Chapter 19: The Shadow of the Cave
In that moment, all I experienced was the most fearful thing in the depths of my soul.
I thought that several hours had passed, but Tang Muzhou said that I only had a minute or two to go crazy. I sat on the ground panting, and it was still raining heavily outside the cave.
Tang Muzhou looked at me and asked seriously:
"Tang Xiaofan, think clearly, did you really hear any sound just now?"
He asked me this, and I didn't know how to answer.
I heard the sound of the cave bat, but Tang Muzhou didn't hear it. And at that moment, my mind was very confused, and I experienced several chaotic scenes.
If it weren't for Tang Muzhou waking me up in time, I guess I would still be immersed in it.
What is certain is that I was hallucinating.
As for what the reason is, because of all this, Tang Muzhou and I don't know.
Tang Muzhou and I sat down again, and now it was dark outside, and from time to time there was thunder, as if the surrounding cumulonimbus clouds had piled up here.
Fortunately, the terrain is down, otherwise the rain will rush in, and it is likely that the whole cave will be flooded.
Listening to the rumbling thunderstorm outside, I was a little scared.
I asked Tang Muzhou: "This mountain is not too stable, will it collapse with such heavy rain?" ”
Tang Muzhou stared outside and did not answer my words.
After a while, he said, "The girl who got off the bus with us just now, she should be on the mountain too, right?" She went up earlier than us, and now she may have arrived at the Dongshan Clubhouse. ”
I asked again, "What is she doing at the Dongshan Club?" ”
Dongshan Club, the people who go there to consume are some not simple characters.
The girl looked like an ordinary girl, and she came by minibus, so she shouldn't be a member, and if she went there, she shouldn't be allowed to enter.
However, if she didn't go to the Dongshan Club, then she was halfway through, even if she got off the car to avoid the tattooed man, then she should continue to wait for the next car.
How did you go up the hill.
I don't quite figure this out.
I sat in the cave with Tang Muzhou for a while, but the rain outside was still not light. And at this moment, I heard the bat call again.
Only this time, Tang Muzhou also heard it.
We looked back at the same time, looking deeper into the cavern.
Tang Muzhou asked me, "Tang Xiaofan, did you hear that?" ”
I nodded: "You heard it too, which means it's not an auditory hallucination, right?" ”
Tang Muzhou stood up, and he looked into the cave again: "I'll go in and take a look, you're here alone, are you okay?" ”
I looked around and quickly shook my head: "No, this time, I'm going to go in with you!" ”
I'm not afraid of being left outside alone, what I'm afraid of is what if I go crazy again, Tang Muzhou is not there, and I am alone in that environment and can't escape.
Seeing that I insisted on going in too, Tang Muzhou nodded.
"Tang Xiaofan, you have been following me, if there is really a cave bat inside, let's go back to back, it shouldn't attack us easily."
After saying goodbye, we walked inside together.
When I stepped into it, I felt the air was moist.
It's like water soaking up on the skin, and it's completely different from the outside.
Tom in front of me stopped, turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and he looked back at me: "Tang Xiaofan, you are good, don't lose it." ”
I nodded and followed him.
This cave looks straight from the outside, and when you walk inside, you find that the inside is crooked.
The paths, with no end in sight, are intricately intertwined, and I feel a little dizzy to see. Every time he reached a fork in the road, Tang Muzhou settled down to take a look.
The ground was a little slippery, there was moss everywhere, and the fishy sweetness of the grass was mixed in the humid air, which was an indescribable feeling.
The sound of the cave bat, still going on.
It's just that we can't tell which direction it's coming from.
Looking in all directions, I always feel that every place is it, but every place is wrong.
Tang Muzhou pricked up his ears and carefully discerned.
He led me all the way, leaving a mark at every intersection he walked.
Looking back at the way I came, I couldn't tell which fork in the road I had just come from. I was afraid that I would lose it, so I pulled Tang Muzhou's clothes forward, and the sound of cave bats echoed around me, but I couldn't see it.
At this moment, Tang Muzhou, who had been walking in front of me, suddenly stopped.
He looked back at me: "Tang Xiaofan, did you see a figure just now?" ”
"Figures?"
Tang Muzhou nodded, and under the light of the mobile phone flashlight, his expression was slightly frightened.
I said I didn't see anything, Tang Muzhou was stunned for a moment, then pointed to a place in front of me and said, "Tang Xiaofan, just now I obviously saw a person standing there, the light was very dim, I couldn't see what it looked like."
At first I thought I was wrong, but as I walked a little further, the man waved at me. ”
Hearing him say that, I got nervous too.
In such a cave, if it weren't for the rain, no one would come in to hide from the rain.
Even if it's to hide from the rain, at most, just stay in the cave outside like we do, normally, there is no need to run into such a deep cave.
"Where is the man?"
Tang Muzhou shook his head: "Now I can't see that person either, I flashed and ran away." ”
I thought for a moment: "Could it be, this is a misguided, lost person?" ”
My guess is not unreasonable.
It's a lot of crutches in this cave, and it's hard to walk.
What if that man came in before us, and was afraid that we were bad people, so he went to the depths of this cave, and now he doesn't know how to get out, and he sees us coming in and is afraid, so he runs away?
Regarding my assertion, Tang Muzhou has a negative attitude:
"How is it possible, when he saw me, he was waving to me, although he couldn't see the overall appearance clearly, but judging from his posture and movements, he was definitely not avoiding us!"
In my heart, a faint fear rose: "It's not hiding from us, it's ......"
"That person should be trying to lead us somewhere."
The air in the cave is getting wetter and wetter.
At the same time, a wave of heat came from the inside out, and I felt like I had taken a hot bath, and every hair on my body opened up.
"So what do we do now?"
Tang Muzhou thought about it, he gritted his teeth: "Follow over and see, see where this person is going to take us......"
