"Don't talk nonsense, although I don't know what exactly is below, it is certainly not a beehive, let alone a prehistoric giant peak as you said." I looked at the "beehive" in the center of the cave and said, "I guess this thing must have been artificially placed here, and it's hard to say what it was used for, so I'll have to go down and have a look." ”

"Go down?" The fat man looked down and said, "It's so deep, how can you go down?" ”

"I've got a rope here." Liu Rumei said as she began to unpack her backpack.

"Then let's go down and have a look." Wen Xianbao, who has rarely spoken, clapped again.

The fat man continued to look down, frowned and said, "It's quite easy to go down, the key is how to come up later?" ”

I said, "You can go down as you want, and climb the rope, of course." ”

The fat man touched his belly with his hand and said to me: "Waste, let's not be funny, look at my brother's size, can you climb up this time?" ”

I thought about it and said, "I don't necessarily have to climb up again, maybe there is a way out below." ”

"There may not be a way out, if not, you still have to climb up." The fat man rolled his eyes at me.

“……”

At this moment, the cold smoke and flames had gradually been extinguished, and the huge cave was once again plunged into darkness. Liu Rumei had already prepared the rope, and the fat man and I were still arguing about what he couldn't go on. Wen Xianbao seemed to have made up his mind, he patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Wang Bo, you stay here, and the three of us will go down first to see if there is any way out." ”

The fat man probably didn't want to go down, and when he heard Wen Xianbao say this, he immediately agreed.

Liu Rumei was the first to slide down after preparing for the abseiling, followed by Wen Xianbao. I saw that they had all gone down, so I turned around and asked, "Fatty, you really can't go down?" ”

The fat man shook his head like a rattle, I sighed, according to what I know about the fat man, "can't climb up or something" is simply an excuse, there are really not too many things that can make him give up to find out what he thinks, either he found something, or he just fell that it was not as simple as he said it was okay. But he didn't take the initiative, and I didn't want to ask any more questions, so I could only tell him to be careful. So, I handed him the flashlight in my hand, and then whispered, "If there is any situation, communicate in time." ”

After explaining to the fat man, I slid down the rope to the bottom of the hole. Abseiling is a thing that has been done once and again, and after just sliding once, this time I have already mastered the trick, and there are no accidents.

At the bottom of the cave, Liu Rumei stood aside with a strong flashlight, obviously waiting for me to come down. And Wen Xianbao had already walked through the intricate mess of wood towards the center of the bottom of the cave.

The amount of wood piled up around the bottom of the cave is really staggering. When I looked down from a high place, I didn't feel anything, but when I came down, I stood in front of me and realized that it was a wooden crater. If you look closely at these woods, they are indeed the same as the wood found before, they are cypress wood, the roots are the thickness of the bowl mouth, and the top looks black, as if there is a layer of black oil mud.

"Let's go." Liu Rumei greeted me. I nodded, and with her I started flipping through the mess. After stepping on the wood, it felt stronger than expected, but despite this, I still didn't dare to be careless, and pulled Liu Rumei and the two of them carefully and slowly passed.

Wen Xianbao stood next to the "big beehive" in the center of the cave, and did not look back, just swept back and forth with a strong flashlight, as if he was studying something. When Liu Rumei and I approached, we were immediately stunned by the scene in front of us.

It turned out that the center of the cave was not a beehive at all, but a water tank of the same size. These tanks have small bottoms, about a meter high, and there are about hundreds of them, which are densely placed in the center of the bottom of the cave. Carefully observe the outer side of the cylinder wall, you can see that this is the material of red pottery, and there is no glaze, just look at the process is not very fine, the surface looks a little rough, and there are some small cracks in some places, which should be caused by uneven heat in the firing process.

"This is terracotta?" Liu Rumei asked with some uncertainty.

"Looks like so." I replied casually.

"What's in there?" Liu Rumei then asked.

"Inside?" I looked into the tank and looked at it for a long time, but I couldn't see what was inside. The small black and gray balls, which were not regular in size and shape, some of them looked like stones, were piled up all over the clay jars. I didn't dare to touch it with my hands, but I looked at it carefully for a while and said, "I don't know, it looks like a stone." ”

"Is it a stone?" Liu Rumei said as she took out the brush she had used to clean up the dust from her pocket and held it in her hand, apparently wanting to use the handle of the brush to stir up the things in the tank.

