The flashlight in his hand fell to the ground, rolled to the side, and a small circle of light appeared on the ground.
The surroundings suddenly became darker. Chi Yan huddled into a ball in Ye Yingzhi's arms, not daring to move for a moment.
He tentatively called his lover's name in a low voice: "... Yingzhi, Ye Yingzhi...don't scare me..." In the empty stone hall, his voice became more and more weak and helpless.
Ye Yingzhi kissed his auricle lightly: "Don't scare you."
The warm body under his palm trembled slightly in his arms, like some kind of poor little animal caught in the palm of his hand, Ye Yingzhi could even hear his lover's uncontrollable whimper in his throat. .
Afraid of this, both hands are still against his chest, and he doesn't know how to escape, like a little lamb that relies on a hunter, and is completely slaughtered by others.
Ye Yingzhi suddenly felt that it was difficult to restrain himself, and kissed down along the auricle of his lover, until he kissed the other's collarbone along his neck, and then stopped a little, and took a breath.
Because Chi Yan cried.
His vision was not affected in the darkness, and he could clearly see his lover's eyes tightly closed, lips pursed, eyelashes trembling and dripping with fear.
He likes what Chi Yan looks like, but it may really be the essence. He can't deny that he really likes to see the little baby being kneaded in his hand, helpless and obedient. Heartbroken and hot. If you want to make him happy, don't be so sad; you can't help but secretly want to bully him more, forcing him to reveal all the tender and sweet inside.
I really want to eat him with the belt bone right now. In my mind, I couldn't help recalling the appearance of Chi Yan taking the initiative to serve him, the appearance of being bullied so softly that he would not hide from crying, and the appearance of lovingly and playfully asking him to greet him... Breathing became more and more unbearable.
It was the treasure he held on to his heart. Every move tugs at his heartstrings, making him haunted and unable to control himself.
I'm really bad.
Ye Yingzhi sighed silently, lowered his head and gently sucked away the tears from Chi Yan's left and right eyelashes, and said again: "Don't scare you."
However, this sentence seemed to break something, and Chi Yan suddenly choked up and opened his arms to hug him tightly, snuggled into his arms, and called his name: "Ye Yingzhi..."
He is afraid of him, but intuitively believes that this is his lover. When you hold it, you don't want to let go.
He could sense that something was wrong with Ye Yingzhi, but in such an environment where his nerves were oppressed, he couldn't figure out what went wrong for a while, so he could only whisper the other person's name.
"Ye Yingzhi..." There was a cry in his voice.
His hug made Ye Yingzhi's heart melt, and his heart was full of helplessness and distress.
Since he understood love, he really had nothing to do with Chi Yan.
I can only hug my lover back and kiss his eyelids lightly: "Ayan, baby, open your eyes and look at me. I'm with you. Don't be afraid."
Chi Yan slowly opened her wet eyes in his voice and looked at him: "Ye Yingzhi... how are you... you just... "
He wanted to ask Ye Yingzhi why he looked so scary just now and why he reacted so strangely, but he suddenly couldn't ask after opening his eyes.
The stone hall lit up at an unknown time, but he couldn't see where the light was coming from. Ye Yingzhi stood in front of him, and behind him was a pure black passage leading to nowhere. Chi Yan faintly felt that there was something on the other side of the passage that was pulling him, familiar, warm, sweet... and hopeless.
Before he could react, Ye Yingzhi had already stretched out his hand to cover his eyes and whispered, "Ayan, don't be afraid, it's just that we should go home. You promised to accompany me. Don't be afraid, soon. , it won't take long for you to remember. Then I'll tell you why I had to bring you here..."
Remember all the memories of us.
Chi Yan suddenly had his eyes covered by him, his eyes were dark, and he grabbed the opponent's arm subconsciously and at a loss.
However, in the next second, I felt that the world was spinning, and my consciousness was instantly peeled off.
