The night was dark and the wind was high, the mountain wind was howling, and under the lighting of several high-power flashlights, four people were constantly knocking on the lock on the iron door with crowbars.

Although the chain and the lock on it have a key, it is too rusted, and it takes a lot of effort to open it.

After trying it over and over again, several people simply got into the guys.

Fortunately, this big lock is made of brass and is not very strong. After being greeted by a crowbar and axe, it is decisively unable to hold on.

Because he didn't want to open this door, Xing Tianyu was exhausted when he was working. After only a few hits, he was forced to replace him by Xiao Zhen, who saw the signs.

Xiao Zhen and Qin Mingzheng smashed the door together. One of them likes to take risks and explore the unknown, and the other is very excited about the property they are about to obtain. That's really energetic.

"I said, why don't you want to see what's inside?" Ning Wenrui, who was standing aside and resting, suddenly asked.

Xing Tianyu glanced at Ning Wenrui.

Although what Ning Wenrui said just now makes sense, Xing Tianyu always feels that the other party intends to guide Qin Ming to open the door to satisfy his curiosity.

Sometimes he doesn't like Ning Wenrui's character of thinking too much. Although he admits that Ning Wenrui is a little clever and has a lot of ideas on weekdays, sometimes he feels that this kid is obviously a bit too high in self-esteem and is a little too confident in his IQ. Therefore, he feels that he needs to give his roommate, who is only half a year younger than him, some life guidance.

Sighing, Xing Tianyu said in a low tone, "Let me tell you why, when I was very young, my heart was once full of curiosity, and I always felt that the world was full of magical secrets and countless unknowns were waiting for me to explore.

Are there unknown aliens in the universe, are there monsters in the deep ocean, and are there ancient civilizations in the center of the earth? Various strange ideas always attract me. A voice in the dark tells me that I am destined to find the truth hidden behind those great secrets in this life.

Of course, those things were too far away for me who was still in elementary school at that time. I felt that I had to wait until I went to college and became a scientist to build a spaceship or a deep-sea submarine before I could explore it. However, not every unknown secret is so far away from me. There are two unknown secrets, which are very close to me, so close that they are almost within reach.

The first unknown that attracted me was what was behind the mountain opposite my house.

The second goal is what is inside the pit in the west of the village.

The desire for the unknown truth is like a thorn on my back torture me forever, making me feel at ease. One day I finally made up my mind to find out the truth of the matter.

I first brought enough food and spent a whole morning climbing up to the top of the hill. Standing on the top of the mountain, I finally saw the scene behind the mountain."

"What is that?" Ning Wenrui asked curiously.

"A town, a town I used to visit, but because I used to take a bus to go around the distance, I didn't know that our village was separated by a mountain from that town."

Ning Wenrui was obviously disappointed and speechless when he heard this answer. He looked like his sister was not playing tricks on me.

Xing Tianyu smiled, "I was very disappointed when I saw this result, but hey, the truth and answers of many things are so dull, right?"

"But I didn't give up. The next day, I came to the entrance of the cave in the west of the village. The cave was a crack that was diagonally downward. It seemed to be formed by an earthquake more than ten years ago. Because of the angle, the cave was so dark that it was impossible to see the bottom.

Adults always warn children to stay away from the hole, and to scare children not to approach the hole, they weave all kinds of terrible stories. But because of this, the hole has a mysterious color in our children's hearts, but no one dared to go down until that morning.

I tied a rope to the trunk of a big tree next to the hole, and then climbed down the rope. The hole was very narrow, and many places were almost half a foot wide. However, because I was a child, I squeezed down. Finally, after climbing down for more than ten meters, I approached the bottom of the hole--."

"Where is what?" Ning Wenrui asked calmly, but the curiosity in his eyes betrayed his heart.

"Snakes, many snakes. It turns out that there is a lot of sand under the cave, so it is regarded as a place for hibernation by the snake. Hundreds of snakes entrenched at the bottom of the cave. When my flashlight shone on it, I was immediately frightened by the scene I saw. The ideas of finding secrets were completely thrown behind me. Any adventure and unknown are not as good as the hot kang at home and the supper made by my mother."

I tried my best to climb back, but because I was too panic, I was stuck in a gap in the cave during the climb. I couldn't go up or down, I couldn't breathe smoothly, and the surroundings were extremely dark. What's worse was that my flashlight had fallen. I couldn't move in the darkness. For the first time in my life, I felt so stupid. Why did I get into this ghost hole for no reason? I felt that I was dead. Those snakes would definitely climb up and bite me to death. Even if those snakes didn't climb up, I would starve to death or to death sooner or later."

Xing Tianyu said, with a hint of fear on his face. The memories of the past emerged in his mind again. The memories that had been blurred, those fears that had been forgotten at one time became so vivid. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He originally thought he had forgotten them.

"Then what?"

Xing Tianyu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Then, I could only leave the will. I was stuck in the dark for more than ten hours. My family was crazy looking for me everywhere. People in the village also came to help. The last old man who grazed cattle found a rope tied to a tree and called someone. I was finally rescued. The scratches and strong fright made me lie in the hospital for three days. Three days later, I went home. My parents didn't blame me, nor did they persuade me anymore, because they knew that such a terrible experience in reality worked more than any rational advice. Fortunately, I survived such danger, and not everyone had such luck. From that day I understood a truth-

The exploration of unknown and mysterious things is always accompanied by crises and misfortunes. Sometimes we will find that the truth of things is dull, and that may be an extremely lucky result. Sometimes, we will find that in the deep and dark cave, what awaits us is a realistic and cruel answer. Therefore, the rational I have no longer taken unnecessary risks since then."

Speaking of this, Xing Tianyu suddenly raised his head and looked at Ning Wenrui.

"You may think I'm too timid, but only timid people can live for a long time. The genes that we fear darkness passed down from our ancestors are not without reasons."

The sound of metal collision interrupted the conversation between the two people. They looked up and Xiao Zhen had already smashed the door lock there.

"It seems that we have no choice anymore, right? Xing Tianyu said and fucked the crowbar. Let's see what kind of unknown is hidden in this hole."
