"This goes back to the incident with the cellar slaves."
Zhang Sinan said: "They were imprisoned in the cellar for three years, nearly a thousand days and nights. If it were you, could you survive it?"
Shu Wen and I were both stunned.
Shu Wen said: "Being locked up in such a small, damp and dark place, and having to be tortured by that demon, it doesn't matter if the time is short, these nearly a thousand days and nights... If it were me, I might not be able to endure it. "
I said, "Yes, a girl with a strong will is okay. If she is a weak-willed person, she will probably collapse and commit suicide. Isn't there a girl who committed suicide? There was also a girl who tried to escape and was killed by Zhou Changshun."
"Yes, I can say this. Even a strong-willed person would never survive two years in such an environment, but these five girls survived. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"It's not that they have a strong will. On the contrary, they thought about suicide countless times during this period and thought about dying with the devil."
"Sister, what is going on? What have they experienced?" I couldn't wait to ask.
"During the whole incident, everyone focused on the imprisoned girl and the devil, but have you ever thought that it was the cellar that played a decisive role in it?"
"What? The cellar? What happened to the cellar?"
"After Zhou Changshun was arrested, he suddenly turned into a mummy. Is it related to the cellar?" I suddenly thought of something.
What did Shu Wen think of? Her eyes widened.
"The fact that these five girls turned into mummies in the end is also related to the cellar where they were imprisoned?"
"But what's wrong with the cellar? Isn't it just a cave dug underground?"
We were both puzzled.
"Did you ever hear a saying?"
"There must be ghosts in the water a hundred feet deep, and there must be monsters in the ground a hundred feet deep." Zhang Sinan said.
It can be said that her words gave us a big hint.
I said: "Isn't the cellar where the girls were imprisoned not clean?"
Shu Wen also suddenly realized.
"They didn't find anything dirty in the cellar, did they?"
Zhang Sinan nodded.
"You guessed it right, I did encounter something."
"Is there a ghost in the cellar?" I said.
"Not a ghost, but much scarier than a ghost."
"Did you just say that there must be a demon in the next battle underground? They encountered a demon."
"Yes, it should be a demon, but I have never seen it. I only heard their descriptions, so I am not sure what it is?"
I was shocked.
"They were able to survive in the end because of that monster? What kind of monster was it?"
"If I said it was a fish, would you believe it?" Zhang Sinan said in surprise.
Shu Wen and I shook our heads at the same time.
"I don't believe it. If there are other monsters underground, I believe it. But if there are fish, it's impossible. Fish can only be in the water, not underground."
Even if you are a demon, you still have the nature of a demon.
For example, snake demons are mostly found in deep mountains and forests or underground.
For example, fox demons are also in caves or fox holes.
For example, water monsters and fish monsters must be in the water.
I don't really believe that there is a fish demon in the cellar.
Even if the fish demon can escape from the water and go to land after practicing to a certain extent, it will not be possible in a cellar more than ten meters deep underground.
Zhang Sinan added: "Not only is it a fish, but it is also a mermaid."
Shu Wen and I were even more surprised. I even wondered if Zhang Sinan was telling us a story?
After all, it’s hard to say whether those five girls were turned into mummies by her? Maybe she just made up a story to clear herself from suspicion.
"Don't worry, this matter is very bizarre, please listen to me slowly."
She took out another cigarette and lit it, took two puffs, collected her thoughts, and then began to tell.
She said that the demon Zhou Changshun imprisoned a total of seven girls, two of whom died, and the remaining five girls were suffering in the cellar.
Zhou Changshun would deliver meals to them once every two days. Every time he went to the cellar, he would beat and violate them.
They had chains around their ankles and collars around their necks.
In order to prevent them from escaping, Zhou Changshun would put away the folding ladder every time he left the cellar, and then cover the cellar entrance with a piece of iron and a stone on top.
That cellar is more than ten meters deep. Why was it dug so deep? Because the deeper the cellar is, the less likely people outside will hear the girls’ cries.
In fact, this is indeed the case. When several girls were first captured, they tried their best to call, but their voices were hoarse and no one heard them.
That night, Zhou Changshun went down to the cellar again. After torturing them, he stepped out on the ladder and then removed the ladder.
Just as he was about to cover the cellar entrance with an iron sheet, a villager suddenly came to the orchard and asked Zhou Changshun if he had something to do.
Zhou Changshun didn't have time to close the door of the cellar, so he hurried to the front.
The man seemed to have something urgent to do with Zhou Changshun, and the two of them left in a hurry after saying a few words.
After leaving, he didn't come back all night.
The girls sat in the cellar, looking at the small patch of blue sky through the uncovered cellar door.
There was moonlight that night and they saw it.
For the first time, Zhou Changshun did not block the entrance to the cellar, which gave them a glimmer of hope. However, the cellar was too high and they could not climb up without a ladder, and there were chains tied around their necks and ankles.
There is no way to escape.
They started shouting for help again.
Because the orchard is outside the village, few people come during the day, let alone at night. In addition, they have been tortured for a long time, and their bodies and voices are very weak. It is impossible for others to hear them.
They were finally disappointed, hugging each other and crying.
One girl said: "I can't stand it anymore. I want to commit suicide."
The other girl hugged her tightly: "We can't die, we have to get out alive."
"But we can't get out at all. The devil will torture us to death."
In the middle of the night, it suddenly started raining.
Raindrops fell from the cellar entrance into the cellar. The girls raised their heads greedily and let the rain drip on their faces.
But who would have thought that the rain would get heavier and heavier, and after more than an hour it would turn into heavy rain, and then from heavy rain to heavy rain, with lightning and thunder, and strong winds swaying.
Raindrops the size of soybeans pounded into the cellar, and the girls began to feel scared.
Because the terrain here in the orchard is relatively low, and when Zhou Changshun dug the cellar, there were no rainproof facilities at all.
So soon, the orchard was filled with rainwater, and the rainwater poured into the cellar.
It was like someone was holding a basin and pouring water into it.
The girls were terrified.
After a while, the water poured in reached their ankles, then their calves and knees.
They stood there in panic.
"What should we do? The water is coming in, will we be drowned?" a girl shouted.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, maybe the rain will stop soon." Another older girl comforted.
But not only did the rain not stop, it actually fell even harder.
The water reached their waists and finally reached their hearts.
The girls burst into tears.
"We're going to die, we're going to die."
They were all desperate.
"The worst we can do is die together." The girls stood in the water, held hands, and closed their eyes.
