The man in the cave

In the darkness, I followed the only red light in that direction.

The walls of the ground were damp and cold, a tunnel full of dead silence and rancid stench, and I did not know where to lead, and there was no way back.

The red light was right in front of me, and I could see that it was coming from a fishy five-colored flower, blooming on the stone wall at the end of the passage, and inside, there was a gloomy cave.

A yellowish light from nowhere, the only light in the cave, and by the light I saw a man huddled under the rock wall, his hands and feet heavily shackled.

Who is he, and why is he imprisoned here?

I saw that his clothes were in tatters, and between the strips of cloth on his chest, I could see several deep scabbed wounds like ravines, either blue or purple.

The back of the hand is also full of scars, but unexpectedly, the fingers are very slender and white, even if they are now skinny, and even the phalanges at the joints seem to be exposed, but it gives people a sense of elegance and nobility.

In this way, I have a kind of curiosity to spy on the master, what can I grow with such beautiful hands?

So, I bent down and tilted my head, and he turned his face sideways, his head hanging, and there was no light from this angle, so I couldn't see his appearance.

Curiosity kills cats!

I always keep this rule of life in mind.

I straightened up again and took a few steps back, I don't know if this person is dead or alive, but it is more likely to die.

As I thought so, he moved as if he had smelled the smell of life, and I heard his heavy, painful gasps, and then his head gradually lifted up, revealing only a pair of breathtaking eyes.

......

We looked at each other, and I was a little obsessed, and what fascinated me was his eyes, beautiful and pure purple eyes.

But he suddenly jumped up like an electric shock and threw himself at me, but his hands and feet were cuffed, and he could only fall to his knees when he pounced in front of me, but he used his stiff fingers to choke my ankles.

I was already sitting on the ground in horror, and I kept moving back......

In my eyes, I only felt that the person in front of me, who was covered in tatters and crawling, and whose eyes were full of mixed flavors, mixed with joys and sorrows, was as bloodthirsty as a wolf.

His eyes were strange, showing reluctance to regret the loss, but they seemed to shine brightly, and I could read that it was the pleasure of seeing all hope in despair.

The man's Adam's apple kept moving, but I didn't hear anything.

I wasn't afraid, I leaned in, but I still didn't hear a single word from him, and this time, he opened his mouth clearly.

"You can't speak?"

He shook his head and grabbed my ankle anxiously, trying to get me closer.

Although the person in front of me did not make me feel malice, I was still wary, and I did not want to get any closer.

He was even more anxious, and when he saw that he couldn't pull me, he desperately came to me, and the chains rattled again and again, and I followed the sound to see that his ankles had been swollen by the heavy chains, and there was blood, and the blood gushed out even more.

I frowned, "What do you want to tell me?"

In the midst of the whimper, I could only get close to him, and this time he had a chance to go forward, and he pounced on me and hugged me tightly!

I smelled a strong smell of blood, faintly, and a faint fragrance.

He hugged me as hard as he could, as if trying to merge me together, and his wheezing intensified.

It seemed to be telling me something, but I didn't understand it at all.

I couldn't help but see a living person, so I didn't push him away and let him hold me without leaving a gap.

When he let me go, I still looked strange, and as if he suddenly realized something, he combed the fluffy hair that covered his face, and finally turned his body to the opposite side of the light, and then kept shaking my hand again.

I understood this time, he wanted me to see him clearly.

Why was he so anxious for me to see him as he was?

As soon as I had this thought, I hurriedly knelt to one side.

In the faint light, I saw that there were a few obvious scars on his face, but they could not hide his original delicate appearance, and I looked at what kind of immortal-like figure he would be if those few scars were removed

I sighed, and I thought, why am I here?

He shook my hand again, pointed to his face again, and closed his mouth as he tried to tell me something.

I wondered, "Do you want to get out, but how do you get out? Where is this?"

He shook his head hurriedly, pointing to his face urgently, his fingers rubbing against the back of my hand, and I realized that he was writing on the back of my hand.

I looked down and watched him stroke by stroke, a lot of strokes, it should be two words, and he wrote it over and over again.

Eventually, I read two words.

'Shen-Yu-'

......

"Shen Yu, is that your name?"

He didn't have the excitement I had expected to say these two words, but on the contrary, he was lost.

His eyes are beautiful, they should be the most beautiful I have ever seen.

At this moment, there were tears in his eyes, and his purple eyes became sparkling.

I was stunned, what's wrong with him.

"Have you been here for a long time, I don't know where this is, but if I have a chance to get out, I'll get you out too......" I said the last few words, flutteringly, for I was overwhelmed by the sight of the shackles on his hands and feet.

I don't know how to open it, I can't do this first step, let alone escape from here.

He didn't seem to listen to me, just kept looking at me, raised his heavy shackled hand, and stroked my cheek little by little.

The palm was a little rough, but it was exceptionally warm, and I looked at him puzzled.

Then, he slowly approached me, held my hands, I lowered my head, and a purple light rushed from his palm to mine, and the faint purple light shone in the cave, saying that his face was very white.

In a trance, the purple light continued to go up along my arm, and in my brain, fragments of white light began to appear, and it was the face of the man in front of me who shuttled very quickly.

Unscarred, dressed in a clean white shirt, he walked down the stairs from an old villa nobly and gracefully, smiling at me, as brilliant as the sun in March.

......

But it was only for a moment, and it was like passing through my eyes.

Next, the man began to cough violently, the purple light in his hand disappeared immediately, and he clutched his chest unbearably, still holding on to my hand with one hand, and looked at me while coughing.

The constant coughing made his brows tighten, and the whole person began to tremble, and his hand holding me tightened as his cough intensified, and I felt uneasy, his purple eyes stared at me, flushed with bloodshots, and his already white face became more and more pale, and he coughed out of breath, and could only inhale in large gulps.

I knelt down and patted him on the back to relieve his symptoms, and he took my hand and put it on his chest to regulate his breath.

After a while, fortunately, it wasn't as good as before.

He leaned limply on me, holding my hand, and rubbing against the back of my hand.

'Don't you remember me'

I meditated in my heart.

What this means is that he knows me, and I should know him, but I have no memory other than the appearance of him in my head without warning just now, and this sudden memory is also after he performed some magic, and I speculate that he did not stop coughing after using the method, so it must not stop.

"Do you know me? But I can't remember, could it be that you also met me in the future?"

Before, but the man named Mu Fan kept telling me that he took me back in time.

When Shen Yu heard what I said, he hurriedly spread out my palm and stroked 'What happened'

I shrugged, "I don't know the exact cause and effect, but I met some people, one of them named Mu Fan, who told me that it took me back in time."
