Lu Li left their camp and began to look for dry firewood. From the point of view of the pasture www.biquge.info I could only see a continuous forest and mountains in the distance, and I had no clear idea of the boundaries of the territory at all, and it was not until I actually came in that I realized how vast this forest really was, like a fairyland that could never be walked out, and even the clouds and mist that swirled in the canopy of the trees added a touch of poetry -- Texas Poetic? These are obviously two completely unrelated words, even a little funny.
Leaving the location of the stream, Lu Li casually picked a direction and walked into the forest slightly, those seemingly repetitive scenes, after exploring them closely, you can feel the difference in every inch, so that your eyes are reluctant to blink at all, just silent, greedily searching every corner of your field of vision, while curiously exploring those unknown plants, while bending down to collect suitable dry firewood into your arms.
In the past, Lu Li had never been interested in plants, because the earth was really too large, and it was impossible to identify all the plants and animals, and humans alone could not study them. Opening an encyclopedia would only make you feel small, and now that you're in the middle of it, it feels even more so.
Looking at the plant in front of me, one second I thought I recognized what it was, and the next second I saw another plant and I was not sure, and sure enough, nature is full of countless possibilities.
Looking down, you can see a snail slowly moving on the slender and green leaves, and the water droplets condensed on it gather into a long water stain with its steps, and the rich moisture fills the woods, which also adds to the difficulty of finding dry firewood. However, Lu Li was more curious, did the snail's move mean that there would be rain or something, or was it just that he was moving, or did it not have any special meaning?
Intermittently collected a large pile of dry firewood, the amount was not much, but he couldn't hold it now, it was estimated that he would have to come out again later, Lu Li was about to turn back, and he caught a glimpse of a large creeper - or other kinds of ivy, hanging down a cliff, which was about two stories high, and looked like it was the same level as the source of the waterfall.
The difference is that the waterfall is crystal clear and the sunlight is dyed with a light golden layer, while the ivy is verdant and dripping, and the rich green seems to be another waterfall, cathartic and spectacular.
However, what attracted Lu Li's attention was not the ivy waterfall, but the floating ivy.
Apparently, the ivy covered a hole, or at least the vent, and the circulating air made the ivy fly. This suddenly made Lu Li's curiosity surge, and his brain opened: Could it be that it is a cave? If it is Jin Yong's novel, it may be a martial arts secret book; if it is "Pirates of the Caribbean", then it is a treasure; if it is Alice in Wonderland, I don't know if the Red Queen and the White Queen are hiding inside.
Lu Li walked over, picked up a long branch, and opened the thick ivy, and then a huge hole appeared in front of him - not a vent, but a cave!
So, is this the beginning of the development of farming novels towards martial arts? Or is it fantasy? Lu Li couldn't help but be a little excited.
Putting the dry firewood in his hand next to the root of the tree, leaving a sturdy wooden stick in his hand, Lu Li will not forget that it is summer, not to mention whether he will encounter a black bear, just talking about the snakes in the forest makes people shudder, in addition, there are many fierce beasts. What if this cave is an animal nest?
Although he is eager to explore, he is not reckless.
Carefully opened the ivy with a wooden stick, Lu Li had heard before that there was a vine plant that was poisonous, not the kind of poison that sealed the throat when seeing blood, but would make the body itch, and it could not be suppressed and kept scratching, causing the skin to be red and swollen. However, Lu Li has not studied it either, and he doesn't know how to distinguish whether it is poisonous or not, so it is better to be careful.
The ivy was supported like a door curtain, and Lu Li bent down to get in, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the spider web overhead, and a spider was diligently weaving the web. This is good news, at least in the near future, that there will be no large objects coming in and out.
After retracting the stick, the ivy slid down again, the light in the cave became dim, only a sparse light was projected from behind, and he took out a flashlight from the emergency bag at his waist, which was a small flashlight, a little thicker than a finger, and could be used as a key chain, one of several small gifts given by the clerk after purchasing in large quantities in the outdoor store. Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.
Through the flashlight, I briefly looked at the whole cave, which was much shallower than I imagined, but only a dozen meters deep, and where the light found, I actually saw a table and two benches.
