Chapter Thirty-Six: The Hanging Corpse Cave

  "And another thing, I've taken these things to use, if you want them back, come and kill me, do you have the guts?" The old man's voice faded away slowly.

  In the darkness, I felt around everywhere, but the ground was uneven with potholes and bumps. I shouted loudly into the darkness again, but there was no response.

  Next, I kept feeling in the dark, but never found the direction of the cave entrance. Finally, I was too exhausted and fell down powerlessly, sleeping past.

  However, in my dream, I felt itchy all over my body, and a pair of small hands were constantly ** on me. I suddenly woke up, reached out to grab, and indeed caught a cold hand. In that instant, I was like being electrocuted, and quickly withdrew my hand.

  Dazed, a child's voice came from the darkness: "Who are you? When did you come in?"

  I stiffened for a moment, and my mind was a bit dizzy. Could it be that there's someone else in this cave besides me?

  After a while, I said: "Who are you again?"

  A voice came from the darkness: "This cave is mine, who are you?"

  "What's with 'the hole is yours'?"

  As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a strong gust of wind coming from the darkness. I didn't have time to dodge, and my face suddenly stung, having been slapped by someone. In an instant, I got angry - being hit by an old man was one thing, but now I was also being hit by a little brat.

  "I said: 'Who is your mother anyway?'"

  "How dare you scold me, watch me not kill you." In the darkness, I felt something pouncing towards me. Although I dodged, I was still caught by him. He firmly pinned me in his arms, grabbing my collar and started punching.

  When he rushed into my arms, this time I clearly felt that it was indeed a child, and one younger than me. When it comes to fighting, I've never been lenient, seeing him rush at me, I immediately hugged him and turned him over, then grabbed his collar and beat him hard.

  In an instant, the child let out a loud wail.

  I slapped him again in anger: "You actually dare to hit me, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

  "Waaah, waaah, waaah! My dad is back, I must get him to kill you!"

  In the midst of loud wailing, the child crawled into the darkness and disappeared. I felt around but couldn't find anyone, and then shouted again: "Don't even mention your father, I wouldn't be afraid even if you called your grandfather."

  And I'm getting weirded out now, mom, how can there be people in this dark and gloomy cave? What's with that little brat anyway.

  Why do these people all like Blackbeard's, don't turn on the lights?

  I suddenly thought of a possibility, that little kid just now, could he be a ghost? Only ghosts don't need to turn on the lights. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that something was off about this cave and wanted to hurry up and escape.

  However, as I continued to grope around, I still couldn't find the exit, only touching cold rocks. At this moment, the voice of that child sounded again.

  He yelled loudly behind me: "It's him, beat him to death."

  Then, before I could even react, a series of footsteps echoed in the darkness, followed by a flurry of punches and kicks raining down on me. The little brat's voice was full of glee: "Let's see you act arrogant again, come on, show me!"

  I felt around on the ground and found a stone. Just then, that little kid started talking again, so I picked up the stone and threw it at him. Next thing I knew, I heard a loud "thwack" sound, and that little kid actually let out a wail of tears.

  "Waaaah, it hurts so much! I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

  The kid's speech is so childish and cute that I couldn't help but want to laugh. This little brat is really too adorable.

  I said to him, "From now on, when you see your brother, take a detour. Otherwise, every time I see you, I'll hit you once. And besides, I love hitting buttocks the most, and I must make your buttocks red."

  The child cried and ran towards a distant place, and soon disappeared from sight.

  The cave fell silent once again. I got up from the ground and started to feel my way with my feet. At this moment, I suddenly saw a very faint light, which was extremely dim, almost invisible, as if it were an illusion in front of me.

  But I feel like there must be light over there.

  My heart leapt with joy, and I rushed over to that side. As a result, just running out a few steps, "bang" - I let out a loud cry and directly squatted on the ground. Just now I ran too hastily, as a result, I suddenly bumped my head, and this time tears almost came out from the pain.

  I crouched on the ground with my hands covering my head for a while before standing up again.

  I lifted my head and saw the light again, I didn't rush, but slowly felt my way forward. In the darkness, besides touching rocks, I also touched some wooden stakes. Finally, that bright spot became clearer and clearer in front of me.

  I wasn't dreaming, there really was light over there. Because I walked for a while, I saw the entrance of the cave. Outside it was also pitch black, only slightly brighter than inside the cave, so when I looked towards the entrance, it appeared even darker.

  My heart leapt with joy, and I hastened to quicken my pace, running out of the cave in one breath.

  As a result, I saw the hole I ran out of, right on the cliff top where the old man brought me up. Running forward for not far was a precipice, and looking down, it was simply bottomless. In an instant, I felt a little desperate. This ghostly place, I'm afraid I really can't leave.

  Just then, I heard the voice of that little kid again.

