Chapter 178: The Cliff
The broken shaft of the wooden door is still in an unused state, which is not the negligence of the craftsman, and some small feelings have begun to slowly emerge in my heart.
The carving and craftsmanship on the door panel are very meticulous, but when it comes to the door shaft, it is completely sloppy, not to mention the iron sheet wrapped on the door shaft to prevent wear, and even the basic cylinder is not carefully processed.
These doors were not stepped on, and the fat man kicked more than a dozen door panels from door to door, without exception, the door shafts were hastily done, but they were able to fix the door panels into the door frame.
"Are these houses uninhabited at all?" I looked at all the details one by one and finally came to this conclusion.
"Tell me more." The old generation waved his hand and asked me to explain in detail.
In fact, many details have surfaced before we enter the village, and we may have been misled into the trap of the other party by some intentional information, and the most critical problem that comes to my mind is that this place is not Yan Wuyun at all, or at least this is not the Yan Wucheng before the relocation.
At the beginning, the information we get may be deliberately designed by the other party, which is a trick. The trick of stealing beams and changing pillars, the other party has always asked us to check the real Yan Wuyi, and the information we saw is not fake, but it is not true either.
As for why you think that this village is fake, in fact, it is very easy to judge, the construction of the village is very random, and it is impossible to actively create this randomness. If you force it, it will be a lot of work.
The building specifications here are completely consistent with the internal structure, which is to save time and effort, and the doors and windows are built according to the unified specifications, they do not need to have actual use functions, as long as they look like that from the outside, so the door shaft and those places that are not visible can be dealt with casually, which not only achieves the effect of being fake, but also reduces the workload of craftsmen who repetitive labor.
It's just that we really don't understand what these are for, from the very beginning of the imperial tomb, to now the statement has changed, it seems that the builders have been misleading us. But when I think about it, I know that these things from thousands of years ago are naturally not set up for us, and the intention may not be directed at us.
"It makes sense to say this, no wonder we were able to enter the village in one day, but we walked for six days, and we took a fork in the road?" One of the several strong men was in an uproar.
"The fork in the road is impossible to walk, hiss...... What kind of medicine is you selling in your unlucky brother's gourd? The fat man thought about it for a while, although there were already many clues, but these intermittent lines could not be connected to a complete silk thread after all.
"So what are we going to do next?" At this point, I was a little confused, whether to find more people to help, or continue to do it alone, which was a very difficult choice.
The fat man kicked away the door panel that was blocking the way under his feet: "All in all, in short, we have to find the old madman first, since it is a fake village, what the little ghost said is a lie, we have to catch the two of them, and we can decide the next step." ”
As soon as I was reminded by the fat man, I remembered the little ghost who escaped from the fat man's hands, and the tone of the little cub's speech at that time was really strange when I think about it now, but I was in my early teens, and I lived in the mountains for two years, whether it was logic or tone, it didn't seem like he could have, it seemed that we were still too negligent at the time.
The fat man was a little annoyed when he said it, the little cub should have been tied with a rope at that time, and the old madman's sudden attack may be the news of the past passed by the little cub, otherwise how could he be prepared in the alley so early in advance.
The rest of the road was as we thought, very winding and difficult, but the structure of the house was the same, which was difficult to tell from the outside, but as soon as the door opened and saw the empty stone floor inside, it was already understood.
There is still only one lane, the structure is very messy, and there are forks, but there is no way to go after a few steps. The location where the old madman attacked us was on both sides of the main road, where we have not been able to find a way into, and there may have been hidden passages, which were designed earlier to be safe to escape at any time.
Halfway through, the cliff above us covered almost all of the sky, and there wasn't much sky in the alley, so we couldn't see the sky anymore, and the light could only shine in from the side.
There's nothing special in the laneway, so I had to turn my attention to the overhead, the white cliff rock is magnificent, and the Huashan Dangerous Road is nothing more than that.
But something unusual soon appeared, the cliff was whitish and not abrupt, and there were several cypress trees scattered all over the cracks, some of which stretched almost the entire trunk into the air.
But the location of the cypress was not immediate, I saw that several trees were growing almost horizontally, but the place where the roots of the cypress were entwined was pitch black, as if the cypress was growing in a cave exposed outside the cliff wall.
I've been keeping an eye on the top of my head, and I've tripped over the irregular tiles on the ground a few times, the tiles are clean, but the top is rough and uneven, not like a perennial walker. When the fat man saw me like this, he scolded casually: "After a few drinks, Dao'er won't leave." ”
I don't have a good eye, especially when I look at the large white rocks like the cliffs, I can't focus at all, and the light is dark, so I can't see the places where the cliffs and cypresses grow clearly.
