Wu Guixiang nodded excitedly, and immediately followed her footsteps.

The two walked forward one after the other, only relying on the faint light of candles for illumination.

A few minutes passed.

Seeing that the front was still dark, as if there was no end, Wu Guixiang couldn't help asking, "Mom, how long will it take to get out?"

Cheng Cui suddenly turned her head and reprimanded: "Don't talk!"

Her voice was already harsh, but the echo echoed in the hole, making it even more frightening.

Wu Guixiang's hairs stood on end, and she didn't even dare to breathe too hard.

After Cheng Cui glared at her, she continued to walk forward.

She stood where she was, with her legs filled with lead, hesitating whether she should continue to follow.

At this moment, she was thinking in her heart, isn't this a deserted cave, why can't she speak loudly?

Could it be that there is something terrible in it?

Driven by curiosity, she timidly glanced behind her.

Seeing this, she was so frightened that she slumped on the ground and even screamed.

"what!!"

In the darkness behind her, countless blood-red eyes were staring straight at her.

After she screamed, there was a dense sound from the direction of those eyes, like a woman with long nails frantically scratching the wall, which made people's scalp numb.

Cheng Cui was attracted by the sound and turned her head immediately.

Seeing those dense eyes, she was surprised for a moment, but did not show fear.

Holding up a candle to shine a light, dense black and brown insects crawled on the wall behind them, quickly crawling towards them.

Wu Guixiang tried to get up and escape, but found that her legs were weak and she couldn't use her strength at all.

Using both hands and feet, she quickly crawled to Cheng Cui's feet, grabbed her trouser legs and said, "Mom, hurry up, run!"

Cheng Cui kicked her away in disgust, took out a pack of white powder from her pocket and sprinkled it around the two of them.

The brown-black insects crawled over in groups, and when they were about to approach the white powder, they fled in all directions as if frightened.

Wu Guixiang watched all this in horror.

It wasn't until the sound of these bugs disappeared that her heart fell to the ground safely.

Before she recovered from the shock, Cheng Cui reprimanded: "I told you not to talk, why are you yelling so loudly, if I hadn't prepared for it, we would be a pile of bones now!"

Wu Guixiang trembled all over, stood up with the help of the wall, and whispered: "Mom, I don't want to shout, but those bugs are too scary..."

"You know it's scary, so just shut up, or your little life will be here before you go out!"

Wu Guixiang pursed her lips, not even daring to breathe.

Cheng Cui didn't say anything more, and continued to move forward holding a candle.

Even though Wu Guixiang was scared, she could only follow her, otherwise those bugs might come out again when she turned around.

She walked tremblingly like this, and wrote down the route by the way.

The terrain in the cave is a bit complicated, and there will be forks every time you walk, like a maze.

If it wasn't for Cheng Cui to lead the way, she wouldn't know where she was or which way she should go.

Along the way, she found several poisonous snakes hovering in the cave, as well as many insects that she had never seen before.

After an unknown amount of time, a light finally appeared in front of him.

As the light got closer and closer, Wu Guixiang finally saw the scene outside the cave.

What came into view was a flat land covered with weeds, and in front of the flat land were layers of mountain peaks.

Seeing her standing motionless at the entrance of the cave, Cheng Cui urged, "Why are you standing there, come with me to the mountain to collect herbs!"

"coming."

Wu Guixiang didn't dare to neglect, and quickly caught up with her.

After leaving the cave, she finally had a chance to ask what she was holding back in her heart.

"Mom, what is this place?"

"Can't you see it all? It's a cave for refuge, left by our ancestors."

Cheng Cui returned lightly, but Wu Guixiang felt that this was not the case at all.

"But the cave is so dangerous, we have been staying here, will something happen?"

Cheng Cui stopped with a displeased face.

"With me here, what can happen?"

Before she could speak again, Cheng Cui said again: "Didn't you come out to breathe, just rest here, I'll go up and pick two herbs."

"Ok."

"Don't run too far away from me, this wilderness is very dangerous!"

"Got it, Mom."

Wu Guixiang nodded timidly.

Seeing Cheng Cui went to collect herbs, she took the opportunity to climb a little higher to see where it was.

But after watching it for a long time, I didn't see why.

……

the other side.

Huangfu Liyue was still waiting for news from Wu Guixiang in the cave.

Staying in this dark cave, she only knew that a long time had passed, but she didn't know what time it was.

Wu Guixiang hadn't come to her for a long time, and she didn't know if she had found the exit.

Anxious in my heart, but I can only wait.

When she was quiet, she would think of the three pregnant women from time to time, and those bugs that used people as food...

Every time she thought of that scene, she felt her scalp tingle.

If Wu Guixiang refused to help her, even if she got out, she might end up with no bones left before she got out of the cave.

Just when she was worried, Wu Guixiang found here in the dark.

She immediately stood up and asked, "How is it, did you find the exit?"

Wu Guixiang was afraid of being discovered by Cheng Cui, so she didn't hold any lighting in her hand, and looked behind her from time to time.

Seeing Huangfu Liyue, her mood eased a lot.

"Girl, I found the exit here according to what you said, but..."

"But what?"

"This cave is very dangerous. If you want to escape alone, it may be impossible."

Immediately afterwards, Wu Guixiang described everything she saw to Huangfu Liyue.

Although her vocabulary is poor and her descriptions are not very detailed, Huangfu Liyue can understand a thing or two from her frightened expression.

"You mean, there are a lot of snakes, rats, rats and ants here?"

"It's not just as simple as snakes, insects, rats and ants. My mother-in-law said that if we are not careful, we may be a pile of bones."

Huangfu Liyue couldn't help frowning when she thought of the bugs that devoured pregnant women again.

But thinking about it again, Cheng Cui seems to have a way to control those bugs.

"Guixiang, you just said that your mother-in-law has a way to deal with those bugs, right?"

"Yes, my mother-in-law sprinkled some kind of medicinal powder, so those insects would not dare to approach us."

"That's great! Can you help me get those powders?"

Wu Guixiang was very hesitant about her request.

"I... I can't do it."

Cheng Cui was so vicious all day long, how dare she get close to her, let alone get anything from her.

Huangfu Liyue grabbed her wrist and encouraged her: "Don't be afraid, I don't want you to confront Cheng Cui head-on, if you want to get those medicine powder, you can outwit it!"
