Chapter 10: The Silent Cave

The low wooden house, the dim human skin lanterns, the broken decorations, everything seemed unusual, and the more Gao Qing thought about it, the more he felt that the wind was blowing, and he pulled his thin coat.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Gao Qing felt a little messy for the first time.

"Do you think that old lady is a ghost?" Lan Lan asked courageously.

Encountering people who were originally extinct twenty years ago in the inexplicable mountains and forests makes people feel a little creepy. Thinking of how did he come here with Gao Qing in a daze? Shouldn't these matters be left to the police? I'm not a chivalrous woman, and Gao Qing is not a hero, the question is whether this strange driver will be a big bad wolf, I don't know, pray that his psychology is a normal person, right? The more Lan Lan thinks about it, the funnier it gets, is this fate?

"Probably not, if she wants to harm us, there is no need to give us the lantern at all." The driver shook his head.

Finally decided to wait until dawn first? The three of them had no choice but to sit down in this terrifying hut and concentrate on what to do.

But how can one gather spirit in the face of exhaustion? Sure enough, Lan Lan's eyelids trembled after about an hour, and now she can still stay awake, completely supported by perseverance.

"Why don't you go to sleep first?" Gao Qing looked at the head next to him and asked with concern like a chicken pecking rice.

Don't say it's a girl, but you don't know how long you can last? I was poisoned in the mountains, and I walked for nearly several kilometers, and now I am very tired, but how dare I sleep?

Lan Lan looked up at the boy in front of her, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes flowed with gratitude. I didn't postpone it too much, I was already very tired today, and now I have to concentrate on staying up late, I really can't do it.

"Uncle, where are we going to find clues tomorrow?" Gao Qing hoped that after he could figure things out tomorrow, he hurried back, this place made him more and more uneasy, it seemed that something ominous was about to happen, Gao Qing had always believed in his feelings.

"Let's go to the foot of the back room, I went there today and found it a little unusual." The driver clicked on the cigarette in his mouth, and the smoke was so thick that he could barely see his face.

"Why don't you lie down for a while? The body's immune system has not fully recovered. Gao Qing cast a grateful look at the driverใ€ใ€ใ€ใ€

In this way, the three of them spent an 'unforgettable' night in the house.

The air in the morning in the mountains and forests is very good, the straight birch trees are rising, bathed in the warmth of the sun, a breeze blows, and the early Lan Lan pulls his collar. 'Is it really cold in the morning?' He muttered, as if complaining about the humidity of the mountain forest.

"Awake? How did you sleep last night? Gao Qing's voice came from beside him.

Gao Qing also knew that he was talking nonsense, how could he sleep in a room where there was nothing? Except for a plank that could knock a man to death, there was almost nothing left.

"It's good, are you feeling well?" Lan Lan showed a sweet smile to Gao Qing, Gao Qing was stunned all of a sudden, it was so beautifulใ€ใ€ใ€ใ€

Lan Lan knew what he was thinking when he looked at Gao Qing's pig brother-like expression. My cheeks are red again, why do you keep blushing with this guy?

Could it be that I really like him? Thinking of this, he found that his face was getting hotter and hotter, and turned around and ran towards the house.

Gao Qing scratched his head in the back. What's the situation? This kid can't be frostbite, thinking of this, Gao Qing hurriedly ran to the door and knocked on the door.

"Lanlan, are you alright? Isn't it uncomfortable? I see your face is red, it can't be a fever, right? Gao Qing asked anxiously, and waited for a long time before a sentence came out, I'm fine.

After Gao Qing walked away, Lan Lan opened the door and looked at Gao Qing's back. He cursed an idiot in a low voice, stomped his foot and closed the door.

The driver happened to walk towards Gaoqing from a short distance, and his expression was a little ugly.

"Uncle, did you find anything?" Now Gao Qing just wants to leave as soon as he gets things straight, and he always feels a little uneasy, as if there is really some bad omen to happen.

"There's a cave at the back of the street, but it's too dark inside, so I'll come back and get a light."

When Gao Qing heard the cave, he immediately thought of a terrifying movie, black silence. Looking at the driver in front of him, he clenched his hands and seemed to have a lot of courage.

"I'll go with you and have a look." Hearing the conversation between the two outside the door, Lan Lan opened the door and walked out with a travel bag. The meaning is obvious, I'm going with you.

