Chapter 341
Just when Dr. You finished speaking, Ji Yunyan had already rushed to the exit steps, and Mei Dai followed behind her.

Shen Yuexi was not as anxious as they were, but stood still and recalled what Dr. You said.

The poor scholar who Dr. You mentioned was just now, could it be Mrs. Lin's husband, Mu Zhongren?Where is he?

She left the stone gate full of skeletons, came to the crossroads of the corridor, went to the east first, opened the doors of the rooms one by one to look inside, each house was full of thick dust and cobwebs, exuding the smell of decaying wood , apparently uninhabited for many years.

Judging from the information obtained, these women were imprisoned in the stone house after Wen Yi was selected.These rooms must have been unoccupied for 20 years.But if Mrs. Lin's husband, Mu Zhongren, was also imprisoned here by Dr. You, it was only a few years ago, and it is impossible for him not to leave traces here.

Thinking of this, she imitated Qiang Lin and bent down on the ground to observe.

With the light of the burning torches on the wall, she could clearly see a line of footprints, stopping in front of each torch, which belonged to Doctor You just now.There is also a group of footprints of a woman, which should belong to Ji Yunyan.

While observing carefully, Mei Dai's voice came from behind, "Sister, what are you doing lying on the ground?"

"I'm looking for Mu Zhongren," Shen Yuexi replied without turning her head, "he's also locked up here."

Ji Yunyan came to her and squatted down: "You are so leisurely, the entrance has been sealed, we can't get out, you still have the heart to find someone."

Shen Yuexi couldn't tell her that she had a Big Bear brand tunnel excavator, so she could only hum a few times: "Then I will help the two sisters find the exit."

Mei Dai said: "Yunyan, let's check other places, maybe there is more than one exit here."

Seeing Shen Yuexi concentrating on searching, Ji Yunyan got up helplessly and said, "I'll go to the room over there to look for it, maybe I can find a pickaxe, and see if I can dig the exit."

The three act separately.Shen Yuexi couldn't find it on the east side of the intersection, so she went back to the west side and opened the doors of the rooms one by one to check.Mei Dai went to the north, and Ji Yunyan went to the south to check the stone gate full of skeletons.

After looking at a few rooms, Mei Dai shouted from a distance: "Come and see, there is wind blowing in from the cracks in the stone wall." Shen Yuexi and Ji Yunyan hurried over.

Mei Dai was at the end of the corridor, holding a torch in one hand, and was on tiptoe reaching out to feel for the stone wall.Turning around and seeing two people running over, he turned his head and said, "There is wind here, so it must lead to the outside."

Shen Yuexi clapped her hands and said: "Sister Mei is right. This place is deep underground. If there is no connection with the outside at all, the people here would have been suffocated to death."

Ji Yunyan raised her long sword and knocked on the stone wall, saying: "This should be a mechanism door, the same as the room where those women were imprisoned in the south. There must be a mechanism that can open this stone door."

It's just that everyone didn't see how Doctor You opened the mechanism just now.

Shen Yuexi didn't panic, at worst, let the universal manufacturing machine eliminate the stone wall.But she would only do it as a last resort.If she can take the initiative to find the way out, she doesn't need to use her trump card.

Mei Dai said: "Yunyan, come with me, let's go to the south to see if we can find out how to use the mechanism."

Shen Yuexi also wanted to follow, but Mei Dai stopped her and said, "Sister, don't follow, there are too many corpses there, it's full of filth. Yunyan and I just go."

Seeing the two leaving, she held the torch and strolled to another room and pushed open the door.

To her surprise, this room was different from the others.Other rooms are covered with dust, but this room only has a thin layer of dust, the quilt on the bed is also unfolded, and there are messy footprints on the ground.

That's right, this must be the room where Mu Zhongren is.

She entered the room with a torch, and immediately noticed the letter on the table case that was pressed by the inkstone.Although there is also a layer of dust, it is obviously not something that is old.

Putting the torch on the lampstand, she pulled out the letter, shook off the ashes, and unfolded the paper.

The words on it were densely packed, and she still couldn't understand... But one thing is certain, Mu Zhongren has found a way out and left here.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, there are people who understand.

She excitedly left the room with the letter paper, ran all the way to the intersection, and shouted to Mei Dai and Ji Yunyan in the distance: "I found Mu Zhongren's letter."

After Mei Dai finished reading the letter, she raised her head with a smile and said to Shen Yuexi: "That's great, we can go out." Then, she walked towards the stone wall where the wind blows in.

