Dad took me, Wei Rongrong and Dashu away from the crowd. He waved the flag, and the crowd began to move toward the light one after another.
"You've caused a big mess."
Dad frowned and looked at me, then suddenly smiled: "He's my son after all. By the way, we haven't seen each other for many years."
"It's been ten years." I said, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
Just as he was talking, Wei Rongrong and Dashuo came over to say hello and say hello to uncle.
Dashuo rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Boss Qin, I didn't expect your father to be in charge here. Great, we can escape from danger."
Dad said: "It's too late to say more, I'll send you away now."
He led us to the wall and with a stroke of his hand, an iron door appeared on the originally bare wall. Pulling it open, there is a dark corridor inside.
Dad said: "Lianlian, the occasion is not right today, so I won't say more to you. We will discuss some things in detail when we have the opportunity in the future. Also, don't talk about what happened to me here today. And you guys, just treat it like this." It was a dream.”
Dashuo almost knelt down, cursing and swearing that he would never tell anything about what happened here. As long as he can escape smoothly, he will burn incense and kowtow to his father every holiday.
Dad frowned: "Why are you cursing me? I'm not dead yet. Okay, okay, I won't say any more. You guys should leave as soon as possible. No one will be able to leave if it's too late!"
Dashuo was the first to get in, Wei Rongrong was the second, and I was at the bottom. Just as I was about to go in, my father grabbed me and winked.
I knew he had something to say, so I quickly stopped and asked in a low voice what was wrong.
Dad lowered his voice: "Lian Lian, what you broke in is the gate of hell, the passage between the world of heaven and the underworld. It is said that once you come here, you can't go back. Fortunately, you met me. Remember, after you go out, there is a tunnel outside. Don’t go, a carriage will come after a while, and the carriage can return the sun, but only one person can sit in the carriage. You can find a way to get in the carriage and go back alone."
I was startled, my heart pounding, "Dad, there are three of us..."
"Only one can go out!" Dad said in a stern tone: "The driver of the carriage is the ferryman. If you tell him that you are my son, he will naturally take you out. But one more person won't do!"
My mind is in turmoil, I can only live for one!
Dad patted me on the shoulder: "That's all, you think about it. You have grown up and have your own thoughts. Okay, it's time for me to go back."
He turned around and left. Looking at his back, I couldn't explain how I felt.
The two men had been separated for nearly ten years. They didn't expect to meet again under such strange circumstances. They hadn't had time to chat about their current situation, and they didn't even leave their contact information.
I gritted my teeth, looked at his back again, and then got into the iron door.
As soon as I entered, the door closed behind me, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
I didn't move forward, but touched the door behind me in the dark. I couldn't touch anything, just a wall and no door.
It seemed that it was impossible to go back, so I had to bite the bullet and move forward.
The passage was very narrow, and I couldn't straighten my waist while walking. I was out of breath after walking for a while. I practiced boy kung fu when I was a child. Since my grandfather passed away, no one has been watching me. Now I am herding sheep every day, flipping black and white and playing games on my mobile phone. I feel that if I continue to abuse it like this, my good health will be ruined.
I secretly made up my mind that after I get through this wave of disaster, I will definitely pick up my kung fu and strengthen my body to prepare for emergencies.
After walking for a short time, there was light outside and I emerged from the passage.
In front of him was a huge dark cave with no clear path to the front and back. It looked like a mountain tunnel built deep in the mountains.
We stood on the steps. In the middle of the cave was a straight road, coming from the darkness and extending into the darkness. Except for the three of us, no one else could be seen, only the endless sound of wind.
I looked at the two of them, and Dashuo and Wei Rongrong were also looking at me.
I decided to tell them what my father said at the end, that you can’t be so careless in life.
If I escape alone without telling them, even if I get out, I will live in the shadow of guilt for the rest of my life. I know my own character too well.
I said: "I want to tell you something..."
They both stared at me.
I repeated what my father said: "Now only one of the three of us can leave. What I mean is, let Rongrong go. She is a girl after all. What do you mean, Dashuo?"
I thought Dashuo was from a gangster background and would definitely not suffer such a disadvantage. Who knew that he was silent for a moment and said: "Okay! Boss Qin, in fact, we have all heard what your father said to you just now. Even if you don't say it, We don’t care about anything, it’s natural for you to escape. Now that you can speak frankly, I, Dashuo, admire you, you are an open-minded person!”
I smiled: "It's boring to talk about this. I didn't expect that our brothers would go through this last journey together. We met by chance and it is fate to die together."
Dashuo smiled: "Anyway, I don't have to rush to live, so that's good."
Wei Rongrong looked at me and then at Dashuo, tears streaming down her face.
"You see how excited my sister-in-law is." Dashuo said.
Wei Rongrong cried and said: "Have you asked me for my opinion? What do you think of me? Are all of them straight men?"
"Isn't it better to let you escape?" I was speechless.
"I don't want to leave! I know you can't leave, Brother Qin, so let Brother Shuo go." Wei Rongrong looked at me: "I want to walk the last journey of my life with you."
Dashuo touched his body, took out a pack of cigarettes, and handed one to me: "Sister-in-law, you said that, you stayed here to die, and I ran away. What does this mean? Even if I escape, I have to let you go." A man would break his spine. Sanleizi knew that I would do such a thing and he could break my legs."
I laughed: "Then the three of us won't leave?"
In the dark depths of the tunnel, there was suddenly a crunching sound like the sound of wheels being lowered, as well as the snoring of horses.
The ferryman's carriage has arrived.
