Chapter 254: Old Daddy's Secret
Whalebone stream
Chang Zhaowen followed closely behind the old father, walking through the dense forest, there is no ready-made road in this area, although you can form a road if you walk more. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But it seems that it is still very difficult for the old father to get out of the way alone. Walking on the uneven and overgrown ground, from time to time you will encounter raised tree roots, intertwined vines, often according to the text dare not walk fast, but the old father is walking like flying, it seems that for him, this place is as familiar as his backyard.
"It's here!" Old Daddy stopped, in fact, he had no way out, because he stopped in front of a mountain wall full of vines, looked up, and couldn't see the head at a glance, this should be the wall of the Whalebone Mountain, but the mountain wall on this side is extremely steep, almost straight up and down, to climb up the mountain from here, it is not easier than a 90-degree vertical climb.
"Hurry up, young man!" the old father shouted at Chang Zhaowen, who was left behind.
Although he is young, Chang Zhaowen really can't compare to the old daddy when he walks the mountain road, because the other party just rushes forward in one breath and doesn't squint, but he has to look down at his feet from time to time to make sure that he doesn't trip over sudden obstacles, so Chang Zhaowen is actually a long distance behind the old daddy.
The old father didn't seem to be afraid of losing it according to the text, and took out a wooden stick from the back basket behind him, and the top of the wooden stick was tightly wrapped around a ball of rags soaked in pine resin, and finally shouted again: "Young man, hurry up, I won't wait!"
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute......" When Chang Zhaowen hurried over at a faster pace at the risk of tripping, there was no one in front of him except for the straight mountain wall covered with layers of green vines, and the old father seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
No way?
Chang Zhaowen reached out and grabbed a few vines in front of him, and pulled hard, the dark green plant wattle was far more flexible than he imagined, maybe he could really climb the mountain wall with his bare hands by dragging these vines.
He looked up along the mountain wall, and there was nothing but a green as far as the eye could see, unless the old daddy was a monkey spirit, he couldn't have climbed so quickly without a figure.
"Where's the man, keep up!!!!" said the old man's hearty voice again, and this time, it seemed that the tail note was still lingering for a long time.
Could it be-
Chang Zhaowen inserted both arms into the thick pile of vines, one left and one right, struggling to separate, and sure enough, a damp and cold aura hit him, and behind these layers of vines, there was actually a cave hidden.
A hand full of wrinkles but still strong and powerful suddenly stretched out, thinking that the other party was 86 years old, Chang Zhaowen was not embarrassed to hold the old father's arm to borrow strength, he pulled the vines on the side with his hand, jumped with his feet, and got into the cave.
The floor of the cave was half a foot higher than the outside, but it was unusually slippery and covered with dark green moss.
Seeing that Chang Zhaowen successfully entered the cave, the old father didn't talk much to him, raised a torch, and walked straight to the depths of the cave without a sound, Chang Zhaowen looked around, this was actually a natural stalactite cave, the stone above his head was still dripping water from time to time, and a drop of cold water fell on his neck, making him involuntarily have goosebumps.
Chang Zhaowen is sure that this cave doesn't even know about the Henggao Group that bought Sanshan Island, otherwise with their style, it is impossible not to advertise its packaging, after all, the natural stalactite cave is also a good tourist attraction.
This cave is a natural ice cellar, and the further you go inside, the colder it gets. The old father was obviously prepared, and took out a military coat from the back basket and put it on, but it was hard to follow Chang Zhaowen who was dressed in a short beat.
The old father glanced back at Chang Zhaowen, and seemed to be a little embarrassed: "It's coming, bear with me, the young man's body is good, how can I be like me, an eighty-six-year-old bone, I can't stand the cold......"
After continuing to walk forward for a few minutes, the cave was getting more and more open, the old father suddenly stopped, stretched out his arm to signal Chang Zhaowen to stop, Chang Zhaowen who followed closely behind him did not react for a while, and took a few steps forward, and suddenly stepped into the air, and there was a big pit in front of him.
