#028

Huxian Cave is at the southernmost part of the island, and the terrain is slightly higher than other places. No one lives here, and all you can see are fields except for woods.

Chang Huasheng took them to the highest point, pointed to the cliff below and said, "Huxian Cave is on the cliff, and there is a small path going down. Be careful."

The path is a 'edge' carved out of the stone wall, less than 40 centimeters wide.

In Ruan Boling's eyes, this is not walking at all, but jumping off a cliff.

He froze when he was more than one meter away from the edge of the cliff, clutching Shang Yin's sleeve, showing a bit of aggrieved eyes, full of the meaning of 'I'm not going'.

Shang Yin held Ruan Boling's hand grabbing his sleeve, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he said helplessly, "What do you want, Ruan?"

Ruan Boling suddenly remembered that his 'husband' was still there, but he was habitually afraid of heights when he saw the cliff, so he forgot about him for a while.

He called that person in his consciousness, but he couldn't come out, and even closed his eyes like a magic stick summoning a ghost, and he almost shouted 'husband', but that person still didn't show up.

Shang Yin was still holding Ruan Boling's hand, and asked with a smile or not: "Ah Ruan, what's wrong with you?"

Ruan Boling got angry, Shang Yin finally laughed out loud, "I won't tease you, don't be angry."

Ruan Boling wondered why Shang Yin was teasing him, but before he could ask, that voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Zai Zai, do you miss me so much?"

Ruan Boling immediately forgot what he was going to ask Shang Yin, that person hugged him, and whispered in his ear, "Close your eyes."

Except for Chang Huasheng who was a torch, everyone else was using flashlights. Suddenly there was no wind and no reason, and all the light sources went out.

"What happened?"

"Is the lake fairy here?"

Someone yelled in horror, Ruan Boling knew it must be the one who did it, he was suddenly hugged up, and the sound of the wind and that person's voice rang in his ears.

"Hey, don't be afraid if your husband is here."

It was pitch black, and Ruan Boling couldn't see anything. He felt as if he was falling, but it was over in an instant. When he stopped, the man was resting on a cold stone wall.

"We're here, baby."

Ruan Boling wanted to turn on the flashlight again, but was held down.

That person grabbed his hands and pressed them to the top of his head, sticking to his lips and said: "Don't worry, give me a kiss first."

"why?"

Ruan Boling asked very frankly, but what reason does my husband need to be kissed!

I have to say one thing, that is, the way Ruan Boling grabbed Shang Yin's sleeve and got angry just now, it was too tempting to bully.

So, Ruan Boling heard the man say: "If you don't kiss, I won't let you go. They will find you right away."

Ruan Boling first thought of not letting Brother Yin find out, so he simply raised his chin, and he didn't know where the kiss was, so he punched it anyway.

He thought that he had kissed him like this, but in the end, the man gagged and kissed him back.

"Little Ruan? Where are you? Are you okay?"

Wan Jingshan's voice rang from the top, Ruan Boling's phone was still beeping 'quack', and the flashlight on the cliff lit up again.

Ruan Boling finally pushed the man away with all his strength, breathed slightly before answering.

"Brother Wan, I'm in the cave."

After a while, everyone else came down, and the cave was lit up instantly.

Shang Yin and Wan Jingshan walked up to Ruan Boling and looked at him with concern, but he was not injured.

Wan Jingshan already knew that Ruan Boling had a 'krypton gold cheat', but Ruan Boling didn't mention it to Shang Yin, and it was hard for him to ask. After all, it was a 'love triangle', and the feelings of young people were hard to understand.

Shang Yin stared at Ruan Boling's slightly red face, touched it lightly with the back of his hand and asked, "Ah Ruan, why are you blushing?"

Ruan Boling avoided Shang Yin's sight when he thought of being kissed by that person just now, and said, "I came down too hastily just now."

Shang Yin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said meaningfully: "Really? Then take your time next time."

Ruan Boling nodded seriously, and didn't hear anything wrong at all.

Zhong Rui walked at the end and looked at Ruan Boling as soon as he entered the hole.

Chang Huasheng was one in front of him. When he saw Ruan Boling, he asked strangely: "Xiao Ruan, why did you run down? The flashlight suddenly went out just now, and it couldn't be turned on anyway. Did you find something?"

Ruan Boling couldn't tell the truth, so he replied perfunctorily, "I just went down to see what's in the cave, but there was nothing."

