Forbidden City

Chapter 2
That night was the craziest and most memorable night for me.

The next day, when I got up, the sun was already high, and Ling Ziyao had already left without saying goodbye. Maybe I was too tired last night. What happened at night felt like a dream. I went to WeChat and wanted to send a message to Ling Ziyao, asking her if she would come in the afternoon, but found that she was no longer in my WeChat.

I don't understand why she deleted me.

Am I destined to be a poor dick who can't get girls' favor?
I want to call her to ask her why she did this, but there is no record of my call with her in my mobile phone.Could it be that she deleted the call log last night while I was asleep?
At the dinner table, the second uncle mentioned to me about building a house again, saying that I should not trust Wu Banxian's words, Wu Banxian's words are superstitions, what time is it now?We have to believe in science.And the second uncle said that he is very old now, (in fact, he is only in his 30s, and he is still single). Now his only wish is to build a house for me, marry a wife, and start a family as soon as possible.

I was thinking about Ling Ziyao in my heart, and I didn't listen to what my second uncle said. I replied vaguely, saying that if the weather is fine tomorrow, we can continue to work.

After dinner, I decided to go to the next village to find Ling Ziyao. To be honest, I miss her so much, especially at night.

However, when I asked the villagers about Ling Ziyao, they all claimed that they did not know her.

Could it be that there is no such person in this village at all?

Or maybe, could it be that her name is not Ling Ziyao?
But why did she lie to me?Why would she give me her first time?This is also the thing that I can't understand and want to understand the most.

Inquired all morning, but found nothing.I went away in good spirits and returned in disappointment.

When I returned to the village, I found that everyone was gathered around my land, talking a lot. I walked over curiously and asked them what happened. They said something strange happened and asked me to go and see.I walked closer and saw that the second uncle was digging desperately with a hoe, and said while digging: "I want to see what's down here!"

It turned out that in one night, several tree roots suddenly drilled out of this land, and each tree root was as thick as a wrist. At this time, they meandered on the surface like a snake. Then it came out several meters.That said, the roots are growing very fast!

My second uncle was digging down along a tree root at this time.Wu Banxian stomped his feet anxiously at the side: "I can't dig, I can't dig anymore, the ghosts are coming out from the ground, so I have to bury them!" The second uncle said while digging: "Don't scare the people, if there are ghosts, I'll dig out that spirit and show you!" I said it's normal to have tree roots, so what's the fuss about?Wu Banxian shouted angrily: "Look, there are no trees within a radius of 30 meters. Where did the roots come from? Also, have you seen the roots growing from the ground?"

This surprised me, and I stepped forward and kicked the tree root twice. I felt something was wrong with this kick, so I squatted down to touch it, but when my hand just touched the tree root, I retracted immediately.The roots are very cold, like ice. What's even more weird is that the roots are soft, and it feels like touching a person's wrist.

"Second Uncle, stop digging!" I hurriedly shouted at Second Uncle: "The roots of this tree are weird!"

After hearing what I said, the second uncle suddenly dug down the root of the tree with a hoe, and dug a big hole in the root of the tree.

"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed, and red liquid flowed out from the opening, like human blood.The second uncle was also stunned, staring blankly at the red liquid for three seconds, then suddenly threw away the hoe, grabbed the roots of the tree and pulled it up vigorously, shouting as he pulled, "I want to scare you, I'm going to get you out, let's see what happens to you!" What kind of monster!" Wu Banxian ran over like crazy, pushed the second uncle hard, and almost shouted: "You have no brains, are you going to kill the whole village?" The second uncle didn't care about him, still Using brute force to pull the tree roots up, Wu Banxian also tried his best to stop them. The two of them pushed and pulled each other, making a mess.

We stared aside, not knowing who to help.

"Crack."

Suddenly a muffled sound came from the ground.The second uncle and Wu Banxian both stopped and looked at each other.

"What sound?" Wu Banxian asked.

The second uncle stepped on the ground and said, "It seems to be under my feet..."

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the place where the second uncle and Wu Banxian were standing suddenly collapsed. The two screamed and fell suddenly.We were taken aback, hurried over and found a big black hole about two meters wide!I hurriedly called my second uncle down the cave, but no one responded after calling for a long time.

"Something happened! Something happened!" Everyone was in a mess.I wanted to jump down to find my second uncle and Wu Banxian, but after thinking about it, I still felt that it was not appropriate to just jump down like this. Who knows how deep it is?He picked up a stone and put it down, and immediately there was a crackling sound from inside, like the sound of a stone falling from among the leaves, but it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was underneath.

I hurriedly went to my second uncle's house to find a flashlight to shine down, and found that there were branches and leaves indistinctly below.

A few bold villagers also came over to look at it, and said in surprise, "There's a tree under here!"

"It's so dark down here, how can there be trees?"

"There is a tree." The older Zhou Bo said, "This tree seems to grow from top to bottom?"

"My mother, what a ghost! Wu Banxian and Erqiao fell, didn't they fall to the other side of the earth?"

"I guess I won't survive!"

"It seems that Banxian is right, there are really spirits down here!"

The more I listened, the more confused I became. I got up and wanted to jump off. Uncle Zhou and others quickly grabbed me and said I couldn’t go down. Wu Banxian and my second uncle didn’t even have a voice. Not to repeat the same mistakes.

"Then what about my second uncle?" I shouted anxiously, "Don't you just ignore them?"

"Think about it first, think about it first." Zhou Bo frowned and said, "People must go down to save them, but they can't be reckless, and they have to think long-term."

So, the villagers gathered together, discussing how to go down and save people.Some people say that the bottom of the cave is dark and bottomless. If my second uncle and Wu Banxian fell, how could they survive?Even if they went down and found them, there were only two bodies.Some people say that this matter is very complicated, we can’t go on without high technology, we have to call the police, go to the city to invite people from the government, discuss and discuss, but I didn’t come up with a Chou Yinmao, I said anxiously: “Save People are like fighting a fire, we have to go down earlier to rescue my second uncle and Wu Banxian!"

"How to get down?" Zhou Bo asked.

Another person then asked, "Who are you sending down?"

"I'm going!" I replied without hesitation.

Everyone looked at me, Uncle Zhou said unhurriedly: "Fengfeng, you want to save your second uncle, we understand, but now is not the time to be a hero, it's so dark down here, and I don't know how deep it is, Moreover, it is underground, completely closed, and the air does not circulate at all. If you go down, you will not be able to breathe, which is tantamount to dying. Even if you want to go down, you have to wait for the stale air inside to be discharged and fresh air to enter. Only then can it be done."

"Then what about my second uncle and Wu Banxian?" I was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

"No way." Zhou Bo said, "Whether they live or die depends on their fate."

I suddenly thought, isn't there a tree underneath?And the tree is obviously alive, the survival of the tree is still inseparable from the air, so the bottom is not closed, but ventilated!I quickly explained my analysis, and Uncle Zhou said with a stern face, "Don't you understand? That tree is no ordinary tree, I'm afraid it's a demon tree! Have you ever seen a tree that grows upside down? "

"So what if it's a demon tree? I can't leave my second uncle alone!" I said as I lit a piece of paper and threw it down from the hole. The burning paper fell into the hole about half a meter deep, like A gust of wind blew by, and the flame suddenly deflected and went out.

"Did you see that?" Uncle Zhou said, "It's full of turbid air down here. If you want to go down, you're sure to die!"

My tears finally flowed down. If this is the case, my second uncle and Wu Banxian will definitely not survive, and their death is directly related to me. If I didn't want to build a house here, how could something happen to them?
