Chapter Ninety-Six: Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains
The handwriting on the earthen wall is deeply engraved, and it can be seen from the traces that it has been carved many times. The engraver feared that the earthen wall, which was made of red clay stone that was stronger than the stone wall, would be eroded by time, and that the story of him would dissipate. Now, Li Le and Fan Qinghui have come here and seen the story he left on the earthen wall. Learn the whole story of this place.
The engraver is called Gong Changhe, who was originally a mason in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, and was recruited here to participate in the construction of the mausoleum at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Because of the craftsmanship of making gold bricks that has been passed down from generation to generation, it has been reused here. The court spent a lot of money to recruit him, and when he left, he was in a hurry, and he only had time to say goodbye to his wife and his mother, but he didn't have the opportunity to tell the children under his knees.
He knows very well that this is a point of no return, but he has no choice, if he goes, he will die, and if he does not go, he will die, and the difference between the two is that if he goes, he will have a settlement fee of eight taels of gold. Before coming here, he thought it was a lot of money, enough to settle the family's life until his eldest son came of age after he left. After a long journey, he came to this place and began his days of polishing the gold bricks every day. He worked in this place for thirty-two years, from the grinding master to the position of chief engineer. In the past 32 years, he has handled no less than 2 million gold bricks, each weighing about 15 catties, and at least 8 taels of gold have to be mixed with it.
In the beginning, he had little time to think about anything other than work. But as time went on, as he rose in status, more and more free time made him start to feel homesick. Thinking about it day and night, I first thought about my old mother, and then when I got older, I thought that most of my old mother was gone, and I began to think about my wife and sons, and then persuaded myself that my wife might have become someone else's wife, and my son couldn't keep someone else's surname, so I began to miss the grass and trees in my hometown, the old yellow dog and the big cat at home.
It's not that I didn't want to escape, but this is where the core secret of the Yuan Empire is, and there are many unknown dangers in addition to the heavy army, and tens of thousands of people have been requisitioned here from the Central Plains, and none of them can escape back to their hometowns. Escape? It's just a matter of thinking.
There were often dead people in the brickyard, and there were often haunted ghosts and rats, and the guards who supervised the construction brought in dozens of strange things that looked like cats and not cats from outside, so there were fewer rats, and the strange sounds in the night were gone. And he's finally found a little fun.
Li Le said: "It seems that these rabbits were left at that time. ”
Fan Qinghui said: "What did he say was haunted here?" Can these cats still be ghost-proof? ”
"Although the rabbit looks like a cat, it was called a tengu in ancient times, and it has magical powers and discernment, which can ward off evil spirits and prevent evil." Li Le said solemnly: "Although the words of ghosts and gods are not examinable, but after all, everyone is gold, not necessarily out of nothing, I was in the army when I carried out a special mission, was ordered to track down a good at raising ghosts and harming people, that person committed countless crimes, the victim who died in his hands was miserable, but the scene never left a trace, I tracked this person to Jiujiang, when the sky was foggy, I first heard the sound of ghosts crying wolf, noisy I had a headache, and then followed his voice to shoot a shot, after killing the warlock, All sounds stopped. ”
Fan Qinghui said: "Your experience is really rich, this is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing." He added: "It seems that this rabbit can prevent ghosts, but it may not be true." ”
The two continued to look down.
In the last twelve years of Gong Changhe's here, he formed a deep friendship with these white-faced tengus. Until one day, suddenly news came from the downstream of the underground river that the underground gold city had been completed and there was no longer a need for the gold bricks they made. Those responsible for transporting the gold bricks brought not only the news, but also death. A ten-division commander of the Mongol army, who was destined to be buried here for a long time like him, told him that in order to fill the ambush of the Golden City, the Mengyuan Empire searched for strange beasts in all the areas under its rule, and their final role was to test the power of these strange beasts. After that, the place was filled with those terrifying giant geckos.
It turns out that those guys in the black hole are alien species. When Li Le and Fan Qinghui saw this, they somewhat understood the origin of the two strange beasts here. The only way out was blocked by the alien geckos, and everyone was trapped alive here. Only the agile and ferocious rabbits survived and thrived to this day.
It's a complete tragedy that people are dead, but animals are alive. But Gong Changhe's old senior's tone seemed to be full of pleasure. He said in the end: Just imagine, is it really a good thing to survive in such an environment and live for a long time? Die, die, whether it's a Mongolian or a Han person, let's die a clean death together.
Li Le frowned and said: "According to the records above, those big geckos were entrenched in the black hole back then and blocked the only way out, everyone was trapped here, hundreds of years have passed, those big geckos are probably increasing unabated, and it will only be more difficult for the two of us to escape than back then." ”
Fan Qinghui looked at Li Le, for some reason, she was not very worried that she would copy the fate of her predecessors. The outside world is complicated, and people will inevitably worry and stumble if they don't die. But if a person dies, no worries or shackles are insignificant, and this is called the doomsday mentality. Being in a Jedi is no different from dying, so there are only men and ** here. She faintly looked forward to the next Li Le who was helpless against the big gecko.
Heaven did not follow people's wishes, and Li Le quickly thought of a way to find the source of the sulfur smell. All things are mutually reinforcing, and this thing is the gecko's nemesis. Naturally occurring in the red mudstone used to burn gold bricks, Gong Changhe buried many high-sulfur minerals within a certain range in order to live longer.
