Xiong Ming weighed at least two hundred kilograms. Hua Muling and I used our strength to pull this guy up.
Perhaps it was because I hadn’t eaten for a long time, or perhaps because the air pressure here was too low. After dragging Xiong Ming up, I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.
I sat down on the ground and gasped for air for a while before I finally recovered a little.
As soon as I regained my composure, Xiong Ming's big slap came on my back, and I heard this kid scolding me: "Hu Tian, what are you doing? I almost got you hurt." died!"
Before Xiong Ming finished speaking, Hua Muling asked from the side: "Yes! Hu Tian, what happened to you just now? That sudden moment was really scary!"
I raised my eyes and looked at Xiong Ming, then at Hua Muling, and said in a deep voice, "Just now I... saw a figure. No... not exactly a figure, but a human face!"
"What?"
Xiong Ming and Hua Muling were suddenly shocked by my words.
Xiong Ming stepped forward and asked, "Are you sure you're not dazzled?"
I frowned and said, "I'm sure I'm not dazzled. That face just appeared in front of me."
Xiong Ming asked: "Then where did he run?"
I shook my head and said, "I didn't see it clearly! Just after that moment, the face disappeared."
Hua Muling heard the sound and said: "If Hu Tian is not dazzled... the only place that person can go is inside!"
Hua Muling said and pointed to the cave not far in front of us.
Indeed, the dark cave in front of us is the only exit here.
At this time, my heartbeat was gradually approaching a steady pace. I stood up slowly and said to Xiong Ming and Hua Muling, "Let's go! It's already a road in Huashan. Is that thing just now a human or the ghost of his grandma? We’ll find out once we get in.”
With that said, I decided to walk towards the cave first.
But I had just taken a few steps when Hua Muling grabbed my clothes from behind.
I looked back at Hua Muling and asked curiously: "Xiaohua, what's wrong?"
Hua Muling looked at me for a while and then said softly: "Be careful!"
I smiled and touched Hua Muling's head and said, "Don't worry! You followed me!"
After saying this, I stepped into the dark cave in front of me.
This cave is different from the not-so-wide cave when we came here. It is not flat. On the contrary, it goes all the way up.
This made me feel a little surprised. Although it was very difficult to walk in some places, according to my estimation, we should be able to get back to the ground in a short time.
I mentioned before that human beings are very strange creatures. When their hearts are full of despair, the word despair is like the most poisonous poison in the world, which can make a person lose all hope for life in a few seconds. eager.
Similarly, if a person sees hope in a desperate situation, he will burst out with endless power in an instant.
You may not understand what I say. After all, you have to experience it yourself to understand it.
So, let me give you an example: This is a real incident. In the Soviet Union in 1973, a military transport plane encountered an unprecedented snowstorm on its way back after completing a military mission.
The pilot lost his way in the snowstorm. Due to the limited fuel of the plane, he had no choice but to make an emergency landing on a nearby mountain.
Since the transport plane was loaded with cargo for ten minutes at the time, the Soviet army dispatched a large amount of manpower to search for it. It was not until the fifth week after the accident that the plane was found halfway up a mountain, but it was missing. The figure of the driver.
According to the opinions given by medical experts at the time, drivers in such weather conditions and without cold-proof equipment would not have traveled more than 5 kilometers at most.
What people never expected was that the Soviet military finally found the driver of the transport plane in a small village nearly 20 kilometers away from the incident.
After finding him, many people wondered why he walked so far without cold-proof clothing.
According to his own statement, he saw a bright light not far ahead. He was very cold, tired and hungry, but he knew that as long as he walked to a place with light, he would have a chance to survive.
But everyone knows that under such circumstances, it is impossible for any light to shine in the snowy mountains.
But that is no longer important, as long as the driver can see it, it is enough.
Because that light is also his only hope.
And the reason why I tell you this is because I also saw the light at this time.
However, unlike the light that the driver saw, what I saw at this time was moonlight.
The sky was clear, and the moonlight was shining down from above like a waterfall, illuminating the entire land.
The place where the three of us walked out was a mound. It was not too high, but not too short either. It had obvious artificial traces. It was surrounded by the carcasses of many animals, including cattle and sheep. Some were old. For a long time, they have rotted into bones, and some of them have just been slaughtered, and there are still large pools of blood under the cow's head.
The carcasses of these animals were placed around the mound, three times inside and outside, and seven thigh-thick logs were placed closest to the entrance of the cave.
The wood was dark in color, and the wind carried the smell of burning charcoal. It was obvious that the bonfire had just been extinguished.
I looked around and found no one, but there was a forest about forty or fifty meters away from us.
I said: "It seems that a sacrificial activity has just been held here..."
Hua Muling looked at everything in front of her, frowned and asked, "They are worshiping at the place where we came out... What are they worshiping?"
Xiong Ming said with a smile: "Could it be that I am praying for Grandpa Xiong so that we can be safe?"
I looked at Xiong Ming and said, "The best thing about your life is that you are thick-skinned! I even prayed for you. It's a shame you can think of that."
And just as Xiong Ming and I were talking, Hua Muling suddenly patted me and said, "Shh! Someone is coming!"
After Hua Muling's reminder and looking in the direction of her finger, Xiong Ming and I discovered that there was a person not far away quietly approaching the entrance of the cave where we were.
When I saw this, I said softly: "The situation is not clear now. Let's hide first. After we understand the origins and fighting methods of the people in this place, it is not too late to make plans!"
"Yes! I listen to you!" Hua Muling and Xiong Ming responded, then followed me and hid on the other side of the mound.
To be honest, this place was just in the shadows. We could clearly see the guy running away, but he couldn't see us.