Gao Qing shook his head helplessly, walked in front of Lan Lan, and took the travel bag.

"You're still waiting in the cabin, we'll see and come back." asked Gao Qing to take a girl to an unknown inexplicable cave, he didn't want to go himself, but he had to figure things out, so he had to go.

"I want to be with you, I'm afraid of being alone here." Lan Lan looked around, except for the two rows of dilapidated wooden houses, the others were basically trees, and it was indeed a bit scary to have a girl here.

Gao Qing was embarrassed for a while, indeed, it may not be safe to stay here, last night's incident can scare him a lot, but take it, and I don't know if there will be any danger, it was difficult for a while, looking at Gao Qing It didn't seem to want to take herself, Lan Lan had to cast a look at the driver for help.

"Why don't you bring it? It's not safe for a girl to be here, and three people have more or less to take care of together. The driver said to Gao Qing, Gao Qing thought about it, and did not refute the driver's words, multiple people are fine, but they definitely do not rely on each other's care, if there is really danger, they must take care of her first, and then they can escape, thinking of this, Gao Qing's head is big again.

Hearing that the two agreed to take him with her, Lan Lan hurriedly promised to obey the command. In this way, the three of them carried their travel bags and walked to the cave behind the street, at this time the sky was a little dark, the sunlight was blocked by the towering trees, and occasionally a few rays of sunlight spilled through the cracks in the leaves.

The streets are paved with green bricks, heavy and smooth, perhaps no one has walked for many years, and the road is covered with moss and grass.

The small road wooden house is a family, and the ancient street is a poor person.

Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at their destination, the mountain is not very high, but it covers a wide area, except for a few lonely mulberry trees on the mountain, and the dog's tail grass is mostly done, which looks a little bleak and pale.

There is a gap in the southeast of the mountain, and the entrance of the cave is covered with weeds, if you don't look carefully, you really can't imagine that there will be a cave here, the width of the cave entrance is very large, and you can only walk into two people side by side.

The three of them approached the entrance of the cave, their feet on the weeds, and there was an indescribable feeling. Lime can be found everywhere around the cave entrance, which shows that it is a mountain formed by Gaoyan patterned stones.

The lime was extracted from the patterned stone, and the three of them looked at the entrance of the cave.

It's strange that there isn't even a single animal at the entrance of the cave, not even ants, which is a bit unusual.

The three of them walked into the cave along the entrance, the power of the lighting is still very large, the hole is illuminated brightly, like daylight, so that the three of them walk up is much more convenient, the more Gao Qing walks, the more strange he feels, I don't know that there are no animals outside the cave, how there is no even inside the cave, Gao Qing took the lamp to check around on the wall of the cave, touched it with his hand, a little stinging.

By the way, Gao Qing patted his head, and finally thought of why not a single ant could be seen inside and outside the cave.

Gao Qing shone the lamp on the place he had touched and called the two of them.

"No wonder there are no snakes, insects, rats and ants, what do you see here?" Gao Qing pointed to the wall in front of him, Lan Lan shook his head directly, indicating that he didn't know what it was, and the driver stepped forward to sniff it.

"Is this brimstone?" Gao Qing smiled and nodded.

Indeed, there was so much brimstone on the wall that the little animals would not want to come in.

"How can there be brimstone here?" Lan Lan asked puzzled.

Sulfur is actually a mineral left over from volcanic eruptions, and after a long period of contact with the air, it finally becomes like this. Sulfur has a wide range of uses, mainly for dyes, pesticides, matches, gunpowder, rayonใ€ใ€ใ€ which has a distinctive odor, yellowish crystals or powder.

As you can see, the sulfur in this cave is naturally pure sulfur. So those snakes, insects, rats and ants didn't dare to approach. Gao Qing explained to the two of them, and he followed the sulfur on the wall until he saw the foot of the wall.

"It's ใ€ใ€ใ€?" The two saw that Gao Qing had made another discovery, leaned over to Gao Qing, and the three of them squatted on the ground together, Gao Qing used a branch to pluck the white powder or granules at the foot of the wall, and looked at it in his hand.

The pupils constricted in disbelief. Is this salt? No iodized salt.

How can there be salt here? Could it be that this is ใ€ใ€ใ€? Gao Qing didn't dare to think any further, so he stood up and walked to the depths of the cave with a lamp.
