Chapter 7: Finding the Mouth
In order not to attract the attention of the tourists, we did not quietly say goodbye to the tour guide until we had lunch with the group.
In the evening, Liang Zi and I began to climb this 1,700-meter-high Taihang Mountain, the road at the beginning was still a tourist route, and we could occasionally meet a few tourists, but with the fall of night, we never saw anyone along the way.
Of course, it may also be the reason why I no longer have time to care about whether there are other tourists, because I am already out of breath at this time, and I can only follow the beam while carefully watching the steps under my feet.
And Liang Zi, who led the way in front, was not much better, and the back of his thin body with a big backpack always made me laugh in the back.
In this way, within a few hours, we finally moved to the foot of the Jade Maiden Peak.
I looked up and was stupid, the Jade Girl Peak is a small pillar-like mountain, like a stone statue, because the gap with my imagination is simply too big, so I angrily scolded: "This TM is also called the peak?" Liangzi, don't tell me it's on the top of this mountain. ”
Liang Zi said to me with a serious expression: "First, this is indeed a peak, and it is the peak of the Jade Girl Peak. Then he smiled and walked up to me and whispered, "Second, the thing is not at the top of the mountain, but at the bottom of the mountain." ”
After hearing this, I couldn't help but look back at this mountain, thinking of various ways to enter the interior of the mountain.
Suddenly, I felt in a trance that the Jade Maiden Peak was glaring at us like a monster in the night.
Liang Zi patted me on the shoulder, pulled me back from the illusion, and then said to me, "It's almost time, let's go." After speaking, he walked in the opposite direction of the Jade Maiden Peak.
"Is this ...... direction?" I asked in wonder, pointing to the mountain peak, and then to the direction in which Liang Zi was walking.
Liang Zi continued to walk in that direction, and did not look back at me, but just turned his back to me and made a gesture to follow.
"Boy, there's a kind!" I cursed in a depressed whisper, so I had to follow.
About 1 hour later, we came to a lake, Liang Zi said to sit down and rest, and then he lit a cigarette himself, turned his head to look at the lake in a daze.
Since I had been walking for hours, it was time to rest, and I didn't care if the floor was clean or not, so I sat down with my backpack.
"Zhao An, when I saw this lake, I suddenly felt like when we were swimming when we were children, do you remember?" Liang Zi suddenly said a lyrical sentence, then looked back at me, probably only to realize the reason why he forgot to give me a cigarette, so he handed me the half of the cigarette he smoked.
I took a cigarette and took two puffs, then looked at the night sky and said, "Of course I remember, when I was a kid I was afraid of water, and you always pressed me in the water." ”
Liang Zi said with a smile: "If you want to learn to swim, you must not be afraid of water, and if you want to be afraid of water, you must drink water first, by the way, how is your swimming skills now?" ”
I laughed and scolded: "What kind of bullshit swimming theory are you, but when it comes to my swimming skills now, it's not for you, it's a hundred miles of water floating!" Don't believe it, if you don't succeed, I'll let my brother give you a swim in this lake for you to see. ”
Liang Zi lowered his head and laughed dryly, then turned his head to look at the lake and said: "This lake is an artificial lake, when it was originally built, it was because this piece was a depression, but because the depth was not enough, it was dug up into the ground, who knew that this digging dug out a hole, at that time the people who repaired the lake thought that they had dug the "sky hole", so they stopped digging down, and then poured water into the depression, and the small hole actually ate a lot of water, which shows how big the internal space of the so-called sky cave is. ”
When I heard Liang Zi tell such a strange story, I was fascinated for a while, and I couldn't help asking, "Is it really a heavenly cave?" ”
Liang Zi deliberately suppressed his voice and said, "How can there be a heavenly cave leading to hell in the world?" That's our gateway to the base! ”
After speaking, he took out two scuba and diving goggles from his backpack, which were slightly smaller than thermoses, and then said to me with a smile: "Hey, Comrade Baili Water Floating, how about letting my brother see your underwater floating skills this time?" ”
I listened to what he took out and those unexpected words, and for a moment I was dumbfounded.
The half of the cigarette in his mouth also fell to the ground......
