Chapter 16: The Cave
I couldn't move my whole body and was held by Xiao Yu and strode back, more and more green juice gushed out of the crack in the wall of the cave in front of me, the smell slowly spread throughout the hole, and the smoke made people dizzy, the two people in front were a little unable to support it, holding on to the wall or sliding on the ground, Xiao Yu and I were far away, but the smell was still very thick, and he gradually lost consciousness, and the whole person swayed around holding me around. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I was so smoky that my eyes couldn't open them, and I suddenly felt that Xiao Yu's hand was loosened, and my whole body fell straight to the ground.
It was too late, but it was too fast for a pair of big hands to catch me from the air and save me from falling to the ground. Later, Xiao Yu fell to the ground in a muffled voice, unconscious.
I opened my eyelids as hard as I could, and a pair of big eyes looked at me from above, and my eyelashes were very long! I didn't realize who it was at all, so I was slapped so hard that I was so painful that I woke up instantly!
"Ah Cheng ?!"
I was inexplicably slapped in the face, and it took my eyes to see the person in front of me clearly. It's actually Ah Cheng! In an instant, countless surprises and excitement burst out in my heart. "You... Why are you here?! What about Zhang Yimo? Have you eaten? Cold or not? I asked him eagerly, too lazy to care about the burning pain on my face. Ever since they lost contact with us, I've spent most of my time worrying about their well-being and desperate to find them. I didn't expect them to appear at this moment, which made me incoherent with excitement.
Ah Cheng listened to my question, grinned, and slapped me on the back, like a child, it was not light or heavy, and I moved straight back in pain.
"Little Gal, I didn't expect you to find this place! Looks like I've been underestimating your abilities! As he was talking, a hand pulled his entire head to the right, I looked at the hand, Zhang Yimo squeezed away Ah Chengcheng with a surprised expression and ran to me, looking left and right at me. I saw that his face was ruddy, full of confidence, and he should not have encountered any danger.
After he checked me like a courier, he asked me eagerly, "What's the matter with your foot?" Why is it all swollen like this? And your hands, why are they full of bruises and cuts? You fell down a hill and fell like this? "He couldn't imagine what happened to us and what happened to me.
"Well, it's a long story, we met a youkai and were injured like this in order to escape for our lives. How are you guys? Where's your videotalker? "I wanted to know what really happened at that time and why they didn't meet Master Liu.
"Youkai?!" Zhang Yimo didn't understand what I said, so he ignored this question for the time being, and answered my question: "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, just thinking that it must be a ring road, but we walked for about 5 minutes, and we found that it was not right, the whole mountain road is a spiral in Wangshan, and the road with only one side of the mountain wall gradually became a sandwich road in the mountain." At this time, I wanted to contact you again, only to find that the intercom pinned to my shoulder was missing, and the intercom of other people had no signal at all, and no one answered after shouting for a long time. Originally, we planned to go back the same way, but after retreating a few dozen meters, we found that this road had changed a lot from when we went all the way, and it was not the original road at all, so we could only continue to move forward with the mentality of being safe when we came. Zhang Yimo recounted what happened to them at that time, Ah Cheng and the others dragged all the other three members of our team to a house to settle down, and I looked at the puddle of rotten things at the entrance of the cave on the cave wall and felt sick to my stomach.
"We walked along that road for a long time, and there were more and more black rocks along the road, almost covering the entire road and the mountain walls on both sides, and some red cracks were shining from it, Ah Cheng said that it was very similar to what they saw in the smoky mountains back then, but this mountain seemed to be full of these scorched rocks, and the smoky mountains were only found in the caves in the mountains. On the first night we lost contact with you, we entered a long square corridor with strange symbols and patterns on the walls, and a thick layer of wax on the surface. Ah Cheng peeled back a piece of wax-covered porch wall and found that the stones inside were very damp. From the content and style of those patterns, he analyzed that the corridor should have appeared in the Inca tribe during that period, and it seems that the connection we are looking for should be related to the three major histories. ”
Zhang Yimo said halfway, sat down, reached out to pull my arm, I was really afraid that he didn't know that my hands and feet were broken, and hurriedly shouted at him: "Don't move, don't move!" Both of us have broken hands and feet! ”
He was stunned by my sudden shouting, paused for two seconds, and then looked at me with a puzzled face and asked, "It's all broken?!" ”
I nodded in affirmation, but I couldn't stop him from grabbing my arm. I saw that the momentum was unstoppable, so I could only grit my teeth and endure the pain, my eyes were closed, and my expression was painful.
