Light is the most basic need of human beings for this world, and only in light can people feel safe and warm. While Cheng Yifan lit the flashlight, he also lit up the light of hope for the two of them. In the darkness of the cave, this faint white light was like the scorching sun at noon, making them feel warm. At this time, the outline of the cave is clearly visible under the illumination of the flashlight.

The flashlight kept shining around, and Cheng Yifan and Zhao Yawen didn't dare to breathe and observe carefully, for fear of missing a certain detail. Not just because of curiosity, but because the environment here will determine their life and death.

It is a circular cave with a diameter of about 100 meters. In the middle of the cave is a diamond-shaped pool, which looks like a heavenly eye of Erlang God has grown in the middle of the circular cave. This "eye in the sky" spans between the north and south, and the starting point is just at the southernmost and northernmost sides of the circle, while the east and west sides are still half the distance from the circle. There is a circular aperture in the middle of the eye of the sky, facing the hole where Cheng Yifan and they fell, probably because the center of the waterhole is relatively deep, the aperture is dark, like a pupil. The whole cave is like an open, lying eye on the ground, which makes people feel eerie.

Cheng Yifan and Zhao Yawen's location at this time happened to be just east of Hantan. Cheng Yifan Qingxing, just now fortunately swam to the east, if you swim to the north and south, not only the distance is long, but also you can't find a place to go ashore.

Zhao Yawen looked at this strange waterhole, and a terrifying chill arose in his heart, and the clothes on his body were all wet, and he couldn't help but shiver. I thought to myself, "If only there was a fire, it's so eerie here." ”

"Yawen, you stay here first, I'll go and see if there's any firewood?" Cheng Yifan looked at Zhao Yawen, who was soaking wet, and said.

"No, I'm going with you, I'm scared, I want to be with you." Zhao Yawen took Cheng Yifan's arm and said.

"Hmm", Cheng Yifan nodded and walked towards the periphery of the cave to the west with Zhao Yawen. Everywhere the flashlight shines is a lava stone wall, but the strange thing is that the wall is not wet, which is completely different from the karst cave in Cheng Yifan's impression.

"Yifan, look, there's a torch on the wall." Zhao Yawen pointed to a black wooden branch on the wall in front of him.

Cheng Yifan also found out just now, and before he could be sure, he heard Zhao Yawen's excited shout.

"There's an oil lamp over there...... There are also ...... here And over there...... Over there......? Zhao Yawen shouted excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent. Fire is hope for them at this time. Since there are still oil lamps, the presence of oil lamps proves that the cave has been inhabited by humans, and the presence of human habitation means that they have the possibility of going out. This joy of being in a desperate situation can be emotionally out of control for anyone.

"I just don't know if I can light it up." Although Cheng Yifan is also very excited, the recent endless accidents have made him understand a truth: "Don't be happy too early in everything, hope and despair are always alternating, and it is often just a matter of a second, so let's treat it with a normal heart." ”

Walk back to the backpack and take out the lighter, one, two, one and two. Cheng Yifan lit eight oil lamps and four torches one after another. In the cave, the lights are bright at this time, and the cave is like daylight, but everything in the cave is clearly visible, and a sense of security that has never been felt before arises spontaneously. It is no wonder that people think that fire is the greatest invention in the history of the development of human civilization, and the feeling of Cheng Yifan and the others at this time is the same as the feeling of human beings inventing fire for the first time. Excited, full of hope.

Under the light of the light, fear, restlessness, exhaustion, coldness, and fear all vanished at this moment.

Under the light of the fire, Cheng Yifan and they looked around again.

As seen before, the center of the circular cave is a diamond-shaped pool, which divides the cave into left and right sides. There are two room-like caves on the left and right sides, and the caves are wide and deep. There are two large oil lamps in each cave, and two torches on the left and right sides of the cave doorway. Each cave has a thick stone door on the outside, and the stone doors of all four caves are open at this time.

In front of the cave, the left and right sides are the same, and there is a crescent-shaped open space in the shape of a crescent moon because the diamond-shaped cold pool spans the north and south. The open spaces on both sides are paved with smooth stones.

On the left is a large banyan tree more than ten meters high. The branches and leaves of the big banyan tree grew in the direction of the hole where Cheng Yifan and the others fell, and the roots of the banyan tree hung upside down with many tendrils, and the open space was also full of thick leaves. But the strange thing is that after the branches are extended to the cold pool, they no longer grow leaves. The branches above the cold pool were all bare, without a single leaf, not even a single leaf on the surface of the pool.

