The old man realized that something was wrong and led his assistant back quickly, but he could not find the way to the cave anyway.
About 20 minutes later, the old man stopped, sat on a big stone on the side of the road, wiped his sweat, and asked his assistant, "What did I say at that time? Please repeat it again."
The assistant's memory is not bad, and he repeated those words one by one as they were.
After listening to this, the old man didn't speak for a while, and sighed after a long while, with a complicated expression on his face: "I didn't expect that I kept looking away, just to beware of that ghost... The real most terrifying one should be the one next to him. "
The assistant was a little puzzled when he heard the words: "You mean that tall and handsome young man? No way? That's a person. He seems to have a very close relationship with the young man surnamed Chi."
The old man raised his head, glanced at him with turbid and vicissitudes-stricken black eyes, and shook his head: "...this is the most terrifying."
The assistant felt a chill in his heart for some reason: "...Then what do you think we should do now?"
The old man shook his head and stood up from the stone, with powerlessness and sadness in his eyes: "Go back first, and then I will find a friend to find a way. If you can save it, do your best to save it." The meaning of the unfinished words is that if you are unable to return to the sky, Also helpless.
That thing was deliberately trying to lure the young man into the hole. It would be good if he didn't eat it alive. How could it be possible to release the person unscathed
Chi Yan was unaware of all kinds of things in the world.
He cautiously entered with Ye Yingyi, but this time the door was not immediately sealed like last time. Looking at the wide opening, Chi Yan felt a little at ease, but she still took out her mobile phone and took a photo of the stone wall.
He remembered that from the photos taken by Li Fengkai back then, he could see the ghostly shadows peeping around.
The photo was taken, but there were only bare stone walls in it, just like the caves he had been to before, but there were no colorful lighting decorations, but there were no ghosts.
Ye Yingzhi stood beside him and laughed at him: "I said it's ok, let's go quickly."
Chi Yan nodded, took Ye Yingzhi's hand, and walked forward together.
He couldn't see it, and the entrance disappeared without a sound not long after they walked out - the whole cave was actually a closed loop, with no entrance and no exit. All living beings come and go.
He was the only exception a few years ago.
The cave was clean, cool, and slightly damp. I don't usually feel it when I'm at home, but only after I come out can I realize that Ye Yingzhi's physical strength is indeed very good, and it is very suitable for survival in the wild. He has strong climbing and jumping abilities, and he walks steadily in the dark cave, and he can still distinguish a lot. Part of the attention to take care of the late feast.
The two walked for more than an hour, and Chi Yan's heart gradually lifted. He remembered that after walking for such a long time last time, there would be a pool of water a little further ahead, where Cheng Tao fell into the water, and then the thing mixed into them. , and pointed them to the fork in the road to the left.
Thinking of this, he clenched Ye Yingzhi's hand and reminded in a low voice, "Be careful and watch the road under your feet."
But this time the situation was different from last time. He and Ye Yingzhi walked for a long time without seeing any road signs such as forks or water pools. The cave was very dark, surrounded by the same stone walls and rocks. When he was on the road that year, Chi Yan just followed the dim light of the flashlight and walked forward, without looking to both sides, plus the memory was blurred after many years, this time. It is difficult for him to even judge whether this road is the road he has traveled.
What's more tricky is that not long after entering the cave, the two's mobile phones are all black, and they can only estimate the elapsed time by the incense lit in Ye Yingzhi's hands.
The cave was empty and quiet, only the footsteps of the two of them echoed in it. The first incense burnt gradually to the end, and Ye Yingzhi lit the second incense, and Chi Yan's unease grew bigger and bigger.
He couldn't walk a little, was very sleepy, his mind was foggy, and he held Ye Yingzhi's hand weaker and weaker, but he kept holding on and didn't say anything.
I can't blame him. He got up at 6 o'clock in the morning and prepared to go into the mountains. It is now 11 o'clock in the evening, and there is almost no time to rest. For an ordinary office worker who neglects exercise every day , which is quite a challenge.
Ye Yingzhi noticed his abnormality, and helped him to sit down in front of a clean stone wall: "If you are sleepy, sleep for a while, take a rest and continue walking."
Anxiety and anxiety still lingered in Chi Yan's heart, lingering, but he really didn't have the strength to resist this tempting proposal, so he shrank into Ye Yingzhi's arms and muttered in a low voice: "I just We'll go on in a while, in a while..." He was frightened. He was so afraid that he would be trapped in this cave with Ye Yingzhi and would never be able to get out again. But they walked all the way clearly without a fork in the road, and there is no reason to go the wrong way.
If it doesn't work, go back the same way.
Chi Yan admits that he is a selfish person - nothing is more important than Ye Yingzhi, the living, the dead, and everything in this world can't compare to Ye Yingzhi's health and safety. They still have two sticks of incense, and it should be enough to go back the same way.
Chi Yan's physical and energy consumption was too much, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep.
He came to the edge of a pool in a trance. There were many people swimming in the pool, but as he got closer, there were fewer and fewer people in the pool, and finally only one person remained. With the sound of rushing water, the only remaining person slowly swam in front of him and stuck his head out of the water.
