Chapter 208 The Alley That Can't Go Out
Liu Fugui looked around and said "Hey" first, and then Mo Shouchen felt his body tremble suddenly.
"How is this possible? We...we are back!"
Mo Shouchen didn't quite understand what he meant, so he asked, "You're back? Where are you back to?"
"You...look back." Liu Fugui's voice was trembling.
Mo Shouchen turned around in confusion, and then he couldn't help but take a breath of air.
He saw two forks in the road behind him, and they looked very familiar. Isn't this the place where he and Li Wei parted ways just now?
They actually returned to their original place.
Mo Shouchen still asked with luck: "Is it possible that there are two forks at the exit of this alleyway?"
Liu Fugui shook his head: "When I walked into the alley just now, I was stung by the stone at the entrance. Look, it's this stone."
As he said that, he pointed to an angular stone at his feet. It seemed that they were really walking back.
"Brother Liu, how about we try walking again?"
Mo Shouchen didn't want to give up, but Liu Fugui shook his head in despair, and then murmured: "It's useless, he won't let us go."
Mo Shouchen was still unwilling to give in. He helped Liu Fugui to the side and sat down. Then he mustered up the courage to walk to the alley on the right, intending to take a look at what was going on inside.
He stood at the entrance of the tunnel on the right and looked inside. The beam of the miner's lamp was swallowed up by the darkness inside less than ten meters away. This was completely inconsistent with the high-concentration characteristics of the miner's lamp. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with this road.
But the right lane cannot be walked, and the left lane is impassable. So what should we do next? Should we go back to the main lane and wait for rescue?
Mo Shouchen didn't want to go back. To him, nothing was more terrifying than working as a coolie in a black coal kiln for eight years.
So he must find the abandoned mine tunnel Liu Fugui mentioned and then leave here.
He looked back at Liu Fugui, perhaps because he was frightened. Liu Fugui looked confused and kept mumbling something, as if he had a mental problem.
Liu Fugui's current state was obviously not suitable for him to be taken with him, so Mo Shouchen decided to leave him here first and come back to find him after he found a way out.
Mo Shouchen walked into the alleyway on the left again. This time, without Liu Fugui to hinder him, he quickly completed the entire alleyway.
But after coming out, he found that he was back to the original place, and Liu Fugui, who he had left here just now, was gone.
Liu Fugui's leg was injured and he couldn't go far in such a short time, but Mo Shouchen didn't see him nearby.
Was he kidnapped by Li Wei when he left?
"Ta...ta...ta..."
Just when Mo Shouchen was extremely confused, the echo of footsteps suddenly came from the alley on the right, and someone was walking towards this direction.
Liu Fugui's leg was injured, and the sound of his walking could not be so regular, so the footsteps could only belong to one person, and that was Li Wei.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but the alleyway on the left was impassable. In desperation, Mo Shouchen could only choose to run back.
He had barely rested that night, so when he ran now, he felt as if his legs were filled with lead and he couldn't run fast at all.
When he reached the main tunnel, Mo Shouchen couldn't run anymore. He held on to the mine wall and gasped for air. At the same time, he looked back to see if Li Wei had caught up.
However, there was nothing behind him, and Li Wei was not seen.
There was deathly silence in the dim mine, and Mo Shouchen could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat.
Seeing that Li Wei didn't come after him, he was exhausted and simply sat down on the ground.
He had to take a rest, otherwise he would be exhausted before he was killed by the ghost.
Sitting on the ground, Mo Shouchen was breathing heavily while thinking about everything that had just happened, and his eyes were watching the surroundings warily.
Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the stone that held Liu Fugui down before. He saw something seemed to be under the stone, but because of the angle, he couldn't see clearly what it was.
In order to see more clearly, Mo Shouchen stood up from the ground, and then cautiously walked towards the stone.
As the distance got closer, he finally saw clearly what was underneath the stone.
But it didn't matter at this glance, he felt that the blood in his body solidified instantly.
Because he saw that there were two legs exposed under the huge stone.
In other words, there is a person underneath that rock!
When he rescued Liu Fugui before, Mo Shouchen was sure that he was the only one under the stone, but why was there another one now?
Someone couldn't pry up the rock and drill in, right?
wrong!
Now think about it, if such a heavy stone falls down, it will cause death or disability. How could Liu Fugui only hurt his feet?
So Mo Shouchen felt that there was only one possibility, that is, Liu Fugui had actually been stoned to death long ago, and he was not able to rescue him at all.
And the two legs now exposed outside the stone are his body.
But if that's the case, then who is this person who has been with Mo Shouchen all this time...
