Eighty-seven, the underworld
At this time, fog rose in the underworld, and the thick fog mixed with volcanic ash seemed to be a rain.
Things began to get complicated, the smoke and ash flying in the sky, the fog filled, the light that had been guiding us was gone, and even the roots and vines on the top of the cave were gone, and the endless darkness was pressed down again, and we walked, and soon we couldn't even distinguish between the east and the west, and we felt like we had been spinning in place.
Time without a sense of direction always feels like a very long time. The woman tried to talk to me several times, but I refused, but although I ignored her, I still watched her with my spare eyes.
I have to say that she is still quite beautiful, with a slender figure and a delicate face.
"Ahem." She looked at me, as if she had noticed my small movements.
I hurriedly turned my head and whispered to the enchantress.
She covered her mouth and let out a series of victorious laughs.
There was no time to do more of this kind of entanglement with her, and under the strange underground world, like the underworld, the scenery began to change, and the fog and dust, and the fossil-like trees were lifeless.
"Take a break, I'm a little tired." The girl sat down on the spot, "You're here for the tree too, aren't you?" We have the same purpose, so I think we can join forces. ”
I stopped and looked at her, thinking to myself, I finally got down to business, and slowly sat down on the spot, leaning against a tree, squinting at her.
"Our position is not the same as that of the Japanese, everyone is old, and there is something to say. Let's get rich together. ”
"Send your head, Lao Tzu is here to find someone, not to find a baby."
"Looking for someone?" My words stunned her for a moment, and she suddenly fell silent and began to meditate.
I was a little sluggish, and for a moment I couldn't think of what was wrong with what I just said. It would have caused her to have such a big reaction.
Almost a long time later, she spoke, "Who are you looking for?" Family? Friend? Still is......? ”
"She's smearing me." The subconscious mind tells me.
So I didn't want to speak again.
She gave me a blank look, closed her eyes and began to rest.
Deep underground, the dense fog has not yet dissipated, although all the way, it seems that there is no danger, but as a man's sixth sense, he still feels that this place will not be as peaceful as it seems.
But slowly, I also seemed to derive a feeling of being at ease, maybe I was really sleepy, and the intense drowsiness diluted my fear. Actually, I thought to myself, this is just a fossil forest, that is, the trees here are not the same as the trees on the ground, and there are many species that I have never seen before. Thinking about touching the bark with my hand, it felt like a hard piece of iron. Especially the tree I was leaning back to, its leaves were like a small umbrella, and it was green.
After resting for a while, I got up at the same time as her.
After walking a little further, several black-brown stones appeared in front of us. The stones are basically spindle-shaped or spherical, black, egg-like, and of various sizes. Although some of them vary greatly in shape, most of them are not round like water droplets.
"It's a volcanic egg." The girl said to me without looking back. "Volcanic eggs are volcanic eruptions when magma is ejected into the air with hot lava, spinning and falling into the volcanic ash, the surface cools, and the magma becomes a spindle or spherical shape."
"This was once a volcano?"
"I don't know, but at least this is within the range of the volcano's ejection, and the volcano is likely to be around here, otherwise how could there be so much volcanic ash with the closed conditions here?"
"Little girl, you know a lot!"
She raised her eyebrows, "Women, if you don't rely on some knowledge to package yourself, you will always be just a vase!" ”
I said, "Pull it down, what woman has packed herself with a machine gun and a knife these days." ”
He looked at me with wide eyes and said, "Yes, Scarlett Johansson (Marvel movie, Black Widow actor. )。 ”
"Damn!" I stepped over a rotting tree that had fallen to the ground, shook my arm, and was speechless for a moment, so I could only keep my head down.
I have to say that the forest under this ground is still very large, we walked for more than half an hour and still did not see the head, the light in the distance has long been invisible, can not be used as a sign for us to distinguish the direction, we can only go along the rock mass on both sides, but the space on both sides is much narrower, some bare soil layers are revealed, geological changes are very obvious here, cracks like the chimney of the house to the ground.
I stood in front of the crack and watched for a long time, but finally shook my head and gave up the idea of climbing up from here, after all, I was not Laura Crawford. (The heroine of Tomb Raider)
After walking for more than 10 minutes, the girl stopped, found a layer of soil and sat down.
"Can't walk?" I glanced at her, "Shall I go first?" ”
"You dare!" She glared at me, "There's something else you need to do for me." ”
Listening to his words, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, hey, this chick is amazing, this is really treating me as a servant, so he immediately replied: "You don't have long hands?" Don't have long legs? ”
She stopped talking, just sat on the ground, and I pretended to take two steps forward, and she didn't move, and began to rummage through her backpack.
