We got to the edge of the tree hole, and it was very dark and we couldn't see clearly. The fat man shone it with a flashlight, and the scene inside frightened me and the fat man into taking two steps back.

The fat man's wolf-eye flashlight shone past, and a dried corpse face, which was already extremely dilapidated, was attached to the deep place in the tree hole. The black hole looked at me and the fat man, and we took two steps back to find that the dry corpse had not pounced.

The fat man seemed to be a little embarrassed because I saw that he was also frightened, and hurriedly said; "Slippery feet, slippery feet." We continued to look around and found that the hole was probably less than a meter deep. The corpse was chained to the inner wall of the hollow. The corpse struggled outward.

There are also two chains attached to the clavicle of the dried corpse, causing the corpse to look up at us. The expression of the dry corpse is quite hideous, and the hair is very long, which seems to be a woman. But it is also scattered on the head, and most of it has already fallen.

"That laughter can't be from this eldest sister."

The fat man was beside me with a Tibetan knife and flicked the dried corpse a few times, so I stopped him; "Don't move."

He's still fiddling with a big grin. I saw large and small dense black hollows on the dry wrinkled skin of the dried corpse, and when I saw this, my scalp was numb, and a feeling of being scratched by something swept through my body.

I pointed to the exposed skin in disgust and told the fat man to look at it. The fat man was also stunned when he saw it, and I resisted my nausea to look at the hollows. It is as dense as the surface of the lotus pod, and the hollow hole is very round. The fat man lifted the fabric that adhered to the abdomen of the dried corpse, and I saw that the entire abdomen of the dried corpse was full of holes like this.

"What is this?" The fat man put down the clothes he had picked up with some disgust to cover the dense holes, and I got up and stopped looking, swallowed my saliva and said; "Something bug-eaten is it?"

"Not really." The fat man replied, I turned my attention to the cave without looking at the dried corpse, and there seemed to be something piled up in the hollow. The fat man crouched down and got in. The space inside is less than two square meters.

A pile of gray flocculent was piled up in the corner of the cave, and I had to crouch at the mouth of the hole. The fat man used his knife to flick away the pile of things that looked a little like spider webs, and to my surprise, under the pile of spider web-like flocculent was a stone as shiny as the platform outside.

I was a little confused, so I listened to the fat man's voice. Seeing that he stabbed the black stone with his knife, the tip of the knife went straight into it. That's what I saw, and it was a stone box made of black stone.

The blackstone box was pried open and thrown aside, and the craftsmanship of the box carving was poor. There are no decorative patterns, which should be purely practical. The lid of the stone box was lifted, and I could see that on the edge of the lid and the closure of the box, there were grooves and protrusions made to make the lid stronger.

The inside of the box was about the size of two old-fashioned lunch boxes, and the top was covered with something similar to cloth, and the fat man picked it with a knife, and the black cloth fabric on the surface shattered into several pieces. And what was underneath the cloth made me and the fat man both dumbfounded.

The contents of the box shone golden because of the fat man's flashlight, and it turned out to be a box of gold coins. The coin was slightly blackened, but it did not affect the golden glow it emitted. The fat man looked at me, and I saw that his eyes were glowing.

The fat man took one directly with his hand and put it under the flashlight to look carefully, there were some small patterns on the gold coin, I looked a bit like a phoenix, and a bit like a peacock. The lines are not too clear and not easy to see. The fat man took it and put it in his pocket, and I said; "What are you doing here?"

The fat man said as he put a handle into his pocket; "Rob the rich and give to the poor."

"You guys who do research also bring people who are full of money." There was sarcasm in my words.

He replied, as if he didn't care; "If you don't do research, you can't eat, and I'll give you a commission when we go out." As he spoke, he had already packed more than a dozen of them.

The gold coins in the box should have been covered in several layers, and the fat man had already finished one layer. When I took the gold coin below, I found that it was wrong, and there was no gold coin under the second layer. What caught my eye was a transparent stone, which I looked a bit like crystal, and the stone was not too regular, as if it had been knocked down from a larger piece.

The fat man took it out and looked at it, and under the flashlight, the transparent stone emitted a faint blue light. The fat man sighed at first sight; "his grandmother's, it's not kind, use this thing to press the box." As he spoke, he threw it to me, and I received it in my hand, and a cold feeling spread in the palm of my hand. It was as if I was holding a piece of ice in my hand, and it was so cold that I put the stone in my pocket.

The fat man rummaged twice in the box, and there were only more than twenty gold coins. He wanted me to move out as soon as he mentioned the stone box, and just as he turned around, I saw where the fat man was stunned.

He had a stone box in his hand, and I reached for it, but I saw that he didn't mean to hand it over again. I saw him staring at me stunned, just as I wanted to wake him up. I saw his eyes wriggle. It took me a long time to realize that he was worried about me, that there was something behind me.

I subconsciously turned my head to look, and as soon as I turned my head, my face was attached to the face of the dried corpse. I was so frightened that I fell into a hollow in a tree. I was squatting under the armpit of the dried corpse to look at the fat man, and I don't know when the dried corpse's head twisted and stuck to the back of my head.

