Chapter 5: The Everlasting Light
This place is located in the middle of nowhere, so the business of this farmhouse is relatively deserted.
Today, in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, so many people came at once, and the boss was a little confused for a while.
The boss was a middle-aged fat man with a bald head, and his face was quite honest, and he warmly welcomed us to sit down at the stone table set up in the courtyard.
In remote villages, small businesses can't afford to hire waiters, so generally this kind of small shop is a husband and wife stall.
The boss played the role of the chef and was responsible for everything in the back kitchen, and the proprietress took care of all the sundries such as cashier, tea and water.
I asked Wang Yue to order half a dish, and he took the menu, not polite at all, ordering a special grilled fish in the store, ordering a spicy fried chicken, and ordering two vegetarian dishes.
Beer is soaked in well water, and you can drink it at any time and take it at any time.
After a while, the grilled fish came first, and I didn't have much research on fish, so basically every time I ate fish, the fish knew me, but I didn't know the fish.
The size of this grilled fish is very large, the surface of the fish body, grilled into a charred yellow, with chopsticks to open the brown fish, the tender white fish inside is revealed, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, dipped in a special sauce to eat, the taste is quite good!
Everyone sat around the stone table, like a wind and clouds, and ate cleanly in less than half an hour.
Xue Ya asked her subordinates to set up a few large tents by the river, and everyone was full of food and drink, and plunged into the tent, and after a while, there was a snoring sound in the tent.
The river was turbulent, the sound of running water was rattling, I lay in the tent, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so I simply walked out of the tent, sat on a big rock by the river, and looked up at the starry sky.
There is the nourishment of the river, the flowers and trees by the river, growing savagely, unusually lush, a crescent moon, like a sickle, hanging in the sky.
When night fell, a layer of mist rose up on the river, and in the hazy night, the flowers and trees by the river were black and pressed, and they were strangely shaped, as if they were beasts with hideous faces.
The river meanders like a giant snake, and the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky are reflected in the position of Shekou, forming a strange vision of "snake swallowing the Beidou"!
According to the Feng Shui theory: the snake swallows the Beidou, the evil spirit is soaring, and if it does not suffer a catastrophe, it will suffer a catastrophe!
"Jiang Yuan, what are you looking at?" Just as I was thinking about the scene in front of me, Xueya's voice came from behind me.
I turned around when I heard the sound, only to see Xue Ya standing behind me for some time, she was wearing a pale green windbreaker jacket on her upper body, a pair of skinny jeans on her lower body, a pair of long hiking boots on her feet, and her black hair like satin naturally fell down.
As the saying goes, when you look at a beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more energetic you are! Under the reflection of the hazy moonlight, Xue Ya's whole person, like the fairy Chang'e who fell from the Moon Palace, is extraordinary, and her temperament is extraordinary.
"Let's go down this time, there will be more luck and less luck!" I looked at Xue Ya, who sat down next to me, and said with a heavy face.
Compared with my solemnity, Xue Ya looked relaxed: "Since I was a child, I have encountered countless dangers, but every time I have met with evil, Jiang Yuan, believe me, we will be fine!" ”
"Huhu...... Woowoo...... Roar roar roar ......" Xue Ya's words did not fall, only a strange sound was heard, coming from Jiang Xin!
I raised the bright flashlight and subconsciously shone it into the heart of the river, only to see that on the originally calm river, the water suddenly surged, and from a distance, it seemed to be boiling!
Gradually, the turbulent current, in the center of the river, suddenly formed a huge whirlpool.
The night was dim, the moonlight was hazy, my position was too far away from the heart of the river, the beam of the strong flashlight, after irradiating the heart of the river, became dim and divergent, I used the light of the strong flashlight, in a trance as if I saw a huge blood-red python, wrapped and rolling in the heart of the river......"
Just as Xue Ya and I were looking at the blood-red python that was rolling in the heart of the river, and we were at a loss, a huge wave suddenly set off on the river.
The huge waves, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, swept me and Xueya into the river in an instant.
The river water was very cold at night, and the icy river water wrapped my whole body, so that I couldn't help but shiver several times in a row.
I learned to swim when I was about six years old, and I thought I was pretty good at the water, and I was in the water, treading hard with my feet, and then waving my arms hard, but to my surprise, a strong suction force from under the water forced me to sink to the bottom of the river.
This powerful suction force is getting bigger and bigger, no matter how much I struggle, I can't get rid of it, and my body begins to sink rapidly to the bottom of the river.
In the panic, I felt a hand grab my arm, and in a hurry, my mouth opened, and the muddy river water instantly poured into my mouth.
I choked on a few mouthfuls of river water in my throat, which instantly choked me to death, and my whole body no longer struggled, like a weed soaking in the river water, drifting with the current.
I don't know how long it was, but when I woke up again, I found myself lying in a cave.
The environment in front of you is said to be a stone cave, but in fact, it should be a huge karst cave to be more accurate.
The stone wall not far away is full of large and small natural holes, and I was shocked that there are lanterns in these natural holes.
The main reason is that the lamp oil contained in the lamp is made of human fat, so the lamp in the ancient tomb is also called the human oil lamp.
The light emitted by the burning of human oil is very unique, neither yellow nor white, but pale green.
In the process of making human oil lamps and refining human oil, the ancients would mix rosemary and other materials into the human oil according to different needs, so the unique smell produced after the human oil was burned could often make people hallucinate, or fall into a coma, or even die.
What the hell is this place? How can there be so many permanent lights? Could it be that there is an ancient tomb here? I tried to calm my mind, and then in my mind, I kept recalling, and I clearly remember that I was swept into the river by the huge waves set off by the river, and then the whole person kept sinking to the bottom of the river......
The scenes that happened before were constantly playing in my mind, like a movie, and the memory was frozen in the moment when I fell into a coma!
Just as my eyes were staring at the human oil lamps, and I couldn't help but fall into contemplation, a cold breeze came from behind me, and I clearly felt that something fell on my shoulder......
