For the next three days, I prepared all kinds of supplies and caving equipment, as well as a long-range sight and a box of double-barreled shotgun ammunition, which of course I got from a friend of mine who was an athlete who played skeet shooting, so that my double-barreled shotgun could be used as a sniper rifle at the cost of lending him a Wrangler for a month.

On the fourth day, I bought hair dye and contact lenses, and I was going to have a serious conversation with Tang Wanli:

"Baby, have you really decided to go on an adventure with me?" I was still conflicted when I said this.

"Of course it's true. Tang Wanli's eyes were persistent and firm.

"It's really life-threatening, but it's not what you think. Looking at Tang Wanli's eyes, I gradually strengthened my confidence.

"Either way, as long as I'm with you, I'm willing. Tang Wanli's tone was calm, I think now even if she really asks her to do something about killing people and stealing goods, she will never do it.

"Remember the last few patients who looked like vitiligo?" I decided to tell her the truth so that she would have a chance to think again.

"yes, why did they leave? It can't be because of me, right?" Tang Wanli looked guilty.

"It's a little bit related to you, but it's not mostly because of you. "Do I really want to tell her the truth?

"Then will you blame me, will your mother blame you?" Tang Wanli became anxious.

"They are not relatives from my mother's hometown, but from a mysterious ancient tribe. "I finally decided to tell her all the truth, and as a close lover who will live together in the future, I don't think I need to hide it.

"Mysterious tribe, you won't take me to play time travel, will you? Could it be that there really is a time crossing in this world?" Tang Wanli opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't close it for a long time.

"They don't need to travel, they live in modern times, in a secluded place. I looked at Tang Wanli and replied to her with a smile.

"Are you going to a far away place, see you have so many things to prepare?" Tang Wanli's mouth closed, replaced by an expectant gaze.

"It's not far at all, it's near your house. I replied with a smile on my face.

"It can't be, those French, British people have rummaged around the cracks in the sinkhole. Tang Wanli continued to wonder and wonder.

"But they didn't get to where I was. I hugged Tang Wanli and kissed her forehead.

"Could it be that the disappearance of that time......" Tang Wanli suddenly realized.

"Exactly".

So I told Tang Wanli about the exploration and fall of the Longqiao Yin River, the unexpected entry into the valley, the chance encounter with Hanbao, the priest, the king of Ba, Yiga, the queen, Liya, and all the things that happened in the valley.

As I spoke, Tang Wanli's eyes kept changing expressions: doubt, surprise, surprise, confusion, fear......

"Now, have you decided to take the risk with me?" I picked her up and sat on my lap, looking into her wide eyes.

"Now I can't help but go, I'm looking forward to seeing them, but it's a pity that I can't see the queen!" Tang Wanli's eyes became more determined, and I remembered the popular saying - curiosity kills cats!

So, I took out the hair dye, but this time it was not black but fluorescent white, and the contact lenses became light blue.

"You're going to become a white-haired witch now, and it's too late to regret it. I said to her in a very serious tone.

"Then I am the heroine in a martial arts movie. Tang Wanli replied with anticipation, with a smile on her face.

"There is also a male protagonist who plays the envoy of the Emperor. We looked at each other and smiled, understanding.

―― I had a hard time with Tang Wanli at night.

With Tang Wanli accompanying her, the two roads of rock climbing and dark lake are no longer feasible, and the only way is through the White Tiger Cave, crossing the deep stream, and reaching the White Tiger Bus.

Take out the scepter and crutches wrapped in oiled paper from under the bed and grab it, pull the bolt a few times, and the operation is smooth. Actually, I wanted to own a pistol, which was well concealed and easy to use, but there was no suitable channel.

There is no need to take another crutch for torches, because this time there is a large battery that can be charged at any time, two helmets with calcium carbide lamps, and a flashlight.

Before leaving, I left a letter to my mother on the table, and if I didn't come back, people might find it when they were cleaning up the relics, but the letter still didn't mention the valley, just that I had gone to a distant place and might never come back.

In order to hide her dyed white hair and blue eyes, Tang Wanli wrapped her hair, deliberately wore a deep woolen hat to cover it, and wore a pair of sunglasses, like a star hiding from the paparazzi.

I handed over the Wrangler car to my friend, and then he drove us to the bus station to take the bus to Kuicheng, this time back to Kuicheng, without informing anyone.

After arriving at Kuicheng, I immediately transferred to a bus to Xinglong Town, and when I approached Xinglong Town, the surrounding mountains were already covered with snow. The car was moving slowly, and it was already 5 p.m. when it arrived in Xinglong Town, so I decided to stay in the town for the night and make some preparations.

I didn't linger with Tang Wanli at night, but told her some Ba people's etiquette habits and matters that need attention, and taught her a few simple words of Ba native language.

For safety reasons, this time I entered the valley, and I would not let the priests know about the return of "Liya" unless it was absolutely necessary.

The next day, I slept lazily, and when I got up, I saw Tang Wanli's still firm and expectant eyes.

