Chapter 7: The Face of the Cave

The hole was so big that the two of us didn't feel the slightest cramped when we bent over and walked.

"This thing can't really be a youkai, right?" I looked at the hard stone walls around me, and my nose was filled with an indescribable stench. Ordinary felines love to be clean, why does this thing smell like this?

"You say the hole is too big?" Liu Dongxi asked rhetorically in the back, and continued to take care of himself, "I think it may have caused the collapse when it was active in the cave, you look at that place." ”

Liu Dongxi stretched out his hand and pointed to a place, where there was a lot of sand and soil stuck to the gap between the two rocks.

"Not about that!" I explained, "I mean, how can this be such a stinky ......?"

"Stinky?" Liu Dongxi shrugged his nose and was shocked. "It's bad, it can't be rotten meat!"

I saw that he was so obsessed with meat that I didn't talk to him at all, and walked forward.

The hole of this beast is generally not straight, it is rare to walk twenty or thirty steps like this hole without turning a corner, but this is also normal, the feline is not to make its own nest, it is all with ready-made caves, commercial houses, always not everywhere to the heart.

The more you walked inside, the stronger the smell became, and finally a corner appeared in front of you. I picked up a rock and threw it at it, and when there was no movement, I half-crouched and walked inside. When I turned my head around, I felt a pang in my heart!

A white face was facing my face, and I took a step forward and came across it.

In the darkness, the face of this person in the circle of light is particularly terrifying! I screamed, my flashlight slamming into my face, forgetting that I was in a narrow hole, and jerked backwards.

His head hit the top of the cave all of a sudden, and Liu was caught off guard, and I also pretended to be a heel. There was a Venus in front of me, and I reached out to pull the sword elbow but hit the wall of the cave and couldn't pull it out, and my heart fell backwards and kicked it on my heels.

This fall was extremely fast, and it was also a very correct reaction. That man's face eats my heel, and it is indispensable to end up with a broken nose and a cracked head.

But a huge force of shock came from my heel, almost breaking my ankle! I had completely calmed down by this time, and I said badly, and the short gun on my leg was quickly pulled out, and the flashlight at the muzzle of the gun shone along my leg in front of me.

That face had taken me a kick and it hadn't changed at all, still lying there coldly.

"What's going on?" Liu Dongxi's question rang in my ears at this time.

I endured the sharp pain in the soles of my head and feet, and snorted, "There's someone up ahead!" ”

"People!" Liu Dongxi asked rhetorically, and the shock was overflowing, "How can there be people in this place?" ”

Between the questions and answers, the man's face did not change in the slightest, except that a piece of his nose was missing. I didn't answer Liu Shi, and the lamp in my hand shook.

A glimmer of reflection hit my eyes, and I was stunned and felt that something was wrong. How can there be such a glow on such a white face? Either this nose is studded with a diamond, or this face is painted in stone!

"Brother An! Si'an! Liu Shifu didn't react when he saw me, and dragged me from behind.

"I'm fine!" Reaching out and swinging back, I sat up slowly, "There's a painting in front!" ”

"Painting?" Liu Dongxi was stunned, "How can there be paintings in this place?" ”

I didn't answer him, but moved over to look at the painting.

To be precise, this is not a painting, the surface of the face is convex and concave, and it is a relief. And there was no paint on the surface, like a piece of jade embedded in the dark rock wall, and I kicked off a small piece of the nose, and a section of the crystal appeared at the fracture, and it was its reflection that made me see that this face was wrong.

Turning the corner, the space was much larger, and Liu Dongxi squeezed over from behind, leaned over to me, stretched out his hand and touched the face, and was amazed.

"This is jade?" I picked up the small piece I kicked off from the ground and twisted it in my hand.

"It's not jade, it's frozen stone!" Liu Shixi reached out and picked at the edge of the man's head, as if he wanted to pull it off.

"Frozen stone? Valuable? "I hadn't heard of this, so I asked.

"Does Shoushan Shi know? Does Qingtian Shi know? Changhua ......"

"Bloodstone?" I don't know the first two, but I know that when I was watching TV before, I saw a finger-sized chapter material sold for a house for money, and Xiao Kan has never forgotten it.

"It's not that valuable, it's not a thing, but it's all frozen stone." Liu Dongxi continued to pick stones, "This texture is very good, it can be used as chapter material, and it is slightly more valuable." ”

"It's worthless, what are you picking it for?" I know that although the money playthings have lost their value in these last days, for a veteran tomb robber, the pursuit of these things has long been part of the instinct. But since this thing is not valuable, what is Liu Shifu busy doing here.

"I'd like to see if this thing is inlaid or if it's naturally grown in it." Liu Dongxi said.