"Are you stupid? Who told you that? Zhang Yimo grabbed my arm and looked at it twice, then laughed and said to me: "Except for a broken leg and a sprained hand, you are still connected!" Who told you it was all broken? ”
When I heard this, I opened my eyes sharply and looked at him, my mouth opening in surprise. He actually said I'm fine! How can it be? I tried to move, but I felt weakness and pain, and the doctor told me that my hands and feet were broken!
Zhang Yimo saw that I was surprised like that, and he couldn't stop laughing, reached out and took my hand and shook it up and down, and asked me: "Look, isn't this good, where is it broken?" ”
I watched my hand being held by him, and I really didn't feel any pain, and in order to verify the authenticity, I moved my arms and legs myself, and there was really nothing abnormal. What the hell is going on?!
"Because you're poisoned." Next to my ears is the voice of number 7. I subconsciously turned my head to see that a husky face on the 7th was in front of me, and I bumped into its nose, but it hurt me so much that I quickly covered my nose with my hand. Zhang Yimo watched my fascinated actions from the sidelines and frowned slightly.
Poisoning? Could it be because I just inhaled too many poisonous gases in those corpses? But what does this have to do with my broken hands and feet?
"It wasn't a corpse smell, I told them at the beginning didn't smell right. And you weren't poisoned by those gases, it should have been after I put you in this hole, and they gave you something to eat, so you were poisoned and hallucinated. "No. 7's voice is very serious, but his face looks so funny.
What do you mean... Did they poison me? I shouted in surprise to ask Number 7, the boss with staring eyes on the surface, and his eyebrows furrowed together.
"I'm not sure about that, because judging by their behavior, they themselves were poisoned." Number 7 turned his gaze to the three men who had been placed on the ground and had fallen asleep.
So where were you then?
I continued to ask No. 7 in my heart, but before it could answer, I was interrupted by Zhang Yimo.
"Little Gal, what do you want?" He saw that I had been looking at the air with a rich facial expression, and probably thought that I was neurosplit.
"Nothing... By the way, where did you come from? "I looked around and didn't see any other entrances.
Zhang Yimo pointed to the door that suddenly cracked from the wall just now and said: "That's from there, we bumped into the stone door for a long time, but when we came in, we saw two people desperately trying to push us back, and I also saw Xiao Yu holding you and limping back like a headless fly." ”
What the! He said they came out of that door?!
"You said you came out of that door?! But all we saw were a puddle of disgusting corpses! You see! Again, my mouth opened in astonishment, and I pointed in the direction of the door, trying to show him the rotten flesh and rotten water in front of me.
He looked in the direction of my finger, looked up and down with blank eyes, and said, "Nothing." ”
I looked at it myself, isn't there just a pile of corpses there?! "It's right there! How could you not see!? I questioned him anxiously.
Zhang Yimo's originally relaxed face suddenly changed to a serious expression, holding my face and staring at my eyes, looking at it for a few seconds, his eyes glared angrily and turned around to call Ah Cheng, and then took out a piece of soap from his bag, and forced me to chew it in my mouth and drink it. Then I threw up hard, and I vomited more than I had on No. 7's back! It felt like the soul was being dragged away by something, and the nose was full of tears.
After vomiting, I was close to collapse, and Ah Cheng washed my face with the remaining half bottle of water. I looked at Ah Cheng blankly, I couldn't think of anything in my head, and the only question was: Why? Why is there soap in Ah Cheng's bag?
I was already very weak, but after vomiting one after another, I finally fell asleep due to exhaustion.
By the time I woke up again, 12 hours had passed.
I looked at the people around me with hazy eyes and recorded and photographed in an orderly manner, Ah Cheng was next to me looking at the photos in the camera one by one, Zhang Yimo held my hand with one hand, and looked through the old notebook with the other hand. Xiao Yu and Doctor were both awake and sitting next to Ah Cheng writing and drawing, while Sneezy was still sleeping.
Zhang Yimo found that I was awake, looked at me and smiled reassuringly, and then picked up the kettle at hand to give me water. I pulled him to sit up, leaned against the wall and gasped, and said, "Zhang Yimo, you come." "He came closer and listened to me.
"Tell me, why is there soap in Ah Cheng's bag?"
