Chapter 53

c There is a fork in the road in front of us, and we took the fork on the left along the shore. This man said he would take me somewhere.

"Hey, kid! I told you to hurry up. You're so slow that you can't even walk in the dark." He turned around to urge me from time to time.

I didn't reply, I only dared to complain in my heart, "You can't walk in the dark, so is there day and night here? Besides, didn't you see that I'm still carrying someone on my back?"

Sister Hong has a plump figure, but she is not very tall. I estimate that she will only weigh about 110 pounds when she is stretched to death. Although she is not heavy, if she is carried for several miles on her back, she is still on the bank of such a harsh underground river. If I'm not careful, I'll fall down, so I can't walk fast.

"Stop, stop here." The man in front of him suddenly stopped.

He pointed to the other side of the underground river for me to see.

There is a rock wall on the other side of the river. With the faint flashlight, I discovered that there is a crack on the rock wall on the other side of the river. This crack is about tens of centimeters wide and very long, but I can't see how deep the big crack is.

"What's wrong?" I asked puzzledly, looking at the other side of the river.

"What else can I do? Swim over and go to the other side." He looked at the stone crevice with half-squinted eyes.

"I'm a landlubber and I don't know how to swim. Besides, Sister Hong hasn't woken up yet. How can she get there? I said, aren't you just playing? If you want to go over, you have to wait until Sister Hong wakes up."

The man looked at me and then at the unconscious Sister Hong who was lying on my back. He finally sighed and cursed secretly that he was lazy and pissed a lot.

I put Sister Hong down gently, and the man and I leaned against the rock wall with our eyes closed to relax. I wanted to wait for Sister Hong to wake up and start walking. Safety was the top priority in everything.

I was a little tired, so I leaned on it and fell into a daze.

As the old saying goes, what you think about every day is what you dream about at night. I had a very strange dream.

In my dream, I dreamed that I came to a magnificent palace. There were fur carpets on the ground floor of the palace. Six huge bronze palace lanterns stood on both sides of the palace. The candles in the palace lanterns were shining brightly. There were many gracefully dressed willow trees. Thin-waisted gauze dancers walked into the palace and danced in groups of three.

These stunning palace maids had eyebrows as thick as mountains, and with the flying veils flying, they all looked up to the top of the main hall.

I also looked along.
