Chapter 5: The Cave

The early morning at the end of October was a bit biting, the sun had not yet come out, and the whole Dayuan Village was a little cold, but soon this atmosphere was broken.

After the people of Dayuan Village went out, they wanted to see what had changed in this changed world, but they found that the overhead was not a blue sky, but branches and leaves that covered the sky, covering the entire sky. But they didn't panic too much, but there were no other bad things happening, so they settled down and walked towards the place where the ancient banyan tree was growing, wanting to see what was going on.

Father Lin and Mother Lin were also among them, originally Father Lin wanted to see it alone, but Mother Lin couldn't rest assured, and her youngest son Lin Yong was in good condition, so they came together.

Coming to the center of the village, this banyan tree was planted in the middle of the village. A lot of people have already come here, almost most of the people from the village. Seeing this centuries-old tree, I couldn't believe my eyes:

At the beginning, because of the thunderstorm, more than half of the main trunk was broken, and more than half of the branches were dead, but because the people in the village were very in awe of this ancient tree, not only thought that it was planted by their ancestors, but also that it had grown for so many years, the elderly people in the village were more superstitious, thinking that such a big tree was spiritual. Children are not allowed to climb up, and they will be scolded as long as they find it.

At this time, the dead branches regained their second spring, and grew leaves, no different from the others, but more verdant. The trunk of the ancient tree towers straight into the clouds, inserting into the clouds, obscuring the sky and the sun.

The intertwined branches stretched out like dragons, covering almost an entire village. The foliage is crystal clear. It must be like a sacred tree.

At this time, the Seven Princes were already under the ancient tree, and the wearers were neat, *solemn, and meticulously chanting words in their mouths:

"May the ancestors have spirits, the sacred tree blesses, bless Dayuan Village to survive the disaster, Dayuan Village also sincerely believes in you, may the divine tree bless! ”

After speaking, he knelt down, planted a few fragrant horses in front of the ancient tree, and bowed three times. When everyone saw that the Seven Princes were kneeling, they also knelt down and bowed.

Strange to say, the breeze was blowing slowly, and the ancient trees rustled, as if in response. The crystal clear branches drooped down, emitting wisps of green mist, and at this moment the people here seemed to be relaxed physically and mentally, some rheumatism villagers were no longer in pain, and the feet of Lao Wang, who had been on crutches all year round, seemed to have improved a little. All of them were blessed by the sacred tree, and they bowed down.

The ancient tree no longer responded, as if nothing had happened, and the villagers kowtowed as if they were in a big dream, and found that they were a little hungry, and then they were a little nervous, or they were excited to go back to cooking...

Lin's father and mother returned home and found that their youngest son Lin Yong had woken up, crying with joy and saying, "God bless." ”

Finding that there was nothing wrong with Lin Yong, but he was a little hungry, Mother Lin swept away the haze of these days, her sad mood was greatly reduced, and she cleaned up her mood and went to cook. Father Lin was still a little worried, and while Mother Lin was cooking, he would ask about Lin Yong's situation again.

Lin Yong said: "It's nothing, I even feel very good, I haven't been so good before, I feel like my strength has also increased, but I'm a little hungry, and everything else is fine." ”

"Really, nothing? You've been in a coma for almost two days. Scared your mother to death. ”

"Ahh

Father Lin saw Lin Yong mention Lin Feng, and he stopped talking.

"What the hell is going on, is something wrong? Hurry up!"

"Well, you'll know anyway. So Father Lin told Lin Feng about the disappearance of Lin Feng and the situation outside in the past few days, so that Lin Yong could get a general idea.

Lin Yong was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, he couldn't believe it, he didn't believe that so many things had happened after only sleeping for two days, but after seeing the tree trunk covering the sky and the sun on his head, he could only accept this fact.

After a while, Mother Lin simply made breakfast, and Father Lin and Mother Lin also became a little better because of the awakening of their youngest son, and ate a few more bites of food.

Lin Yong ate a few more bowls of rice, he originally had a large amount of food, and he would have eaten five bowls, if it weren't for Lin's mother being afraid that she would just wake up without eating a drop of rice, not getting a drop of water, and eating a bad stomach, she would have eaten more. Lin Yong smacked his lips, well, barely full. Although I wondered why I didn't feel full after eating so much, I didn't think much about it, I just thought that maybe I hadn't eaten for the past two days, and my body wanted to make up for it......

Lin Feng also got up early, not because of the uneasiness of the upheaval, but because the biological clock woke him up on time. Since I was a child, because I had to get up early every day to make breakfast, I had to go to school a few kilometers away after eating, and I had to prepare my parents' share, at that time, the conditions were more difficult, and my parents got up earlier every day than their two brothers to work, leaving early and returning late, just to earn more money and be able to afford the tuition of the two brothers.

The two brothers were also very sensible and never complained, because the children of the poor were in charge of the house at an early age.

And this habit has always been left behind, whether it is going to school or working, it has not been abandoned.

I cooked early, and by the way, I made the noon one, which saved time and effort, although eating fresh food is good for the body, and it is better to recover physical strength, but now is not the time to worry about these, who knows what will happen, it is better to prepare early.

After eating breakfast seriously, I also prepared a copy for the big black dog, and I felt that the state of the body had recovered, and when the sun rose three poles, I picked up the iron rod for self-defense and walked out of the door carefully. I think it's better to be a little more violent after all, so maybe those so-called "ghosts" will be a little less rampant.

Although I want to wait until noon, I really can't wait, after all, time is life now, in case there is any drastic change, because I stayed here and didn't notice, resulting in a misstep into a thousand years of hatred, but I regret it.

Lin Feng was carrying an iron rod, his body remaining tense, ready for troubles that might arise at any time. This time, instead of exploring in the direction of "going home", he felt to the south, wanting to better understand the changes around him so that he could better respond.

