Chapter 45: Night Howl
We pitched our tent on the spot and fixed it with a rope around it, fearing that there would be strong winds at night, and the nails in our tent were smashed very deeply.
Still according to the old rules, we took turns to sentry, I stood at the second post, and when the seventh master called me up to change the sentry, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
"Be smart, this place is very ghostly." After the seventh master said a word to me, he went into the tent to rest.
Now the temperature has dropped below freezing, I wrapped in an old-fashioned military coat, holding a gun and standing outside the tent, the wind on the Gobi Desert with a whistle blowing, the wind is like a knife, blowing my face painfully, I walked a few steps forward, my back against the stone monument, so that I can feel better.
Then I heard the roar of a beast in the distance, not loud, but it sounded miserable, like a wolf's howl, like a lion's scream, and I couldn't tell what it was, and I was careful not to let up my guard at all.
This howl did not stop intermittently until I woke the tiger and changed the whistle, this howl still continued, and I deduced from my experience that if it was a beast, the howl would not have lasted so long, and I deduced that they should be a litter of wild beasts, and if that was the case, I am afraid that we would have a lot of trouble after we entered.
Huzi rubbed his eyes, wiped the hazi on his mouth, and said, "Why did you come to my sentry so soon?" ”
I said, "You fucking poor, be careful, this place is not safe." "After saying that, I got into the tent and fell asleep, not to mention how well I slept this night, and slept until dawn, and when I got up, Wang Chuyi and they were already packing up their equipment.
While packing up my equipment, I asked Wang Chuyi next to me, "Did you hear that cry last night?" ”
Wang Chuyi frowned, nodded and said, "You are a night howl." After that, he shook his head again, and said to himself, "This night howl shouldn't appear on the Gobi Desert?" Aren't they usually in the mountains? ”
When I asked her what a night howl was, she told me only that it was a very aggressive beast that she had never seen before.
We packed up our gear, and while the sky was bright and the temperature had not yet risen, we crossed the stone monument and entered this so-called forbidden area of life.
After walking five or six kilometers, some vegetation began to appear in the Gobi Desert here, but most of them have died, and you can see the bones of some animals everywhere, the larger ones are cattle and sheep, and the smaller ones are basically the bones of some birds.
Huzi muttered as he walked, "Damn, it's really a forbidden area of life, this bird can't fucking fly over." As he spoke, he kicked the skeleton of a bird beside him apart.
Wang Chu raised his glasses, looked at them, and then reminded us: "Be careful! There's something ahead! ”
Huzi and I also took out the binoculars and looked ahead, more than a kilometer away from us, there was an old-fashioned jeep, and there was a person sitting in the driver and co-pilot seats, but now it has become two skeletons, and the flesh on the body has either been corroded and cleaned, or it has been eaten by something, anyway, these two skeletons are very white, and it seems that they have been dead for some time.
After walking in, I found that there were three shotguns behind the two people, and it seemed that they were here to poach, but they didn't know why they died here.
The seventh master checked the jeep, the oil in the tank had already evaporated, and there was almost nothing to use, so he beckoned us to leave.
At this time, I found that the front windshield of the car seemed to have been shattered by something, and the scars on the two skeletons caught my attention, the skeleton in the passenger seat on the right, and there were three wounds on the left chest that were very conspicuous, each wound was about two centimeters apart, and his ribs were cut with a brush, and the fracture continued from the second rib to the last, as if someone had used a knife to start from under his shoulder and split him with a brush.
I was a little puzzled, if it was really cut by someone, a wound like this would definitely kill with one knife, there was no need to cut three times in a row, and the interval between these three wounds was just right! I measured it with my hand, and a terrible thought crept into my head, could it be that he had been scratched by the claws of some beast of prey? This beast only has three fingers?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly went to check the skeleton in the driving position, and found that his wound was even more strange, where the heart of his left chest was located, several bones were missing, forming a circular wound surface.
At this time, the seventh master walked over, looked up at me, and said, "Don't look at it, this guy should have been directly dug out of his heart by something!" ”
Hearing the seventh master say this, I had a very bad premonition in my heart, the structure of the human body is actually very strong, especially the bones, the degree of hardness is very high, it can penetrate the muscle layer and crush the bones, and finally dig out the human heart, how much force does it take? What happened to these two buddies?
Along the way, I walked forward with this apprehension, and the Seventh Master kept urging us to speed up our pace and try to reach the location of the mine on the map before dark.
The closer I got to the location of the mine on the map, the more vegetation there was, and the denser the bones of the animals became, looking at the torn bones of a cow not far away, I was almost sure that there was a large beast here, with enough strength to tear a cow, and the more frightened I became, and I couldn't help but speed up my pace, and finally arrived at the sealed mine before dark.
The Seventh Master looked at the surrounding environment and said, "This mine cave was blown up, and if you want to enter from here, it's basically impossible, so we have to steal the hole." After speaking, he looked at Wang Chuyi, and then said, "You are the captain of the touching gold, and you are the apprentice of the ghost-faced Yama, the matter of dividing the gold and determining the acupoint will be handed over to you, after finding the location, I will lay the shovel." ”
Wang Chu nodded, and looked at the raised rocky mountains around him, which were not high, and the whole looked like a woman lying on her side.
Wang Chuyi frowned and said, "This is not a feng shui acupuncture point at all, the trend of the mountain range is very good, but unfortunately there is no water, and the general ancient tombs are built against the backs of mountains and water, but now this ...... It seems to ......"
At this time, Huzi shouted not far away, "This way, come here and have a look." ”
We ran over to take a look, found a very low-lying area, the sand and gravel in it has dried up, the area is about half a football field the size, it is obviously a dry lake, carefully look at the trend of this lake, the source should be the north of the main peak of this mountain range, so we began to set off towards the main peak, to a relatively flat place, Wang Chuyi stopped, said, "It should be here, it will not be wrong." ”
The Seventh Master nodded, took out his gossip ancient pattern compass and looked at it, gave Wang Chuyi a thumbs up, and said, "This kung fu of touching the Jin Lieutenant and dividing the Jin Ding acupoint is really amazing." ”
