"Sister Bao'er, when you came to this cave last night, was it so hot here?"
"Yes, it's very hot..."
"Although it's very hot, I don't seem to feel any discomfort... If it's possible, let's rest at the entrance of the cave tonight?
There will be a lot of firewood left at night..."
Chuan Bao'er held a torch and, surrounded by his companions, stepped on the broken stones and led everyone deeper and deeper into the cave.
The heat is rolling here.
I don’t know where such heat comes from, but when ordinary people are exposed to it, they can’t help but feel confused and dizzy under the heat.
If Chua Bao'er went to the depths of the cave alone this time, he would inevitably become dizzy and have a blurred perception of his various experiences in the cave.
Fortunately, she was heading into the cave with a few companions, chatting among themselves, and keeping her thoughts active to prevent her mind from getting too groggy.
Phew! Phew!
The torch in Chuan Bao'er's hand seemed to burn more intensely under the invisible heat swept by it.
The flames flashed, reflecting the surrounding scene.
Clusters of pythons snake like snakes on the cave wall. The stone veins in the cracks of the gravel all originate from the vague stone statue in the deepest part of the cave. These veins, like tree roots, are in the cave. They are densely intertwined, and it is precisely because of their existence that countless stones here have broken apart.
Looking at those mountain root veins, Chuan Bao'er even suspected that the reason why this cave could be connected to the mountain temple outside was precisely because these mountain root veins continued to meander outward, eventually collapsing the adjacent temple outside. The temple wall of the mountain temple is built on the mountain, so that the two are completely connected.
What are these veins that look like pythons or tree roots?
Will they really march like dragons and snakes?
"Is this the Golden Water River?"
"It's really golden water..."
Chua Bao'er was thinking to himself when suddenly the voice of Sister Qiao'er and Yu Jiaren couldn't hide her excitement and trembled in her ears.
She collected her thoughts, raised her eyes and looked forward, and saw a golden stream slowly flowing under the veins of mountain roots. The light of the torch in her hand swayed, making the golden scales on the stream shine brightly.
"Yes, it's this creek..."
When Chuan Baoer saw the golden stream, he subconsciously lowered his voice.
She followed the 'golden water stream' and looked towards the end of the cave - a three-foot-tall statue of a god with a handsome face and a majestic body was sitting at the end of the cave.
A series of grey-white, stone-like 'tails' grew out from behind 'it'. Those tails covered the area below its waist, only showing its burly and majestic upper body.
Mountain root veins surround it, and these many mountain root veins all have it as their source.
I wonder if it was Chua Bao'er's own illusion - she felt that the cracks all over the body of the statue of the god today seemed to have been closed a lot, and there was little golden blood flowing out of the cracks around it.
Chubao'er looked at the statue of the god intently, and several companions gathered around her also looked up at the statue, each holding their breath.
An inexplicable 'feeling' lingers here.
There are clearly only a few prostitutes here who are alive, but when they are here, they have the feeling that there are other living people here, silently paying attention to their every move.
The eyes of the third person who is paying attention to him are clear and unblemished.
"Everyone, please go to the stream and wash yourself...
After I soaked in this stream last night, all the sores on my body were healed." Chua Bao'er lowered her head, not daring to look at the face of the statue of the god. She suppressed her voice and spoke softly.
said the companions.
The prostitutes also relaxed their movements and whispered in agreement.
They did not step into the stream in a daze like Chua Bao'er did before.
Everyone untied their belts in unison and took off their tattered clothes, revealing a skinny flesh shell riddled with holes and wounds. This shriveled and thin body had no sense of beauty at all.
After taking off their clothes, the prostitutes lined up and walked into the "Golden Water Stream".
The stream water submerged their calves, waists, necks, and even over their heads. Everyone bathed silently in the stream, and with the help of Chubao'er, climbed up to the shore and put on their clothes again.
The Jinshui River flowing between the veins of the mountain roots has obviously shrunk a lot after several prostitutes took a bath.
The water in the stream, which could have reached several people's heads, is now only as deep as Chui Bao'er's knees.