When I asked this question, it triggered a series of chain reactions, first Zhang Yimo couldn't hold back his laughter, then Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ah Cheng in surprise, and finally the people around him coughed lightly in tacit understanding.
What does this mean?
Ah Cheng was immersed in his discovery, and was uncomfortable stared at by our hot eyes, raised his head blankly, saw the three of us staring at him with bright eyes and a smile, and asked weakly, "What's wrong with me bringing soap?" ”
"Nothing, nothing." The three of us shook our heads, our expressions subtle, and the corners of our mouths smiling.
"Don't talk about those useless things there, we have to hurry up and record the things in this cave now, maybe it will help us enter the Smoky Mountains later." Ah Cheng said seriously, completely ignoring the strange eyes of the three of us.
"Little Gal, do you recognize these symbols?" Ah Cheng pointed to the words on the wall and asked, and I nodded.
"That's good, you can write these symbols into words that we can understand, and then record them." Ah Hui gave me a notebook and a pencil all the time.
"Didn't Zhang Yimo say that you can judge the pictures and texts of the corridor outside, the content inside is the same as the pictures and texts outside." I don't understand why he doesn't know the inside when he knows what's outside.
"It's different, it's full of pictures outside, and it's also recorded in the literature. It's the same as the last time I showed you the same words on the stone, how could I recognize it? Ah Cheng explained.
Not the same? How do I see the same? Could it be that the text of the two corridors is different?
With questions, I picked up the notebook and pen in my hand and glanced at Zhang Yimo, meaning to ask him if there was anything to be afraid of, he smiled and nodded, indicating that he could write.
Over the next four hours, I carefully recorded all the words in the cave, which roughly read as follows:
There is a world beyond the world, we are like Russian dolls in the innermost world, if there is a way to open the door, then we can travel between different worlds at will. After many years of studying, a large group of people have opened this door, but instead of seeing the friendly world, they have seen the gods above us.
If Banka Buka wants to see the whole world, he must pass the test of God.
Ride the Seven Winds to find the Thirteen Stone Men who will guide us to anger, remembering that the color of anger will allow us to see darkness and lead to endless reincarnation. The puzzle of the tree of life could not be solved, and he walked forward with doubts, and saw his white eyes.
God is all around us, and we are in the palm of God's hand. Don't try to escape God and forget that you come from God. The stars and the moon are on the ground, we are stepping on the broken, God is in pain, hold his hand and don't let him go.
That's all there is to it, and as far as I can see, this is already important, and the rest is all strange counting, irregular.
When I handed them the translation, they were visibly skeptical. Ah Cheng shouted at me even more angrily, "Little Gal! You're really enough! Tell me how you covered the cave? ”
I reluctantly explained, "That's all there is content, and everything else is numbers." ”
But Ah Cheng still didn't believe it, and muttered complainingly: "You just rely on you to understand these words, so save the content!" Let me tell you, do you know that even a small text can help us find clues! ”
"Oops, why are you so stupid as a big man? We didn't scan all the text here, even if there was something missing, we could go back and read it slowly. I replied impatiently, and the pain in my feet began to increase, and I began to feel a little irritable. Master Liu, they don't know what's going on, I just hope we can get out as soon as possible.
Zhang Yimo agreed with me, stood up, patted his pants, looked around, and then lit a cigarette and began to smoke.
No. 7 was sleeping next to him, and was woken up by the smell of Zhang Yimo's smoke, so he turned his head and asked me unhappily: "You want to burn this cave?" ”
"No, it's a cigarette, it's smoking. By the way, you should have heard my inner meditation when I read it, anyway, that's all the text has content, and the rest are numbers, they don't say I'm missing words, you give me a comment, I'm missing words. I grunted and complained to Number 7.
"Those aren't numbers, they're names." No. 7 said: "Banka Buka actually means human beings, but there are many differences in civilization at that time, and there are differences in terms of titles and descriptions from now. ”
"Then tell me, are these words different from the ones outside?" When it knows these words, I have a person to discuss, unlike other people, who can only wait for me to translate and question me.
"Please! It's definitely different.,The characters inside are the first words.,The outside is the improved text.。 I'm just a notepad, but I've been living with them since Banka Buka came along! Number 7 reminisced as he spoke, a nostalgic look in his husky-like eyes.
"Well, in other words, Banka Buka is in your time, and the words outside are in the era after Banka Buka. So they all use numbers as their names? "I can't imagine them using numbers.
