Chapter 11: Corpses

Song Pan couldn't help but laugh when he heard that he was immortal, in the empty mountains and forests, everyone else was silent and looked at him laughing alone, maybe he felt embarrassed, and in the end, Song Pan coughed a few times and looked at Wu Er: "Why don't you laugh?"

"It's not funny. Wu Er said bluntly.

"Isn't that funny? You're a forensic major, and you believe in immortality?"

"If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, you have to laugh?"

Song Pan immediately blushed: "Your uncle! It's not a question of whether you laugh or not, why can't you get a point?"

"You're just talking about whether you laugh or not. ”

Afraid that their argument would become endless, Mo Yuxuan hurriedly interrupted them: "Don't worry, two little brothers, listen to me......"

"Okay, then you say!" both of them stopped at the same time.

"......" Mo Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "Since the words have been said to this part, I will be blunt, originally the first place to go to this itinerary is Ciyun Mountain, but the weather is really bad, the heavy rain overnight is likely to make the water level of the Silent Lake of Konglian Mountain rise, and there is no way to cross the lake easily at that time, maybe when we get there, the hill will not be able to show the whole picture." ”

"Then you guys are too hasty, take 10,000 steps back, even if you come for the ancient tomb, you should bring some professional equipment, and you won't tell me in advance, how dangerous it is, be careful afterwards, I will complain to you as a team leader." ”

As soon as Song Pan's voice fell, Liu Wentong looked at him contemptuously: "How do you know that we didn't bring it?", almost at the same time, Guo Fengchao, Li Jie'an, Zhou You, and Wu Gengjun shook their hands, and the backpacks behind them fell to the ground in response, and when they were opened, they were full of large and small tools. The two of them were dumbfounded.

"!" Wu Er cursed secretly, no wonder Mo Yuxuan called their names so neatly along the way, it turned out to be a gang, in this deep mountain and old forest, there is no village in front and no shop in the back, isn't it on the thief ship?

"Do you really don't know or don't know?" Li Jie'an looked at Wu Er and Song Pan in confusion.

"What do you know?" Song Pan spread his hands.

Ye Feisong said with a smile: "Don't embarrass them, they really don't know, I think Team Leader Mo chose them just to hide people's eyes, just two ordinary students, mixing in the team also saves people suspicion." ”

"Uncle, why are you?!"

"Don't be nervous, we don't do things that hurt the heavens and reason, in fact, there is such a thing as an ancient tomb in Sucheng appeared on the national top-secret archives as early as a few decades ago, due to the remoteness, and according to legend, there is a mysterious power to guard, this kind of feudal superstition The country is silent to the outside world, so it can only secretly spend financial resources and manpower to excavate, but maybe it is true as the record says, there is an inexplicable supernatural power to guard, so many years, it has always been fruitless, and the country can not always be consumed in this bottomless pit, so it left an unwritten rule for the folk spontaneous organization, as long as there are capable people to find the ancient tomb in Sucheng, and bring out any cultural relics in the ancient tombRegardless of whether it is valuable or not, this first unearthed cultural relic belongs to the discoverer, so many non-governmental organizations regard this place as a priceless treasure, which not only satisfies the curiosity of the individual's heart, but also has the opportunity to enrich several generations or even hundreds of generations.

"It's really curiosity that kills cats, people die for money, birds die for food, and the ancients don't deceive me. Song Pan sighed loudly, and Wu Er also began to understand: "No wonder the Celestial Empire's supervision of the Sucheng realm has always given people the feeling of turning a blind eye, in the final analysis, it is also to borrow the hands of the people to act as the key to open the ancient tomb." ”

Mo Yuxuan patted him on the shoulder: "In fact, the organization also has organizational difficulties, when we just came out of the quagmire of being invaded, in order to revitalize the economy, all the focus of the whole country was on the road of enriching the country and strengthening the army, this kind of unscientific thing cannot and dare not be put on the table to deal with." ”

Wu Er naturally figured out the reason, and no longer entangled at the moment, turned his head and looked at the three girls in the group, although Ye Feisong and Mo Yuxuan had made an appointment in advance, but there should be an employment relationship between them, otherwise Mo Yuxuan would not have been so familiar with them and showed a vigilant look, and he and Song Pan did not know anything about going into the mountain to find the ancient tomb, and among the remaining people, there were only three girls whose purpose was unknown.

Zhou Yuqin saw Wu Er staring at him, and said, "We...... It has nothing to do with them, it's just curiosity......"

"Hehe......" Ye Feisong chuckled in a low voice, adding: "It's just that I told you a few more words about the ancient tomb before leaving, and the three girls pricked up their ears to inquire, the so-called survey work is actually archaeology, right? Otherwise, how could there be such a big interest, and take the initiative to invite Ying to join the group?"

