In a trance, the surroundings suddenly became very hot, and at the same time, a strange fishy smell drifted into the nose.

I woke up from choking. The first move was to subconsciously cover my nose, and then slowly open my eyes.

This is a huge cave with dim light and quiet around it, as if no one was present.

I was very surprised. I turned over and sat up, looked around. There was indeed no one in the hole, but there were many strange things. There were five large iron furnaces in the middle, almost as big as water tanks, arranged in five directions. Something seemed to be burning inside, but the fire was not strong and emitted a hint of heat.

Each iron furnace is connected to a chimney and gathers into a larger furnace behind it, but there is no fire inside the furnace. It is like a big ball, with slight smoke coming out from time to time.

On the side of the iron furnace, each has a thin tube that is inclined downward, which is connected to a huge iron barrel. I don’t know what this is for.

Next to the large iron stove, there is a pool with sticky sewage inside, neither red nor black, and something that cannot be recognized is discarded inside, exuding a disgusting smell.

This is the first time I know that there is such a big cave in the mountains, almost as big as a threshing yard, with a height of four meters above my head. The entire cave is filled with a faint smoke, and the smell is very special, just like the slag burned at home in winter, but there is an indescribable strange smell.

In the corner opposite me, there were a lot of porcelain bottles, all of which were plugged with wooden plugs, and some tools such as axe, hammer, saw, and chisel were thrown on the ground next to me. What was puzzling was that there was actually a small hand-crank grinder.

It's so strange that I looked at all this in surprise, and I couldn't believe my eyes. What exactly is this?

Could it be that Mr. Ma caught us here?

Also, where have Pang Wang and Liangzi gone?!

I suddenly remembered them, and quickly turned around and looked around the cave. After searching for a long time, I didn't find any shadows of them. I was the only one in this huge cave.

I gradually became cold and I hurriedly turned around and ran towards the exit of the cave, trying to escape from this terrible cave immediately.

The dim light penetrated through the entrance of the cave, carrying colorful light. I took two steps at a time and quickly ran to the entrance. I was about to run out, but I was stunned.

The entrance of the cave was filled with smoke, like the mist in the morning, emitting bizarre colors in the sun. No wonder the light seemed so dark from the inside, but there was also colorful light.

The smoke looked a little weird, but I didn't have time to think about it so much. I lowered my head and ran out. This place was definitely not a good place, and danger might appear at any time.

Unexpectedly, before I could rush into the smoke, a few meters away from me, I immediately felt dizzy and nauseous, and my heart was bored, and I almost fainted on the ground. I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose and took a few big steps back. It was far away from the smoke, so it was a little better.

I was a little panicked. The smoke was stacked and I couldn't see the situation outside at all. Am I going to be trapped here? No, absolutely not. Wang Pang and Liangzi are already missing, and their lives are uncertain. I can't sit still and wait for death. Mr. Ma is so weird. Everything in this cave must have been made by him.

When I turned back into the cave, I looked for the exit, but finally I was disappointed. This was a gourd-shaped cave with a small entrance and a large inside. Although the space was wide, there was only one entrance.

Standing in front of the cave entrance again, I looked at the smoke and tried to rush out several times, but I still resisted the urge. Although I had never encountered this saying that there was poisonous fog and miasma in the mountains, I knew that the thing was so powerful that even if I held my breath, the poisonous fog could penetrate through my skin, which was enough to poison a strong cow in minutes.

Grandpa, I remembered my grandpa at this time. I don’t know where he is now and whether he is looking for me everywhere. I regret it and violated the taboo that grandpa said that he should not linger in the wild at noon.

Suddenly, the figure swayed in the smoke, as if someone had come.

I felt a little flustered and the first thing I thought of was Mr. Ma. I couldn't help but feel a little panicked and had no place to hide. After thinking about it, I had to run back to where I was lying down, learn the posture I had just now, and lay down again, but there was a sharp stone hidden under my body. At the same time, my eyes were half open and half closed, observing the movement.

The person who came in was indeed Mr. Ma, but he did not see Wang Pang and Liangzi. He walked into the cave staggeringly, but only looked at me, with a strange smile on his face, and ignored me. Instead, he walked to a corner of the cave, took out the woven bag just now, and walked to an iron stove.

He first opened the lid on the iron stove with a hook, took out something from his waist, and scattered it inside. The iron stove blew up and burst into the sky. He stood beside the stove but seemed nothing happened, and then grabbed a man's arm from the bag and threw it into the iron stove!

That's right, it's the human arm. I saw it clearly from behind. He took out a few more ribs and a thigh from the bag, looked at it, but put it back, muttering, "Save this for now..."

I was almost scared to death. It turned out that he was using this iron furnace to refine the corpse. And according to the situation just now, the bag must be the corpse in the dugout coffin on the mountain just now!

