Mo Shouchen had already rescued Liu Fugui, so he would definitely not leave him alone, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, I will support you and we will walk together."

Liu Fugui's eyes were full of emotion. He took Mo Shouchen's hand and patted it heavily, and then said: "Brother, from today on, you are my brother. As long as I am here, no one in this mine dares to bully you!

"

Mo Shouchen helped Liu Fugui up, muttering to himself: If he could really get out, who would still be staying in this black coal kiln?

Li Wei knew how to get to Sanping Lane, so he led the way, while Mo Shouchen supported Liu Fugui and followed behind.

Mo Shouchen didn't feel much at first, but as he walked, he felt that his sweat-soaked clothes were getting colder and colder.

Although he had long heard that the temperature in the mine was low, he was now supporting Liu Fugui as he walked with him and was exercising a lot. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so cold that his upper and lower teeth would chatter.

He looked at Li Wei in front of him. His pace was steady, and Liu Fugui's body showed no signs of trembling. It seemed that he was the only one who couldn't adapt to the temperature here.

Not long after walking, after turning a corner, there was a fork in the road ahead.

Li Wei went straight to the fork on the right, but Liu Fugui stopped him.

"You're walking the wrong way, take the left to get to Sanping Alley."

"I know!"

Li Wei turned around and pointed to the fork on the left and said: "But the inside has collapsed. The people in our class were working here at that time, and they were all buried. So we can only go to the right, and there is a detour on the right."

You can get to Sanping Alley.”

Liu Fugui was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then go to the right."

Just as Mo Shouchen was about to help Liu Fugui go to the right, Liu Fugui pulled his arm, then whispered in his ear: "Hey? Why is my leg suddenly hurting? Please help me find out what's going on."

What's going on?"

After speaking, he shouted to Li Wei: "Xiao Li, you go first, we will follow immediately."

Li Wei agreed, and then stepped into the fork on the right.

Mo Shouchen lowered his head and prepared to check Liu Fugui's leg injury, but Liu Fugui pulled him up and whispered: "Quick, let's go to the left!"

Mo Shouchen was puzzled. Didn't Li Wei say that the left side was blocked? Then why did he still go to the left?

Seeing that he was hesitant, Liu Fugui quickly explained in a low voice: "I can't listen to that guy named Li Wei. I just saw a red rope tied around his ankle. He is not alive at all!"

Not a living person?!

Hearing Liu Fugui say this, Mo Shouchen suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

But looking back on Li Wei's every move before, there seemed to be nothing unusual except for his silent appearance when they first met.

He asked doubtfully: "Why is it that if a red string is tied around one's ankle, one is no longer alive?"

Liu Fugui glanced at the fork on the right, and then explained:

"You are new here, and you don't know some things. We have a custom here. As long as a miner has an accident, we will tie a red rope around the ankle of the corpse. On the surface, it is to pray for blessings, but in fact..."

Halfway through, Liu Fugui swallowed his saliva because of nervousness, and then continued:

"Many of the miners here work in the mines because they are afraid of the village director. Everyone has some resentment in their hearts. In addition, they cannot see the sun underground every day, and they have a lot of yin energy."

"If you die suddenly, the accumulated resentment will probably come out to cause trouble under the instigation of Yin Qi, so the real purpose of tying a red rope is to ward off evil spirits and prevent the deceased from harming others."

This was the first time Mo Shouchen heard about the custom of tying red strings, and he hadn't noticed whether Li Wei had a red string tied around his ankle just now, so he wasn't sure whether what Liu Fugui said was true or not.

Seeing that he was a little doubtful, Liu Fugui added: "One more thing, I thought there was something wrong with the miner's uniform that Li Wei wore before. Now that I think about it, it was the style from ten years ago.

It will be eliminated and no one will wear it.”

Mo Shouchen recalled carefully, and it seemed that the miner's uniform Li Wei wore was really different from the one he wore, and he felt that Liu Fugui had no need to make up such lies to deceive himself.

In addition, the frightened expression on Liu Fugui's face was definitely not fake, so he had begun to believe Liu Fugui's words.

"If he wasn't human, what would he be..."

"Whoever he is, it's definitely not a good thing. Let's go quickly. If he finds out that we haven't followed him later, it will be troublesome to find him again!"

Liu Fugui urged, Mo Shouchen nodded, and quickly helped him walk into the fork on the left.

This alleyway is so narrow and short that sometimes you even have to bend down to avoid the rocks above your head. The aperture of your headlight sways back and forth on the stone wall with your footsteps, like a ghost running up and down, which makes people look at it.

feel dizzy.

Mo Shouchen was really afraid that when he turned a corner, a gloomy face would suddenly appear at the end of the light. If that happened, when they fled back, they would definitely be hit by a stone in the alleyway and their heads would be bloody.

Fortunately, this was all because he was scaring himself. When the exit appeared in front of him, he finally let go of his worries.

"You are right. There is indeed something wrong with that Li Wei. The road has not collapsed at all. He is lying!"

Walking out of the narrow alley, Mo Shouchen's heart suddenly became enlightened. Fortunately, Liu Fugui had a sharp eye and discovered that there was something wrong with Li Wei.

If I had just followed him and taken the fork on the right, I can't even imagine what would have happened next.

Liu Fugui also breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the right and said: "Go that way and it's three..."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Shouchen felt Liu Fugui's body tremble suddenly, as if he had seen something very terrifying...
