Chapter 286: Monkey Face

The bridge is located here, and it must have been made easy to navigate. Because the bridge is not long, it is very sturdy, with wooden planks mixed with iron cables, and paved with at least three layers. Needless to say, such a bridge will be no problem even if an elephant passes by.

Standing at the head of the bridge and looking ahead, you will find that the space is still very large, and it is far from the end.

"Brother Leopard, you go back first, just wait for us at the entrance of that small cave." I called Brother Leopard over and asked him to leave some equipment.

"Mr. Lian, there is still a long way to go."

"It's okay, I don't think there will be any problems, let's go back first." I patted Brother Leopard and told him to go first.

I don't feel like I can deal with all the dangers that may occur, but the matter of Brother Leopard that Mu Qiang told me made me feel a little.

There are some things that you can't really experience if you don't experience them. I am a person who has not had a mother since I was a child, and I know deeply what it is like for a child to lose his mother's love since childhood. Brother Leopard is still messing around in the ancient industry, just to raise his children, and I don't want his children to lose their mothers and fathers.

Looking at the back of Brother Leopard walking away, I suddenly felt a little proud, and I felt that my humanity seemed to be sublimated.

"Old Mu, look at this bridge." I stood at the head of the bridge, pointed to the deck, which was as strong as steel and iron beams, and said, "This bridge is so strong, it is likely that very heavy things often pass through here." ”

"That's right."

The two of us were ready to walk forward and cross the six- or seven-meter-long bridge. The miner's lamp left by Brother Leopard was worn on his head, as long as his head moved, the light moved, and before he had time to step on the bridge deck, I accidentally found that there was a big net hanging on one side of the bridge.

Strictly speaking, it was not a net for fishing, but a net made of a rope as thick as a finger, and the mesh was at least twenty centimeters wide. The ropes that make the nets are specially treated to make them waterproof and resistant to corrosion, and the wide nets hang down from under the bridge and down into the gently flowing water below.

I picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the water, but I couldn't tell how deep it was.

I didn't quite believe that the thick net hanging from the bridge was used for fishing, and suddenly it seemed that this net was hanging here, and it didn't bother us with anything. However, in the course of my expeditions, I have developed a habit of clarifying all the things that seem suspicious if possible, and if they pass in such a vague way, then the doubts that have been missed are likely to kill us.

I squatted down and took a closer look, this place, it is estimated that no one has been here for many years, and the entrance to the cave is so strong that it is impossible for anyone to get in. In other words, this net has been hanging here for many years.

As I looked closely, I noticed that there were black things hanging on the net. The thing was small, probably smaller than my fist, covered in mesh. A rough count puts it at twenty or thirty.

Mu Qiang took off the buckle from his waist, hooked the mesh, and then pulled it this way, wanting to see what those black things were.

As soon as we both pulled hard, the net stretched in this direction. Immediately after, a burst of dangdang voices came from the Internet. The sound startled both of us and we quickly stopped all movements.

However, I soon became aware of the source of the sound, which came from something black on the Internet.

I suddenly felt that this dangdang sound was a bit like the sound of a camel bell. The last time we went to the Poplar River, we stayed in Daya for two days, and the livestock market in Daya was very large, and some places were piled up with some damaged saddles and camel bells and other debris, and the broken or rusty camel bells made this kind of astringent and muffled sound.

I suddenly understood that the black things hanging on this net were bells one by one.

Mu Qiang and I worked together to pull the net towards this side, and then vigorously picked a black thing down. I guessed right, this thing is a bell.

Judging by the rust, it was a copper bell, and because I was so frightened by the immortal bronze that my head felt like it was buzzing when I saw the rusty bronze.

However, I feel that this bell is just an ordinary copper bell. There can't be so many immortal bronzes in the world.

The copper bell has undergone some maintenance, and it has been brushed with a layer of rust-proof and waterproof oil from the inside out, but after too long, the bell is still rusty, so it will make that obscure dangdang sound.

I wondered, what are you doing with twenty or thirty bells hanging on this web?

Mu Qiang and I turned this bell over and over many times, scraped off the rust, and didn't see any valuable clues, it was just an ordinary bell.

After a while, my mind started to come alive. I realized that these bells hanging on the net seem to play a warning role, now the bells are so rusty, when Mu Qiang and I pull the rope net, the bells will still ring, if the bells are relatively intact and not rusty, then when this net is moved, it is estimated that twenty or thirty bells will ring together.

