Chapter 81: The Corpse Pit
My face is not my own, and I feel that every expression I make is strange, like a person with a long beard, when he is torn about whether to put his beard in the quilt or outside the quilt when he sleeps, then he must have insomnia, he must not remember how he usually sleeps.
It's like breathing, when you deliberately try to feel it, it's not smooth.
I glanced at Lao Huang again, his expression was calm, I was still uncomfortable, Lao Huang shouldn't be like this.
We smeared on the insect medicine and carried the luggage, Brother Shen still walked in front, I have already walked this way, and now I am not in the mood for a little curiosity.
I don't know why those cursers say that I'm in league with them, we're basically in danger, and the people who can hurt Brother Shen are as easy as killing me as killing chickens.
Brother Shen didn't believe me, but he still let me hold the jade, did he want me to use it as a shield? I knew I was on the side of justice, but he didn't know how he was so relieved.
What was there in me that he should be suspicious of? I couldn't figure it out, even if he didn't know what I was going through, he should know my purpose.
My mind was not on the road at all, I was hung by stalagmites several times, and the last time I hit my head, and Lao Huang behind me was defenseless and directly hit me.
He finally couldn't help it: "You don't want to die absentmindedly? ”
His voice was the same as usual, but I was a little happy, I didn't answer, I concentrated and began to move forward, the narrow cave gradually became open, we walked through many forks in the road, the road is so long, I feel that I am probably not in the territory of Guizhou.
I felt like I had walked for four or five hours, and I still didn't see the people who had cast the curse, but the water under my feet was getting faster and deeper, and it was already half of my calf.
There is a noticeable change in stalagmites and pillars here, they are becoming smaller and thinner, I don't know what that means.
I turned my head to look at the walls and the ceiling of the cave, they were soaked by the water all the year round and there was no sign of it, the cave was very old, I felt that it must have been walked on before, it was not a natural place, it had been trimmed and excavated.
It's just that these traces have long since disappeared under the erosion of the current, and I can feel the changes in the stalagmites, but I can't be sure.
Brother Shen's pace was slowing down, and Lao Huang was very impatient: "Where are those people?" ”
"Come on, take a break." Brother Shen's voice changed slightly, and he didn't know if it would be a blessing or a curse to take us there.
We found a place with a slower flow of water to rest, the stalagmites on the edge of the cave were very sharp, we couldn't sit down, we could only stand against the wall of the cave for a while, the soles of my feet were sore and itchy, and I kept changing positions.
We ate casually, but I couldn't eat at all, and I was nervous at the thought of the possible conflict that would follow, and I imagined countless scenarios along the way, and my heart was as heavy as a mountain weighing on me.
The water under my feet became deeper and deeper until it submerged my calves, and the speed of the water became faster, and I struggled to walk.
The hiking boots could no longer block the water, and the blood and sweat under my feet were washed down by the water, and the cold was very comfortable, but the shoes were filled with water, and it was difficult to lift my feet.
I heard a strange "rumbling" sound, which seemed to be far away from us, it was dark underground, and it was probably raining outside again.
I'm getting more and more worried, if it rains, the water will rise, and our road is already difficult to walk, but hopefully the rain will stop soon.
The "rumble" sound became louder and louder, and the water under my feet made it difficult for me to stand, the water vapor was very heavy, and the air was filled with a layer of mist, and everything in front of me became slightly distorted.
The sultry air became fresh, there must have been an open-air exit nearby, we turned a few more corners, and my eyes instantly became extremely bright, I was used to the darkness, and suddenly I saw such a bright light and my eyes narrowed unconsciously.
There was an exit in front, but the angle we were standing at was a little off, I could only see a bright light, the sound of "rumbling" became very loud, the water flow under my feet was chaotic, rolling up countless small whirlpools, I understood, there was a waterfall in front.
The impact of the water became very strong, and the rocks under our feet were so smooth that we had to pull each other's clothes so that we wouldn't be washed over.
We walked out with difficulty, and suddenly it became clear that there was a large sinkhole outside, with a diameter of more than ten meters and a depth of tens of meters, and we were standing at the bottom of the pit.
A very wide waterfall occupied almost half of the cave wall, and the swift water fell from the sky like a silver horse, and the water crashed against the rocks with a thunderous sound, and the splashing mist soaked us in an instant.
We walked a few more steps, and the whole sinkhole was exposed, and I was startled to see that the bottom of the sinkhole, the other side of the waterfall, where no water flowed, was full of dense corpses.
The long-term impact of the waterfall washed the rocks below out of the deep ravine, and the water flowed very fast, and it turned in an arc along the edge of the cave, rushing towards us on the lower ground, but the side without the waterfall was dry, and I would have been happy to stand without the corpses.
