Chapter 7: Weird ()

The sudden extinguishing of the torch made my eyes suddenly turn dark. I tried hard to open my eyes wide and wanted to see the surrounding environment as clearly as possible. But because the place I was in was too far from the entrance of the cave, I could not see anything at all. I hurriedly groped in my pocket and wanted to reignite the torch as soon as possible.

At this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps not far from me.

I immediately held my breath and focused on distinguishing the sound. Yes, it was the sound of footsteps, which was very close to me. Obviously, the footsteps were gradually approaching me, and I deliberately took my steps lighter in order to prevent me from being discovered.

My heart suddenly rose to my throat, pressed against the wall, and slowly squatted down, thus reducing the area of ​​attack I was attacked. As my squatting movement made a slight sound, the footsteps stopped, as if I was judging my actions.

I squatted on the ground, trembling constantly, and felt extremely scared. There must be some animals or people in the place close to me. I don’t know if the other party can see me, but at least I can’t see the other party.

I immediately gave up the idea of ​​re-lit the torch because I couldn't determine whether the other party could see my position. If I light the torch now, it would undoubtedly be a better choice for the other party to determine the target of the attack.

Turn around and escape? Or watch it? I quickly analyzed the current situation in my mind. Judging from the confrontation stage for dozens of seconds, the other party should not be able to see me. If it is a beast that can see things at night, it usually has a pair of night-like eyes. At present, the other party should not have such a function. But if I turn around and escape, it may not be easy. I can stand and run out, but when I get to the entrance of the cave, it becomes a very narrow passage, and I can only crawl out there. In this way, I will inevitably be caught. It seems that the only way to save my life is to squat here and not move, and try not to make a sound. After the other party mistakenly thinks that there is no one here, he may leave, and then I will be confident that I will escape from the cave.

I held the amulet on my neck in my hand, and silently prayed in my heart that my auspicious appearance was the best. The amulet will definitely bless me to escape this disaster like before. I am afraid that this is all I can do now.

At this moment, a sudden sound of footsteps on the ground came from beside me, followed by a squirm of wind that passed by my head, and fell behind me with a bang. I was so scared that I burst into cold sweat, knowing that the other party was about to attack, and instinctively looked behind me. At the same time, a strong light shone on my face.

My eyes had just adapted to the darkness, and when I was shining by this strong light, my eyes suddenly became bright and I couldn't see anything.

In a vague way, I saw a figure rushing towards me and reaching out to grab my face. I subconsciously wanted to hide, but the other party was too fast and I was pinched before I could react.

At this time, I had already seen the other person's face clearly. He was a person with long and dirty hair and beard. His face was covered with dirt, like a beggar. The light that shone on my face turned out to be a flashlight.

I was pinched by him. Before I could scream, the man suddenly exerted his fingers. I felt my cheeks hurt so naturally. The man pinched my mouth, looked up and down in my mouth, then breathed a sigh of relief, letting me go.

I couldn't help but feel relieved when I saw that it was a person in front of me. But this person suddenly became so rude that I couldn't help but get angry. I jumped up from the ground, covered my face and opened my mouth and cursed: "Fuck you! Are you sick?"

The man didn't say anything and glared at me, his eyes looked particularly cold. The next series of curses I choked back by his eyes, which made me angry, and it was too much of a loss if I didn't get angry, so it was embarrassing to stand there.

At this time, the man finally spoke: "What are you doing alone in such a deserted place? Are you not afraid of danger?"

I looked up and down at the man in front of me and saw that he was covered in coal black, unkempt and dirty face, but his eyes were very big. His long hair and beard had been rolled out because he had not washed for a long time. This man was very tall, about 1.85 meters tall. He was not wearing clothes on his upper body and a pair of ragged blue cloth pants on his lower body.

I thought to myself that this must be a homeless man living in this cave. I probably accidentally broke into his territory and annoyed him.

I rubbed my face and said angrily: "Do you care? Is this your home? Such a big place, I will stay wherever I want to. What's wrong with you? Look at you, like a blind wandering, and you dare to fight with me? If you didn't see you as pitiful as beggars, I would have..."

I still have to continue to say so that I can exhale a vent of anger in my heart. But before I finished speaking, the man turned his head and waved his hand: "You go quickly, it's very dangerous here now, don't stay here." As he said that, he walked into the depths again.

When I saw him leaving, I hurriedly shouted, "Hey, return my cat to me!" He turned around and said in surprise, "What cat?"

I thought to myself, my grandson, was you crazy hungry? I wanted to hide my wild game, and then wait for me to leave, you have delicious cat meat, right? So I said to him, "Okay, don't pretend, I'm watching my cat come here, what are you planning to eat cat meat? I tell you, that cat is my lifeblood, and you can't eat it no matter what you say. I have a lot of food outside this broken cave. If you give me my cat, I will give you all the food."

