Chapter 22: The Corpse
"Damn, I don't believe that the little lady will be trapped here today", I cheered myself up, forgot the soreness on my body, stepped up my steps and walked eastward, I believe that there is no endless road, I have never done anything bad when I grew up, of course, except for the little six sons of the neighbor who deceived the neighbor when I was a child A popsicle, but that is also for a reason, who told his brother to rob me of two glass balls and not to return. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition, Zhang Meng often said that my heavenly court is full, and the earth pavilion is not an ordinary person, in fact, I feel that I am indeed not an ordinary person, my name was engraved on the Jade Buddha more than a thousand years ago, I encountered these strange things, ordinary people can never dream of it in their lives, how can a person like me be trapped and die here? Wouldn't that be a pity.
I exerted the spirit of being chubby, nonsensical, and stingy, and sprinted forward while thinking nonsense.
But even if you are not an ordinary person, you can't stand not drinking water to eat, after walking for a while, I only feel dry mouth, I haven't drunk water for more than two hours, plus I was so tossed before, I walked fast, and now I feel very thirsty.
There is no shortage of water in this underground cave, there are often some water droplets dripping down the head, and there are some small puddles on the ground, but I don't know if the water can be drunk. I walked to a larger puddle, put the flashlight under my armpit, picked up a handful of water with my hand, looked at it carefully, it seemed to be relatively clear, smelled it with my nose, there was no smell, my heart said there should be no problem, I drank two sips, only felt that the water was a little astringent, but acceptable.
After drinking the water, I felt that my strength had recovered a little and I had some energy. I continued to walk forward, walking for about five or six minutes, and suddenly, I heard something in the distance, "bang, bang, bang", as if someone was walking, accompanied by a heavy "whew, whew......" sound coming from my throat.
Could it be Cheng Jiao and them? I thought to myself, but then I thought to myself, probably not, listening to the slow and heavy footsteps. The "whew, whew" sound came from the throat like an animal. Normal people don't think this kind of movement will be made, so in order to be cautious, I'll hide and observe for a while.
Thinking about it, I quickly turned off the flashlight. Hidden behind a large tree.
It's dark in the cave. But because it's deep underground. The roof of the cave and some of the rocks are rich in minerals, some of which emit an extremely faint fluorescence, and these minerals come together. There is a little brightness in this cave, not absolute darkness, and the human eye can still see some things after getting used to it, although it is not very real, but the general outline can still be seen clearly.
After turning off the flashlight, I closed my eyes slightly to adjust to the darkness, and after a while, when I opened my eyes, I seemed to be able to see something vaguely, and the footsteps and the sound of "whew, whew......" came closer and closer, and I stole from behind the tree to look at the place where the sound came.
If I didn't look at it, I was startled by the sight of a bald man, tall in the dark, walking towards me step by step, and at the same time making that "whew, whew" sound like a wild beast, as if looking for prey.
"Damn, what is this, is there anyone else in this underground cavern but us? But listening to this movement must not be a good stubble, it can't be some kind of zombie or something, I'd better hide it first and not be discovered by him. ”
After thinking about it, I retracted my head, leaned as close to the tree as I could, held my breath, and listened to the footsteps and the sound of "whew, whew" getting closer and closer, as if I had come closer, and my heart was about to jump out of my throat.
But after listening for a while, the footsteps and the sound of "whirring, whirring" seemed to be gone, and I tentatively poked my head out from behind the tree to see, there was nothing in the darkness, no bald head.
"Strange, why is that thing gone? What I saw just now, is it because it's so dark that I'm dazzled? But I did hear the footsteps and the sound of 'whew, whew' just now...... By the way, there must be something wrong with the water I drank before, which caused me to hallucinate, it must be like this. ”
I retracted my head and was about to catch my breath when suddenly a voice sounded in my ears, like the low, greedy "hmm, hmm" sound in the throat of a hound after it had spotted its prey.
I shivered, and hurriedly turned on the flashlight, and next to me, less than half a meter away from me stood a bald head, to be exact, a monk, because he had a burn scar on the top of his head, and he was wearing a broken monk's robe, which could only be hung on his body, and that face was a terrible face that I had never seen, even more terrible than the face of the "mysterious man" I saw in Zhao Daya's house in Fenghuangtai Village, his face was blue, as if he had cirrhosis, and his eyes were black. A long scar on his face stretched from the left forehead to the right ear, crawling like a centipede.
