Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 78 Iron Cage

  I used my feet to probe around, but there was no place to bear the force.

  There are no ladders and no steps.

  But think about it, if these things are provided, wouldn’t the people behind them just slip away.

   “It seems I have to jump down…”

   Xiaolan swayed the light into the hole, determined the height, and felt that this behavior was not particularly deadly, so she supported her with both hands and jumped into the hole.

  The hole is very straight, and the landing is quite stable. The space in the hole is not small, but the passage is very narrow. It is difficult to accommodate two people. After Xiaolan stood firmly, he raised his phone and looked around.

  Except for a dilapidated quilt, there is nothing in this hole. It seems that it will be cleaned regularly. The hole is not dirty and has no peculiar smell. Of course, at a glance, there is no clue.

  As he was about to roll up his sleeves and take a closer look, there was a sound of metal collision at the entrance of the hole.

   “Crack, crack…squeak-bang…”

   Xiaolan turned around, and a beam of light shot down from the entrance of the hole, which was different from the light of a flashlight. The light was soft and dim. It seemed that it was just ordinary sky light shining down the passage.

  It was like someone had opened the door of the cave entrance, but when I first entered the cave, there was no door at the entrance of the cave.

  More importantly, are there other people here?

   “Sister Hua Cong, are you there?”

  The soft and slender voice sounded from the entrance of the cave, not the delicate voice of the flowers, but another girl.

  This voice seemed to draw Xiaolan’s memory, she felt strange and familiar.

  This voice… where did you hear it…

   “Sister Hua Cong, I am Miao Miao, I will come to see you.”

   is Miao Miao!

  The memory of this voice suddenly returned to Xiaolan’s mind.

   “Uncle! Help me!”

   “Dad, I don’t…”

“Do not!……”

   Xiaolan sniffed and looked over the hole.

   is the Miao Miao in the dream.

  A petite girl was leaning at the entrance of the cave. Against the light, Xiaolan couldn’t see her face clearly, but she felt that she was obviously relaxed after seeing herself.

   “Sister Hua Cong, Dad said… I am going to send you up the mountain tonight…”

  Miaomiao’s tone fell. Xiaolan looked up and watched the little girl retract her upper body. The entrance of the hole became empty again, but Miaomiao’s voice still came.

   “When the time comes, you will slip away from the ancestral hall as I said and wait for me in the cave. When I go down the mountain, I will find you and take you away…”

   Xiaolan’s heart twitched suddenly.

  Miao Miao is helping Hua Cong escape?

  ”Don’t worry, sister Hua Cong, I have saved many people like this. After you run away, sister Hua Cong, don’t come back again…”

   Xiaolan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

  The flower bush could have been run away.

  But they didn’t expect that the flowers would be taken directly by the man and locked in the house.

  ”Have you been helping others like this, Miao Miao?”

   Xiaolan didn’t want to speak, but her voice came from her throat. This was not her own voice, but the voice of Huatu.

“We… There is no way, Dad needs money, we need money… But we all understand that this is wrong… So I thought, trying to make up for it, how can we get the money and alleviate our sins… …But even so, there are still many children…”

   “That’s not your fault, Miao Miao,” “I” said, “It is the people on the mountain who should pay the price. They are committing crimes and there are many ways to make money. You really shouldn’t…”

“Sister Hua Cong, we all understand,” Miao Miao interrupted gently, “But, Lianshui Village can’t be cut off, and we don’t know why, Lianshui Village seems to be able to…like the book said, it’s a gestation The soil of sin, where there is no external interference, and other people will not be able to influence it for long. It will still change back to its original state. People in Lianshui Village, from adults to children, seem to…seem to have a criminal nature. I want to save the kidnapped children, and I want to save the children in the village, but…too difficult…”

  The soil of evil?

  Xiaolan pondered, and indeed, A Liang, who narrated crime and death in an understatement, and Sister Sun, who was able to keep calm before her lover died tragically in front of her, the attitude of the people in the village towards crime is indeed unusual.

  Miaomiao hopes to use her kindness and love to eradicate the criminal genes from the children in Lianshui Village.

  But it cannot fundamentally change all of this.

   “No one is born bad. We only need to cut off the existing criminal behavior and let the children receive the correct education. Everything can be changed. Miao Miao, I will also help you and help the children in Lianshui Village.”

   “Sister Hua Cong, you don’t understand, you don’t understand…”

  Miao Miao’s voice gradually disappeared, Xiaolan still looked up at the entrance of the cave, a black shadow suddenly enveloped, as if the door was finally closed, but there was no sound of closing the door.

  ”Miaomiao?” This time it was Xiaolan’s own voice.

  He plunged into darkness again, Xiaolan quickly took out his phone to see what happened, only to see that the surrounding scenery had changed again.

Everywhere is black, but I can vaguely see that this is a very spacious space. Xiaolan turned over, and the phone that she was holding tightly just now has disappeared. She was surprised that Xiaolan sat up and wanted to find it. But his head hit a hard object unpreparedly.

   “Clang!…”

   With a muffled sound, Xiaolan covered the head he hit with one hand, and touched the object with the other.

  The feel of the metal strip is like steel bars, and other parallel and vertical steel bars are arranged beside the steel bars, just like…

   was groping, and the light on the side lit up.

   “Squeak——”

  It turned out that there was a door not far away. The door was pushed open, and several people rushed in.

With this light, Xiaolan finally saw that she was now being locked in a sturdy iron cage, and the hands holding the iron cage did not look like her own. Xiaolan understood that she had come to Hua Cong again in.

“Little girl, you are blessed!…” A chubby woman smiled brightly and squeezed to the side of Xiaolan. “There is a young man in the village who is attracted to you. You don’t need to be sold to that poor place. You say your life. How great, hahahaha…”

   Before Xiaolan could react, she threw her body out and shook the cage vigorously with both hands.

   “What did you say… You let me out! You are committing a crime! Let me out!”

  Little Miaomiao stood behind the people, looking at the flowers from the gap in the crowd, tears filled his big round eyes.

   “I don’t want to stay here, not to say…”

   Seeing the Miao Miao in the distance, the words of the flowers stopped abruptly.

  In any case, you must not betray Miao Miao.

   “I will send you to the door in the afternoon, little girl, don’t worry,” the woman’s smile looked incredibly ferocious, “In the future, I will stay steadfast in our Lianshui Village and live a good life for you!”

  People are smiling, laughing very happily.

  Miao Miao shook her head in pain and covered her face.

   Xiaolan feels that her heart is falling, maybe it’s the heart of the flower bush, maybe it’s her own.

  The eyes were dark, and there was no consciousness.
