Lantern Xiao looked up and spat fiercely, "Okay!" After saying that, Lantern Xiao took a few steps back, then suddenly accelerated, and then stepped on the coffin standing on the cave wall, I obviously saw the coffin board bent down, and at the same time, the cracking sound of "click" came. Fortunately, there are still a few planks that can hold up.

Lantern Xiao ran to the top and jumped hard, and I also tried my best to stretch my legs down to match Lantern Festival. Seeing that Lantern Xiao's hand had already grabbed my leg, but I didn't expect him to slip, only to hear a "snort", half of my trouser leg was pulled off by Lantern Xiao, and Lantern Xiao himself fell down again.

Fortunately, this Lantern Festival landed smoothly, and he was very annoyed, slapped his thigh heavily, and then squatted on the ground, panting heavily. I continued to encourage him above, "Lantern Festival, if you try again, it's almost a little bit!" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly saw the outermost coffins behind Lantern Xiao suddenly move a few times, I was shocked, and immediately shouted, "Lantern Festival, hurry!" Fast! That wart newt has arrived! ”

As soon as Lantern Xiao turned around, he immediately saw two blood-red eyes in the dark, and then a dark red mouth poked out of the darkness. By this time, my heart was already in my throat.

Lantern Xiao also scolded, jumped up and ran to the coffin standing on the wall of the cave. And the wart newt behind him also moved, and quickly chased after him.

Lantern Xiao ran onto the coffin with one force. But I didn't expect that the newt behind me was not slow at all, and in the blink of an eye, it also climbed up. Seeing that the wart newt behind was about to catch up with the Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival roared and jumped up hard, maybe it was really anxious, this time the Lantern Festival jumped much higher than just now, and hugged my calf at once.

At the same time, the newt also jumped, probably because its body was too much out of the norm, and its ability to bounce became very weak, so it had to pounce and fall to the ground.

The entire weight of Lantern Festival was added to my legs, and I was dropped by him, and I fell down a lot in an instant, and my hand couldn't hold it at all. Fortunately, I had wrapped the rattan around my arm beforehand, and just like that, my arm suddenly pulled and almost dislocated. I just in time to put my other hand on the rattan, and I was able to hold it up.

The sharp pain in my left hand came again, and my aching head was dizzy, and I clenched my teeth, almost crushing them.

Lantern Xiao grabbed my leg and asked, "Zhuo Ran, can you hold it?" ”

My face was flushed, and I barely managed to squeeze out a few words, "Hurry up!" I'm going to die! ”

Lantern Xiao grabbed my belt, then kicked one foot against the wall, and with the other hand, grabbed a rattan next to me. As soon as the Lantern Festival left me, I instantly felt that the whole world was relaxed! Even gasping for breath is so pleasant!

Lantern Xiao patted me on the side, "Thanks to you!" ”

I waved my hand, "Don't, thanks to you, thanks to you I've grown up, I must have been stretched by you!" ”

Lantern Xiao looked down at us, "Where's that wart newt?" It's so scary, this animal that eats dead meat is really not normal! ”

I said, "Forget it, let's think about what to do." I shook my flashlight and looked around, but the flashlight was running out of energy, and the light was very dim.

As I shook it, I could vaguely see that there was a recessed platform on our left, and although I couldn't see it clearly, I wasn't sure, but at this time, we felt like we should at least go over and have a look.

Fortunately, there are more vines and tree roots in this location, and the two of us are like rock climbing, little by little closer to the position we just saw.

As we got closer, I realized that I was not mistaken, there was a platform that had been sunken in, and the platform was at the end of here, and there was still a long way to go, and below the platform was the group of coffins, which I suspected was used for some kind of ritual.

We carefully climbed to the top of the platform, grabbed the rattan and jumped in with a gentle swing.

As soon as Lantern Xiao and I landed on our feet, we looked around a little and made sure that there was no danger, and then we all fell to the ground at once.

Lan Xiao lay on the ground and took out a bottle of water from her bag, poured it into her mouth, and was immediately choked and coughed, and it took a while to calm down, "Uncle's!" I thought this visit would be like a sightseeing trip, but I didn't expect it to be a serious fight! As he spoke, he sighed, "Life is like an ancient tomb buried in the ground, you only know what kind of fuck you will encounter until you dig it out!" ”

I smiled, "Is that what this sentence says, you are plagiarizing Forrest Gump, do you know, you beware of Tom Hanks suing you!" ”

We lay on the ground and rested for a while before we sat up.

