Chapter 33: Don't Look Back
The monkey and I both knew Lao Zhao's temperament, so we didn't continue to ask Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao saw that we didn't ask anymore, so he put the pipe in his pocket, straightened his body and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, two little brothers, we're about to reach the end!" ”
As soon as the monkey and I heard this, we both became excited, and I immediately asked, "Lao Zhao, tell me quickly, where is the end?" Lao Zhao didn't speak, just raised his arm and pointed to the darkness in front of us.
The monkey and I were dumbfounded, the monkey was a little disbelieving, and said, "Damn, Lao Zhao, what do you mean, is the end under the abyss?" Lao Zhao nodded: "Yes, just under the abyss, that big tripod is the end." ”
After hearing this, I chuckled in my heart and said, "Lao Zhao, then according to your meaning, we still have to go to the bottom of the abyss?" Lao Zhao said: "Of course, where can we go if we don't go down, is it possible that we still retreat from the cave?" There is a wind blowing up under this abyss, and the following must be connected with the outside world, we can only go down, maybe we can go out, but before we go out, we must go to Dadingli, even if we don't find the baby, we can also have a long experience, and it is worth the trip! ”
What Lao Zhao said seems to be very reasonable, but in the face of this dark abyss, let alone asking me to go down, I even felt panicked when I looked down a few more times.
The monkey was also a little weak-hearted: "I said Lao Zhao, this abyss is bottomless, let's not talk about whether there is any danger down here, let's just talk about the most direct problem in front of us, how should we go down?" ”
Lao Zhao smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, the mountain people are free and wonderful!" Saying that, Lao Zhao pointed to the side of the platform, and the monkey and I both looked in the direction that Lao Zhao pointed, but saw that there was nothing there, I was a little strange, is there a secret passage leading to the bottom? So I carefully touched it.
When I had gone by, I noticed that at the edge of the platform there were some things like vines, and these things were joined together like twisted flowers, and they were of different thicknesses, the thickest of which was as thick as my thigh, and I stood on the edge of the platform and looked down the cliff, and found that these things were like a python along the cliff and went straight into the abyss, and I knocked with my hand, and found that this thing was extremely hard, like a stone.
Lao Zhao and the monkey also came over, and Lao Zhao said: "This is a kind of bone withered vine, it is relatively hard, because it looks like a bone, so it is called a bone withered vine!" Saying that, Lao Zhao kicked the bone withered vine in front of him a few times with his foot, and then said: "The growth of the ancient withered vine does not need sunlight, as long as there is a water source, it can grow, and it is specially dependent on the mountain wall to grow upward, when it encounters a large gap in the stone wall, its tentacles will drill into the stone crevice, and take root in the stone crevice, and then continue to grow up, just like a creeper." Our platform here is just right for it to root and grasp, and it's extremely sturdy. This vine is hundreds of years old, and we can rely on it to go down into the abyss. ”
The monkey and I were shocked when we heard it, we had never seen this kind of thing, and when we heard Lao Zhao say that we had to rely on these vines to go to the bottom of the abyss, the cold hair on our bodies couldn't help but stand up.
The monkey asked, "I said Lao Zhao, are you sure that this rattan can bear my weight?" In case the vine breaks, this fall will be shattered! ”
Lao Zhao replied: "You don't have to worry about this, you are still worried about whether you have the body that can support you to go down to the bottom of the abyss." Saying that, Lao Zhao retreated to the inside of the platform and sat down, and then said: "Let's rest first, it's an individual life from here, and now we have to reserve the body!" ”
The monkey and I are still a little anxious, but so far, we can only do it! We all sat down to eat some dry food, then turned off our flashlights, intending to get some good sleep first.
After a while, the monkey's snoring began to sound, and Lao Zhao leaned against the stone wall, his eyes closed, and he was probably asleep. I also sat against the stone wall, dazed but always out of a half-asleep state, sleeping in this environment always felt unsteady, and the stone wall was rough, and my back against the stone wall felt very uncomfortable.
I don't know how long it took, I was woken up by the rough stone wall, this feeling was really uncomfortable, at this time I felt extremely tired, so I touched the stone wall next to me with my hand to see if there was any smooth place, I wanted to move the position.
I
But I slowly noticed that something was wrong, the lines on the stone wall did not seem to be chaotic, but orderly horizontally and vertically, with clear spacing, a bit like handwriting.
I immediately took out my flashlight, turned it on, and sure enough, it was engraved with four big words: Don't look back! I was stunned for a moment, out of instinctive reaction, I immediately looked back, and suddenly my heart trembled, only to see a black shadow standing on the edge of the cliff, motionless, I immediately used a flashlight to shine it, and found that this person was Lao Zhao.
I immediately shouted: "Lao Zhao, what are you doing standing there, dangerous!" Lao Zhao didn't respond to me, still standing there, and the monkey was still snoring at this time.
I called Lao Zhao a few more times, and at this time, Lao Zhao turned to look at me, and I found that he was smiling at me, and he was laughing extremely weirdly, and suddenly my cold hair stood up.
I asked in a trembling voice, "Old ...... Lao Zhao, you fucking laugh...... What to laugh at? Lao Zhao didn't answer me, he was still standing on the edge of the cliff and smiling at me, so he kept stalemate.
Suddenly, Lao Zhao jumped and jumped off the cliff directly! Until the moment he was completely lost in the darkness, his face was always smiling at me! I immediately climbed to the edge of the cliff and kept calling Lao Zhao's name, but I couldn't see Lao Zhao, and the monkey was still sleeping like a pig.
Suddenly, a hand fell on my shoulder, and my body trembled, and I suddenly woke up from my sleep.
At this time, I realized that I was dreaming, and it was a monkey who woke me up, and when the monkey saw that I was sweating profusely, he asked, "Damn, what's wrong with you, are you having a nightmare?" ”
I gasped for breath and took a few sips of water to recover: "It was a nightmare, and it was fucking weird!" ”
The monkey then asked, "Damn, what are you dreaming of me again?" I just heard you keep calling you Brother Monkey and my name in my dreams! ”
I chuckled and immediately asked, "Are you sure you heard me right?" My name is yours? ”
The monkey replied: "No, you are desperately shouting monkey monkey monkey, and you have mixed up my spring dreams!" ”
I was immediately confused, it's really strange, I obviously dreamed of Lao Zhao, and I have been shouting Lao Zhao's name in my dreams, why did the monkey hear his name? What a fucking wickedness!
I immediately told the monkey what I had dreamed of, and the monkey thought it was strange, and he thought it didn't make sense.
I asked the monkey again, "Did you really fucking hear me right?" ”
The monkey replied: "How could I have heard it wrong, I don't believe you asked Lao Zhao!" ”
So I immediately prepared to ask Lao Zhao, but seeing that Lao Zhao was not in the same position where he stayed before, I scanned the entire platform again and found that Lao Zhao and his luggage were gone.
