"Uncle, can you teach me how to draw? "Just as I looked around the stone room in astonishment, Yang Yang said behind me.

I turned around in surprise to see that Yang Yang had a small stone in his hand that had been deliberately carved very sharply, and pointed to a piece of sand in the corner of the room, and was looking at me eagerly, obviously hoping that I would teach him to draw quickly.

Seeing that Yang Yang was so familiar with and understood this stone room made me puzzled. That is, the entrance to this stone room is so secret, how does he, a five-year-old child, know about it?

And after I looked around, I always felt that there should have been a family of three living in this stone room, which means that it was possible that Yangyang and his parents lived together for a while.

Because since Yangyang lit the oil lamp and stone basin on the stone table, everything in the entire stone cave can be seen at a glance.

In addition to a double stone bed, a set of stone tables and stone benches, there are stone pots and bowls, stone scoops, and a stone stove.

I noticed a series of frescoes carved into the stone walls around me, all of which were so beautifully carved that I could easily understand what one of them was saying, even though there was no written explanation.

Although I haven't had time to see all the murals yet, I don't know why, but I always feel that this series of murals seems to tell an untold story, and this story seems to be related to the yang around me.

For a while, I didn't care about the patience to teach Yangyang to paint, and after talking about the painting of mountains and water, as well as the way of drawing roads and forests, I asked Yangyang to go over and try to draw a schematic map of the location of his parents first, while I came to the first mural and looked at it carefully.

In the process of looking at it, I found a very miraculous phenomenon, that is, whenever I stared at the expressive eyes of the characters in the mural, I always felt that I would fall into a short dream, and in the dream, I would experience the experience of the characters in the painting.

So even though there are no written descriptions of these murals, I can see each one very clearly, and sometimes I even feel like I can see what is going on in the minds of the people in the paintings.

The story in the mural begins with a small mountain village, which looks beautiful and full of outstanding people, and all the villagers are smiling and leisurely, as if they are living happily every day.

However, one day, while the village was holding a wedding for a couple, a huge grimace appeared in the sky and began to devour everything in the village.

First, the birds in the sky were sucked up by Grimace, and then all kinds of animals in the village also flew towards Grimace in the sky, and finally turned into a pile of dry bones and fell.

As a result, the people of the village fled for their lives in panic, but in the end, they were also sucked by the ghostly faces from the sky, and almost all of them were spared.

Only this couple rushed into a wooded area and desperately escaped, but unfortunately fell into a waterhole, only to be sucked into a whirlpool in the pool.

When the young couple woke up, they found themselves in a dimly lit stone cave, and the only entrance to the cave was a high-speed whirlpool, and the only thing in the water outside could be sucked in, and they couldn't get out of the cave at all.

In other words, the young couple was trapped in this cave.

At first, they kept trying to get close to the whirlpool, and even forced themselves into the whirlpool, trying to leave the stone cave, but each time they were sucked into the whirlpool and rotated dozens of times at high speed, and then they were thrown into the stone house again, and they were in pain and dizzy and couldn't get up for a long time.

After a few times, they had to live in the cave.

Fortunately, there is nothing to eat in the cave, and there are all kinds of daily necessities such as stone beds, stone tables, stone pots, stone stoves and stone benches.

And every once in a while, some branches of fruit trees will be thrown into the whirlpool, as well as injured birds, or fish, shrimp and crabs and other things in the water.

So gradually, the couple found that with these things, at least they couldn't go hungry, so it was not a problem to live in the short term.

Until one day, after the whole cave shook a little, the couple found that many of the villagers' essential daily necessities had been thrown in from the whirlpool one after another.

It was as if there was an earthquake in the village outside, so that many houses collapsed and were probably washed into the pool by the floodwaters, only to be sucked in by the whirlpool and owned by the couple.

In this batch of daily necessities, there are quilts, pillows, clothes, shoes, sewing kits, candles, gadgets, and even all kinds of spices in jars, as well as drinks.

After carefully sifting through it, the couple left what could be used, and threw the useless ones out of the whirlpool, and suddenly, this stone house was fully equipped with the conditions for a long-term life.

At the same time, they also felt that there were probably no survivors left in the village outside, and if they hadn't been sucked into this stone house by the whirlpool in the waterhole by chance, they would have been eaten by the huge grimace in the sky.

While feeling sorry for other relatives, friends and the whole village, they had no choice but to accept their fate to survive in this stone cave.

As the saying goes, if you come here, you will be safe, and since they are trapped here and have to live for a long time, the couple has also decided to no longer worry about not being able to get out, but simply live here with peace of mind.

