Mountains and seas close at hand

Knowing the current situation, everyone is refreshed.Keeping the original formation, follow Ji Bao to go deeper.

One kilometer, 1000 meters, is neither long nor short, especially in such a strange and depressing environment.All kinds of thoughts turned over and over in my mind, previewing all kinds of dangers I might encounter.

To my surprise, nothing happened.There are no traps or beasts, we passed through the mountain path safely and saw rabbits.

In a circular square the size of a basketball court, there was a person lying on the ground.Don't think about it, it must be a rabbit.But none of us ventured forward.

"What's on the ground?"

Ji Bao shook the flashlight, and I took a closer look: "Bags, tools, and a few pipes, some are red...you can't see them?"

Ji Bao handed me the flashlight and stepped forward with a gun in his hand.Miss Bai put down her backpack and took out a burning stick, and rubbed it against the wall. "Hiss..." The light red light instantly illuminates the surroundings.

Although the light of the burning stick is dimmer than the flashlight, it is like a torch that can illuminate the surroundings.

The whole view of the cave came into view, I glanced at it, and hurriedly followed.Lying on the ground was a young man in his 30s, handsome and harmless.Even though I am in a strange coma at this moment, it still gives me a feeling that humans and animals are harmless, and it is true that people live up to their names.

Ji Bao and I checked our breathing and felt our pulse, and we struggled for a long time without waking him up.

"Heartbeat and breathing, why have you been in a coma? Do you need artificial respiration." Ji Bao said and pressed a few more times, "How do you do this?"

I blurted out, "I don't know how to do artificial respiration."

Ji Bao slanted at me, and was about to speak when Chubu shouted, "There's something on the wall."

I was startled when I heard it, and I clenched my dagger and looked over.I saw Chubu holding a power station on the mountain wall. Under the light, you can see shallow lines carved on the stone wall.False alarm, a few of us walked over together.

Miss Bai held the burning stick, and I looked up to observe carefully.

I was very disappointed, not the inscription stone carvings I was looking forward to, but the petroglyphs that were imaginative and unconstrained.The artist sketched at random without sticking to one pattern, carving out various strange shapes with lines.It's like Kandinsky's war mixed with Mondrian's geometry.

I shook my head: "It's really strange. If it weren't for the consistency of the lines, I doubt it was natural erosion."

"The same line may be formed naturally." Miss Bai walked forward slowly, and suddenly called softly, "Ban Yan, come and see."

I walked over quickly, and said with a surprised smile: "It's like witnessing the birth of an ancient painter."

With our footsteps, the stone wall slowly unfolds like a huge painting.From unrecognizable abstraction, to stick figure, to delicate line drawing.Horned deer, elephants, birds... one by one came out of the ancient and simple rock paintings, running and flying in front of my eyes.

The full sun and the moon, one rises and the other falls, everything grows, and time passes.

"It's a strange feeling." Miss Bai stopped in front of a picture of a man with feathers, and sighed in a low voice, "It's so simple that I don't even have facial features, but I seem to have seen it with my own eyes."

I stood side by side with her, looked up at the feathered man with the crown on his head, and said with a smile: "Probably the power of history."

She turned her head to look at me, and repeated in doubt: "The power of history?"

"History is the coordinates in time." I looked at the little man with wings fluttering in front of me, as if I saw the ancients' desire for the sky, for flying, and for the sun. "Humans look back to their past, so as not to get lost."

"Come on!" Ji Bao shouted, shaking the flashlight, "You two are almost fine. You can do lectures in museums or do feasibility studies in research institutes. But please tell me something useful. It’s not about traveling outdoors, sketching in the wild, comprehending life, washing the soul, exchanging feelings and promoting sublimation...”

I quickly interrupted her continuous cannonball: "Okay, okay, I didn't delay the matter. The rabbit is also found, let's withdraw."

Ji Bao was at a loss for words, as if stuck, and choked out a sentence for a long time: "Don't look at it anymore? Maybe you will become Van Gogh later. Let me tell you, I still have a map of hell here. Look at this line. Not like Styx."

I poked my head over to see that it was a huge and complex painting.It is divided into two distinct parts, and many vertical waves are used in the middle to draw a wide river.

Below the river, there are all kinds of people painted.A king wearing a golden crown, a wizard wearing a mask, a warrior holding a sword, a farmer plowing, and a vendor pushing a cart.

Above the river, things are much weirder.Fire-breathing monsters, beaked monsters, three-headed monsters, beaded strange trees...

"Nothing, nothing." Chubb came from the entrance of the cave, "I turned around, and there is nothing."

I nodded, this cave is very high, but not big.You can see clearly as soon as the flashlight shines, except for the unconscious rabbit and the tools scattered around him, the rest is empty.

My thoughts turned sharply, and I said to Ji Bao calmly: "This place is so big, you can see it at a glance. Now that the rabbit is in such a situation, we have to send him to the hospital as soon as possible without delay."

Without waiting for Ji Bao to speak, I turned to Chubu and said, "Can I trouble you to recite it? It's a waste of time for us girls to get him out. Don't worry, how much is it? Just ask him when he wakes up." .”