This was definitely a situation that Lu Li didn't expect, he almost thought that he was dazzled, and then carefully shone a flashlight again. This time, in addition to the table and bench, a small wooden box is seen in the corner, covered with a dark brown blanket, and the development of the plot is becoming more and more unpredictable.
Is this some kind of seclusion place for the worldly masters, or is it a place where mysterious serial killers imprison the bodies of their victims? Or is it a hiding place for wanted criminals?
All kinds of speculations began to surge in his mind, and the spirit of adventure in his childhood was rejuvenated, which made Lu Li a little excited.
Bent down to find a stone, threw it in, you could hear a low echo, waited for a while, didn't hear any response, and then used a flashlight to shine on the corners of the corners to search, after confirming that there were no snakes to build a nest here, Lu Li took a step forward, raised his head and looked at the surrounding walls, it didn't look like it was dug manually, there were no traces of tools such as shovels, but I didn't know if it was naturally formed, and I didn't know if it was a natural formation, and I didn't know if it was a natural formation, and I couldn't make a judgment about how to prepare because of the lack of relevant knowledge of geography.
After walking in, I found that the so-called table and chair were actually built simply, the table was two large stones with a wooden board on top, and the bench next to it was also a natural stone, which had not been carved in any way. There were some straws piled up next to it, but at this time they had all merged with the soil, and they had even begun to rot, and the wooden box in the corner was a bit mysterious.
However, there were no skeletons of dead people, no strong smell of blood, and only a damp smell of rot in the air, which seemed to be indistinguishable from the world outside the ivy League, which was really disappointing.
Walking over, you can see a dark brown oiled paper pressed against the blanket, almost indistinguishable because of the close colors. It was written in black carbon pen, "Temporary shelter to shelter from torrential rain." There were flints and flints and oil lamps in the chest. ”
The answer is revealed, martial arts cheats and mysterious treasures are not to be thought about, and it is not a hiding place for serial killers, just a simple shelter.
Cole used to say that hunting was allowed in the forest – one of the reasons why hikers were required to dress conspicuously, both to avoid such accidents and to be seen by search and rescue personnel in case of danger, so the trekking costumes were brightly coloured. The suit on Lu Li's body is fluorescent yellow, like a striking warning light, walking through the layers of green.
However, what made Lu Li curious was that this shelter looked like it had been around for some years, the cobwebs at the door were one signal, and the table that had begun to rot was the second, not to mention the rotten dry straw at his feet. Could it be that in recent years there has been no hunting, or is it that nature has been affected by the greenhouse effect and man-made exploitation, and the beasts have migrated deep into the forest?
Rustle, rustle......
There was a trivial sound in the air, it sounded a little like the sound of a rattlesnake moving, the cold air was mixed with the smell of rot and mold, Lu Li only felt a cool breeze blowing on his back, the hairs on his body stood on end, goosebumps fell to the ground, he stood stiffly in place, not knowing what to do.
Rustle, rustle......
The cacophony of time and space drifted in the ears as if out of nowhere, one second it was still at the far end, and the next second it was pounding on the eardrums, and this erratic sound added a touch of weirdness and made people shudder. I can't help but think of the figure of Sadako in "Midnight Bell".
Rustle, rustle......
Lu Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his throat was very dry, and he recalled all kinds of ghost stories that happened in the deserted forest in his mind, then clenched his hands into fists, turned around sharply, and looked around with a flashlight, but he didn't see any creatures, not even a shadow. However, the feeling of not seeing things was even more terrifying, and Lu Li wanted to see rattlesnakes deep down at this time - at least rattlesnakes existed and could be dealt with.
Rustle, rustle......
How could this sound linger, like a shadow, "Lu ...... Leaving the ......" The intermittent voice came, and the bones in his back were cold, and the muscles in his body were tensed to the extreme, was this his delusion, or was there something going on? Lu Li took a step forward and began to explore around the cave, but the sound kept echoing in his ears.
"Lu Li, can you hear it? What's going on with this signal? Why is it intermittent?" The voice suddenly became clear, and then cut off again, but Lu Li reacted, standing in place, his hands on his hips, his head bowed, ashamed - he was really stupid by himself, literally stupid crying.
Walking back to the cave, the voice became clear again, "...... Can you hear me? Lu Li? This is Lingyi, over!"
