The cheongsam beauty becomes a god after the end of the law

Chapter 86 86. Drawing lots
  Draw lots.

Chen Xiang was confused and asked: "What are you doing by drawing lots?"

Mr. Peng spoke in Miao language while Gu Yunshi translated.

"In the past forty years, people have been sent down continuously. In this isolated cage, we have our own rules. This little girl is right. There is running water in the underground river, which means there is a way out, so as early as one day From the beginning, we never gave up looking for the exit. When I fell, I broke my leg, so I had no chance to follow everyone to find a way out. I could only stay here, but at the same time... no one came back. I don’t know , did those people escape or... In short, there has been no news from all the people who entered for so long. "

Mr. Peng shook the four lottery sticks in his hand: "I am the one who has been trapped here for the longest time. Everyone either died of illness or old age, or they never came back after entering the corridor. I guess it is because it is too difficult to rescue, or for some other reason. As a result, those who escaped chose to protect themselves and gave up rescue...or perhaps there was some unknown danger at the end of the tunnel that swallowed them up..."

He raised his eyes and looked at everyone: "I have never entered that corridor... For an old and disabled person like me, there is nothing I can do. I have to wait for forty years. But if possible, I hope someone can find it and get out. way... and then come back to rescue the remaining people, or give me an answer, is there an exit at the end of that corridor? So that I can... break the prison of this dilemma, and someone can come in again and show them the way... ...Or tell them...don't try again, just wait here and die..."

After a long sigh, Mr. Peng continued: "In short, these rules were established by me and based on the experience of predecessors. Every year on the fourth day of the Miao New Year, everyone draws lots to explore the road. Where will the end of the road be? Whether it is life or death, it has always been unknown. Because it is unknown, we cannot stop exploring... Newcomers do not participate in drawing lots... After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is easier for newcomers to walk away if they have no feelings for everyone... Come on, start drawing lots."

As Gu Yunshi translated, his tone became weaker and weaker.

Chen Xiangyin and He Chongtian looked at each other and decided to stay put.

When she saw Ah Jin about to raise his hand, she immediately pressed his hand down and said in a very low voice: "Let's take a look first."

Grandpa Gu had just been sent down and did not need to participate. He looked extremely ugly on the side.

Newcomers are the ones most eager to try and find the exit!
  The other four people took turns drawing lots.

Chen Xiangyin quickly analyzed what Mr. Peng had said. No one had come back, and most likely they were all dead. But what dangers could there be inside that could kill everyone who entered?
  If there is really danger inside, why are the people on the corridor okay?

For so long, has no one gone in and come out again to tell Mr. Peng what the scene is inside? Everyone walks the same path until it "disappears" and never turns back?
  This is a life-and-death gamble that cannot be proven or falsified.

Old Wu rubbed his hands before drawing lots: "I will go crazy if I continue to stay here. This year it's my turn to explore, right?! Live or die, I don't want to just sit back and wait for death!"

After saying that, he quickly took out a lottery ticket and looked at the head of the lottery ticket, but there was nothing there.

Old Wu looked a little disappointed, shook his head and pulled away.

The third old man, a bachelor, stepped forward and babbled: "Actually... there is food and drink here, so there is nothing wrong with it..." After saying that, he took out the lottery and turned it around. It was a red-headed lottery!
  The bachelor old man was shocked all over and his eyes were full of horror!

It's a bit ironic, those who wanted to go didn't get the lottery, but those who didn't want to go did.

Chen Xiangyin originally thought that in this case, maybe Old Wu and the hunchbacked old man could exchange their lottery tickets, but Old Peng took back the red-headed lottery ticket and put it back, "Everyone... let's have a reunion dinner."

The matter is settled.

He Chongtian asked: "Why not let those who want to go go?"

Mr. Peng said slowly: "We are separated from society. What do you think is the most important thing?"

Chen Xiangyin seemed to understand something and answered: "Order."

Yes, order, a place of despair needs strict rules to ensure order, otherwise everything will be much worse.

Whoever is caught by lot will explore the way. If it is based on discussion alone, there will always be disagreements. Sometimes several people rush to go, and sometimes everyone shirks.