After hearing me, the man glared at me, and there was an indescribable majesty between his eyebrows. He angrily said, "Who wants to eat your cat? I have never seen any cats come in. Did I say that, can you still lie to you?"

Seeing that he was tough, I thought I couldn't tell you clearly about this kind of homeless man, so I might as well find him by myself, so I ignored him, lit the torch again, and walked in angrily.

The man saw that I was going to walk in, and he grabbed me and made my wrist hurt. He said to me, "Little brother, I was not good, I was too reckless just now. But I really haven't seen your cat, so hurry up, there is really danger here. Don't worry, I don't eat cat meat. If I really see your cat, I will definitely give it back to you, okay?"

I narrowed my eyes and stared at him, thinking that this man changed his attitude when he saw that I was about to enter the hole, for fear that I would find something when I entered the hole. It must be that there was a ghost in my heart. How could I throw Ye Bi here to let you succeed? I shook off his hand and snorted: "Why are you afraid that I will enter the hole if you have the ability? If you have the ability, please let me enter the hole and see! I have never seen you like you. I just said, "Give me back the cat and I will give you all the food, are you still afraid that I will lie to you? Besides, do you have some love? Such a cute kitten, do you have the heart to eat?" When I said this, I suddenly felt aroused, and thought it was not good, so I hurriedly grabbed his hand and asked viciously: "Have you killed Ye Bi? Isn't you?" Without waiting for him to reply, I rushed into the hole.

When the man saw me walking in again, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and pushed me in his chest. I felt a strong force rushing towards me and lying on the ground.

I heard the man shouting at me, "Nothing! I said I didn't see your cat, why don't you believe it? I never lie to others, how could I lie to your cat to eat? I said there was danger here, and I asked you to go out for your own good, but you repeatedly framed me. Okay, since you are not afraid of death, then let me go. If you are willing to go in, I will no longer block you." After that, he turned around and was about to go back.

I was pinched by this man just now, and now I was pushed to the ground by him. I couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to fight him. But first of all, I am not an expert in fighting, and secondly, my two actions just now really made me feel that this man's strength is not average, and I can definitely not beat him. Fortunately, I have always been self-aware, "If you can't beat him, don't fight" is my usual attitude towards things since I was a child.

I thought that although this man appeared to be sloppy, he had a kind of righteousness in his words and deeds, and he did not look like an ordinary blind wanderer or beggar. Judging from his attitude, I guess he had probably never seen Ye Bi. But his repeated verbal danger aroused my innate curiosity.

I stood up and patted the soil on my body, and asked, "Okay, even if you have never seen my cat, then tell me what danger is inside? Wild beasts?" Then I looked up and down, left and right at the cave. It was indeed like a nest of a wild beast, and continued, "Are you a hunter? Come and copy the beast's nest?" After asking, I felt regretful immediately, thinking that there was no hunter who didn't carry a gun? And he was wearing this look.

The man heard me that he believed he had never seen my cat, so his attitude eased a little and said to me: "Don't ask about this. Anyway, I didn't lie to you. You can leave here quickly, and I will never harm you."

I heard what he said solemnly, and I couldn't help but feel a little murmur in my heart. I remember that if the animal corpses I just stepped on were not eaten by the person in front of me, there would definitely be some beast. I really can't stay in this place forever, and I'm seeing the torches burned out, I'm afraid there will be some danger if I don't go out.

Thinking of this, I asked the man: "You won't leave?" The man nodded. I said, "Why are you not afraid of danger? What kind of danger is it? I told me that you can't lose a piece of meat. You told me that I will leave immediately after I told me. The man waved at me and told me not to ask anymore, and then turned around and walked inward.

Although I was still very worried about the wild beast, the gloomy cave really scared me, and a strange man appeared just now. He kept saying that there was danger inside. This made me, who was naturally timid, dare not stay any longer. I thought I could only go out of the cave first and then make plans. If it really doesn't work, I would go back to the village, spend more money to hire some fellow villagers, and help me find it tomorrow.

Seeing that the strange man's flashlight gradually disappeared, I hurriedly walked out of the cave. While walking, I muttered that today was really unlucky. Not only did Gao Lin throw it away, but he also lost Ye Bi. When he arrived in this broken cave, he was frustrated by a dirty ghost. If this person was unlucky, he would have to drink cold water and get too stuffed.

As I approached the entrance of the hole, the passage began to gradually shrink and become smaller, and I gradually changed from walking upright to crawling forward.

After climbing for a while, I slowly approached the entrance of the cave. But the closer I got to the entrance of the cave, the more I felt something was wrong. Why was there no light at all? Logically speaking, there should be light at the entrance of the cave. Could it be that it was dark? I looked at the watch under the fire and it was only 5:30. It was impossible for me to have no sunshine at this time, so what happened?

With a lot of doubts, I finally climbed to the entrance of the cave. However, what happened in front of me made me confused as if I was dreaming. The entrance to the cave was blocked for no reason.
