Human bone cart
Ding Can rubbed the dirt on his fingers. "Why do you say that? Did that fan tell you some secret?"
Since I have been there before, it is hard to say whether I have discovered anything strange in Nanhu Village.
But Mu Mu just shook his head. "He just said it was worth visiting and that it was a rare place. The reason I think so is because of my experience traveling around the country over the past two years. Although sometimes those legends that have been passed down from a long time ago sound untrue, no matter how bizarre they are, we can't take them lightly."
After becoming a travel blogger, in addition to seeing rare beautiful scenery, I also have more opportunities to broaden my horizons.
Personal experience is completely different from the information obtained through social media. Of course, she has also encountered the existence and power of some unnatural factors.
Although science is valued nowadays and few people believe in ghosts and gods, the world is so big that there are some things that cannot be explained clearly by words.
At the beginning of this year, just after the Spring Festival, when she went to the southwest, she visited the local funeral customs. They were an ethnic minority. When someone in the tribe died, the body would be kept in a special Taoist temple for three days and three nights. After that, the family would choose a stone on the mountain as a spirit stone for the deceased.
The custom has not changed over the years, and the spirit stones piled in the temple have evolved into a stone pile surrounded by brightly colored prayer flags.
Although the tour guide mentioned that we should not touch the stones because it would disturb the souls sleeping there, someone still couldn't help but secretly took one out to have a look. There were red scriptures written on the surface of the stone, and he wanted to see what the details were.
Then something went wrong. On the way down the mountain, we passed a cliff.
The man seemed to have lost his mind and walked straight to the edge of the cliff in broad daylight. If the local guide had not rushed over and pulled him back, he would have jumped off the cliff.
He was still talking nonsense after being rescued. The tour guide realized the seriousness of the matter and found someone to help support the man and bring him back to a nursing home in the village.
I don't know what he did, but he finally recovered his spirits. When others asked him about this, he said that he just thought he was walking on flat ground, and there were group members calling him in front.
But at that time, everyone was actually standing behind her.
Fortunately, it was the last day of the trip, and everyone quickly packed up and left.
However, after this incident, Mu Mu became more cautious. Due to her work, she might inevitably experience some adventures, but there were also ways to keep herself safe.
The most important thing is to listen carefully to any advice from the locals and put it into action.
When she learned about the existence and origin of the bone cart in Nanhu Village, she decided not to touch the taboos in the village and only complete the tasks recommended by her.
Gao Wenwen looked at the scenery in the distance and said, "But everyone has come here with great difficulty. It would be boring if we just stay in the house every day."
Mu Mu pouted and said, "There might be bones buried underground anywhere in this village. I'm really a little scared. I'm not in good health to begin with, and it would be bad if I get sick from being scared."
She has a very thorough understanding of her body, although she usually appears to be full of energy in short videos.
But in reality, every time he goes out to play, he is only energetic for a few days, and then he has to rest for more than half a month. The characteristics of a fragile young man are obvious.
She admires herself very much for being able to stick to this career. Apart from being able to make money, it is probably partly because of her passion for it.
Ding Can lowered his eyes: "That's true, but it's amazing that you can go out alone. Many people don't dare to go out alone."
"Yes, as long as I am satisfied with myself." Mu Mu smiled happily. She has a good personality and probably many people pay attention to her because they are attracted to her for this.
"Hey, they've reached the center of the lake." She adjusted the position of the action camera and moved the lens up a little.
The water here is not flowing, and the boat easily stabilizes on the water. However, the distance is quite far, so I can't hear what they are saying over there. But looking at the faces of those people on the boat, I know that what they saw must be very spectacular, as a row of little heads were looking into the water.
Yu Fu thought of something: "The underwater cracks shouldn't be naturally formed. Wasn't it said that a major earthquake occurred in the capital of Nanhu Kingdom that year? Could it be under the rift valley?"
Mu Mu agreed: "It's possible, but with this kind of geographical environment, even researchers would find it difficult to mine. There must be a hidden world underneath, and it's very dangerous."
Yu Fu tried his best to look over there: "It would be great if I could see it clearly."
Mu Mu asked, "Didn't the village chief say that it's pitch black down there, so you can't see anything?"
Of course, she thought this was impossible, but Ding Can understood what Yu Fu meant. With him around, they could really see the scene under the lake clearly.
More than ten minutes later, the boat returned. Cheng Jialu jumped off first and reached out to help his girlfriend who was already standing at the stern: "Slow down."
Seeing his grinning face, Zhai Ting rolled her eyes and asked, "Why are you so happy?"
Cheng Jialu was in high spirits, as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. "You won't see such a magical scenery anywhere else. This trip was really worthwhile."