"So...... You have actually seen it a long time ago, so you deliberately revealed the matter of the ancient tomb?" Zhou Yuqin's face turned red suddenly.

"Eh, little girl, you can't say that, the information I have revealed is absolutely true, and as for following you into the mountain, it is your own will. Ye Feisong seemed to have guessed their thoughts.

"You ......" Zhou Yuqin raised his hand and pointed at him, knowing that he couldn't say it, he puffed up and put it down: "If we knew that it was so dangerous to enter the mountain, we wouldn't have followed!"

Seeing this, Mo Yuxuan had no choice but to come out again to play a round game: "Okay, okay, if you come, you will be safe, no matter what your purpose is, but now you can come together, it can be regarded as fate, although they are all with the same goal of exploring the ancient tombs, but they are not evildoers, and they will never do anything out of the ordinary, everyone can rest assured." ”

Song Pan stood beside Wu Er, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but mutter: "Uncle, the little abacus is very good, borrowing us to disguise our identity to enter the mountain, and with the help of the professional quality and ability of a few little girls, if you can really find the ancient tomb relics, if you don't share our share, the fat master will fight with them!"

Wu Er poked him elbow: "Tut-tut, look at what you can bear, I said that I have a bad premonition, but I don't believe it." ”

"Yes, yes, you said that you have a bad premonition, but I also said that you have a premonition that you can encounter ancient monuments, do you believe it?" Song Pan immediately retorted to him.

"Come on, fat man, continue to ask for more blessings!" Wu Er clenched his fists and prepared to walk away. Song Pan grabbed him: "Don't mind, if we can really get what we want, this graduation trip will go down in history!"

"If you want to hang down, I just want to come in vertically now, and finally not go out horizontally. ”

"Don't be a crow's mouth, can you curse others even yourself? Not to mention that the rain in the mountains has already made you say it once, and the next time, I won't let you go. ”

"Cut~" Wu Er was too lazy to quarrel with him anymore, so he found a stone and sat down and took a few pieces of toast from his bag and came out to nibble on it, Ye Feisong saw that everyone didn't make any more trouble, and reminded: "I don't know how long this rain will be, and if I wait for it to continue, I'm afraid that things will become troublesome, so let's set off after eating and resting a little." ”

"That ......" Mo Yuxuan walked up to Ye Feisong's side, paused and asked, "What did Ding Mian say just now that he couldn't open it?"

"A thief hole that leads to an underground undercurrent. ”

Mo Yuxuan was taken aback: "Candle Yin River?...... Doesn't it mean that if you find a gap in the dry bed of the lake, you can enter the mound? This is different from what was originally agreed. ”

"Didn't my brother say just now, the situation is not optimistic, it is unknown whether the gap has been flooded by the rising lake, we can't hang ourselves on a tree, in case the gap can't get in, the fastest way to enter the hill sacrifice mausoleum is there other places besides the Candleyin River?" Ye Feisong was unexpectedly calm, and said with a smile: "Since you spend money to hire me, I can't smash my own signboard if I don't have a disadvantage, if the silent lake can't get through, I can only take a little risk to go underground undercurrent, it's okay, you can relax!"

"It doesn't matter how many of us are, but what about them?" Mo Yuxuan frowned and pointed at Wu Er.

Ye Feisong immediately stood up and walked to Song Pan's side, and stretched out his hand to pat the fat man's shoulder to his buttocks: "Look at it, look at this body, they all say that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, we are not afraid of our age, they can be like a girl when they are young?!" Then he walked away and spoke to Zhou Yuqin: "You took the initiative to invite Ying into the group, but you shouted that the women didn't let you shave your eyebrows, and you flinched when you encountered such a little difficulty?"

Originally, this sound quite useful in the front, but I felt a little embarrassed in the back, Song Pan turned his head to look at Wu Er: "Does this belong to moral kidnapping?"

"Guess?"

Song Pan thought about it, the way back was cut off by the mudslide, and now the grasshopper was tied to the rope, so he simply took out the posture of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat: "Don't you just go to the underground undercurrent, and it's not to go up the knife mountain and down to the sea of fire, it's originally to come out to play, just play bigger!" After speaking, regardless of whether Wu Er was willing or not, Song Pan took Wu Er's hand and raised it: "My brother raised his hand to express his agreement, which means that he thinks the same as mine." ”

Wu Er raised his knee and slapped him: "Why do I feel that you want to die pulling me on my back?"

"Don't say it so ugly, brother, can I hurt you?" Song Pan showed a soothing face, in fact, Wu Er was not afraid, but the closer he got to the hill sacrifice mausoleum, unspeakable anxiety suddenly appeared in his heart, this inexplicable uneasiness was very similar to the night before the sudden fire in the house when he was five years old, although he miraculously survived in the end, but his mother left forever.

