Chapter 14 chapter 13
The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the transpiration of the trees added a layer of water vapor to the hot and dry air, making the air humid and hot, making it suffocating.
Two teenagers who were supposed to act like a spoiled child at the knees of their parents and play games in the city, big and small, walked one behind the other on a dense forest path that only allowed one person to pass.
Shan Heyi's thin shirt was soaked in sweat and stuck to his thin back. The young man's body could be described as skinny, with a yellow and thin complexion. Even if the young man covered it up intentionally or unintentionally, Yan Xiao could guess that it was not just a poor man. Question, this poor boy must have been abused.
Dark clouds came from the sky, layer after layer, covering the scorching sun in the sky.Yan Xiao was preoccupied with other things, and didn't notice the darkening sky until a gust of wind cooled the sweat all over his body, and Yan Xiao shivered slightly.
The land covered by dark clouds gradually became gloomy, and the wind from nowhere blows away the sweltering heat in the dense forest.
"Brother Xiao, it looks like it's going to rain, we have to find a place to shelter from the rain." Shan Heyi turned his head and said to Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao looked around vigilantly, feeling a little strange in her heart, did the current wind and rain come so suddenly and fiercely?Why doesn't it feel like ordinary rain?
After listening to Shan Heyi's suggestion, Yan Xiao also agreed, it is not a good idea to continue walking now, no matter what the tricks of the storm are, it is always good to find a place to hide.
The two walked forward while paying attention to their surroundings. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the tree was blown straight to one side, as if it could fall to the ground and be reborn at any time.
Shan Heyi stopped, looked around, turned around and said something to Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao: "..." The wind was too strong to hear clearly.
Shan Heyi was blown away by the wind, and realized that it was not a good choice to speak now, so he raised his finger in one direction, Yan Xiao looked in the direction of his finger, and searched carefully for a while before finding a small cave in a hidden corner.
Yan Xiao has been walking in the wilderness for many years, not to mention his observation ability, even he didn't find a cave there, but Shan Heyi found it easily. If this is not a coincidence, it can only be said that the young man is very familiar with this place, and he may have been here before. However, maybe he also stayed in that cave.
Yan Xiao quickly walked a few steps, came to Shan Heyi's side, walked side by side with him, lowered her head, and shouted in his ear: "Is this cave safe?"
Shan Heyi nodded, opened his mouth wide, and tried to explain to Yan Xiao, but Yan Xiao could only see his mouth opening and closing with great effort, and couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.But with only a few words, coupled with the highly recognizable lip language, Yan Xiao still understood what he wanted to express.
Yan Xiao patted Shan Heyi on the back, signaling him to lead the way, while she followed behind in a leisurely manner.
It feels so good to be trusted and needed by others. Although the environment they live in is a bit harsh and their lives are in danger at any time, the mood of the young man is surprisingly good. When he thinks of being trusted by the person behind him, his heart feels wiped out. Sweet as honey, so happy that I want to fly.
Yan Xiao is not as relaxed as he is, the sense of danger is getting stronger and stronger, Yan Xiao even feels that it is around, watching silently, ready to pounce on it at any time.
This feeling of being regarded as food lasted until they reached the cave. Along the way, Yan Xiao's muscles tensed up, ready to attack whenever there was a situation, but it was useless, as if all this was his illusion.
The two escaped the rain that could overturn the forest in the cave, and faced the mountain torrents so that Yan Xiao had no time to take care of the danger that made him fearful along the way.
The rain screen isolated the collapse of the mountain torrent, and the sound of the rain covered up the tragedy of the falling trees. This rain, however, could not wash away the traces of major natural disasters. The small stream that was originally crystal clear now seems to have shrunk The Yellow River quietly transports the last trace of life left in this world that has not escaped the mountain torrents.
The cave where Yan Xiao and Shan Heyi hid was not on the same mountain as the road they took when they first came here. The two mountains next to each other have very different landscapes.
The mountain where the cave is located is towering into the clouds, the plants at the foot of the mountain are lush and lush, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round. The holy water refers to the stream formed by the snow on the top of the mountain.
The mountain when they came, was like a newborn baby to the towering mountain, petite and weak. Due to the over-exploitation of people, the mountain, which was not very lush, was born bald, and a heavy rain would easily cause flash floods. .
Yan Xiao patted his overly frightened little heart, if it wasn't for Shan Heyi, he would have confessed here as a good young man!
Shan Heyi was also quite frightened. He had heard that the mountain god of that mountain would get angry from time to time, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. The familiar mountain forest instantly changed beyond recognition, and it was still a great shock to a young man who had never experienced anything in the world.
The atmosphere sank into dead silence. After a long time, Shan Heyi's dry voice sounded in the cave: "That mountain is called Enze Mountain. Grandma Mei said that the mountain god of Enze Mountain would get angry every 11 years. Every time he got angry, he would take away some life……"
According to legend, a long time ago, these two mountains were as high and as lush, and the two mountain gods lived in peace. It is praised as Fuze and Enze.
