At the foot of a mountain in the Himalayas, halfway up the mountain, there is a cave that is covered in snow and ice all year round, and there is a magical place inside.

A long, long time ago, it was still below sea level, and a burrowing crab was digging slowly in the soil, and soon a warm ocean current was coming, and it came here in advance to dig its nest in advance. As long as you have a home, the food that comes along the warm current of the ocean will continue to fly towards you, and when the time comes, you just need to stand at the door, clamp the tongs, and the food will be delicious. However, the crab is not as good as the sky, and it was only dug into it for less than half a meter, as if something was missing, and it was a small space inside, but it was empty, and the burrowing crab was directly washed into it by the current.

The space inside is not wide, but it is so long that the burrowing crab doesn't know how many laps it rolls, ten laps? A hundred laps? Anyway, after stopping, the burrowing crab saw that the whole world was a twinkling moving star.

The burrowing crab rolled over from the ground and began to look around. The cave was so dark that nothing could be seen. But it's hard to get a burrowing crab. Because they need to stay underground all year round, burrowing crabs have evolved a natural light that fluoresces a little in front of their two front legs. Although this fluorescence is not very bright, it is still possible to illuminate the front ten centimeters.

Digging crabs are circling around in the hole. After a few hours, I made a rough map of the situation in the cave in my mind.

The cave was strange, it was almost the same width everywhere, like a water pipe. The burrowing crab also doesn't know which way to go to get out, but there are only two options before and after. The burrowing crab spun around in place and decided to let fate choose. It finds a stone and chooses the opposite of what the sharper end is pointing at. The burrowing crab turned the stone around and waited for the stone to stop.

For the first time, the stone pointed at the cave wall and did not point in either direction. The burrowing crab has to start over.

The second time, the stone pointed to the cave wall on the other side. The third, fourth, and even fifth times pointed to the cave wall. The burrowing crab found that something was wrong, and later found out that it was the wrong place to choose, there was a not very deep ditch in this place, and the direction of the ditch pointed to the cave wall, so it didn't let the stone point in the right direction several times.

The burrowing crab was scared half to death at first, thinking that it had encountered a ghost, and only breathed a sigh of relief after knowing the reason. Ignorance of the natural world is at the root of superstition.

This time, the burrowing crab found a flat place to eliminate external interference.

The sixth turn of the stone begins.

Grunt, the stone slowly stopped, and just as it was about to stop pointing at the cave wall, a faint stream of water suddenly rushed over, directly changing the direction of the stone, so that the stone stopped in a direction that was going forward.

When the burrowing crab saw it, it couldn't help but be scared. Although the stone pointed the way, it did not dare to move, as if it sensed that someone was manipulating it. The stone had already stopped and pointed at the cave wall, but at this time, the water actually moved. Is it a coincidence or a necessity? An invisible force teased the fragile cranial nerves of the digging crab, making it tremble and not dare to act rashly.

After waiting for a long time, nothing happened, and the current never appeared again. The burrowing crab decided that it would rather be believed than not, so he decided to follow the direction pointed by the stone.

The luck of the digging crab is good, it managed to come out, but for someone hundreds of millions of years later, it is more unlucky.

Lao Jin is just over 50 this year, and he is in great health and likes to climb mountains, especially the Himalayas. He felt that the Himalayas were very gentle with him, there was an indescribable intimacy, a sense of familiarity, and even a smell that made him feel good, and he did not know whether this smell was the smell of snow or the wind.

On this day, Lao Jin climbed the snow-capped mountain with several tourists. A group of more than a dozen people set off, from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain, there were no accidents. In the past, either someone shouted that it was cold and wanted to go down the mountain, or someone was uncomfortable and stopped climbing. Now people's will is much firmer, some small winds and colds, endure it and pass, after all, there is still a strong wind and cold waiting for them behind, if you can't even bear this little hardship, go home as soon as possible.

After climbing more than a thousand meters, you will come across the first camp. It's populated all year round, so when a dozen or so people walk into the camp, they can live in warm tents, drink hot water, and eat warm jerky.

After resting for more than an hour, more than a dozen people reluctantly left the camp, four or five kilometers away from their destination, this was just the beginning, and they couldn't stop to enjoy it.