Ye Feisong seemed calm, Mo Yuxuan didn't want to say anything else, and simply replenished his physical strength, Mo Yuxuan beckoned Liu Wentong and the five of them to get up with their tools, the original job of leading the way has always been him, but after approaching Silent Ming Lake, it was replaced by Ding Mian walking in front of everyone.

At this point, more than a dozen flashlights began to shake on the mountain road, the wind and rain blew against the cramped mountain pass, and from time to time there was a shrill whistling sound, Wu Er walked in the middle of the crowd, and deliberately glanced at Ding Mian a few more times, after all, he had seen him in his residence before, and he had such a strange behavior on a puddle of water stains on the ground before, and now even if it was pouring rain on his head, his steps were not slow at all.

The huge mountain wall leaning overhead seemed to be endless, like a long corridor between heaven and earth, and their small footsteps gradually echoed in the vast space, however, in such a silent walk, someone in front of Wu Er suddenly stopped, and before he could look up to understand, a scream resounded through the mountain road, and the scalp was numb when he heard it.

"What's wrong?!" Mo Yuxuan hurriedly ran up and asked.

I saw Hu Kui trembling and pointing not far ahead: "Where is it...... It seems like...... It's like floating past a person......"

The atmosphere was solemn for a while in the dark, Ye Feisong first raised a flashlight to shine in the direction that Hu Kui was pointing, and the sound of grass blades turning continued to be heard on the dark cliff wall, but except for a few thick mountain vines, there was nothing unusual.

"Did you see the fork split, where is there anyone?" Zhou You asked in a slightly complaining tone, just choked by the sudden scream.

"Really! I don't lie to you!" Hu Kui hid behind his sister Hu Yanzheng, and didn't dare to look up more, and everyone else also raised their flashlights to shine over, for a moment, only to feel the sound of the wind in their ears, and in the hazy rain, the mountain vines that were clinging to the rock wall suddenly made a 'quack' sound, and then, a white face flashed in the position where everyone's flashlights were focused, and a figure moved with the wind like a pendulum swaying on the cliff not far away.

"!" Song Pan jumped back in fright and hugged Wu Er's arm tightly, but Ding Mian walked over quickly, looked at it for a long time and said loudly: "It's dead, it's not saved." Then, he pulled out a short dagger from his waist, and without saying a word, he threw it at the mountain vine, this time it was extremely precise and crisp, and after the mountain vine broke, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the corpse fell at Ding Mian's feet.

Wu Er put aside Song Pan, quickly followed to check the corpse, took out a pair of gloves from the outer bag of the backpack, and then called the fat man to come over to help raise the flashlight, and touched the corpse's brain with both hands little by little, everyone saw that his expression was serious, and he didn't speak again, just silently gathered all the light of the flashlight, and listened to Wu Er for a while: " The deceased's surface color and fingers were cyanosis, the eyeballs were obviously protruding, and there should have been suffocation before death, on the whole, the body surface damage was relatively light, the internal injury was serious, there were multiple fractures in the chest, the damage was concentrated, the injury was severe but the bleeding was less, and it was a high fall injury...... "After a pause, Wu Er saw that the deceased's left ankle had two blackened marks, and thought of the situation when the corpse appeared, and inferred:" The corpse had bitten punctate tooth marks on its left foot, and it is estimated that the deceased was first bitten by a venomous snake, and then fell and hit the mountain wall, and the body happened to hang on the mountain vine. ”

"Huh ......" Hearing this conclusion, Hu Kui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that the handsome boy in front of him was quite handsome when he was serious.

Wu Er looked at the corpse's outfit, slightly judged the age of the deceased, and said nothing: "Judging from the development of the corpse spots, the time of the deceased's death should be 6 hours ago, that is to say, in addition to our team, there are other people who are also active in the empty mercy mountain. ”

Mo Yuxuan frowned, and casually picked up the things carried by the deceased and looked at them a few times: "It's not like a person who acts alone, there are traces of heavy pressure on the waist hook, and it may have been taken away after death." ”

Song Pan immediately patted his thigh and shouted: "Damn, my heart is also poisonous, I took other people's things and didn't let people's families settle down, what is the difference between this and killing people and selling goods!"

Wu Er didn't answer, the first thing that came to mind was the group of Tufuzi, guessing that most of their purpose was also this ancient tomb in the mountain, if this group of people treated the corpses of their companions with such a hasty attitude, then if the two teams of people happened to meet, for their own interests, maybe they might really make a fuss. Ye Feisong had no waves, ordered Ding Mian to dispose of the corpse, and took the initiative to go nearby to check if there were any traces of frequent snake activity.
