Lonely Lamp in the Desert Chapter 48 The Iron Gate of the Stream
The mountain is very large, and the cave extends far into it, and I admire the wisdom of ancient human beings to be able to dig such a deep cave with the most simple and primitive tools. The shaking of the candlelight in the www.biquge.info of the pen makes our shadows dance on the surrounding stone walls, and the huge figure dance is like the sacrificial dance of the primitive society, dancing irregularly but full of mystery.
The short part of the road that first entered the cave was on an upward trend, and after climbing a slope in the cave, the next road went down, the downhill road was not steep, but because the distance was too long, I thought that this downhill road led to the bottom of the mountain, but since the destination is the bottom of the mountain, why not dig the cave from the bottom of the mountain from the beginning, wouldn't it be easier and less laborious?
The candle in Mazi's hand gradually left only a small tail, and then it will burn to the hand, there are a lot of candles brought back from Inner Mongolia last time, this thing is not a rare object, don't cherish it so much, so I lit a candle and handed it to Mazi.
Mazi lived a careful life, and he was reluctant to throw away the candle head in his hand, so he simply used the characteristics of wax oil to glue the wax head with the new candle given to him.
Now a few people rarely speak anymore, one is that they have no strength, and the lack of water has caused a mouth to have a feeling of open skin, and they can't embarrass themselves for the sake of saying a few more words, and several people have tacitly shut up, and no one squeaks anymore.
We walked for twenty minutes on this downhill road, and we were still pockmarks, and suddenly stopped at the front, turned around and excitedly wanted to say something to a few of us, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I clearly saw that the corners of his mouth began to bleed out again, and he probably also felt the pain, closed his mouth, and pointed at his back like a deaf and dumb man.
He was so close to me that I couldn't hear what he meant, so I pulled him aside to see for myself what was in front of me that could make him so excited.
Pulling apart the pockmark, the scene that appeared in front of my eyes was indeed worth exciting, a thin stream slowly flowing from left to right, very lively and vibrant.
Now for us, the water source is much more valuable than real money, and it is precisely to go into the cave to find the water source, and now that I have finally found it, I am at a loss for a while, and I am frozen in place!
"Lao Xu, you're not fucking thirsty, are you? What are you doing standing stupidly? "Mako's voice was amplified several times in such a cave, and only then did I realize that everyone except what I thought was already kneeling on the ground and drinking water!
Mazi drank enough water, patted his stomach and lay on the ground: "I've never drunk such sweet water!" Hurry up and try it! ”
After the other people drank the water, they also looked satisfied, their faces were much better, and even their chapped lips became moist.
The water of the stream is indeed as Mazi said, clear and sweet, if you are not thirsty, you may not feel so much, but now I really feel that this stream water is a delicacy in the world, and it is hard to find.
After all, the cave is not a place where we can stay all the time, leaving the desert is the most important thing to do now, Asako and I filled the two water tanks we brought in, and reinforced the hole with duct tape, and after everything was checked, we decided to go out with two boxes of water and "Whitebeard" round.
"What's that?" Mazi and I had already taken the lead in carrying the water tank to the front of the team, and Lu Yubo behind him suddenly shouted excitedly, so that I had to put down the water tank and go to see what made him so excited.
Lu Yubo was excited and liked to dance a little, which I only found out in the last few days, he was afraid that I could not see what he found clearly, and took the initiative to turn on the flashlight for me, shining on the other side of the stream, by the light of the flashlights of the two of us, a huge rusty iron door appeared in my field of vision!
The two iron doors are not tightly together, but a small slit a few centimeters wide is left in the middle, which is quite a bit like holding the artistic conception of the pipa and half covering the face, if you look closely, you will definitely be able to see the scene behind the iron door from the gap, but if you want to enter, unless it is a strong man, or no one can open such an iron door.
"How could this iron gate suddenly appear in this cave? Why didn't you notice when I drank the water just now? Li Yi scratched his hair and looked at us with a puzzled expression, and we had the same doubts as him, because before drinking the water, no one noticed that there was such a scenery on the other side of the stream.
Mazi touched his nose and burped twice: "Just now it should have been that this water was too attractive, as soon as I saw this water, I was like seeing gold and silver treasures all over the ground, where do I still have the energy to look elsewhere!" ”
Indeed, I was in a daze for a long time after I saw the water just now, and my eyes never left the stream, and now that I think about it, maybe the iron gate was there in the first place, and none of us paid attention!
And listening to the words "gold and silver treasure" that Mazi just said, the treasure of Prince Mai Xi suddenly came out of the depths of my mind, because of the relationship of getting lost, it is difficult for us to find the specific burial location of the treasure from the map of the animal skin scroll, and now I have inadvertently found this mountain, this cave entrance and the iron gate in front of me now, could it be that there is a providence in the dark, and a few of us are the destined people mentioned on the stone tablet?
After drinking water, the physical strength has recovered a lot, and with the physical strength and the water source, there is the capital to live, and the minimum need of people is to live, and after they can ensure that they can live, then a normal person will definitely not want to live idlely, and will always want to find something to do for himself in order to get higher social recognition.
The iron gate in front of him seems to be separating the boundary between ancient and modern, of course, it is also the boundary between the Chinese civilization and the civilization of the Western Regions, and then behind this iron gate is really the treasure left by Prince Maixi, so since he calculated that there will be someone destined to find here, then would he think that his destined person is a Gentile from thousands of miles away who looks and blood is very different from him?
Now that the iron gate has been "placed" in front of us, there is no reason not to go in and have a look, and since the only "infidels" among us who may object are still waiting for the camels at the foot of the mountain. This time I don't need to mobilize again, several people present already have the intention of opening the iron door, and they hit it off, and the main problem is only how to open the iron door, and then what is behind the iron door will surface!
