Chapter 202 Volcanic Caves (Part 2)
"Hmm? Will you catch a cold?"
After hearing Abao's words, Zhao Hongtao, who was sweating outside, was about to drill into the hole, stopped. He knew that he was sweating a lot now, and if the temperature suddenly dropped, he might get sick.
"It's very similar to the symptoms of colds and fevers. The body's temperature will rise, but there are also different places from colds and fevers..."
Abao shook his head, looked around, lowered his voice and said, "It's an indescribable disease. It can make people feel weak and uncomfortable than a cold or fever. Sometimes it won't be cured for a month or two. The wizards in the Miao village said they were possessed by evil spirits..."
When Abao was a child, he often came to play in this Miao Village village. Once, he and Amin and a few friends had fun for a day, and then he secretly got into the cave and stayed in it for about half an hour.
Who knew that after coming up, Abao and Amin and his children became sick. At first, they had a fever and talked nonsense. The temperature was as high as 39 degrees. After a few hours, although the temperature dropped, they still didn't wake up.
The villagers of Miao Village are obviously very experienced in this kind of matter. They did not send their children to the hospital outside the mountain, but took them to the place where the old people lived in the village.
At that time, the most prestigious person in the Miao village in Shishan Village was not the village chief, but a village elder who was over 90 years old. The village elder also had another identity, that is, a wizard who was jointly supported by all Miao villages in the mountains. His words would be followed by all Miao people.
This is not the first time that some naughty children in the village have sneaked into the cave. After summoning the villagers, the villagers held a sacrifice and burned several paper talismans to ashes for several children to drink.
It’s strange to say that Abao and the others, who were originally unconscious, woke up immediately after drinking water mixed with ashes, but their bodies were still very weak. After Abao returned to his home, he rested for almost a month or two before he recovered his health.
It was also since this incident that Abao rarely went to Miaozhai Village to play again. Even in the past, he did not dare to approach this cave anymore. Now that he is old, he recalls what happened back then. He is still a little chilled, but just standing at the entrance of the cave, he feels a little chilled all over.
"Hmm? There's something like this?"
After hearing Abao tell the story of what happened to him, Zhao Hongtao frowned slightly, thought for a while before speaking, "Bao, could there be any unknown virus in this cave? You actually got sick because you were infected with the virus because you were young?"
Zhao Hongtao knew that in many relatively closed and cold places, unknown viruses will breed, and the children's resistance is relatively poor, and the symptoms that will only occur after being infected by the virus.
"I don't know this either. Anyway, I have never been to this cave since that time..."
Abao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Adults will get sick after staying in for a long time. Since the death of the old man in Shicun, no one can cure this disease. So now even people in Shicun dare to move around the cave. No one dares to go deeper into it..."
The village elder in Shicun died when he was 100 years old, and the wizard tradition in the mountains has since been cut off.
In the second year after the death of the village elder, several children went into the cave to play again, but this time they did not have the good luck of Abao back then. Two of the five children who entered died in a coma.
At this point, both adults and children in the village rarely approached this cave. After the government was willing to help them build brick and tile houses, the entire village moved to the back of the stone mountain and left the cave far away.
In this mountains of Qiong Province, in addition to the people in Miaoli Village, there are many animals living in it. As we all know, many animals like to live in caves, but no animal dares to enter this cave, which also gives this cave a mysterious color.
"Boss Zhao, just go in and take a look, don't go too far..." Although this cave is a bit scary, Abao knows that it doesn't matter if he just walks around the entrance of the cave. He used to bring some guests here to play.
"Okay, I'll just look at the entrance of the cave and don't go inside..." Zhao Hongtao nodded. With his current age, he was no longer the kind of passionate and naughty boy, and he was even more unwilling to take risks and do something extraordinary without any preparation.
"Old Man, Fang Yi, can you get in?" Zhao Hongtao turned his head and looked at Man Jun and Fang Yi, and said, "If you get in, wear more clothes on your body, don't be troublesome if you get really frost-sick..."
At this time, the three of them were wearing big shorts and T-shirts, but they put a thin coat in the car. They were originally afraid of carrying more mosquitoes in the mountains, but they did not expect that they would come in handy in this place.
"In, go in and see it's okay..." Man Jun and Fang Yi nodded at the same time, but what they thought was very different now.
In Man Jun's opinion, entering the cave was just an ordinary experience at best. He did not live in this mountain, nor was he a geological archaeologist. Even if this cave was mysterious, it had nothing to do with him.
But Fang Yi was different. When Abao said that when the village used paper talismans to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases, he felt that the wizard in the stone mountain was probably a practitioner with guidance and practice. The function of the paper talisman was probably the same as the talismans he made. This cave should be the location of an extremely yin place.
According to Fang Yi's analysis, the reason why children get sick is most likely caused by the yin energy in the cave. As the saying goes, lonely yin does not produce lonely yang and does not grow. Once yin and yang are not regulating, physical diseases will be caused. Especially for children with weak resistance, extreme yin places are often fatal.
Of course, these were just guessed by Fang Yi. What was the reason? He still needed to enter the cave to find out. This made Fang Yi feel a little nervous while expecting it, because this was the first time he had seen a place of extreme yin.
In fact, for the extremely yin land, there is no difference between wearing more and wearing less clothes. However, after seeing Zhao Hongtao and Man Jun put on their coats, Fang Yi also put on his very thin windbreaker, which was finally better than nothing.
"Abao, do you have anything like a little hammer in your car?" After picking up the clothes from the car, Zhao Hongtao asked Abao.
"There is no hammer, only a wrench and a screwdriver..." Abao opened the glove box and took out a wrench and a screwdriver from it.
"As long, lend me first..." Zhao Hongtao reached out and took it. He just now focused on the entrance of the big banyan tree and the cave, but he had not yet begun to analyze the reasons for the formation of this stone mountain.
"Boss Zhao, please take the flashlight too. Remember, just go in ten meters and don't stay in it for too long..." Abao handed over a flashlight and explained it a few words, but Abao believed that even if he didn't say this, Zhao Hongtao and the others would not be able to stay in the cave.
"I understand..." Zhao Hongtao nodded, and the other party Yi and Man Jun said, "You two follow me, don't go too deep..."
It was originally a relaxing experience similar to traveling. After being told by A Bao, Zhao Hongtao actually felt a little nervous. After explaining to the two people behind him, Zhao Hongtao took the lead to the entrance of the cave.
Below the huge stone mountain, the entrance to the cave, about two meters high, looks like a small hole is opened, not very eye-catching, but standing at the entrance of the cave, looking inside, the dark and silent cave will give people an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.
Zhao Hongtao did not rush into the room, but used a wrench to knock on the rock next to the cave, holding a stone that was knocked down in his hand.
"Brother Zhao, what kind of stone is this?" Fang Yi asked behind Zhao Hongtao. He also grew up in the mountains, but he had never seen such a dark color, and some shallow holes in the stone performance, like a beehive.
"Volcanic stones, probably right..."
Zhao Hongtao looked at the stone in his mouth and said with confusion: "This stone mountain should be the product formed after the volcano eruption, but it seems that only the Qiongbei region has erupted volcanoes in Qiong Province. I have never heard of it. And after the volcano erupts, a crater will form, not a cave?" (To be continued.)
