Chapter 14: The Iron Box

I don't know how long I fell asleep, my mind was dark, I vaguely felt a drop of cold liquid on my face, consciousness gradually returned, I slowly opened my eyes, the sky had brightened, but the sky seemed to be white and I couldn't see anything, like a fog, then I realized that the cold liquid was the dew on the leaves, after coming back to my senses, I slowly turned over and stood up with my hands on the ground, only then did I find myself falling into a deep pit.

I remember that in the anti-Japanese years, when the ancestors ambushed the Japanese soldiers, they only dug a pit of about half a meter on the ground, and did not put anything in it, but this kind of pit should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, when I fell, there was a backpack behind me to cushion it, and I stood up and slowed down for a while before I realized that I seemed to have fallen into the trap pit dug by the hunter before, this pit is at least five meters high, two meters wide and narrow, I don't feel aggrieved when I am alone in it, because there are several animal corpses next to it, but it has become white bones, it seems that these animals are the same as me, there is no way to fall in, just wail and die, fortunately there are no lethal traps such as bamboo sticks underneath, Otherwise, I might just turn into a sugar gourd.

I took out my mobile phone and saw that it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, and there was no signal in this kind of place, I fell asleep for about eight hours, and when I put away my mobile phone, I immediately shouted: "He Feng!" Su Xi!!! "I shouted several times but no one answered, and all I could do was the distant sound of an unknown bird, and I sat down on the ground, and my glasses were still behind me when I fell into the pit. Could it be that this guy saw me fall in and didn't move, thought I was dead, and then ran away? It's fucking unreliable! is still working under Uncle Zhang, and when I go out to see if I don't sue you, then I began to worry about He Feng again, he dealt with Zongzi alone, and I don't know what happened now, but I believe that he will definitely be fine.

Looking back at the entrance of this pit, there is nothing on the wall of the pit at this height, it is bare, it is not easy to climb up, if it is not so wide, I may be able to borrow the strength of both sides to use the strength of both sides to use the strength of my childhood to climb the alley, but now it seems that there is really no way to do it without the hands and feet like ghosts.

I scolded the hunter who dug the trap in my heart, you fucking dig a trap so deep that you buried the coffin! As soon as I looked around, I found that there seemed to be something in the white bones of an animal next to me, so I squatted over curiously and reached out to pick up this thing from between the bones, which looked like a square box on the surface.

I cleaned up the clay attached to it, only to find that this is a rusty iron box, the size of a palm, but it seems that the rust is stuck, and I can't open it with force, I wiped it twice on the surface of the iron box, and found that there are carved patterns on it, similar to the carving of Taoist charms, what is this? But then look at the location where the iron box is just now, it is the location of the animal's white bone abdomen, this white bone looks like a wolf's bones, could it be that the people who came here were attacked by wolves? The iron box was devoured by a wolf?

It's not that this is not impossible, let's keep it for now, my intuition tells me that this thing must have a origin, if you can't get it right, it may be related to those coffins, He Feng should understand the meaning of this charm. Putting away the tin box I fell into despair again, now how do I get up?

I shouted twice with all my strength, but still no one responded, which made me sad, and after a while my stomach began to growl, and when I put down my backpack and took out the dry food and water I brought, I patted my head, didn't I bring a rope? I took the rope out, and after eating and drinking, I had some strength, and then I picked up a flat stone on the ground and tied it with a rope, and threw it a few times like in TV, and then threw it out of the hole with all my strength, hoping to wrap it around a certain tree, and after a few times in a row, I was a little discouraged, but on my last attempt, the rope tightened, and I was really tied, and I was overjoyed, and tied the end of the rope to the backpack, and when I could climb up, I pulled it up, this trick is really smart.

Spit two mouthfuls of saliva in the palm of my hand and began to climb, isn't it just four or five meters high, I can definitely do it, the process will not be repeated, I lack of exercise to climb this 90-degree slope by the rope is simply miserable, during which several times slipped off the hand and spit out the skin, just gritted my teeth to climb out.

As soon as I came up, I spread out on the ground and gasped, and then I quickly looked around, sure enough, it was already foggy, and the visibility was extremely low, I pulled out the backpack and carried it on my back, He Feng and the glasses were missing, what happened to these two people? I've screamed so much.