Because he doesn't think that he can go out today in the direction of home, although he didn't give up, but it is more important to let himself survive first. Stay for a while!

The old house sits in the north and faces south, with him as the center, and going south is the direction of going to the new home, this time he groped to the east, and the east is a loess slope, which is more appropriate to say that it is a laterite slope, because the soil is more red. A large area of "tea trees" grows here, but it is not the kind that produces tea, but the "tea tree" that produces tea oil, which is taller and much tougher than the "tea tree".

The tea trees here are basically planted by the people in the village, Lin Feng liked to play here when he was a child, the terrain here is relatively high and wide, because there is a large flat rice field under the mountain, here, Lin Feng can enjoy the beautiful scenery below at a glance: watching the ripe rice in autumn rise and fall in the wind, just like the waves of the sea, endless, rippling, very beautiful, more refreshing. Here Lin Feng felt that he could empty himself and the pressure was liberated. But now the paddy harvest has been completed, leaving only piles and piles of tall rice heaps.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the same situation as before in the future," Lin Feng was a little melancholy.

After Lin Feng's careful thinking here, there are no other trees growing here except tea trees, even the ground is bare, there is not a single grass, and it looks very empty. Danger can be detected as soon as possible, and because of the danger found, it can be used to maneuver with the help of these "tea trees".

This place also belongs to a part of Turtle Shell Mountain, after this day and night of changes, it was originally a tea forest dozens of meters away from Lin Feng's house, but it became hundreds of meters away, and even the road opened by Lin Feng's parents in the past for the convenience of travel was broken, and the outline can still be seen vaguely.

But it couldn't be difficult for Lin Feng, although the road was broken, it was still relatively flat. I followed the mountain to a mountain bag. This is just the turning point of the previous road, you can see the east and south, the view is the best place, Lin Feng used to like to come in a daze after school and watch the breeze blowing through the golden rice fields.

Lin Feng came here and looked around vigilantly, guarding against the danger that might occur at any time. Although he is not very afraid of this weather ghost now, it is still difficult to deal with it if it appears, and it will be even worse if there are any mutated beasts, such as big snakes, wild boars or something.

Finding no danger, Lin Feng stood on a high place and looked into the distance: in front of him was a wide and flat rice field, and when it intersected with the rice field in the distance, there were mountains one after another.

But the rice fields are now more vast, as if the area is several times larger, giving Lin Feng the feeling of being more like a small plain.

The mountains in the distance are forcibly raised by dozens of meters, giving people a completely different feeling, more profound and high, stretching and long, and the trees in the mountains have become taller, as if they are not worthy of this mountain. The mountain was full of fog, there was hardly a single bird to be seen, and it looked calm and peaceful, but Lin Feng knew that this was an illusion, just like no one knew what kind of danger lurked underneath under the calm ocean.

A small stream that was a few meters wide suddenly turned into a "big river" more than 20 meters wide, and the river flowed quietly, calmly without waves, and could not be seen flowing, like a mirror, without waves.

"Isn't this just magnifying a few times, nothing special!, I just don't know why it's like this, I can't even go back home!!" Lin Feng thought very unhappily.

"It's just that the world has become bigger, and according to biology, the animals and plants in it will definitely get bigger, not to mention plants, which can be seen everywhere now. Animals, thinking of the mud snake turtle dove he met yesterday," Lin Feng had a deep sense of worry.

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much, see what else you find, if not, go back, and find a way back in the afternoon, maybe you will go out!" Lin Feng thought in a deep voice.

Suddenly, Lin Feng saw a round black thing in the col not far away, but it was mostly hidden by the tea tree, and he couldn't see it very clearly.

"Why don't you go and take a look, it may be dangerous, but if you run fast, there should be no problem. Driven by curiosity, Lin Feng slowly approached the mountain col.

It turned out to be a cave, Lin Feng didn't remember that there was such a cave here before, it may be that the movement of this leyline made this cave appear, it should have been there before, but I don't know why, I haven't seen the light of day all these years.

Looking at the swarthy entrance of the cave with a diameter of one meter, Lin Feng suddenly had a bad premonition: "It won't be a snake hole, right? For the sake of prudence, Lin Feng wanted to retreat and prepare the lighting before exploring.

Suddenly, a black shadow scurried by, and it was the old black dog who suddenly ran in.

"Don't, Ah Fu, come back," Lin Feng shouted nervously from behind, but the old black dog didn't respond and disappeared into the cave in a flash.

Lin Feng stood at the entrance of the cave, gritted his teeth, and groped in. It is impossible to abandon the old black dog and leave alone, since the old black dog has entered like this, what else do you have to be afraid of, the dog's feeling is much more sensitive than that of a person, so it shows that there is no big danger.

This hole looks only one meter big, who knows that the more you go, the wider it gets, at first you have to hunch your waist forward, and after walking more than ten meters, it suddenly becomes wide, and there is no fork in the road. reminded Lin Feng of a text he had learned: "At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, and only then did it pass through people, and after repeating dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear." "Well, that's probably what it means, I'm a little embarrassed, I don't know if there's a mistake.

But I didn't think much of it. Lin Feng just wanted to find the old black dog quickly, and then leave this place, and come back when he was fully prepared, after all, unknown places are always scary.

Lin Feng felt that after walking for about a few minutes, about more than a thousand meters, suddenly his eyes lit up, there was no cave, and looking ahead, Lin Feng's pupils suddenly dilated: in front of him was a cave, more than ten meters high and about twenty meters in diameter.

There is a stone platform more than ten meters away in the center of the front, more than three meters high, and a stone ladder winds and circles up, like a snake wrapped up on it.

There was a knife on the stone platform, floating on it, and it emitted a strange red light, illuminating the entire cave.