"There was no difference between you and me at that time, everyone knew that they came from God, but they were different before and after, so their names were just numbers."
"Then the largest number I see here already starts with 10,000, are there a lot of them?" I asked No. 7 stupidly.
"In the beginning, the gods were not angry, so the appearance of Banka Buka was only to develop civilization, they were distributed in all corners of the world, and it was natural that they were numerous. They don't care, they just work day in and day out to answer God's enshrined questions. "No. 7 was choking on the smoke and sneezing.
I beckoned Zhang Yimo to cherish the air, but Zhang Yimo lit the second one, and then looked at me with a serious expression and said, "Little Gal, have you noticed that I can actually light a cigarette at such a high altitude, and the direction of this cigarette is actually falling into the ground." ”
I looked at the cigarette he lit in his hand, indeed! The smoke seemed to be heavy, falling straight to the ground. How does this work?
Next to him, Ah Cheng was not listening to us, he was concentrating on studying the words I translated. Xiao Yu had been helping to scan the text before, but now he was too tired to fall asleep on the ground, and Doctor and Sneezy joined the team, so busy that they didn't have time to pay attention to me.
I stopped them and let them see the strange situation of this smoke, Xiao Yu was hit in the face by a broken stone I woke up, he heard us say that this smoke is strange, carefully observed, and came to a conclusion that there is a smoke exhaust system underground, or that there is a ventilation design underground.
Ah Cheng and Xiao Yushui were incompatible, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they choked Xiao Yu and said, "Do you think this is your central kitchen?" If there is a smoke exhaust system, the smoke should spread out and fall, how can it go down in a straight line? The smoke fell straight down, indicating that it was heavy. ”
"So you mean we're lighter than this smoke?" Xiao Yu asked Ah Cheng with a disdainful sneer.
The two of them were about to tear each other apart, but Zhang Yimo said coldly: "It may be... It's us who are on the opposite side. ”
As soon as he said this, several of us were stupid, and asked in a daze, "What do you mean?" You mean we're standing on the ceiling? ”
Zhang Yimo nodded hesitantly. My first instinct was to look at No. 7, who knew that the thing had already heard my inner monologue, and I said at a glance: "I don't know, I don't know much more about the situation in this mountain than you know." However, this is not impossible. ”
Oh, my God! Even No. 7 said so, it seems that Zhang Yimo's assumption is very likely to be true!
"If we're standing on the ceiling, where are we attracted by gravity?" I've seen a movie about two planets that are very close to each other, but gravity is the opposite, and people in both worlds can only be attracted by the gravity of the original planet... Isn't that right? We now have another planet? It's different from what it says in the movie...
Ah Cheng saw that I unconditionally began to accept Zhang Yimo's hypothesis, and immediately questioned: "We have walked from the outside of the mountain to the middle of the mountain all the way, and we are going down more and more, and we have never felt that we have come upside down on the road." He stood up and pulled his hair and said, "You see, if I pull my hair up and let it go, it will still hang down on top of my head, so we must have our feet on the ground, and if we do a handstand, our brains will get congested, and we will soon feel uncomfortable." None of these phenomena can be inexplicably reversed? ”
He said that the situation is that there is only one magnetic field here, and we have been down-to-earth all the way, and there is no sign of going backwards, if it is really two magnetic fields opposing each other, we should be hanging in the air. What the hell is going on?
"Since entering this mountain, many things have been contrary to our normal principles, and we cannot use conventional thinking to deal with anything that is happening here. If there is a smoke extraction system, you may not be able to do so. Xiao Yu interjected objectively, but was still pushed back by the tough Ah Cheng.
"Everything has to be based on evidence, even if it is something that we think is unreasonable, it has a reason that can be explained." Ah Cheng said as he turned his back to Xiao Yu, his face full of disdain. It's really wrong.
No. 7 didn't know when it was gone, Zhang Yimo squatted down to watch the direction of the smoke. The smoke came out of the cigarette in Zhang Yimo's hand, hung straight to the ground, hit the floor and spread out and then slowly drifted to the right side of the entire cave, it seems that there is a ventilated place on the right side of the cave anyway.
My legs and feet are so inconvenient that I can only call other people not to argue about meaningless things.
"The ventilation should be the place connected to the outside, and we should go out first." I said out loud. The other team members finished their work and came over one after another to sit next to us and listen to the demolition. Now that Zhang Yimo is here, they have become as silent as before.