As soon as he finished saying nothing, he saw that the illuminated hole was full of offerings, clothes tied with paper and fruits, and even real mobile phones.

However, others thought he meant 'ghosts' when he said no.

Zhong Rui looked around first, very calm, and opened his mouth first, "The cave is so big. I have been here several times, and I have checked all the places I can investigate. It is true that there is nothing there. It is just an ordinary cave. You go in and have a look." Bar!"

It was as if the others were following his orders.

Ruan Boling ignored Zhong Rui, turned on the flashlight and went straight into the depths of the cave.

The cave is actually very big, they are near the entrance of the cave, and the offerings are also near the entrance of the cave.

The humidity in the cave is very heavy, but the yin air is not as heavy as in the village. The lake fairy must not 'live' here.

There is a crack in the deepest part, several meters from the cave wall to the ground, and there is a pile of rocks at the end of the crack, which looks very abrupt.

Wan Jingshan followed Ruan Boling, walked to the pile of rocks and cracks, took out a magnifying glass, bought it in the last world.

Ruan Boling asked: "Brother Wan, what did you find?"

Wan Jingshan dug into the crack for a long time, took out a transparent stone the size of a little finger, and handed it to Ruan Boling, "I'm not sure, but it might be crystal ore."

Ruan Boling took the small stone, and Wan Jingshan picked up another piece of gravel.

"This is a gouging mark, not a natural formation, and the mark has been there for some time."

Wan Jingshan thought for a while, and concluded: "It should be that many years ago, the mountain changed, and this crack appeared in the cave. Someone discovered the crystal ore in the crack and excavated it. But the excavation level should be at the beginning. , it stopped."

Ruan Boling shone the flashlight into the gap. The gap is quite wide, and a thinner person can get in directly.

There are indeed many reflective spots inside, which are the crystals Wan Jingshan mentioned, and there is a small stone niche in the middle.

The stone niche fell in from the outside and was covered with moss. I don't know what was enshrined in it.

But in the Huxian Cave, it may be the Huxian.

"Did you find anything?"

Zhong Rui walked to the side of Ruan Boling and Wan Jingshan, and looked into the gap together.

Ruan Boling pointed his flashlight at the stone niche and said, "There is a ghost inside, can't you see it?"

Zhong Rui was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said nervously: "I saw it, it's right there in the stone niche, I was shocked!"

In fact, there is really a spirit in the cave, which is caught in the deepest crack, and it came out when the stone niche was found, without heavy resentment, it looks a little violent.

Ruan Boling quietly stared at the stone niche in the crack, and suddenly jumped up in shock, as if startled by something.

He said to Zhong Rui: "The ghost has come out and is crawling towards you."

Zhong Rui's eyes widened nervously, as if he saw an evil ghost crawling towards him ferociously.

He stepped back quickly, but stepped on a piece of gravel and fell with a big backlash.

Ruan Boling got up as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the deepest real ghost.

Wan Jingshan was sure that Ruan Boling was lying just now, this kid always looks easy to talk and coax, but in fact he is very ghostly.

But the others didn't know that Ruan Boling was lying to Zhong Rui, and when they saw Zhong Rui suddenly fall down in a panic, they all became nervous.

Especially the other two passers, a young girl and a middle-aged man, thought that Zhong Rui could see ghosts.

The girl asked Zhong Rui: "Brother Zhong, what's the matter? Is there anything coming?"

Zhong Rui stared at the one who couldn't see anything, and said tremblingly, "Yes, there are ghosts!"

The girl immediately exclaimed, "Is the lake fairy coming!"

Chang Huasheng stepped forward suddenly, swept the torch back and forth in front of Zhong Rui's collapsed legs several times, and said, "Isn't there nothing? Stand up and try."

Zhong Rui's expression changed suddenly. He looked at Ruan Boling, who didn't care about them at all, and immediately understood that Ruan Boling was playing with him.

He snorted angrily, and said to Chang Huasheng in a cold voice, "I've already run away, you ran away as soon as you came here."

Chang Huasheng wasn't sure if he ran away, but Zhong Rui was obviously bluffing and ignored him.

Shang Yinzheng folded his hands, admiring Ruan Boling's earnest investigation, and secretly bounced a stone at Zhong Rui's calf.

Zhong Rui jumped up nervously in fright, startling the other two passers next to him.