The fat man was in a hurry to catch the old madman, and he didn't have time to talk to me, but he still went to see the cliff at my forced request. But when he fixed his eyes for a long time, he also shook his head and didn't know what those places were.
The fat man was unusually this time, although he didn't see the specifics clearly. But he didn't explode foul language, he was already suspicious of those places. It's just that it's too far away to be seen with the naked eye.
The abnormal movements of the two of us caused the others to probe one after another. One of the people in the team looked at it for a moment, then raised his arm inexplicably. Before we could ask, he pulled out a cylinder from his waist.
I looked at it and saw that it was a telescope, but after a closer look, I realized that it was not, it was a weapon sight that could be assembled and disassembled at any time. You don't have to think about it to know that it is on the folding submachine gun, because the space here is small, and the high-powered sights are not very useful, and they still occupy space, so he removed them when he entered the alley.
The person with the high-powered sight looked up the cliff for a while, and I saw that his face had changed, and his face twitched a few times, and when he was about to open his mouth to come to the telescope to take a look, his whole body started from his head, and it was a tremor.
Then the man collapsed and sat down on the ground, and before we could react, we hurried to help him when he fell. This man's whole body was already soft, although he was a big muscle, but when he touched his arm, he didn't have any strength, and his body was still shaking like cramps.
The fat man glanced at the person, looked at the cliff again, and without knowing what the situation was, he beckoned to the people on the side and said, "This brother has epilepsy?" What can be done to cure epilepsy? ”
Somehow, no one answered the fat man's ridicule. Then several people immediately smoothed the person who fell to the ground and rubbed his muscles. When he passed the stage of panting, someone asked him softly, "What's wrong?" ”
The person who fell and trembled did not relieve much, and his body still twitched suddenly every few seconds, this state is indeed very similar to epilepsy, but looking at this person, his face is blue, and he does not foam at the mouth, it is indeed not like that sudden disease.
One of them helped him, and the other kept getting along and handed over the kettle, but he also shook his head and didn't drink. After waiting for a long time, a few of us were anxious, and only then did he make a muffled sound.
"Hell, there's a ghost up there, and that little ghost is up there." The language of these words was indistinct, and it took a long time to shout such a sentence from his mouth.
The fat man turned his head and looked at the cliff again, and with a sigh, he said, "Ghost? What the hell, what the hell are you dreaming about? ”
"Really, it's the little cub at the entrance of the village. There's a cave up there, and he's holding a mask in his hand and smiling at it. Without saying a word, the man was almost hysterical, and the voice he made did not sound like a human voice.
The fat man wondered, and I was also strange, my first reaction was to look at the old generation, because the mask seemed to be the one he had been holding, but when I looked at him, I didn't see anything else in the old generation's hands, and I don't remember when he threw the mask away.
I don't believe it, but looking at this person's words, it really doesn't look like a fake. I wanted to pick up the high-powered sight and see it clearly, but in a blink of an eye, the fat man had taken it away and aimed at the cliff.
I turned to the other two men with the same standard equipment, but they spread their hands like me, as if they didn't have anything with them, and I could only look at the fat man observing the rock wall and wait for him to explain.
The high-powered sight swept on the cliff several times, and the person who was frightened was already angry, I don't know what he was afraid of, in fact, I still felt that even if what he said was true, the other party would not be able to kill you for a while, not to mention that several of our big men were there. The fat man is still a master who can pinch the ghost to death, are you afraid? There's no need for that.
Before I could figure it out, my wrist tightened. At first glance, he was pinched by the fat man. This guy didn't have a heavy hand, and in just a few seconds, I could already see the white marks spreading.
It was only after he threw it that he took down the high-powered sight that temporarily served as a telescope. At this time, the fat man was already a bead of sweat, it was not hot here, it was still a little cold, I saw this, turned my head to look at the cliff, and my heart was bottomless.
"How...... What's wrong. "I opened my mouth, I almost didn't catch my breath, the fat man didn't speak for a long time, and my hunch was not very good.
After I asked, the fat man still didn't explain, but handed me the telescope, and pointed to the largest cypress on the cliff wall, waved it, and let me see it myself.
I took the binoculars, took a deep breath, thought about the sight of the masked imp waving to me, and then turned the direction of the telescope to the cypress on the mountain wall. This sight had no problems as a telescope and did not seem to be suitable as an accessory for a submachine gun. What I saw through this object was very clear, but with a slight adjustment, the scene behind the mountain wall and cypress was completely visible to my eyes.