Chubao'er asked his companions who had put on clothes: "How is it?"
Do you feel better?"
The prostitutes had put on their clothes and were hesitant for a moment after hearing the words.
They pondered for a moment, and Qiaoer was the first to speak up: "I just feel itchy everywhere on my body, from the joints of my bones. I don't know if this is a sign that my condition is getting better?"
Cui'er, Yu Jiaren, and Sun Dou'er all nodded in agreement when they heard Qiao'er's words - they all had similar feelings.
Chuan Baoer blinked his eyes, and his fair face looked particularly charming under the firelight: "I also felt itchy all over my body at that time. Is this supposed to be a sign that the condition is getting better?
Don't be anxious, even recovery from the disease will take some time.
Didn’t I just sleep all night and recover the next day? There’s no rush..."
Her words immediately calmed down the hesitant companions.
Someone smiled and said, "I feel relieved to hear you say that."
"We took a dip in this Golden Water Stream, and the water in it suddenly decreased a lot. It can be seen that the golden water inside was probably absorbed by our bodies. At this moment, without us knowing it,
Help us heal our illness!"
"I feel like my body is getting more and more itchy..." Cui'er was chatting and laughing with her companions. Suddenly she felt that her body was getting more and more itchy, so she couldn't help but reach out to scratch the skin on her neck, and as soon as she scratched it, big chunks came off.
Dead skin, tender red skin revealed under the dead skin!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When everyone saw the situation on her neck, their eyes immediately became surprised.
The bayberry sores on Cui'er's neck fell off and new skin grew in a short period of time, which proved that their bathing in the golden water stream was indeed effective!
This golden water stream can really help them heal the sores on their bodies!
"The bayberry sores are gone!"
"The bayberry sores on my body have also started to fall off!"
"We can be saved! We can be saved!"
Sensing the changes in themselves, the prostitutes hugged each other and cried with joy!
Chuan Bao'er also had a smile on her face and gently patted the backs of the crying sisters to help them calm down. While whispering to soothe the sisters, she raised her eyes to look at the statue of the god sitting cross-legged at the end of the cave:
"Surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune in the future. The old saying is indeed true...
We were all driven out of the big hut and were about to die. We were supposed to struggle in this barren mountain for two or three days, and finally died completely in the barren mountain... Who would have thought? We also have such a fate, which is something God does not want to end.
our way...
This is...this is it, this god has given us this good fortune..."
"Yes! It was the blood shed from this god's body that helped us heal the sores on our bodies!
Let’s kowtow to this immortal grandfather!”
"good!"
“It’s time to kowtow to this immortal grandfather!”
"After we leave the mountain, we have to find a way to come back and rebuild the temple for the old man and build a golden body!"
The prostitutes were sobbing, and when someone made the suggestion first, they all turned around and kowtowed to the statue of the god that was more than three feet high. Chubao'er followed her companions and kowtowed to the god. She kowtowed three times respectfully.
Afterwards, she looked up again to see the face of the statue of the god - at this moment, she suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.
——The statue that lowered its head and looked down at its feet seemed to have raised its eyelids at this moment!
This statue of a god is actually alive?!
Chuan Baoer suddenly had an idea in his heart!
At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded far behind me.
Tread! Tread! Tread!
Although the sound of footsteps seemed far away from everyone, it still weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
Along with the sound of footsteps, a strong cold air rushed into the cave, sweeping away the lingering heat. The cold air hit the backs of the prostitutes, causing a layer of chicken skin to appear all over their bodies.
pimple!
Chuan Bao'er didn't bother to observe the changes in the statue's face, and suddenly turned his head to look back——
Outside the cave, in the dim mountain temple, a tall figure was stepping into the cave!
The silhouette of that figure looked extremely familiar to Chuan Bao'er!
"Boss Wang!"
The moment Chubao'er recognized the figure, Sister Cui'er beside her had already screamed in surprise!
——That tall figure was the leader of the group of thugs who sent them into the mountains!
