We were reluctant to eat the only few pieces of dry food on our bodies, and if we really entered the tomb, dry food would become the only food to replenish energy, so until the critical moment, we tried to find some wild food to satisfy our hunger.
It's getting hotter and hotter, and now it's about to be the Spring Festival, and on the border of Yunnan, it's starting to get hot at the end of winter. The scorching sun shines on the eternal primeval forest, the whole forest is hot, walking on the empty ancient road, the whole person is hot like a fire, and the bead-like sweat falls down in a line. Huang Wei was panting and muttering about the hot weather.
I walked into a mountain peak, and there were some streams in it, and it was much cooler under the shade of tall ancient trees. Huang Wei put down his backpack, sat on the ground, pulled the placket of his clothes and blew cold air with his mouth. I pulled some branches and leaves, and sat down with him.
The mountains are so quiet that the roads are overgrown with weeds, and it seems that people don't come to these places very often. The wind does not blow, the leaves do not move, and although there are vast ancient trees, the ground is also steaming hot, as if to roast all living things.
"What the hell is this weather, how can it be so hot." Huang Wei said while panting.
"I don't know, it's not summer yet, it's so hot, if it's summer, isn't there only a dead end." I replied to him.
The sweat on our bodies slowly cooled, so we went to the stream to dip some water and wipe the sweat on our bodies, there is a stream here, but there is very little water, only some water will accumulate in the uneven channel. Huang Wei said: "What kind of water is this, the water flow is not as thick as my sweat beads." ”
After quenching my thirst, I took out the kettle and refilled it with some water. Then take out the map and see how far away the sister mountain is. The border of Yunnan is sparsely populated, and we didn't meet anyone along the way, only faint ancient roads and tall trees.
Suddenly, Huang Weiwei shouted, "What the hell, why do you have two heads?" ”
On a large tree pole beside us there was a monster that looked like a snake but not a snake, no bigger than an arm, but this strange thing was extremely long, about four or five meters long, with two nods, and its whole body was green, like covered with green moss.
When the monster saw us, he slowly climbed up the tree. Because the tree pole was taller and the branches and foliage were more numerous, the monster gradually disappeared from our field of vision. Because this monster is so weird, we changed it until we continued to watch.
Twenty or thirty meters above the tree pole, there was a faint coffin. I thought I was dazzled and didn't dare to tell Huang Wei, but what I didn't expect was that Huang Wei also said strangely: "How can there be a coffin on this tree?" ”
We looked carefully and saw that there was indeed a coffin at the place where the tree pole was opened, and the coffin was a little old, more like a rotting old tree root. And the two-headed monster also climbed along the tree pole, and finally got into the coffin.
"Hell yes, hell definitely." Huang Wei roared twice.
"In broad daylight, where will there be ghosts, don't think about it." I said to Huang Wei. That being said, but in this case, everyone is psychologically hairy, and the legend says that ghosts dare not appear during the day, but legends are legends, and no one knows what ghosts are in reality.
"Looks like we're going to be in trouble." I said to Huang Wei.
I once heard people in the village say that when you see a snake climbing a tree, it is actually a dragon incarnated into a snake, which is a snake on the surface, but a dragon in essence, and this is an unlucky thing. That is to say, seeing this kind of snake that can climb trees is actually seeing a dragon, and seeing a dragon means meeting your own primordial spirit.
If you see your own primordial god, then the calamity will also come. I didn't dare to tell Huang Wei that the two-headed snake was actually our two primordial gods, maybe God also knew that the two of us were like one person and one shadow, so our two primordial gods were also one body and two heads.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, my scalp tingled, and I hope that this legend will always be just a legend.
"Would you like to go up and have a look? Find out what the hell this thing is? Huang Wei said to me.
I thought to myself: Since things have come to this point, and everything is determined by God, then what else do I have to fear? So I was much bolder. "Go, how can you not go, maybe there is still some oil and water to fish." I replied to him.