We walked along the platform, and we didn't get far before we found a hole in the wall of the cave on one side. I discussed it with Lantern Xiao for a while, and then I turned on my flashlight and walked in.

To be honest, there is almost no difference between having and not having a flashlight now, and Lantern Festival has to turn on a lighter.

The hole was small, much smaller than the one we had entered, and much rougher than the walls.

Lantern Xiao held a lighter, leaned in front of the cave wall to take a look, and couldn't help but say "huh".

I asked him what he had found. Lantern Xiao pointed to the cave wall and said, "It seems that this place has been blasted out." ”

I also stepped forward to touch it, but I didn't see anything, I asked Lantern Xiao: "Are you sure?" Lantern Xiao nodded very seriously.

We continued some distance further and found that the passage ahead had made a ninety degree turn and went straight up. In this place, layers of soil have appeared.

The cave has also changed from the original stone cave to a soil cave, I reached out and touched the wall of the cave, and immediately knew in my heart, turned my head to Lantern Xiao and said: "This is a thief hole!" ”

Lantern Xiao also came over to take a look and said, "It seems that your second uncle came in and out of here at the beginning." ”

I nodded, finally feeling a little more relaxed, "In this case, the top should be the one leading to the exit, let's go!" ”

There were a lot of footholds dug in the wall of the robbery hole, which made it much easier for us to climb up, and the robbery cave went through several turns, and finally became horizontal and horizontal.

At the end of the cave, we saw a glimmer of light, which made us very excited, and we tried our best to crawl forward. The moment we poked our heads out of the hole, we were stunned.

We initially noticed that we seemed to be entering another hole, but I took a closer look at the hole and made sure it wasn't a hole, it was a well. The hole we just came out of was dug in the wall of the well. There is still some standing water at the bottom of the well.

We looked up and saw a dappled glow from the wellhead, as if something was covering the wellhead. A rope hung down from it and was sticking to the wall of the well.

I grabbed the rope and climbed to the mouth of the well, pushed away the planks and branches that covered it, and drilled out.

Coming back to the ground again puts me in a good mood. But I found myself in a ruined place.

At this time, Lantern Xiao also came out of the well, "What kind of place is this?" ”

I shook my head, saying I didn't know. We looked around, and in a house that had largely collapsed, I found a broken stone table, and near the table, I found a slate. The stone slab is engraved with four words: Land Fortune.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I looked at this stone slab, and Lantern Xiao saw me standing here stunned, so she came over and asked, "If we still go to find the Land Temple, if we don't look for it, we won't be able to go down the mountain before dark." ”

I shook my head and said to Lantern Xiao: "No need to look for it, this is it!" ”

"Here?" Lantern Xiao asked with some surprise. I pointed to the stone slab on the ground, "Generally, the land lord enshrined is more down-to-earth, so everyone will think that he is more cordial, so in addition to calling the land lord, there are many other titles, such as the Hakka people will call the land lord uncle." In many places, the Lord of the Land is also called the Lord of the Land, so if there is no statue of the god in the Land Temple, people will use a stone tablet to engrave the four characters of the land in the shrine to worship. ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, "I didn't expect to finish what I had to do in a daze!" ”

"yes," I sighed, "I didn't expect us to have a reverse crossing." ”

I remember that before entering the mountain, the old man I met on the side of the road once told us that there should be a tall dove tree around the land temple, and I looked around and found it not far away. It was really a very tall dove tree, and the breeze blew and the leaves rustled, as if to say something. It should have been here for many years, and it must have seen a lot of things that we didn't see, but we didn't understand what it said.

A little farther away from the land temple, there seem to be some traces of construction, and in some places you can still see some half-beaten foundations, where there is a somewhat crooked sign, on which a number "5" can be vaguely recognized. I remembered the photo I saw in the second uncle's office with my brother Pi, which should have been taken here.

Now it seems that the project has long been shelved, and the construction site has long been abandoned.

At this time, the time was close to noon, and the noon sun was still very warm, so I sat with Lantern Festival under the dove tree. Neither of us spoke, and although this experience also brought me a lot of questions, it also gave me some enlightenment, like some lines, connecting some previous discoveries, even if I still haven't found the answer to the question, but at least I know where a lot of things are pointed.

After a while, Lantern Xiao suddenly spoke: "Zhuo Ran, I'm thinking about a question. ”

I asked curiously, "What's the problem?" ”

Lantern Xiao turned to look at me and said, "The reason why your second uncle arranged for you to come here is to leave you these clues, let you find here, and then take the things in this underground stone box." ”