"Growing in there?" I'm a little puzzled, this human head has a distinct shape, a square forehead and wide eyes, but the eyes are empty, and a snake hair is knotted to the side, there is no superfluous place, naturally generated, how can it be so good?

Liu didn't speak, the flashlight halo turned, and the snake hair of the human head shone past, winding over there, and the waves were suddenly curved, as if it was a moist white.

"Stone veins!" Liu Dongxi snorted.

"What do you mean?" I understood, but subconsciously asked again.

"These things are the best of the rocks, and according to feng shui theory, they grow along the veins of the rocks, and this is how the saying of the mineral veins and jade veins comes from." Liu Dongxi explained.

"This head ......"

Liu Dongxi praised: "Ingenious, if you can cut off the surrounding stones, even if you kick off your nose, you can sell it for a big price!" ”

With that, he stood up, touched the stone vein, and walked in.

I stood up and followed, and the front was very deep, and the white frozen stones were all over a stone wall, and the drum was suddenly slippery, and I couldn't see what it was, but it was very much like a relief of the Nine Dragons Wall.

The other stone wall is very simple, and there are many pebbles on the ground, and I don't know how many years ago, this should have been a culvert where the ice water of the snow-capped mountains flowed.

Not far from us there was a crack that was not wide, and the mouth of the cave was strewn with a few bones, like the nest of the snow lynx.

Liu Dongxi squatted at the entrance of the cave and took a look inside, and shouted in surprise: "There are really rabbits inside!" ”

I didn't care about the rabbit, and when I saw that there was no danger around, I told him to walk slowly. Far from being thinned out by the expansion of the space, the stench even became stronger. This shouldn't be the taste of this snow lynx, there must be something ahead!

After walking forward for only a few dozen steps, I actually came to the end, and the top of the cave in front of me gradually became lower, and finally connected with the ground, and there was no way.

"Brother An! Don't go! Let's go back! Liu Dongxi shouted in the back.

I answered, and hurriedly walked back, wondering in my heart, this place looks clean, where does the smell come from?

Liu Dongxi took out a lot of rabbits in that hole, and all of them were frozen hard and still intact.

"This snow lynx is really an outlier, just knowing that the lynx will eat the rest of the prey and hide, I haven't heard that it will catch rabbits as reserves, this is simply a mouse!"

I finally looked around the cave, and found nothing else, so I picked up the two hares and said, "You care so much, go quickly!" ”

Of course, Liu Shishi agreed, and also brought up two, thought about it, and stuffed two more into the waistband of his trousers, turned around and returned the same way.

The hare in his hand has a faint beastly smell, which is completely different from the smell in this cave, I want to talk to Liu Shi, think about it, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, it is better to go out and say.

Outside, the bonfire had been firewood, and the lynx was hung upside down from a pine tree, skinned like a dog, and the gray-white fur was stretched between the two trees, very beautiful.

The people had been waiting for a long time, and they came over to inquire about the situation inside. I told them about it, and Liu ran to the side to clean up the hare.

Roast it slightly on the side of the fire, peel the skin and remove the intestines. A few hares were quickly put on the fire and roasted to their fragrance.

I looked at the rabbit with oil splashes, and I was hungry to death. After the baptism of canned food, I can now even eat when the preservatives are produced.

Xiao Kan sniffled beside me, "What's the smell on you?" ”

"I don't know where the smell of that hole came from!" I said to Xiao Kan.

"What does it smell like?" Liu Dongxi was not far from me, so he naturally heard it.

"Stink! You can't smell it? I asked him a question before I remembered that his nose had been burned by tomb robbing in his early years, and the smell of wine could still be distinguished, and the smell might not be so sensitive.

"I forgot you can't smell it, there is a terrible smell in that hole, and the more you go inside, the stronger it gets!" I explained to Liu Dongxi.

"Not the smell of that snow lynx?" Liu Dongxi asked.

"No, it doesn't smell that big in its nest at all! I searched elsewhere as well, but there was nothing but stones. ”

"It's weird...... Liu Dongxi handed the rabbit in his hand to Wang Dake, "Have you noticed any other paths?" ”

"I looked at it about it, but no."

At this time, Uncle Mi slowly walked over holding the coffin, "Young man, your body smells of the devil." ”

Uncle Mi's expression was very divine when he said this, and the face of the forty-year-old who was in his forties had so many wrinkles out of nowhere, and he was illuminated by the fire, and with what he said, it was a little terrifying.

I suddenly remembered his expression last night, and my heart trembled.

"What do you mean?"

Uncle Yu closed his mouth tightly and did not answer, and slowly sat back.

I felt that this person's expression and action were very different from usual, and I couldn't help but glance back at Wang Dake.

She sat so far away that she didn't even look this way.

Liu Shixi looked at my uncle's face, gestured at me, and stood up.