Huang Wei also relied on me, and he was also ready to climb up and have a look. He put the kettle down, took a watermelon knife and stuck it in his waist, intending to climb up to take a look. Huang Wei also planned to go with me, but I didn't agree, because the trees were no better than the ground, and there were many dangers, and if you were careful, you might be crushed.
The pole is too large to climb and can be more than two meters in diameter alone, and the age of the tree is no less than a few hundred years. I can't name this tree, but its branches are shiny and its branches are very hard. I cut a few footprints with my knife so that I could get down, but the tree was too hard to cut deep.
Fortunately, I am no stranger to climbing trees, and it took me about half an hour to finally climb to the place where the coffin was. I pulled out the knife at my waist and prepared to fight the monsters on both sides. Although the coffin is a little old, it is still intact, and it seems that this wood is not ordinary wood. But when I saw this complete coffin, I was even more unsure in my heart, since the coffin was intact, how could the two-headed monster get in?
I didn't dare to do it, hesitated. Huang Wei couldn't wait to shout under the tree: "Do it, if you don't do it, it will be dark." ”
I watched the yellowing sunset, slowly descending, and it seemed that soon it would be dark, and by then we would be in an even more dangerous state. Thinking of this, I held the watermelon knife tightly in my right hand and pushed the rotten coffin board with my left hand, but what I didn't expect was that I couldn't push it away. The tree looks rotten, but it is as heavy as it was then.
I have heard someone in the village say that there is such a tree growing in the ancient forest, which is called wild lychee, this kind of tree is extremely heavy, even if it rots, the quality is not reduced, and it can be burned with fire to turn into stones, so people often come to burn lime in this wild lychee tree. The fruit it bears, the size of the ring finger, is very sweet, but this tree is not very common.
I didn't have much time to think about it at the moment, so I stuck the watermelon knife at my waist, pushed the heavy coffin board with both hands, and finally pushed it to the ground, and the wooden board fell from the end of the tree twenty or thirty meters high to the ground, and the crushed branches fell to the ground fiercely, with a loud bang, bursting all over the mountain.
I immediately took out the watermelon knife and prepared to fight the two-headed monster. Huang Wei couldn't wait to ask me what was in the ground, I didn't dare to get distracted, and walked over slowly with a knife in my hand.
There were no bones in it, and there was nothing except for the owner's favorite items in his life, and I thought to myself: these two monsters are really gods, and they have disappeared without a trace, is it really hell? My heart tingled, but when I opened it, I still wanted to double what was inside.
The white bones in the coffin have been rotted and withered, and when touched with a knife, they will break immediately, and the clothes on the body have already fallen off in the coffin, turning into a black substance sticking to the bottom cover of the coffin, it seems that the coffin has been placed for a while.
"There's nothing, just a dead ghost lying inside." I told Huang Wei.
"What about the two-headed monster? It's gone? Huang Wei asked.
"The two-headed monster is gone, but the oil and water will still be there." I said to Huang Wei.
Beneath the black substance was a small box, about the size of two palms combined, which was supposed to be made of silver, but it was completely visible where part of the box was opened. I thought to myself: don't care so much for now, take it down, after all, it's silver, and the size should be worth a little money.
I took out the box and threw it at Huang Wei. Huang Wei asked me to throw down the box, quickly picked it up, and said in his mouth: "If you get rich, will it be the night pearl inside." ”
Hearing him say this, my heart is overjoyed, what a night pearl is, a night pearl, can be exchanged for a city, this thing is a priceless treasure.
After taking this thing, there was nothing left in the coffin, and I thought to myself: thieves are thieves, you gave me a treasure, and I have to let you sleep well, so I plan to push the other half of the coffin down and bury him.
I picked up the bits and pieces of bones and pushed the other half of the coffin down. Coming down to the ground, we buried the coffin with Huang Wei, and it was not too early to see that it was getting dark, we had to leave here, and neither of us wanted to encounter that two-headed monster again.
