Chapter 54: Bloody Handprints
"Follow the footprints." Zhuo Yifan looked at the marks on the ground and walked forward quickly.
The mouse and I followed closely behind him, and after half an hour, the mouse pointed to the mud footprints in the corridor and muttered, "These footprints seem to be starting to mess up." ”
I could see that it had suddenly turned into chaos, and they must have encountered some sudden situation in this place at that time.
"Hey, blood!" The mouse's flashlight shone on the ground, and his expression changed instantly.
Just about a meter away from us, there were large patches of blood, which were mixed with mud footprints.
However, because the blood had dried, I didn't smell the raw blood that made me restless, except for the stench.
"Eh, these people have broken brains? This is wrong, why don't you run back and go inside? The rat stared at the ground in bewilderment.
These footprints are all in and out.
Zhuo Yifan frowned, staring at the footprints and thinking, and the footsteps of the three of us also stopped because of the bloodstains.
"Is it possible that they didn't have a choice at that time, but to move forward?" I stared at the footprints for a moment and asked.
As a result, as soon as these words came out, both the mouse and Zhuo Yifan couldn't help frowning.
Although there is no mention of any gods and ghosts in my words, it also shows that the villagers may have encountered some danger here at that time.
It's just that the old lady hasn't talked about this paragraph?
"Squeak, squeak."
I was a little puzzled, and as I was thinking about it, the squeaky cry from before sounded again, and the sound came from the stone chamber where the burial goods were placed where we had come before, and the sound was very loud to hear at least dozens of them.
The sound of squeaking was interspersed with squeaks, and it was not obvious to hear, but the three of us could already hear it very clearly, especially the mouse.
"Run, they're coming!" The mouse shouted, and ran straight forward.
Zhuo Yifan shouted at the mouse: "Wait! Don't run away! ”
After saying that, he also dragged me all the way forward, but the rustling sound behind me kept following, and my heartbeat instantly intensified, and I felt that I was going to be bitten by those big rats beyond recognition in the next second.
The flashlight in Zhuo Yifan's hand kept shaking, and the rat that was originally in front of us had disappeared without a trace.
"Damn! This dead rat is fast enough. Zhuo Yifan scolded breathlessly.
"Don't, don't, don't talk, it's time to catch your breath." I reminded Zhuo Yifan, because those things behind us didn't seem to give up the chase and followed us closely.
And we were chased by them all the way, running head to head in the road for more than half an hour, and finally there was suddenly no road ahead, Zhuo Yifan was frightened and immediately closed his feet, I squinted and looked, it was not that there was no road, but there was a downward stone step on the ground in front of me, this stone step was the same width as the road, and it was downward, so I glanced at it coldly, and thought there was no road.
"Stone steps?" I shouted.
Zhuo Yifan shone the flashlight at the bottom, and found that it was indeed a stone step, so he pulled me down the stone step quickly.
The stone steps were very steep, almost 90 degrees, which made me worry about rats in my heart.
I don't know if he saw it, so he shouldn't just roll down from here, right?
"Fat Jiu, you slow down, those rats, it seems that they haven't followed anymore." Zhuo Yifan opened his mouth to remind me, and raised his flashlight to shine at the mouth of the stone steps where we had just come down.
I also stopped, looked back, and looked in that direction, and my back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
At the mouth of the stone steps, a group of fat rats were looking at us with their round eyes, but luckily they didn't mean to come down.
"This must be the reason why the villagers continued to walk forward after discovering that there was danger." Looking at these big rats, I came to a conclusion.
Zhuo Yifan shone the beam of the flashlight at the bottom of the stone steps, because the stone steps are vertically downward, so I can see clearly where Zhuo Yifan's flashlight can't shine.
I saw a foot being dragged to the side by something.
"Is that you?" Seeing that the ankle was about to disappear from my sight, I immediately asked out loud, and the dragging motion immediately stopped.
I looked at the shoes, they seemed to be the black cloth shoes of the mouse, and the reason why he liked to wear cloth shoes was because they were light, and he said that he could run faster in them.
"Mouse? Rat? I screamed as I sped up my feet, and by the time I rushed to the mouse, he was already unconscious, and two bloody handprints appeared on his shoulders.
This mark is shocking to see, and if my reaction was slower just now, this mouse would have been dragged away by the owner of this bloody handprint.
"Mouse? Rat? You wake up. I raised my hand and gently patted the mouse's cheek.
Zhuo Yifan dragged me from behind and motioned for me to stand up, while he took a sip of mineral water in his mouth, and then sprayed all of it on the mouse's cheek.
The whole person of the mouse hit a spirit, and then the small body shrank, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Mouse, don't be afraid of me and Zhuo Yifan." I saw that his eyes were full of horror, and I hurried to explain it to him.
His eyes glanced at me and Zhuo Yifan, and his mood calmed down slightly, but when he spoke, he was still stumbling.
"Zhuo Ye, Ninth Master, yes, yes, there are ghosts!" The mouse's little eyes twitched, and after a long time, he spat out such a sentence.
"Ghosts? I don't think so, have you ever seen a ghost with a physical body? After Zhuo Yifan finished speaking, he pointed to the bloody handprint on the mouse's shoulder.
The rat turned his head sideways, and when he saw the bloody handprint, he screamed twice in fright, and almost fainted again.
"Maybe someone is hiding in the shadows and playing with us." Zhuo Yifan said and quickly looked around.
The place where we stood seemed to be a huge granite stone, dotted with red lines, surrounded by uneven stone walls, there were no murals on this stone wall, but there was a row of simplified characters engraved on it, which I could not read, but after careful identification, I could vaguely see that the words on it were somewhat similar to the shamanic characters I had seen on the fragment before.
"Zhuo Yifan, do you understand?" I pointed to the words on the stone wall and asked Zhuo Yifan.
Zhuo Yifan squinted and stared for a long time, and finally said: "Last time, after I found such a text in the tomb, I specially asked Fu Lao to send some rubbings over to me to take a look, but I couldn't recognize them all." ”
Zhuo Yifan looked at it for a long time, and muttered in his mouth: "It seems that there is some kind of blood sacrifice written, life and death are all from the heart?" ”
"What does that mean?" I was dazed, and Zhuo Yifan also shook his head, not understanding the meaning.

Seeing that Zhuo Yifan and I didn't move, the mouse raised his head to look at us with a blank face.
