Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 97 Cave

   "At that time, my family hadn't done this business yet..." The boss started to remember as he walked.

"We only have a daughter, Miao Miao. When Miao Miao was young, she had a boy-like personality and liked to run around. At that time, I occasionally went up the mountain to sell things. When I went down the mountain, I happened to catch up with an old man who died in the village. People who died in Lianshui Village are usually buried in big funerals. During the big funeral, people in the village can't go out and people outside can't enter the village. I was trapped in the village by them. A path went down the mountain, and the sound of suona was so loud, I had already ran out of the village, and still felt that the sound of their stopping spirits was swaying in my ears... I was dizzy and suddenly saw the cave."

"The cave was halfway up the mountain. I didn't even notice that there was a hole there. I was supporting the big tree and running down the mountain. The road was too slippery. I accidentally fell and turned my head. A dark cave."

   "And at that time... don't laugh at me. When I saw the cave, I felt as if my mind became clear, and the funeral suona could not be heard. At that time, I really felt this way, and I remembered it all."

"That day, I was really a ghost, and I walked into the cave. It was cool and different from what it looked like. I don’t know why. It’s not dark. The cave got narrower and narrower. I didn’t know where to lead. It seems that something has happened and I forgot what happened... As soon as I came out of the cave, I found myself at the bottom of the mountain."

  The Taoist who was listening carefully heard the words and stopped.

  "Why did you forget what happened? You can remember other places very clearly, indicating that the cave left a deep impression on you."

"I don't know either." The boss took advantage of the situation and took a break. "I do remember this, but what happened in the cave is not because I have forgotten when I am old. At that time, I went down the mountain and returned home. I can’t remember it anymore. When I talked about it to my wife and Miao Miao, I had forgotten it.”

  A few people exchanged glances.

  This cave is also weird.

   "Big brother, you said that the cave is not dark, do you remember what it looks like in the cave?" Xiaoyin asked.

  The boss squinted his eyes, raised his head slightly and replied, "There is no special impression. It seems to be an ordinary cave, damp and dark green, and it doesn’t look like the kind that was dug out by hand..."

   "You go ahead," the leader simply stood beside the boss, "what happened after you went home, why did you take Miao Miao to the cave again?"

"As soon as the child Miaomiao heard that there was a cave, that curiosity came up. He had to ask me to take her to find it. At that time, Miaomiao was young and he was not afraid of the sky. I didn't plan to take her to find the cave. As a result, one day later, she ran to the mountain by herself. Her mother and I thought that the child was missing. We cried and asked where the child went. Some people said that we saw my family’s Miao Miao go up the mountain and we hurried to the mountain. Halfway through the run, I saw people from Lianshui Village pulling my family Miao Miao down the mountain. They saw me and quickly handed Miao Miao to me. They seemed to be a little angry. I didn’t understand what they said, so I came back to Miao Miao. Miao also admitted wrong, but when I saw her eyes, I was obviously still thinking about the cave."

   "Later, I thought, instead of letting the child look around by myself, I would take her there by myself. Anyway, it's just an ordinary cave. She doesn't feel special after seeing it once."

   "So, a few days later, I took her up the mountain by myself to find the cave."
