Chapter 301: There's a ghost
Although they reached the flat ground, the three of them did not dare to bend their waists and pass quickly in front of the house like they did yesterday.
Yesterday, there was a lot of snoring in the house, and the miners were asleep. And so many people who came out to get their clothes just now must be awake now, and the slightest movement or flickering of human figures will alarm them.
So the three of them did not act rashly, but hid around the corner, observing whether there was any abnormal situation, and also looking for a better route to travel.
But when I look around, the back of the house is basically attached to the mountain wall, and like yesterday, only the front of the house can be passed.
"Huh."
"Boom ......"
"Click."
The lightning flashed still, but the rolling thunder turned into brittle thunder.
"Pap", "Pap", heavy raindrops fell, hit the ground, hit the roof, and made a sound.
If you don't leave now, when will you stay?
The tall man looked back for a moment, and immediately bent his waist and ran quickly forward along the wall in front of the house.
The two people in the back didn't dare to slack off, and immediately lowered their waists, concocted the same method, and ran forward.
"Brush", a flash crossed.
Under the light, three dark shadows can be seen in front of the house wall like ghosts.
"Click", "pop", the rain is more urgent.
Although they were beaten by the raindrops, the three of them secretly rejoiced at the sound that was easy to cover.
I finally passed through the living quarters and arrived at the north side of the house.
Separated by a few rooms, there were several rooms without doors and windows, and the three of them flashed into the first room.
"Bang", "Bang", the raindrops turned into a rain curtain.
A little bit worse, a few seconds later, the three of them will turn into soup chicken in seconds, and it will be a black chicken with reddish-brown soup.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, the rain is really heavy.
For such a rain, the three of them had a bottom in their hearts, knowing that it would definitely not last long. If it is a moderate rain, it will be more continuous.
"Bang", "rub", the sound sounded.
"Huh?" An exclamation of surprise rang out.
Although the voice was not high, although it was shouted unconsciously, it was enough for the two companions to hear.
A pillar of light shone on the corner of the house.
At the end of the pillar of light was a pair of black eyes and a fluffy gray monkey with a monkey's cheeks.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be the movement of the big rat.
Except for this mouse, there are bare walls, and nothing else.
The flashlight went out.
Fortunately, it was raining outside, otherwise if someone came out, they would have seen the house, and even in the dormitory, they might have heard it.
Because of the rain, none of this happened, and the three were still safe.
It was really timely rain, not only helped the three of them pass through the accommodation area smoothly, but also successfully covered up the sound just now. Otherwise, the rats may make noises, which will arouse people's alarm or attention.
There was no movement in the room, and even the rat stopped making a sound, I don't know if it was hiding, or it was peeking at the three uninvited guests.
"Whoa......
It's been more than ten minutes, and the rain is still falling, although it is a little lighter than before, but it is still moderate enough, and it is still very strong.
Looking at this posture, the previous kind of happiness has long been gone, and then it is worried and irritable. If this continues, how will the situation be investigated, and how will the target be found? The key is that it is falling outside, and there is no way to go out at all, so it will inevitably be drenched in soup, and it will not be able to move forward normally. But if it is just wasted, time will be wasted, and it is impossible for Xu Jianjun to delay indefinitely.
Wait, the more anxious you are, the more you have to be patient and calm, otherwise the situation will change in a hurry.
Everyone admonishes themselves like this, but it is very difficult to really do it.
"Whoa......
"Whoa......
The sound of rain came one after another, and the anxiety in the hearts of the three of them became more and more serious.
Why don't you stop, but for a while? The middle one secretly raised his hand to look, and only five minutes had passed.
How many five minutes are you waiting? Today's minutes are too long, as long as the degree is divided into hours, at least the degree is like the hour.
Five minutes
Five minutes
After another three or five minutes, the rain finally subsided, much lighter.
Can't wait any longer.
The three of them slipped into the rain curtain.
Due to the rapid pace, the little one stumbled one by one, and almost fell, but fortunately was grabbed by the medium next to him.
Before they had time to think about it, the three black shadows went from house to house to look for them.
There are seven houses in this bunch, five without doors and windows, and two locked.
There is nothing in the house without doors and windows, which is completely in line with the scene of "four walls of the house", but it is obviously not poor here, but deliberately abandoned.
The flashlight shone through the two locked rooms, which were piled up with miscellaneous things, not many things, and relatively neat and orderly. There was nothing in the room like last night's sack, and there was no way to hide something that big.
Leaving the place, the trio continued to move north, and after walking a short distance, they found five more old houses. These five old houses still have no doors or windows, and they are also empty inside.
Further north, there are empty fields and dark mountain walls.
After walking a long way, it was still empty, but the ditches were gone, and they were all flat, and the light was visible in front of the left. At this time, the three also had an argument. Of course, it is not a loud shout, but a gesture that can be seen from each other, accompanied by a whispered lip shape.
The reason for the disagreement is that after looking for such a pass, I didn't find anything, and it is possible that I won't find anything later. The middle and low two wanted to go down the mine in front of the left to find it, but the big and high ones resolutely disagreed, let alone look for a mine for them.
