After the lights on the giant ship went out, there was a darkness around us, and the bonfires that had no open flames around us were bright and dark in the breeze, like a ghost fire, which made the surroundings even more eerie.

Lu Dachuan and I turned on the flashlight almost at the same time, and shone it on the shore, and what caught our eyes was also a long and narrow stone beach protruding from the mountain, if it weren't for the fact that there was no trace of the "alarm" wall on it, nor the stone gate that we blew out of a hole, we would have thought that the giant ship did not cross the big crack, but turned around in the whirlpool and sailed back to the place where we boarded the boat.

The two of us swept back and forth on the river bank with flashlights a few times, and finally stopped at a narrow crack in the rock wall at the root of the mountain. Due to the distance and lack of flashlight, I could only see a crack three or four meters high in the mountain, but I couldn't see what was going on inside the crack at all.

Lu Dachuan turned off the flashlight in his hand and said to Liu Changleg beside him, "Turn on the headlights." ”

Liu Changleg turned on the high-power lighting and shone it on the cracks in the mountain. Lu Dachuan took out the telescope and looked inside. A minute or two later, I asked him, "What's in there?" ”

Lu Dachuan handed me the binoculars: "There seems to be a big statue of a human face." ”

"Human face?!" I chuckled in my heart, took the telescope and looked at it, a huge human face was instantly pulled in front of my eyes in the telescope, although Lu Dachuan had already told me, but I was still startled, because the statue of the human face was erected three or four meters deep in the crack, the size is almost equal to the height and width of the crack (it is also possible that the crack is three or four meters deep, and the statue is carved from the entire back wall of the crack). The nose is high and wide, the two angular vertical eyeballs in the narrow eye sockets are high and protruding, the round open mouth is like a big black hole, and the most terrifying thing is that its chin is tilted forward, but the forehead is very low, making the whole face look like a person who has been buried in the earth from the neck down, and before he dies, he tilts his head and stares at the sky and makes a final cry......

Maybe I looked too closely, and I couldn't help but tremble after putting down the binoculars for a while.

After Liu Changleg looked at it, Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er hurriedly glanced at it, and the telescope returned to Lu Dachuan's hand. He raised it and looked at it for a while, and said, "Go down and take a look, the more I look at it, the more I think it's strange that mouth is so wide open." ”

I took the headlamp in Liu Changshan's hand and shone it on the mountain wall around the stone beach, just like the stone beach we walked out of the ruins, with water below, and cliffs above and on the left and right: "It's not good to go down!" If the boat had gone, we would have been stranded on this beach. ”

"It won't be that fast, will it? Go down and take a look and come back......"

I glanced at the dark cabin: "They don't greet us when they start and stop the boat, and if they just walk up to the sculpture and the boat leaves, we won't have time to run back." ”

"Zheng Shuang is right," Liu Changleg said, "until we are sure that we have found a way out, we should not leave this ship." ”

Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er also followed suit, although Lu Dachuan was unwilling, he had to give up the idea of landing.

We went back to the fire and sat down, and added some firewood to the fire, which was almost to ashes, and within three minutes of the fire was lit, the ship whistled twice and then pulled out the anchor and set sail.

After the lights of the dark cabin were turned on, there were still figures inside. By this time, however, I had lost my fear of them, and I was more curious about what was controlling the ship, and why it had stopped for a while on a rocky beach.

For the next few days (after entering the cave where the ancestors of the big-headed dwarfs lived, and walking upside down, we had no accurate time, and there was no sunrise and sunset in the Dark River, so time had to rely entirely on the biological clock. The days passed without panic, we slept every day except fishing, eating, and sleeping, which was extremely boring, but the body was completely relieved, and the injuries on the body were basically healed.

However, just when we thought that life would go on like this forever, we ran into big trouble.

At this time, it should be one morning, we woke up and hung water from the river with the rotten bucket that Lu Dachuan brought from the boat room to wash, and prepared to roast and eat the leftover fish caught the day before, but the firewood was burned out. Lu Dachuan said that he went to the ship's room to get it. I'm afraid he'll have some accident and I'm going to go with him. Liu Changleg said that he could also get more once he went, so that he would not always run to the boat room with fear.

If the three of us and the men left, there would be only two women left on the deck, Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er, and they were afraid to stay, which led to the fact that all five of us had to go.

We've been on the boat for days, and although we can always see those figures, they only came out once when the crab climbed onto the boat, and the other times they didn't hurt us, and they didn't even scare us once. So Lu Dachuan didn't think too much about it, so he said let's go together, I only picked up some small pieces of wood when I went in alone last time, if we go together, there are many people, and there is a lot of strength, try to get some tables, chairs, benches and other things out of the burn-resistant.

So the five of us walked through the empty deck into the corridor of the first deck, which was flanked by two door-to-door rooms. We opened one of them when we first got on the boat, and knowing that most of it was rotten beyond recognition, we kept going inside until we turned a corner, and the rotten and unsightly walls on either side disappeared, and a larger room stood in front of us.

With lights on everywhere in the ship's interior, we could tell at a glance that the large room we walked into was a bar, the size of a three-bedroom apartment. On the innermost wall on the left side of the room is a wine rack about three meters long, almost up to the ceiling of the room, on which are slender, oblate, and other wine bottles, which have been covered with dust so that it is impossible to tell whether the wine bottles are empty or full; In front of the wine rack was a large bar that was almost half the length of the room, and the wine glasses, bottles, trays, and other things on it were also a mess, covered in a thick layer of dust, and only a shape could be seen.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with us, but I guess I saw them with a big eye when I entered the room, and we were interested in the simple single sofas that made the whole room messy, and the round coffee tables that rolled everywhere.

