I was so frightened that I was out of my body. I tried my best to push on something with my feet, but the place where my heels touched was extremely smooth. The wall of the cave seemed to be greased. I rushed to the bottom like a shuttle, and the smooth
The cave wall suddenly became dry and rough, and the downward momentum was suddenly blocked. My body immediately turned over and fell heavily to the ground. My bones felt as if they were falling apart. I felt like there were stars in my eyes. What kind of place is this? I believe anyone can reach this place like me.
When I was able to be as calm as I was, I was one of the extraordinary ones. I fell in here without any mental preparation. I don’t know what’s inside. Maybe it’s a giant snake. I don’t know.
I had already lost my sense of direction in the tumbling just now, the stars dispersed, and everything in front of me was pitch black.
I had no choice but to struggle to get up first, groping forward in the darkness with both hands, and soon touched the hard cave wall, so I held on to it with my hands, one foot in front and one behind, and tentatively walked forward. I mean
Where did you come in and where did you get out?
I wanted to open my mouth and call out to the three dogs, but I immediately shut my mouth. I really didn’t know what would happen if I made the sound. Besides, when I climbed up just now, the three dogs were clearly in front of me. Why did I
He fell but he was fine? If he slipped away silently like me, I should have hit him. It seems that today it was just me who fell into the hole, and Sangou should still be on top.
I didn't know how far I had walked in the darkness, and I realized that I was walking in the opposite direction. Although I couldn't see with my eyes, there was no way I could have walked for so long and still not reach the place where I just slipped down.
In addition, I obviously felt that the temperature here was higher than before. I understood the reason. The direction I was walking in was a bit downhill. I widened my eyes and finally caught a little light, far away.
Like a star, but it seems motionless
Now I've temporarily let my curiosity take over my inner fear
All animals have phototaxis, and I am an animal too
I touched it carefully, thinking that the bright light was definitely not the eye of a snake. Even if it was a one-eyed snake, it would not emit such light. The closer I got, the more my scalp became numb and the hairs stood on end.
When I got there, I realized that it was a firefly. I wondered how there could be fireflies in a place like this. In this season, there should be no such insects. Then I suddenly realized that it was probably due to the high temperature underground. I stretched out a finger.
, and pressed towards the bright spot emitted by the bug, until there was a popping sound, and my body broke when I pressed it, but it did not take off. I don’t know why, but as I continued forward, there were more and more bright spots, and it started to look like one or two dots.
Later, it was ten o'clock, and the sparks remained motionless on the wall. As we walked further, they became densely packed, and the trend of the holes was also outlined. In the past, when I didn't wear them, the trees on both sides of the street would be covered with twinkling sparks during festivals.
String lights, this is how it feels at night
I found that the cave walls covered with fireflies were still gradually going downwards, and the cave was getting more and more stuffy. The teacher once told us that the earth has had magma activity in the past and present.
The total heat dissipated from the surface into the atmosphere every year is about 2.6 calories, which is then multiplied by ten to the twentieth power. The average geothermal gradient on land is about 25 degrees per kilometer, that is, every time it goes down
Kilometer, the temperature should rise by 25 degrees. You don’t have to go that far. According to this trend, if you go down half a kilometer, the temperature will be like the tropics.
I dare not go any further and go deep alone. As the temperature rises, I can't guarantee that there will be poisonous snakes living inside.
I turned around and walked back, holding on to the cave wall with both hands. My speed was much faster than before. Soon, I touched the slippery slope and immediately climbed up using my hands and feet. The road became more slippery as I went up. Fortunately, the cave wall was
It gets narrower and narrower as you go up, and I can't help but wonder how I fell in just now?
For a long time, I felt a gust of cool wind blowing on my face, and heard Sangou's hoarse cry: "Brother Tian Zong...where are you...wuwuwu...Mom..."
I pried open the dense grass growing at the entrance of the hole, and got out as if giving birth. I shivered a lot, and followed the sound with my eyes to look for it.
I found Sangou sitting with his bare buttocks diagonally above me not far from me, on a protruding rock, hugging a small tree nearby, facing the direction of Mo Island and crying. It seemed that he had been crying for a while, and the sound
Not high-pitched at all
Afraid of scaring him, I coughed, and he immediately stopped crying and crawled towards me. I was afraid that he would knock me in again, so I shouted to him, "Don't move!" Sangou stopped immediately and I walked over.
I pulled Sangou's hand and I could feel it shaking. I said, "Why are you crying? I'm not dead."
"But I...I thought you..."
"What, you think I'm dead? Be careful tomorrow I tell you about your crying!"
Sangou pointed behind me and said, "Look, there's an orgasm."
I turned around and took a look, and sure enough, it turned out that the section of slope we climbed up had been submerged in the sea water. It should be about a foot below the entrance of the cave. The waves were beating against the rocks on the shore, making a low roar.
sound
It turns out that the slipperiness in the cave was caused by sea water splashing into it after the sea level rose.