But he looked at his feet, but there was nothing, suddenly not sure whether Ruan Boling was lying to him, and then glared fiercely at Ruan Boling.

Ruan Boling didn't care about Zhong Rui's condition at all. Facing the ghost, his face was very dirty, and he could tell that it was a man's face, baring his teeth and claws and roaring at him.

He frowned and felt a little difficult, the voice of that person sounded beside him.

"It's not that he's unable to speak due to resentment, nor is it that he lacks yin energy, it's because he's a lunatic."

Ruan Boling stared regretfully at the madman in front of him. If the madman had been in the cave, he must know something, but even if he knew, he couldn't communicate now.

He gave up asking the ghost, but the mad ghost suddenly spoke.

"The butterfly was thrown into the lake, and the box was taken away! The butterfly is in the lake! She stopped crying!"

Butterfly?Box taken?lake?

Ruan Boling waited for the madman in a daze for a long while, but the only thing the madman repeated was these few words.

He asked, "Who took the box?"

"The box is gone, Butterfly, she won't cry!"

The one reminded: "He can't explain clearly, Zai Zai."

Ruan Boling also noticed it, turned around giving up, and walked in front of Chang Huasheng.

"Uncle Chang, do you know anyone who came to this cave and took a box?"

They all saw Uncle Ruan talking to himself just now, but now they don't feel that he is talking to himself, but can see ghosts.

Chang Huasheng glanced into the depths of the cave. For more than ten years, the village has been shrouded in the shadow of the lake fairy every day. He can feel that there is something there even if he can't see him.

But he didn't ask much, and answered after thinking for a long time: "In the beginning, Chang Dagui was the first person to die in the village. He came to pay homage to the Lake Immortal the day before, and went crazy the day after. He hit the threshing machine and died by himself. At that time, I thought he had gone crazy suddenly, but after many people died, I remembered him, and there was a rumor that the lake fairy killed people."

"When was that?"

"More than ten years ago."

Ruan Boling looked at Wan Jingshan in a blink of an eye, and Wan Jing returned a determined look.

He said to Chang Huasheng again: "Uncle Chang, please take us to Chang Dagui's house."

"There used to be five people in their family, but now only Dagui's mother is left." Chang Huasheng asked sadly, "Shall we leave now?"

Ruan Boling thought of climbing up the cliff again, so he didn't want to do it again.

"Little Ruan." Wan Jingshan said suddenly, "Is your cell phone out of battery? The frog hasn't croaked for a while."

Everyone else realized that the cry of the frog had indeed disappeared, and if the frog did not cry, it meant that the lake fairy could kill people.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.

Ruan Boling took out his phone and said, "It's out of battery."

The physical time of the last charge was more than a day ago, and it is normal to run out of power.

At this time, the girl who cleared the level suddenly yelled again, "Bugs, so many bugs!"

Ruan Boling looked down, and suddenly there were countless strange white bugs crawling out from all over the cave, not only on the ground, but also on the cave walls and ceiling.

He subconsciously ran towards Shang Yin, jumped onto Shang Yin's back, and asked seriously: "Brother Yin, if I'm afraid of bugs, will you think I'm useless?"

"No, everyone has something to be afraid of." Shang Yin replied solemnly.

In the obviously tense and fearful atmosphere, the two became inexplicably ambiguous.

The others couldn't help looking at them, not knowing how to describe this abnormal feeling for a while.

Chang Huasheng didn't have this awareness in his mind, so he focused on burning the white worm with a torch, and the white worm crawled away immediately.

He said: "This kind of insect lives in the hole, afraid of fire, poisonous, don't be bitten, you find something to light a fire, get out quickly."

"What kind of points! No one thought there would be this!" The middle-aged man who cleared the customs said.

"Clothes, pants, what do you care! Otherwise, you will be killed by insects."

After Chang Huasheng yelled, Zhong Rui took off his clothes first, followed by the other two, and lit it with Chang Huasheng's torch.

After ordering, Chang Huasheng looked at Ruan Boling and the other three, wanting to ask them if they needed anything, but couldn't help being stunned.

Wan Jingshan took out a bottle of kerosene from his backpack. It was a bit expensive and he was a bit reluctant, but he still poked the oil outlet wide, and put the bottle flat on the ground, and the kerosene flowed out.

