Wei Yifu seemed to have had a long and bizarre nightmare.
In the dream, he died in this bottomless cave, and his blood soaked the dry grass beneath him.
After a long time, the people from the cadre school finally showed up.
They hung his stiff body with a rope and pulled it up little by little.
His soul floated in the air, watching the familiar yet unfamiliar body slowly ascend, like an enlightened master ascending to immortality...
He, who only believed in Marxism-Leninism, felt shocked and terrified at this moment.
It turns out that souls really do exist.
He followed the body all the way back to the cadre school, where he saw people weeping and burying him in a thin coffin. They also built a tombstone for him with paulownia wood.
As a new ghost, he stood in front of his own grave, at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"Old Wei?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him. He turned his head and saw Qin Sijun looking at him with sadness and pity.
"well……"
After a moment, Qin Sijun sighed deeply and said, "Forget it, forget it. Everyone will die one day. On the road to the underworld, we two old friends can keep each other company!"
He was confused for a moment, and finally remembered.
Yes, Qin Sijun died. Before winter, he died of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage.
When he died, all seven orifices bled, which was so miserable.
"Old Qin, do you think there is an afterlife?"
Wei Yifu was unwilling to accept this. He didn't even see his wife and children for the last time. He was unwilling to die like this!
Qin Sijun looked confident.
"There definitely is an afterlife! And Old Wei, let me tell you, in the next life, we'll definitely be able to wait for our savior!"
"In the next life, when we are in danger again, a savior will surely descend from the sky to save us!"
…
At this moment, Wei Yifu woke up in great pain and was unable to move.
He lay on the dry grass, looking at the bright light above his head, and the words Qin Sijun said in the dream kept appearing in his mind.
"A savior will surely descend from heaven to save us."
Even though it was an empty dream, at this moment, it had become the last straw that supported Wei Yifu to persevere.
He can't die!
The food problem in the cadre school had not been solved, the task assigned to him by his superiors had not been completed, and the promise he made to reunite with his wife and children had not been fulfilled.
How could he die with so many regrets in his life?
Heavy snow drifted in from the cave entrance and fell on Wei Yifu's face like drops of tears.
"Here! There's a hole here! Everyone, be careful!"
Suddenly, a clear sound floated faintly in this lifeless cave, like the sound of nature.
Wei Yifu’s eyes suddenly widened, as if... as if Lin Wanjun was talking?
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but the sound was gone.
After a moment, he let out a self-deprecating laugh.
I was so desperate to stay alive that I even hallucinated Lin Wanjun's voice.
How could Lin Wanjun appear here in this snowy place?
Moreover, Lin Wanjun had already left the cadre school, and she left with anger and disappointment under his embarrassment and coercion.
Thinking of this, Wei Yifu closed his eyes slightly.
He knew very well how excessive and hurtful what he did was, but there was really nothing he could do.
In special times, if we want to take the overall situation into consideration, someone has to make sacrifices.
Unfortunately, Lin Wanjun was the innocent victim who was sacrificed.
"What? You said Wei Yifu fell in here?"
Qin Sijun's loud voice interrupted Wei Yifu's thoughts. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his originally desperate eyes.
"Nine out of ten, they're trapped here. I'm very familiar with the terrain around here. The only place that could trap a living person is this deep cave."
Another male voice came from outside, which sounded a little unfamiliar. Wei Yifu couldn't figure out who the other person was.
But judging from the accent, he should be a local who is familiar with the terrain.
"Xiao Lin, we must not trust him so easily!"
Wang Chuang cried out, "He has a criminal record. What if he's out for revenge and we're tricked into a cave and can't get out?"
"Besides, this deep cave is far from the main road. Even if Principal Wei is stupid, he wouldn't get trapped here!"
Wei Yifu was extremely anxious.
He tried his best to make a sound for help, but in the end, the sound he could make was weaker than that of a sick cat, and no one above him could hear him.
The footsteps seemed to gradually fade away.
Wei Yifu, who had just seen hope, felt a blackout before his eyes and almost vomited blood.
Why didn't you believe the local fellow's words? His judgment was correct. There was indeed a living person in this deep cave!
Who is that kind fellow?
If he could return to the cadre school alive, he would definitely thank his savior!
Just when Wei Yifu thought there was no hope, there was movement again.
Qin Sijun's voice sounded a little helpless.
"Xiao Lin, why didn't you just turn around and come back? We've already searched this place!"
"Uncle Qin, since we've chosen him as our guide, we have to trust his judgment. So I still think we have to go down and search in person!"
Lin Wanjun said firmly, "I'm the lightest. Use the rope to lower me down!"
"no!"
Qin Sijun didn't even think about refusing.
"Even if you go down the cave, I can't let you take any risks. What if there are hibernating wolves or poisonous snakes in there?"
Wang Chuang volunteered, raised his hand and said, "I'll do it. I'm not afraid of snakes!"
Lin Wanjun refused Wang Chuang's request and said firmly, "No, the rope may not be able to bear your weight. I'll go down first!"
Wei Yifu's body could no longer support him, but his strong desire to survive made him dare not close his eyes, for fear of missing his last chance.
With his eyes wide open, he held his breath and looked towards the cave entrance.
First, there was a small avalanche, as if someone was clearing the snow at the entrance of the cave.
Soon, a figure began to slowly descend along the cave entrance.
"Xiao Lin, how are you? If anything unusual happens, be sure to notify us immediately. We'll pull you up at any time!"
Wang Chuang's anxious and worried voice came from outside.
Lin Wanjun, who was hanging in the air and slowly descending, was calm and composed.
"I'm fine, just let go!"
Wei Yifu looked up at the slender figure hanging in the air, listening to the familiar female voice, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Look at what stupid things he has done!
In order to consider the overall situation, he did not hesitate to hurt the innocent Lin Wanjun.
But even so, Lin Wanjun still risked her life to go down the cave to save him. How could he have the face to face this righteous and sensible young girl!
As the rope descended little by little, Lin Wanjun gradually adapted to the dim light in the deep cave.
When she could vaguely see the ground, she turned on the flashlight.
The beam of light swept across every corner of the cave. Lin Wanjun held the rope in one hand and held a flashlight in the other to carefully examine the situation.
The beam of light swept across a pile of dead grass and quickly left. The next moment, the beam returned.
After a brief pause, Lin Wanjun suddenly shouted.
"Principal Wei! It's Principal Wei! He's here!"
