When Wu Xiugu woke up, she found herself in a strange room.

On the roof, there is a skylight inlaid with transparent glass, and the sunlight shines in from the outside, and the antique furniture in the room does not look like a bargain.

Wu Xiugu got off the bed, and the stone floor was very cold.

She looked around, and everything was so strange.

Just then, the door opened.

Wu Xiugu looked at the voice, and saw a little girl standing at the door, about five or six years old, looking at Wu Xiugu steadily, with a pair of eyes wide and round.

The girl looked at Wu Xiugu and said, "You were called by my mother to take care of me?" ”

As she spoke, the girl walked in, and Wu Xiugu saw that she was barefoot, but her steps were steady.

The whole girl is Wang Xiaoguo.

Wu Xiugu asked Wang Xiaoguo what kind of place this is, Wang Xiaoguo raised his chin and smiled: "This is my home, you will live here in the future, you have to listen to me, my mother said that if you are not well-behaved, I can punish you......"

Wang Xiaoguo laughed as he spoke.

Wu Xiugu couldn't listen to a word.

She rushed out, and outside was a wet cave, and the further she went, she could still hear the sound of running water.

Ahead was a downward trend, and Wu Xiugu was striding forward.

Wang Xiaoguo behind him laughed loudly, Wu Xiugu's body had a layer of goosebumps, the wind blew on her body, it was wet, and Wu Xiugu's hair was full of water droplets.

Her skin looked like it had just been soaked out of the water.

As she walked along, she heard the sound of the water, which seemed to be mixed with one or two of some kind of animal cry.

Her heart tingled when she heard it.

Despite this, Wu Xiugu still didn't dare to look back.

Although Wang Xiaoguo was just a child, when she looked at herself just now, the smile made her feel very uncomfortable.

Wu Xiugu wanted to leave here, and she didn't want to stay for a moment.

The further you go, the wetter the air becomes.

The sound of those flowing water became louder and louder, and Wu Xiugu gasped, she felt that she was about to collapse.

Finally, she saw a river, the river was flowing in a tumultuous way, and the light that came in from nowhere made her see the color of the river, and the turbulent water was actually black.

Caring about this, Wu Xiugu kept running along the river.

The stone is cold, but not smooth.

Under the illumination of illusory light and shadow, these stones on the shore emitted a miserable white light.

As she walked on, the water became louder, and in the middle of the river, a mist rose, and in the middle of the shadow, something seemed to flow, but she couldn't see anything clearly.

Wu Xiugu smacked her ankle.

She squatted down, rubbed the painful area, and raised her eyes, but saw a fiery red flower beside her, blooming.

The flower has a very special appearance, with teeth and claws, like a claw, and the petals are stretched out in all directions.

When she saw this flower, Wu Xiugu was stunned for a moment.

After she got up, she took a few more steps forward, and she found that beside the blackwater river, there were more flowers like that just now, and they were all blooming in the same posture.

There is a special smell in the air.

It's not like an ordinary floral fragrance, in short, the smell makes people feel an indescribable sense of depression in their hearts.

Looking around, the clusters of flowers blooming like fire, Wu Xiugu was timid.

Something suddenly occurred to her, and she reached out and tentatively plucked one, and just as the flower was out of its branches, it burst into flames.

As soon as Wu Xiugu let go, the burning flower not only did not fall to the ground, but flew into the air.

Looking at the flames flying in mid-air, Wu Xiugu's face was as earthy.

At that moment, she heard a strange sound coming from the mist in the middle of the river, as if someone was singing or crying.

Wu Xiugu couldn't hold back any longer, she turned around violently and ran back.

Stepping on the cold stone with bare feet, Wu Xiugu was extremely frightened in her heart. The song in the mist, as she ran, gradually became much smaller than before.

Wu Xiugu returned to the passage, and she ran back along the way she came.

During this period, there was a black thing, flying past Wu Xiugu's side, and made a "whoosh" sound, as if they were frightened by something, flying very fast, and some of them flew headlessly, and they also hit Wu Xiugu.

The thing was fluffy, and it had body temperature.

Wu Xiugu didn't care so much, and ran up vigorously.

Finally, she saw Wang Xiaoguo again, and the other party was standing at the door, looking at her fixedly with the same posture and expression just now, as if she knew that she would definitely come back.

Back in the house, Wu Xiugu slammed the door shut.

She sat on the stone floor panting, gasping for air.

The girl walked up to her and handed her a tissue.

Wu Xiugu took it and wiped the water on her forehead, she didn't know whether it was sweat or the dew in the cave.

In short, some of the things just now really frightened Wu Xiugu.

"My mom said you'd come back. She's right, so when you left, I wasn't worried at all, look, didn't you really come back......"

Although Wang Xiaoguo is only five or six years old, her conversation is as mature as an adult.

Wu Xiugu looked at Wang Xiaoguo with wide eyes: "Your mother, where is you?" Who is she? ”

"My mother's name is Xia Hong, she is very busy, as for what she does, I don't know, she has already left, before leaving, she said that you will cook for me, so that you can take good care of me in the future, she said that if one day she feels that the time is up, she will let you go!"

After saying this, Wang Xiaoguo sat on a stool.

Wu Xiugu collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.

From that day on, Wu Xiugu began to take care of Wang Xiaoguo's life.

The years in the mountains are easy to pass, and there are no tools to record time, and the days in the cave are even simpler and better. Wang Xiaoguo's entire entertainment is a mobile phone that can't access the Internet.

Later, how did he come out, Wang Xiaoguo told me, and I didn't ask again.

What I wonder now is, what is that river, what are those flowers, and why Wu Xiugu was scared when she saw those things.

Seeing me ask her this, Wu Xiugu's face turned white again.

She didn't seem to want to think back to those unbearable pasts, but she couldn't stand my repeated questions.

After taking a deep breath, she looked at me and said quietly: "Tang Xiaofan, do you know that the river is the River Styx, and those flowers are actually flowers growing on the other side of the underworld......