"With this thing, those big geckos don't dare to come forward." Li Le dug up a large piece of reddish-brown ore on the ground, and the strong smell of sulfur was pungent.
Fan Qinghui sighed secretly, put away the doomsday mentality, nodded and said, "You still have a way." ”
Li Le said: "This alone may not be enough, that underground river channel is unfathomable, I don't know how many of those big geckos are hidden in it, let's rashly bring this thing in, startle them, and scatter to flee for their lives, that scene is not a joke." ”
Fan Qinghui said: "Then what should I do?" ”
Li Le pointed to the rabbits squatting on the side and said, "It's best to bring a few rabbits on the boat, in case the geckos are in chaos, they can also help us." ”
Again, this is a difficult thing. Although rabbits are not hostile to humans, it does not mean that they will listen to human commands.
Li Le tried to get close to the rabbit king, under eye contact, this guy was extremely vigilant, Li Le made a slight movement, it immediately jumped away quickly, baring its teeth and claws full of fighting intent. Li Le spread his hands helplessly, he has a specialization in the art industry, he is not a monster with Niwa starry, and he has nothing to do with animals.
Fan Qinghui took out a small packet of compressed food from her backpack, slowly squatted down, and opened the packet to let the tempting smell spread inside. She looked intently at the rabbit king. This guy was born with an angry face, and he stood there proudly. Fan Qinghui made a grenade sound in his mouth. Because the inscription on the earthen wall says that in that era, the rabbit was called a white-faced tengu. This animal is mentioned in the Book of Mountains and Seas. Fan Qinghui had read the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so she tried to imitate the cry of a rabbit according to the description of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The smart ** needs to learn to play stupid first. Men like to say silly **cute, but in fact, cute ** is almost not silly. It's silly, it's never cute. When Li Le talked about the tengu to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil before, Fan Qinghui actually deliberately pretended to know nothing.
The cry of the grenade caught the attention of the Rabbit King, who looked at Fan Qinghui with strange eyes. Wondering why this strange creature screams like we do? And what exactly is that little piece of thing in her hand, and why does it smell so good? Judging by the appearance and size of the rabbits, the meat of the big gecko may be good, but even the most delicious things will become less delicious after many years of eating. Changing tastes is a biological instinct, and there is no difference between humans and animals.
The Rabbit King was satisfied with Fan Qinghui's friendly and humble attitude, and became even more curious about the taste of the food in Fan Qinghui's hands. It decided to lean over and take a look. I saw it walking with a dragon and a tiger, cross-legged and walking, and came to Fan Qinghui with his body. first lowered his head and sniffed the taste of compressed beef, and then slowly stretched out**Added,**Swept Fan Qinghui's palm, and the hook hidden inside cut the palm.
Blood flowed out, and Fan Qinghui's little hand trembled slightly, but she didn't move.
The Rabbit King suddenly opened his bloody mouth, his sharp teeth flashing with cold light. Li Le wanted to move, but Fan Qinghui waved his hand to stop him. The rabbit raccoon king rolled his long tongue, and the compressed beef pellet was rolled into the mouth. The sharp teeth slashed across Fan Qinghui's white and transparent wrist, leaving no scars. Fan Qinghui smiled and took out the second compressed beef. The king of rabbits is unceremoniously concocted in the same way.
The next moment, Fan Qinghui's hand passed over the proud head of the Rabbit King, this guy was like an entangled kitten. Li Le can only sigh, the charm of the beauty is really unstoppable.
The next question is how to persuade the Rabbit King and his people to follow him and Fan Qinghui to the black hole in the river. When Li Le was still thinking about whether to use food ** or force to coerce, Fan Qinghui had already pointed to the black hole in the river and said to the guy: "Good cat, we are going to walk out of there, don't you want to follow?" ”
Under the ** of Fan Qinghui's little hand, the rabbit king squinted, very **, and rubbed his fat body on Fan Qinghui's legs. Fan Qinghui left, and this guy immediately followed. The rest of the rabbits tried to follow, but were scared away by a low roar when they turned around.
"It's amazing!" Fan Qinghui exclaimed excitedly: "It seems to understand what I mean, and it is reluctant to take risks with its kind." ”
Li Le said: "All things are animist, the rabbit raccoon is one of the first domesticated animals, with a high wisdom inheritance, these rabbits have multiplied for generations in this dark place, not necessarily willing, maybe it also wants to open up a road to the outside world." ”
Time is precious, and the nights are long and the dreams are many.
Li Le packed a lot of sulfur ore on his back, and even put two pieces in Fan Qinghui's pocket in order to be sure. Take the lead and walk to the small pier. Fan Qinghui led the Rabbit King to follow closely.
There are several small boats docked on the small pier. The hull is long and narrow, with two ends pointed and wide in the middle, and it rests on a sampan for transporting goods. I don't know what kind of wood it is made of, but after hundreds of years of water vapor erosion, there is still no sign of decay. Li Le jumped on one without hesitation, poured out some of the sulfur ore in his backpack and sprinkled it on the sampan. Fan Qinghui and the rabbit king also followed on the boat. Some worried: "Will this trick work?" ”RG()
