The woman was grabbed by Zhuang Yu's subordinates, and she couldn't break free, so she began to scream urgently. I saw that her eyes fell on the middle of the pool, her eyes lit up, and I couldn't help but persuade: "Let go of her, maybe she wants to take something." ”

At the signal of Zhuang Yu's eyes, the man let go, and the woman swept out, so fast that I watched in amazement as she jumped off the yard bank of the pool, raised her head, brushed the hair from her face, and then opened her mouth wide. We all feel inexplicable when we see such a scene, is this woman mentally abnormal?

"She's drinking water." Sheng Shiyao said suddenly, his gaze swept to the top, and the flashlight naturally shone on. It was only then that it was discovered that there was a deep cave at the mouth of this natural crevice, and by this point, clusters of stalactites had formed at the top, and at the top of some stone tips, there were occasional water beads dripping. Looking at the dim place next to the bottom, we also found some stalagmites pulled out of the ground, nearly half a meter high, but they were stacked there, and we didn't notice it.

Stalactites and stalagmites are intimate companions, but they are also very different, one hangs from above like an icicle in winter, and the other looks like a bamboo shoot emerging from the ground. In fact, the two are complementary to each other, there are cracks on the roof of the cave itself, water droplets continue to seep out, when the water increases or falls, it leaves some calcareous precipitation, accumulates more and more, and finally grows into stalactites; At the same time, the droplets that fall to the ground are deposited, and stalagmites are formed over many years.

Sometimes you see stone pillars in the cave, in fact, stalactites and stalagmites are connected together, thick at both ends and thin in the middle. But such "encounters" are rare, because the orifice of the stalactite droplets will be clogged with lime, and then it will flow elsewhere and new stalactites will grow. But these formations require a fairly long process, not hundreds of years, but thousands or even more than 10,000 years before they will evolve into this, which shows the number of years that this cave has existed.

The pool where the woman was standing can be seen to have been carved out by hand, and it is likely that the stalactites originally had many droplets under them, which were used by the tribesmen to accumulate into domestic water. It should be that this water source has been tested to be harmless, so it will be used with confidence.

A tribe in the hinterland of the mountains with traces of life everywhere, when you get here, it becomes more and more mysterious. The Chigan people left, leaving only a single woman living like a beggar, speaking an incomprehensible indigenous dialect, what is hidden behind this?

We didn't have any supplies with us, and water would be very precious, so we were looking for equipment to pack some stalactite drips for later drinking. The equipment we could use was limited, at most we could find some wooden bowls and the like, the dripping water was not much and slow, and we walked for nearly half a day and decided to rest in place for a while. Due to the consumption of physical strength, there is no energy supplement, and I don't feel like I'm in a hurry, and I feel hungry as soon as I sit down.

I felt someone pull behind me, I looked back and found that it was the woman, she pointed at me and then at herself, babbling and saying a lot of words, I didn't understand what she meant. She looked confused and anxious, repeating the action just now, this time I understood what she meant, she took a fancy to the blue and black dress I was wearing?

Although it is not too convenient to walk in a long dress, this is the only thing I wear, even if she is ragged, I will never take it off for her. So I shook my head and said no. She was talking in local dialect while gesturing, and when she saw that I didn't understand, she reached out to pull me, Zhou Tong slapped her hand away from the side and glared, "What's the matter?" Still want to grab clothes? ”

The woman retracted her hand in pain, looked at Zhou Tong in fear, and didn't dare to pull me again, but her envious gaze stayed on my skirt, which shows that women love beauty, everyone has it, even if she is so sleepy, she is still longing. Jian Ning happened to come over, the woman's eyes lit up, and she ran to make a gesture to her, wanting to take her hand.

Zhuang Yu's subordinates were just about to scold, but Zhuang Yu raised his hand to stop them, and turned his eyes to meet Sheng Shiyao's gaze in the air, "Yao, what does she want to do?" Sheng Shiyao shook his head lightly and said lightly: "Let her take a look." ”

As soon as Jian Ning heard this, she no longer broke free from the woman's pull, and nodded at her, the woman showed surprise on her face, and pulled Jian Ning forward. We immediately got up and followed, leaving only one person to stay here and wait for the water. Judging from the woman's walking speed, she is very familiar with the terrain here, because of the appearance of stalactites here, there will be uneven stalagmites on the ground, but she walks like walking on the ground, and Jian Ning was pulled by her several times and was unstable and almost fell.

After walking about fifty meters, she let go of Jian Ningyi's hand, and we observed that the stalagmites and stalactites here are particularly obvious, and what is even more peculiar is that it is not like the gray one we saw before, it is actually colorful, whether it is the stalactites falling or the stalagmites emerging from the ground, they are very long, and they are almost colliding together.

