I was unconscious, after a long period of suffocation and shock. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen I woke up again, I found myself in the middle of a forest, leaning against the roots of a large tree. The tree has lush leaves, and a light shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves on my face, and this light makes me feel peaceful.

But I soon realized that it was not what I saw, and that there was still darkness all around me, and the darkness that engulfed everything was still enveloping me. I did not escape the nightmare of horror - this huge tree grew in a cave that communicated with the outside world, and above the dome, there was a large round hole at the mouth of the well, and the light shone through the round hole, and I wondered why such a tall tree had grown in the cave.

I told myself that I had to climb this tree, that this was the chance God had given me to escape the nightmare. I did climb the tree, and even though there were no forked branches at the bottom of the tree, you know, I could climb this kind of tree, even if it was a bare telephone pole, and I could climb to the top. I have had the ability to climb trees since I was a child, I firmly grasped the trunk of the tree and climbed up slowly, I climbed very carefully and slowly, I told myself that I still had time, but I must not make any mistakes.

I finally climbed to the top of the tree, and through the lush leaves, I saw the shaft that was open to the outside world, and I was very close. I mean, I was about five meters away from the shaft, and I realized that it was a chasm that I couldn't bridge. Seeing that I was able to escape, but it was just the slightest deviation, it almost drove me crazy, and I yelled at the top of the tree, yelling at you, scolding the army, scolding everyone. I thought I was crazy, shaking the branch desperately, I made a stupid mistake, my hand slipped and I fell from the top of the tree, but luckily, a horizontal branch blocked my fall, cushioned the speed of the fall, I grabbed the branch and saved my life.

"Don't touch Lao Tzu's tree!"

I heard someone shouting from below, a very old-fashioned voice, I understand, a mistaken description, but I can be sure that it came from the throat of a very old man.

I looked down and saw that there was no one where the sound was coming from. I started to feel scared, I was too young to believe that there were demons and monsters in this world. It's ridiculous to say now, but I was really scared silly back then.

"Who are you?"

I shouted into the air, and my echo echoed from the dome cavern, echoing in my ears for a long time. I climbed down the branches, slipped down the main trunk, and looked around, but found no sign of anyone. It was a very large space, and in the darkness I couldn't see anything clearly, and I heard the sound of the water stirring, echoing in the distance. I turned pale with fright and asked again, but at this time, behind me, two white arms suddenly stretched out and pushed me to the ground at once. I wanted to break free and twist my body constantly, but the strength of my hand was beyond my ability at the time, and I was so firmly held that I couldn't even twist my head.

"You won't want to see me."

The old voice was saying, "It's going to scare you to death, boy! ”

With a pair of strong knees on my back, he asked me where I was from and asked my name. I told him one by one, I told him the truth, I didn't dare to tell a half-lie, I couldn't figure out what this man would do to me, but I could feel that he was impatient, and besides, he didn't seem to care about my life or death.

After I told him where it had come from, he suddenly laughed, and laughed so horribly that he finally let go of me, and there he said:

"This tree is too short for you to escape from, you have to wait until it grows tall enough to grab the shaft at the top of the cave and climb out from there."

The voice continued to mutter, "I've been waiting for more than forty years, I'm very old, it seems impossible to get out alive, you want to escape?" Then you can wait here for more than ten years with peace of mind, take good care of this rare tree, and when it grows tall enough, you can rely on it to escape. ”

I was amazed that this tree had grown in the cave for over forty years, which was nothing short of a miracle, and in the shadowy cave, it grew at a surprisingly fast rate.

"I can shout!" I said, "Somebody will pass through the hole up there, and someone who passes by will save me!" ”

The man sneered, and scolded in a tone full of mockery:

"Little bastard, do you know where that hole leads outside? That kind of place, the living will never go! ”

I got up from the ground and saw a monster standing in front of me with its back bent. The man's hair was almost gone, only a few locks hung on his scalp, two bulging eyes glaring at me viciously, only a few black teeth in his slightly grinning mouth, and a heavy fishy smell sprayed on my face. He was naked, every rib of his thin body was clearly visible, his deformed fingers and even his nails had fallen off, and he was black, his face was covered with old wrinkles, and his mouth was sunken inwards along the lines. I swear, it's the most terrifying image I've ever seen in my life, and the man in front of me is a deformed freak.

"Don't be afraid," the monster gave me a sinister grin, "I won't eat you, as long as you don't me off." How many years, how many years have I not seen a living person, and for more than forty years, all I have been accompanied by the ghosts in this cave...... Living here will consume more food, but I can teach you how to catch fish, hunt rats and some bats, and if you're lucky, you can eat a few snakes, but don't be complacent, there's no fire here, everything is eaten alive. I rely on bugs for nutrition, and when it's hot outside, there are always some bugs on this tree......"

"Who are you?"

I asked him tremblingly, but the weirdo didn't answer me and beckoned to me.

"Come on......" he said as he walked, "come with me, I'll show you around our bedroom first, hehe!" ”

His laughter was very short, like the weird laughter of someone who can't laugh, and it sounded creepy to me. I didn't dare to get too close to him, let alone go against his will, so I could only follow him obediently.

We walked a little deeper into the cave, and not far from the big tree, in a groove in the cave wall, was filled with withered leaves, like an animal nest.

"If you don't want to sleep with me, hehe," he said to me, pointing to the nest made of dead leaves, "then you'll have to wait until autumn until the leaves wither and fall before you can make a nest again." Hey! There's nothing in this cave but stones, so you can only squeeze with me, hehe......"

He turned his face to me with a meaningful, sinister smile.
