C79 tasting

"I'll give it a try. What's so amazing about it?" Although I knew that Qiu Tong was purposely provoking me, I still decided to be stubborn. I really don't think that the dry hole is scary, the snake and scorpion cave is scary, isn't the dry hole just a little lonely and dark? This stimulated my curiosity. It was extremely rare for me to have the chance to try the taste of the dry hole. After passing through this village, there would be no more shop for me.

I decided to give it a try. Firstly, I would counterattack Qiu Tong's provocation and secondly, satisfy my curiosity.

I guess Qiu Tong's intention was for me to really savor the taste of the dry hole, so that her words would be more persuasive.

"Fine, Old Qin, let him go down and try. Just based on what you have to say, I have to let him have a taste of reality, if not, his impression will not be deep, and he will experience the life of a dry hole." Qiu Tong said fiercely.

"Alright, let's give it a try then. It's also good for youngsters to try it. It's better to taste the taste of the dry hole and learn to value life and freedom more." Old Qin found a thick rope and tied it around my waist: "This hole is twenty meters deep, I will put you down. Three hours later, I will pull you up, if you can't take it anymore, I will pull you up."

When I heard that he really wanted to try, my heart couldn't help but tremble. However, in front of Qiu Tong, I couldn't act like a bear.

"Old Qin, is there water in this cave?" I heard my own voice trembling again. I looked at Qiu Tong, and saw that she was looking at me with ridicule in her eyes.

"This is the south slope, there's no water here!" The Old Qin said.

Old Qin began to place the rope bit by bit, and I started to go down bit by bit. I didn't bring any illumination tools.

The light quickly dimmed, and the little bit of light from the hole hung over my head. It grew farther and farther away from me, until it became a paper-cut moon above my head. Finally, my feet gave a thump. Then the stones were covered and the moon was gone and some sound and light and life were gone and I was left alone in the depths of the seven-story building at the center of the earth, a dry well, no, a real grave.

The darkness was like a tide, and the surroundings were deathly silent. When a person puts his hands in front of his eyes but sees nothing, his eyes lose their function like a blind person's, fear rises in him. At that moment, I realized that man was an animal that needed light. The darkness was reminiscent of death.

I used my hands to feel around the four walls. I estimated that the bottom of the dry hole is about four to five square meters of area. From time to time, I would stumble across some things, but I didn't dare to touch them.

The thought made my scalp tingle and my limbs go cold, and I bit my lip so hard I didn't make a sound.

But at this moment, I definitely could not shout, as that would make Qiu Tong laugh to her death.

I tried to convince myself not to think about those disgusting skeletons, to concentrate, to adjust my breathing, to sit down and start luck... Gradually, I entered a state, as if I had become the prisoner of death in the past …

The earth was silent, and there was no sound. I was like a lost lamb in a space without time, with no concept of time, no light, no sound, only the cold, damp, and rotting breath of the earth around me.

The darkness was pressing against my brain like a heavy stone, and I could hear my heart pounding, the blood running loudly in my veins. I could hear the dull rattle of rust on my joints and bones, and my eyes and ears were filled with hallucinations of silence.

At this point, I think I'm finished.

At this time, I thought of that terrifying night. If not for the Old Qin, Li Shun and I would have become eternal ghosts in the snake and scorpion cave, and that cave would have become my eternal resting place. From now on, there would no longer be an expert acting tough named Yi Ke in the world, and this mystery would never be solved by anyone.

Suddenly I heard something strange, really, because the dead silence had frozen, and my hearing became acute. My nerves tightened at once, and the sound became distinct and rustling, moving slowly somewhere above my head, like a mouse, like... Snakes!

My hair stood on end.

I was blind, blind, blind even to my own nose, and that meant I had no power to resist. I'm a little regretful, I shouldn't be so angry with Qiu Tong, shouldn't be so curious to experience this terrifying killing demon's nest.

I couldn't help but scream. What came out of my throat wasn't a shout, but a scream and a scream. To my surprise, deep in the soundless depths of the earth, I made a sound so loud that it sounded like a train siren, deafening me.

Then I fell into a daze. I don't know how long it took, or whether I was awake or asleep. In short, in the midst of the chaos, people can't tell the difference between reality and illusion, between thought and reality.

A narrow line of light began to appear above me, like a thin silver line, curving down from the sky. Then the opening of the cave slowly opened, and the full moon rose high again, and the light returned to my world.

I pinched my thigh. It hurt.

I slapped myself, and a burning pain spread across my cheek. I now believed that I was still f * cking awake and that all of this was real and that the Old Qin had begun to bring me back to the surface.