Miserable! Chang Zhaowen had a stirring in his mind, and his body hurriedly fell backwards, kicking up a burst of debris and dust under his feet, and rolling down into the pit with a crackle.
Bang! The butt fell on the slippery ground, and Chang Zhaowen's arms also firmly supported the ground, stabilizing the center of gravity, although he looked a little embarrassed, but fortunately it was fine.
"Are you alright?" asked the old man in a dumb voice, his already vicissitudes of life in the light of the flickering light of the torch looked particularly solemn.
"I'm fine. ”
Old Daddy nodded, put his foot on the edge of the pit, and stretched the arm holding the torch as far forward as possible, so that more light could be cast into the hole in front of him.
Chang Zhaowen hurriedly stood up, and he also looked down at the pit curiously.
"This ......" he shuddered involuntarily, and all the hairs on his body stood up with a "swish".
The pit is not deep, about two stories high, but it ......
Bones, this pit is full of bones from Bai Sensen!
Chang Zhaowen's face changed greatly, he hurriedly turned to look at the old father, but the other party's face was calm, and he didn't even raise his eyelids: "This contains the secret ...... of our old Zhang family."
These are not human bones!
Chang Zhaowen boldly observed carefully and found that although there were many bones piled up in the pit, most of the skeletons were quite complete, and the structure of these skeletons was very different from that of humans. Take the largest one, for example, the single bone occupies almost half of the space in the crater, and the huge skull covered with sharp fangs is almost comparable to the Tyrannosaurus rex in the museum.
Other large and small skeletons are also strangely shaped, with slender and long vertebrae that resemble snake bones, but with seven or eight claws attached, and some have long beaks peculiar to birds, but no wings have been found......
"These are the corpses of monsters...... old Daddy's voice finally sounded again, this secret had been buried in his heart for too long, his voice trembled a little because of nervousness, "This Sanshan Island is located at the intersection of ocean currents, and it is a natural gathering place for fish, so since ancient times, the inhabitants of this island have made a living by fishing. However, fishing is completely dependent on the sky, and God's face can make you return with a full load, but when God is unhappy, you have to leave your life behind. ”
Chang Zhaowen nodded, and the driver Ah Hu had also said so to him before.
"But our old Zhang family is different, even if the children and grandchildren of our Zhang family don't go to sea, they can still catch fish, because we have a fish eye ......"
"Fisheye?"
"Yes, the eye of the fish is not big, but it is unfathomable, and all kinds of fish can be caught in this eye, even the spirit fish. ”
Chang Zhaowen's eyes lit up, not big but unfathomable?
"Is it the deep pool surrounded by waterfowl?"
The old father ignored him and continued: "At that time, it was one of my ancestors who discovered this secret, and he told him a few of his friends, but later found out that no one except the Zhang family could catch any fish from the fish's eye......"
Friends thought it was his drunken delusion, and this ancestor was also very clever, and he knew that this was a gift from God to the Zhang family. Since his generation, our descendants of the Zhang family have been tight-lipped about this, and on the surface they go to sea like the people in the village, but because of the fish eyes, the fish we catch are always the best, and from time to time there will be delicious and abnormal spirit fish. ”
"But fisheye isn't just good for us...... old daddy pointed to the bones in the pit, "these monsters...... It was also given to us by fish's eye!"
"What?"
"If it's long, there will be an interval of twenty or thirty years, and if it's short, it's less than one or two months, and from time to time there will be monster corpses coming out of the fish's eyes, and catching people's fish will eliminate disasters for others, we can only find this hidden cave to store the monster's corpses, but over the past few hundred years, there are more and more corpses, and there are fewer and fewer people in our Zhang family. In my lifetime, my only son could no longer bear this kind of life, and he left the island without hearing from him for decades......"
The old father's voice became softer and softer, and finally only one last sigh remained: "If there are new corpses, this pit will almost be overwhelmed......"
Chang Zhaowen covered his mouth and nose with his hands, although there were only some bones, and the temperature in the cave was not high, but the smell here was always not very good: "Old Daddy, can you take me to the fish eye to see?"