"Lao Mu, will there be something in the water?" I involuntarily lowered my head and looked at the water under the bridge, I didn't know how deep the water was, I could only see the water flowing slowly.

"What do you mean........" Mu Qiang also looked at the net hanging into the water: "There is something passing in the water, and if it touches this net, it will make the bell ring?" ”

"I feel so." I believe in my own judgment, the smooth road I just walked over already shows that this place has been constantly visited in the past, and it is clear that whether you are walking from the outside to the inside or back from the inside, you have to pass by this bridge.

If something lingers in the water, or stays near the bridge, it will inevitably touch the net hanging in the water, and when the net moves, at least some of the twenty or thirty bells hanging on the net will ring. As soon as the bell rings, the people on the shore know that there is something in the water.

"As far as I can see, even if there's something in there, it's not going to be huge." Mu Qiang visually measured the width of the slow dark river under the bridge: "The water area is limited, and there are things growing in the water, so the size is big." ”

I discussed with Mu Qiang for a while, and we couldn't possibly know what was in the water. But many situations are obvious, if the things in the water are harmless to people and animals, they pass through here, and they will not make a special net for warning, and hang twenty or thirty bells. Since such a simple alarm system has been made, it shows that the things in the water are dangerous.

"Let's go straight over, the bridge is so big, it's a few steps away." Mu Qiang didn't want to stay here for too long, there was still a lot of space in front of him, if he walked a few steps like this, he wouldn't know what year and month he would have to go.

I'm not very sure, this net, and those bells, are actually the experience summed up by people who have been active here before.

But Mu Qiang's consideration is also reasonable, the two of us, we can't take care of the front and back.

Mu Qiang walked in front, I followed, six or seven meters long bridge, can indeed be crossed in a few steps. Just as Mu Qiang had just crossed the bridge, several bells on the net shook obviously, making a sound like a jam.

At this time, I was standing in the middle of the bridge, thinking that I couldn't be so unlucky. But the ringing of the bell came so timely that I couldn't help but stretch out my head to look under the bridge.

The light of the miner's lamp is a little different from the light of the flashlight, and when it hits a few meters away, the light of the flashlight will spread relatively largely, while the halo of the miner's lamp will not spread too much. The moment the straight light shone down, I saw a face on the surface of the water against the net.

A face floating on the water, the face of a monkey.

I could see it clearly, and my head was immediately bigger. From the time I was involved in this big incident, the monkey has always been like a nightmare, lingering, so to speak, in my mind, I would rather be caught by someone like Zhao Sanyuan than touch a monkey.

I wondered if I was mistaken, but under the light, the monkey's face kept floating on the water, as if it was a few meters away, confronting me to the death.

I didn't have time to think about anything, so I took two steps and scurried from the middle of the bridge to the opposite side. When I ran to Mu Qiang's side, I immediately turned my head to look at the water, but the face was gone. Where the face disappears, there is a faint circle of rippling water.

"Mr. Lian, what did you find?"

"Monkey, a monkey's face." I felt very empty, and even though the temperature around me was low, a layer of sweat broke out on my forehead.

Mu Qiang paused for a moment, and then looked towards the water. The surface of the water returned to calm, with only the occasional gentle rattling of the slow current, and nothing but water could be seen.

"Mr. Lian, the light here is not very good, is it? Is it wrong? Mu Qiang pointed to the water and said, "If you really see a monkey, you shouldn't see it in the water." ”

"You don't understand."

I didn't know how to explain to Mu Qiang for a while, and it was impossible for him to know what role the monkey played in this incident without experiencing my experience. Since I was involved in this incident, the image of monkeys in my mind has completely changed.

I think the monkey is the most terrifying animal in the world, and there is no one.

While........

Just when Mu Qiang and I looked at each other, the net seemed to have been touched by something in the water, and several bells on the net made a dull sound again. My head turned back and forth, looking for the water with the light of the miner's lamp, and Mu Qiang also moved the light of the flashlight back and forth.

"Do you see anything?" My heart was pounding, and I could really feel that there might be a monkey hiding beneath the water.

"Mr. Lian, don't say face to face like this when you speak, I was illuminated by a miner's lamp, like I was blind." Mu Qiang hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands: "I can't see anything." ”

I quickly turned my head, Mu Qiang had just let go of his hand covering his eyes, and suddenly a ball of something flew up from the water a few meters below.

The mass was so small that we couldn't see what it was, so we immediately reflexively ducked away. As soon as the mass flew to shore, it landed straight down, snapped, and landed right at my feet.
