The mountain on the west bank of the creek can be seen in the village, but compared to the mountains in the west behind it, it is small and inconspicuous, and the people in the village call it Xiaoxi Mountain.

When I first came to Xiaoxi Mountain, I stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the densely arranged caves in the valley in front of me, and was deeply attracted by this strange scene.

Zhiyong came to pull me down the mountain, and I waved my hand to shake him off.

At this moment, I saw that one of the rows of caves on the opposite side of the mountain suddenly collapsed, and the dust suddenly rose, and then the caves on both sides of the collapsed cave also collapsed one after another, as if the sky had collapsed. Two or three seconds later, a shrill shout was heard from the other side: "Ah......hh

Judging by the distance, the shouting and the collapse of the cave in the middle occurred at the same time.

When Zhiyong saw it, he didn't come to pull me, and he climbed down the mountain by himself, and I followed behind.

When I reached the bottom of the valley, I found that there were clods of earth and stones rolling down the opposite mountain.

Zhiyong didn't seem to care, and continued to climb in the direction of the mountainside, and I gritted my teeth and climbed up.

When you climb to the platform where the cave collapsed, the entire staircase is covered by earth and stones, and the entrance to the cave is all buried underneath.

Zhiyong went up and knelt in front of the first collapsed cave, and began to dig the earth with his hands, crying as he plowed.

I was still in the horror of the collapse of the entire row of caves, and I was inexplicably puzzled by his series of actions, and I was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, a large rock moved above the ground where Zhiyong was kneeling, and then the stone slowly protruded outward.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I stepped forward and pulled Zhiyong aside, and at that moment, the big rock gurgled down from the height until it reached the edge of this staircase, and fell down the mountain with a thud.

Where the large rock fell, a black hole two feet wide was revealed. After a while, a man came out of the hole.

I was so frightened that I took two steps back, but Ji-yong suddenly became excited, and the frustrated expression on his face was swept away, and he began to show a hint of joy.

When the man came out of the hole completely, I was surprised to find that she was He Xuanya.

He Xuanya walked down the collapsed pile of earth and rocks, and saw me and Zhiyong.

"Xiao Yuan, what are you doing here? What kind of place is this, how did I get here?" He Xuanya looked confused, and asked three questions in a row.

I was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

He Xuanya showed a look of trying to remember, and after a few seconds, she looked at me again and said, "You are Xiao Yuan, right?

I replied casually: "I'm Xiao Yuan, Sister Xiaoya, you don't know me anymore?—— what is the underworld and the yang world?"

"I remember I got injured at the sports day and then I ended up in the hospital. I fainted with stomach pain. Later, when I woke up again, I vaguely felt that many doctors and nurses were rescuing me. I don't think I'll survive, I miss my parents, my grandparents, my classmates and teachers at school, and Weilong, you, and the sailors. After that, I didn't know anything. ”

When I heard her say that I missed me, my heart felt like an electric shock, and then my heart began to ache faintly again.

"You really couldn't do it last night, and you were dragged home by Uncle Zhongming. Later, the fairy grandmother came, and she gave a medicine and said that it can save your life. Let your grandma feed you before the sun comes out today. Grandma Fairy also said that you will wake up at twelve o'clock tonight after taking the medicine, but you will wake up in the morning. I briefly told her about the whole process, but I didn't mention my doubts about her waking up early and the anxiety of the fairy grandmother.

"Then how did we end up in this place?"

"When you went out in the morning, everyone was in a hurry, so they looked for you everywhere, but they never found you. I didn't see you at school. It was a fool who pulled me here, and as soon as I reached the top of the mountain, I saw that this row of caves had collapsed. The fool ran over and dug up the soil desperately. Then a big rock fell down and a hole appeared, and you crawled out of it. You don't remember how you got here?"

He Xuanya listened to my words, looked at me suspiciously, and said, "Xiao Yuan, are you playing tricks on me with Weilong and them?"

I felt that I had been greatly wronged, and said anxiously: "What I said is true, I don't believe you ask a fool." ”

He Xuanya sneered, then looked at Zhiyong and said, "I want to ask, you let him say something first, and I'll listen to it." ”

Ji-yong seemed to understand her words and giggled.

"Let's not talk about it, let's go home first, this place is weird and panicked. "He Xuanya is always so sensible. I knew her mind was full of doubts about this strange experience, but she knew that in the middle of this barren mountain range, there would be no answers.

The afterglow of the setting sun left only a single point of light on the summit of Mt. Konishi. This point of light is also slowly disappearing. The tall and majestic mountain in front of us cast a black shadow into the entire valley, and after the small point of light on the top of the opposite mountain disappeared, it completely swallowed the small western mountain. It's already getting dark in the valley.

Zhiyong "babbled" a few times, gestured with his hand a few times, and led us down the mountain.

When I reached the bottom of the valley, I saw that Xiaoxi Mountain was dark. was worried about how to climb over the mountain, but Zhiyong did not continue to the east, in the direction of Xiaoxi Mountain, but walked along the valley to the north.

I immediately understood what he meant, that he wanted to lead us down the valley to the main road, and then make a detour home. According to my approximation, going out of the valley, it should be the neighboring village to the west of our village. From there, walk east for half an hour along Xichuan Avenue – the avenue that connects to the west gate of the county town and passes behind my house – and you can return to the village.

I now know that a fool is not stupid, and his intelligence and wit are not inferior to ordinary people. It's just that God didn't give him a pair of ears to hear sounds and a mouth to speak.

I had just taken a few steps at the bottom of the valley when I looked up and saw a figure moving on the top of Konishi Mountain. I looked intently, and the figure was leaning forward, and the figure was very familiar. Just as I was trying to confirm who the man was, I heard the voices of people in a mess in front of me. When I looked up again, the top of the mountain was empty. I suspect I'm hallucinating again.

After we turned a bay, a large number of torches appeared in front of us, and it was the crowd that had come to find He Xuanya.

The fairy grandmother walked at the front of the crowd, followed by He Xuanya's parents and dozens of children of the He family. In addition, there are some enthusiastic descendants in the village.

When He Xuanya saw her parents, she ran to them crying, and Zhiyong and I followed her and walked quickly to the crowd.

The fairy grandmother took He Xuanya's hand, looked at her face and eyes carefully, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said quietly: "This is really a miracle! ”

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at me again and said, "Xiao Yuan, come here." ”

I took two steps forward and walked up to her.

She took my hand and said, "You are really the lucky star of my old wife and the people of Zhuangli." How did you find Xiaoya?"

I pointed at Zhiyong and said, "It's a fool - oh no, it was Zhiyong who brought me to Sister Xiaoya." She was crushed by the collapsed cave and later crawled out on her own. ”

After hearing this, the fairy grandmother muttered, "No wonder the compass is not working today." ”

As he spoke, he gave Ji-yong a thumbs up, and Ji-yong giggled.

Today's ending is a happy one. Whether it is the people of the He family or the others in the village, they all regard today's incident as an ordinary incident of a little girl running away from home. But in my mind, new mysteries have been added.

I don't know what it means for He Xuanya to wake up early, I don't understand what she went through and how she ended up in a deserted abandoned cave, I don't understand why the cave collapsed, I don't know how Zhiyong suddenly appeared and guided me to do all this, I can't understand why Grandma Fairy is so nervous in the morning, and I don't know why I have that inexplicable sense of panic in my own heart.

All these mysteries and doubts will push me to explore the truth step by step, and this process is painful and happy for me.