No, when I looked around the room, Lu Dachuan had already moved his hand, like a dog that was crazy and biting things, he grabbed a sofa and removed a few pieces of cloth wrapped in sponges and springs that had lost its elasticity on the backrest and seat cushions, or leather, and ignored the dust that spread everywhere, and kicked his hands and feet with a belt, and in a few clicks, a sofa shelf turned into a pile of firewood, and then went to take down another one, and said in his mouth: "Hurry up, I asked you to come here to work, It's not for you to travel. ”

Liu Changleg and I immediately joined the battle, and used all the strength of the uncomfortable arm in the past few days to deal with the table and chair in front of us. Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er were no longer standing, and they sorted the wooden boards and strips we removed according to their length and thickness, and stacked them neatly.

It didn't take much time, the tables and chairs in the bar room had been almost dismantled by us, and the dust in the room was so high that the light wheels on the headlamps were covered by a layer of twilight, making us seriously breathless, and there was still some itching in our noses, but looking at the piles of firewood that were getting bigger and bigger, so that we could burn for half a month and twenty days without saving burning, I still felt very energetic.

Seeing that there were still a few chairs left, Lin Xian'er and Lu Keqin stopped and bit their ears and didn't know what they were saying, the two of them stood up and ran out holding hands.

What are they going to do? I felt inexplicable, and my thoughts flashed. Lu Dachuan had already scolded: "What are you going to do? ”

They were standing at the door of the room, their faces strange. Lu Keqin snorted: "We have something special to do. ”

"Alas......" Lu Dachuan sighed and pointed to the bar, "You women are really troublesome." Go there, you two go out and blame the danger. ”

Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er looked at us hesitantly.

Lu Dachuan said: "Come on, let's all turn around." ”

The two of them held hands and ran to the bar. Liu Changleg turned around very consciously, and his face was facing the door. I wondered to myself what special thing they were going to do to make it mysterious, for for for for the last few days on deck we had only been hiding behind the tents, and the two women had used a small basin, and the three of us men were facing the river. At first, I felt a little embarrassed when I heard the clear sound of running water when they "shhh In other words, there are no more secrets between us that make people feel embarrassed. --I couldn't help but be curious, and I turned my neck to stare at the two of them running towards the bar.

Lu Dachuan, who had already turned around, suddenly turned his head and gave me a head to scold: "Turn around, you don't understand!" ”

Being "bullied" by Lu Dachuan every day, I lost my temper anymore, touched my head and asked, "What special things do they want to do?" ”

"Don't ask, little kid!" Lu Dachuan gave me a sentence, and then dismantled the chair.

I was even more curious, why Lu Dachuan knew what was going on as soon as Lu Keqin said something special, looking at Liu Changshan's reaction, he also knew, as far as I was stupid and didn't understand, I pricked up my ears and concentrated on listening to Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er behind the bar (it's not that I'm obscene, I'm too curious. I vaguely heard Lin Xian'er say in a very small voice, "It's good to bring sanitary napkins with you, otherwise it will be too embarrassing." It dawned on me that her aunt was here......

Women have been for a few days, and when I realized it, I didn't think much about it, except that I couldn't even react to it, and I asked Lu Dachuan about it, which was a little stupid, and I didn't think much about it, and then buried myself in work. After they came out, we carried a bundle of firewood to our tent on the deck.

Because the corridor was too narrow, we couldn't take it every time, so the two piles of firewood and five people didn't finish moving it three times. On the fourth trip, Lu Dachuan said that he had eaten dry every day for the past few days, and he suddenly wanted to drink some fish soup, anyway, there was not much left of Chai He, so I didn't have to go with Lu Keqin, and Lin Xian'er, so I lit the fire when I took a breath, boiled some hot water to wash my hair and face, and stewed the soup.

Although I am stupid, I still understand some common sense things, and I know that Lu Dachuan is taking care of Lin Xian'er, so I agreed that he and Liu Changjiao would go to get firewood, and the three of us would stay and cook.

Seeing that Lu Dachuan, who was so careful, was distressed about women, I naturally didn't dare to behave too badly in front of Lu Keqin, so I took care of almost all the work by myself, and I called Lu Keqin to help if I couldn't cook fish soup.

Lu Keqin taught me how to do it while counting people as big as me, and I couldn't even make fish soup. After we put all the ingredients on hand, she remembered that we could cook a bowl of ginger soup to drink in case of a cold or flu, and the dried ginger we had brought, so she asked me to go to the tent and backpack to find it.

When I entered the tent, Lin Xian'er was coming out of the tent, I saw that her eyes were a little dull, thinking that she was tired from work, so I didn't think much about it, but I didn't expect that I walked to the place where I put my backpack, and I heard Lu Keqin shouting Lin Xian'er's name loudly outside and calling my name loudly.

I heard that her voice was wrong, turned my head and ran out, seeing Lu Keqin's eyes staring in the direction of the cabin with horror, I followed her gaze, and couldn't help but be frightened, because I saw Lin Xian'er running in the direction of the cabin at an alarming speed......
