Chapter 21: The Chrysalis, the Lair (text)
"But these things are really weird, and those eyes are exactly like human eyes. When I showed them, my heart was filled with panic, as if I was being stared at by a dead man!" Fauber patted his chest and whispered.
"These things have minds of their own, and they are particularly interested in corpses, and they especially like to carry them to their lair. They ate all the entrails of the carcass, and the rest of the flesh was made into figurines, and when they slept, if the young rats hatched, they took these pupae as food......
Chen Cripple had seen these rats, so he said with certainty: "When I didn't make my debut, I mixed in a team and wanted to pick up some cheap, but in the cave, I met a batch of rats. There were a few old men who ran slowly and they were bitten by unknown life and death, and we didn't pay attention to them, but later we found the nest of those rats in the cave, and the four or five old men wrapped a layer of gelatinous material in it, and when we dug it out, there was an old man still breathing, but there was a fist-sized hole in the middle of the stomach, and I don't know how many rats crawled into it to eat the internal organs. ”
Zhao San also saw this kind of mouse for the first time, and his face turned blue when he heard it at this time, he turned his head and said: "Meng boy, I think your third uncle has been good to you all these years, if your third uncle really dragged away this group of beasts, you will directly give your third uncle a shot, and the province will suffer before he dies!" ”
"Third uncle, don't say these words to scare people, I will tremble when the time comes, this gun is not in the right place, you can't die, don't blame me!" Zhang Meng was furious when he heard this, and he wanted to leave this ghost place quickly.
"Put this betel nut in your mouth, and soak it in a cloth for everyone, and when you see a miasma rising when you leave, you should be smart and quickly cover your nose. It's the same with these rats, don't make a sound, or they'll call for our companions to carry us home, and we'll have to spend the night in their nests today. ”
The sick ghost took out a few betel nuts and distributed them to the big guys, these betel nuts have a very spicy taste, and if you put them in your mouth, you won't be sleepy for no reason like just now.
"Ah Fu, now that we are walking at night, can you still tell the direction?"
"It should be no problem, when I went to Shaoshan, I still held the year I came back, at that time I specially wrote down the direction, if you have a compass, it is not a big problem!" Fu Bo said with certainty that although he was not able to get any benefits in Shaoshan back then, Fu Bo still thought that he would sell this clue to cultural relics dealers in the future, and maybe he could sell it for a good price.
A few people were tiptoeing along, they had just hurried out, and some things had fallen into the house, and they hadn't picked them up, which was a lot easier at this time.
"There are a few important things left in the two big bags, and if we drop the folding shovel, I'm afraid we'll have to go back and get it!" Zhang Meng said with a smile.
Salad Salad ......
In front of them, a small group of rats rushed by from a short distance, and the sick man waved his hand to stop the crowd, covering his nose with a cloth, and several of them did the same.
These rats were circling around, staring at countless blood-red eyes, Rao is Zhang Meng had already seen it once, but he was still so frightened that he almost cried out.
Zhao San's face was a little unsightly, he pushed Zhang Meng down with his elbow, pointed at the rats, and then pointed at his teeth.
Zhang Meng looked at those rats, his face suddenly turned pale, and the teeth that these rats had rolled up didn't know when they had been broken. There was a slight rot around the corners of their mouths, as if these rats had hit rocks with their mouths and broken their rolled teeth, and these rats had poor vision, so the bright lights were not turned off, but they seemed to sense something, and spun around in place a little anxiously.
Looking at a small piece of sharp teeth popping out of the mouth, Zhang Meng couldn't wait to grow a few more feet, if this bite fell on the meat, I was afraid that a piece of meat would be lifted directly.
Several people didn't dare to breathe, and after a few minutes, the rats finally left.
"Fuck, these rats are disgusting, the hair on their bodies looks like they're being plucked, do you know what's going on, old ghost?" Zhao San scolded and asked.
The sick ghost replied as he walked, "I don't know this very well, but these evil rats spend nine-tenths of the year in hibernation, and they only come out to hide and eat except for the occasional miasma outbreak." During this time, there is no nutrition at all, and their hair should also be degenerated. ”
A few people were talking, but the speed under their feet was indeed not slow at all, this ghost place was Zhao San's sick ghosts, and they didn't want to stay for another minute.
"Strange, how do I hear someone singing?" Zhang Meng said suspiciously. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, as if he heard someone singing Peking Opera, this sound was not the same as the sound of the rat, the rat's voice seemed to have nothing else but 'babbling', and what he heard seemed to be quite complete.
"Don't talk nonsense, where would there be someone else in this kind of hellish place."
"It came from the place down the mountain!" Zhang Meng kept her ears open for a long time, and finally heard the source clearly. The sound was very ghostly, as if a cat meow suddenly came from among the ten birds, and people could tell it at once.
Zhang Meng walked a few steps, stood at the edge of the mountain road and bent down to look down, but there was a black hole below, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"It's black, Uncle Zhao bothered to get a glow stick, I still have to see what kind of thing this thing came from......"
Zhang Meng turned his head, but found that Zhao San's face became a little strange, Zhao San didn't speak, he turned his head slightly, as if to remind Zhang Meng of something, Zhang Meng looked back curiously, this time, his soul almost flew out of his body.
I don't know when, there was a coffin not far from him, an old woman wearing an ancient official uniform and a dark green complexion was half-sitting in the coffin, as if she had just woken up from sleep, smiling strangely. Zhang Meng looked back, just met the eyes of this old woman, and almost closed it in fright!
