Shen Bing was startled, then turned back, looked around nervously, and asked me: "Is there... a ghost?"
I shook my head and said, "I feel like someone is following me. It makes me uneasy."
"Don't be so weird. If you scare people, they will die." Her little face turned pale with fear.
I smiled and turned around, and saw Qu Mo coming down and walking towards us. I said, "Isn't that Qu Mo? She's coming over."
Shen Bing was surprised to see her and said, "Where did she hide just now? This canyon is bare. How could she disappear just like that and appear just like that?"
I didn't answer, thinking I'd better wait for Qu Mo to come over and tell a story. This girl can lie without blushing, so it's more than enough for her to be deceived. After Qu Mo came over, before Shen Bing opened her mouth, she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just received a phone call and was tired for a while, so I sat behind a big rock. Did you worry about me?"
Shen Bing suddenly realized and said "Oh", and it seemed that she had no doubts. It was almost five o'clock now, and we were still far away from the place Qu Mo mentioned. We had only walked less than one-third of the way, and it would definitely be dark when we got there. I urged them to hurry up and talk on the way.
The three of us were still the same as before, Shen Bing and I walked in front, Qu Mo followed behind, I saw Shen Bing watching very closely, I couldn't find a chance to talk to Qu Mo alone, I was anxious, wanting to know what Qu Mo saw in the cave. But her expression was as calm as before, and I couldn't tell anything.
But a smart person won't be suffocated by urine. I remembered that Qu Mo lied about calling, and thought why not use the mobile phone as a communication tool? So I secretly took out the mobile phone from my pocket and shook it at Qu Mo. She is a smart child and should know what I mean. When we got off the train in Huangshan City, we left each other phone numbers in case we got separated.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, I received a text message from Qu Mo. I looked at Shen Bing like a thief. It is true that thieves are always guilty. Looking at the phone openly will not necessarily arouse Shen Bing's suspicion, but I am afraid. We are walking together, and we are so close to each other and we are still texting each other. If I say we are innocent, who will believe me
I had no choice but to say to them, "I'm going to go to the bathroom. You go ahead, I'll be right back."
Shen Bing pouted: "Lazy people are always troublesome!" She turned around and pulled Qu Mo forward, but Qu Mo turned back and smiled at me. That smile was so ambiguous that it made me feel a little embarrassed.
I ran behind the boulder, took out my phone and opened the text message. Qu Mo's short words explained the situation very clearly. The cave was not very big, but it was very eerie. There was a stone tomb inside, and in front of the stone tomb was a tablet with the words "Wushan Zhengshen" written on it.
What does Wushan Zhengshen mean? Wushan is in Chongqing, which is quite far from here. What does it have to do with Huangshan
Also, this cave is not big, how did Qu Mo stay in it for twenty minutes? I looked back at the straight pine tree, and it felt more and more mysterious. I regretted bringing Shen Bing here. If she hadn't come, Qu Mo might have taken me up to have a look. Now, I don't even have the chance to ask Qu Mo. There are many doubts that I can't answer clearly, and he must suffocate me to death.
As I was thinking, I realized that it was getting darker in front of me and the wind was blowing in the canyon. I looked up at the sky, which was covered with leaden clouds and looked very gloomy. It seemed that it was going to rain again soon.