Not far from the top, there is a hidden cave, like a big eye staring at the crowd climbing up the mountain.

In order to climb the steep mountain wall, more than a dozen people climbed the mountain in a crooked and twisted way. Under the leadership of Lao Jin, everyone climbed more than 2,000 meters, and the physical consumption was huge, so they decided to stop and rest overnight, and wait for dawn tomorrow before setting off.

When night came, someone suggested going out to see the stars.

Suddenly, someone shouted, saying that they had seen a bright light on a mountain not far away. When people looked in the direction the man was pointing, they saw nothing. Some people laughed at him if he was dazzled, some people asked him if he saw the stars because of the lack of oxygen on the plateau, and some people couldn't stop laughing.

At this time, some people exclaimed, saying that they had seen the light, and everyone looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a light! Not one, but three!

On the mountain in the distance, in the invisible darkness, there are three bright spots moving up the invisible hillside, not very fast, but also faster than a person can climb a mountain. These three bright spots climbed up for a while, and then disappeared one after another.

So, some people proposed to go over and have a look, but some people immediately refused, on the grounds that it was already dark and in the snowy mountains, it was easy to lose their way, and they could fall into the abyss with a stumble, which was life-threatening.

When people were arguing, Lao Jin stood up and raised his hand to stop them from arguing, and said something to calm them down: If you quarrel again, I'll leave!

As the only guide in the team and the only person who has reached the summit of Mount Everest, Lao Jin's words still have some credibility.

People returned to their tents, leaving Lao Jin standing alone. Lao Jin looked into the distance, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

It was six years ago, Lao Jin took his son to climb the mountain, but they were very well prepared, but they encountered an avalanche, and the son was buried deep under the snow, and he could only hear his son's cry for help, but he could not see his son. Just when he was desperate, a bright spot, no, two bright spots to be exact, walked towards him. Lao Jin shone a flashlight with a flashlight, and immediately frightened him, and the flashlight fell to the ground and went out. It was a huge crab, more than two meters tall, with a bright light bulb on each of its thick front legs, and huge pincers dangling in the air.

This big crab is a very old species, the burrowing crab evolved, in order to adapt to the snow climate, it grew like this, and it is much larger than before. This size can no longer be described in terms of only one, but must be described in one head.

The burrowing crab glanced at Lao Jin, who was sitting motionless on the ground, and then crawled down the crack, Lao Jin quickly crawled over and looked below, and his son was trapped below.

After a while, the burrowing crab used its huge pincers to pick up a large ice cube, and the lower half of his son's body was stuck in the ice. The burrowing crab put the ice cube on the ground, looked at Lao Jin, and left. Old Jin didn't go after the ground crab, his son's life and death were uncertain, and it was not time to take care of some mysterious creatures.

Lao Jin ran over to look at his son, his son was already unconscious, I don't know if it was frozen or he was stunned when he saw the big crab, it doesn't matter, what matters is how to rescue his son from the ice.

Lao Jin's first thought was to make a fire, but there was no combustible material at hand, and it was unrealistic to burn his clothes, but this ice cube was too big for Lao Jin to push, and after stopping for a while, the ice cube seemed to have frozen with the ground. Lao Jin thought about it and prepared to use his warm body to melt the ice. So, Lao Jin unbuttoned his clothes and hugged the ice.

After a while, the ice showed signs of melting. But after a while, the water from the ice cube melted and solidified again, sticking to Lao Jin's clothes. In this way, Lao Jin melted the ice cubes while the ice cubes froze the old gold, as if the ice cubes were alive, devouring the old gold little by little. After a long time, Lao Jin was finally able to hold his son, and quickly held his son's hand, very cold,

Old Kim shouted his son's name loudly. But my son couldn't wake up. Lao Jin touched his son's pulse and found that it was gone. He couldn't believe that after working hard for so long, he still got the news of his son's death. Lao Jin was unwilling, and touched his son's neck again, which was not only cold, but also very hard. The son's whole body was frozen, and Lao Jin was almost the same. He couldn't feel his legs anymore, and no matter how hard he tried, the ice cube still held him firmly, not him.

Now, Lao Jin is faced with a dilemma, either wait slowly to die or commit suicide. None of them are what Lao Jin wants. However, fate is such a trick on people, and when Lao Jin was so desperate that he wanted to give up, the digging crab came back with a helper.

