"What's going on?" I asked breathlessly, already feeling slightly uneasy in my heart.
"We just shouted several times, but Chen Mo didn't respond. My stepmother and I felt something was wrong, so we used a xenon lamp to shine it. The cave was empty and there was nothing." Xiangyu looked very nervous, and felt that the tone of his voice was disturbing.
Incoherent.
"Professor Wang and I thought that there might be some kind of secret door hidden at the bottom of the cave. Chen Mo might have discovered it and walked in, so I asked Xiangyu to call you back to discuss and study whether to go down and take a look.
Look." Zhang Jisheng said.
"Zhou Cang, you just went down there, what was the situation down there like?" Wang Zhishui asked.
"It's very spacious down there, much larger than the entrance of the cave. The four walls are made of stones similar to those on the river beach, and the ground is made of muddy soil." I tried my best to explain it in detail. In fact, because of the leaf-cutting ants, I basically couldn't.
I didn't pay much attention to the structure of the entire cave and whether there was anything on the stone wall.
"Is there anything special about it?" Zhang Jisheng asked.
"I don't seem to find anything special." I said.
"What should we do now? I don't know where Chen Mo has gone. Are we still waiting for him at the entrance of the cave?" Xiang Yu asked.
"When we searched the bottom of the cave just now, we found no ants," Wang Zhishui said. "According to what you said, the four walls at the bottom of the cave were suddenly covered with ants, but these ants suddenly disappeared. I
I think this cave is a bit weird."
"I'll go down and take a look. We can't leave Chen Mo alone." Zhang Jisheng said, "You guys stay at the entrance of the cave. If there are really ants eating people, we won't be completely wiped out. We still have foreign aid."
"Jisheng, I'll go," I took Zhang Jisheng's hand and said, "Anyway, I've just been bitten once and I don't care about the second time. Besides, if there is really danger, Chen Mo will still listen to me.
I can convince him to come up."
Zhang Jisheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He told me several times to pay attention to safety, otherwise I would not be able to explain it to my grandparents in the future.
My skills are not as good as Chen Mo's, so I can only tie the vine around my waist and let Zhang Jisheng and Wang Zhishui lower me slowly.
The ants in the hole really disappeared. I don't know if they were driven away by Chen Mo or crawled away on their own.
The cave is not big. I looked around for a week, but I didn't see Chen Mo.
"Zhou Cang, how are you? Is the cave safe?" Zhang Jisheng shouted from the entrance of the cave.
"Jisheng, the ants crawled away."
"Have you found any problems?" Xiangyu asked.
"not yet."
I looked around at the four walls of the cave, but the wall where the mural had just appeared was empty, just like the other three walls.
Could it be that that picture was composed spontaneously by ants?
I slid my fingers on the stone wall, looking for any mechanism, because it was impossible for a person like Chen Mo to suddenly disappear in the cave.
The stone wall is very slippery and must have been carefully polished after being excavated.
Chen Mo entered the cave after seeing the ant mural I photographed. Could it be possible that there was something in that painting that I overlooked.
Thinking of this, I quickly took out my phone, opened the picture and looked at it carefully.
But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find anything unusual.
Suddenly, I noticed that the circle of light reflected from the entrance of the stone cave seemed to be gone, and I couldn't help but look up.
The top of my head was pitch black.
The entrance to the cave has actually disappeared.
"Xiangyu, Jisheng," I blurted out twice, but there was no response.
This, what kind of scene is this? Did they seal the entrance to the cave?
My heart was beating fast, remembering that my parents were trapped in this cave, and there was a strange aura coming from all around.
It was pitch black in the cave. I turned on the xenon lamp and looked around. The cave was still the same cave. Could it be that the person above me really wanted to trap me here?
But they don't have any motive.
This cave is very clean without any bones, which means that if my father could get out of here, there must be a way.
I comforted my already troubled and restless heart, but I knew subconsciously that walking out of this cave by myself would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Hey, suddenly a trace of doubt flashed through my mind, as if I had just used the hernia lamp to illuminate the surroundings, and something caught my eye. I hesitated and turned the hernia lamp to the top of my head.
For a moment, I felt like I was going to pee from fear.
A big face actually appeared above the head where the hole used to be.
It felt like there was a person lying at the entrance of the cave looking at me, so that the entire entrance was filled.
I tried my best to calm myself down, even though cold sweat was already running down my thighs.
Maybe it's because I'm dazzled.
I calmed myself down and looked up again with the xenon lamp. This time I stayed longer, and I roughly saw clearly that the face was actually a relief sculpture carved on the stone wall at the top of the cave.
The carving craftsman must be a master, because not only the eyebrows and eyes are lifelike, but even the charm is portrayed.
The stone relief is of a woman.
The big stone face showed a look that was not smiling but slightly angry. It felt like I had usurped something that should have belonged to her.
I was terrified by her stare.
Chen Mo disappeared in this cave. There should be something like a secret door in it.
I took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then started groping on the stone wall.
I felt that if there was a secret door or mechanism, it would be on the stone wall where the ant had just finished painting. Therefore, I stopped there for a long time and kept knocking, but there was no response at all on that stone wall.
It's a bit empty in the cave, it's cool and there's no life at all. I even miss the moment when the rock walls were covered with ants. At least I know that my teammates are above me, and the sun is also above me.
In this situation, I don't even know if I can see the sun again.
"Chen Mo, Chen Mo," I don't know why, in this situation, I actually wanted to find Chen Mo from the bottom of my heart, thinking that if he was here, there should be a way.
At this time, I suddenly heard a faint sound similar to the sound of knocking stones on the stone wall where the ant made the painting.
As if I was seeing the savior, I took out the engineer shovel from my backpack and started banging on the stone wall.
Sure enough, another sound came from the stone wall.
"Chen Mo." I couldn't help but feel excited.
However, at this moment, the sound on the stone wall disappeared again.
I suddenly became nervous again.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong, and I looked up suddenly. The relief above my head had changed its face.
It was a man, grinning, but with a fierce look.
I suddenly understood the despair of my mother in the recorder, because I was in such a state at this moment.
This hole is always changing, and I feel like I am almost scared to death.
My back was leaning against the stone wall, otherwise I always felt like there was something behind me in the dark, ready to attack me.
If I had known this, I should have listened to my grandpa and stayed in the Zhou family's old house obediently. What kind of trouble would I go out to wade in. I regretted it, and the despair in my heart became stronger every moment.
Suddenly, there was a huge force dragging me backwards, causing me to lean backwards.