Silence, "A woman's silence is often a sign before a storm." This is a quote that my little uncle is very afraid of, and it took me years to summarize.
My heart tightened, "Damn, it's not like I'm not chatting with her, and I'm going to shoot me." ”
Sure enough, at this time, there was a sound of cans colliding with guns in the backpack, and I listened to my steps involuntarily slowing down, tense the miracle, and watching her every move sideways.
Don't say, women are creatures, never play cards according to common sense, one second she can shout that her husband I want it, and the next second she can ask you coldly if you didn't take a bath today? Get out of here and take a shower. And when you come out of the shower, you find that she has already watched Korean dramas with her ipad in her arms, telling you to roll and play games.
"I'm a little cold." She was like a noble princess, sitting on a stone and looking at me.
I really want to say, go to your uncle's, but her right hand has been in the backpack, and I am afraid that she will not say a word, take out a pistol, and give me two bullets suddenly.
"Understood." I nodded and began to undress.
"What are you doing?" She was startled.
"Aren't they hugging each other for warmth? If you don't worry, I won't think you're small-breasted. In fact, it is good to have small breasts, so the fit is tighter, and the temperature rises quickly. ”
Her: "....... ”
"Go pick up wood." She gritted her teeth, and four words popped out of her mouth one by one.
I could feel the green tendons on her forehead.
I was taken aback.
"Oh, by the way, you don't have many batteries for your flashlight, and if you don't come back, you'll die in this underground forest." She said to me with a smile on her face, her eyes like crescent moons.
I shuddered, I could feel the gloom behind that smile, and I thought to myself that the hero will not suffer the immediate loss, and go out and settle accounts with you. And he drew his legs and walked forward.
At this time, on the left hand side is a large underground forest, among which there are dead fossil trees and new vegetation, but I dare not go into the interior of the forest, and the man's sixth sense must have made a red warning to my brain, so that I don't want to do stupid things like death. But if you really want to pick up branches, you can really go back with the stones.
My ears moved, and I heard the sound of water flowing in the distance, and I didn't know if it was the main stream or a branch of the river, if it was the main river, maybe I could catch a few fish to eat.
The light of the flashlight flashed at this time, and I was shocked, knowing that if there was really no power here, the woman would not come to me, so I could only tell myself not to think too much, and I went deeper and harder, and sure enough, I entered the forest, and the ground was full of dry and cracked branches, and the sound of the water was getting louder and louder, but when I looked around, I couldn't see the river.
Further inside, there is a lush sea of trees.
I tried to take a few steps forward, I wanted to catch a fish and go back, but the air under this ground was very stuffy, probably because there was no sunlight, as soon as I stopped, the sweat and fog on my back were mixed in my clothes, and the cold water vapor rushed to my body, and I thought that I should go back and ask the woman for something to eat, there is no need to go into the forest again, man, in the predicament, the face is nothing.
Well, this was said by King Yue.
So I picked up some branches and trotted back.
Now the girl was sitting there when she was full, and the canned box was not thrown aside, and the person was shivering with cold. I know that a sudden stop during a long journey can easily lead to a rapid cooling of the body, especially in such a cold place where the sun is not shining.
She heard my footsteps, turned her head to look at me, was overjoyed to see me coming, threw me a box of cans, and took the flint and steel from her backpack by the way.
I took the can and suddenly thought, hey, how does this plot feel like I'm fucking like a dog who picked up a frisbee and came back?
Forget it, blame him, there's something to eat anyway.
I opened the can and licked it, and it didn't take long for her to skillfully ignite the fluff that ignited the fire, and then a little crimson light appeared in the wind with temperature. She stuffed the fluff into the wooden branch that had been erected in advance, and the flame suddenly burned, and the more it burned, the more vigorous it became, and after a while, gradually, the temperature also passed close to the face, and she and I gathered around the fire, and at the same time stretched out our hands against the flames and turned it.
It's really amazing, who would have thought that I was still sticking to the cold tree last night, and today I would be warming up with a little beauty? The firelight reflected the side of her face, and I just looked at her, and suddenly her face overlapped a little in my memory.
"Have we met?" I wanted to ask her, but I didn't open the exit for a while, because soon I remembered that I had indeed seen her, and it was in Ebian, Sichuan.
