The mysterious pattern of the stone cave has been studied many times, but there is no progress.

On this day, taking advantage of the absence of the mountain people, Su Yi and Yuli Yuheng came to the stone cave again. Before the three of them could gain a firm foothold, they heard a scream from Yuheng, hid behind Yuheng, pointed to the side of the stone wall, and trembled: "You... Look over there. ”

The two looked in the direction and saw a mysterious man sitting at the bottom of the stone wall, dressed in shabby clothes and with a scruffy beard. The cave was dim, and it was impossible to see the man's face.

Rao is Su Yi is not small, but the scene in front of him still makes him feel a little panicked.

Yu Heng protected the jade fence behind him, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said calmly: "This... This friend, you don't seem to be from my Taiyan Mountain, and you have broken into this hundred wood forest, dare to ask what's going on?"

The mysterious man saw that Yuheng was young, but he put on an old look, and said with a dumb smile: "The three little friends don't have to be anxious, don't be anxious, you have to say what I came to Taiyan Mountain for..." I've lived in this forest for years, and I haven't figured out what I'm going to do, so don't ask. ”

"Excuse me... Why are you hiding in this cave?" asked Yu Heng.

"Hide...? Hahaha," the mysterious man laughed, "I opened this cave, but if you little ones like it, I'll give it to you." It's just that today I saw that you three little ones were so funny, so I came to say hello to you, and there was no malice—no malice. ”

Yu Li was still hiding behind Yu Heng, poked his head out and asked, "You are talking nonsense, this cave was discovered by us first, how could it be yours!"

Yu Heng pressed his head back behind him and asked, "Wait, you said this cave... Did you 'open it', and with what?"

The mysterious man spread his hands and nodded, "Naturally, I opened it with my hands, I don't need to lie to you." ”

Su Yi then asked, "Then dare to ask the seniors... Do you know the origin of this stone wall pattern?" Su Yi already believed in the mysterious man's words, if what he said was true, then this stone wall pattern should have nothing to do with him.

The mysterious man seemed very proud, and laughed loudly: "That's right, yes, I carved the patterns on the stone wall." You guessed that it was not far from ten, and it was said that it was a peerless martial art, and there was nothing wrong with it, hahaha. It's just that you're too young now, so it's better not to look at it. ”

Yu Liang said again: "Why?

Yu Heng didn't stop the jade fence this time, and he also wanted to know how the mysterious man would answer.

"You can't understand it, and if you look at it, it's better not to see it, and it's a waste of time. The mysterious man waved his hand and said, "Alright, it's time." It's time for me to go, and if I don't go, something will happen. With that, he got up and walked out of the cave.

The three of them consciously gave way to a way, and through the faint light they could see the man's face, but it was far from what they had imagined. He is estimated to be forty or fifty years old, and he seems to have a good face under his long hair and beard, perhaps because of the life in the deep mountains and old forests, which makes him look quite sloppy. But one thing is for sure, this man must have been a handsome man when he was young.

After the three of them looked at the cave where the mysterious man disappeared in a daze for a long time, Yu Li asked, "Hey, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering if I should continue to explore this stone wall pattern. Yu Heng replied.

The two looked at Su Yi again.

"I wonder if we forgot to ask the senior's name. Su Yi replied.

Yu Li clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Then we can go back and ask Master about them!"

Su Yi patted her head and said, "Silly you, won't we be found out about sneaking into the Hundred Wood Forest!"

Yu Li realized that he was stupid, so he pouted and said nothing.

"Maybe there will be a chance to meet him in the future," Su Yi said, "Who do you think he is?"

Perhaps, he is a man as mysterious as the mountain man. Yuheng said.

"Mountain people, mysterious?" Su Yi wondered.

Yu Heng explained: "The mountain people have been in the Taiyan Mountains longer than every one of our uncles and uncles, but none of us have ever been able to hear even a little bit of legend about the mountain people from them, do you say that he is not mysterious?"