They are no longer aggressive young people and have no excess energy. The old people pursue peace more and need an order. Old Peng, who has the longest experience and knows the most, is the executor of this order.

He Chongtian disdained such a one-size-fits-all lazy policy and tapped Shen Xiangyin's shoulder with his finger.

Chen Xiangyin nodded towards him and said to Mr. Peng: "Mr. Peng, let us go this time."

Mr. Peng looked at her without speaking, waiting for her to say more.

Chen Xiangyin continued: "We have a greater chance of finding a way out, and we are not restricted by Huangshui Village."

If someone gets out alive but does not come back for rescue, the resistance may come from the head of Huangshui Village, or he or she may not be capable enough to protect himself.

But they are different, they are outsiders, and they all have some abilities.

Chen Xiangyin not long ago singled out a giant bear, and He Chongtian has an aura that makes people surrender at a glance, making him a top practitioner.

Chen Xiangyin continued to elaborate: "Following order is the best solution when there are no emergencies, but this time the situation is special, and we are willing to explore the path, no matter what is ahead." The old bachelor also agreed: "Young people have a higher probability of success. Older... Also, Lao Gu's grandson will definitely leave Lao Gu alone, and will come back if he can get out."

Mr. Peng's gray eyes kept something secret: "Four of you, three of you will go. The young man has just recovered from the poison and his body has not recovered. Stay here to rest." He pointed at Ah Jin.

Why does it sound like leaving someone as a hostage?
  Chen Xiangyin felt that Mr. Peng was a little unnecessary.

However, what was in the corridor was still unknown, so it would be nice if one less person was in danger. Thinking of this, she even wanted to go in alone to explore the way.

As soon as he thought of it, Chen Xiangyin suggested: "I'll go in and explore the path myself first."

As his big arm was quickly pinched, He Chongtian's voice came to his ears: "I'll go with you."

Chen Xiang turned back and frowned: "Why are you pinching so hard..."

He Chongtian let go, maybe because he realized that he subconsciously wanted to catch her, hold her down, and control her... His eyes flickered.

Chen Xiangyin took a step away with some discomfort, but he was indeed very strong and could help him. The corridor was so dark that he was quite scared at first glance.

"Then let's go in."

Mr. Peng suddenly said: "Gu Yunshi is going too."

Chen Xiangyin guessed that Mr. Peng was afraid that the two strangers would leave without coming back.
  Gu Yunshi would never leave Grandpa Gu alone.

Chen Xiang nodded: "That's okay, when are you leaving?"

Mr. Peng: "We had the reunion dinner."

……

The weak skylight and the faint red color around it couldn't illuminate the dark cave.

In a forgotten corner of the damp underground, everyone gathered around the "dining table", surrounded by a rich table of delicious food.

Mr. Peng was carried to the high platform and cut up the chicken legs with pieces of rotten iron he got from who knows where.

No one moved their chopsticks, everyone looked at him.

The phoenix is ​​their ancestor, and eating chicken seems to give them some of the phoenix's abilities. The ceremony feels solemn at this time.

"One chicken leg for the newcomer Lao Gu... one chicken leg for... the pioneer exploring the path." Mr. Peng said, and gave a fat and oily chicken leg to He Chongtian.

This is Mr. Peng's recognition of He Chongtian, and it is also the approval of the other people.

Among them, He Chongtian seems to be the leader, with the highest force value and the strongest ability.

Everyone hopes that He Chongtian can find a way out and come back to save others.

He Chongtian turned the chicken legs to Chen Xiangyin very naturally without saying anything.

The rest of the people looked at He Chongtian and Shen Xiangyin.

This is more than just a chicken leg, it is a ritual before leaving, a blessing of faith, and it may also be the last meal.

He gave it to her.

Chen Xiangyin looked at He Chongtian and said solemnly: "I will definitely take everyone out."

He Chongtian made a sound, leaned in and whispered: "Don't think too much, I just want you to be more docile after eating, have fewer attacks and listen to the arrangements."

Chen Xiang gave him a blank look.

Then He Chongtian whispered again: "Mr. Peng's leg was amputated by a very exquisite surgical operation."
