Chapter 20: The Straight Path

I returned to Dongshan with Tang Muzhou to look for cave bats.

"Autumn Moon Eclipse List" said that only the toxins on the teeth of cave bats can save Hu Dan.

Hu Dan's life and death had nothing to do with me.

Moreover, everything he is suffering now is self-inflicted. But Tang Muzhou said, if I want to get Meimei back, I can only rely on Hu Dan, if his problem is solved, he will definitely help us.

So, despite the poisonous cave bats, Tang Muzhou and I got on the minibus to Dongshan.

We got off the bus, and a girl who was in the same car with us got off.

After saying some inexplicable words, the girl went up the mountain before us.

Immediately after that, the sky suddenly began to rain heavily.

I went into a cave with Tang Muzhou to take shelter from the rain, but I didn't know why, and suddenly I had hallucinations. With the help of Tang Muzhou, I finally came to my senses, but I didn't dare to stay alone in the cave anymore.

So, I went into the cave with Tang Muzhou.

Walking along the winding path, the depths of the cave were like a labyrinth, and Tang Muzhou suddenly turned around and told me that he had found a figure.

Moreover, the figure seems to be still showing us the way.

Tang Muzhou took a deep breath, and he looked back at me: "Tang Xiaofan, you must follow me closely, if you lose it in this place, it is estimated that according to your IQ, you will not be able to get out for the rest of your life." ”

If Tang Muzhou belittled me like this, I would be angry.

But now, the situation is special.

Although his words were sarcastic, I still felt that there was some truth in them.

I've been a road idiot since I was a kid, and I don't know how to go after a few turns.

If I really lost it, I guess I'll be really trapped in it for the rest of my life.

So, I continued to tug at the corner of Tang Muzhou's clothes and followed him forward little by little. Maybe it's because the more I go inside, the more humid it gets, and the feeling that the soles of my shoes are in contact with the ground is getting more and more slippery.

I was afraid of falling, so I walked cautiously.

Tang Muzhou's speed was still the same as just now, and it seemed that the slippery ground had no effect on him at all.

I told him to slow down, but he ignored me as if he hadn't heard anything. I called him again, but he still didn't look back.

But he walked faster and faster, and finally, I stumbled on the soles of my feet and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the hand that was tugging at his clothes also loosened.

I fell to the ground, my ankle was hit by a hard stone, it hurt, I screamed, and when I raised my eyes, I was stunned.

Because, Tang Muzhou, who was still in front just now, is gone.

Then the light of the mobile phone, I looked privately, and in the cave with twists and turns, there were bends everywhere, but I didn't see Tang Muzhou.

I called him a few times, and a response came, but there was no answer.

The pain in my ankle continued, and I looked around me, and in the dark cavern, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes, watching me fixedly, closely observing my every move.

An inexplicable fear came at me from all directions.

I didn't care about the pain in my feet, so I stood up with the stone on the side.

There were forks everywhere, I didn't dare to move, screaming Tang Muzhou, and he didn't respond to me.

At this moment, not far in front of me, a figure flickered. I was stunned for a moment, and at the same time a chill rose from my footsteps, and I shouted at the figure:

"Who are you?"

The man stood in the dark, and I could faintly see the silhouette, he was not tall, and his body was not very strong.

I continued to ask the man:

"Tang Muzhou, is that you? Don't scare me, you speak! ”

Seeing that man, he still didn't respond to anything, my heart became more and more panicked.

We didn't speak, but the man didn't understand, we just looked at each other, the space was not too bright and not too big, the air was getting more and more humid, and between me and the man, it was like a pool of water.

This silence, this gaze in the shadows, to me, more than any scene of fear, makes me panic.

Finally, I couldn't help it anymore and walked towards the man step by step.

Seeing that I moved, the man seemed a little proud.

As soon as he turned around, he ran into a fork in the road.

I just paused slightly, and then followed.

This passage is very special, the whole is a straight line, without any detours and forks. Later, if I go back, I just have to go in the opposite direction.

That's good, I shouldn't get lost.

As I kept going, I felt that something was getting more and more wrong.

Although the slope is not large, I feel that the road is going down, and as I walk, I actually heard the sound of rushing water, and the slippery feeling on the soles of my feet is stronger than just now.

Standing still, I don't go any further.

I strongly suspect that there is a ditch ahead, and listening to the sound, the water is fast.

If I go any further, there's a good chance I'll be swept away by it.

So, I turned around and walked in the direction I had been coming.

I could no longer hear the sound of the bats in the path, but the water behind me was getting louder and louder, as if they were already tumbling and forming huge waves behind me in a kind of sea-flowing attitude.

The ground was still slippery, and I picked up my pace.

That's when I stopped.

Because in front of me, in the direction I came, there was a door.

This door, very familiar.

Its surface was covered with moss, and it was slippery to the touch, and with a gentle pull of his hand, the door opened.

The scene inside, I am very familiar.

The classic bed, the wardrobe, the rouge box on the dresser, the white jade peace buckle and heart-shaped pendant on it, have been taken away by me.

When the wooden door was closed, all sounds outside could not be heard.

The feeling of wetness before is all gone.

I touched the wooden furniture, and it was very well preserved, and there was no trace of moisture at all.

In this environment, there is only one possibility that the wood can be preserved in this way, and it is not ordinary wood. Leaning against the closet door, I took a deep breath.

Sure enough, a faint fragrance came to my nose.

As I expected, these woods are the best red sorrel woods.

It's expensive and it's hard to find anymore these days.

It's exactly the same as the ones used in the Dongshan Club.

I don't know how I ended up in this place again, there is only one explanation, that is, the cave where I took shelter from the rain with Tang Muzhou, and the cave where I found Dendrobium before.

I quickly looked up, and sure enough, I saw the skylight.

I made a shelf out of a few chairs and stood up.

When the skylight was opened, the rain outside had stopped, and there was an enticing sweetness in the air.

Taking a deep breath, I heard someone call me.

Looking back, it was Tang Muzhou......