The fat man lifted me up, and I got up, but the corpse didn't seem to move, and the corpse just poked its head out to look at us in a strange position. My voice trembled a little; "You...... You put your eldest sister's money back. Your eldest sister seems to be a little upset. ”

The fat man scolded back: "That's your eldest sister, what went into your grandfather's pocket, and she never put it back." ”

The fat man held me up, and we stared at the dried corpse, but at this time, it happened that there was a sudden lightning. Light came in through the hole, and the dried corpses were like monsters blocking the hole.

We didn't move for 10 minutes, and the rain was noisy outside. The fat man looked at it for a while and seemed to have found something, so he used a flashlight to shine on the head of the dried corpse, and the light slowly moved to his neck. Only then did I realize that its neck had been broken. There are also some things that I don't know if the skin is connected so they don't fall off completely.

The fat man scolded, stood up and kicked the dry corpse away. The mother's original position connecting the head and body of the dried corpse was broken, and the head drooped down. That's why it's going to be that pose.

When the fat man kicked out, the chains that connected several places on the corpse's body were broken with that part. The head rolled to the side. "You're too ruthless, take other people's money, and don't leave her a whole corpse."

The fat man snorted coldly; "If you look at her like this, she must be a traitor, otherwise she will be locked here when she dies. Death is death, and he still "" pretending to be a ghost to scare us, being a man is not a good person, and being a ghost is not a good ghost. ”

I saw that the fat man was holding other people's money, and he was so arrogant that he shook his head. After the fat man finished speaking, he proposed that since there was nothing here, we would go down.

Just as I was about to walk out of the hollow, the trunk of the dried corpse shook twice. A silver bell-like woman's laugh followed. The fat man and I froze, and the corpse was still shaking. When the fat man saw that I didn't move, he shouted, "Why are you stunned, run." ”

I reacted and jumped out of the tree hole, followed by the fat man. When it came out, the heavy rain poured all over my body, which made me very uncomfortable, but I didn't care about running to the edge of the stone platform. Xue Ning shouted below, muffled by the sound of rain, and the sound was very subtle. The fat man went back and lit the corpse, and his lighter was a little wet and lit several times.

The sound was too small in the rain to be heard face to face, so I had to shout; "Do you want to burn the mountain?" Then I heard him shouting in response to me; "Don't worry, it's okay, the tree hole has been opened for at least a few hundred years. It's all petrified. I can't burn it."

The dried corpse suddenly sank into the flames, and for a moment it led to the flocculent material on the side. The fat man dragged me down to the branch below, and I saw the fire in the hole above dim after a few flickers.

It took a lot of trouble for us to go down to Xue Ning's position, and he was trembling all over, and he could see joy on his face when he saw us coming. He seemed to want to ask what was wrong, but the fat man waved his hand and shouted to continue.

When we went down to the groove in the root of the tree in the ground, we found that the groove was full. We had to get the water out first and get into it, and the three of us were already shivering from the cold, and we felt better after baking it on the alcohol stove for a while. From time to time, water flowed down from it, and it was impossible to bake clothes.

Xue Ning rubbed his hands and asked; "What's up there, you've been up there for so long."

As soon as I wanted to open my mouth, the fat man gave me a look, and I knew what he meant, so I spread my finger to the fat man and asked Xue Ning to listen to him. The fat man briefly talked to Xue Ning about what we saw above, and did not mention the matter of gold coins at all.

Xue Ning touched his chin and made a slugging sound, not knowing what he was thinking. I asked, "What do you think of?" As a result, Xue Ning shook his head: "I don't know!" Never seen before. He took a breath of cold air and continued; But what you are saying may be some kind of place for punishment of criminals or sacrificial sacrifices. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the ground, and I knew he was referring to the stone with the pattern carved in the ground: "I have to get it out so I can see it." ”

It took a lot of effort to climb the tree, so we took a little rest. The rain was still pouring down, and it wasn't long before the fat man went to dispose of the thick branch with his knife. In a few clicks, two tools for digging soil were made.

One of us took turns outside with a moisture mat to protect from the rain, and the other two went to dig the soil. The rain has been soaked for so long, and the soil is very soft and easy to dig. It's just that there are some tiny roots and branches intertwined in the soil, and after digging for a while, you have to take a knife to cut it and dig it again.

In half an hour, we had already dug out a large piece of the stone. I don't know how big it was down there, a small bag on top, but we dug it up, and the stone bag was just a bulge on a large stone wall. We used the excavated earth to build small earthen dams to prevent water from entering the pits that we had dug out.

Xue Ning jumped down impatiently at this time, and we had to hold the moisture-proof mat to avoid the rain, and we had to scoop out the rainwater after a while.

The fat man turned on the flashlight, and the pit we dug was about three or four square meters, and the thick roots of the tree were already exposed on one side. At this time, we found that the stone with the pattern was a spherical protrusion. It's about a foot or more tall. Beneath the spherical stone is a large stone wall carved with thick lines, and the mud is on top of it, and it seems that there is still a large part of it in the soil, and it is not clear what is complete.