And just when they were ready to be trapped here for the rest of their lives, they unexpectedly found that they had children of their own.

For the arrival of this child, they were also surprised and worried.

Surprisingly, they finally have their own children after marriage, and the worry is that the children will not be trapped in this stone house for the rest of their lives?

However, soon they figured it out again, that is, to give birth to the child peacefully, and then raise the child, maybe they are destined to not get out, but the child is young after all, and there may still be a chance to go out in the future.

So with this thought, they no longer worry, but live hard around this soon-to-be-born child everywhere.

On the day when the child was finally about to be born, they encountered a very troublesome thing, that is, the mother had a difficult birth.

After all, there is no way for them to go out and ask an experienced midwife to help with midwifery, but if it goes on like this, not only will the child be stillborn, but even the life of the adult will be unsafe.

In desperation, the extremely weak mother begged the child's father to gamble with the help of the huge power of the whirlpool at the entrance of the cave to help deliver the wife.

Hearing his wife's crazy thoughts, the child's father also resolutely disagreed.

But he also understood that if it dragged on any longer, it would be two lives, so he gritted his teeth, spread a thick quilt on the ground near the entrance of the cave, and then helped his wife to the whirlpool.

After one last glance at each other, they rushed into the whirlpool together.

Suddenly, the two of them were swept into the high-speed whirlpool, and after involuntarily turning quickly for dozens of times, they returned to the stone house again as expected.

The two of them fell dizzily and heavily on the quilt that had been laid out in advance at the entrance of the hole, but fortunately, the quilt cushioned the impact of the landing, so this time neither of them was injured, but they just felt that their whole bodies did not have any strength for the time being.

Just as they were lying weakly on the quilt, wondering if the child had been born because of this, they heard a baby's cry: "Uh-huh...... Uh-huh...... Wow......"

At that moment, the two of them also cried with joy, and together they desperately crawled in the direction of the child's cry.

When they finally crawled to the child's side and looked carefully and found that it was a healthy baby boy, the two hugged each other again and cried.

After all, this child is indeed hard-won, and it is also the happiest time they have been trapped in this stone house for almost a year.

In the days that followed, despite the difficult conditions in the stone house, the couple saved money and tried to make their children thrive.

And this little boy grew up day by day without illness and disaster under the care of such well-intentioned parents.

However, the good times did not last long, and at midnight one day, when the child was two and a half years old, a bloodstained coffin that looked old was thrown into the whirlpool at the entrance of the cave.

After the coffin was broken, an old man with only half of his body left fell out of it, this old man with a rotten body and a hideous face glared at the family of three fiercely, and actually dragged the mutilated body a little bit and crawled over.

Crawling and crawling, his already rotten and fragile body fell apart one after another, and finally when he was about to crawl in front of the three of them, he finally had only half of his head and one hand left, and he could no longer crawl.

Looking at this sudden scene in front of him, he suddenly frightened the couple.

And the old man, who didn't know whether it was a man or a ghost, actually stared at blood-red eyes, seemed to have words in his mouth, and pointed with his fingertips at the boy who was protecting the couple in their arms, not knowing what he was saying.

But judging by the old man's vicious eyes and the gnashing of teeth in his mouth, the couple felt a bit like they were casting some kind of bad spell.

And the little boy who was originally happy in their arms suddenly became demented, his eyes became redder and redder, and the skin on his body began to become wrinkled and rough, obviously the vicious old man in front of him really cast an extremely bad curse on him.

So, for the sake of their children, they also plucked up the courage, picked up the guy, and rushed up to beat the wreckage of this terrible and disgusting old man to pieces.

Another fire was set on fire, and the flesh was blurred, and the remains of the old man were burned to ashes.

When the couple finally managed to throw the broken coffin and the ashes of the old man's remains through the whirlpool, they found that the originally transformed boy had regained his original delicate white skin, and they were relieved.

However, it didn't take long for the couple to notice that the little boy had changed, that is, after falling asleep at midnight every day, he would begin to transform into a terrifying appearance.

But if you wake him up right away, he will slowly return to his normal appearance.

From then on, the couple had to control the time when the little boy went to bed, and each time they woke him up before the fire in his eyes had fully formed.

He was also deeply concerned about the phenomenon that his eyes occasionally emitted red beams of light at night and burned everything, and specially told the child that when his eyes emitted red beams, he should never look at them and others, lest he hurt the innocent in the future.

In this way, before I knew it, more than two years later, the little boy was finally five years old......
