Chapter 16 The Waterhole Coffin
So the two of them explored the cave, returned to the original place, and saw that the ground was completely devoid of its original appearance.
However, some leftover beef was found by the monster, and some scattered bones of children were found in the distance, presumably the children who had been sacrificed before.
The monkey who sat on the stone to rest took a large piece of beef and shaved off some tooth marks and ate it, the beef is raw and a little chewy and not delicious, some are good to eat, anyway, they are not picky eaters, and more importantly, they are indeed hungry, there is too much exercise in front of them, and they urgently need to replenish their body energy, but the girl did not eat, she basically did not move much, and she was not very hungry, and she had no appetite for raw meat.
Perhaps feeling a little too quiet, the monkey who was eating beef looked at the girl and casually asked, "What's your name?"
"I'm not a sacrifice, my name is Qin Ying, my mother died very early, and my father ...... Well, if he died, he sold me from his home and lied to me that he would send me to the river god. The girl said angrily, probably not wanting to remember this experience, and said, "What about you, what is your name?"
Immediately embarrassed, because he didn't have a name, everyone else called him a monkey in the village, but he couldn't say it, otherwise he would let this opponent know his name and don't know how long to laugh, he didn't want a girl to laugh, this was the boy's self-esteem, and then said viciously: "You don't need to know my name, from now on I am your eldest brother, you have to listen to me, I don't have parents for the time being, but I believe that we will find them, so we have to find a way to get out of here now." ”
The girl listened to his words, and just wanted to refute but when she heard the latter words, she also thought of something, and suddenly felt a little connected to her fate, and then gave up refutation, "um" and nodded, and then didn't speak again, anyway, she didn't like to talk much, so she quietly watched the monkey eat, and when she looked at her, she found that this guy had a really big appetite, and a large piece of raw beef was eaten by him in a blink of an eye. immediately labeled him as a rice bucket in his heart, and it was possible that he would eat as much as himself, and his family could not afford to be kicked out.
After resting for a while, the well-fed monkey said to the girl, "Let's go, let's go and see if there is any other way out."
The little girl hummed, then picked up the huge skull and followed.
There were a lot of strange plants on the road, and the monkey was afraid that the remaining beef would not be enough to eat, so he also picked some plants that looked edible and put them in the skull carried by the girl behind him. The girl didn't ask much, he put whatever he handed on his back.
They didn't know how long they walked until they reached the end of the passage, and at the end of it was a huge space, and there was a deep pool of water below, and the surrounding rock walls were covered with all kinds of strange plants, and in the darkness there was a group of glowing fireflies flying in the air, giving the cave a wonderful beauty.
The girl on the side was a little stunned, it was the first time to see such a beautiful scene, like fireflies flying in summer, but these are smaller and more numerous, so they are also more beautiful.
And the monkey didn't care, the last of the beef had already been eaten on the way, and now he was mainly concerned about eating, because now there was nothing to eat, and if it went on like this, he could only eat leaves, and if those glowing things could be eaten, he might be interested.
The place where they are is still dozens of feet from the ground, it is not easy to go down, looking at the vines next to them that go down vertically, he pulled and said: "It's quite strong, give me your cover, I'll go down first, and then take you down." The so-called lid was the monster's skull, and without waiting for the girl to speak, he took it from the girl's back and put it on her back.
Grabbing the vines with both hands, he slowly stared at the stone wall with his feet and slid down, and waited until he was below, and then beckoned the girl to come down, even if there was any accident, he could catch her in time. However, his thoughts were a little redundant, Qin Ying came down faster than him, and he jumped directly halfway down and landed steadily on the ground.
The monkey, who was about to reach out to catch it, suddenly stood stunned, immediately shook his hand and scratched his head, looked around, and then threw the skull to her: "Take it, let's go and see if there are any fish in the pool", and after saying that, he turned around and walked towards the pool. The girl picked up the lid and silently followed him.
After walking for a long time, I came to the shore of the waterhole, I didn't see anything clearly when I was far away from it just now, but when I got closer, I saw a layer of light blue light and shadow floating on the water, and it gradually disappeared after holding it in my hand, which was very peculiar. After trying a few more times, it was the same, and then he lost interest, and said to himself, "This waterhole is too quiet, do you think there is anything to sleep underneath, why don't you throw a stone down and try it?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, and felt that it made sense, so she walked to the half-head-sized stone beside her. The monkey looked back and saw her departing and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Move the rocks, get the guys inside!" The girl is serious.
The monkey was taken aback and patted his head: "Don't, although I don't know if there is one, but doing so is purely equivalent to reminding it to eat, in case it's a big guy, we can't run, I just said to play, don't take it seriously." ”
The girl was a little confused, but she thought that what was in the lake should be more powerful than the skull monster on its back, and even he couldn't handle it. So I nodded my head and said I knew.
Seeing that she wouldn't be able to get the stones, the monkey said with peace of mind: Let's go, let's go to the front and have a look." Before leaving, the monkey looked back at the waterhole, and was a little puzzled, because he seemed to see a coffin in the depths of the waterhole, which was very strange, and although he could not see clearly, he could feel that it was very mysterious, and that there was an unknown force guiding him closer.
But for him at the moment, it is not very attractive, if there is a pile of food inside, he can still try to get something out, but if it is just a coffin, he is really not interested, even if there is a lot of treasure in it, but he has to walk in the cave hard, but he does not have the energy to carry the treasure out, and he does not have time to get something that I don't know if it is useful, and it may not be easy to get.
