At 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Shishan and I went up to Longyanling under the eyes of my mother and neighbors. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although my mother was reluctant to do anything, she didn't say anything after all, and the pale faces of her and Guan Boniang with tears in their eyes when they parted made me feel distressed. I reassured them again and again that I was absolutely fine.

I carried my schoolbag cross-body on the left side, and in order to make it easier to tie the flashlight with a rope, I carried it diagonally on the right side along with the kettle, and I also carried an open backpack containing a toad on my back, so I entered the Longyan Cave for the first time fully armed.

The strange stones in the Longyan Cave are all over the place, in a thousand forms, in fact, it is very beautiful. It's just that I don't have the time or the mood to appreciate.

As Zhang Shishan said, when entering the cave and turning around the rock wall, the inside is very wide, and it is estimated that it is about the same size as the large auditorium of the brigade, which can accommodate hundreds of people. Zhang Shishan was carrying food on his back, his flashlight was also tied to one side with a rope, holding a machete in one hand, and a torch wrapped in rags soaked in tung oil in the other hand to lead the way, and I followed closely behind. At first, the cave was quite wide, but the ground was extremely uneven, and it was very slow to climb up and down, and in some places it had to go around and around, climb and jump, and travel very slowly.

As soon as I entered the fork, I felt something unusual. In addition to a faint smell of rot in the air, there was also a strange dryness, and the toad in the basket cooed softly, and began to wake up restlessly. Zhang Shishan in front of him was startled, stopped and looked at me in surprise. I put down the basket, opened the burden tied to my mouth, and said softly: "Sister, it's up to you now, Uncle Liang and they are trapped in it to find the pickup, we have to rescue them first, and then go to find the pickup." ”

There was another soft scream, and the toad jumped out of the back basket, and with a loud scream, it rushed past Zhang Shishan, Zhang Shishan was frightened, and sat on the rock, and the torch he was holding was almost thrown away.

I quickly opened my schoolbag, took out the snow-white pig-killing knife, took out the money sword, handed it to Zhang Shishan, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's for me to help." You take this sword and follow me, and you'll be fine. ”

Without waiting for him to answer, I turned on my flashlight and chased the toad into the depths of the cave.

In this rocky cavern, the toad was much faster than me, and it jumped up and down, and the obstacles that hindered my progress did not exist, and it was nowhere to be seen. I simply gave up the chase and let it go all the way, I slowed down, and when the panting Zhang Shishan caught up, we walked in together.

Not far inside, I heard its croaking sound, high and rapid, and at the same time a gust of wind blew in the cave, and the temperature dropped several degrees suddenly. Zhang Shishan immediately sat on the ground and snorted in pain. I asked him to quickly cover his ears and sit here with the money sword in his hand and don't move, while I concentrated my breath, killed the pig knife in my left hand, pinched a five-thunder trick with my right hand, and strode towards the depths of the fork hole.

I know they've met, and they're tough, otherwise it wouldn't be screaming like that. Sure enough, a moment later I saw something amazing to me.

The toad sits on the top of a stalactite shaped like a bamboo shoot, facing the front, with a bulging belly and cheeks screaming from time to time, and it is far away from the opposite rock wall, there is a huge blue-green mixed color dog snake (note) confronting it, every time it barks, the dog snake puffs out a white mist with its mouth open, blowing a gust of yin wind, dissipating its offensive at the same time, but also can easily implement the counterattack.

The dog snake is very common in our area, also known as the four-legged snake. Every year in late spring and early summer, the dog snake comes out, and it can be encountered everywhere on the roadside mountain. The dog snake does not bite, it is not poisonous to bite, the small, the largest I have ever seen is only the length of chopsticks, there are blue-green, golden, earthy, and mixed-colored, dragging a long tail, the chubby one looks cute, sometimes we catch and play.

The reason why this dog snake is huge is relative. This dog snake looks more than three feet long and the thickness of a bowl, which is undoubtedly huge compared to its kind of chopsticks and finger thickness.