The monk looked at me like a delicacy, baring his teeth like a hungry wolfdog, a mouth full of yellow-brown teeth, and saliva running down the corners of his mouth.
I was stunned on the spot, before I could react, the monk had stretched out his hands and pounced on me, and at the same time his teeth bit at my neck, I quickly used a strong flashlight to irradiate his eyes, the light of this wolf's eye flashlight is very strong, several times brighter than the car lights, if irradiating the eyes of ordinary people can make people temporarily blind for three minutes, it can be used as a weapon for self-defense, but it has no effect on this monk, he still pounced on me, I realized that he found out that I was not because he saw me, but because he used his sense of smell.
In desperation, I hurriedly used the branch in my hand to stop in front of me, and the monk bit on the branch, biting the branch into two pieces, taking this opportunity, I turned around and ran away.
I ran desperately without looking back, until I couldn't run anymore, I held my knees with my hands and gasped, and looked back, the monk didn't catch up, so I was relieved, and said in my heart: "Damn, what the hell is this place, how can there be so many weird things, and there is such a terrible monk, I don't know where it came from, what the hell is it." This place is too dangerous, I have to get out of here as soon as possible and find a way to find Cheng Jiao and them. ”
After a short break, I continued to walk forward, took a few steps, and with a flashlight, I noticed something flashing in the vines under a large tree.
"What's that?" I thought to myself, and picked up a branch from the ground and walked to the vines, and carefully used the branches to pull away the vines, and without looking at them, this sight frightened me back several steps, and I almost fell to the ground, and inside the vines was a corpse.
"Who is this?" I thought to myself, stabilized my mind, walked to the vine again, gently pulled the vine with a branch, and looked inside, inside was a decomposed corpse, vaguely visible wearing a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, already tattered, wearing a pair of travel shoes underneath, curled up, it looked like hiding in this pile of vines, but I don't know why he died, from the clothes and body shape should be a man, wearing a watch on his hand, the flash just now is the watch reflected by the flashlight, The corpse was crawling with something like beetles and maggots, and I couldn't help but feel sick.
Judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, this person has been dead for a long time, but judging from the clothes, it should be a modern person, is it related to the archaeological team more than ten years ago?
I covered my mouth and nose with my hands, and slowly picked up the vines next to the corpse with a branch, I was not interested in the origin of this corpse, in fact, even if there was a stunning beauty sitting there smiling and waving at me, I was not interested, because I was now running for my life, I was only interested in a backpack next to this corpse, I now have nothing but the strong flashlight in my hand, once the flashlight ran out I would fall into the dark, the consequences would be very terrible, maybe there was a lighter in the backpack of this corpse, Flashlights or weapons and other things that work for me, I can't take care of that much to escape.
I picked up the backpack next to the corpse with a branch, pinched the backpack with my hand, twitched it with the branch, shook off the beetles and maggots on it, pinched the backpack into an open space and threw it on the ground, opened the backpack, and poured out the contents inside.
There were a lot of things in the backpack, I was overjoyed when I saw it, there was a lighter in it, I tried it, and it could still light a fire, which was exactly what I needed, with a fire it would be much safer. In addition, there are some canned food, bread and other food, bread or something has been moldy and rotten, but the canned food should still be edible, at least enough for me to maintain for a while when I can't find food, there is a wallet in the backpack, I opened it and looked, there was a thick stack of money inside, all of which were the third and fourth sets of RMB of ten or five, I said in my heart, it was really not in vain, if I could get out alive, these third and fourth sets of RMB could appreciate and sell for some money, of course, this is just self-deprecation, but judging from the money, This body should have died in the eighties and nineties of the last century, which coincided with the time of the mysterious archaeological team, and it was very likely that it was someone from the archaeological team.
I put the money away, and I accidentally saw a photo in a transparent mezzanine on the inside of my wallet, and I thought to myself that this photo might be related to the corpse, and I was curious, so I took the photo out of the mezzanine and looked at the photo with a flashlight.
As soon as I looked at the photo, my head "buzzed", I felt that the world was spinning, and I almost didn't faint, there was a man and a woman in the photo, it seemed that I was taken in a park, the man put his arm around the woman's shoulder, it seemed that the woman was the man's girlfriend, the man was in his twenties, and his face was familiar to me, it was a face that I thought was the most handsome in the world, not an ordinary person, that was the face I had seen in the mirror for nearly twenty or thirty years, yes, that was my own face!