However, the sound of an excavator broke the peaceful and peaceful situation, and Enze Mountain became full of holes. Every time it rained, the holes that were penetrated would flow out orange and yellow muddy water, and the vegetation was reduced. The snow on the top of the mountain is polluted.Finally, in a heavy rainstorm, Enze Mountain collapsed and became a hill not half as high as Fuze Mountain.Since then, Enze Mountain has experienced frequent torrents, and every time it experiences one, Enze Mountain becomes shorter.But he didn't care, every time he got angry, he would take some lives away as an apology.
Yan Xiao looked at the clear and yellow water flowing in the creek, as if he saw the muddy water flowing out of the caves with thousands of warehouses and holes in Enze Mountain hundreds or even thousands of years ago, and he couldn't help but sighed secretly.Who would not be annoyed at who took such pains to nurse people, but in the end was ruined by human greed?Who is not angry?
"I've never seen a mountain god get angry before," Shan Heyi continued, "but brother Qi told me that if we encounter any danger, we can hide in this cave, and the mountain god Fuze will protect us."
When the rain stopped completely, the sky was already dark. Not to mention how dangerous it is to walk in the forest after the heavy rain, it is not fun to venture into the deep mountains at night. Even Yan Xiao, who has stayed in the deep mountains at night, did not dare to try it lightly. , the two had no choice but to stay in the cave, not knowing if the mountain torrent would erupt again, the two dared not leave the cave, they had no dry food, and could not go hunting to find wild fruits, so they could only drink water to satisfy their hunger. At this moment, Yan Xiao wailed in her heart, Why didn't you grill a few more fish for lunch?Now you can't even look down on Yu Xing'er!
The young man Shan Heyi huddled and hid in a corner, just like how he used to huddle and hide in a corner of the room when he was starving. He was pitiful and helpless, but he was calm and tenacious, which made people feel sad. Can't help feeling distressed.
After a heavy rain, the sky didn't have the slightest intention of clearing up. The thick clouds blocked the sky's light tightly.
Yan Xiao withdrew his gaze from looking outside the cave, and landed on the huddled boy. At this moment, the smell of moist water vapor in the air became Yan Xiao's only sense of smell.
Just after the heavy rain, the humidity in the cave is heavy, the young man is thin, and his foundation must not be much better. If he just stays up all night like this, he will definitely suffer from illness.
Suddenly, a fiery snake flashed in the sky, illuminating the entire cave, and a moment later, a loud thunder shook the ground, and Yan Xiao stayed where he was, as if he had been stunned by the thunder.
Immediately, both pleasantly surprised and worried, several different emotions crossed and flashed in his heart, and after a few back and forth, he couldn't determine which emotion was more dominant.
They entered the cave in time, and if they were later, even if they were not drowned, they would not be able to escape the fate of having a few seven-spotted ladybug spots on their backs.At that time, the sky was already gloomy and the situation was urgent. For them, this cave was the only life-saving straw. They rushed in without thinking, and then they were shocked by the devastating rain. I didn't check the cave carefully, but I didn't expect that there are hidden things in this cave that looks shallow on the outside.
Yan Xiao got up quickly, not forgetting to take out the flashlight she had prepared in her bag.The two stone slabs are dislocated and seamlessly connected. If the angle is not right, this secret can only exist here forever.
The location of this stone slab is very ingenious, and the possibility of human processing cannot be ruled out. If it is really an artificial trace, there may be something hidden in it, and there may be food. Otherwise, why do you say that you can survive after entering this cave?
Shan Heyi was in another corner of the cave, and he couldn't see anything strange about the stone slab. He was dazzled by Yan Xiao's flashlight, but it was as if his head had been shaken. He didn't know what Yan Xiao was up to if he didn't conserve his energy.
Yan Xiao saw that Shan Heyi did not continue to pretend to be dead, so he ignored him and focused on the passageway he had just discovered.
The range of the flashlight is good, but it can't give full play to its advantages here. Every ten meters, there is a stone wall.
Shan Heyi was stunned, apparently he didn't expect that there was a road in this cave, leading to other places, but there is a road in the cave, why didn't brother Qi tell himself?Is it... He doesn't know himself?
Shan Heyi held Yan Xiao's clothes tightly, and walked forward step by step. When entering this corridor, Yan Xiao had already told Shan Heyi not to touch the things inside. There are indeed artificial holes here. There are traces, but this does not mean that vigilance can be relaxed. Before there are definite detection results, everything is still unknown. Once you relax your vigilance at any time, it is equivalent to handing over your life to someone who does not know friends or enemies in the dark.
When the two stepped into a small path again, the sound of "chachacha" sounded, and Yan Xiao's tense muscles instantly took a defensive posture, but the expected rain of arrows did not appear, but the world became brighter.
Yan Xiao: "..." Who designed it, can this welcome method be a little more scary?
Yan Xiao adjusted her somewhat embarrassed jacket, tightened the strap of her backpack, and the flashlight in her hand silently turned into a knife.
After confirming that everything was ready, Yan Xiao walked on the candlelit promenade like walking on a red carpet.
This long corridor is different from the previous path, except for the candlelight lighting, it is still straight, and it can be seen that the hall is connected at the end.
Well, if you come to this kind of place, if you don't find out some secrets, you will be sorry for the devastating storm.