"Sister Mei, what is written in the letter?" Shen Yuexi chased after her and asked.

"The way to leave here," Mei Dai put away the letter, "and the reason why he is here."

When she came to the stone wall, Mei Dai groped a few times on the stone wall, pressed it hard, a palm-sized stone was sunken, and then there was a rumbling sound from behind the stone wall, the entire stone wall rose up, and the dust fell down rustlingly .

There was a precedent of being frightened just now, this time the three of them took a step back almost at the same time, worried that something terrible would come out again.

The stone wall only rose more than a foot before it stopped, as if it was stuck, and there was a clicking sound in the wall.Ji Yunyan lay on the ground, threw a few burning torches into it, and looked inside: "Queen, there is a passage inside."

"Since the wind is blowing, it must lead to the outside. Let's go there quickly, and it will be troublesome if it falls again."

After Mei Dai finished speaking, she took the lead in lowering her body and entering under the stone wall.Shen Yuexi did the same thing, but she didn't want to press the baby in her belly, so she lay on her back and rubbed it a little bit.

The three of them passed the stone wall, got up and sorted their clothes, picked up the torch, and walked forward along the passage.

On the way, Mei Dai talked about the contents of the letter.

"Mu Zhongren originally took the money to start a business, but after saying goodbye to Mrs. Lin, he ran into Doctor You and his gang sneaking around. He followed curiously and discovered the secret here, and Doctor You tricked him into the crypt. "

"It turns out that we have wronged him. Doctor You lied to Mrs. Lin," Shen Yuexi said, "I remember Mrs. Lin said that he had already left home when the child was born. It turns out that he was imprisoned here for almost six years, so how could he What did you eat to survive?"

There is no food in the entire crypt.She was curious how so many people ate.It's not like going to the tiger's cave every day. A tiger is not a human being, so it won't negotiate with people about the delivery time.

Mei Dai smiled and said: "Isn't there a passage here? From my point of view, food and other things go this way."

Shen Yuexi still didn't quite understand: "After Wen Yi left the crypt, everyone was locked up, and there was no need to deliver food. Could it be that he left here long ago?"

Ji Yunyan's surprised voice sounded in front of her: "Queen, sister. There is light ahead."

Shen Yuexi became excited.

After being in the crypt for so long, it feels good to see the sun again.She took Mei Dai's hand and said, "Sister Mei, let's run."

The three happily rushed out of the hole facing the light, and came to a circular platform, about the size of an ordinary house, with a crooked neck tree planted on the edge.

Shen Yuexi threw away the torch, raised her hands high, stretched her waist greatly, and cheered, "Finally come out."

It was afternoon when they and Dr. You came to this crypt, and now it is almost dusk, and the sunset glow shone on her body like a fire, making her very comfortable.

Before she put her hand down, Mei Dai interrupted her and said: "My sister is too happy. Look at the top, and then look at the bottom."

Hearing this, Shen Yuexi quickly raised her head and looked up, seeing a vertical cliff, as if it wanted to pierce the sky.Looking down at the feet again, there is a deep valley below the platform, the sunlight cannot enter, and it is as dark as an abyss.

It turned out that this platform was actually embedded in an upright cliff.

I was so happy, I thought I was out of trouble.Dare to love is to come to a platform for letting the wind go, and you can't go up to the sky or down to the ground.

With her hands on her waist, she said to Mei Dai angrily: "Who designed this?"

"This is the entrance to deliver food and water." Mei Dai pointed to the stacks of baskets stacked in the corner of the platform. "Here, no one can escape. Water and food are hung from above."

"Then where is Mu Zhongren?" Ji Yunyan looked around in a daze, "Didn't he escape here too, why didn't you see him?"

Shen Yuexi was also a little puzzled, even if she died, she should at least see the bones.Could it be that he jumped off a cliff in despair?
She cautiously moved to the edge of the platform and looked down.

A long hemp rope was tied to a tree trunk extending from the edge of the platform.The lower end was submerged in the darkness, and was constantly swinging back and forth in the wind.

"It turns out that Mu Zhongren climbed down this rope." Shen Yuexi suddenly realized, "Is he not dead?"

Ji Yunyan said: "What are you waiting for, let's just slide down the rope."

She lay down on the edge of the platform, stretched out her hand to grab the rope and pulled it upwards. After a moment of pulling, the rope broke, and the lower half fell into the deep valley like a long snake.

Ji Yunyan sat up holding the broken rope, and showed the cut to the two of them: "It's already rotten because of the wind and rain."

The three of you look at me, I look at you, and they are out of words.