Then, he kicked the bottle, and the bottle slid out slowly, leaving a kerosene line on the ground to the hole.

When the lighter was turned on, the fire immediately ignited a line, and the white worms were separated to both sides of the fire, forming a path.

The other four were dumbfounded.

Zhong Rui couldn't help but think, what's the point of lighting a fire!These people graduated from the pretentious academy!

Chang Huasheng also couldn't comprehend the 'pretentiousness', and said as usual: "Let's go!"

Everyone else hurried out of the outer cave, the fire oil wouldn't burn for long.

With Ruan Boling on his back, Shang Yin calmly said to Ruan Boling at the end, "Ah Ruan, close your eyes and imagine that we are just in the school playground."

"But, I still dare not!" Ruan Boling replied in a low voice.

A cliff like an abyss appeared in his mind again, and there were countless evil spirits climbing up the cliff, trying to catch him.He was hung on the cliff, unable to escape, and no one came to rescue him, so he could only watch the abyss and evil spirits below.

"Do not you trust me?"

Ruan Boling didn't believe it, but he couldn't forget the fear at that moment.

Shang Yin continued: "Don't be afraid, we are just walking on the playground, there are no cliffs, and there are no evil spirits."

"Ah."

Ruan Boling hugged Shang Yin's neck, buried his face on Shang Yin's back, imagining the school playground, it was just an ordinary night, they were just walking.

With him on his back, Shang Yin walked on the playground step by step.

He is safe.

No evil spirit will eat him.

He won't fall either.

he's safe-

"Ah Ruan, it's done."

Ruan Boling broke out in a cold sweat, and after a long time, he slowly raised his head, opened one eye, saw the flat ground under his feet, and chuckled, "Brother Yin, I'm really good."

He hugged Shang Yin's neck and rubbed it again.

"You are amazing." Shang Yin replied sincerely.

Ruan Boling jumped off Shang Yin's back, the people in front were waiting for them.

As soon as he walked up, Shang Yin grabbed him.

"Ah Ruan, the lake fairy is here."

The fog still persisted, and the black shadow Chang Hua's family had seen appeared in the fog again, not just one, but surrounded them directly.

Finally, the shadow walked out of the thick fog, as if surrounded by a group of black monkeys.

"What now?" asked the girl.

Another man replied, "What else can I do? I'm dead!"

Zhong Rui thought of Ruan Boling breaking up the shadow of the canna, but before he realized where it was, he saw Ruan Boling walking directly towards the shadow.

He hurriedly shouted: "Hey! You are dying! There are so many!"

Ruan Boling didn't care, and said politely to Shadow: "Hello, do you want to play hide-and-seek?"

When Zhong Rui heard this, he almost fell to the ground in shock.

What does it mean?Playing hide and seek with ghosts?In ghost stories, ghosts are always looking for people to play with!

Ruan Boling continued: "If you find me, you can kill anyone you want."

"Are you kidding! Why use other people's lives to negotiate terms." Zhong Rui immediately retorted.

Wan Jingshan continued: "Aren't you always taking advantage of other people's lives to survive? Why should you object!"

"You—" Zhong Rui let out a sound, unable to continue.

He didn't want to do this either. The people on the island have been doing this all the time. As long as someone dies, they can live on themselves, so they have become ruthless and indifferent.

Whoever wants to stop him will be the next to die.

"whee."

The little girl's laughter suddenly sounded.

Ruan Boling took two steps back and hid behind Shang Yin.

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Zhong Rui didn't know whether he was afraid or too cold, his teeth chattered constantly.

He obviously couldn't see the ghost, but he saw a black shadow suddenly appear out of thin air, rushing towards Ruan Boling, and then heard the little girl's voice.

"Hee hee, I found you."

It's over, they were all killed by Ruan Boling!

Zhong Rui's indescribable despair, he struggled for so long, lost his conscience and killed so many people, and now he is still about to die.

He just wants to live, is there something wrong?

However, Ruan Boling smiled slightly at the little girl-like 'Huxian', "Finally found you!"

Zhong Rui watched the smile on Ruan Boling's face, his eyes were evil and cold, more like a ghost than a ghost.

The next moment, Ruan Boling counterattacked, grabbed the 'Huxian' by the neck, and pushed the 'Huxian' to the ground.

Ruan Boling actually caught the 'Huxian' instead!How is this possible!

