Chapter 17: The Stench
The night passed faster than usual, and by the time I woke up, it was already dawn.
Sleeping after drinking is the most soundly sleeping, I stretched to find Lacey in a daze by the window, there were several cigarette butts on the floor, it seemed that he had been awake for a long time.
"What are you thinking", I asked Lesey
Lacey was silent for a while before he said, "Uncle Liu said that the human sacrifice will cost three people."
"You mean ......", a chill arose in my heart.
"Mark the three of them are just right"
I immediately stopped Lacey from saying something, "You're going to kill someone?" , even if they do human sacrifices, Uncle Liu's people will still kill people often in the future."
"Then it's none of my business," Lacey said stiffly, had he been thinking about this all morning?
"I think that ancient demon is a monster at most, although there is no Ultraman, but we can kill the monster with a gun, you can ask your comrades to get some M4 or AK47"
"You can get the equipment and give it away, but you have to get the guns yourself," Lacey said.
"How do you get it yourself?"
"Spend money to buy"
In this unfamiliar place, even if you have money, there is no way, not to mention that we have no money at all now.
"Don't kill anyway, Lacey, promise me, don't kill", I looked at Lacey sincerely, hoping he would promise me.
Lacey looked at me and smiled, "Who likes to kill people if they don't have to." Okay, train your marksmanship today."
"Marksmanship?" I looked at Lacey suspiciously.
Lacey unzipped his backpack to show me, there were two black pistols lying quietly inside, in the slightly black backpack, the black metal was very fascinating, and I wanted to hold it in my hand and stroke it well.
Women love beauty, men love guns, this is nature.
"How did you get it?" Can this thing be put in a backpack to go through security?
"Came by mail, received it yesterday"
Last month's Wuxi Adventure still felt like it happened yesterday, and this time with two guns, my heart is much more relaxed.
"Give it to you, don't say it to anyone, go, go eat"
At half past eight in the morning, I, Laixi, Zhang San and Zhao Dong, our Wuxi four-person group plus a drag oil bottle and ten thousand camels set off.
In order not to be noticeable, we still dressed up as tourists and took a taxi to the West Lake, and then walked to the Haunted House.
After I moved the firewood and grass covering the door of the house, Wan Huo suddenly patted me on the right shoulder, "Brother,,,
Before he finished speaking, I remembered the scene yesterday when he wiped his snot on Zhang San's shoulder, immediately jumped three steps away, and then looked at him with disgust and contempt.
"You wipe your nose on me"
"No, how is it possible, our brother ,,,"
"It's not a brother, it's not a brother, these behaviors are unacceptable"
I was still fighting with Wan Huo, and Zhang San said in a gloomy voice next to him, "This time Kui Gangxing came down to experience obscenity."
Lacey had already entered the house while we were arguing, "little handsome", Lacey shouted.
I didn't bother to take care of the camel and walked into the house.
The big dog who led the way yesterday was lying next to the stone trough and was looking up at us.
How did it get in, I closed the door yesterday when we left, and moved the firewood and grass back to cover the door.
The water in the stone trough disappeared again, and the bottom of the trough was dry, and there was not a drop of water.
This water can't all evaporate, right? Has anyone been here?
If there are any, it's probably those two weird old men.
"Those two old men may have noticed that we have found the entrance, and it looks like we need to go down sooner", I said to Lacey.
Lacey nodded, "Explore the road as soon as possible today, Xiaoshuai and I will go in first to have a look, and the three of you will close the door and guard by the stone trough."
After Lacey finished speaking, he took out the dagger and handed it to Zhao Dong.
If you meet those two weird old men, will this dagger work? I explained to them again, "If there is an accident, go back and bring the second senior brother to save us."
"I'll go in with you too," Wan Camel said.
I'm still annoyed that he wiped his snot on me, and said angrily, "Close the door and let the dog go"
"Hmm", the dog on the ground stood up at this time, tilted his head and barked.
