A scholar in the mountains, lonely and empty to the moon. The bright moon shines on my clothes.

In this small mountain village where I live, fifty miles south of the village, there is a cave house, called "Horse Grass Cave". This cave is deep and long, leading to another mountain village 300 miles away, the water spring.

When I was thirteen years old, I came to this small mountain village (Ma Yao) for a summer vacation. During the day, I reclined on Uncle Zhenyao's comfortable sofa with a mixture of red and yellow to watch TV: "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Unconsciously, I fell asleep, and at night, I came to my senses, lying on the big bed in the back room of my uncle, thinking about some of my own little abacus and thoughts. It just so happened that my cousin Tianxiao came to sleep with me.

The two of us didn't fall asleep, so we lay down together and told jokes and ghost stories. Tianxiao asked, "Brother Binglei, are you afraid of ghosts?" I bravely replied, "Not afraid." I asked, "Is there anything interesting in this mountain?" Tianxiao replied: "Yes, fifty miles south of the village, there is a cave, called Horse Grass Cave. It was the place where bandits, landlords and the Kuomintang were shot in those days, and it was gloomy in it, Brother Binglei, do you dare to go? ”

I enthusiastically said, "Why don't you dare? Just, do you dare? Tianxiao replied: "Brother Binglei, as long as you dare, I will dare." I said seriously, "Really, why don't we go now?" Tianxiao paused: "Well, yes, it's just that we have to take the guys with us, there are wolves and ghosts in the mountains." "So, the plan has been decided, I took a sword, Tianxiao took a crowbar, we each took a miner's lamp, brought up weapons, and set off towards the deep mountains and old forests without anyone knowing.

The two of us talked and laughed along the way, so romantic, crossing the small river with the smell of aquatic plants and crossing the wild and lush poplar forest under the bright flame of the miner's lamp. In addition, on this night, the moon is in the sky, the stars are shining, you can see the rolling mountains, and you can hear the soft chirping of insects in the summer night.

After a while, we came to the entrance of the Horse Grass Cave, but there was a natural stone door at the entrance of the cave. When we stepped into the cave, we immediately had a cold breath rushing towards us, and faintly, I seemed to see a few white things in the cave, this is the bones of the landlords and old fortunes who were shot dead back then?

Not...... I don't dare to think about it. There is also a stone bed in the cave, like that kind of double bed, is this a natural formation, or is it a deliberate arrangement by someone? I still talk and laugh, but in my heart, I can't help but feel a little empty. At this time, there was a constant "whoosh" from outside the cave...... The sound of ....... Tianxiao was so frightened that he trembled, his face was blue, and he hugged my shoulder and said, "Brother Binglei, the ghost is here." ”

After all, I am a scholar, and I calmly comforted him: "Don't choose a mile, that's a wolf howl." Tianxiao was even more terrifying, and he was surprised: "Isn't that wolf's howl more terrible than a ghost's howl?" As he spoke, he didn't look back, but ran towards the depths of the cave in the direction of Shuiquan Village with the miner's lamp, and when he ran, he ran away with the crowbar, and I picked up the sword, hit the miner's lamp, and chased after him.

After a short time, the two of us ran out of the cave, and had reached Shuiquan Village, and then we made a detour, towards our mountain village - Mayao Village, walking happily, along the way, the moon was in the sky, and the stars were shining.

By the time the two of us walked back to my grandmother's house, the sky was already clear, and the romance of the night ushered in the rooster crow at dawn.