Xiao Yu cooperated with Zhang Yimo and walked forward little by little in the direction where the smoke drifted, carefully observing the corner of the wall on the right side of the cave with his eyes, Ah Cheng sat awkwardly in place.
The corridor we came in was directly in front of me, and Zhang Yimo and they checked the corner of the mountain wall on my right. According to our speculation before entering the mountain, there is a high probability that there is a mountain road tunnel leading to other places in this mountain, and I doubt that the direction in which the smoke drifted is where the tunnel is located.
Thinking of this, I couldn't wait to observe the whole cave left and right.
Starting from the corridor we came from, it extends to the back position on the left, which is the doorway where Ah Cheng and the others entered, so these two roads should be the two entrances to this mountain. The road we took was a road that could not be turned back, and the doorway where Zhang Yimo and the others came in, in addition to the fact that there were no rotting corpses, seemed to be the same as our corridor, and it was also a strange road with no return. We can only hope for us to guess at the beginning, hoping to find a normal way out of the country.
The cave was filled with red light, and the two paths into the cave were pitch black, and the ground inside the cave was a large circle of circular platforms, and then descended layer by layer, like a circular staircase. The walls around it were very smooth, there were no extra stones, and on the wall next to the doorway where Ah Cheng and the others had entered, there was a black wall about two meters high and sixty centimeters wide. At first I saw the black wall, but it didn't pay attention to it, but now when I look at it again, I vaguely feel like a shadow.
How can there be shadows? All of this light came from the stone, even if it was a shadow, the whole cave was full of light, and it should be a lot of ghosts. Or maybe there is no inscription on that wall, so there is no light to shine through.
I gave myself a reasonable explanation and stopped looking at the black wall.
The others gathered on Zhang Yimo's side one after another, and they searched the corners of the walls carefully, and found that the smoke was drifting into the words in those corners. It seems that the back of that wall should be empty, or there is a passage to the outside.
"Smashing the wall?" Xiao Yu asked coldly. Ah Fei came to make a fuss, and as soon as he heard that he was going to destroy a wall full of words, he blew up in an instant.
"Nothing here can be destroyed! You have no idea how precious these things are! He yelled. I think he's become a little paranoid since he came into this cave with words, and if he could, he would have liked to live here forever.
"Ah Cheng, don't do this, the most important thing for us is to get out quickly, the longer we take it here, the more dangerous it will be, if little Ghal's foot injury is infected, then we will regret it too late." Xiao Yu put down the mustard for the first time and reasoned with Ah Cheng.
Although Ah Cheng was full of reluctance in his heart, considering the comfort of the large army, he was awkward for two seconds, and then got up and reluctantly joined Zhang Yimo and their actions.
I see that it is rare for them to reach a consensus, and my heart is much more steady. As soon as he turned his head, his eyes were on the black wall again.
I don't know if it's because I'm dazzled, the black wall seems to be a little wrong, and I can't tell what's wrong, but it's different from before.
"Little Gal?"
After a few minutes, Zhang Yimo came over to get a cigarette, saw that I had been staring at the front and frowned, thinking that something was wrong, and asked me in a low voice: "What are you looking at?" ”
I pointed to the black wall, not knowing how to describe what was going on in my heart. Zhang Yimo looked in the direction of my finger and saw the black wall. Now it seemed that the black wall was more obvious than before, and a circle of dark red light outlined the outline of a human figure, looming inside the wall.
"Someone!" Zhang Yimo let out a low roar, threw away his cigarette and walked quickly to the black wall, carefully touching the rocks on the surface. The others instantly went on alert, pressing their hands to their waists, waiting for something to break out.
I couldn't move in place, and my heart began to get nervous, the outline that had been outlined was two meters high, at least two meters high, and the four characters were extremely thick, and it didn't look like a thing to be messed with, and I didn't know if there were still fangs on my face.
I don't understand why Zhang Yimo's first reaction was to paste it instead of finding a place to do more, he touched the wall with his hand little by little, probed left and right, and then raised his hand to let others relax.
"The things in here look a bit like people, and I can see up close that there are also lines of clothes in the light. It's just that this thing is at least half a meter or so inside the wall, how did it get in? Zhang Yimo walked over to me with a puzzled face, picked up the cigarette he had just thrown away and lit it.
