result……
When Shen Xingwan reached the end of the "dead end" again, he was dumbfounded and had to turn back and embark on the path chosen by the boy again.
Two hours had passed when they arrived at the third fork in the road. As expected, Shen Xingwan saw the mark left by the boy again.
She looked at the "Y" and hesitated for a long time, and a terrible idea popped into her mind.
Shen Xingwan set foot on the road that the young man had marked, and successfully arrived at the fourth intersection, the fifth intersection, the sixth intersection...
There were no circles on the signs for each intersection, which meant that the boy made the right choice every time between the two options. If this was just based on luck, it would be unreasonable for him not to win the lottery.
If it wasn't luck, there was only one possibility left.
That is, the boy had already obtained the map of the tunnel and knew clearly which road was the way to life and which was the way to a dead end, so he could choose the right road every time.
Similarly, in other words, the young man deliberately proposed to split the troops into two groups in order to reach the exit first, leave the tunnel before her, and get rid of her completely.
Shen Xingwan felt a chill in his heart.
When Shen Xingwan followed the signs and successfully arrived at the fifteenth intersection, his heart was already cold.
She was now almost certain that Young Master White had a map of this tunnel.
The plan to rescue Third Uncle by increasing the favorability of Young Master White is obviously not feasible.
The good news is that this young master White has some conscience and pointed out every path to her. At least she can follow these signs and find the exit smoothly.
When we reached the eighteenth intersection, the flashlight flickered, and when it came on again, the light was obviously much dimmer than before.
Seeing this, Shen Xingwan's heart was filled with alarm.
In her experience, this flashlight could only last for half an hour at most, and her backup flashlight broke when she fell.
How much of the road ahead is still unknown.
The tunnel was closed and without light. There was firewood to make a fire at the place where they started, but when they got here, there was nothing but a bare corridor.
Moreover, the tunnel was dark and damp, with snakes and insects slithering through it from time to time. Without a flashlight, everything was unknown, including the unknown dangers and even more terrifying things...
A day and a night had passed since the departure. On the way, Shen Xingwan only ate some grilled dried fish and drank some condensed water, without even closing his eyes.
Even though she was exhausted, she still had to force herself to move forward. She had to reach the exit before the flashlight ran out of battery, otherwise...
Shen Xingwan didn't dare to think further.
The flashlight flickered more and more frequently, and the light became dimmer and dimmer.
With a "click" sound, the flashlight dimmed again and did not light up again.
Shen Xingwan tightened his grip on the flashlight.
Oh no!
As time passed, everything around seemed to have changed. The darkness was like a big hand, gradually engulfing Shen Xingwan.
Shen Xingwan is afraid of the dark. Every time she is in the dark, she will think of the scene when she was kidnapped when she was five years old.
Everyone thought that she woke up after her mommy arrived, but that was not the case.
She was already awake when she was kidnapped by Aunt Su Xin and taken into the cabin.
She watched with her own eyes as Aunt Su Xin chopped off the chicken's neck with a knife, scattered the chicken blood all over the room, and drew strange symbols.
The smell of blood and the woman's crazy face left an indelible shadow on the young Shen Xingwan's heart.
Even after growing up, Shen Xingwan would still dream about this scene and wake up from it in shock.
If it was pitch black all around her, she would fall into a nightmare and tremble uncontrollably.
So she always leaves a night light on when she goes to bed.
As long as there is a ray of light, she can distinguish between nightmares and reality.
She never told these to her mom and dad because she was afraid they would worry and blame themselves.
The longer she stayed in the darkness, the heavier Shen Xingwan's body became. Fear seemed to have claws, climbing up Shen Xingwan's body little by little, entwining her feet and tying her up.
She knew that the exit was not far away, and as long as she continued to follow the signs, she would be able to get out.
But her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move forward.
Time passes by every second.
Shen Xingwan's heart grew colder little by little.
She tried hard at first but gave up later and finally collapsed on the ground, curled up herself and imagined herself as a snail that could crawl into its shell.
Psychological barriers are like this. You know that you must overcome this hurdle, but when you actually put it into practice, it feels like there is a chasm blocking your way and making it impossible to move forward.
She was too confident. She shouldn't have gone out on the mission alone without overcoming her psychological barriers.
Now not only did her mission fail, she was unable to rescue her third uncle from the White family, but she also lost her life, causing her family to be sad and upset.
I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly there was a rustling sound in the tunnel.
Could it be a snake?
An idea flashed through Shen Xingwan's dull mind.
But even if there was a snake, she couldn't move and could only bury her head deeper.
The rustling sound was getting closer and closer, almost at hand.
Shen Xingwan closed his eyes tightly and laughed at himself in his heart.
This kind of snake that lives underground is generally very poisonous. If you are bitten by it, you will quickly become paralyzed and lose consciousness due to the poison. This is better than being killed by poison gas.
A hissing sound was heard in my ears.
Shen Xingwan shivered subconsciously.
However, the imagined pain did not occur, but instead a slightly rapid breathing sound was heard not far away.
"I was wondering why I haven't seen anyone after waiting for so long. By this time, sows would climb trees and iron trees would bloom, but you are just being lazy here!" A familiar voice sounded.
Shen Xingwan suddenly opened her eyes and saw a white light in the distance breaking through the long darkness and illuminating everything around her.
The sudden light made Shen Xingwan unable to open her eyes. After adapting for a while, she finally recovered.
The snake at my feet was cut into two pieces by a dagger. Its tail was still twitching convulsively, but it could no longer cause any harm.
The flashlight light got closer and closer, and finally reached her side, enveloping her in reassuring light.
"You, didn't leave first?" Shen Xingwan asked in surprise.
The young man's eyebrows twitched. "Do you think my reputation as Young Master White is so worthless?"
After saying that, he clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly: "Also, I don't want to be remembered by an Angora rabbit for the rest of my life because I'm just a puppy."
Shen Xingwan: ...
Seeing Shen Xingwan kept her head raised and stared at him intently.
The young man avoided her gaze uncomfortably and extended a hand towards Shen Xingwan who was curled up in the corner.
"The poison gas will be released in less than an hour. How long do you plan to be lazy?"