"It's all young women." Brother Shen spoke.
Not only the young women, but also all ethnic minorities, I don't know how many people died here, their bodies were piled up here in layers, the thickest place was a meter, the corpses were very chaotic, I saw that their bones were clearly deformed, they should have been thrown from the top of the sinkhole.
The corpses smelled unpleasant, the top ones were very new, the clothes were still bright, and the bottom ones had turned into white bones, some of which had been soaked in water and had turned yellow, and they were connected to the rocks below, and became part of the cave like freshly excavated fossils.
The strange thing is that there are so many corpses but there is no shadow of flies and insects, and the dense corpses make my whole body numb, I try not to look at it, but Lao Huang came up.
"Daze, look at their eyes." Lao Huang screamed.
I took a few steps closer and looked slightly sideways, and at a glance I saw that the female corpse closest to me was with her eyes open, one of her eyeballs was blood-red, and a dark red vertical pupil was ghostly.
It's exactly the same as the female corpse we saw at the entrance of the cave!
I was taken aback, and I lifted my foot and stepped back, the female corpse must have been washed away from here, but the hole was intricate, and I don't know how many places she had tossed and turned before she got stuck there.
What the hell is this place!
Seeing the sky and the waterfall, I was originally in a happy mood, but now I saw so many strange corpses, and the feeling of uneasiness immediately hit, I resisted the fear and leaned in again, and took a closer look, those few female corpses that were not too heavily decomposed were like this.
There is something in the eyes of the female corpse, but I didn't see the truth when I was kicked away by Brother God, and now that there are so many corpses here, I should always know what it is.
But I retreated again, it must not be a good thing, if it has nothing to do with jade, I shouldn't care about it.
I feel very sad in my heart, there are so many corpses, God knows how many people have died in them, and how many people have been washed away by the water.
This is certainly not normal, there is no one living here at all, why do these girls die here en masse, looking at their appearance, it seems that they have been there for a long time, and the latest corpses are only a few weeks.
It was impossible for them to run and kill themselves, and the way they looked at their eyeballs must have died abnormally, and I silently retreated and did not dare to look at it again, I was afraid that the strange thing would come out of their eyes again.
Lao Huang was very curious, and kept muttering "pity" in his mouth, I took a few steps forward and pulled him back, I didn't want to care about anything I couldn't care about.
"The Gu under the grass ghost woman of Hei Yi, if you get too close, you may be able to drill into you."
A flamboyant and flirtatious voice came to my ears, the pitch was very high, and as soon as I turned my head, I saw a man in a black leotard coming out from behind the waterfall opposite, he was looking at me and smiling, the corners of his mouth curled up and looked cheap.
I was taken aback and hurriedly stepped back, this man was tall and thin, very young, barely handsome, but I didn't know him, I just felt that his voice was a little familiar.
He seemed disappointed when he saw me retreating, but the smile on his face remained undiminished: "This is what I forgot?" Heartless, I've saved you a few times. ”
I froze, staring blankly at his face, and I remembered, no wonder the voice was so familiar, and I didn't even react to such obvious features.
"Ah, Ah Chuan?" I tentatively spoke, my voice muffled.
"I finally remembered, I'm glad you're still alive, little, rookie, bird."
His voice was very cheap, but I didn't even have the idea of rebuttal, I was completely confused, I didn't expect to see him here.
I quickly turned my head to look at Brother Shen, his expression was very cold, his eyes were full of hostility, as if he would pounce on him at any moment and tear Ah Chuan apart.
My mind is blank, could it be that he is the one who cursed the god brother?
I never imagined that it would be Ah Chuan, he obviously helped me, he gave me the jade, he knew my father, how could he be a curse!
My spine was cold, I couldn't guess what twists and turns were there, could it be that my father had been kept in the dark by him, and he didn't know that he was the culprit?
But he really helped me, how could the curse man help me?
A wave of anger instantly swept through my mind, and I looked at his flamboyant smile and blurted out: "You told Brother God that I was with you?" /fart! When did I join you, you lied to me all along! ”
"Ouch, it's so angry when you first met? I saved you, why aren't you in the same group? And ......" he laughed, raising his wrist.
I finally understood why Brother Shen was suspicious of me, and I glanced at Ah Chuan's wrist, and his armor lay there quietly, the same as mine.
This is the most powerful evidence, no wonder Brother Shen would believe him, I have bitterness in my heart, I can't wash it away, just a few words I just said to Ah Chuan, it is enough to be labeled as a complicity.
