Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 109 Chapter 109
The black iron door was opened.

A dark hole appeared in front of them, accompanied by an unpleasant smell.

After a while, after the smell dissipated a bit, the darkness was illuminated a little, and it could be seen that this was a ladder going down, and only a few steps could be seen, and more were still hidden in the darkness.

"Light a torch, light a few more."

After Mu Yu finished speaking, someone nodded and went outside to make torches.

Although they didn't intend to spend the night outside this time, they were always prepared for unexpected situations. Besides, they were outside in the winter, and they might have to light a bonfire to keep warm during the day, so it didn't take much effort to do this. The man came back with three torches.

Mu Yu and Yang Erlang each took a torch and took a photo into the entrance of the cave. They could see more steps, but they could only see the steps.

Mu Yu looked at Yang Erlang and said,

"Looking at it this way, we'll have to go down there to find out what's in there."

Yang Erlang nodded.

Indeed, it was fine when he couldn't find a place, but now that he found a place and opened the door, it didn't make sense to retreat at this time, and he must go down.

Mu Yu thought for a while, looked at the other eight people who came with them, and ordered,

"You two go to wait in the yard, and after an hour, return to Taoyuan Village no matter what happens.

The two of you stand guard at the entrance of the cave. If we don't come out after an hour, come down and have a look alone.

You four, come down with us. "

The eight people nodded in unison.

Mu Yu asked them to find sticks and other tools for self-defense, and then walked down the stairs two by two.

Yang Erlang and another person holding a torch walked in the front, Mu Yu walked in the middle, and one of the last two people also held a torch.

They walked cautiously into the darkness, and Mu Yu could only hear their tentative footsteps and slightly nervous breathing.

Fortunately, with the illumination of the torches, the progress was smooth.

"This roof is really high, and the place is so big..."

Zhao Ersan, who was walking beside Mu Yu, sighed softly.

Mu Yu felt the same sigh in her heart, this place was bigger than she thought, it was as if a rich family's grand courtyard had been moved underground.

It is not easy to build such a house on the ground, let alone underground?

What the hell is in here?
The more he walked in, the more curious Mu Yu became.

It's a pity that the light of the torches is limited, and can only illuminate a small area. They walked along the road, except for the narrow road, which was an open space, and the walls were just stone walls, with no mural decorations. They have been walking straight forward now.

Because I walked slowly, even if I walked for a while, I guess I didn't walk too far.

After walking out for a while, Yang Erlang who was walking in front suddenly said,

"Did you smell a smell, a stink?"

Before Mu Yu had time to speak, he heard the people behind him say,
"Yes, I smelled it from the very beginning. It's the smell of a latrine. It smells worse than the newly dug latrine in our village. Isn't there a big latrine underneath?"

Mu Yu was thoughtful, of course it wouldn't be a latrine, but it was true that there was a latrine smell.

Are there any living things in here?
It is very possible, and almost certain, and there is a high probability that it is a human being.

Mu Yu told everyone about this conclusion, and they were all a little surprised.

"There are people living here? How is that possible?"

"Yeah, why do people live down here, there's nothing to eat, nothing to drink..."

"That's not the way to think about it. They even dug out such a big cellar, so why can't they store food for the next three to five years?"

This is true, so everyone stopped talking.

Although I still didn't believe it, I had some mental preparations, so when I heard the rustling and the crying of the child in the dark, I was just startled, and didn't run away directly.

"Oh my god, there seems to be someone really..."

Someone said in a trembling voice.

Yang Erlang signaled them to stop, carefully judged the direction of the voice, and then shouted in that direction,
"Is there anyone in there?

Don't be afraid, we are nearby villagers, come out and we won't hurt you. "

Even though they yelled like that, they were quite prepared. They didn't mean to hurt others, but that didn't mean others didn't either.

Moreover, the people imprisoned here may be vicious people, or poor people imprisoned innocently, it may be one of them, or both, this is not contradictory.

They stopped here and listened to the sound with bated breath. After Yang Erlang shouted, the rustling footsteps disappeared, but the crying of the child was still there, but it sounded from a distance away.

The bottom here is probably bigger than what they saw.

They waited for a while, and shouted a few more words, but there was no sound at all.

Yang Erlang led the crowd to continue walking in the previous direction.

In an unfamiliar environment, it is easy to get lost, not to mention that it is not easy to get useful information. If you walk in the same direction, you can know how wide it is, and it is not easy to get lost when you return.

After all, there was nothing outrageous here, and they still reached the end of the road.

The closer to the end, the rougher the place, and the lighter the traces of man-made ax chiseling. In the end, it directly turned into a big cave, or a karst cave.

It seemed that one moment I was still in the house, and the next moment I was suddenly in the wild, which felt quite shocking.

Mu Yu was shocked for a long time before he realized it, and then he heard Yang Erlang say,
"In the beginning, the cave was discovered, and then the dark room was built according to the terrain. In order to conceal the existence of the dark room, the manor was built.

This manor may exist for the purpose of imprisoning certain people.

But as far as I know, this estate has existed for at least several decades. "

Everyone felt a chill behind them, which meant that the people inside might have been imprisoned for decades?

It's terrible, what kind of hatred and what kind of resentment.

"Having been imprisoned here for decades, can people still survive?"

The voice of the person who said this trembled a little, obviously thinking of something terrible.

This question stopped everyone else.

That's right, even if you don't consider food and drink, can you really live for decades if you lock people in this dark and cold underground room?
This is a problem.

But before they could figure it out, the rustling sound that had disappeared before reappeared.

Moreover, it sounds like they are very close to them, and are tentatively approaching them.

The light of the torch shook violently a few times. I don't know if it was blown by the wind or the person holding the torch lost his hand, or for some other reason.

For a moment, everyone's bodies froze.

Mu Yu, who came to his senses first, coughed twice, and said in a low voice,
"Here he comes, cheer up."
