In my vague consciousness, I only remember that the darkness was constantly engulfing me, like a dense black cloth, tightly wrapped around my body, and every thread on it was strangled into my flesh, so that I could not breathe and my whole body was full of pain. The only thought I had left was that I was going to drown in the Yellow River.

Slowly, just when I could barely breathe, I saw a short figure slowly drifting towards me at the end of the darkness. I couldn't move, I could only keep watching her come towards me in the midst of my struggle.

As she got closer, the outline of her face slowly became clear in my field of vision. I was horrified: this is the old woman I met when the ghost hit the wall before!

At this time, I saw that there was still an eerie calm on her face, and her eyelids were thickly hanging over those two eyes, and I could only see her thin nose slightly hooked inwards and her shriveled purple lips, which seemed to tremble slightly.

I heard her hoarse voice suddenly sound: "Who called you?" ”

I shuddered when I heard this, and I opened my mouth to scream, but I found that my mouth seemed to be covered by the darkness like a black cloth, and I couldn't even make a sound even if I tore my throat. But I was still trying to scream, and just then, the old woman suddenly rushed at me, and the rusty scissors in her hand stabbed straight into my neck!

I snapped my eyes open.

There were a few pieces of luggage we had brought with us scattered around, and I was in a small hole surrounded by loess. Turning his head to look around, there was no one except me, Uncle Bai, Lao Bustard and Tang Haitang had all disappeared.

I moved my body slightly, my head was a little foggy, and my limbs were not damaged except for some soreness. I rubbed the temples on both sides of my head and remembered what had happened before: after I opened the mound on the stone platform with the old bustard and others, the stone platform collapsed, and we were sucked into the whirlpool under the Yellow River, after which I fell unconscious.

But then I was amazed to find that the clothes on my body were actually dry! There is no sign of getting wet! I looked at the items scattered around, and none of them were wet, they were all dry. I couldn't react in my head: I had fallen into the Yellow River before, so my master should have been soaked, but why did he wake up and be dry?

I looked around suspiciously, and then I found something that surprised me: this cave seemed to have no exit! I panicked a little, and quickly got up and quickly glanced around the earthen walls, but I never saw any gaps to escape or enter, that is. This cave turned out to be completely sealed!

But how did I get here if there wasn't a hole?

I looked down again in amazement, and found that although there was no light source in this cave, the whole space was strangely bright, as if the brightness was created out of thin air!

The question came back to my mind, and I couldn't even think about it. Putting this aside, let's say that I was constantly sinking to the bottom of the Yellow River when I was sucked in by the whirlpool, so could it be said that this cave was under the Yellow River?

My mind was in a state of confusion, including the darkness before and the old woman who appeared in the darkness, which made me feel as if I was stuck in a quagmire full of doubts, and the more I thought about it, the more I sank down.

At this moment, a murmuring sound suddenly sounded in my ears. The sound was quiet, but it was particularly abrupt in this closed and narrow earth hole, like the eerie sound of a flute in the quiet of the night. I followed the sound and saw that at the bottom of the corner of the cave there was a wide hollowed-out channel-like trough, which was dug from one corner of the cave to the corresponding corner, which was relatively wide. At this time, in this trough, there is a little water flowing slowly, yellow and clear, mixed with sediment, just like the water of the Yellow River.

I frowned and stood cautiously to the side and observed. I didn't understand where the sediment on the tank was coming from, but I could see that the water was constantly flowing from the right to the left, and the speed of the water was slow, and it didn't seem to stop. At this moment, I found that the left and right ends of the slot were empty, and there was a bright light, and it seemed that the slot was connected to the outside of the left and right ends.

Just when I wanted to take a closer look, I found that a little red water streak suddenly appeared on the water surface in the left port of the trough, I thought I was dazzled, but then the red water streak continued to become more and heavier, and finally, it turned into a thick bright red!

Immediately afterwards, I saw something in the left port suddenly float out along the mud and sand, like a lifeless fallen leaf, floating quietly on the water.

I was curious, and I leaned in to see what was going on. When I looked at it, I was shocked to see that it was a distorted grimace! His eyes were hollow, and his mouth was wide open, staring at me. I tried to hold my head, and when I looked closely, it wasn't a grimace, but a sallow human skin!