Not far from the big banyan tree, in front of the southeast grotto, is a large stone tripod. The appearance of the stone tripod is smooth, and there are some animal portraits carved on the ding wall, similar to snakes, centipedes, spiders and the like, and some strange words, like tadpoles, anyway, Cheng Yifan can't understand one. Unlike a metal tripod furnace, Shi Ding can guess his age from rust marks. There is no dust or moss on the stone tripod, and Cheng Yifan can only conclude from its strange words that it is an ancient thing.

There is also a tree growing in the open space on the right side of Hantan, this tree is not high, but the branches are very strong, without leaves and flowers. Cheng Yifan deduced from the branches that this was a plum tree that was hundreds of years old.

Not far from the plum tree, on the southwest side, there is a square stone table with four sides, the surface of the stone table is carved with a Go chessboard, and a round stone bench is placed on each of the four sides under the stone table.

"It's so beautiful here, it's like a cave where the world's masters live in seclusion." Zhao Yawen looked at all this dementedly and said, as if he had forgotten that he was still in danger.

"Hahaha, let's quickly find some firewood to dry this clothes, and then slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery here." Cheng Yifan looked at Zhao Yawen, who was trembling with his shoulders tightened and indulging in the beautiful scenery of this cave, and smiled.

Maybe it was everything here that made Cheng Yifan see hope, at this time, a heart hanging in his chest was put down, and he unconsciously smiled.

Cheng Yifan approached Shi Ding, and he found that the inner wall of Shi Ding was smoky black, as if it had been burned many times. Picked out some black ash from the inner wall and put it on his nose and smelled it, the black ash emitted a faint medicinal fragrance, Cheng Yifan guessed that this should be a mouthful of Shi Ding.

After picking out some black ash and sniffing it a few times, he found that the medicinal fragrance was still mixed with the smell of kerosene. Earlier, when he was lighting the oil lamp, he noticed that there were several barrels of oil-like liquid in the cave to the northeast.

"Isn't this a medicine tripod, it's just a tripod furnace for burning fire" Cheng Yifan guessed in his heart.

"It doesn't matter if it's a medicine pod or a furnace pod, as long as it can catch fire, haha." Cheng Yifan had an idea, ran back to the cave, and it took a lot of effort to move a barrel of grease and oil, and poured one-third of it into the Ding furnace, while the rest of the oil was pulled aside by Cheng Yifan.

Then Cheng Yifan picked up a few leaves on the ground, lit the lighter, and threw them into the ding, and the stone ding ignited at one point, sending out a raging fire.

"Hehehe, it's on fire" Zhao Yawen smiled happily after making a thumbs up gesture towards Cheng Yifan.

The two of them walked towards the Ding Furnace, put down their backpacks, poured out all the contents inside, and put them next to the Ding Furnace one by one to bake.

Cheng Yifan fetched a pot of water from the pool, tore open a box of biscuits, and the two of them gathered around the Ding stove and ate happily.

After hastily eating some things, Zhao Yawen took out all the clothes, because there was no stand, Zhao Yawen could only hold them with his hands, baking them one by one. When he got the underwear, Zhao Yawen glanced at Cheng Yifan with a little blush. called: "Your clothes, I'll help you bake them, or you go and change them first, and find the exit by the way." ”

"You go change it first, I'll bake it." Cheng Yifan was observing the surroundings at this time, and suddenly heard Zhao Yawen say this, and replied conditionally.

After speaking, he reached out to take the clothes from Zhao Yawen's hand. After looking at it, Cheng Yifan said embarrassedly: "I'll change it first." Then he hurriedly took a suit of clothes and fled to one of the stones.

Zhao Yawen looked at Cheng Yifan, who fled in a hurry, and laughed "hehehe", closing the cave fairy mirror, like a pair of fairy couples, the picture is very warm.

Under the plum blossom tree, the sword shadow is wrong, and the petals are flying all over the sky.

In front of the bluestone platform, the sound of the piano is curling, and the cold pool is rippling with clear water.

Zhao Yawen Buddha seems to see a pair of fairy couples under the plum tree, in front of the bluestone platform, dancing swords and playing the piano.

Fold a plum blossom and change a trace of retrospectiveness, if you can, Zhao Yawen hopes to live this kind of fairy couple with Cheng Yifan here.

It can be, but it will starve to death here in less than three days, and the fairy couple will definitely not be able to do it, it is almost the same to be a pair of starving ghosts, and finding an exit is the only thing to do. Thinking of this, Zhao Yawen picked up a set of clothes and walked towards another grotto.