But this is the truth, Ruan Boling took out the butterfly headband given by the ghost old man in the last world.

"Excuse me, is this your thing?"

'Huxian' has black hair and is almost as tall as a person. At this time, she is lying on the ground, revealing the innocent face of a 10-year-old girl.

But the moment the 'Huxian' saw the hairband, a strong resentment surged out, and he howled in all directions.

The little girl's body began to grow larger, turning into the appearance of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and then turned into a swollen corpse, her jet-black hair became wet and twisted together.

"Go to hell! You demons! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell—"

The voice of 'Huxian' resounded everywhere, like the last desperate roar of a girl.

"Ah Ruan!"

Shang Yin pulled Ruan Boling up, and glanced at the 'Huxian' on the ground. The violent 'Huxian' was split by an invisible wind blade, and suddenly disappeared, and the shadows surrounding them also disappeared.

Shang Yin said: "Her resentment is too heavy, there is no way to communicate."

Ruan Boling looked at the butterfly headband in his hand, and the 'Huxian' was indeed a little moved when he saw it for a moment, but it reminded her of a deeper memory, leaving only resentment in an instant.

In that momentary look, he read the meaning of calling for help, the despair from the verge of death.

"Uncle Chang, you can go now. The Huxian won't come for the time being." Ruan Boling immediately said to Chang Huasheng.

Chang Huasheng hadn't recovered from the surprise just now, and now he looked at Ruan Boling as if he saw a god, and after a while he quickly said: "Okay, okay, you go ahead."

Ruan Boling tilted his head, why did he become 'you'?

Shang Yin reached up from behind him and patted his head, "It's okay, you can take care of it."

The house of Chang Dagui's family was the first to build a building in the village, but now the building is dilapidated.

Chang Huasheng knocked on the door, and there was an old woman who was nearly seventy years old, and she was a little surprised to see them.

"What's the matter with you?"

"I want to ask something about Chang Dagui."

Wan Jingshan stepped forward, and the old woman looked at him appreciatively, "He's been dead for more than ten years, what are you asking! I'm going to see him soon."

"How did he die?" Wan Jingshan asked straightforwardly, not at all because the other party was old.

The old woman laughed and said, "How did you die? You were killed by the lake fairy!"

Wan Jingshan suddenly lowered his voice, and said firmly: "More than ten years ago, Chang Dagui didn't go to the lake fairy cave to worship the lake fairy, but dig crystals."

The old woman's eyes widened in shock.

He continued: "But he just started digging when he unearthed something else, a box."

The old woman was stunned, her eyes lost focus and looked ahead, and after a long time, she cried dryly and said, "Yes, he died because of that box!"

Wan Jingshan just listened to Ruan Boling carrying the suitcase, and guessed so, but it turned out to be true.

Ruan Boling stepped forward and asked, "What's in the box?"

Seeing Ruan Boling, the old woman thought of her grandson, who would be about this age if he hadn't died.

She replied: "There are two bronze mirrors in the box, glued together facing each other. Dagui tore the bronze mirrors apart, and a bunch of hair and blood-stained white cloth were sandwiched between them."

"Where is that thing now?"

"That thing was so weird, I asked him to return it, and he said he wanted to dig out the crystal, so he threw it into the lake. As a result, he died the next day!"

Ruan Boling asked again: "Where did he throw the box?"

The old woman cried and replied: "I don't know either. Later, more and more people died, and I found out that it might be because of that box, but the more this happened, the less I dared to say it.

Now, I'm the only old woman left, I don't care anymore, I want to speak out, but no one comes to ask me, no one wants to listen to me, no one..."

Ruan Boling was not interested in listening to other people's regrets, so he said to Chang Huasheng: "Uncle Chang, the things in that box are the key to finding the truth about the murder of Huxian. Can you find a way to retrieve it?"

Chang Huasheng replied with some embarrassment: "Yes, but it's midnight now, and I don't know where to throw it. How about I find a few more people tomorrow and go fishing together?"

It was only a few hours before dawn, and because of the villagers' fear of the lake fairy, no one wanted to go to the lake at this time.

Ruan Boling said, "Okay, let's go back and rest now."

Several people left Chang Dagui's house, and the old lady in front of the door was still chatting endlessly.

The author has something to say: A certain BOSS: Open the vest to tease the cubs, and you will reap double the happiness.

Ruan: You'd better pray that you never fall off the horse!