It was someone he knew, Liu Yu.
Chi Yan still remembered this girl who had a beautiful appearance and a soft temperament and almost became his sister-in-law. She squatted down by the pool and said to the woman in front of her, "Sister Xiaoyu? Why are you here alone? Where's my brother?"
The woman looked at him quietly: "Your brother has been sent away."
Chi Yan made a "uh", always feeling that something was wrong, but in the dream, she couldn't tell what was wrong, and subconsciously asked, "What do you do, Sister Xiaoyu?"
"I should die too. Those who have never harmed anyone, 'He' let us die."
Before Chi Yan could understand what "no harm to anyone" meant, she heard Liu Yu's tone suddenly became more impatient, and said eagerly: "Xiao Yan, I'm here to tell you, be careful, Be careful of the man next to you, he's not human..."
The water waves spun, and the entire pool suddenly overturned, and a huge boundless water wave swept in the direction of Chi Yan.
Chi Yan exclaimed and suddenly woke up from the dream. The people around him hugged him tenderly, patted his back lightly with his left hand, and put his right hand on his forehead: "Are you awake? What did you dream about? You sweat from fright."
What are you dreaming about? Liu Yu's face suddenly appeared in front of Chi Yan. After waking up from the dream, he instantly realized what was wrong - Liu Yu was someone who died long ago and was killed in this hole.
Chi Yan's upper body shivered slightly, subconsciously approaching Ye Yingzhi, and at the same time he remembered the last sentence Liu Yu said in his dream - "Be careful, be careful of the man beside you, he is not people… "
The man next to him? Chi Yan was slightly at a loss for a moment. Then only Ye Yingzhi was left. But how could Ye Yingzhi not be human, and how could he have such a strange dream
Chi Yan calmed down and told Ye Yingzhi about the scene in the dream in a low voice. In the darkness, Ye Yingzhi kept listening quietly, his black eyes looked at him deeply, his left hand hugged him through his clothes, and gently and slowly stroked his back inch by inch, as leisurely as if he was lying on his bed with his lover.
After listening to this, the man leaned over and kissed his eyelids soothingly, and said softly, "You are too nervous to have such a strange dream, don't be afraid."
When he leaned over, Chi Yan saw the burning incense stick - it had already burned to the end and was about to burn out soon.
He had slept for so long this time that even the second incense had been burned.
Chi Yan didn't bother to ask Ye Yingzhi why he didn't wake him up in time, so he got up immediately, pulled his lover and said, "Yingzhi, we won't go inside, the situation is wrong, we'll go out now and go back the same way. "It took them about a stick of incense to get here. If they stepped up their pace, they should be able to get back to the cave before the last stick of incense was burned.
Ye Yingzhi did not object, and while comforting him, he led him in the direction he had come from.
Also because of the darkness, similar environment and not paying attention to the surrounding scene when they came, Chi Yan didn't realize this time, even if the direction was the same, the road they were walking was not the same road as when they came.
I don't know if it was his illusion. The further he walked, the darker the surrounding darkness became. It seemed that he was about to wrap and swallow people, and the space that the light of the flashlight could penetrate became more and more limited. The coolness in the air is also becoming more and more intense. The coldness is not the kind of coldness in life when the weather turns cooler in autumn, but the coldness that penetrates into the human bones, and wrapping clothes tightly has no effect.
The two of them had already consumed a lot of their belongings, so Ye Yingzhi simply stopped and transferred all the useful things in Chi Yan's bag into his backpack, threw Chi Yan's bag on the ground, and then stretched out his arms around him and continued to walk forward. .
After being surrounded by Ye Yingzhi, the coldness subsided a lot. Chi Yan stared at the half incense stick left in his hand and quickened his pace.
The incense in his hand was getting shorter and shorter. He estimated the distance he had traveled, and then slowed down his pace a little. He was no longer stingy. He took out another flashlight and put it on the battery. It's daytime outside, so there should be natural light coming in from the entrance of the cave, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
Chi Yan just walked forward while looking for the exit, suddenly stopped and was stunned.
What appeared in front of them was a circular stone hall they had never seen before. The light of the flashlight passed through the center of the stone hall and hit the opposite stone wall, reflecting small jumping oval light spots.
Before them was a dead end.
Only one tail of incense fell to the ground and slowly went out.
Chi Yan looked at his lover, and called out timidly, "Ye Yingzhi..." The unprecedented panic firmly slammed his heart and left him at a loss. A faint voice in my heart murmured that they might really be trapped here, and they couldn't get out.
He and Ye Yingzhi may both die here.
At this time, it is his instinct to invest in his lover.
The man still looked at him calmly, as if unaware of their current situation. Ye Yingzhi responded softly, walked in front of him and said softly as if nothing had happened: "I'm here. What's wrong?"
Looking at those familiar bottomless black eyes, for the first time, Chi Yan felt fear rather than comfort, fear from the inside out.
He involuntarily took a slight step back, but the man leaned down at this moment, embraced him completely in an irresistible posture, and sighed in his ear, "My darling Ah Yan. What's the matter? "
