Chapter 5: Fear in the Dark

The night was dark and the wind was high, the mountain wind was howling, and under the light of several high-powered flashlights, four people were constantly knocking on the lock on the iron door with a crowbar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The chain and the lock on it had a key, but it was so rusted that it took a lot of effort to open it.

After a few more attempts, a few people simply got on the hook.

Fortunately, this big lock is made of brass, and it is not very strong, and after being greeted by a crowbar axe, it is decisively unable to support it.

Because he didn't want to open this door, Xing Tianyu was also weak and weak to work, and he was forcibly replaced by Xiao Zhen, who saw the signs of it, after only a few smashes.

This will Xiao Zhen and Qin Mingzheng slam the door together, one of them likes to take risks and explore the unknown, and the other is very excited about the property he is about to get, which is really full of energy.

"I said, why don't you want to see what's inside?" Ning Wenrui, who was standing aside to rest, suddenly asked.

Xing Tianyu glanced at Ning Wenrui.

Although what Ning Wenrui said just now was very reasonable, Xing Tianyu always felt that the other party was deliberately guiding Qin Ming to open that door to satisfy his curiosity.

Sometimes he doesn't like Ning Wenrui's character of thinking too much, although he admits that Ning Wenrui is a little clever and thinks a lot on weekdays, but sometimes, he feels that this kid is obviously a little too self-conscious, and he is a little too confident in his IQ, so at this time he feels that he needs to give this roommate who is only half a year younger than him a little life guidance.

Sighing, Xing Tianyu said in a low tone, "Let me tell you why, when I was very young, my heart was also full of curiosity, and I always felt that this world was full of magical secrets, and there were countless unknowns waiting for me to explore.

Whether there are unknown aliens in the universe, whether there are monsters in the depths of the ocean, whether there are ancient civilizations in the center of the earth, all kinds of strange ideas are always attracting me, and a voice in the dark tells me that I am destined to find the truth behind those great secrets in my life.

Of course, those things were too far away for me when I was still in elementary school, and I thought that I would have to wait until I became a scientist in college and built a spaceship or a deep-sea submarine, but not every unknown secret was so far away from me, there were two unknown secrets that were so close to me, so close that they were almost within reach.

The first thing that attracted me was what was behind the mountain across from my house.

The second target was what was in the hole on the west side of the village.

The desire for the unknown truth tormented me like a thorn in my back forever, and one day I finally made up my mind to find out the truth of the matter.

I first brought enough food and spent the whole morning climbing to the top of the hill, and I finally saw the scene behind the mountain from the top of the mountain. ”

"What's that?" Ning Wenrui asked curiously.

"A small town, a small town that I used to go to often, but because I used to take a long detour by car every time, I didn't know that our village and that town were separated by a mountain."

Hearing this answer, Ning Wenrui was obviously a little disappointed and speechless. An expression that your sister isn't playing with me?

Xing Tianyu smiled, "I'm also very disappointed to see this result, but hey, the truth and answer of many things are just so plain, isn't it." ”

"But I didn't give up, and the next day, I came to the entrance to the cave on the west side of the village, which was a crack that sloped downward, as if it had been formed by an earthquake more than ten years ago, because of the angle, the hole was dark and there was no bottom in sight.

The adults always warned the children to stay away from the hole, and all sorts of terrible stories were woven to intimidate the children from approaching the hole, but because of this, the hole had a mystery in the hearts of our little ones, but no one dared to go down until that morning.

I tied a rope to the trunk of a large tree next to the cave, and climbed down the rope, the hole was very narrow, almost half a foot wide in many places, but because I was a small child, I was stunned and squeezed down, and finally, after climbing more than ten meters, I approached the bottom of the hole. ”

"What's down there?" Ning Wenrui asked in a calm voice, but the curiosity in his eyes betrayed his heart.

"Snakes, a lot of snakes, it turns out that there is a lot of sand under the hole, so it is used as a place for hibernation by snakes, there are hundreds of snakes entrenched at the bottom of the hole, when my flashlight shines on it, I am immediately frightened by what I see, those thoughts of finding secrets are completely left behind me, what adventure, what unknown, all of them are not as good as the hot kang head at home and the dinner made by my mother."

I struggled to climb up, but because I was too panicked, I was stuck in a gap in the cave in the process of climbing, I couldn't go up or down, I couldn't breathe, the darkness around me was incomparable, and what was worse was that my flashlight didn't know where it fell, I couldn't move in the dark, for the first time in my life, I felt so stupid, why did I get into this hole inexplicably? I felt like I was going to die, and the snakes would surely climb up and bite me, and even if the snakes didn't climb up, I would starve to death or die of cold sooner or later. ”

Xing Tianyu said, his face showed a trace of fear, the memories of the past resurfaced in his mind at this time, the memories that had been blurred, those fears that were once forgotten, but at this time they became so vivid, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, he originally thought that he had forgotten it.

"And then?"

Xing Tianyu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Then, and then I could only resign myself to fate, I was stuck in the dark for more than ten hours, my family was looking for me like crazy, and the people in the village also came to help, and the last old man who was herding the cattle found the rope tied to the tree and called for someone, I was finally rescued, and the bruises and strong fright made me lie in the hospital for three days, and I went home after three days, and my parents didn't blame me, nor did they persuade me anything, because they knew, Such a terrible experience in reality is more effective than any rational counsel, and the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that I survived such a perilous experience, and such luck is not shared by everyone, and I have learned one thing from that day-

The search for the unknown and the mysterious is always accompanied by crises and misfortunes, sometimes we will find that the truth of the matter is unremarkable, and that may have been the result of extreme luck, and sometimes we will find that in that deep and dark cavern, we are waiting for us with realistic and cruel answers, so that the sane me has not gone on unnecessary adventures since then. ”

Speaking of this, Xing Tianyu suddenly raised his head and looked at Ning Wenrui.

"You may think I'm too timid, but only cowardly people can live a long life, and it's not for nothing that we inherited the gene of fear of darkness from our ancestors."

The sound of metal colliding interrupted the conversation between the two people, and the two looked up, but Xiao Zhen had already smashed the door lock open.

"Looks like we're running out of options, isn't it? Xing Tianyu said and the crowbar, let's see what kind of unknown is hidden in this hole. ”

Ning Wenrui opened his mouth to speak, opened his mouth, but finally didn't say it.