"Don't move!" Wen Xianbao, who has always been silent, suddenly stopped him, he stared at Liu Rumei's hand with a serious expression, as if he sensed that he was a little tough, and after thinking about it, he said: "This may be an important cultural relic, try not to disturb it." ”

"Oh." Liu Rumei answered, put the brush back in a stupid manner, and then turned his gaze to another clay pot. Because I didn't have a flashlight, I could only get together with Liu Rumei and observe the situation in the clay jar by the light of her flashlight. I looked at several clay jars one after another, and the contents inside were exactly the same, with small black and gray balls, piled up all over the clay jars.

After looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't see why, so I decided to look on the cylinder block to see if there were any patterns and inscriptions or something. So, I told Liu Rumei the idea and asked her to sweep the light inside and outside the cylinder wall.

The result still made me a little disappointed, and I looked at more than a dozen pottery jars in succession, but none of them had inscriptions. Without an inscription pattern, it is difficult to determine the dynasty, and just because it was found in the ruins of the Feathered Race, it must be something of the Feathered Race. It may be an ancient relic that existed before it, or it may be a resurrection that came to it. In short, the pattern inscriptions are the conclusive evidence that these clay jars are related to the Feather Humans, and if they can't be found, everything can only be guessed.

Liu Rumei was obviously more concerned about what was inside the pot, and her attention shifted to the inside of the pot, and the flashlight also slid over the jar from time to time with her gaze.

"What's that?" Casually sliding my gaze over the tank, I noticed a different kind of white in those black and gray.

Liu Rumei hurriedly threw the flashlight into it again, and I saw clearly what I had just seen. It was a miserable white bone, not very large, and I can't tell what it was, but it was very striking in the black and gray.

"Bones? Human bones? Liu Rumei asked.

"Not sure." I frowned at the bone, thought for a moment and said, "The bone must be a bone, but it's hard to tell what kind of bone it is." ”

Liu Rumei nodded when she heard this, tilted her head to look at Wen Xianbao in the distance, saw that he was not paying attention, and took out the brush from her pocket again. I understood what she was going to do at a glance, but I still really minded what Wen Xianbao had just stopped with his voice, what should he know, maybe the things in it really couldn't be moved. So, I quietly stretched out my hand and stopped the brush in Liu Rumei's hand.

"Unwilling." Liu Rumei put away the brush again and said lightly.

"Let's look at something else, maybe there will be bones exposed."

"That's right." Liu Rumei was not entangled, straightened up and looked at the other pottery jars, she continued: "Just now, I mainly looked at the outermost pottery jars, and I didn't pay much attention to the ones inside, I think I should take a rough look at everything I can see." ”

"Hmm." I didn't object, after all, I also wanted to find out what was inside, maybe it was because Wen Xianbao didn't let me move, which made me more curious. People are often like this, the more others prevent you from doing something, the more you want to do it, and you can't say why, maybe it's curiosity or rebellion.

Next, Liu Rumei and I focused our attention on the jar, because the number of red pottery jars in the center of the entire cave bottom was too large, and we couldn't see too far, about four or five circles inside, and then we basically couldn't see what was inside. After searching for a long time, it turned out that there were no bones in those small black and gray balls. Liu Rumei was obviously very patient, and still watched carefully one by one. And I'm gradually losing patience, I'm by no means an impatient person, and I can't say why at the moment, maybe I still care about what Wen Xianbao just stopped by his voice.

Thinking of this, I looked up and suddenly found that there was no shadow of Wen Xianbao around. I was still a little unsure, and after standing up straight, I looked around again, and it was very dark, except for Liu Rumei and I had a flashlight, the rest was dark, and I couldn't see any light at all. Could it be that Wen Xianbao turned off the flashlight? But why did he turn off the flashlight, was there something wrong, thinking of this, I was a little anxious, and shouted around: "Team Wen...... Wen Team ......"

"What's wrong?" Liu Rumei didn't understand what was going on, and when she saw that I suddenly called Wen Xianbao, she asked next to her, "Qin Fen, what are you calling Wen to do." ”

"This ......," I pointed around and said, "Didn't you notice that Team Wen was missing?" ”

"Gone?" Liu Rumei looked at me suspiciously, and then looked behind me in confusion. Seeing her puzzled eyes, I suddenly felt bad in my heart, could it be that Wen Xianbao was behind me, but I had obviously looked around just now, and I didn't find it, could it be that he turned off the flashlight before, and just heard my shout He turned on the bright flashlight again. Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned around and looked, and found that it was still dark, and there was no shadow of Wen Xianbao at all, and the inexplicable shock in my heart slowly faded, and I was about to talk to Liu Rumei, but her words made my heart beat again.

"He's always been over there!" Liu Rumei stared at the darkness in front of her suspiciously, and said seriously.

I followed her gaze, and it was pitch black and empty as far as the eye could see.
