"I know there is a cave near here, follow me!" As soon as he finished speaking, I quickly followed him.
The cave was obscured by layers of vines, so if you weren't paying attention, you really wouldn't be able to spot him.
When I walked into the cave, the coldness that hit my face made me shiver.
"I discovered this place with Ziwei before. Let's go down the mountain again after the rain stops."
There were a lot of dry firewood in the tree cave. I simply collected them and lit them. The dim open flame barely illuminated the cave.
The cave is very deep and pitch black inside.
"Do you know what's in it?"
Cai Zixin shook his head: "I didn't dare to go in. In the past, adults always lied to us that this was a den of thieves selling children, and no one dared to come. Now that we have grown up, we are no longer curious."
I stared at the unfathomable cave, and my consciousness told me that there must be another cave inside.
"Since we're all here, why don't we go on an adventure?"
Compared to my casualness, Cai Zixin is obviously much more sensible: "Wouldn't this be bad? What if there are poisonous insects in it?"
"Let's go, I'll bring the medicine."
After saying that, I couldn't help but break up, picked up Cai Zixin and walked deeper into the cave.
It's summer now. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants in this cave, but as we went deeper inside, we didn't encounter anything.
I took a flashlight to illuminate the road around me, and soon I discovered that there seemed to be something carved on the stone wall.
I wiped off the lightest dust on the stone wall with my hands. What was carved on the stone wall was a woman and a man, holding hands, playing together by the river. The carvings on the stone wall were very detailed, and even the riverside, I recognized it at a glance. Exactly where I got off yesterday.
Immediately afterwards, the next picture is of a woman and a man clinging to each other. The two of them seem to be a couple.
Cai Zixin and I both looked at the murals carefully.
These paintings are deeply carved, and judging from the dust on them, they seem to have been there for a certain amount of time.
Women and men are very loving, and most of the murals describe how deep the relationship between the two is.
Gradually, a faint smell came, and the content of the mural began to look strange.
The woman and the man stood by the river, trying to throw the lock in their hands into the river, but the man behind them pushed the woman hard.
The woman fell into the river, but fortunately she had good water skills and swam back to the shore with all her strength.
But this effort made her fall into despair again. The man dragged her by her hair into the cave, broke her hands and feet, and left her to fend for herself here.
The last picture of the mural is a woman turned into a withered skeleton, lying in a corner full of vines, looking desperately at the top of the mountain, her limbs twisted in an extremely uncoordinated manner.
I always felt that this mural was weird. When I was still thinking about what was wrong, Cai Zixin beside me suddenly burst out with a scream: "Ah!"
I looked at him suddenly, but the latter's hands kept shaking, pointing to a corner not far away.
Looking along his fingers, even I gasped unconsciously.
Just like the mural on the wall, in a corner full of vines, a skeleton fell to the ground. Even the uncoordinated limbs were painted exactly the same. The only difference was that on the woman's chest, a piece had been It collapsed, as if someone had stepped on it.
I gasped.
"Call the police immediately!"
In just half an hour, police cars roared in.
In this originally peaceful town, this kind of thing happened and it caused a sensation.
Fortunately, the local police's case-handling efficiency was indeed first-class. It only took half a day to investigate the cause of the matter clearly.
The deceased in the cave was named Ou Yang. He was only 30 years old when he died. He belonged to a single-parent family. He was traveling with his boyfriend that day and was killed.
The reason that made her boyfriend want to kill her was very simple. He owed one hundred thousand yuan from outside. He remembered that his girlfriend had bought an insurance policy and he was the beneficiary, so he decided to pay compensation.
Just 100,000 yuan can completely wipe out a young life.
At night, Cai Zixin and I returned to Grandma Cai’s house.
Grandma Cai had already prepared food and was waiting for us. Her eyes were still a little red, and she looked at us at a loss: "Ziwei is sick again. Fortunately, I used a rope to feed her during the day." Tied up, Ruiwazi, you have to think of a way for us!"
I gently patted Grandma Cai's trembling hand: "Don't worry, I'll go in and talk to Ziwei."
"Okay, then you have to be careful."
Entering the house, Cai Ziwei was indeed tied up by Wu Huada. She kept baring her teeth, as if she could bite the rope through it.
When she saw me, her emotions were extremely violent, she was struggling wildly, and her face was ferocious.
Her lips were very dry and had a layer of dead skin. I picked up the cotton swab placed next to the table and moistened it with water to moisturize her lips.
But she bit down on the cotton swab and swallowed the cotton swab into her mouth with a grin, refusing to chew it.
I sighed: "Ouyang, your body has been discovered by the police, and the person who killed you has just been brought to justice. It's time for you to go."
For a moment, Cai Ziwei looked at me in disbelief.
"Your bones are temporarily stored at the police station. It is estimated that your mother will claim the ashes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." I said, reaching out and touching her hair.
Cai Ziwei was stunned. Her eyes turned red and tears fell down.
She cried silently, looking straight at me with her big eyes, as if she was sad, but also excited.
"This little girl accidentally broke into the cave before and stepped on you. I'm sorry about this. When she gets better, I will take her to burn money for you to apologize. She is just a child. Let it go. Her."
Cai Ziwei still didn't speak, crying silently, and then closed her eyes without any reaction.
The stinging sensation in my left eye gradually subsided, and I knew that Ouyang had left.
Without a soul, the body can easily be invaded by other things. I stuffed the amulet left for me during the day into the pocket of Cai Ziwei's clothes.
Looking at the few talisman papers left, I sighed in my heart.
Tiantian, Tiantian, if you don’t come back, I’ll probably end up here too.
After walking out of the room, Grandma Cai and Cai Zixin gathered around and asked how Cai Ziwei was doing.
"The female ghost in her body has left. The most important thing now is to summon the spirit. I will do it tomorrow night."
"Why tomorrow night?"
I smiled bitterly: "It's too late now. It's already morning after making the soul-calling talisman."