But why did he do this? He caught me here, would he throw me into the stove and burn it?!

And Pang Wang and Liangzi, they are not already...

I couldn't imagine it, but at this moment, Mr. Ma suddenly turned around, looked at me, and squeezed out a ferocious smile on his face, and said viciously: "When I refine this arm, it will be your turn next. Old Man Han, this time it's your turn!"

This sentence came into my ears, and I felt my heart beating wildly, my hands and feet were numb, and I finally remembered who this person was.

He was the one who led a boy in his life to ask his grandfather for help five years ago!

But at that time, grandpa rejected him for some reason. Now, he wants to take revenge!

I understood everything, and the strong idea of ​​escape made me unable to help but jump up and run out of the hole. Even if I risk being poisoned by poisonous fog, there will always be a glimmer of hope.

I need a chance, an escape.

Mr. Ma turned off the iron stove, and the blazing flames were caged inside the stove. Soon, there was a crackling sound in the iron stove, and the smell of burnt smell was also wafting in the air, which was disgusting.

He walked to another stove, opened the iron door below, and collected a small pile of gray-shaped objects from it, including powder and blocky objects. He put them together, took the small millstone in the corner, poured all the things down, then swayed the millstone with his hand and began to grind them.

I suddenly understood something. There was no doubt that it should be all ashes. Because some of them were not burned thoroughly, they had to grind them into powder with a millstone, and then they had to be put in those bottles and sold as his magic medicine!

I didn't expect that the magical magic medicine that was passed down by the neighbors of nearby villages was actually human ashes. This was so terrible. I subconsciously remembered the medicine candy I had in my mouth before. Now I think about it, it must have been made of ashes!

I felt disgusted in my chest, but I saw Mr. Ma pouring the ground ashes powder into a large porcelain bowl, then turned around, grabbed something from a jar, sprinkled it in the ashes powder, and stirred it with my hands.

He was like a master in the kitchen, constantly putting various seasonings into the porcelain basin, but his face gradually showed a crazy look, and his hands quickly stirred in the ashes powder, grabbing evenly...

Then he turned around, took a few porcelain bottles, and began to pour medicine into it carefully.

The opportunity is here!

I slowly moved my body and retreated. At the same time, I slowly got up, not even dared to breathe, and walked towards the hole with my hands and feet.

One step, two steps, three steps...

I walked very lightly, and looked back while walking, but it really didn't alarm him. After more than ten steps, I could already see the colorful light at the entrance of the cave.

Even if you are poisoned to death, it is better than being refined into medicine!

I remember that the person who died of poisoning had black bones. In that case, he would not use my ashes, right?

I thought sadly.

However, looking at the colorful light at the entrance of the cave, I was distracted and forgot that there were still many gravels under my feet. One of them was not paid attention and happened to kick it on a small stone.

The sound was originally very slight, but at this moment, it was like a bolt from the blue. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move. I was about to turn my head to see if Mr. Ma was alarmed. As soon as I turned around, I suddenly heard the sound of wind in my ears. When I saw that he was blurred, Mr. Ma was already standing in front of me with a gloomy face, and a terrifying light shot out from his eyes.

"Little guy, I finally found a bone like you. Don't run away. Be obedient and let me refine you into a real magic medicine. Do you think it's okay?"

He grabbed my wrist firmly, and a hideous smile appeared on his face again...

"Help... Grandpa, come and help..."

I could no longer contain the fear in my heart and tried my best to pull my throat and shout!

"Hehehe, it's useless to shout. Please accept your fate. This is something that your Han family can never escape. Anyway, you can't live for too long."

Mr. Ma grabbed my hand and dragged me to the stove, staring at me with a complicated expression. From his eyes, I seemed to see madness, resentment, pride, joy. It is hard to imagine that these expressions would appear on a person's face at the same time.

In front of him, I had almost no resistance and had to do my best to delay time. I knew that my grandfather must be looking for me everywhere.

"What, what did you say, why didn't I live long?" I asked with a sedate heart.

He looked at me a little surprised and said, "It's true that he is a member of the Han family. He is so calm when he dies at a young age. Haha, you can actually ask your grandfather, Well, your grandfather should be fifty-five years old. If he dies this year, you should...at most you can live to thirty-five years old... Of course, if he doesn't die, your lifespan will only become less and less. In ten years, your lifespans should end at the same time. Haha, it's interesting to think about it. By then, you're twenty-five, your grandfather and your grandfather will go to the underworld together, hahaha..."

I was completely shocked by his words. What does this mean? Why will my lifespan become less and less if my grandfather doesn't die? How can my lifespan be related to my grandfather?

I opened my mouth wide and looked at him incredibly.

Who is he? Why do you know so much inside story I don’t know?

His face changed and he said to me coldly: "If you want to blame, blame yourself for being the Han family. Don't ask me why, I don't know. This is a taboo for your Han family!"
