Chapter 110: The Three-Eyed Cave
Following.
The sky is drizzling, and the gray sky always makes people feel like God is going to 'cry'.
In the morning, the old man got up early in the morning to make porridge and rice, prepared a rope, a machete and a pot full of soju, and asked the old man a little puzzled when he was eating breakfast...
"Grandpa, what are you going to do?" Bu Tian asked busily as he drank the fragrant rice porridge.
"Aren't you going to enter Erhai Lake, after breakfast, our grandparents and grandchildren will take you on a shortcut. The old man replied as he smoked his long pipe made of ancient vines.
The old man's granddaughter Duo'er said at this time, "Grandpa, do you want to take them into the 'Three-Eyed Cave'?"
The old man nodded silently.
"But no one has been in that cave for more than a hundred years, and I don't know what it is like now, didn't the people in the village say that there is a big snake in that cave, and you forgot the six buffaloes of Uncle Gongga's family, didn't you get them there? Haven't anyone in the village ever seen the big snake swallowing a buffalo in one bite? Why do we have to go anywhere, isn't it good to go directly to the 'Three Bowls', although it is silted there, it is safer than entering the 'Three Eyes Cave'. โ
The old man took a puff of cigarette and said, "Silly girl, don't listen to those people's nonsense, although the three-eyed cave is difficult to walk, and there are a few cliffs in the middle, but you have forgotten where it is closest to the bottom of the Erhai Lake, as for what those people said, the big snake is pure nonsense, you don't remember that you were sick when you were twelve years old and wanted to eat grilled eels, grandpa is the few big eels that you caught in the three-eyed hole, where are there such big eels in other places." Grandpa remembers, when grandpa caught fish for you, he didn't see any big snakes. The water buffalo of the Gongga family disappeared, and I think eighty percent of them fell into the 'black water pool' and drowned, and were eaten by the 'Zheluo fish' in the pool. That's what they said... What a big snake. Nonsense!"
Duo'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "That's safer than walking the Three Eyes Cave, you just said that you have to go down a few cliffs during the Three Eyes Cave, you are so old... Duo'er is not at ease. If you go to Sanwantan and reach the 'tip of the ear', you can go down from there and dive a few meters deep to reach Erhai Haiti. โ
Bu Tian heard it, it turned out that this little girl was worried about the safety of the old man, and said with a smile, "Miss Duo'er is so filial at a young age, it's really rare." But you don't have to worry about grandpa's safety. Wait until you get to the three-eyed cave grandpa and tell me how to go the rest of the way, and then you will come back, me and... My sister can go down by herself, and I don't have to bother you and grandpa anymore. โ
When the little girl heard this, she said happily, "What you said is true, you don't lie." โ
Bu Tian smiled and patted his chest and said, "The manly husband says that life will never lie, not to mention that you are still a... Little kids!"
When Duo'er heard Bu Tian say that he was a child, she pouted unhappily and said, "Who is a child, everyone is almost eighteen years old, and they are already adults in our place, and anyone as old as me can get married." โ
Bu Tian snickered, "Oh, many girls have a sweetheart!
In Bu Tian's words, the little girl Duo'er said that she was shy, like a budding 'black camellia'.
"What are you talking nonsense, people don't have it... That's what, Duo'er has to take care of her grandfather for the rest of her life, and she won't marry!" said Duo'er shyly.

After making a fuss, the old man still stubbornly took the rope and * walked in front, saying that he must send Butian and them to the 'Black Water Pool' and come back. Bu Tian persuaded the old man several times and didn't listen, and said vigorously that he was not old, and he would still live for another twenty years. There was no way but to give up, and he made up his mind to act when the time came.
I thought that Sanyan Cave was a cave near Erhai Lake, but I didn't think that the old man took Butian into Diancang Mountain, and along the way, the old man overcame thorns and thorns, where he looked like an old man in his sixties, and he was clearly a young man in his twenties.
"Grandpa, we didn't go to the 'Three-Eyed Cave', how did we enter Cangshan?" asked Bu Tian after the old man.
The old man smiled and said, "Haha, you don't understand, there is only a fault zone in Erhai Lake and Diancang Mountain, which was left by the earthquake in the ancient period, the three-eye hole is above the fault zone, do you see the bamboo forest in front, after the bamboo forest, we are close to the fault zone between Diancang Mountain and Erhai Lake, the north of Erhai Lake, that is, about two hundred meters above the tip of the ear, there is a small sinkhole. That's the entrance to the Three-Eyed Cave. Let's walk a few steps, we will arrive before dark, fix it for one night, and enter the three-eye hole tomorrow. โ
It turned out to be like this, the magic of nature, I didn't expect that there would be such a provenance on a fault zone. Bu Tian followed the old man closely, not caring about admiring the strange scenery of the primeval forest, and followed the old and the young strides forward. When it was close to noon, the little girl didn't know that the tendon was wrong, so she sat on the ground covered with dead leaves and didn't leave.
"Grandpa, I'm tired, I'm hungry too, let's go later. Doll said coquettishly.
"No, get up and hold on for a while, don't you see that the little sister of the other country follows his 'brother' step by step along the way, people are younger than you, and they are not tired, you are a baby who grew up in the mountains, you are tired of doing such a little mountain road, get up and leave quickly." โ
Duo'er frowned, stood up reluctantly, and glanced at the little Jin Ling who was looking around curiously...
"Well, that... Aren't you tired of his sister?" asked Do'er, tilting her head.
Xiao Jin Ling blinked, "Are you asking me! It's okay, it's not tiring to walk this little way, the mountains I have walked on before are many times bigger than the mountains here, and that is when I blink an eye." โ
Duo'er pouted and said, "Cut, bragging!"
At this time, Bu Tian smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'll take a break, eat something to replenish my strength, not for a while, I'm not in such a hurry." If you can't get there today, won't there be tomorrow? I know you're worried about the safety of sleeping in the woods at night. You forget, I'm a Chinese medicine doctor, and I don't need to find some herbs to prevent mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants, and my sister can do it properly. Let's take a break, you see..."
As soon as the old man heard Bu Tian say this, he also got off the donkey, and he was really tired, after all, he was in his sixties.
"Okay, listen to the advice of people to eat enough, just follow your kid, let's go to the bamboo forest over there to rest, you go first, I'll go and hunt some game." After the old man finished speaking, he took the * and went into the forest...
Bu Tian immediately gave Xiao Jinling a look, and the little girl nodded and immediately shouted at the top of her voice, "Grandpa, wait a while, I'll go with you!"
After saying that, he jumped up and followed.
Bu Tian looked at the corners of Duo'er's mouth upturned, and said with a smile, "Miss Duo'er, let's go to the bamboo forest first, and grandpa and they will be back in a while." You just wait to eat something delicious. โ
Saying that, when Bu Tian went up, he wanted to hold one of Duo'er's jade hands...
"Well, what do you want to do, my grandfather went to hunt game, and you put yours again... Little sister go, do you want to think anything about me, I can tell you, be careful that I let the big snake here eat you!"
Bu Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Duo'er, what do you think of me, I just saw that there are broken branches all over the ground here, I was afraid that you would fall, and I wanted to help you, where do you want to go, really, kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs." โ
Bu Tian shook his hand and advanced into the bamboo forest.
Duo'er sneered slightly, "Look at you like that, the ghost believes your words, hum!"
