Chapter 10: The Cave
We were very careful along the way, and from time to time we used a flashlight to shine into the river to prevent a few large leeches from suddenly popping out of the water. After walking more than ten meters, I saw more than a dozen leeches swimming in the water. However, they swam past us, ignoring us, and swimming straight in the direction we came.
Wan Bao is right, there are many such things in this cave. We didn't dare to stay and went down the river. After walking a few hundred meters, the road turned a corner, and the river flowed forward. The direction of the water flow is all rocks. But it was clear that there should be a waterway under the rocks.
We walked a short distance along the road, and the road became rough and difficult. The high and low are uneven. When I took the flashlight, the ground was full of jade.
Walking along the jade road, after a cigarette, we came to a huge cave. Take the flashlight to shine past, the cave is dozens of meters wide, the stalactites hanging down from the top stand and hang down, touch it with your hand, the stalactites continue to flow water, after the water droplets gather up, the bottom is thick and thin, and soon it drip down, and it will gather a drop again in a short time. Looking into the distance, there are large stone tables and chairs in the cave, and there are rows of stone beds near the edge of the cave. We took a closer look and found that there were several cauldrons next to the stone table. And there are some bone-like things in the pot, and the unburned firewood in the stove under the pot is clearly visible. It seems that there are people living in this big hole.
Feng Lao Nong and Wan Bao looked around in the cave. Wan Bao said: "There are still people in this cave, it looks like we have to go down for a while."
"Who would live in this cave, my God. If you can't see anything in the dark, aren't you afraid to eat food in your nose? Feng Laonong said.
"Alright, don't be verbose. Hurry up! Wan Bao ordered.
Feng Lao Nong was picking up something in the corner at this time, and then picked it up and put it in his backpack.
Wan Bao glanced at him and said, "It's all in some broken bowls and rotten plates, and you can't exchange it for dozens of dollars when you go out!" With that, he flashed his flashlight and walked towards the other side of the cave.
The three of us saw that there was nothing of value around, so they dispelled the idea of making a small fortune and ran a few steps to follow.
Out of the cave, not far away. The road is downwards and very steep. We carefully walked down a few dozen meters against the wall, and the road became flat.
At this point, Wanbao waved his hand and motioned for us to stop. After we stopped, Wan Bao flashed his flashlight and walked forward with a dace shovel in hand. We didn't know what was going on, so we had to turn on the flashlight to help Wanbao shine on. Wan Bao walked to a place more than ten meters in front and stopped. We saw that there was no danger, so we surrounded us.
When they arrived at the place, they saw two corpses lying on the ground. Like the first skeleton seen, the flesh and bones of these two bodies have long since decayed. All that remains is a complete human skeleton, with a small amount of unmelted clothing on it. At this time, it was discovered that there was also an underground river near the mountain on the side of the road. The water of the river is also crystal clear, and the depth is two or three meters.
Wan Bao looked at the corpse and didn't speak, and walked forward with a flashlight.
After a while, we saw something in the shape of a human floating in the river, and when we got closer, we saw that it was several corpses. Strangely, the bodies soaked in the water did not decompose. The corpse had no clothes on it, and was soaked white by the river. The corpses were much larger than normal, and they looked like they were swollen by the river.
Wan Bao walked to the side and asked Feng Lao Nong to take his hand, and he stretched out his arm and tried to pull a corpse leaning against the water's edge with a shovel. After several efforts, the shovel was plunged into the corpse, and then Wan Bao pulled the corpse to the shore with all his might. We hurried around.
