Two men were squatting by the south wall, one in his forties and the other in his twenties, both looked like honest farmers.
The part of the fermentation pond exposed above the ground had been smashed away, and the silt underneath had been dug away, revealing a large dark hole at the bottom of the pond. In the sunlight without a roof, it looked like a monster with its mouth wide open.
There is a large stone slab standing next to the big hole, which looks like the cover of the hole.
It was already 11 o'clock, and the sun was shining brightly on the floor of the dilapidated house without tiles.
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran nodded to the father and son and moved closer to the black hole.
The father and son looked at the two men nervously.
Under direct sunlight, the black hole remains a dark mass.
Zhou Xiang's eyes narrowed. This? Could this be a black hole?
Ling Ran held her hand and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild."
It turned out that Zhou Xiang's emotions and thoughts were clearly conveyed to Ling Ran through the Heart Seal when she was frightened.
"Ling Ran, what do you say we should do?"
Ling Ran thought about it for a moment and decided to go down and check it out himself. "I'll go down and take a look."
The father and son immediately stopped them, "No, no, you can't go down."
Seeing Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang turning around, the middle-aged man said, "You can't just go down there. It's dangerous."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Zhou Xiang pulled Ling Ran back to the cave entrance and asked, "Uncle, do you know something?"
The middle-aged man just shook his head and said nothing.
Zhou Xiang pulled down his mask and said, "I am Zhou Xiang, the boss of this project. If you don't tell me, we can only go down and investigate on our own."
The middle-aged man certainly knew Zhou Xiang, the genius of Xu Town! He hesitated for a long time before making up his mind, "Miss Zhou, you can't spread what I said."
Zhou Xiang nodded vigorously. "Of course. If it's something dangerous, I definitely won't let the townspeople get scared."
The middle-aged man instructed his son to go out, and only after his son left did he speak softly.
The middle-aged man also heard from his father that during the Anti-Japanese War, the town also suffered a lot of setbacks. This town was once called Wei Town, and it was the location of the Wei family's villa, a wealthy family that had accumulated wealth over hundreds of years.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the foreign devils raided the Wei Family Villa in Wei Town. It was said that there were screams that night, and then flames shot up into the sky. The villagers nearby did not dare to go out.
A few days later, when the devils left the town, some brave villagers secretly came to Wei Town to check. After checking, they were shocked to find that the Wei family villa had been reduced to ashes.
But all the bodies were buried in a pit, and no one knew the exact location of the pit after so many years.
The middle-aged man was afraid that this obviously deep hole was the one where the body was buried.
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran exchanged a glance, and Ling Ran comforted the middle-aged man, "Uncle, don't worry! We will find a way, you can go out first!"
The middle-aged man knew, of course, that the two men had not listened to him, but he was the boss and he had tried to persuade them, so he could only walk out and leave the place to the two young men who were fearless.
Zhou Xiang asked Ling Ran, "What do you think?"
Ling Ran shook his head. "I'll go down and take a look. While the sun is shining directly down there, I don't need any light from below. I should be able to see it."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "I'll go with you."
Ling Ran refused, "Why are you going down there?"
"I can take you and hide when there's danger."
Seeing her firm attitude, Ling Ran agreed, "Take out the rope, we'll go down with it, and then I'll tie you to my back."
Zhou Xiang took out a rope and a torn bed sheet. Ling Ran tied a knot in the rope to lengthen it, tied one end to the beam on the top of the cave, and threw the other end into the cave.
Zhou Xiang tore several strips of the torn bed sheet, gathered the rest, and lay on Ling Ran's back. Ling Ran then tied her to his back.
Zhou Xiang pulled Ling Ran, who was about to go down the pit, and asked, "Wait, do you have the powder in your house?"
"have."
Zhou Xiang moved another revolver from the study to Ling Ran's territory, "I put a revolver at your place."
"good."
Ling Ran began to climb down the cave.
Only after entering the dark cave could the two of them barely see the scene inside.
The hole seemed to have no bottom. It was round and about 3 meters in diameter. The fermentation pool above was very large, more than 20 square meters. No wonder the father and son were afraid of this strange deep hole.
After entering the cave about ten meters, there was no smell, but it seemed that there was not much air, and it was a bit suffocating.
"Think about it, go in."
Zhou Xiang had an idea in mind, and took Ling Ran into the space. He summoned two Type 4 fruits, handed one to him, and ate the other himself.
After they finished eating the fruit, Ling Ran said, "That hole seems to be empty."
Zhou Xiang disagreed. "We didn't feel anything when we first came down. The hole has just been opened, so the air probably hasn't circulated yet. Don't make a decision yet, or you'll mislead yourself."
Ling Ran nodded, and after feeling much better, he let Zhou Xiang take him out, "Let's go out, and you pay attention. If we are not in the position of the rope, we have to hide in again."
"OK!"
Fortunately, he was still near the rope when he got out, and Ling Ran quickly grabbed the rope.
After falling about ten meters, Zhou Xiang took Ling Ran into the space again.
Zhou Xiang brought some fruit and asked while chewing on it, "Do you find it strange? We've fallen about twenty meters, and there's no water in this cave. What kind of cave is this? It doesn't look like it was formed naturally, and the sides are very flat."
Ling Ran shook his head, "I don't know, let's see what happens next!"
"Then let's continue!" Zhou Xiang said, and called for a flashlight. The light was getting darker and darker.