…
The universe is wild, the end of eternity, the cycle of life and death... After all, where have I seen you
******
During the summer vacation of the first-year graduate student, Chi Yan took on an errand—to send the wife of the village party secretary to see the village party secretary in the mountains.
Here's what happened: Yan Zhu, Chi Yan's best friend from childhood to adulthood, was selected and transferred to a remote mountain village in southwest Yunnan to be the party secretary of the village after graduating from college, and he and his classmate Han Feixue got the certificate on the eve of graduation. Han Feixue chose to continue her postgraduate studies after graduation, and the young couple began to live apart.
Chi Yan had never even talked about love, so naturally he didn't understand the affairs between husband and wife. But he also continued to study, and because the same school and the same major happened to be in the same class as Han Feixue, he planned to visit Yan Zhishu, who was said to have a hard life, during the summer vacation of the first year of graduate school, while Mrs. Yan went to visit her husband as a matter of course. The village where Zhu lived was hidden in the mountains, and the traffic was inconvenient. It was not safe for a girl to be alone, so he took over the task of escorting Han Feixue to see Yan Zhu.
His actions are of course very loyal, but after several turnovers, he finally arrived at Lingsan Village, where Yanzhu is located, and then Chi Yan had two personal experiences: First, the conditions in the village were really difficult, and second, he was really superfluous. These two points are prominently reflected in the issue of accommodation.
There are no hotels in the village at all. The house that Yan Zhishu lived in had only one room, and there was only one single bed in the room. Of course, their husband and wife slept together. Chi Yan has nowhere to go. In the end, Yan Zhu arranged for him to stay at the old man Zhang's house in the village.
Zhang Laohan's son and daughter-in-law have all gone out to work. Only he and a four- or five-year-old granddaughter are at home, and there happens to be a vacant room. Han Feixue planned to spend a vacation with Yan Zhu here, while Chi Yan planned to see her brother for two days before leaving. The living conditions in the village were not good, but it was only one night, so of course there was nothing to fault.
Chi Yan was originally a light sleeper, and he was not used to the new environment when he arrived. In addition, it was hot in the house in summer, and the mosquitoes disturbed the rest. He couldn't fall asleep in bed for two or three hours at night, so he simply got up and prepared. Go for convenience and come back.
Zhang Laohan's house does not have a toilet, and for convenience, he must go to the public toilet at the entrance of the village. Because of the discomfort, Chi Yan didn't take off her clothes when she slept. She got up and pulled the door lock and went out.
After coming out of the public toilet, Chi Yan saw a familiar little figure lying on the grass in front of him, and narrowed his eyes to take a closer look at Xiao Xing, the granddaughter of Zhang Laohan's family. The little girl squatted there, as if catching crickets.
Zhang Laohan's wife is gone, and he is the only one at home. Not only is he half deaf, but he is also blind in one eye. Taking care of this little granddaughter will inevitably have places that he can't take care of. He even let the little girl sneak out to play in the middle of the night. Xiao Xing didn't know how to be afraid either, so when she saw Cricket running away, she ran out of the village.
Chi Yan was afraid that something would happen to the little girl, so she chased after her. But he is slightly short-sighted, and he didn't wear glasses when he came out. The village didn't turn on the lights at night to save electricity, and he didn't even have anything to illuminate. Before taking two steps, he almost tripped over a stone under his feet. After that, he had to be more careful. He squinted his eyes to see the road through the faint moonlight, and didn't dare to run fast. He couldn't catch up with Xiao Xing for a while.
Suddenly, the little girl settled on the edge of a mountain pass outside the village and stopped running. Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, just thinking that the little girl finally stopped, and caught up to take a look, she was also stunned.
There were about ten people standing there, all of them adult men, holding various tools in their hands, and they were gathering together to discuss something in a low voice. Chi Yan vaguely saw two people with guns in their hands.
Xiao Xingren hadn't caught their attention yet, but the movement of Chi Yan's approaching attracted the two of them to turn their heads and look over here.
