After Mu Xun drove away the horse, he tied Xu Che to his back, and then walked quickly to the north of the woods, after a period of shuttle, he really saw the cliff described by Wei Chonghai, and immediately leaned forward quickly, reaching out to touch the stone wall as he walked.

Xu Che asked in a low voice, "Are you invisible?" Why do you want to walk by touching the mountain wall?"

Mu Xun said impatiently: "You know a fart, there is a cave near here, we have to go into the cave to escape." ”

When Xu Che heard this, he quickly straightened his neck and looked around, wanting to quickly find the cave in Mu Xun's mouth.

The two walked for a while, Mu Xun suddenly screamed "oops", and Xu Che asked anxiously, "How is it?

Mu Xun motioned to Xu Che to hug him tightly, and then stretched out his hands to push away the vines in front of him, only to see that a hole about one person high appeared under the vines, and took a little further and looked in by the moonlight, but unfortunately except for a small open space under the moonlight, the rest of the places were pitch black, and I couldn't see anything famous.

Xu Chehu said suspiciously: "It's dark here, can we really go in? There won't be any beasts in there, right?"

Mu Xun said: "Since Brother Wei told him, it means that he must have walked through this cave, and there will be no danger if he thinks about it." Besides, if you don't go in, are you still waiting here for those wicked people to come and take their lives?"

Xu Che said: "Then let's make a fire and then go in, so as not to step on the dark pit under our feet." ”

Mu Xun said: "I don't have a fire fold on me, do you have it?"

Xu Che suddenly exclaimed, and said hurriedly: "Oops! My baggage is still in the carriage, that's all my belongings!"

Mu Xun heard the distress in his words, but he didn't want to deal with this problem, so he said to himself: "Then let's go in the dark." You put your arms around my neck, and I had to open the way with both hands. ”

Xu Che had no choice but to tighten his hands. When the two entered the cave, Mu Xun closed the vines again to cover the entrance of the cave, so that there was no trace of moonlight in the cave, and the world fell into darkness again.

Subsequently, Mu Xun held a knife in his right hand to explore the road forward, to investigate whether there were obstacles in front of him, and his right foot slowly slid forward against the ground.

After walking safely for a distance, Xu Che suddenly whispered, "Do you think there will be anything strange in this cave?"

Although Mu Xun was bold, but in the face of the darkness in front of him, his heart was also frightened, at this time, he suddenly heard Xu Che's question, and suddenly felt a chill on his back, but before he could speak, he heard Xu Che continue to ask: "How long is this cave? How long do we have to walk? What if there is really something strange..."

Mu Xun listened to his chatter, and his already depressed mood became a little more annoyed, and he immediately scolded: "How do I know how long? Also, it's always been me walking..."

As he spoke, an echo suddenly sounded, the sentence: "I don't know how long, and besides, it's always been me walking..."

The echo is low and ghostly, and the smell makes people's hairs stand on end.

Xu Che whispered again: "Why are you so loud, don't really provoke any strange things, let's stop talking, let's go quickly." ”

Mu Xun scolded in a low voice: "It's not you who provoked it, but now it's blaming me..."

But scolding and scolding, his feet did not stop, and he marched at a uniform speed of about a cup of tea, and when he probed the knife forward, he suddenly poked a hard object, slid left and right to probe, and then withdrew the knife and stretched out his hand to touch it, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is a stone wall, but I am afraid that the first fork in the road has arrived." So he whispered, "There are two forks in this cave, and this is the first fork, and after this, and after another, we will be able to get out of the belly of this mountain." ”

Xu Che asked in a low voice, "But how many openings are there at this fork?"

Mu Xun said: "There are two intersections, the first fork is to go to the left..."

When he said this, his body suddenly trembled, hesitated for a moment, and muttered, "Hey, should I go left or right?"

Xu Che asked, "Didn't Brother Wei say it?"

Mu Xun hurriedly said: "I said it, but I can't remember it clearly." ”

Xu Che complained: "Will you remember the two intersections wrongly?" After a pause, he said: "It's a pity that the darkness here is blocking the road, otherwise you can choose one to go, even if you go wrong, it doesn't hurt." ”

Mu Xun said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense! This also needs you to say? Don't talk to me yet, I'll think about it again." ”

In the dark, the two were silent, only the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeat could be heard, but the quieter the environment, the more troubled Mu Xun's heart became, and the more the memory was confused.

"Bell!"

I saw the firelight splashing in the darkness, and then the sharp echoes fluttered around.

Xu Che was taken aback by this movement, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "At the beginning of the year, there was a wandering magician who came to the store to eat, and I took the opportunity to ask him to calculate a hexagram for me. "Why don't we just go to the right?"

Mu Xun thought for a moment and said, "The words of the wandering warlock may not be credible, but... Just go to the right first, and if you're wrong, go back the way you came, and then go the other way. ”

The two agreed and immediately walked to the fork in the road on the right. Mu Xun felt the stone wall and slowly moved forward, and after walking fifty or sixty steps, he felt that the ground began to become uneven, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and said to himself: "The terrain here is very different from before, we are afraid that we are going wrong." ”

Xu Che had been floating up and down on Mu Xun's back for a while, and he had already felt that the road was uneven, so he said, "Then let's go back and take the road on the left." ”

Mu Xun hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I've come so far, let's go a little further and take a look." ”

Xu Che thought about it and agreed, so the two groped forward for twenty or thirty steps, but the road under their feet became more and more difficult to walk, and there were a few steps that almost tripped over, but fortunately, Mu Xun's toughness was excellent, so he would not fall.

Xu Che asked, "Did Brother Wei say anything about the correct fork in the road before?"

Mu Xun gasped: "How can I say so much, but... Maybe we're really wrong. ”

Xu Che said: "Why don't you put me down first, let's rest for a while before leaving." ”

Mu Xun refused: "I don't want to stay in this kind of ghost place for long, let's go back and take the fork on the left." ”

As he spoke, he was about to turn around, but as soon as he took a step, his feet suddenly slipped, and he staggered back two steps, and his left foot suddenly stepped into the air, and the whole person immediately fell backwards.
