Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 246 The Snake Cave
"That... that person is my father..."

I was taken aback when I heard Zhao Huanhuan's words, her father?Is it the dead strong man?It seems that it is exactly what I thought, the corpse crawled out of the grave, killing people...

"He... he attacked me... came home and attacked me, so I ran..."

I frowned and looked at Zhao Huanhuan: "What about the talisman? Where is the talisman I gave you?"

Zhao Huanhuan looked at me and said, "I stuck to the door... But, Dad turned over the window... So I ran out, and then, I fell down, sprained my foot and couldn't walk, he caught me, and then I called for help ...Then sister Xiaoya came to save me."

Well, it seems that the talisman I gave Zhao Huanhuan is not a town house talisman, so sticking it on the door is useless.

"Master, he is running away... Do we want to chase him?" Xiaoya asked me at this moment.

Chase?
I frowned, yes, although the corpse came back from the dead and turned into a monster, it seemed that it didn't recognize its relatives before it was alive.But the gathering place where they hide should be fixed. Maybe following him will be able to find more corpses and even solve this matter.

Thinking of this, I nodded: "Chasing!"

"Hey, hey Xiaoye, what about her?" Lao Yin gave me a hand and pointed at Zhao Huanhuan.

Well, this is a burden, what to do?My foot is still twisted...

I'm definitely not worried about sending her back alone now, but handing it over to someone else in the village?At this moment, her father's body must have fled far away.So, I made a decision in a short time: "Let's go, take her with you! Uncle Yin, we take turns carrying her on our backs."

As I said that, I directly carried Zhao Huanhuan back.

Then, Xiaoya was at the front, Lao Yin was next, and I was as tired as a grandson, chasing after them. Fortunately, Xiaoya was different from normal people. She stuck out her tongue and could feel Zhao Huanhuan's father who was running away ahead. Approximate location of the body.Then we ran all the way to the back of the village.

"Hey...hey Yin...Uncle Yin, you, wait for me, it's your turn!"

"No, uncle is getting old, you can carry it on your back."

My face is full of black lines, this little girl is exhausting me to death, and Lao Yin is still playing rogue with me.

"Master, leave it to me." At this moment, Xiaoya came over.

I breathed a sigh of relief, it was my little maid who was caring, but... just when Xiaoya raised her head, a pair of snake pupils were exposed, and a snake letter was still spitting out of her mouth, Zhao Huanhuan screamed at that time.Is this intentional to help me carry the child?My face was full of black lines: "No, Xiaoya, why are you scaring her!"

"I'm exploring the way, so..."

"I...I don't want sister Xiaoya to carry me...don't..."

Well, the chance for the little maid to help me solve my problems has been squandered again.

So, I carried a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl on my back up the mountain, and kept going up the mountain. I felt that I was so exhausted... Finally, when I couldn't hold on anymore, Xiaoya said in front of me: "Master, there is a cave ahead, he went in..."

That "he" refers to Zhao Huanhuan's father.

"Mountain...a cave...okay, let's rest for a while, visually, it's in this cave." I quickly put it down for Zhao Huanhuan, and then dressed roughly.

Zhao Huanhuan carefully pulled me behind me.

I was taken aback, and when I turned around, this girl actually smiled at me sweetly: "Brother, thank you..."

At that time, I was in a trance for a while, and suddenly felt that this girl was very beautiful.

And... she actually laughed?She smiles so naturally, isn't she autistic?
Although my heart was full of doubts, but I didn't know why, I stretched out my hand and subconsciously said to her: "Does your foot still hurt? I have to continue on my way. Brother will carry you on my back."

"Okay..." Zhao Huanhuan nodded.

Then I squat down and she's on my back again.

After finishing this movement, I regretted it. I was so tired, I hadn’t rested yet, and I carried it on my back again... But, after a few seconds, what made me wonder was that this time, I didn’t feel tired at all. It seems that the body is full of strength.

"Huh? Strange." I frowned.

Looking back now, this incident was very weird, but at the time I was as if I was possessed by a demon, and I didn't even notice the weirdness at all.

Yin Banxian came over, looked at me, and asked, "Is it possible? Didn't you feel so tired just now?"

"It's okay, let's go, catch it early, and finish it early!" After I finished speaking, I walked into the hole.

Yin Banxian muttered behind me: "This young man is amazing, his physical strength is good, but he is too old..." After finishing speaking, he also followed in.

This is a line with no holes in the light, Xiaoya leads the battle, Lao Yin uses a flashlight to illuminate, and I carry Zhao Huanhuan at the end.The further you go, the more humid the cave becomes, but there is no special smell.And Xiaoya was just trying to find out the danger in the front, so everything is safe in her current position.

After walking for a while, the sound of water under my feet became louder and louder. Not only was there a sound, but there was also a chill.

It doesn't feel good, and occasionally some aquatic drips...

