Chapter 24: Ghost Laugh
I'm a person who admires science, and I agree with the materialist view, so I don't believe that these supernatural phenomena really exist, and there must be something I haven't noticed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I wanted to go over and take a look, but the moment I got up, I lost my strength and collapsed on the ground, my bones as if they were about to fall apart, and my heart ached. I realized how serious the consequences of the fall were, and now my only wish is not to be half-paralyzed.
The damp sand was a little soft, and I lay on it and didn't dare to move, for fear that if I moved, a bone would break immediately. I don't know if there's anything wrong with my internal organs, but I have a dull pain in my lower abdomen, which adds to my worries.
Xiaolu said, the more times like this, the more you should be calm, thinking of old friends, I can't help but burst into tears, although I don't know what happened to him, but I still bless him from the bottom of my heart.
I rested for a long time and gradually calmed down. Now I might try to move, but I can't just lie down like this all the time, or I'll be a dead body.
I moved my fingers a little and it felt okay, then I shook my feet again, and then I started to move my limbs. I noticed that it was okay and slowly stood up.
The waterfall is not far away, and since the water is so fast, I should have been very fast when I was washed down, so it was still a short distance from the waterfall.
Because it was still a bit difficult to move, I almost moved my feet, the light was not bright, and I had to get very close to see what was going on.
I was stunned for a moment, and then it dawned on me. It turned out that this was a cliff-like structure, and the waterfall just brushed the edge of the cliff and fell to a depth of about a few meters, so from my position, it looked as if the waterfall had disappeared from the ground. I can't help but sigh that nature is truly magical. It's a pity that such a magical sight is hidden underground.
The waterfall hung down in front of my eyes, and occasionally some droplets splashed on my face, I couldn't see the details of the pool, but I guess it wouldn't be a dead pool, there should be a drainage channel, otherwise the water level would flood up one day.
Where do I go now? I originally came here to save the fawn, and finding the fawn became all my motivation, but the fawn had an accident, and I lost the motivation to move forward.
I don't know what happened to the fawn in that cave, and I can't understand what I saw at the time, but thankfully, it wasn't the fawn that lay next to Four-Eyes that night, at least the fawn shouldn't have been killed by Four-Eyes.
I've been through despair many times before, but I've survived until now. I don't know if it's God's will or my tenacious vitality, but at the moment I really don't have the courage to move forward.
I am reminded of a saying: people who love to laugh are not too lucky. But I don't like to laugh, I like to complain, I like to go to Internet cafes to play games, I like a comfortable life, I'm a coward at best! I don't understand what I have to stand here, I seem to have lost everything.
Just when I was about to reach the limit of despair, suddenly there was a "giggle" laugh from the front.
In front of it was the dark depths of the cave, from which the laughter came, accompanied by the "rustle" sound of the waterfall, so strange and desolate, ethereal, as if it was a child's voice, and as if it was a woman's, it seemed to be something, and it echoed in the cave for a long time like a ghost.
I was scared into a cold sweat by the sudden laughter, and all my previous emotions vanished. Who's up ahead? Who would come to such a ghost place? Fear overwhelmed me a little.
The laughter lasted for a full five or six seconds before it stopped, and I stood there with a sigh of relief, staring blankly ahead, seeing nothing but darkness.
I was tempted to go and see it, but I didn't have any weapons or lighting, so I went there empty-handed, and if I encountered any danger, I had no room to fight back.
Looking around, there's nothing to be used for, and if I can have something to defend myself, I'll definitely feel a lot more at ease. After hesitating for a moment, I decided to go and check it out, and it wouldn't lead to anything if I stayed here anyway.
I mustered up a little courage and slowly walked into the darkness. The pain in my body was not as strong as before, but it was still a little difficult to move, and I gritted my teeth and slowly moved forward.
The depths of the cave were a little cold, and with my soaked clothes, I felt terrible cold. It was pitch black, and I moved carefully step by step, and my hand kept groping ahead, for fear that I would suddenly hit a wall or hit something strange.
After walking for about ten minutes, nothing happened, and even if there was anyone nearby, I couldn't have known. I suddenly felt ridiculous, thinking about things so lax, I really didn't understand how I got into college. Now I can only go all the way, and if I come here, I might as well see what lies ahead, I don't believe that such a long road will eventually become a dead end.
The road has been going on, at least so far I have not turned a corner, and the eerie laughter has not been repeated. Who the hell sent it? I wondered to myself, but I didn't have any clue.
I fumbled my way around again, and still nothing happened. Because the road was too smooth before, I gradually relaxed my vigilance, and instead of trying for a long time with every step as I did at the beginning, I gradually increased my speed.
The length of this tunnel is beyond my imagination, I don't understand if it is natural or artificial, and if it is man-made, then what is the purpose of digging this tunnel? Naturally occurring tunnels are rare, and most of them are created by fissures in the mountains and then through tens of millions of years of erosion. Since it's pitch black, I can't see anything and can't get an idea of what it's like.
Suddenly, I felt like I had hit something, and I felt the world spin for a while, and then I lost my balance and sat on the ground. That's bad luck! Don't you think I've been through it badly enough?!
I clutched my forehead for a long time. I fumbled with my hands for a while, and realized that there should be a glimpse of the bumpy rock wall ahead, but it wasn't as damp as the previous cave. I thought it was a dead end, but I found that far to my right, there were faint green dots of light, flickering and faintly, and it seemed that the tunnel was beginning to extend to the right.
Just as I was looking at those points of light, a strange laugh sounded again, which could be said to be resentful, like weeping, like a ghost, like a ghost, floating from the front.
