Chapter 27: Moth Bone
Turn on the flashlight, shine on the door of the black hole and walk slowly, the road under your feet is made of stone, the more you go forward, the more you can feel the humidity in the air getting stronger and stronger, it is the feeling of a water prison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"Look, there's a small door in front. "Under the illumination of the flashlight, I saw that the stone road in front of me ended at a small doorway, and when I reached the small doorway, the yin qi was already very heavy.
"Whew--- there was an echo. The smell of dampness inevitably came to my nose, and when I looked at it with a flashlight, I could see that there was a narrow suspension bridge inside, connected by thick ropes on both sides, "It won't be all water down here." "The flashlight shot down the bottom of the bridge, and you could see the blue water like a copper mirror in the deep place below," re-shone the light of the flashlight at the other end of the bridge, because the bridge was too long, and I could only vaguely see that the bridge cable at that end was connected to a stone arm, and there was also a small black door, "This place is too big and empty." "The bridge and the water have to be at least a few tens of meters apart. My aunt waved her hand and motioned for everyone to walk over the bridge. The bridge was made of small wooden planks, but it seemed to be very unsturdy, and when Xia Yutong walked to the middle, the two planks under his feet suddenly crooked: Oh no, it's bad! But it's too late. The wooden plank was broken into several halves and fell, "Oops!" Xia Yutong had fallen straight down, "Yutong!" Unfortunately, the bridge had been broken, "Everyone, jump down!" The bridge was already shaky and unstable, "Plop ---" Everyone hurriedly jumped from the bridge into the water, and then a section of the bridge "clicked" and fell down, falling into the water "--- a big splash".
Xia Yutong fell into the water and sank straight down, while waving his arm vigorously to draw up, and suddenly his calf was hit by a hard thing, Xia Yutong was shocked: Will it ...... Xia Yutong choked on a mouthful ---of water but still paddled desperately, and finally got out of the water to expose his head, and then coughed violently, and there was a stuffy smell in the water, choking his throat to death: "Auntie...... Auntie, are you there?" the water in front of us was so calm that there was no sound. Fluttering his body and turning his head around, a huge force below grabbed Xia Yutong's legs, it was a bone! That hard feeling was too cold! "It's a bone......" desperately twisted his body to break free, and "pounce---d" Another head came out of the water: "Hey, what are you kicking?, what's wrong with pulling me?" Lin Chen spat out a mouthful of water, "It's you, I'm afraid of people......" Xia Yutong touched his chest.
"Whoa---" At this time, An Ran also came out of the water and threw his wet hair behind: "Come on, see what's wrong with Lauren?" She dragged Lauren's body up from the water, he couldn't speak, as if he was choking on something, and his eyes were so anxious that he couldn't breathe. "Choking?" Lin Chen asked. "Anran, go ashore first!" As soon as he turned around, Qin Zige and his aunt had already climbed ashore. "Hurry up and go up first. Xia Yutong and Lin Chen swam to the shore, An Ran dragged Lauren with one hand and paddled with the other, and swam to the shore with great difficulty, "Come!" Qin Zige took Lauren's soft body with difficulty: "When did this little thing become so fat." Qin Zige put him on the ground. Lauren's throat seemed to be stuck in something and he couldn't speak, and it looked like he was having trouble breathing, "Let him cough out." Xia Yutong dragged his back behind him to make him sit up, "Bear it." Xia Yutong suddenly slapped him twice on the back, "Ahem--" Lauren's face turned red and he began to cough suddenly, a small white thing rolled out of his mouth, and "Dong ---" rolled on the ground a few times, it was clear that it was a small bone.
'Yes....... bones?" An Ran gasped, "Are there really human bones?" Lin Chen said. "Did they kill people in ancient times? There are such small bones. "Xia Yutong is very strange. "Refers to the bones. The aunt sat next to Lauren and said, "Only small joints have such bones." Xia Yutong wanted to pick it up: "That's ruthless enough, the joints of the fingers and feet are separated." ā
"You didn't listen...... I didn't hear from that aunt. Lauren slowly eased up: "These are buried in the water prison....... When I was alive, I was worse than a slave, I did hard labor every day, I did rough work, and my bones couldn't hold on to it for a long time, and it was normal to be loose. "Auntie smiled: Little Lauren's brain hole is really big!" "How many generations have the descendants of that family been buried in the water prison? My aunt stood up at this time: "At least the fifth generation, less than fifty people." "Just a few people still build such a big tomb?"
"What do you know?" the aunt was angry: "In ancient times, the water prison was prepared for dead slaves, because there were too many slaves and there was no place to put them in the water after death, so the water prison was built for the lowest people, or those who did not have freedom, which was a contempt for human dignity and personality." ā
"It's cruel. Xia Yutong shook his head. "Freedom in ancient times was unequal. Qin Zige stood up: "Let's think about how to go up, the bridge is broken, the rope is not enough, how to get to the door on the stone wall?" "Hey, there is also a door here." Anzen said in surprise that the light of the flashlight hit the stone wall on the shore, and there was a door made of stone on it. "That's all I have to do, let's go. "Knock ---" Qin Zige pushed the stone door to make a heavy low sound, and the damp yin qi inside did not change, it was still so dark. "Ahem---" walked through the door, Anran coughing uncomfortably. "What's wrong?" An Ran covered his throat: "That water smells weird, don't you choke?" "The ghost knows what that weird smell is." My aunt walked in front: "That's the smell of corpses." "Huh?" everyone stopped and looked like they were about to vomit.
"What's wrong? I haven't smelled it. My aunt said.
"This must be a small burial chamber. Qin Zige walked to another small door, in front of him was a space made of gray stones, and a few steps away was still a blue water surface. "Hey. Qin Zige suddenly discovered something: "Come on, come on." Others came in, "Look. Qin Zige was surrounded by a pair of white bones, and Xia Yutong covered his mouth: "People...... Isn't it all in the water? How...... And why is this man's bones so big? ...... shape."
"Because it's not human bones at all. Qin Zige said: "This is obviously a moth. Lin Chen was surprised: "Don't bully me for being uneducated, insects don't have bones, do they?" My aunt also said, "But because of the mutation 20 years ago, they are no longer insects, they have become a species that is nothing." ā