Subconsciously, I was asked to go back the way I came, and in this case, running around in the woods was definitely not the best policy, so I had to go back the way I came to see if there were any clues left by the two of them on the way.

There was a heavy fog all around, I really couldn't see the situation in the distance, I pulled out the mountain knife and held it in my hand, and slowly touched back towards the way I came, in this case I also had no sense of direction, I could only be like a headless fly, quietly groping forward, for fear that there would be some monster in the fog directly pounced.

I was so bent in the waist with the knife in my hand and a shallow foot in the misty woods, I walked for about twenty minutes without knowing the direction, and finally, in the fog ahead, I saw the familiar building, the cabin, but when I thought of the coffin inside, I was discouraged again, He Feng and the glasses didn't know where to go, and I didn't know where they would go if they continued to explore, and there was no other way now, anyway, He Feng did his hands and feet on the coffin, and the corpse inside would not cheat the corpse, The purpose of our visit is to investigate this little house, and they are no more, and I am not investigating it myself, isn't it? I consoled myself with that.

In the quiet environment around me, the hut was also quiet, and I could only hear my own heartbeat and breathing in my ears, so I emboldened myself and touched towards the hut.

Walked to the door, the probe went in to take a look, saw that there was no change in the inside and walked in with confidence, the day is not better than the night, there are many details in the case of sufficient light will be exposed, as soon as I came in, my eyes were attracted by a color under the empty coffin last night, I walked over and looked, this is like the paper pasted before, the color has changed to light yellow, only half of it is still glued to it, it will be broken when you touch it with your hand, but it seems to be painted with some runes, I suddenly felt like I had seen this kind of thing somewhere, and I patted my head, isn't this the rune paper that often appeared in zombie movies before?

But the runes on the top half are different from what you often see in movies, in addition, there seem to be a few small holes above the rune paper, and there are some dry mud in the small holes, as if they were blocked with mud after being opened, which must not have been seen at the time, but now that so long has passed, these cats have revealed their prototypes.

I took out my phone and took these pictures, these clues don't look like a good thing, it's best to take pictures, I got up to check a few other coffins, only to find that the remaining two coffins nailed to the lid did not have this phenomenon, and the coffin with a female corpse lying on one side also had these traces, weathered rune paper and strange holes, strange, why are there female corpses in the coffins with hands and feet?

Could it be that someone did these things in the first place and caused the corpse to be cheated now? But what do these details, including the coffin, have to do with ghosts? I paced back and forth in the room while thinking, and walked to the coffin where the female corpse was lying, and I accidentally glanced at it, but found that the red rope that He Feng hung on the coffin last night was actually missing.

Secretly scolded badly, as soon as I came in just now, I was attracted by the rune paper, but I forgot to look at the situation in this coffin, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, stretched out my head and looked at my heart, it was broken, sure enough, the body was gone, but I was going to die at this moment, there was movement behind me, and my back was cold, I secretly screamed that it was not good, and quickly turned around.

I almost turned my back in fright, and I saw a face at most five centimeters away from my face, a face I knew all too well, wasn't this the Lord lying in the coffin behind me? When did it appear behind me?? Didn't He Feng, this guy set things up to prevent corpses? How useless! My mind was spinning wildly, and the white eyes of this zongzi were staring at me tightly, and I was afraid that I would be able to kiss this distance a little further.

But reason tells me that I can't do this, although I look passable, but this guy is a zongzi, I slowly moved my body to the back, but the worst thing is that this zongzi also immediately followed me forward, our distance is very ambiguous, if there is really such a beautiful girl like this to me, I would have a nosebleed, but this is not a fucking person, hey!

After I came to my senses, I began to think about the corresponding method, it stands to reason that the zongzi will definitely kill when he sees a living thing, but the zongzi in front of me is just standing in front of me, if it's just like this, I'm really not worried, but now in this situation, how can I be sure that this zongzi is like a cat, catch a mouse and play half dead to eat?

I quietly moved a little to the left, and sure enough, the zongzi also moved to the left, and I couldn't help but howl in my heart: Help!
