Silent Lighthouse
The night was inadvertently sprinkled on the earth with a little starlight.
After climbing over a hill that was not too steep, Yu Siqi followed Father Ann and them to a long-abandoned lighthouse. The main entrance to the lighthouse has been blocked by falling rocks, but the windows on the second floor are broken, and it seems to be a good entrance.
"Let's spend the night there today, after all, this is the seaside, and if you camp in the wild, even if you don't get attacked, it can easily cause a cold and other factors that are not good for your health." Father Ann said, pointing to the lighthouse.
"I'm starting to understand why you're insisting on taking us this way instead of going straight to the village." Gong Chen carefully looked at the lighthouse that was tens of meters high and said, "Dare you have determined the direction and plan from the beginning, you are worthy of being a priest." ”
"Actually, it's not exactly, I just accidentally caught a glimpse of the faint traces of buildings here during the battle with that shark, and I was a little curious, so I brought you here."
Father Ann clapped his hands, and in a very agile manner, easily climbed to the window on the second floor, cleaned up the garbage on the edge a little, and then climbed in.
The golden light illuminated the entire lighthouse as Father Ann entered, and even Yu Siqi, who was waiting outside, saw a strange species thanks to these lights: a rabbit without ears. It flickered through the grass before disappearing into the depths of darkness beyond the reach of light.
Such a strange species not only attracted Yu Siqi's attention, but also made William in his pocket can't help but poke out the bird's head a few more times, trying to figure out if it is just his own 'illusion'.
Gong Chen followed Yu Siqi's gaze and poked his head to look, but he didn't see anything 'interesting'. So he couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" ”
"I saw a rabbit without ears." Yu Siqi replied.
"Don't be stupid, how can a rabbit not have ears. Is your common sense all... Wait, it seems that the fact that sharks grow legs is a bit out of the realm of common sense... Forget it, leave it alone. Gong Chen, who was about to say something to Siqi, suddenly realized that he seemed to have made an extremely 'stupid' mistake, and in order to avoid this embarrassment, he decided to find an additional topic to distract Siqi, but unfortunately failed.
Fortunately, at this moment, Father Ann had already cleared the pile of rubble blocking the gate, leaned against the door and looked at them and said, "Although I don't mind you continuing to wander outside, after all, you are all adults, and you are allowed to have your own 'private time'. But are you sure you don't come in and sit down? It's rare that I took a little effort to take care of it! ”
Now that Father An has spoken, Yu Siqi naturally doesn't bother to reveal Gongchen's shortcomings. They looked at each other, and then accepted the priest's invitation to enter the lighthouse.
The debris and rubble as far as the eye could see were moved by Father Ann to the corners of the walls, piled up to the ceiling. The entire first floor of the lighthouse has been emptied, and the staircase leading to the second floor has long since been broken into several pieces due to disrepair. Seeing this, Yu Siqi could almost conclude that Father An must not have come down through 'formal means' just now.
"It's smaller than I expected, I thought there was an upstairs! After all, there are so many floors, but you can't reach the top of the tower. Gong Chen pouted and complained.
"If you're willing to climb the wall with your bare hands, I'm sure I'll be very supportive of you going up and exploring the way for us." Father An, who turned to enter the room, turned sideways slightly, pointed to the broken staircase and said, "Don't expect too much from that thing, even the stairs upstairs are rotten." ”
Gong Chen's enthusiasm was instantly dispelled by Father An's words, but when he stood there in a daze with his head down, Father An patted him on the shoulder with a pleasant face and said, "Don't be too depressed, little brother. Although there is no way up. But the way down is still there. ”
"What's the way down? Also, how did I become your 'little brother'. Gong Chen muttered unhappily, but unfortunately his voice was too soft, and Yu Siqi had to lean closer to where they were to barely hear it. Of course, after getting the relevant 'tips', he naturally wouldn't join the 'daily debate' between Father An and Gong Chen. Instead, he turned his head and focused on searching for the so-called way down.
Since Father Ann has already given hints, it probably means that he has found a clue. Or to put it more bluntly, he has found the right 'direction'.
Therefore, under this premise, Yu Siqi barely spent too much energy, and found a very suspicious phenomenon directly behind the ground where Father An and the others were standing.
The color of the bottom wall of this wall is not the same as the surrounding wall, but if you put your head close to it, you can feel the cold wind coming from behind.
For these very simple reasons, Yu Siqi knelt on the edge of the wall, leaned over and pushed the wall hard, and found that this thing seemed to be blocked by something, and could only barely make a gap that could accommodate an arm.
But even so, it's a 'big discovery'. When he turned around and was about to discuss with Father Ann and the others whether to push it out completely, and go over to explore, Yu Siqi was almost startled by a surprisingly large face.
When he realized that it was just because Gong Chen was too close to him, Yu Siqi tilted his neck back slightly thirty degrees to avoid the other party's 'intimate contact' with his face.
But Gong Chen didn't notice what was wrong with Yu Siqi, but in the process of leaning back, he stretched his head over and desperately peeked into the gap.
"Can't you just let me come out first, and then you come back?" Yu Siqi finally couldn't help but speak, his current posture was very subtle, he was blocked in the corner by Gong Chen, who was sheltered up, and now he couldn't advance or retreat, and he wanted to withdraw but because the other party's body directly pressed him underneath.
It seemed that he finally realized how indecent his behavior was, and Gong Chen, who quickly shrank back, showed an apologetic face. Father Ann was happy until Gong Chen smacked his lips and said, "Have you been laughed at, Father?" ”
"That's not true, it's just that I can't help it when I think of you always being so 'eclectic', haha..."
"I said, Father, when did your personality become so 'bad'?" Gong Chen touched his aching buttocks, stood up with the help of the priest and asked.
"Well, maybe after getting to know you." Father Ann said solemnly.