"It's just a slightly deeper lake. It's not as good as you say. I don't think it's interesting." She was feeling uncomfortable under the sun in the middle of the lake just now. If she had known, she would have applied more sunscreen before going out.
Seeing that his girlfriend was about to get angry again, Cheng Jialu hurried over and diligently helped her untie the straps of her life jacket, whispering something to comfort her.
Zhai Ting took off her life jacket and saw Gao Wenwen was closest to her, so she threw it to him: "Here, use it."
"Life jackets come in different sizes, okay? Can't you see I'm so big? I can't fit into them." Gao Wenwen said impatiently, threw it back to her, and picked up the one that had just been put down from the side.
This person is so rude.
"You..." Zhai Ting snorted, threw the life jacket back to Cheng Jialu, and walked forward by herself.
"I'm sorry, brother. My girlfriend isn't used to the environment here, so she spoke a little harshly. Please don't mind." He tidied up the life jacket and handed it over. After apologizing several times, he caught up with Zhai Ting who was going to the flowers.
After a simple preparation, another group of new people boarded the boat. Lao Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Hold on tight. We're leaving right away."
His reminder was actually unnecessary, because the boat was very stable even while moving, with almost no sign of shaking.
Ding Can touched the palm oil in the cabin, which now appeared reddish-brown under the sun. "Village Chief, this was just applied, right?"
"Yes, safety is the most important thing. Every time someone comes, we make sure the boat is stable in advance. We can't let a drop of water seep in from outside. After all, we are in the water, so we have to be careful."
The boat looks small from the outside, but it is actually quite deep. People don't feel crowded at all when they sit in it, and their legs can be stretched out well in the cabin.
Lao Wang's rowing movements are also very skillful. It seems that he doesn't use much strength, but he can row very far.
"Didn't they say the fish were caught from the lake? Why can't I see any here?"
"The fish here are very smart. They run away as soon as they see a boat coming. We catch fish by setting up bait in a deeper area ahead at night. We can only catch a basketful in the morning."
There are far more fish in this lake than they imagined, because there are actually no natural enemies. They are just probably hiding somewhere else in the lake.
Gao Wenwen raised his head and said, "I see there aren't many aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, so there's no risk of them getting tangled up in your feet. As for the two backpackers you mentioned who fell into the water, they weren't drunk, and that's why they couldn't get out after falling in, were they?"
"At that time, the tourism projects in Nanhu Village were not as developed as they are now. Only occasionally some backpackers would happen to walk into the village when they were touring nearby, so the two people did not have any other companions."
At that time, the two were just staying at the village chief's house, and the ancestral hall had not yet been opened for use.
When dinner was almost ready, Lao Wang discovered that the two people who had gone out to take pictures had not returned yet. They said they were going to the lake. He began to murmur in his heart, feeling that something was wrong.
I walked along the path. At first, there were weeds blocking the way and I didn't see anyone. I thought we had taken a wrong path and maybe they had gone back.
But to be sure, Lao Wang went to the lake to check. Sure enough, he noticed a small bag on the ground nearby. Their important things were inside. Could they have gone swimming in the lake? But he didn't see any clothes.
Confused, he walked forward to the shore and saw two bodies lying face down near the water. There was no sign of life at all.
"I saw at the time that there were no signs of trampled weeds on the shore, proving that the people simply went into the water without any struggle. That's why I thought they might have offended some spirit or something."
Lao Wang was still thinking about what to say, but then he thought that people had fallen into the lake, and it was not a good idea to talk about these things on the water, so he fell silent and continued rowing steadily.
Mu Mu clung to the side of the boat. He could vaguely see the dividing line ahead and quickly prepared his action camera. "We'll be there soon."
There is a big difference between hearing someone talk about it and seeing it with your own eyes. The moment the boat crossed the dividing line and reached the top of the rift valley more than ten meters high, the lake water turned black. Although the hull was still stable, the visual effect gave people an illusion of weightlessness.
"It's like there's another space underneath." Mu Mu exclaimed in admiration.
Lao Wang then slowly stopped the boat and said, "Several years ago, I saw a big fish here. It was probably just a coincidence that day. Usually they stay very deep down and rarely come up."
The earphones pinned to Mu Mu's collar were flashing regularly. "Could there be a lot of aquatic life in this rift valley? Or super-large ones?"
"Who knows?" Lao Wang scratched his head. "Maybe when technology becomes more advanced, we'll be able to go underwater and take a look."
Ding Can and Yu Fu sat in two seats at the bow of the boat, and everyone else could only see their backs.
Yu Fu stretched out his fingers and rubbed his eyelids a few times. When he opened his eyes again, a golden light shone from the depths of his pupils.
