Chapter 18: The Pit of Bones

"Squeak...... Squeak ......" The voice was staccato and in the gloomy cave, listening to horror and madness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"It sounds like a mouse. A strong villager speculated from experience.

"Mouses, do mice have such loud noises, and this is daytime, don't mice come out at night?" Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but ask with her common sense.

The village chief used the searchlight in his hand to shine around, and found no living creatures, but the sound still came from the ground intermittently, and the village chief waved his hand to everyone indifferently, "It's okay, don't be afraid, it should be a few wild rats in the mountains, making a nest under the cave, hearing a sound from above, squeaking and running away." ā€

Ye Zhenzhen muttered in her heart, "Mice are all timid, and when they heard the sound, they were busy running away, but they didn't squeak and run away." ā€

No matter what the source of the cry is, the ghost cave still has to continue to investigate, just be careful, thinking so, Ye Zhenzhen followed Nan Zhiqiao and continued to walk into the cave.

Walking through the outermost circular cave, the inside began to get narrower and narrower, and the cave became a roadway, only more than one person high, two people wide, and two people walking side by side were a little crowded.

Because the cave suddenly narrowed, everyone lined up in a straight line and walked forward, the village chief still walked in the front, Nan Zhiqiao followed closely, Ye Zhenzhen followed behind Nan Zhiqiao, and the policeman Xiao Wang and the four strong villagers walked last.

Everyone walked in the cave corridor, and the "squeak" sound from the ground gradually disappeared.

"I say, it's the sound of the mouse, it heard that there were so many of us, and it had fled without a trace. The village chief said to himself, feeling that his analysis was very reasonable.

Everyone walked in the cave corridor for more than ten minutes, and finally walked out of the narrow corridor, and a wider cave appeared in front of them.

The village chief used a searchlight to shine around in the cave hall, and found that the cave in front of him was a hollow in the mountain with an arched circle, surrounded by traces of artificial repair, the ground was paved with gray bricks, and the surrounding walls were also polished smooth, and there was a circular chandelier on the dome.

The village chief exclaimed: "I didn't expect there to be such a place in the ghost cave, such a big cave, it seems to have been excavated by hand, is this the pit opened by the Japanese? I don't know what kind of mine is mined?"

A villager who followed behind him also took two steps forward with great courage and said with a little surprise: "It can't be the legendary gold mine, the Japanese fled in a hurry, and I don't know if there is any gold left." ā€

The policeman Xiao Wang laughed contemptuously: "Who has ever seen such a good floor tile in a mine?"

The villager who spoke just now also noticed the neat floor tiles laid under his feet, and when he looked closely, there was a railroad track in the center of the floor tiles, which extended from a distance and suddenly broke off at the feet of everyone.

"You see, there are railroad tracks on the ground, this is a mining pit, if it is not a mining pit, how can there be railroad tracks?" The villagers just now saw the railroad tracks on the ground, as if they saw the evidence to support them, and hurriedly opened their mouths to argue with the policeman Xiao Wang.

Ye Zhenzhen used the flashlight in her hand to illuminate the rails under her feet, the rails were rusted, but she could still clearly distinguish the two parallel rails embedded in the gray bricks on the ground, and the distance between the balanced rails was narrower than the usual railway track distance, much like the track of a small minecart transporting goods.

When the policeman Xiao Wang saw the railroad tracks, he also began to question his judgment just now, is this really a mine?

Another strong man from one of the villagers asked in a low voice with a frightened tone: "Village chief, the old people in the village have said that many people have died here, so there will be no unjust ghosts, right?"

Liu Dazhi, the village head, took a sip and scolded: "You are a big man, what kind of ghosts are you afraid of, even if there are ghosts, so many of us are not afraid." ā€

Although the village chief said this, the searchlight in his hand lit up more frequently, feeling that the light could dispel the fear in his heart.

The policeman Xiao Wang couldn't help it, and said in an educational tone: "Where are there ghosts in the world, you can't spread superstitious thoughts, the so-called ghosts are all ignorant people who don't understand scientific speculation." ā€

In the face of the police, the village chief and several villagers secretly pouted, although they were not convinced, they did not refute it, but just continued to walk forward in silence.

There was silence for only two seconds, and suddenly it went dark in the cave, followed by a scream.

Everyone looked towards the place where the sound came from, and the village chief who walked in front disappeared at some point, listening to the source of the sound and the change in volume, he must have fallen into a deep well in front of him.

Nan Zhiqiao was originally following closely behind the village chief, but suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

Everyone stopped, and after a brief silence, a painful groan came from the ground not far ahead, "Oops, oops...... It hurts me to death. ā€

It's the village chief's voice!

Nan Zhiqiao pointed the flashlight in the direction of the sound source in front of him, and found that the railroad track in front of him suddenly snapped, and the ground also sank down a large crater.

Leaning over the edge of the big pit, using the flashlight to shine down, the big pit is very deep, dark, the light of the flashlight can not reach the bottom of the pit, only the moaning of the village chief can be heard from the bottom.

"Village Chief, how are you?" shouted Nan Zhiqiao.

"I can't move my legs. The village chief's slightly crying voice floated up, "The searchlight is broken, there is a black hole underneath, you can't see anything, it's too terrifying, help me go up." ā€

"Don't worry, we'll get you up right away. ā€

Nan Zhiqiao took out a bundle of mountaineering rope from his backpack, tied the flashlight to one end of the rope, and slowly lowered the rope, the flashlight slowly sank with the rope, and just when the bundle of mountaineering rope was almost finished, the flashlight touched the bottom of the pit.

There is a distance of about ten meters from the bottom of the pit to the ground above, that is, a three-story building, and it should be no problem to pull the village chief up with a rope.

Nan Zhiqiao was about to ask the village chief to tie the rope around his waist, and was just about to speak, when he heard the village chief's scream full of horror from the bottom of the pit, "Ah......"

"What's wrong, what's going on?" asked the crowd almost at the same time.

"Bones...... Dead man's bones!" replied the village chief at the bottom of the pit, almost screaming.

"Ah, there's a dead man at the bottom of the pit!" said one of the villagers, shuddering and taking two steps back.

Nan Zhiqiao looked at the bottom of the pit, because the flashlight had been placed at the bottom of the pit, and he could see the situation at the bottom of the pit dimly......

And the village chief was sitting on such a pile of white bones, his left calf was pierced by a long bone, and the red blood was poured on the white bones, which was very terrifying and dazzling.

Ye Zhenzhen also came to the edge of the big pit, and when she saw the situation at the bottom of the pit, she couldn't help but gasp, and the big pit under everyone's feet was a huge pit of white bones and corpses.