Chi Yan subconsciously felt that the other party was not good, and as soon as he picked up Xiao Xing, he ran towards the village. But he was an adult, and he was spotted as soon as he ran, and three people chased after him immediately.
Chi Yan was not good at running, and was short-sighted and hugged a small child, and was quickly chased by the other party. He didn't know where the other party came from. There were not many people in the village, most of them were old and weak women and children. Most of the young and middle-aged people went out to work, so he didn't dare to call for help rashly. Xingren is small, and with him as cover, he might be able to run home smoothly. As he ran, he whispered in the little girl's ear: "Uncle let you go, run to the house quickly, and ask grandpa to find Uncle Yan."
He wasn't sure how much a child would know, but at least he should know how to "run home".
After saying that, he then bent down and put Xiao Xing on the ground. The little girl really quickly ran towards the village. Almost at the same time, the chasing soldiers behind had also caught up, and the two directly pressed Chi Yan to the ground one by one.
The group looked like a group of tomb robbers.
In the end, they didn't kill Chi Yan directly, but tied him up and took him underground after discussion.
Chi Yan didn't know the reason, maybe because they were very particular about killing someone's life before going to the tomb; maybe it was because he was afraid that his body would be found to cause trouble; maybe they wanted to keep him as a hostage. But it is better to live than to die. Chi Yan is glad that he escaped, and secretly hopes that Yan Zhu can find a way to save his life in time.
And if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chi Yan would be hard-pressed to believe that such a magnificent civilization was buried under the mountain where Lingsan Village, a remote and backward village, relied on.
They went down through a well-made robbery hole in the mountain. The location was a stone-built corridor, and at the end of the corridor was a stone-carved gate. The doors are decorated with simple and strange patterns. These patterns are very different from the traditional decorative patterns of ancient tombs in the Central Plains. The images chosen are not gods, animals, birds, auspicious flowers, but some evil-looking things.
For example, there are seven multi-headed snakes hovering on the door. These seven multi-headed snakes form a pattern resembling a human smiling face; in the position of the "nose" of this "human face", a three-legged smiling chicken is engraved - although it is The head of the chicken, but it can make people feel that the chicken is laughing, and even shows the neatly arranged fangs in the beak - this is obviously very different from reality. Under the chicken's three claws are four people twisted like a snake. The poses of those people looked painful, but it was strange that, looking closely at their faces, they were all smiling too.
After those people opened the door in some way, Chi Yan was forced to enter the underground palace with them.
The underground palace is solemn and majestic, with beautiful decorations, but there is a hint of strangeness in the gorgeousness. Some bronze-style objects and decorations are similar to the unearthed cultural relics of Sanxingdui, but there are also some differences. Compared with the cultural relics Chi Yan saw in the museum, the objects here are more complete, the production is more delicate, and the decoration and carving are full of bold imagination. The selected imagery and feel is similar to the moment on the door, there are those kinds of hydras, laughing chickens, and half-murlocs with fish heads and human bodies. Like the three-legged chicken, the murloc is obviously a fish head, but it has a human-like smile, and you can faintly see the neat and fine fangs in it.
Chi Yan also noticed one thing. All the human figures that can be seen in these wall carvings or object decorations are distorted and painful suffering poses, but they are all smiling. The painful body language and the joyful expression formed a sharp contrast, Chi Yan couldn't help feeling chills in his heart and shuddered.
This shocking underground palace is like a huge underground labyrinth, and there are also dangers and dangers in proportion to its mysterious charm.
It was also Chi Yan's luck that he was forced to follow the tomb robbers in depth, but he was safe and sound. During this period, even two of the tomb robbers' gang were damaged.
It was also during this process that Chi Yan gradually discovered that the group of people who caught him did not look like simple tomb robbers just seeking money. The simplest point was that it would be difficult for ordinary tomb robbers to obtain information about such an underground palace. .
The underground palace he was in was not like a tomb, but more like an altar.