After eating lunch and buying two goats in the town, Tang Wanli was puzzled when she saw my actions, but she still looked at me with trust, because I didn't tell her about the adventure in the White Tiger Cave.

I rented a van to go up the mountain, passed through Erwa's village, and there was no road for another stretch, so I asked the driver to stop the car and gave him 100 yuan, telling him not to wait for us any longer.

The driver took the money, but he refused to leave, probably because he was puzzled, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, with a pestle and a cane, and a strange stick, led two goats, came to this barren mountain in the ice and snow, what the hell is it for?

I guessed his concerns, so I smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, my friends will come to pick us up." The driver turned around and walked away.

Holding Tang Wanli with one hand and a goat with the other, they climbed towards the mountain. Tang Wanli's little hands trembled a little, I don't know if it was because she was cold or scared, I asked her again if she wanted to go back, but she still shook her head and refused.

I suddenly felt that I was not too selfish, how could I take her on an adventure, if she had three strengths and two weaknesses?

When I finally climbed the ridge and looked down, the waterfall had frozen into ice and shone in the sunlight. Along that rugged path, I led the goat in front, Tang Wanli followed behind, walking cautiously, Tang Wanli's eyes were still firm, I felt that the simple and honest Tujia girl was back.

When I came to the entrance of the cave, I took out a hand warmer from my backpack, handed her two bank cards, and said to her: If I don't come out in three hours, you can go back alone, don't say anything, forget me, and think of it as a dream.

Tang Wanli didn't agree, and insisted on going in with me. I resolutely rejected her, saying that I was just going to explore the way first, there was not much danger, you should not be nervous, just to be safe. Tang Wanli reluctantly agreed, saying that if I didn't come back, she would go into the cave alone.

The temperature inside the cave was much warmer than outside, so I took off my down jacket and tied it around my waist.

Although I have had a relationship with the white tiger, I am still a little apprehensive in my heart, after so long, do they still recognize me? This is also an important reason why I brought two goats here, even if it is to bribe them!

Under the illumination of calcium carbide lamps, it is not difficult to travel. The two goats bleated, probably a bit of a novelty. Suddenly I felt so cruel, and for my own benefit, I wanted to mutilate two innocent lives. But it seems to be wiser than to serve the tiger with a man.

Suddenly, there was an idea: If the sacrifice of the white tiger of the Ba people could be changed to "sheep sacrifice" in the future, wouldn't it be ......

Just as he was thinking, the sheep's cry became louder, and he desperately turned back and stopped moving forward. Immediately after, I felt the sound of the wind, and four faint white dots were approaching.

My breath became short, and I clung to the rope leading the sheep, and my heart was pounding.

The white shadow walked in, it was the four white tigers, and at a distance of about ten meters, the white tigers stopped.

In a moment, the two little tigers ran over first and pounced on me. In the panic, I slumped to the ground, and the little tiger licked my face and neck vigorously, and I finally realized that they still recognized me and were making out with me.

I let go of the ropes, took them into my arms, and rolled over. I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the two little tigers have grown up a lot, and they should be regarded as juvenile tigers, stronger and more powerful than before.

The two big tigers also came over, ignoring the two frightened sheep, gently opened the little tigers, and licked my forehead. I felt a rush of ecstasy in my heart that the plan was already halfway there.

When I brought in Tang Wanli, who was shivering with cold outside the entrance of the cave, and saw me making love with the four tigers, she was stupid, and hugged me tightly and didn't let go. He muttered, "Husband, am I dreaming?" or am I dead?

I squeezed her hand so hard that she screamed in pain.

"Do you still think you're dreaming?" I looked at her with a smile, and the little tiger ran over to kiss Tang Wanli, so frightened that Tang Wanli put her hands around my neck and hung her body.

I patted her gently on the back and said, "Come down and make out with your tiger brother and sister." ”

Tang Wanli still didn't dare to come down, so I pulled one of her hands off, pulled over and touched the head of a little tiger, Tang Wanli was so frightened that she quickly retracted and hammered my chest.

We came to a spacious hall with the white tigers, which was the "bedroom and living room" of the white tigers. I was still holding the two sheep, and when the sheep saw that we were intimate with the tigers, they seemed to be a little more emboldened, and they no longer struggled and wailed, but I knew in my heart that sooner or later they would become a good meal for the tigers.

Tang Wanli was amazed by the wonder of the cave hall, groping around to look around, and the two little tigers seemed to have become her guards, serving beside her, one left and one right.

Suddenly, Tang Wanli screamed again, looking for her eyes and walked over, in the deep pit under the stone wall, there were a lot of white bones, which were the bones of the tiger worshippers, and the skeletons of the two giant pythons were also messy in the pit, and I felt creepy when I saw it.

- Will there be any of Lea's bones inside?

Tang Wanli asked to leave the Tiger Cave early, in fact, in my opinion, this is the safest place. Although they are all animals, they are the most humane animals, the most loyal companions, compared to the intrigue between people, they are deceitful, framing and killing each other, I don't know how many times kinder.