When the lights shine, it's a complete spectacle, which can be described by all the words of beauty in my head. The woman walked behind a huge stalagmite, but disappeared, we hurriedly looked around, but stalactites and stalagmites were lined up, too many blind spots, and we couldn't find it for a while.

Zhou Tong shouted in annoyance: "I was deceived by her!" "The thought did cross each of us, and the woman, using her familiarity with the terrain, tricked us into coming here in order to escape. In the end, we are careless, thinking that there are so many people, and women have no ability to resist, so we don't have much vigilance against her.

was annoyed by himself, when he suddenly saw a stalagmite behind a woman come out, Zhou Tong stepped forward and grabbed her, and said angrily: "Where to escape?" The woman was startled by him, and the thing in her hand rolled to the ground, and we looked down intuitively, and found that there was an oval stone jar, about a foot long and nearly fifteen centimeters in diameter, and the lid had been opened. Liuzi immediately stepped forward to pick up the stone tool and handed it to Sheng Shiyao, I looked inside and found that it was a black paste-like thing.

The woman babbled again, pointing to the stone tool in her hand as she spoke, Sheng Shiyao glanced at her and said to Zhou Dao: "Let go of her." After the woman was freed, she ran over and paused one meter in front of Sheng Shiyao, as if she was a little afraid of him. Sheng Shiyao handed me the stone jar, and then took a step aside, the woman looked happy, did not hesitate to approach me, pointed to my skirt again, and pointed to the stone jar, afraid that I would not understand, and reached into the jar to smear a piece of black things, and actually sent it to her mouth.

Can this be eaten? I was slightly surprised in my heart, and I looked at the woman's expression as if I was enjoying it, as if I was tasting delicious food. Jian Ningyi guessed on the side: "She wants to exchange this for our skirt?" "I've thought about this too, but is it really edible? She saw that we looked suspicious, and she also saw the meaning, and quickly wiped another piece and handed it to my mouth, motioning for me to taste it too.

It's common sense not to eat strangers' food, and it's such a black thing, where do I dare to eat it, I stepped back and shook my head. The woman looked very anxious, at this moment, suddenly a hand stretched out from the side, swept a piece of the mouth, I turned my head in disbelief, and saw Sheng Shiyao put the finger to his mouth, and shouted urgently: "Can't eat!" ”

But in the next second, he had already stretched out his tongue and licked it, his expression did not move a bit, and he whispered after a few seconds: "It's not unpalatable, and honey is included." The crow was silent, all eyes were fixed on him, and I found my own voice: "You don't feel strange after eating, do you?" For example, do you have stomach pain? He shook his head slightly, "This should be her treasured food." ”

After having his affirmation, I also had the courage to wipe it out, put it in my mouth and tasted it, it was really not unpleasant, a rich honey fragrance melted into it, and a little sesame flavor, it seems that the source of melanin is sesame seeds. After making sure that it was edible, this jar of food was equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow for us, but Jian Ning and I were in a dilemma, the long skirt could be changed to her, but after taking it off, we had no extra clothes to wear again, and the woman saw us hesitating, and babbling and babbling words that she didn't understand to persuade us.

"Xiaoxiao," Sheng Shiyao called me softly, "you wear my coat." ”

Hearing him say this, I remembered that when I changed into this national costume before, I felt awkward not wearing a pair of trousers under the long skirt, so I didn't take off my jeans. And the men's clothes are all jackets and pants on the placket, Sheng Shiyao's shirt did not take off, and I took the coat he handed over and got into the stalagmite with the woman.

She took me around several stalagmites, and when I came to a clearing, I saw a hole in the ground with several jars of stone in it. With a move in my heart, there are so many of us, and only that jar of honey sesame paste is definitely not enough, so I pointed to the stone jar and then pointed to the long skirt on my body, and made a gesture of one. At first, the woman disagreed, but I negotiated with her and pretended to leave without making the deal, but she finally nodded, took out another can from the hole, and reluctantly handed it to me.

Seeing her like this, I also know that it is the bottom line, and I can't be black-hearted anymore. simply took off the long skirt on his body, and then put on Sheng Shiyao's cardigan jacket, although it was a bit nondescript to wear it like this, it would not be embarrassing to walk in front of others. I don't know if it's my own psychological effect, wearing the clothes that Sheng Shiyao just took off, I feel that it has his breath on it.

During this time, a question flashed through my mind, since this woman had hidden food here, why was she so yellow and skinny? The woman put on the long skirt and spun it around, smiling with satisfaction on her face. Seeing her like this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help curling, and she reached out to help her tidy up her long and scattered hair, but she took a step back, saw that I had no malicious intent, and understood the meaning of my action, and leaned over to me.

I used a rope to tie her hair back, and sure enough, someone asked for clothes, and after dressing up like this, this woman was much more beautiful than before.
