cupboard, crouched down, and stuck the butter wax through the hole.
"This hole is very strange, as if it absorbs light...... Pan Ying whispered behind my shoulder.
I glanced at her, pulled out my phone, and flashed it into the hole.
Indeed, as she said, this hole is so small that only one person can get into it, as if it has the ability to absorb light.
Whether it's a candle flame or a flash light, it can only illuminate a radius of one meter at most.
There seems to be a colorless and odorless aura in the cave, which can wrap the incoming light source within a certain range......
"Are you sure you want to go down?" Pan Ying asked.
"You stay on top."
"I ...... I have the right to explore......"
"You...... Well, at your own risk. ”
Thinking of the scene I had seen in the darkness before, I didn't bother to talk nonsense with her anymore, so I took out a bamboo knife and stuffed it into her hand, twisted my neck, and with full of doubts and unspeakable trepidation, turned around and climbed down the bamboo ladder at the entrance of the cave.
This cave is not a secret passage as Pan Ying said, but more like a cellar hidden in the shadows.
With the "squeak" sound of stepping on the bamboo ladder, I soon stepped on the ground.
Pan Ying followed, took out her mobile phone and fiddled with it twice, and looked up at me:
"My phone...... No power! ”
I took out my phone and double-clicked it to show her the pitch-black screen while looking at the shea wax fire.
"Woe to me, I suddenly had a feeling."
"What?"
I squinted my eyes, trying to see my surroundings clearly, but I could still only see the limited distance in front of me.
"The original owner here doesn't seem to be a good person." Pan Ying pulled the corner of my clothes and whispered.
I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook my head, "Probably not, although Lao He is a fan of money, he is not a bad person." ”
"Woe, don't you think it's weird here, light should be everywhere, but it's not ...... here at all I can't shine on it...... Yes!!! ”
Pan Ying suddenly let out a scream!
I was shocked, and instinctively took her behind me with my backhand, and said angrily:
"What are you yelling about?"
"Someone...... Someone touched my head! Pan Ying was almost crying.
I was violently excited, subconsciously grabbed one of her hands, leaned back, and whispered, "Don't mess around, I'm here." ”
As he spoke, his heart was pounding.
I could feel that there wasn't a lot of space down there, and it couldn't be too big.
But I always feel ...... In the eerie darkness that the candle flame could not reach, there seemed to be something hidden.
And...... That thing is alive......
I held Pan Ying in one hand and butter wax in the other, and spun around in place.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on the ladder that came down.
According to common sense...... The ladder must have been set up on the side against the wall.
The range of candle lighting is limited, and instead of looking for the near and far, it is better to look at the situation behind the ladder first, at least to be able to judge the current situation of the two.
I pulled Pan Ying, walked around the bamboo ladder, and stretched the butter wax to the back of the bamboo ladder.
As the candle flame moved forward inch by inch, all of a sudden, I saw a human face peeking out of the darkness!
"Ahh
At the sight of this face, I instinctively screamed and shook off the wrist I was holding.
The face I saw was none other than Pan Ying!
She burst into tears, closed her eyes, and shrunk behind the ladder shivering......
She's behind the ladder, so who was I grabbing?!
"Pan Pan!" I let out a low voice.
"Wow......"
Pan Ying threw herself into my arms with her eyes closed, "Someone grabbed me...... A lot of hands grabbed me...... Woe to us, let's withdraw......"
"Removal ......"
I was speechless for a while, and it took me a long time to catch my breath, "You only think about retreating every time you hit the south wall!" Well, forget the scar and forget the pain! Where do you care so much about curiosity? Withdraw now, I'll withdraw your sister......"
Halfway through the sentence, I shut up abruptly, my eyes slowly turning back with the feeling.
"Pan Pan."
"Huh?" Pan Ying groaned and raised her head, her face full of tears and snot, but her eyes were still closed.
I didn't bother to taunt her, and slowly moved the butter wax to my shoulder, "Look at it...... Look what's behind me......"
I really can't even breathe.
Because I finally know why Pan Shenwhip is scared like this.
I felt like there were more than ten little hands behind my back...... Silently put it on my back!
Pan Ying's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and the tears on them fell.
She slowly opened her left eye, looked up behind me, opened her other eye suddenly, shook her head and said, "Nothing......"
Just as she opened her eyes, I felt the dozen or so little hands suddenly leave my back.
I pursed my lips and reluctantly said:
"Well, it's okay now. Don't close your eyes...... Help me keep an eye on my back. Let me see...... See what the hell this is. ”
I said as I took two steps forward with her in my arms.
Before I could move the butter wax behind her, I could see what was going on behind her.
It is an ordinary mud-plastered wall, but there is a portrait of a charming woman on the wall!
I was trying to move the candle flame closer, to see what the portrait looked like, when the light suddenly lit up.
It wasn't a dazzling light, just an transition from dim to bright.
But just overdoing it made me feel like my eyes were flickering, and I instinctively narrowed my eyes.
By the time I opened my eyes again, everything around me was back to normal.
The so-called normal is for the candle flame of shea wax.
The place that could not be illuminated is now completely covered by light.
But the strange thing is that the portrait of the woman on the wall in front of me has disappeared......
"Woe to you, there's a door there!" Pan Ying suddenly whispered.
I looked at the empty earthen wall in front of me for a moment, then took a step back, looked down at her, and followed the direction of her finger.
This is a cellar of less than 10 square meters, about two meters deep, and surrounded by earthen walls.
In the corner of her finger, there were two arched wooden doors less than a meter high, open on the side!
The wooden door is small, but it is decent, like the gateway of a large family in ancient times, and it is also painted with bright vermilion lacquer.
Looking at the bright red wooden door, I took a deep breath and looked down at Pan Ying who was attached to my arms, "Divine whip, what do you think?" ”
Pan Ying grinned, raised her hand to wipe the tears and snot on her face, and said vaguely:
"It's all here, I want to know what's inside."
"There's a kind."
I nodded, swallowed hard, looked around, and dragged her to the corner.
I was about to kick the door open regardless of it, when Pan Ying suddenly suppressed her voice and said:
"How do I feel, this looks like a temple?"
"Temple?"
I was startled, and quickly realized why she would say that.
Although the two doors in front of them are small, they look like temple portals seen in costume dramas, not only painted with vermilion lacquer, but also with copper nails on them.
It's just that the brass nails, like the door, are shrunk......
"Guess what's in this?" Pan Ying asked in a low voice.
I shook my head a little abruptly and muttered:
"All I know is that the secret of No. 31 is supposed to be hidden behind this door...... I'm so tired...... I must know the truth! ”
