But if we use this way to go down to the bottom of the cliff, it is really difficult for us, because whether it is Wang Xingdong or the old medicine farmer, they are all medicine collectors and have perennial cliff climbing experience, especially the old medicine farmer, who is a genius of cliff climbing.

And those of us, except for Xiao Lei, I'm afraid that the cliff climbing is not very good, although when we entered the valley before, we also climbed the rock wall with the help of ropes, but the rock wall of the valley, no matter the height or danger, can not be compared with this cliff.

What's even more terrifying is that on this cliff, the rope will break strangely at any time, which is really terrible, and from Wang Xingguang to the old medicine farmer, although they have successfully collected Ganoderma lucidum, they have not been able to solve the mystery of the rope breakage.

We can only rely on ropes to climb rocks, so if we follow the methods of Wang Xingdong and Lao Yaonong, it will be too dangerous for us.

But other than that, how do you get into that spiraling cave?

Just when everyone was at a loss, my cousin seemed to think of something, raised his eyebrows, and said with some excitement: "Have you ever thought about it—the cave you entered last night has anything to do with the spiral cave?" ”

When he reminded us of this, our hearts moved—yes, the two caves are connected to the cliffs, and both have openings leading to the cliffs, will there be a connection? If the two caves are connected, we can go directly through the entrance of the stump, and there is no need to climb the rock.

My cousin always came up with a clever plan for us at critical moments.

Crazy Six also nodded, and said approvingly: "Researcher Wang is right, I also vaguely feel that the two caves are connected, but I was too tired last night, and I only barely searched once, except for seeing a hole behind the stone gate, I didn't find anything, in addition, I think that the 'toad man' that Wang Xingguang and the old medicine farmer said should be what we call 'amphibious man', I always feel that behind all the strange things we encountered, there is some kind of common connection, but as for what this common connection is, I can't say it now." ”

In this way, an afternoon passed in our discussions, although we could not take concrete action, but for the next step, we finally have a little eyebrows, especially my cousin's geologist friend, this time can help us a lot, without the information he provided, we really don't know what to do next.

Those Japanese felt that time was pressing, and they were afraid of long nights and dreams, and wanted to act at night, but his cousin disagreed, he felt that it was more dangerous to act at night, because according to the description of the old medicine farmer, there were amphibious people on this cliff, and the cave was likely to be a place where amphibians frequented, and amphibious ** were all infested at night, so if you act at night, you are likely to encounter amphibians, which is too dangerous, which is also the reason why Wang Xingguang and the old medicine farmer chose to act during the day.

Once again, my cousin's opinion convinced all of us.

In order to relax, in the evening, a few Japanese specially ordered a sumptuous dinner, this hotel is worthy of the most upscale in our county, even the cooking skills are good, the dinner is delicious, so many days, we also rarely sit together for a meal.

After a few days of getting along, we and these Japanese people have gradually become acquainted, and even Tanaka, who has always been strict and silent, has become enthusiastic about us because the madman Six has cured his strange disease.

Everyone ate happily and chatted happily, but because there is action tomorrow, so they are not drunk, and when the banquet is dismissed, Xiao Lei also specially reminded everyone that although the blind man fell off the cliff and may have fallen to his death, but before seeing his body, he could not finally be determined to be dead; And the blind man is too weird and extraordinary, so we still have to be vigilant, take precautions, and still close the doors and windows when sleeping, and not take it too lightly.

There is no big mistake in being cautious, Xiao Lei's reminder is right.

When returning to their respective rooms, Hongmei stroked the messy hair in front of Xiaolei's forehead with pity and love, and the two looked at each other with a smile, which was very sweet and warm.

"What's the matter, seeing people kissing me so closely, are you jealous and jealous?" , Sister Li suddenly joked behind my back, I just turned around, Sister Li suddenly hugged me, kissed me lightly on the face, and whispered in my ear very gently: "Don't envy others, you have it too." ”

Her long, fragrant hair brushed my face and made me a little intoxicated. And her snow-white shirt and graceful figure wrapped in well-fitting jeans made me a little ape again.

