Wearing Pandora is swollen and broken [Greek mythology]

Seventh day of the journey.

According to Pan Duoduo's step counting method, the cow moves about 8 steps forward every day, and counting the cow's stride, it is about 280 kilometers.They walked for a total of seven days, that is to say, from the time of departure to the present, they have probably traveled more than [-] kilometers in the northeast direction.

However, in the first few days of the journey, there were many mountains and mountains, and the road was rugged. They were either walking through canyons or crossing hills and mountains. It was not until the last day or two that they stepped into the plains.If you calculate the straight-line distance, the estimated 280 kilometers will probably shrink a lot.

Along the way, Pan Duoduo has seen a lot of primitive and magnificent scenery. It has to be said, nature - the greatest painter generously depicts endless shocking beauty, which makes Pan Duoduo, who is almost from the surrounding city scenery, feel emotional And intoxicated.

However, eating and sleeping in the open air is obviously much harder than staying comfortably in a small nest. The most obvious thing is that Pan Duoduo and his party don't look as glamorous as they did when they set off.Although she has been urging everyone to pay attention to cleanliness during the journey, it is not possible to find a suitable water source for bathing every day, and it is not easy to wash clothes every day because of traveling.

Fortunately, the weather now belongs to the category of high autumn and crisp air. The dirt is a bit dirty, but I don't sweat much, so it's tolerable.

According to the experience of Epimetheus, they can reach the seaside after walking for two more days, and then they can travel along the coastline.

Sea, thinking of the blue sea water and the humid and refreshing sea breeze, Pan Duoduo immediately felt much refreshed.At the moment, I am also full of energy, planning to arrive at the beach early for a comfortable sea bath, and then have a seafood feast.

When it comes to seafood, her mind wanders a little far away, and she thinks about all kinds of seafood that can be found in the intertidal zone, such as oysters, crabs, groupers, snails, sea urchins... Ah, not good , I really get hungry more and more.

"Dodo, Dodo?"

Epimetheus' calls came to her ears one after another, and Pan Duoduo finally recovered from her fantasy.Turning his head to look at the place where the sound came from, he saw the young Shenzi looking at her worriedly, and the little bean in his arms was very speechless.

"what happened?"

"Duoduo, the sky is getting dark, we should find a place to rest. Just now I saw a cave over there, it should be a good shelter, we might as well spend the night there."

"Okay," Pan Duoduo nodded happily, "Where is that cave?"

Epimisius paused for a moment, then murmured in a low voice, "We've already passed..."

At this moment, Xiao Douding didn't care about Pan Duoduo's face, and condemned her resentfully: "My uncle and I have called you for a long time, and you ignored us, so you just know how to get bored and go forward on your own!" Stupid woman!

Uh... Pan Duoduo was a little guilty, and hurriedly folded his hands together and sincerely apologized to them: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was lost in thought just now. Is this close to that cave? If not, let's turn back. "

"Hmph." The child wrinkled his nose and snorted, "I think you just want to eat, right? I heard you swallowing from a long distance..."

However, before he finished speaking, his uncle covered his mouth.Epimetheus gently pinched his nephew's little nose, and smiled at Pan Duoduo, "The cave is not far away, and we haven't walked too much. When we get there, we will make delicious food for Dodo. Today's dinner should be very rich."

Pan Duoduo: ...That's right, she was thinking about something to eat just now, but how did the two of them guess it?

Although Epimetheus expressed it very euphemistically, he obviously meant the same thing as his nephew, right?What did she do to make them have such a foodie impression of her?

Although a bit embarrassing, Pan Duoduo still tried her best to maintain a serious expression, she nodded reservedly in agreement, "Okay then, let's go back and have a look now."

......

The cave that Epimetheus was talking about was really not far away. They drove the cattle back for a short distance, and Pan Duoduo saw the dark cave entrance in the distance at a glance.

"That's right there, Dodo. How's it going, doesn't it look good?" Epimetheus pointed to the hole.

"Let's tie the cow here, let's go and have a look first, if it's suitable, we'll stay here tonight." Pan Duoduo suggested.

"it is good."

Epimetheus and Pan Duoduo decided to let the child stay where they were and wait, and the two of them went to explore the cave.