The burrowing crab smashed the ice with a large tongs, and Lao Jin was saved, but his legs were numb and he couldn't stand up at all, so he could only watch as he was caught by a large tongs and placed on the back of the burrowing crab.

Why hasn't Lao Jin ever sat on such a big face? Airplanes, tanks, ships, elephants, and camels have all sat on them, but they have never sat on crabs, to be precise, they have ever been lying.

The saved old Jin was not happy, he was thinking, why didn't the big crab use big tongs to chisel the ice cube to rescue his son before? Could it be that when the big crab brought the ice cubes up, the son was already dead?

Lao Jin thought to himself, not knowing that he had been taken into a cave.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Lao Jin set off again with a dozen people. While climbing the mountain, Lao Jin glanced into the distance from time to time, which attracted the curiosity of several people around him, so they asked him what he was looking at.

Lao Jin shook his head, saying that he was looking at an old acquaintance.

Old acquaintances? Anyone else climbing?

One asked.

Lao Jin shook his head again, didn't say anything, and quickened his pace and walked to the front.

Lao Jin's purpose was to send this group of people to the top of the mountain more than 6,000 meters, and then send them down the mountain safely, and the task would be completed.

Everything went smoothly and the most important thing to thank is that the weather has been good these days, there are no strong winds and heavy snow. When there were still more than 2,000 meters below the mountain, Lao Jin was told that he did not need to escort him on the next road, and the rest of the money was transferred to Lao Jin's bank account, and the task was completed.

Old Kim was thinking about going down the mountain to reunite with his family, when suddenly he changed his mind and wanted to visit an old friend. So instead of going straight down the mountain like the others, they climbed up the mountain.

Not far away, a person has been paying attention to Lao Jin, and when he saw that Lao Jin had gone up the mountain again, he felt that something was wrong, so he decided to break away from the group and follow Lao Jin alone to see what secrets Lao Jin was hiding.

Lao Jin came to a large hole and walked directly inside. The entrance of the cave was crooked, and Lao Jin stood in front of a clearing, raising his hand and stretching forward, as if touching a layer of water, and ripples rippled from his hand. Lao Jin smiled slightly, and his heart was much more steady, because this barrier was still there.

Lao Zhang raised his feet and walked in, and then disappeared.

The person who secretly followed him came to the entrance of the cave, looked inside, and felt very dark, and was a little afraid to go in, but when he thought that even an old man would dare to go in, what would he not dare, so he walked in with a flashlight. He walked for a long time, but he didn't see Lao Jin. I walked around inside and walked out directly. This person was stunned for a moment when he came out, he didn't remember that he had encountered a fork in the road, he had always walked in one direction, how did he come out?

He was a little confused, turned around and looked inside, but didn't see the fork in the road. So, he decided to go in and have a look.

Sometimes, God will inadvertently give you a chance to live, you have to take advantage of it, and when you don't cherish it, the opportunity will slip out of your hands.

The man walked in the cave for a long time without seeing the exit, he didn't know how long he had been in the cave, anyway, he had already eaten all the food on his body and drank the water. Now, hungry and cold, he regrets it a little.

After a few minutes, he already regretted it. I knew he wouldn't come in, but what's the use of thinking about it now?

After more than an hour, he was too lazy to think about why he had walked into the cave, his brain was already frozen.

Lao Jin came to a beautiful world, where the flowers are red and the grass is green, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the climate is warm, and the trees are towering. A few large crabs frolicked by the river, and several huge birds flew around in the sky. A small crab noticed Lao Jin and ran towards him with small steps. Lao Jin hurriedly took a few steps back, it was not a joke to be hugged by this little crab.

After a while, Lao Jin walked out of the hole, and when he stood at the mouth of the cave, he looked down at his watch, and it was only a little more than a minute since he entered the cave.

After Lao Jin came down the mountain, someone came over and asked him if he had seen that person. Lao Jin was stunned for a moment and said that he hadn't seen it.

After several years, when Lao Jin came to the entrance of the cave again, he found that the entrance of the cave had been sealed by stones, so he could only sigh and turn around and go down the mountain.

Finish.
