After turning a small hill, there is no longer a small yellow village. Under a cliff full of greenery, He Jie pulled open the vines, and a black hole came into view.

Everyone was happy and afraid, looking at the black hole, no one dared to go in first.

He Jie smiled and said, "What? Didn't you say you were here to explore? Why didn't you dare to go in? ”

Cao Jianwei snorted: "Who is afraid?" I was thinking about what to do before I got into the cave. Flashlights, dry food, mineral water, knives, we all seem to have brought with us. Shouldn't it be bad, right? Students, what are you waiting for? Let's explore the Seven Star Cave together! ”

He Jie said: "Slow! Everyone looked back at He Jie.

I only heard He Jie say slowly: "This Seven Star Cave was discovered by accident, and the name was also given by me." The early autumn in our mountainous area is hot during the day and cold at night. Now in the sun, we all feel dead hot, but it's cool in this hole. The students didn't bring warm clothes, so they rushed into the cave, if it was too cold, what should they do? Also, I'm afraid you don't have a place to charge the flashlight along the way, right? ”

Cao Jianwei said suspiciously: "He Jie, is this hole very deep?" Although we don't have much power left, we can go in and watch it for a while, right? ”

He Jie shook his head and said, "I don't know how deep this hole is. After the last time I stumbled upon it, I didn't dare to go in alone. I felt a chill just at the entrance of the cave, so I guessed it would be deep. Let's be prepared! ”

He stooped down and picked up a twig and said, "You see, there are a lot of dead branches here. Why don't we each take one and light it as a torch. First, it can be lit in the cave to save flashlight, and second, it can also resist the cold air in the cave. What do you think? ”

Another female classmate, Shao Lixia, said with a smile: "He Jie, you are the master here, and we follow the customs." You're much more experienced in the mountains than we are. Okay, we'll all listen to you. ”

Shao Lixia bent down and picked up a dead branch, and several other classmates also picked one each.

He Jie picked up a bunch of dead leaves and asked Cao Jianwei for a lighter, and after lighting it, everyone put the dead branches in the fire and lit them.

Cao Jianwei was the first to step into the cave, and the fire branch in his hand shone into the cave, and said in surprise: "Come in, this cave seems to have traces of human life!" ”

Curious, everyone hurriedly swarmed into the cave. As soon as I entered, I saw an earthen stove on the ground reflected in the firelight, and there were stone marks on the cave wall.

Surprised, Cao Jianwei said: "This cave was inhabited a long time ago, did we find a human prehistoric ruin?" ”

Zhang Ling smiled: "You are stinky and beautiful, how can you be so lucky!" Maybe it's a family in this little yellow village that didn't have a house before, or was destroyed by natural disasters, and temporarily lived in this cave! ”

Shao Lixia said: "Yes, I think Zhang Ling is reasonable. Since this cave has been inhabited by people, I don't think this cave is very deep. Cao Jianwei, you hurry up and take a look inside, if there is nothing scary, you can call us in again. ”

Cao Jianwei deliberately said with a bitter face: "Alas! Playing with beautiful girls, count me hard. Well, I'll be a daredevil, let's go first. The Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? ”

Cao Jianwei held the fire branch and walked towards the cave. It wasn't long before I heard a scream of 'ah' coming from inside the cave.

This sound was not tight, and the five people outside were so frightened that their faces turned white. Zhang Ling said in a trembling voice: "Cao Jianwei, what happened?" Don't scare us! ”

There was a deathly silence in the cave, Shao Lixia couldn't help it, and shouted nervously: "He can't meet any monsters, right?" I'm so scared, let's get out! ”

Zhou Kejun and Li Jianfeng looked at each other, and they both saw the panic in their hearts from each other's faces. Zhou Kejun called Cao Jianwei a few times calmly, but no one answered.

He was very frightened, and said to He Jie: "He Jie, will there really be any monsters in this mountain?" Or are there ghosts? ”

As soon as these words came out, the two girls screamed in fright. He Jie's face was also cloudy, and he said hesitantly: "Although there are wolves in our mountains, we have never seen them at the edge of the village. It stands to reason that it's not right, if there is a wolf in the cave, how can it be that Cao Jianwei only barked and then lost his voice? ”

They were about to flee the cave when they heard laughter from inside the cave, and the echo tickled everyone's ears.

I only heard Cao Jianwei laugh and said, "Students, come in." I just teased you, this cave is not deep, I am already there. ”

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, curse Cao Jianwei one after another, and rushed into the cave with a grin.

After only about twenty or thirty meters of advancement, my eyes suddenly opened up. The cave is only so deep that it looks like a hall, about fifty-six square meters in size.

Everyone was curious to see that at the innermost end of the cave, there was something like a stone bed. There is also a large stone pot in the center, and there seems to be a painting carved on the wall of the cave.

The crowd shone their torches against the cave wall, and after looking at them carefully, they couldn't help but exclaim. It turned out that there were many very strange figures carved on the wall of the cave, although it was covered with a layer of gray, but it could also be seen that the petroglyphs were colorful.

Shao Lixia carefully wiped the dust on the petroglyphs with her hands, but unexpectedly, a piece of color immediately fell off.

Cao Jianwei exclaimed, "Lixia, don't move. Maybe these petroglyphs are cultural relics, don't destroy them. ”

Zhou Kejun suddenly said: "Huh! Look, what's that thing on that stone bed? ”

All at once everyone gathered around the stone bed, and to their surprise, there were three black clay pots on the stone.

Who lived in this cave? Who left the petroglyphs and the stone beds and the three clay pots and the stone pot? All this stimulated everyone's strong curiosity.

Shao Lixia looked at it in a daze for a long time, and asked softly, "Do you think this place looks like a sacrificial place?" ”

As soon as she was reminded, everyone suddenly became excited.

That's right, this should be a place of sacrifice. Although I don't know what age and who built it, but looking at the content of the rock paintings, it is estimated that it must be at least before the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Seeing that it was recognized by everyone, Shao Lixia said quite proudly: "Those petroglyphs should be the gods sacrificed to the owner of this cave." The large stone cauldron in the center may have been the place where they burned paper during their sacrifices. And this stone bed is obviously an offering table, and the three clay pot-like things on it may be what they worshipped. ”