At this time, Xiaoya suddenly said in front of her: "Master, Mr. Yin, you two, be careful."

"On the head? What's wrong with the head?" Yin Banxian asked in confusion.

The next thing that happened, I was going to blame Xiaoya. As a corpse puppet, she always speaks slowly, things that should not have happened, just because she spoke slowly, ended up causing trouble.

"There's something on it..."

Xiaoya said so.

Lao Yin was curious, and I was also curious. We both looked up at the same time, and Lao Yin shone his flashlight upwards.

And at this time, Xiaoya said: "Don't take photos..."

It's a pity that Lao Yin has already taken a photo upward, and I also looked up at the same time. The picture on the top of the cave shocked me!I finally understood what was dripping water... Snakes, snakes that I didn't recognize at all, were as thick as wrists, wrapped around the stone pillars on the top of the cave!That drop of water is the saliva they left behind!

I don't know how Lao Yin's flashlight disturbed these snakes. They started to spit snakes like crazy, and they were eager to try us!
The next moment, a few of them jumped down directly and bit Lao Yin and me!
Fortunately, Xiaoya was fast, and with a flick of her tail, the three snakes that jumped down were pumped into a meat paste, and then Xiaoya said: "Master, run, there are too many of you, I can't protect you... There is a leak."

My face is full of black lines, so why didn't you say earlier, don't you say don't shine the flashlight upwards?
I carried Zhao Huanhuan on my back and ran towards the front of the cave together with Lao Yin and Xiaoya.

While running, I wondered.

Didn't it mean that snakes have poor eyesight?Why did Lao Yin shine a flashlight, and they started to attack?They should rely on the snake letter to feel the temperature, right?
I also asked Xiaoya about this question.

Xiaoya said, that is indeed the case, but in the perceived picture, these snakes regard Lao Yin's movement of raising the flashlight as a preparation for attack, as a provocation...

My face was full of black lines: "...No, you snakes are very active?"

Xiaoya looked back at me with an innocent face.

After running for a while, I kept hearing the rustling sound behind me. Finally, I ran to a relatively narrow entrance. A few of us rushed in. Xiaoya casually rolled up a boulder on the ground and blocked the narrow entrance. In this way, the serpent that pursued us was stopped.

"Huh... rest for a while, rest for a while." I took a few breaths, put Zhao Huanhuan down, and squatted on the ground.

For a while, I took a look at the environment in front of me.

This is a stone chamber, which is not the same as the previous ones, but it is not the same as the tomb, because this is a natural cave with no traces of later refinement, and it is still very damp as before.Of course, this is a small problem.Two big problems arose.

First of all, there are three forks in front of us, which seem to be disconnected. Where should we go?

Moreover, a piece of snake skin appeared in the middle of the ground, or something that looked like a snake shed its skin.Because this thing does not seem to be in the shape of a snake, but in the shape of a human.

"Master, among these three paths, I only smell the smell of the man just now...he should have taken this path." Xiaoya said suddenly at this moment.

"Then let's take a..."

"But..." Xiaoya obviously had something to say.

I turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"But this road, I feel like it's a dead end... Or, what secrets are hidden? It feels dangerous... Yes, there should be danger."

Xiaoya said there was danger, and Xiaoya also said that she judged the danger very accurately.

I looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "Wait a minute, maybe there's a trick. We've been walking along the way very smoothly. The snakes in the cave just now didn't look evil. They should be wild...It must be wrong if it's too smooth. Don't worry about it." Come on, let's study the openings on both sides."

With that said, I turned and walked towards the hole on the left.

Xiaoya followed behind me, and Lao Yin wobbled to the left, pretending to look.

But the entrances of these two caves are pitch black, and it seems that they can't see clearly, and the flashlight can't reach the end...

"Forget it, take the one on the left, you have to choose one, but forget about the one in the middle, Xiaoya said it's dangerous..." I was making a decision, but before I finished speaking, I suddenly felt something behind me. Things flashed by quickly!The same is true for Xiaoya, we both turned around almost at the same time!But when the two of us turned around, we couldn't see the whole thing, only a huge milky white snake tail got into the hole in the middle!
Then there was a heart-piercing call for help: "Help!! Brother, help!!"

I was taken aback, this is Zhao Huanhuan's voice!

I turned my head to look in the middle, and my heart sank. Zhao Huanhuan, who we put on the middle ground just now, was gone. So... Could it be that the huge white snake just brought him to the dangerous hole in the middle? !

"What the hell... what's going on? Isn't the hole blocked? Why did a big snake pop out all of a sudden?" Yin Banxian was confused.

He looked at Xiaoya.

Xiaoya's eyes were also very puzzled. Obviously, even she didn't feel when the intruder entered the stone room, or where he hid in the stone room before.

"No, I have to save her." As I said that, I walked to the entrance of the cave.

But Xiaoya stopped me: "Wait a minute, master, I'll..."
