"I didn't expect that the river at the end of the river really became a road." Wen Mu looked at the road that at first could only be walked sideways by one person, but now it was almost connected to the opposite road. Eventually, the river disappeared completely.
Compared to the dampness when I first walked into the cave, the further I walked inside, the drier I felt.
"Be careful when you go, the river is dry and there is a muddy field at the end."
"Xiao Yuan, do you feel like it's getting hotter and hotter?" Compared to the coldness of walking by the river just now, the long-sleeved sweatshirt at this moment is close to the skin, and the clothes that were originally used to keep warm seem to have become a burden at the moment, wet and hot, and uncomfortable.
"Indeed." And Xia Yuan on the side had already taken off his long-sleeved jacket and held it in his hand.
The housekeeper stopped, shone a flashlight on the mud that looked like it was already a little clumpy, and said to the two people behind him: "Miss, young master, let's go over here, compared to the back, this side is slightly easier to walk, and the temperature should be higher if you go inside." The silt here is still a little loose, and if you don't pay attention, you may sink in. ”
It's just that the surface is solidified with a layer of silt, and the feeling of stepping on it is still a little soft and fluttering, and even floating up and down, as if there is no way to maintain a good balance, it will fall out of a "dog gnawing mud".
And the butler seems to have walked many times, and has walked very skillfully, just looking at his upper body, it is completely like walking on flat ground. Just a few steps, and you are already standing on the opposite bank. And Xia Yuan and Wen Mu, who were following him, were different.
With each step, it took a long time for the two of them to adjust their posture and try to keep their balance.
"It's too hard to walk." Xia Yuan took a breath, jumped hard, and finally stepped on the ground again, and then stretched out his hand and pulled Wen Mu up who was following him.
The temperature in the cave was still rising, and the nerves were highly concentrated for a period of time, Xia Yuan was already sweating profusely.
"Let's hurry up and go to the place he said with Steward Qin, this place is really a little hot." Wen Mo tugged at his collar as he walked, trying to keep his clothes from being so tight against him.
The butler, who had been walking in front, had never removed his hand from the stone wall since he came to this side of the dark river, and the light of the flashlight shone on the wall from time to time, as if he was looking for something.
Wen Mu asked with some confusion, "Steward Qin, what are you doing here?" ”
"I'm looking for the location of the secret door, the temperature here is already a little close, the door is very hidden, if you don't look carefully, you can't find its location at all." The closer he got to the place just now, the more carefully the butler groped for fear that he would accidentally miss the almost imperceptible crack in the stone, "Ah, I found it." ”
The butler finally felt a touch between the uneven stone walls that was different from the surroundings.
"Is this it?" Wen Mu leaned closer to the place where the butler's hand was, it was just an ordinary stone, "This doesn't look like a place with a door." ”
"Miss, young master, you stand back a little." The housekeeper motioned Xia Yuan with his eyes to quickly protect Wen Mu, and the moment he met his gaze, Xia Yuan realized, stretched out his hand and pulled Wen Mu into his arms, standing behind the butler.
Steward Qin didn't know where to press it, and the slight tremor on the ground was accompanied by a rumbling sound, which made Xia Yuan couldn't help but take a step back, and a one-person high stone door slowly opened in front of the butler, and an empty compartment appeared in front of everyone, and the night pearl on the wall illuminated the entire room. Seeing this, the housekeeper put away the flashlight, put it back in the big bag, and walked in first.
"Miss, young master, come in too." The housekeeper put the big bag on the ground, took out a few clothes and towels from it, and handed them to Wen Mu and Xia Yuan, "Hurry up and change it." ”
After saying that, he sat on a stone bed, facing the wall, and did not look at the two of them.
"Now you can always tell me where you went when you were in Chujia Village, right? How could we not have found you, and why are you here? Xia Yuan threw aside the wet clothes, dried the water on his body with a towel, and put on a dress that he had not seen before, but the size was unexpectedly appropriate, and the tag of the clothes was still hanging behind the collar, thinking that it should be the new clothes that Wen Mu had bought for himself recently.
"I remember that I followed you into the village with my luggage, but after I entered the village, I only walked a few steps, and I felt a tingling pain in the back of my head, which made me lose consciousness in an instant, and fell asleep, and then I didn't know anything, and when I woke up, I was lying on this stone bed, and then I walked around here, and I found this stone gate, and this cave outside the stone gate."
"So Steward Qin, you were intentionally brought to this place?" Wen Mo twisted the sweatshirt, and he was able to squeeze out a lot of water.
The butler nodded and said, "I just came out of the stone gate when I heard your voice and the strange fish that looked very ugly. ”
"That spear, where did Steward Qin come from, I see that this place is empty, and it doesn't look like there will be a place where there will be a spear to pick up." Wen Mo looked around at this small place, there was nothing but this stone bed.
"This place, it's just a small cubicle, if you can go further inside, you will see a huge stone door with a mural painting, outside the stone gate stood two pairs of armor, the spear is in the hand of the armor, there are many other roads outside the door, I think, there should be many entrances to this stone door."
"There's a stone gate in there?" Wen Mu pulled Xia Yuan to sit down on the stone bed and asked curiously.
"Yes, the painting on that door is very similar to the civilization of the Xia Dynasty at that time, maybe behind that door, is the place we are looking for."
"So what are you waiting for? Let's hurry up! Xia Yuan stood up and said excitedly to the two.
"What are you anxious about?" Wen Mu glanced at Xia Yuan, why was he so anxious, he didn't know how to settle down for a while.
"Miss, I think the young master is right, let's rest for a while and go there quickly, maybe this can help us complete the trial sooner, and leave this place sooner."
After a while, the butler got up from the stone bed and picked up the big bag on the ground again, "Young Master, can you also get up and help me?" The entrance is under the stone bed where you are sitting. ”