Sangou and I waited until the afternoon of the next day, after the tide went out, before we started swimming back. When we got to the rising island, it was dark and we couldn't see anything clearly. We got up in the morning and picked some wild fruits.
I only swam a third of the distance to satisfy my hunger, and my legs and feet became weak. It became increasingly difficult for Sangou to crawl, and I was about to die.
Far ahead we found the scattered islets we had encountered when we came, but the clothes we took off on them had long since disappeared. The three dogs also knew that the day was not far away, so they swam again after a while of hard work.
far away
Three small boats came over like arrows. General Ji was standing on the bow of the first boat. Sangou told me his name was Ji Da. I saw that he was one of Tian Wang's three guardians. Now I know who he is.
name
On the bow of the second boat stood General Meng Gushang, who was also the personal guardian of King Tian.
The third boat was Su Lang. After Jida found me and Sangou, I heard him shouting to the people behind him from a distance, "These two boys are here, we can go back and give orders to the King of Tian!"
I was soaking in the water and felt extremely dissatisfied with him calling us, especially calling me "boy". However, after people dragged us to the boat in all kinds of ways, I believe General Ji may have to reconsider the name he used to call me.
Got it
Because I found that the moment I got on the boat, he glanced at my lower body in surprise, but said nothing. Although I was hungry and cold, I still had confidence in myself.
As soon as we landed, Sangou was taken home by his mother. As for me, because I was King Tian's servant, I was taken directly back to the palace by the three generals. General Su went in to report
I didn't know what the king would do to me, and I felt a little uneasy. I forgot about the cold even when I stood in front of the steps. After a while, I saw my father Tian En running out of the mansion in a hurry. He looked very disgraceful when he saw me.
, took off his clothes and put them on me, I immediately took them off and wrapped them around my waist
My dad led me back home, but there was no anger on his face as I expected, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face. I told him everything in detail without waiting for him to ask.
He only said, "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that such a big thing would alert King Tian, and he would send three generals down to look for you all day long!"
I'm just a slave who looks like a teenager, but I know I'm not young anymore. It's hard to find many leaders like this in the world!
My dad only sat there for a short while and then disappeared again, but Xiaoyue arrived. I think the news from the mansion had reached the inner house. When she saw me, she blushed for no reason. She said,
"You come with me"
I didn't know what was going on, so I had to follow him. One after another, we passed through the screen wall, then passed through the moon gate, and arrived at the back house.
It was my first time coming here, and I didn’t know whether Tian Zonglai had been here before, so I had to pretend to be polite, not squinting, and making no sound. I saw Xiaoyue standing in front of a house on the west side.
Determined to announce to the inside of the door curtain:
"Miss, Tian Zong brought it"
My head buzzed, and there was a brief black vision in front of my eyes. I only heard a female voice inside say: "Come in."
Come in, come in, come in, come,...
"painting!……"
I was shaking, my whole body was shaking. I pulled the curtain and rushed in. Xiaoyue suddenly turned around and looked at me with a pale face, which made me wake up instantly.
I saw a Wang Hua with completely different attire, waist, hips, neck, and demeanor. I was stunned as soon as I entered the door, and looked straight at her. With the circles in my eyes, I knew she was not Wang Hua.
But I can't lie to myself
Satsuki coughs
Should I kneel? Hold my fists?
The young lady was sitting on a wooden bench with her back to me. She turned her head, looked at me, smiled, and asked, "What did you do yesterday?"
What did you do yesterday? Is this what she was asking me? I remembered that Wang Hua asked me this before I put on my clothes and before going to bed, "What did you do yesterday?"
The first sentence Tian Hua asked me was this sentence again
I looked at her with my eyes wide open, not shying away at all, because I had another moment of black vision. "Hua... no... Sangou and I are going to Zhangdao."
"Is the island fun?" Tian Hua looked at the clothes that didn't fit me. They belonged to my dad.
"Okay... okay... okay," this is what I said from the bottom of my heart. It was so good to see her. There was no reason for such a coincidence. Their names were both called Hua, and their voices and looks were exactly the same. Why?
"Well, tell me again when you have time, Xiaoyue," she turned to Xiaoyue: "Go to the accounting room and say something, and just do what my mother said and make Tian Zong some clothes."
"Yes," Xiaoyue responded
It just came out and I haven't woken up from the dream yet
In the next few days, I dreamed about seeing the painting again. My dad thought I was sick. I put on new clothes, but I was miserable all day long. However, she seemed to have forgotten that I was just a slave in her family.
It was a bad day
But I did get to know a few more people. Maybe Tian Zong in front of me had known them for a long time, but for me, everything had to start from scratch. For example, General Ji, one of Tian Wang's three personal soldiers, although from the appearance of
He was quite easy-going, but I still saw from his glance a murderous aura that couldn't be faked like someone who had done it with real swords and guns on the battlefield.
