Chapter 115 (1/2)
Out of the back door of the small wooden building is a gully. The ditch is full of rotten leaves, and I don't know how deep it is. People with jungle life experience will walk around this ditch when they see it, otherwise they may never climb out again if they step on it with one foot.
Hanbo escorted the madman up the gravel road at the edge of the gully to a mountain wall. The mountain wall is very hidden. In addition to the medicine pickers, there are not many people coming to the mountain. In addition, there is a gully in front of the road, and a small wooden building has been built in front of the gully. If you don't pass through the wooden building, you can only get here from the cliff of liangmianshan.
There is a cave on the left side of the mountain wall, and a large iron door is installed at the entrance.
When the madman saw the iron door, he cried out with great pain. It seemed that he saw something that frightened him very much.
Some voices came faintly from the cave, like the cry of people and the roar of wild animals.
Hanbo took out the key, opened the lock on the iron door and brought the madman in.
The cave was full of twists and turns, and soon it was dark.
Hanbo took out his flashlight to light up and led the way in front. The other three people carried the madman forward.
The voice in the cave was loud and clear. It was a human cry.
”What's the noise? It makes me irritable!”
Hambo scolded and flashed forward.
In the light of the flashlight, you can see a river in front. There are many iron cages hanging on the cave wall by the river. Half of the cage is immersed in water and half is exposed. You can see that some cages are empty and some cages are occupied. The cry came from someone's cage and echoed in the cave.
Hambo went to an empty cage, opened the door with a key and asked someone to shut the madman in. At this time, the madman seemed to have accepted his fate. He didn't make a sound. He obediently entered the cage, grabbed the iron bar with both hands and soaked half his body in the water.
A man in a cage nearby shouted, ”Hambo! You're not a thing! What are you doing here? Let me out!”
Hanbo said impatiently, ”hanlai, you scream fiercely! If you call again, I won't send you food.”
Hanlaizi begged him, ”Lord Hanbo! We are our own people. Why did you close me?”
Han Bo said, ”your boy can't accomplish anything but fail! If you hadn't offended Shi for the sake of a crazy mother-in-law, how could you harm the medicine woman?”
Han laizi said, ”I didn't know it would be like that! Haven't you done it before? There's no accident!”
Han Bo said, ”can it be the same? You are the people of yuziba. Don't you know what the surname Shi is?”
Hanlaizi cried sadly, ”I know it's wrong! Lord Hanbo, you let me out and ask me to do anything!”
Han laizi's father and his brothers were locked in several cages nearby. They all begged Han Bo: ”Han Bo, they are all our own family! You can't do this to us!”
Hanbo said, ”it's not that I want to lock you up. It's the medicine woman who said something. She's angry now. When her anger disappears in two days, I'll beg her to let you go.”
Han laizi cried, ”well, you should change me to a cleaner cave. The cage is full of water. I can't sleep if I want to sleep. I'll rot in another two days!”
Han Bo said, ”when the water level drops down, you can lie down and sleep. But don't blame me for not warning you. Now the water level hasn't risen. When the water rises, you can only show your nostrils to breathe.”
He then locked the madman's cage, turned back and left, leaving only Han laizi and their cries echoing in the darkness behind him.
One of the three people who came with him asked, ”hambogo, who made this cave? It's amazing!”
”Make a fuss! This kind of pig cage was invented by the Japanese at the time of World War II to hold prisoners of war. Some are in caves, and some are in rivers. Anyway, there must be water. The best ones in caves do not need to be watched. When the groundwater retreats, the cage is dry and can sleep. When the water rises, the cage will be only about ten centimeters above the water and want to breathe It's hard to be angry. There's something in the water. That's the crime... ”
Han Bo showed off his knowledge in front of his younger brother, ”there are many pig cages like this in Myanmar and Vietnam. It is said that there are more in the golden triangle. It is rare in our side now. All the old iron cages found in the mountains were removed by the local people to sell scrap iron.”
”Why does the medicine woman keep people here?”