I suddenly felt that the best thing in the world was to have light, to have the sun, to live and breathe, to have someone to talk to, to live among people like you, and not to live in darkness and dead bodies...

In the process of slowly rising upwards, my tears immediately flowed down as I silently cried, as if I had survived a great calamity and survived a great calamity …

On the ground, I was paralyzed for at least 20 minutes before I regained my strength. I found myself a little demented, confused, and suspicious of time and direction.

Qiu Tong tightened her face and said to me: "Do you know what it feels like to be a dry hole? Let me tell you, if you continue to work with Li Shun, this will be the result of both your spirit and your body. "

Old Qin's voice echoed in my ears, "What three hours? It's only been one hour and ten minutes. I know you can't hold on … "In the past, those expert warriors who made mistakes and got punished, each one was wilder than the other. Those who didn't make it for more than three days, would bite off their arteries and commit suicide while they were still alive."

I stood up in a daze, did not speak, did not try to be brave, and followed Old Qin down the mountain silently.

Walking up the hill, I saw a spectacular graveyard, hundreds of graves in a valley in the middle of the valley, surrounded by dense jungle.

"This is one of the Mausoleum of Martyr's gardens back in the days of the Maine. This is the Mausoleum of Books, and the ones buried here are the young warriors who died in battle." The Old Qin said with a solemn expression.

My heart shook, Qiu Tong's expression seemed to be shocked, we silently walked towards the tombs.

Suddenly, Qiu Tong's body started to tremble violently, and said: "Old Qin, these tombstones …. The tombstones are all facing north. "

When Qiu Tong said this, I just noticed it. Thousands of graves, all of them were facing the north!

"We're all Chinese... homesickness … I won't be able to return alive. Even if I die, I have to face my homeland. " Old Qin said, "The tombs of all the Chinese in Golden Triangle are facing north. After all, our ancestors lived in the north and we are connected to them by blood, so we fear them and live on forever."

At that moment, I suddenly burst into tears, tears streaming down my face.

He looked at Qiu Tong, and her eyes also started to tear up.

Following Old Qin, Qiu Tong and I knelt down and kowtowed three times to the dead, to my Senior Qing Wen, and to the soul of my fellow countryman who was tied up in a dream.

After a day of trekking and danger, Old Qin finally brought Qiu Tong and I back to Tengchong.

Qiu Tong and I will be staying at the Tengchong Port Wine. After settling us down, the Old Qin immediately went back to look for Li Shun.

Qiu Tong and I live next to each other. In the hotel's coffee shop, Qiu Tong and I started a conversation.

"Yi Ke, after this matter is concluded, you must leave Li Shun." Qiu Tong said with an unquestionable tone, "snake and scorpion cave, you almost went in. You have experienced the taste of dry hole, if you continue to follow Li Shun, you will meet your end. Not only your body, but also your mind."

I was silent.

"Li Shun is already a wild horse with no one to control him, so I can only do my best to help. However, I don't want to see you walk into the abyss that will never recover from, step by step, because you are my savior. You saved my life, so I want to repay you and also save you." Qiu Tong continued to speak, "If a person does not know how to go the wrong way, they can be forgiven. But if they know it's a mistake and they still commit it, then it's unforgivable."

I continued to stay silent as Yuan Duo appeared in my mind. If I didn't follow him, where would I get the money needed for Yuan Duo's illness? With Li Shun, this was the fastest way to earn money.

Qiu Tong said: "I know that you followed Li Shun to do this, to earn money for Yuan Duo's medical treatment. From a certain perspective, it is also a bit forced, but this isn't all of the reasons.

Before I came, the doctor had thoroughly checked Yuan Duo's body. Other than her brain and body perception, which had not completely recovered yet, the other organs and functions of Yuan Duo were all good, just like a normal person. In other words, as long as Yuan Duo regained consciousness, she would be a normal person.

The doctor said that in order to avoid damaging Yuan Duo's internal organs, the next step would be to gradually reduce the amount of medicinal treatment and use more of the Spirit and Tactile Therapy. This also means that the cost would be greatly reduced as well.

When I heard this, my spirit was lifted and my face revealed a look of joy and excitement.

"From the current situation, there's no need to spend so much money." Qiu Tong said, "Don't you still have the 100 thousand that Li Shun gave me? This 100 thousand, you give it to me. I will use this money to treat Yuan Duo's illness. "

"Mm, I'll give it to you when I get back!" I nodded.

"Yi Ke, I once again request for you to leave Li Shun, do you think that's possible?" Qiu Tong asked in an inquiring tone, but his tone seemed to carry a trace of an order.