"Hey, okay, there will be a chance in the future, go back early to rest, there are important actions tomorrow?" Hongmei said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Thinking about our days, the days of birth and death, day and night, I can't help but say with emotion: "If the blind man really lets us kill us, then we can live a normal life, and when the time comes, the two of us will hold a wedding together, and then go on a honeymoon together." ”

This beautiful vision of mine resonated with everyone, and we folded our four hands together, and said in unison: "A word is a certainty", and then sweetly hugged our beloved before returning to our respective rooms.

It was a good night's sleep and a sweet night.

The next day it was a sunny day, cloudless and sunny, which eased our nervousness a lot, and in this sunny day, the dark, mysterious, oppressive cave may no longer be as terrifying as it was in the middle of the night.

When I came to this cliff the night before, because it was in the middle of the night, I hurriedly followed the deformed amphibious man, so I walked very hard, but when I came to this side of the cliff in broad daylight, I found that it was not so difficult to walk, and I came easily.

But when we walked near the original pine tree, all of us were shocked by the scene in front of us:

When we went back the night before, we had pulled up a lot of vines to cover the stump, so that the conspicuous hole would not be exposed.

But for some reason, the stump disappeared, not only was the stump gone, but even the sawn down pine tree and the scattered vines were gone, and the ground was bare stones, and there was no trace of the pine tree at all. Hell, this sudden surprise stunned each of us.

The first to react was Xiao Lei, who identified the location, walked over slowly, and carefully searched for traces of the stump on the ground.

At this time, the ground here, exactly like the surroundings, was full of stones, and the huge pine tree disappeared completely, as if by magic.

Xiao Lei squatted down, lay on the ground, and checked the stone floor inch by inch, hoping to find clues, at this time we all surrounded us, followed Xiao Lei's example, and looked for it on the ground.

According to our speculation, there is only one possibility that this will happen, and that is that someone has cleared the stump and the broken branches and leaves all over the ground, and sealed the hole left in the ground by removing the stump with a stone.

But what's even more incredible is that we didn't find any cracks in the stone floor, which is really weird!

Did you misremember the location of the pine trees? We all looked around and were unanimous in our determination that the location was absolutely correct.

It is possible for one person to remember wrongly, and how can so many people remember wrongly? And the terrain on the edge of the cliff is not complicated, and each of us remembers it clearly, this is where the tree grows.

Standing in the bright sunshine, what happened in front of us made us a little confused, and what happened the night before suddenly seemed like a dream-like illusion.

When we all lay on the ground looking for a gap, only Crazy Six kept standing, he didn't look at the ground much, but kept observing his surroundings, his brows furrowed, as if he was nervously thinking about something.

He suddenly said, "Everyone get up, don't look for it yet, you will never find the location of the hole."

His voice was not loud, as if he were speaking to us, and as if he were talking to himself—could it be that the madman had discovered something? We were so excited that we all immediately stood up and looked at Maniac Six.

Only the two Japanese women, because they couldn't understand Chinese, still knelt on the ground, carefully looking for possible gaps, until the Japanese female translator said a few words to them, they stood up, and then, like us, stared at Crazy Six in amazement.

Maniac Six took out a packet of medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the ground, at this moment, the sunlight has become stronger and stronger, and the stone ground is also very hot, this kind of medicinal powder is baked on the stone ground, emitting a strange fragrance, we don't know what madman Six is doing, they all stand there, stunned and watch.

Soon we were amazed to see thousands of red ants crawling out of the grass beside us, the size of a broad bean -- smaller than the one that had brought us into the cave before, of course -- and already quite large compared to the average ant.

The red ants also crawl very quickly, each ant first climbs onto the end of the medicine, lays an egg the size of a grain of rice, and then crawls away very quickly. After a while, the eggs laid gathered together and were the size of rice balls.

Crazy Six picked up a few plastic bags scraped from nowhere from the bushes next to him, put them together, poured some water from a small stream not far away, and then asked Xiao Lei to use a branch to clamp those ant eggs and put them into the water.

Maniac Six carefully sprinkled the water in the plastic bag evenly on the ground, and when the water splashed on the stone floor, it made a sizzling sound.

After a while, on the otherwise smooth stone floor, an irregular red line appeared. Only then did Madman Six let out a sigh: "See, this red line is the location of the hole." ”
