Chapter 4: Sinkhole
Because we want to rush to Yueming Mountain as soon as possible, so we all woke up early, early on the road, the off-road vehicle set off about an hour later, we arrived at a village, this village is very close to Yueming Mountain, we want to bring some dry food and get tired of eating, want to find a family to open meat, eat some meat or something, but the strange thing is that this village is full of weeds, even the dirt road is overgrown with weeds, I don't even know where to go, and although there are many houses, but they seem to have been discarded, some have sunk into the ground.

We got out of the car and looked around, we didn't find it in the car, it turned out that there was a reason for the house that fell in, and even there were many collapsed places in the open space, it seemed to be some big pits, the diameter of these pits had to be four or five zhang, and the small ones were one or two meters, at this time we had to be glad that there were no pits on the road, otherwise it would be troublesome to fall.
After walking for a long time, we were surprised to find a room not far away that was smoking, so we walked over and put it in front of the door, and an old hunchbacked man came out with a dustpan, and his face was inexplicably frightened when he saw us.
We called the old man, and he ignored us and turned and went into the house, which made us feel a little strange, unless the old man was deaf. Seeing that the old man didn't respond, we walked over directly, and the second uncle first asked: "Uncle, we are asking for directions, where is Yueming Mountain going?" When the old man heard Yuemingshan, he immediately stopped and put the dustpan aside.
"What are you doing in Moonlight Mountain?" The old man turned around and asked us, of course we can't say that we are going to the inverted bucket, but we have to say that we are from the State Geological Survey, and we have come here to collect some soil as specimens, so that we can go back to study, and at the same time we also opened the topic, my father asked: "Uncle, why are there so many big pits in this village, and there are other villagers?" ”
As soon as the old man heard that we were from the Geological Survey Bureau, his vigilance became much lower, and he began to tell us about the affairs of the village, "You comrades, you don't know the hardships of our village. The old man sighed, "We have a cave in Yueming Mountain, I heard that it was dug out in the Ming Dynasty, in the past, people in our village herded cattle and sheep, once the cow ran into the cave, the cattle herder heard the cow barking in the cave, so he went into the cave to find the cow, but in the end the cow and the people never came out, we organized the people in the village to go in and look for it, went to five or six people, and then did not come out. ”
"And what about later? Didn't you call the police? My father was a little anxious to know, "The people in our village are not educated, except for me who has finished elementary school, everyone else has never gone to school, so they are more superstitious, saying that they have offended the mountain god, and the mountain god has come to punish us, as for calling the police, they don't have this concept in their heads, even if I persuade it, it is useless." Later, there were many sinkholes in our village, many houses collapsed, and people died, and they firmly believed that they had offended the gods, and believed that it was the Earth Dragon King who had turned over, and that many farmlands had also sunk down, and there were not many crops planted, so everyone moved away, and I was the only one left. ”
"Sinkhole?" I thought it was a bit funny, but I also studied geography in high school, and I knew the reason for the formation of this sinkhole, so I explained, "That's not a sinkhole!" That's when the groundwater is draining, which creates a lot of voids in the ground, so the ground sinks. ”
The old man was a little stunned when he heard me explain this, but when he heard me so official, his expression seemed to believe that we were from the State Geological Survey, and I continued to add: "But I don't know where the groundwater goes, maybe you have any underground rivers here, and the groundwater is concentrated there." ”
My father and second uncle saw that I was telling the truth, and their expressions were indescribable, and my father whispered to me: "Ji Ming, Ji Ming, it seems that you haven't read the book in vain, and you still know this." I was silent, but my heart was filled with joy.
"Uncle, can you take us into the mountains?" At this time, Abu opened his mouth to speak, and Tianming on the side poked him with his finger, signaling him not to say any more, this Abu is also a rectum, there is no foreshadowing in the middle, so he directly asked the old man if he could take us into the mountain, you know, there are many dead people in this mountain! Who will take you directly into the mountains!
"Uncle, we just want to go to the mountains to collect some specimens, we don't know the way, I want to ask you to give us guidance." The second uncle came out and explained what Abu meant just now.
"Oooh! I thought you were going into a cave! The cave can never enter, you can't get out if you go in, a while ago there was a group of outsiders, said they came to explore, but also like you carried a lot of bags, I haven't seen it until now, I don't know if it's gone or into the cave and didn't come out, these young people! Alas~" the old man said uneasily.
In order to let the old man take us into the mountain, we had to agree, "Don't worry, uncle, we really don't go into the cave, how dare we go in when you say this!" The second uncle said while squeezing his eyebrows at us, "You say yes!" I couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that the second uncle was an old fox, so we had to respond: "Yes, yes, yes, such a terrifying cave, how dare we go in!" ”
We first had some lunch at the old man's house, and then let the old man take us into the mountain, this mountain road is also a bumpy and rugged ah, I didn't walk long I felt like I had been working on the construction site for a few days, so sour and soft that I couldn't do it.
Finally, tired and tired walking for two hours, finally into the mountain, although the old man said that he was old, but he looked like he often entered the mountain, and he couldn't see a little tired, "I'll take you here, I have to go back to work, remember, don't go into the cave, when you come back, you just go back the way you came." The old man said to us.
"Okay, thank you, uncle!" The father and the second uncle thanked him, "By the way, uncle, where is the cave you are talking about?" Seeing that the old man didn't answer, the father continued to add: "We just understand and understand, we really don't go in!" "Okay!" The old man pointed in the direction of the west, "Now, that's it!" "I saw that there were many thorns in the place that the old man pointed to, and through the cracks in the thorns, I vaguely saw a black circle inside, I thought, that is the entrance of the cave!
The old man went back, of course, we also had to start preparing for the "work", took out the Luoyang shovel from the bag, the sapper shovel, first took the soil everywhere, and found that there was nothing special, and there was nothing to gain after working for most of the day.
"Second master, could it be that the tomb is in that cave?" Tianming asked the second uncle, and then I also reacted, "Grandpa's diary said that the jade was found here, and it is certain that there must be a tomb here, there is no reason why it can't be found." We discussed going into the cave to have a look, and my father nodded: "It seems that the tomb is not on the surface of this layer, we have to go in and have a look." So saying, we were in front of the cave.
I wanted to go into the cave with them, but my father insisted that I stay outside and refused to let me go in, but before my father and I could shout, the second uncle and the others had already entered the cave.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew in the cave, and just as we wondered where the wind came from in the cave, a foul smell came to our faces.