Ah Cheng saw that it was okay, and immediately put down the things in his hand and wanted to run towards the black wall, but he didn't know what to scruple about, so he slowed down again, walked to Zhang Yimo and squatted down.
"Xiao Mo, is it hot when you touch that wall?" Ah Cheng was a little quiet when he asked this, as if he was afraid of being heard, and his voice trembled.
Zhang Yimo nodded lightly. Ah Cheng got Zhang Yimo's answer, his eyes immediately widened and his mouth widened, his face was full of panic to the point of distortion, and he fell to the ground suddenly, and his hands supporting the ground trembled.
"What's wrong with you?" I was worried that he was having some seizure and was anxious to care for him. Unexpectedly, he pushed me away, and my leaning body was knocked over by him and fell to the ground. Zhang Yimo came over and pulled me up, hit Ah Cheng with a backhand punch on the side of his face, and glared angrily at Ah Cheng who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
"Why did you hit him?" I couldn't understand Zhang Yimo's actions, and shouted at him with some blame.
"That's his teammate who died a few years ago!" Zhang Yimo said, "I looked into the wall just now, although the light was very dim, but the person was wearing the uniform of their previous expedition. ”
"Huh!?" I couldn't help but feel horrified! Ah Cheng said that those people were all dead, and the bodies could not be found, but now Zhang Yimo said that inside the black wall was Ah Cheng's teammate who died a few years ago! Is this a ghost?!
"You mean he killed those people?!" I asked along his mind.
"It's not." Zhang Yimo sat me on the ground.
"Then what are you hitting him for?" I asked, puzzled.
"Because he pushed you." He replied coldly. Everyone present is estimated to be full of black lines...
Ah Cheng, who was knocked to the ground by a punch next to him, looked at Zhang Yimo with an aggrieved face, and was about to cry. Zhang Yimo was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Xiao Yu's words.
"Come on! It's empty here. Xiao Yu has been squatting in the corner of the wall over there, looking for a gap where the smoke will float out.
Ah Cheng covered his face and got up and went to Xiao Yu's side, Zhang Yimo was still smoking coldly.
"What's going on over there?" The thought of a possible way to the outside world made me excited and asked urgently.
Ah Cheng and Xiao Yu said something in pieces, but they didn't answer me, and the others didn't speak much in front of Zhang Yimo. I pulled Zhang Yimo and asked, "If it's just a small void, what are we going to do?" ”
"Even if it's a hole, it means that its direction is connected to the outside, so we don't have to wander around this mountain all the time." Xiao Yu answered coldly, and immediately turned his head to look at him. He stood up, shook his numb legs, and limped over, dragging something in his hand.
"Can you read what is written on it?" Xiao Yu squatted down and handed the thing in his hand to me.
The thing was boxy, earthy, shiny, and densely engraved with letters. I took it in my hand and asked Ah Cheng for paper and pen, covered the paper on the stone and gently smeared it with a pen, and expanded the content of the thing to the paper little by little.
"Do you know what it's written on?" Xiao Yu asked again.
I looked closely at the letters on it, it was Italian. How can there be an Italian language here? Has anyone else been here? Regardless of those, take a look at the content first.
"It's a legend that once upon a time in the Andes there lived a group of white-skinned people with white skin and visible veins. They speak a language that the world does not understand, and they have lived for an unknown number of years in the milky stone henge in the Cherstiar forest. One day, seven young men came to the milky stone henge, and when they returned, they all became different from the original, either into brutal warlords, cunning politicians, or crazy murderers. The biggest change was a young man named Garmor, who was originally a cheerful boy, but when he returned to his hometown after going to the milky stone henge, he became gloomy and drunk all day long, and before long his family was nowhere to be found, and he no longer returned home, but wandered on the side of the road at the entrance of the village. Since that seven-man expedition, no one dared to approach the milky white henge, and the people were afraid of the place, fearing misfortune if anyone did not enter it, so they decided to jointly burn the white-skinned people in the stone henge. That night the fire reflected the sky, the fire made the whole Chelstiar forest less polished, the trees were burned in the fire crackling, but the group of white-skinned people were unmoved, they formed a circle in the milky stone henge, sat on the ground hand in hand, and sang a song like the wind, even if the fire burned on the body, there was no pain **. Just like that, the fire burned everything away, and the blackened corpses of the 193 white-skinned men sat in a circle in the center of the stone formation after the fire was extinguished. Since then, there has been no vegetation in the forests of Celstyar, and there is always a wind in the air that is as hot as fire, and the sound of the wind is very similar to the song that the white-skinned men sang before they died. It was believed to be a resentment and curse of the white-skinned people, so no one dared to set foot in the Chelstiar forest again. ”
I translated the contents into Chinese and read them to them.