This dog is so cute, I really want to hug it and touch it.
"There's no water in the tank," Zhao said.
"By the way, we ran out yesterday, anyway, there are buckets close to the lake, let's go fetch water."
To go into the mausoleum to get treasures, everyone contributed, and no one was lazy, except for Lacey, the four of us took turns to carry water, and we did it for more than twenty minutes.
As soon as the water in the stone trough was full, the big yellow dog jumped into the water and dived with a plop, and disappeared without a trace, and I was even more convinced that it was Uncle Liu, and although Uncle Liu was dead, he was also helping us.
Putting the air in the waterproof backpack, Lacey and I got off the stone trough one after another, this time we were familiar with the road, and we didn't encounter anything strange that scared me half to death, maybe Lacey was by my side.
Coming to the surface again, Lacey turned on the flashlight. The disgusting stench went straight to my mouth, to my throat, to my lungs.
I quickly took out my gas mask and put it on my face, although the filtered air smelled of powder, it was much more comfortable.
When the flashlight shook the surroundings, I was frightened again. Fortunately, I stayed obediently in the stone trough yesterday, which is a platform halfway up the mountain, with a platform on one side and a cliff on the other. If I had come out of the stone trough yesterday, I might have fallen because I couldn't see it.
The platform is not big, about thirty or forty square meters, and the big yellow dog is gone, could it be that it has fallen.
We stepped out of the sink and shone our flashlight down the cliff, but the flashlight quickly disappeared into darkness, and we couldn't see the bottom or how high the cliff was.
You can't see the top upwards, is this not an underground space at all, just a night of mountains?
The boundless darkness made people feel deeply depressed, and I hurriedly took out the simple searchlight made by Zhang San and turned it on.
It seems that some rock walls can be seen overhead, but there is no bottom to be seen downward, and a little mountain shadow can be faintly seen in the distance.
We were all amazed at the size of the space, and it took us a long time to come to my senses, and I looked at Lacey, "It looks like the only thing left is to find a flare gun"
Lacey paused for a moment and said, "Such a big place, I'm afraid it can't be completed in a day or two, so you have to prepare."
Since we can't see clearly, let's focus on the platform around us.
It's completely overrun by flies, and if it weren't for gas masks, there's little room for us to stand. Countless flies crawling on my body are disgusting.
On the ground, in the air, as far as the eye can see, there are flying flies, we slowly walk in, there are a large number of writhing maggots, chrysalis, and fly corpses on the ground, stepping on it makes countless snapping sounds, each foot up I don't know how many maggot chrysalis burst. We just came out of the water, and we were barefoot.
"Ah~"
"Ahh
I screamed in disgust when I stepped on it, and the crackling sound pierced my nerves through my ears. The slippery feeling on the soles of my feet and the throbbing of maggots bursting made my stomach twitch for a while, and I almost threw up several times.
Bear, I forcibly endure.
I finally walked to the mountain wall, where there were almost no flies in the air except for the countless dead flies on the ground.
It's finally time to take a breather.
On the ground next to the wall was a wooden box without a lid, and the wooden box was full of yellow powder.
Lacey grabbed a handful, looked at it in his hand, and then took off his gas mask and sniffed it.
"Brimstone"
It turned out that there was sulfur, so there were no flies here.
"Why are there so many flies here?" The dense flies made me a little breathless.
Lacey kicked the ground in front of her and shone it with a flashlight.
"Blood clots, the ground is full of large and small blood clots"
As soon as I heard the blood, I thought of Uncle Liu's father and third uncle grabbing the living people here one by one and killing them, and the blood of those dead people flowed to the ground and flowed to my feet.
"Little handsome", Lacey interrupted my thoughts, shining a flashlight in the middle of the mountain wall on the right, where there was another large water tank.
We walked over, the jar was densely covered with dead flies, and in the middle of the jar there was a wick as thick as a mineral water bottle, and it was also full of flies.