Su Yi nodded in agreement: "That's right, I've lived in his bamboo house for a while, and he can always appear in front of me at any time when he wants to look for me, as if he can always know where I am." However, when I tried to look for him, I couldn't find him, so I had to wait for him to show up on his own."

Su Yi was a little weak-hearted, he didn't tell the two of them about the discovery of them sneaking into the Baimu Forest. It seemed to him that the mountain man had only forbidden him to enter the Hundred Wood Forest, and did not care about the others, so it always seemed as if he was doing the others a favor.

Speaking of this, Yu Heng seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "There is one thing... I don't know if you remember... That mysterious man seems to know that we often study the stone wall, and he knows what we guess..."

"I think I said," Su Yi said, "That is... He's been watching our every move in the cave?"

The three of them felt a little furious in their hearts.

"What!" Jade's forcible explanation, "if you want me to say that he is an ordinary hunter who lives in the depths of the Hundred Wood Forest. And then one day, he got lost, and the forest was so big, and he kept walking, and then he came here, and he happened to eavesdrop on us outside the cave, and then he came out and pretended to scare us!"

Yu Fence can be regarded as self-comforting.

"Yes, yes, the truth should be as my sister guessed. Yu Heng knew Yu Li's thoughts, and he was also worried about making her afraid, so he followed her words.

"yes, I don't think he looks like a human no matter how he looks..."Su Yi said with a thoughtful look instead.

"It's not like a human, what is it like?" said Yuli curiously.

"Have you ever noticed that when he walks... It's kind of like it's floating, and there's no sound at all. Su Yi said in a deep and gloomy voice.

"What? How do I... I didn't find it. Yu Li said a little nervously.

"And," Su Yi said again, "he doesn't seem to have a shadow!"

"Really... Really, why is there no shadow?" Yu's voice was already trembling a little.

"Because..."Su Yi suddenly approached the jade fence, grabbed his shoulder and said loudly: "He's a ghost——!"

"Ah——!" Yu Li was taken aback, pushed Su Yi away and ran out of the cave. Her crying voice came from the empty cave: "You hate ——!"

The two people in the cave laughed.

"Senior Brother Su, you are so naughty. Yu Heng sighed.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for the compliment. Su Yi smiled and hugged his fist towards Yuheng.

This trip to the Hundred Wood Forest ended in this joke, and the tension in my heart dissipated a little. Although the last three of them didn't mention it again, they all knew in their hearts the horror of that mysterious man, but after thinking about it, the mysterious man really didn't seem to have any ill will towards them, otherwise, they would have been buried in the Hundred Wood Forest by now. Since there is no malice, then he is just a master, and he is not terrible. In this way, the three of them were also relieved.

And Su Yi's heart was still thinking about the stone wall pattern.

That night, Su Yi slept very peacefully, and he saw his mother again in his dream. The plain woman walked slowly towards him in the middle of a distant lake, and the lake was covered with a thick mist, and the white dress on the woman's body almost blended into the thick fog.

The woman's pace was slow, but she came to him in three or two breaths.

Su Yi anxiously waited for her to step on the shore of the lake, and happily stepped forward into her mother's arms.

Bihe in the dream gently stroked Su Yi's head, Su Yi felt that it was real, and she asked softly, "My good boy, have you been suffering recently?"

Su Yi's head was still buried in Bihe's dress, and he shook his head and said, "No." ”

His face rubbed against the silky skirt cloth.

Bihe nodded, and said: "Even if you have that, it's good, you have to suffer a lot now, so that you won't be bullied in the future." ”

Su Yi nodded obediently and said, "Children are not afraid of hardship!"

The mother and son chattered again. This dream was so long, but Su Yi didn't get tired of it at all, until he didn't know when Bihe disappeared, he was sleeping on the white clouds, his head was warm sunshine and a piece of blue, he slept so peacefully.

Su Yi woke up with a sense of satisfaction, as if he had really seen his mother. When I came back to my senses, I suddenly felt very lost.

I feel aggrieved because my mother is not around, and I feel guilty because I have almost forgotten my mother in recent days.

Su Yi silently shed tears for a while, and wiped them away strongly.