  "He's there, hit him for me." The little boy was standing at the entrance of the cave at this time, with several black things following beside him, which couldn't be seen clearly what they were.

  I carefully sized up the kid and found that he was wearing a white T-shirt, looked perfectly normal, and was indeed a living person, not a ghost. But in my heart, I felt even more strange. Could it be that this kid had also been brought here by the old man to be imprisoned?

  Before I could think much, those black things drilled out of the darkness. Only then did I see clearly that they were a few mountain monkeys. These mountain monkeys made loud calls from their mouths while jumping towards me with a speed so fast and revealing a mouthful of broad teeth, giving people a fierce feeling.

  I had no way out, so I picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at those mountain monkeys with all my might.

  "Ah!" The mountain monkey let out a painful cry and ran away. The little boy was stunned for a moment, turned around and wanted to escape.

  I rushed over and pinned him to the ground, then covered his mouth and said, "You think you can run? I'll see how many times you can do that."

  The child wailed again: "My dad is coming back, and I'll have him beat you to death."

  I was suddenly speechless in my heart, how come this little brat always says this sentence. However, who is his old man anyway?

  Now that I've caught you, where can I let you go? I said: "I can get rid of you right now, hurry up and tell me what kind of ghost place this is. If not, you know."

  The child cried even louder: "You bullied me, I must tell my dad."

  I said: "You're so annoying, all you know is crying. When I was your age, I never cried. Don't you have any dignity?"

  The kid really didn't cry anymore. He stared at me with a pair of eyes, both of which were full of tears: "I'm not crying, my dad is back, and I want him to make you cry."

  Listening to him calling out "Dad" left and right, I suddenly got angry, and slapped him in the face: "Hurry up and answer my question, what kind of place is this?"

  The child was about to cry again, but I raised my hand and he stopped crying instantly.

  After a long time, he held back his mouth and said: "This is my home, called Xuan Li Cave."

  I gave him a slap on the ear: "You're telling lies, aren't you? If you don't tell the truth, I'll beat you to death."

  The child burst into tears again: "You hit me, I'll tell you, you'll definitely regret it."

  I swept past him with a ear scraper fan: "Who is your old man after all? Why is this place called Hanging Corpse Cave?"

  "My dad is a Hanging Corpse Old Man. Because the cave was full of corpses, it's called the Hanging Corpse Cave." Suddenly, he really became obedient.

  I smiled at him and then slapped him again, hitting his face so hard that it was covered with the imprint of five fingers.

  "Hurry up and get your dad out here, I'd like to meet him and see what kind of person he is."

  The kid struggled desperately and unexpectedly broke free from my grasp. Then he stood far away, shouting at me: "You will regret it."

  I cursed and then scolded loudly: "Do you still want to find trouble or what?"

  The child looked at me with a wronged expression: "You just know how to bully me, when my dad comes back, I'll make you kneel in front of me and cry."

  The kid finished speaking, and I was about to retort when he suddenly sprinted into the hole and vanished in an instant. And at this moment, I stared at the entrance of the hole for a long time, this kid is probably not a good guy, he looks quite cute now, always likes to cry, that's because he can't beat me.

  Just as the child said this, I could clearly feel his sharp eyes, and there was a fierce momentum in that gaze.

  This guy grows up a bit, or in other words, becomes more powerful, and he will definitely be a bad person.

  As I thought, I withdrew my gaze. At this moment, the surroundings were dark and gloomy, and not far away was another cliff, which made me truly feel a sense of despair. Was it true that I would be imprisoned here for the rest of my life?

  The most crucial thing is that now all my things have been taken away by that old man, including the human skin drum and the soul-cutting knife as well as the book of ghost doctor skills. I plopped down on the ground with a thud, starting to miss Wu Xianyao in my heart, if only he were here, it would be great.

  But Wu Xianyi, where did he go?

  After a long time, I stood up and wanted to walk around the four weeks to see if there was a road down the mountain. In the dark night, I felt like a wandering ghost. And after walking for half a day, I turned back again, this damn place actually didn't have a single road that could go down.

  After the cave, there is also a cliff, but it's just not as steep as the one in front of the cave. However, wanting to go down the mountain is almost impossible.

  I was suddenly confused and didn't know what to do.

  At this moment, my brain is extremely tired and I want to sit down and rest, but my heart is full of doubts and I am very uneasy, so I dare not sleep. Walking to the front of the cave, I sat on the ground with a thud, uneasily looking into the depths of the dark night.

  As I looked and looked, I always felt that there was someone in the dark night, and that person was walking towards me step by step. I woke up instantly and stared carefully at the front. When my mind cleared, I saw even more clearly, and indeed it was a person.

  It's too dark to see who it is. The first thing that comes to mind is which little brat, this kid seems to be a bit of a handful.