This place is a small piece of hilly land that is rare in the Great Plains, but it is also scattered with some naturally formed low cliffs.At this moment, in front of them is a bare rock mountain wall that has been chopped by an axe. The entire mountain wall is not high, and there are some bushes and shrubs around it.

Looking at the dark hole, Pan Duoduo always felt a little uncomfortable.She observed carefully and found that the entrance of the cave should be relatively dry, with no moss or other small plants growing.

"Amy, are there any large beasts living in this cave?"

"I don't smell any animal smell, so there shouldn't be any. Even if there is, I'm not afraid. It's just a good addition to dinner."

The corners of Pan Duoduo's mouth twitched when she heard this, she dared to believe that her family is really like a dog, distinguishing territory by smell.

"Dodo, how is it? I think this is a very nice place. How about we stay here tonight?" Epimetheus was obviously very satisfied with the place he found.

Pan Duoduo hesitated in his heart.

It's clean, not damp, and it looks spacious...all of these are in great condition...there is such a good place, it should have been occupied by powerful wild animals..... .

But Amy said there was no smell of beasts here.

The best things should be owned by the most powerful beings, and this is the law in nature.So, without wild beasts, is it possible that there is an existence that even wild beasts fear...

Suddenly there was an evening wind blowing, and it seemed that strands of wind were blowing into the cave entrance. After a while, Pan Duoduo felt a soft, crackling sound coming from the depths of the cave. whisper.

A bone-piercing chill spread from the deepest part of my heart for no reason, and Pan Duoduo couldn't help shivering hard.She raised her head and stared at the pitch-black hole, her expression as solemn as if frozen by frost.At this moment, she was very clear in her heart that she was not frightened by her guess just now, the source of her trembling was the hole itself.

Or rather, something in the hole.

It was an intuition of facing the fate of life and death, and the instinct imprinted in the depths of her soul was crazily clamoring for her to escape here, the sooner the better, the farther the better.

"Duodo?" The young Son of Titan noticed that the girl had suddenly grabbed his cuff, and turned his head suspiciously.The next moment, the girl's cheeks that had lost all color made his pupils constrict suddenly. He quickly took the girl's hand into his palm and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

"Quick... Get out of here quickly... The farther the better..." Pan Duoduo intermittently said to him with trembling eyelashes, his voice became weaker and weaker, "Dangerous. …”

Epimetheus turned his head and glanced at the hole where there was nothing unusual. Although he felt strange, he didn't hesitate. He immediately picked up the girl and ran away from the hole.When they arrived at the place where they tied the cattle, Xiao Douding was startled when he saw his uncle rushing towards the pale woman in his arms, and quickly asked, "Uncle, how did she become like this?"

"I don't know, it happened all of a sudden," Epimetheus was worried and confused, "Dodo wants us to stay away from that cave, saying that the farther the better, and it's dangerous. But since Dodo is so Having said that, it must make sense, let's leave quickly."

Xiao Douding looked at the woman who was too weak to speak, feeling worried and awkward.Seeing that she usually looks very troublesome and annoying, but now she is suddenly so miserable, it makes him feel uncomfortable.He hesitated and pointed his finger, raised his head and said to his uncle, "Uncle, let me ride a cow by myself, uncle take good care of my sister."

Epimetheus was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a little emotional, "Diudiu has really grown up, uncle is so happy. But can Diudiu do it by himself?"

When his ability was questioned, the child was not happy, and immediately pouted his mouth to justify himself, "This girl...my sister has already practiced with me, isn't it just riding a bull by herself? I can do it .”

"Okay, but be careful."

"Understood, don't dawdle uncle, didn't my sister say to leave quickly? Let's go quickly, maybe she can get better soon."

"Okay, let's go."

Soon, this small brigade set off hastily again.The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on this small hill, stretching the sparse tree shadows long and obliquely.

Epimetheus hugged the girl in his arms and frowned tightly.

He had been by her side just now, and nothing had happened, but the girl's reaction seemed to have been seriously injured... At this time, her body was drenched in cold sweat, and her whole body seemed to have just been taken out of the water. Pick it up in general.

Seeing the girl's tightly closed eyelashes, he tightly wrapped the girl's fur in distress, and finally hesitated for a moment, then kissed her moist forehead softly.

What's in that hole... that makes Dodo so scared?