Chubb stood at the entrance of the cave and didn't speak immediately. My heart sank, and I heard him say, "Okay."

I hurriedly said: "Thank you." This is sincere, even if he is for money, I am still very grateful.

Miss Bai stood next to the rabbit's backpack, holding a hammer-like object, looked at it again and again, and said hesitantly: "I just saw the cut marks of a climbing pick on the rock wall."

"Does the rabbit want to go up?" Ji Bao took a flashlight and looked up. "This cave is high enough. There's nothing on the top? Look, I'm a bit night blind."

The rock wall at the bottom of the cave is very smooth, and the original mountain wall is at the top.Slightly bumpy, but otherwise nothing special.There is not even a bat, why does the rabbit want to climb up?Could it be that he fell and passed out?

"Let's go." Chubb urged with the rabbit on his back.

I nodded, and Miss Bai put away the rabbit's scattered tools on the ground, together with the used burning sticks, light sticks, and food waste bags, and stuffed them into his bag.

Because they are familiar with the road conditions and know that there is no danger, everyone is very fast.Seeing the faint light at the entrance of the cave, I was relieved.

I think of the Bashu graphic language on the stone wall, and the petroglyphs in the cave.That's all for rock paintings, Bashu graphic language has always been a vague word.The mainstream voices in the archaeological world agree that the ancient Shu Kingdom had no writing.

The so-called Bashu pictographs are just symbols with specific meanings.Similar to ancestral emblems, totems, or auspicious patterns.The most famous Sanxingdui site has unearthed a large number of cultural relics, but only seven symbols.Moreover, these symbols are scattered on different utensils.It's more like the creator's random graffiti.And the later Jinsha site also has no writings unearthed.

Most of the surviving Bashu pictographs come from the enlightened dynasty period in the late ancient Shu period, that is, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Central Plains.And they all appear on seals and the like alone, only a few appear at the same time.This is almost an ironclad proof - there is no...

"Get down!"

A huge force hit me, I only felt a pain in my abdomen, and the person had already flown out.Before he could react, he fell to the ground with a "plop".

"Crack clack clack clack clack clack clack clack!"

The moment I fell, thousands of small firecrackers exploded in my ears at the same time.Before I had time to react, my eyes went dark, I don't know what was covering it, I could only smell a faint fragrance.

"do not move."

Miss Bai's voice rang in her ears, with a calmness that she tried to restrain.I breathed out slowly, feeling myself being pulled back.

The crackling sound disappeared after a few seconds, but it seemed like a century had passed.Miss Bai raised her arms, and the light came back to my eyes.She leaned close to me and called out worriedly, "Half smoke?"

I gasped for a few quick breaths, then came back to my senses and said, "I'm fine."

I was really fine, because I was covered by a backpack, and I didn't hit my vitals, but my heart almost sank to the bottom of the icy lake.The voice just now is too familiar, even if you only heard it once, you will never forget it.Manda slowly walked ashore from the gloomy lake, he opened his mouth blankly...

"Don't move." Ji Bao said dryly behind us, "I'll pull you back."

Now I understand why the rabbit wants to climb up.The entrance of the cave is guarded by insinuating worms, so they can only find another way.

I sat up carefully and looked towards the entrance of the cave.Because there is still some distance away, and the light is already dim, and the outside situation cannot be seen clearly.I took off my backpack, knelt and crawled forward and patted Chubb on the shoulder.

"Chubb? Chubb?"

Chubb snorted and said hoarsely, "I'm fine."

The few of us worked together to pull away the rabbit that was pressing on him, and then dragged him back.Everyone was extremely nervous, and the cave was full of suppressed breathing.

My eyes never left the hole, even if the wind blew, I was startled.

When Miss Bai yelled, Chubu also noticed something strange.He turned and ran subconsciously, but bumped into me.I took a staggered step and brought Miss Bai down. Only the severed Ji Bao survived.

Chubb and Rabbit were at the front, they weren't as lucky as me.The dense black sand behind the rabbit, like thousands of black sesame seeds, made me feel sick.Chubb had him in the way, except for some stains on his calves.

"Take off your clothes quickly. Wait!" Miss Bai lowered her head and pulled out a pair of gloves, "Half smoke, let me go.

Seeing that her face was extremely pale, I was filled with emotions, and I snatched the gloves from her hand.She froze for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "Be careful, don't touch it."

Ji Bao stood guard at the entrance of the cave with a gun in his hand, and said, "I have antibiotics and serum in my bag."

She speaks very fast, but it is different from the usual chattery show.Silent restlessness and restrained composure spread between us.The light ahead is full of murderous intentions, and the darkness behind has no way out.

I cut the rabbit's quick-drying clothes with a dagger.Be careful when cutting, for fear of touching the black sand or shaking it off.My worries are superfluous, those black sands are like sticking to clothes.I swipe a few times, cut the quick-drying clothes into two pieces, and when I want to roll them up, I realize that the black sand is not sticking to the clothes, but sticking to the skin.