They listened silently as I read it, not knowing whether it was because of the fear of the forest from the change of the seven young men, or because of the heartache and cruelty of the people, and for a minute after I finished reading, no one spoke.
This is a classic legend of communication failure, where people choose fear and disbelief in the unknown. Because of the subjective rejection, it is extremely difficult and important to understand it later. I remember there was a movie that I really agree with: when you want to win against the other person, you try to understand the other person, when you know the other person well enough, you fall in love with the other person, and when you fall in love with the other person, you want to protect the other person. If everyone was willing to communicate, then there would not be so many wars and misunderstandings.
The pain in my foot forced me to break the silence.
"Is it going to be useful for us to get out?" I asked Ah Cheng next to me. By the time I felt the legend, he had come up to me and listened intently to the story. Of course, according to his usual thinking, he was already in tears at this moment. What a sentimental person.
As soon as Ah Cheng was asked by me, he immediately came back to his senses, wiped the tears and snot from his face, cleared his throat and said, "It's not helpful." One can only tell that there was an Italian here, or someone who could speak Italian, and it is possible that he also encountered what we encountered, or that he found an exit in that place. ”
"You say..."I thought of a possibility: "Could it be that this stone belongs to Shen Ye?" He's an explorer, and this kind of thing could be his collection or something. Didn't you say that the last place he appeared was in the Andes? Could it be that he went out of here to find the forest in the story? ”
"It's not impossible." Ah Cheng listened to my analysis and felt that it made some sense. He put his chin in his hand and thought seriously about the possibility.
"Then there must be an exit for this!" Xiao Yu said conclusively: "If it is really that Shen Ye's, his textbook-like existence will definitely be marked here." ”
"Didn't he go alone?" I don't understand, why do you need to mark when you go out alone, what is the point of that?
Ah Cheng was reminded by Xiao Yu, and with a flash of inspiration, he clapped his legs with both hands and got up suddenly, and walked quickly to the place just now to seriously look for something that might be a mark.
I played with the yellowstone block in my hand and had a bold guess.
"Number 7!" I whispered.
"What's wrong?" A husky's head slowly emerges from hand.
"You said that the white-skinned man in the story I read just now could be the one who carved the words in this cave?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of this legend, but there have been huge fires in the Andes." Number 7 rested his head on my lap. My leg couldn't be touched, but it didn't hurt at all when it put its head on my lap.
"By the way, you said that when you lived with Banka Buka, you couldn't have been in this kind of cave, right?" I asked number 7.
"The world was small at the time, and Banka Buka lived in all corners of the world. There were no such alpine caves at that time. After 7 finished speaking, he walked towards the black wall with his tail flat.
I looked along its ass, and the outline of the black wall still made my hair stand on end, and I always felt that the black shadow in it was moving, and I thought about what if it slowly crawled out of the wall and ate us.
Xiao Yu came over and whispered to me: "I guess we are going to dig and loot this time, and the mountaineering tools we brought can still come in handy." ”
Ah Cheng looked over there and looked for it, but he didn't find any clues, he leaned on a raised sharp stone with some frustration, and smashed the cave wall with his fist, I looked at him, and I was inexplicably looking forward to what miracle would happen, such as his hand was bleeding, and then what mechanism was activated. However, it didn't.
He just smashed it like that, and it clicked. After more than 2 minutes, I was dizzy from the noise, and I impatiently extinguished the cigarette butt and scolded, "Can you stop pounding that damn wall?" I was dizzy when I heard it. ”
"I didn't knock it, I knocked it twice when I started." Ah Cheng was aggrieved and shouted grievances over there, so all I heard was an echo? Are all the voices echoing in my own head? Did I have a concussion, or did the knocking sound have the effect of lingering for three days?
"That can't! There must be a voice! I've been listening to it for a long time, haven't you kept your hand on the wall without stopping? I'm looking at it. "He said I heard it wrong, so my eyes can't be wrong, right?!
"Haven't I moved my hand?" He raised his right hand and shook it. I looked closely, and sure enough, his hand had just been raised, but...
"That," I asked, pointing in the direction next to him, "Whose hand is it?" ”
