C28 Crying

In this quiet and evil place, the voice suddenly appeared, scaring me so much that my scalp tightened, and I suddenly stopped. Cold sweat also flowed down my back.

"Wuwu …"

The voice continued, sounding like a woman whimpering weakly. It was also like the unique wailing sound of a ghost in a horror movie. It was intermittent, and the sound was not loud, but it was very clear. The sound pierced through my eardrums and spread to my entire body, causing all the hairs on my body to stand on end. A feeling of horror filled every pore of my body.

What was it? Was it Qingzhi who was trapped in the cave and could not come out, or was it really a ghost?

The Thief Cat also turned its head around and stared at the big rock vigilantly.

If one were to say that the Thief Cat had a scale in its heart, one end of the scale would be to leave this place, and the other end would be to open the big rock and enter the cave. Just now, after a fierce internal struggle, the scale had leaned towards the "leave" side. However, when the wailing sound came out, the scale began to sway again.

Cats were originally animals with strong curiosity and boldness. Even ordinary cats would not be afraid of death when they encountered poisonous insects and pythons. The Thief Cat was smarter than ordinary cats, and it could think. However, curiosity and probing were inherent in its bones. It could not change it. I could see from its eyes that in the intermittent wailing, it hesitated again. In the end, a hint of novelty appeared in its eyes, and it slowly covered up its vigilance. I knew that this fellow was about to change its mind.

Sure enough, the Thief Cat finally returned. It turned around and ran back to the front of the big rock. It pulled open its stance and started to dig up the broken stones under the big rock. Its two thick and short claws danced quickly, and it was quite strong. In a short while, the broken stones mixed with the soil flew everywhere. After a while, the Thief Cat dug out a big pit under the big rock.

After digging out the pit, the Thief Cat called out to me twice. I knew that it was asking me to push the stone.

I realized that I was about the same as the Thief Cat. It clearly wanted to leave, but when it heard the crying, it hesitated again. It thought that the crying might have come from Qingzhi, and it sounded weaker and weaker. It seemed like it was about to die. If I left just like that, wouldn't I just watch it die?

The person who had locked Qingzhi in the cave might not be in there, or else he wouldn't be annoyed by Qingzhi's crying and not stop her. I went in with the Thief Cat and quickly left with Qingzhi. There should be nothing wrong.

With the hope in my heart, I returned to the front of the big rock.

The Thief Cat dug out a hole that was about half the size of the bottom of the big rock. The bottom half of the big rock was hanging in the air. As long as it was pushed lightly, the big rock would easily tilt to one side. This not only made me admire the intelligence of the Thief Cat, but it was also a cat. It might even be more intelligent than me.

I didn't need to spend much effort to push open the big rock. The big rock tilted, and a cold aura rushed to my face. A hole appeared in front of me.

The cave was not big, and it was only big enough for an adult to enter. Under the moonlight, I saw that the edge of the cave was very flat, as if it was man-made. Further in, it was pitch black, and the situation was unclear.

The Thief Cat looked at the cave and walked into it with its tail that was like a flagpole. Its hair was standing on end as it walked into the cave. It felt like it was trying to force itself into the cave.

I grabbed its tail and said softly, "Wait a moment."

The Thief Cat seemed to dislike me grabbing its tail. It let out a low roar and turned its head to bite my hand.

I was shocked and quickly retracted my hand. I thought to myself, Damn it. I had been taking care of it for the past few days when Second Uncle was not around. It could be considered a familiar person. This dog turned its back on me and refused to recognize its family. It was really a motherf*cking ingrate.

I cursed the Thief Cat in my heart, but I did not dare to show it on the surface. I said, "What will I do if you go in? It's so dark inside. I can't see."

The Thief Cat glared at me coldly, as if it was still angry at me for pulling its tail. After that, it ignored me and went into the cave. It quickly went into the darkness.

To be honest, I had been relying on the Thief Cat to strengthen my courage the entire night. Once it left, I felt like I had lost my backbone. My heart was in my throat. I wanted to chase after it, but the darkness inside made me hesitate. I wanted to call out to it, but I was afraid of attracting something bad. I stood alone at the entrance of the cave, standing in a strange place surrounded by mountains. It was as quiet as death. I was about to pee myself.

Just as I was regretting pulling the thief cat's tail and was at a loss for what to do, a black shadow jumped out of the cave. It was the thief cat. It came out again, holding something in its mouth. It walked in front of me and threw it under my feet. I looked at it carefully and found that it was actually a torch. The thief cat brought out a torch for me from the cave.

I picked up the torch. It was made of a simple wooden stick with a ball of oil wrapped around the top of the stick. It was also burning, but it was cold. It was not burning recently.

I frowned and looked at it carefully. Then, I asked the thief cat, "Did you see anyone?"

The thief cat shook its head.

"That's strange. There is a torch in the cave, which means that someone had entered the cave with a torch. In this dark place, light is as important as water in a desert. If that person didn't come out, why did he put out the torch? If he came out, why would he throw the torch in the cave?" I analyzed the situation with the thief cat. Then, my mind jolted, and I blurted out, "Could it be that the person who entered the cave didn't come out?"

After saying that, I looked at the dark and cold cave entrance. In my mind, I was thinking about the legend of the tomb in the Mountain Coffin. After the grave robbers went in, they all died mysteriously. My entire body was cold.

"Wuwu …"

The moaning sound in the cave was still there, but it was very weak. It was as if they no longer had the strength to cry. I made up my mind and said to the thief cat, "Go in. Quickly find Qingzhi and leave this place."

While I was talking, I touched my pocket and took out a lighter. I didn't smoke, and I didn't have the habit of carrying a lighter. I was glad that Mao Dazhi went to my house in the afternoon. I conveniently put the lighter in my pocket. I lit the torch and followed the thief cat into the cave.

The cave was narrow on one side and wide on the other, so I could straighten my back after walking for more than ten meters. While walking, I used the light of the torch to observe the situation inside the cave. The cave was not wide, and it was just a tunnel. The rocks on the walls were very smooth, and it was obvious that they were man-made. The torch was quite bright, and it could be seen far away, but it could not see the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was quite long, could it be that the ancient people had built a tomb in Mountain Coffin to cultivate?

I followed behind the thief cat and carefully walked in the cave for a few minutes. I didn't see Qingzhi, and the crying noises disappeared after we came in. This was not right. From the crying sounds, it should not be too deep in the cave. Why wasn't there anyone?

I muttered in my heart and walked for another two minutes. Qingzhi didn't find her, and a fork appeared in front of her!