Although the number of people is two to one, without the cooperation of the big tall man and others, it is impossible for the two of them to go down the well. This is a mine hundreds of meters deep, not a rural well, and it is impossible to go down with a rope. If you want to go down the shaft here, you need to take a special cable car, go down diagonally or vertically, and you also need to be equipped with necessary things such as miner's lamps, and you must allow the control personnel to do so.
The arms can't twist their thighs, and the two have no temper, but they are obviously not convinced, and they will wait for a while to "compete" again.
Although he was not convinced, the medium one was not only a little discouraged, but even questioned the source of the news. The reason why he was discouraged was not just because he didn't see anything now, but because there was no clue about the previous news at all, which was more like a groundless news. But that person didn't have to come out of nowhere, and the timing was also very coincidental, and the time in the message was very consistent with the time period they described.
The rain is getting lighter and lighter, and it looks like it's going to stop soon.
But then there was a little wind, and it flickered.
Another breeze blew.
What does it smell? As they walked, all three of them sniffled.
stink
rancid odor,
The smell of corpse decay.
The trio came up with a progressive analysis.
Why is it gone? The three of them turned their necks and sniffed.
To use an inappropriate analogy, the behavior of the three of them now is very similar to that of the two creatures at the gate of the compound.
Another light wind blew.
The stench ensues.
Over there, the three of them looked to the right front.
Suddenly, the wind came, and so did the stench.
No more hints, no gestures, the three of them walked away.
As long as the wind rises, the stench will follow; When the wind stopped, the stench disappeared immediately, but the direction from which the stench came from remained the same.
Walking and walking, even if there is no wind blowing, the smell will still come at any time.
The three of them glanced at each other and quickened their pace.
The stench grew stronger and stronger, and a black slimy thing appeared in my sight, which looked like a house, and was taller than a house, but it obviously did not fit the width and height ratio of the building.
Getting closer, getting smellier.
It was a walled yard with a roof in the yard, and the roof was a little higher than the courtyard wall.
Holding their breath as close as possible, the three of them slowed down, keeping an eye on whether there was movement in front of them, and also looking around for abnormalities.
No vocals, no barking.
The three of them walked along the outer wall and walked to the gate of the courtyard.
Hidden on the side of the wall, the three of them looked in through the gap in the door, hanging the line with one eye.
Above the courtyard was a layer of mesh, and underneath the mesh was a bulging pile of stuff covered with tarpaulin, from which the smell came from.
The little one immediately made a gesture, and the meaning was obvious: go in and have a look.
The medium nodded in agreement.
The tall man groaned slightly and raised his right index finger.
The medium and the short looked at each other, not quite understanding the meaning of the tall one. Maybe the other person is saying 'just once', or 'for the last time', or it may mean 'the last day of this operation'.
Although I didn't quite understand it, I obviously agreed with what the other party meant. So the middle and low two looked at each other and nodded.
The three of them reached a consensus.
The tall man stepped forward alone, and the other two remained where they were.
He walked lightly to the middle of the door, and the tall man leaned against the door and listened, but he didn't hear any sound. Then he touched his waist, and a small object went to his right hand, and then he grabbed the lock with his left hand, and the small object stabbed at the lock.
It took a few seconds for the small object to poke into the keyhole, and the tall man turned his right hand.
It may be that the lock is rusty due to moisture, or it may not be opened for a while, and it takes thirty or forty seconds for the lock to make a "click" sound.
The tall man listened, took off the lock, opened the door and inserted a stick, making a slight "whooshing" sound.
After a pause, the tall man gently pushed the iron door.
"Squeak", "Grid".
Despite extreme caution, the iron door made a noise.
Flashed to the side, listened, looked inside, and beckoned.
The two men understood, and immediately stepped forward quickly.
The high, middle, and low three people walked into the courtyard in turn.
Maybe he was impatient, or maybe he wasn't careful enough, and when the iron door was closed again, there were two "clangs" in a row.
The tall man looked back at the little one and ran to the pile of covers.
The little man was obviously not affected by the sound and the staring, and directly stepped forward, grabbed the corner of the tarpaulin, and lifted it directly.
"Suddenly", the stench immediately spread, choking the nasal tube, and the sound of retching sounded at the scene.
A flashlight beam shines on it.
No wonder it stinks, it turned out to be a pile of garbage.
Not at all something imaginary.
"Over there, 'Bang Dang' and 'Bang Dang' sounded twice."
"Why didn't I hear that?"
Suddenly, the sound of two men talking came from the voice.
What to do? What can I do? Hide.
The big one dragged the small one on the ground, and the three of them quickly went around to the other side.
"Eh, how did the door open?" There was a sound of doubt, and the courtyard door opened with a "bang".
The flashlight shines directly on the garbage dump.
Then the conversation resumed.
"Why did the tarpaulin get lifted too?"
"Ahh Ghosts. ”
"Where?"
"That, that, that, hands, hands, there's a ghost!"
