Today, the sun shines on the mountain path, and Yue Yue and Gu Changmu slowly walk down the mountain.
Their eyes met from time to time, as if they were sharing their curiosity and expectations about this mysterious mountain.
Finally, they arrived at the ruins that they had accidentally glimpsed yesterday.
This ruin has obviously gone through the baptism of a long time, and the prosperity of the past has long disappeared.
When the two stepped in, all they saw were half-weathered houses. They looked like old people in their twilight years, crumbling to the ground.
This once bustling town is now mostly covered with lush greenery, and nature seems to be declaring its sovereignty in a unique way.
Yue Yue and Gu Changmu moved forward cautiously, being extremely careful with every step.
After all, this place has been uninhabited for a long time, and the ground conditions are unpredictable. If you are not careful, you may step on empty air and fall into an unknown abyss.
Moreover, this place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If an accident really happens, it would be difficult for anyone to arrive in time to rescue.
Gu Changmu was thoughtful. He picked up a wooden stick from beside him and handed it to Yue Yue.
The two men picked up the wooden sticks in tacit understanding and gently tapped the green vines spreading in front of them.
Doing this not only tests whether the road is safe, but also drives away poisonous snakes that may be hiding there.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of wooden sticks touching vines, they went deeper and deeper into this desolate land, groping their way towards the edge.
After a difficult journey, they finally reached the edge of the ruins.
Here, a huge stone tablet stands proudly. Although the stone wall has been broken after being washed and eroded by countless rains, Yue Yue and Gu Changmu still keenly noticed a strange pattern engraved on it.
After a closer look, they were surprised to find that the pattern was somewhat similar to a totem. What was even more surprising was that it was exactly the same as the pattern in the center of the town that they had seen through a telescope on the mountain yesterday!
When they saw the scene before them, a strong urge surged in their hearts - they must take a picture of it and bring it back to study it carefully and explore it in depth.
So they carefully took out their cameras, adjusted the angle and light, pressed the shutter, and recorded this mysterious and fascinating scene.
After finishing the filming, they took a short break and then headed towards the town center without stopping.
It is said that there stands a larger stone tablet there, with things engraved on it that are far more impressive than this one.
With full of expectations and curiosity, they embarked on this journey full of unknowns.
However, the journey was not smooth.
They remained highly alert and on edge at all times, as they encountered several ferocious venomous snakes along the way.
Fortunately, the brave and fearless Gu Changmu stepped forward and successfully drove away these uninvited guests with his agility and decisiveness.
Despite this, they are well aware that where poisonous snakes frequently appear, there must be more dangers lurking.
Therefore, at this moment they dared not relax at all, and they were fully focused, ready to deal with all kinds of strange creatures that might suddenly emerge from the dense grass.
Time passed minute by minute, sweat soaked their clothes, and their steps became heavier, but they still gritted their teeth and kept moving forward.
After a long and arduous three-hour journey, they finally arrived at the center of the town they had been longing for.
Looking up, the huge stone wall suddenly came into view.
Compared with what I have seen before, this stone wall is not only large in scale, but also has a wide variety of intricately carved patterns and symbols, as if telling a long and mysterious story.
This ancient stone tablet is densely packed with records of the long and tortuous history of the local area. The traces of time seem to tell the vicissitudes of the past in every line and every carving.
The numerous carvings on the stone tablet are like a mysterious scroll slowly unfolding.
Although those unfamiliar words were as difficult to decipher as the Book of Heaven, the clever Yueyue still managed to dig out a lot of valuable information from them with her keen observation and understanding of the patterns.
According to records, this place was once an important stronghold during the war years.
Due to the inhumane atrocities of the Japanese invaders, this land suffered unprecedented catastrophe.
Originally, this place was home to more than 3,000 hardworking and kind-hearted people from different nationalities. After hundreds of years of war and integration, they gathered together to form such a diverse and harmonious settlement.
However, when people finally lived a stable life and began to look forward to a better future, the devilish Japanese army rushed in like a hungry wolf.
This group of ruthless invaders attempted to occupy the vast land in order to obtain more resources to satisfy their greedy desires.
They unscrupulously extended their evil black hands to neighboring countries. For a time, the entire East Asian region fell into dire straits, and countless innocent people were killed and enslaved.
Whether it is our great motherland or other neighboring countries, none of them have escaped becoming victims of the iron hoof of the Japanese imperialism.
Even this once prosperous town could not escape its fate and eventually became a desolate ruin.
In the records in the first half, one can clearly feel the harmonious atmosphere brought about by the mutual tolerance and common development among various ethnic groups.
This scene of great ethnic integration should have continued to create an even more brilliant and glorious civilization.
But the hateful Japanese invaders ruthlessly broke this tranquility and peace, leaving an indelible mark of pain on this land.