I looked at the dog snake and suddenly understood that it was the one who trapped the drunkard and Uncle Liang.

Like the toad, he is also a ghost animal. The difference with the toad is that it is not a resentful female ghost who lives on it, but a fierce spirit. I can feel that, in terms of skill, it is definitely above the toad. No wonder drunkards are no opponents.

The dog snake seemed to be a little excited when it saw me, its abdomen suddenly swelled, and at the same time it spewed out a large cloud of smoke at me, and at the same time, it pounced on me like lightning, and it actually attacked first.

The wind whined, the smell was unpleasant, and the temperature in the cave seemed to drop to freezing in an instant. I held my breath and stabbed forward with the pig-killing knife in my left hand, and the dog snake was not afraid, but opened its big mouth and spewed out a cloud of white saliva foam, which went straight to my door.

I was shocked, and snorted, this section of the cave was cramped, and the strange rocks all over the cave made it difficult for me to dodge, and in my eagerness I leaned close to the ground, and rolled forward towards it, at this time the toad let out a shocking scream, presumably it was cooperating with my attack. As I got up on my knees, the pig-killing knife in my left hand had been handed to the dog snake's shoe. I saw that its forefoot was raised, and a very strong slap was on the knife, my arm was numb, and with a "choking" sound, the pig-killing knife fell on the rock, and a few sparks were sparked. At this moment, the toad that leaped from the stalagmite was about to smash into its body, only to see its long tail flick and hit the body of the toad that flew over, and the toad screamed and flew into the rocks in the distance.

I seized the opportunity of this moment, and the five thunder palms of my right hand, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, suddenly swung out with all my strength, and hit its neck with a "boom". As I exhaled and shouted, the dog snake fell on all fours, falling on the opposite rock wall, I grabbed the fighter, flew over, and slammed into its belly with another five thunder palms.

The dog snake let out a strange "hiss" and spewed out a foul-smelling black blood from its mouth. I breathed a sigh of relief, slid and dodged, only to see it take advantage of the opportunity to get up, flip over, and run into the depths of the cavern.

Even after eating two of my five thunder palms, I can still escape without dispersing, this ghost animal is indeed strong. Even the black blood was vomited, and it should have been badly injured, so it would be easy to find it at this time.

I gave up this idea together, the toad doesn't know whether to live or die, the situation of Zhang Shishan behind is unknown, and the more important Uncle Liang I haven't seen them yet, and the situation in the cave is complicated, its hiding place must be dangerous and secret, how can I find it? Let's solve these problems first.

I heard the crooked cries of the toad in the distance, and I picked up the pig-killing knife on the ground, and was about to walk towards the rocks, but I saw it jump out, but some of its movements were sluggish, and it seemed that it was not lightly injured. I took out a wound medicine, stuffed it into its mouth and said, "You rest here, recover, I'll go pick up Zhang Shishan first, and then go to Uncle Liang and them." ”

I went all the way back, and soon I saw Zhang Shishan lying on the ground. Although he was protected by the money sword I left him, he was still injured by the yin wind of the dog woman snake and fell asleep, but it was fine. I squatted down and put a breath in the palm of my hand, touched back from his forehead hairline, and then stretched out my finger and pressed it lightly on the center of his eyebrows, and I saw him slowly open his eyes and wake up faintly.

Zhang Shishan was stunned for a moment, turned over and sat up, and asked me, "What happened to me just now?" ”

I lifted the basket and smiled, "It's not much, but I dozed off and let's go, I haven't seen Uncle Liang and them yet." ”

Zhang Shishan shook his head and stood up, re-lit the torch, and walked forward after me. When I arrived at the place where I was fighting with the dog woman snake just now, I picked up the toad and put it in the back basket, Zhang Shishan looked at it in horror, it is estimated that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have dreamed that there would be such a big toad in the world.
