My throat is already smoking, and my feet are very sore. This is a sign of poor physical fitness. When I go out, I will no longer be as stiff and decadent as before. I must take care of my body.
When the time comes, I will sell one or two antiques, make a lot of money, and buy a truckload of all the good and expensive nutritional and health care products on the market, so that I can nourish and recuperate my body.
"The stalagmite forest is about to appear ahead." Mao Tianlin suddenly stopped and stared ahead.
"Yeah! Really."
When I heard that we were about to finish our journey, I shook the empty kettle and immediately became energetic. I looked forward, but there were still dense stalagmites. My mood suddenly dropped to the extreme, "Little girl...ah! No, Qi Ye"
, you can’t say this just to comfort me, right? The allusion of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst is a method used only by that treacherous minister of Cao Cao, and it doesn’t match your style.”
"Look from here." Mao Tianlin pointed to the gap between the two stalagmites without explaining anything.
I glanced from the center of the gap, and sure enough, I could vaguely see some open space, maybe it really wasn't that far away.
It's a good thing to have hope. We all got excited and followed Maotianlin. Sure enough, the further we went, the stalagmites became less dense. Finally, we passed the last stalagmite.
My eyes became wider and brighter, and I breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
I really wanted to sing a song loudly to express my relieved mood after being suppressed for a long time, but I was afraid of attracting some messy things, so I thought it would be better to hold it back.
"Do you want to take a rest?" Shen Yuan asked.
"Wait and take a rest."
Although I was very tired and my feet were very uncomfortable, I didn’t want to stop here, saying, “Seeing these stalagmites, I feel bad, so I’ll walk a little further.”
"Okay." Shen Yuan agreed.
"I don't understand."
As I walked, I said to Shen Yuan, "Why are there so many stalagmites in the passage? It would be fine if we deliberately set up a trap or trap. At least it has the purpose and meaning of its existence, but the problem is that we are walking along the way.
When I walked over, there was nothing inside, and not a hair touched it. Could it be that the purpose of these stalagmites is to make people who pass by fearful and waste time! Do you think there is something wrong with it?"
"Is it to block someone or something?" Shen Yuan said.
"Crazy, why don't you build a wall to stop others."
I said: "Others say that people are old and spiritual, and ghosts are old and spiritual. It's better for you. The longer you live, the more you go back. You can dig so many stalagmites and place them there. The stones and time used are enough to build thousands of sarcophagi for you."
Free of charge for each sarcophagus
Even if I give you a stone tablet, there is still something left. When you die, you can sleep in another coffin every day. If you have the time, why not just seal this place."
"Don't get excited, Boss Ye."
Shen Yuan said: "Building walls is for blocking, and stalagmites are for thinning. Blocking has the function of blocking, and thinning has the purpose of thinning. If you are familiar with history, you should know that the function of some military formations is somewhat similar to this stalagmite forest, which is to disperse the enemy."
If you have enough power, divide it and rape it."
That's right! What Shen Yuan said seems to make sense. If tens of thousands of troops rush through the stalagmite forest, they can easily deal with it as long as a thousand people gather on the opposite side, because these tens of thousands of troops will be dispersed into countless small teams by the dense stalagmites.
, don't care about the head and tail, can't combine the left and right, just go and kill the enemy.
"So I think that this stalagmite forest was set up by the Qin army when they first built the Eternal Life Palace to prevent the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Zhao from suddenly rebelling... No, no!"
Before Shen Yuan finished speaking, he immediately overturned this idea, saying: "Even if the troops surrender and rebel, in this kind of passage, one man can guard ten thousand people, and ten thousand people can't open it. There is no need for stalagmites. Even if they are used, there are still many people."
Stalagmites are more useful, more practical things, such as Jumazhuang... Sigh, I really don’t understand! But Boss Ye, I believe we will always know the answer."
"Forget it, forget it, it's useless to ask you."
Shen Yuan did not disappoint me. I rolled my eyes at Shen Yuan and said, "Do you still have some water? My throat is about to burst into flames. I'm going to kill you, young master."
Shen Yuan took out his own water bottle and handed it to me. I took it and drank a few sips quickly. A cool feeling flowed in my throat, which was very comfortable.
He screwed the lid of the kettle on and gave it back to Shen Yuan, "Why do you still have so much water in your kettle? Mine has been drunk long ago."
Shen Yuan said: "There is so much water in the underground river, why don't you fill it up yourself?"
I was stunned for a moment, and pointed at Shen Yuan with my trembling hand, "You... you... the water in your kettle is from the underground river here?"
"Otherwise!"
Shen Yuan put the kettle back into his backpack and said, "We have been here for so long, and the water in the kettle has been drained long ago."
"This...this water is drinkable!"
My voice suddenly rose an octave, and I pointed at the underground river and roared loudly: "Don't you know that hundreds of thousands of people died in this place? Ah! Your uncle asked me to drink the water where the dead bodies were soaked!"
"It's not the underground river of Humen Bianhua."
Shen Yuan quickly said: "I pretended it when I was shocked."
"real!"
Actually, I don't believe what Shen Yuan said. He first entered Jingmen, but now the water in the kettle is almost full. It is impossible for him to get here from Jingmen.
I haven’t had a sip for such a long time, but I didn’t dare to get to the bottom of my heart. I was afraid of the truth and said, “You didn’t lie to me!”
"No, no."
Shen Yuan waved his hand quickly and said, "Boss Ye, how could I, an old man of several decades, lie to you?"
This sentence makes sense. Old people are generally very kind. Even a bad old man like Shen Yuan. Although he is wretched, unreliable, and always trying to defeat me, he is still an old man in the final analysis. He should not lie to me. I
I'm trying hard to convince myself.
"Brother Ye Zi, it's okay to drink the water from Bianhuahua."
Wu Zijin said: "When you fell, your stomach was swollen from drinking. I rubbed your stomach for a long time, and you vomited a lot..."
Shen Yuan covered Wu Zijin's mouth. I also covered my own mouth, but I didn't. All the water I had just moistened my throat spit out.
Everyone was silent and walked forward silently. I had a gloomy face and didn’t want to say a word. I didn’t even dare to think about it. Although I knew that the water shouldn’t poison me, when I thought about the water
Hundreds of thousands of people died there, whoever it was would be very uncomfortable.
"Brother Ye..." Wu Zijin called me in a low voice.
"Shut up!"
I didn’t even look at him. I felt very conflicted and couldn’t curse even if I wanted to. After all, he was the one who helped me spit out water and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He saved my life after all. I couldn’t be ungrateful. “No one will die if you don’t speak.”
"No, I mean the underground river." Wu Zijin did not give up.
"vomit……"
I can't hear these keywords now, otherwise they will touch my fragile heart: "Shut up, sir, okay?"
"No, no!"
Wu Zijin continued: "Didn't you find something wrong with the underground river?"
I frowned, and while walking, I took a look at the underground river next to me. It was very calm, and there was no boiling scene like when the flower appeared. But it seemed, something was a little bit wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
.
Shen Yuan stopped and said, "Oh no, something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Shen Yuan said: "When we entered Xiumen, the underground river was on the right, but now the underground river is on our left."
After Shen Yuan said this, I suddenly thought of this. When we came out of the stalagmite forest, we had been thinking and discussing the purpose of the stalagmite forest. We did not pay attention to the underground river. It was only now that we discovered that it was always on the right.
The slowly flowing underground river reached his left.
Shen Yuan lowered his head and murmured: "We may be walking back again."
