Hua Cong maintained the same posture and listened carefully. After confirming that there was no other voice, she tentatively opened the iron door.
The surroundings were pitch black, and there was no breath of life except himself.
Hua Cong coughed twice.
The cough echoed in the empty night, and no other suspicious sounds were heard.
Hua Cong tiptoed through the back door and entered the main hall of the ancestral hall. The moment she turned behind the statue, the familiar iron cage appeared in front of her.
The six little girls were huddled together tightly in the cage. Some of them had tears on their little faces, but the six of them were extremely consistent in not yelling or making any fuss, and just clung to their companions.
Hua Cong's legs were a little numb, so she held her belly and limped towards the girls.
"You...who are you!"
The little girl who spoke, wearing a somewhat torn yellow dress, grabbed the cage and asked hesitantly.
"Miaomiao and I are friends," Hua Cong looked at the timid little girl and smiled, "I'm here to help you."
"Then when will Sister Miaomiao come to us?" A petite girl wearing a pink coat asked, "She said she would come and let us out..."
As soon as these words came out, the girl in a green coat standing behind the girl in pink clothes immediately tugged at the corner of her clothes to signal her to shut up.
"It's almost... it's almost..." Hua Cong looked around vigilantly, then looked at the children after confirming safety, "Don't be afraid, I will leave with you."
"Sister Miaomiao didn't tell us that there was anyone else." The little girl in the green coat squeezed to the front and asked.
Before Hua Cong said anything, Xiao Lan was confused.
How did such an alert little girl get abducted?
Hearing this, the girl in pink clothes nodded quickly and shrank behind the girl in green clothes, grabbed her arm and asked, "Yes, yes, yes! Sister Miaomiao never said that!"
Hua Cong blinked and stared at the two girls.
Xiaolan also exclaimed a little in her heart.
Just now, the two of them looked shabby, so they didn't notice it. But now, upon closer inspection, they actually look exactly the same.
They must be twins!
Xiaolan has a new guess as to why a girl as alert as Green Jacket was abducted.
"You are……"
"Sister Huacong?!"
A low exclamation sounded from the door.
Miaomiao looked around, then hesitantly walked towards the flowers and the little girls in the cage. In her hand was a big rusty key.
"Miaomiao..."
"Sister Hua Cong, why are you here?" Miaomiao gasped, "Didn't you say we should split up? Did something happen?"
"Sister Miaomiao!..."
"Sister Miaomiao is here..."
"Sister Miao Miao..."
When the girls saw the panting Miaomiao, they all became excited and made big and small calls.
"Shh!..."
The two of them made silent gestures to the girls at the same time, and the children quickly covered their mouths upon seeing this.
"There was a little accident, but it doesn't matter." Hua Cong showed a weak smile and reached out to stroke Miaomiao's head. "I'll come over and watch you leave. If I leave again, it's the same. Just act quickly."
Without further ado, everyone moved quickly. Miaomiao quickly opened the door of the iron cage, and Huacong took the children out one by one. Although they had experienced everything terrible, the children were still alive and well.
The girl in green and pink were always holding each other's hands tightly. Hua Cong looked at them with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Thank you, Sister Hua Cong." The girl in green said softly, then turned her head away in embarrassment.
So cute.
Hua Cong subconsciously touched her belly.
"Sister Hua Cong, are you really okay?" Miao Miao stared at Hua Cong's movements and frowned, "You look a little weak."
Hua Cong shook his head vigorously, took out the last girl, and gathered the children around Miaomiao. "You guys go quickly, don't turn on the lights, don't talk, be careful."
Miaomiao and the children nodded obediently.
"Goodbye, Sister Huacong!" The girl in pink waved to Huacong.
"See you at the bottom of the mountain, I'll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain," Hua Cong said, "Be careful."
The seven small figures gradually merged into the night, and the flowers leaned against the back door of the ancestral hall, watching them disappear from sight.
The smile disappeared.
This is not a time to relax.
The real experience is finally about to begin.
Hua Cong was a little tired and rested against the door for a few minutes. He estimated that the children had run away, so he started to prepare for his escape.
Uneasiness surrounded her.
The heartbeat began to accelerate, and Xiaolan also fell into the same nervousness.
Hua Cong walked quietly to the main entrance of the ancestral hall. The night was extremely dark, and Lianshui Village seemed to have turned into a dead village, with no trace of people and no light.
But this is exactly what Hua Cong wants.
Under the moonlight, the flowers crossed the path in the middle of the village and plunged into the dense woods next to it.
My ears were filled with the chirping of birds that I had startled. In the extremely silent night of the night, the flowers were running alone. I did not hear the sound of pursuit, only my own breathing and heartbeat accompanied me.
Run a little faster...
Soon, I will see my sister...
Looking at such darkness, Xiaolan suddenly realized that the scene here was different from the dream.
The escape in the dream took place in the afternoon before the light dimmed, but now it is late at night, and...
Xiaolan used Hua Cong's eyes to observe her surroundings.
Moreover, this is not the forest that I saw in my dream.
Even on such a night, Xiaolan could still say with certainty that this forest was not the forest in her dreams.
The emerald green plant world in the dream, the feeling as if soaked in oxygen, the breath is moist.
That is not the memory of flowers.
Xiaolan understood something.
That is your own memory.
However, the cause of his death in the dream was consistent with the cause of Hua Cong's death described by others, which meant that Hua Cong might be about to fall into a deep pit.
You might be able to prevent this from happening.
Xiaolan tried to arouse her will, hoping to have some influence on Hua Cong's body.
What kind of existence do you have here?
How to do?
"ah!"
Hua Cong's scream interrupted Xiaolan's thinking. Before Xiaolan could react, she yelled "No!"
A sharp pain rose from his ankle, and Hua Cong's body tilted to one side.
That's too late……
The familiar feeling of falling...
The surroundings suddenly turned into complete darkness.
Xiaolan felt as if she was floating, her body had no weight, she could not see or touch it.
Could it be that I am actually such a kind of existence?
"You know what happens next, right..."
The sound of flowers is faint.
it's over……
"I...I can't save you." Xiaolan forced her voice out, and even felt that the voice was a bit strange.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaolan."
In this void, there seemed to be a pair of hands on Xiaolan's back, pushing her forward.
"Next, go and see me now."
