Chapter 53: Entrance (II)
My hands were still pulling the spear mechanically, but my eyes were staring at the mute behind me who was desperately pulling the spear;
"Where the did you go?" , I angrily scolded the dumb man behind me;
He was only stunned for a moment, then he let go of the spear and babbled, and the shaft of the spear suddenly sank, and the tiger girl almost fell into the swamp;
I grabbed Huya's pants and pulled her back, a little sweat oozed from her head, and I don't know if she had just pulled too hard, or stepped into the mud with half a leg and was in shock, but when she saw the mute behind her, she also frowned, and turned her head to look at the mud figure in the mud and slowly sinking;
"I'll settle accounts with you later, pull this person up first, maybe it's our scattered person", at the moment I don't care about scolding the dumb man, recalling the nearly three months before and after the team was scattered, the mountain was staying, the team of thirty or forty people was left with four people in front of the eyes, this sense of torment and guilt made me unable to sleep all night long, if the clay man in the swamp was really my own person, I would say anything to pull him out;
But when this "person" was really "lying" at our feet, I realized that this was not a person at all, or that she might have been a human before, but now, she was a corpse, a tall female corpse with a swollen abdomen, and had become almost petrified;
We used up almost all the water at hand to barely get a good view of her face, a face that I would remember for the rest of my life at a glance;
Because it was not a face, she had no skin all over her body, all the muscles of her face were bare in the air, her eye sockets were sunken, her mouth was grinning in a very exaggerated way, and the mouth was open enough to fit into one of my fists, I really did not dare to do such an experiment with my own hands, I did not even dare to pull out the sludge that remained in his mouth, as if I was afraid that if I made a move, the dead man would suddenly close his mouth;
And the strangest thing is that this person's body is black and hard, no wonder we just pulled it so hard, I can't tell how long he has been lying in this swamp, so that a person's body color tends to be close to the black mud color of this swamp and has appeared jade, he is lying on the ground straight like black jade, one arm to save and maintain the posture just in the mud, which makes me even suspect that the "black fetus" in front of me is a piece of black jade, has been carefully sculpted by others into what it is today;
I was a little dizzy, I don't know if it was the after-effects of the "tumbling race" two hours earlier, or if it was caused by the high methane concentration in this swamp;
The bald man stroked the black jade female corpse that had now been washed clean and couldn't help shaking his head, looking at that look as if this grandson still had some illusions about the figure of the female corpse, especially his pair of eyes staring at the chest of the female corpse, which made me conclude that this grandson must have a corpse love plot!
"Shao Fachun, let's see if this is the stone man who tripped you in the mud in the first place?" , I asked the bald man with palpitations;
"It seems so";
As soon as I heard it, I was anxious: "What do you mean?" Are you still in the mood for? ”;
"Nonsense, who knows you when you're washing clean? You put the mud on it again and let Lao Tzu see it, maybe I'll be it";
"But didn't you say that the transparent stone with the words in it was pulled out of the stone statue's eyes?" , I asked;
"At that time, her feet hurt, and the stone statue was black, who can tell whether it is an eye or a mouth, you can see for yourself, is her mouth just right now able to put the eyes of Huangquan?" , The bald man squatted down solemnly and compared the female corpse's mouth and said:
"This mouth... It's good for... Well, haha", it was only three seconds, and the bald man's evil smile was back on his face, so that anyone could hear the dirty thoughts of this grandson at this time;
"If you want to become a black bull and cut off children and grandchildren, you might as well try it according to your ideas", I pulled the bald man away angrily, and my eyes did not forget to glance at the tiger girl, for fear that the black bull I mentioned would make the tiger girl mad, so she didn't seem to care about me and the bald man's stinky poverty at all, and her eyes stared at the swamp where the female corpse had just stayed;
"Take a good look at whether it was her who tripped you... Didn't you say it wasn't a stone statue, it was a stone tablet? Besides, the place where you stumbled was not in the swamp", I tried to remember what the bald man had told me, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became;
"At that time, she may have been lying on her side in the mud, and I didn't look carefully, but the eye of the Yellow Spring was indeed buckled out of this mouth, I remember that it was such a big hole, as for why the mud turned into a swamp, you have to ask this female corpse yourself, how do I know, is it her own long legs?" The bald man said to me, and looked at the tiger from time to time, as if he was hiding something;
I suddenly remembered that the bald man had said that he had followed Huya and the old witch to the Holy Land and had seen the same stone tablet in the stone house before, could it be that there was such a similar black jade female corpse in their holy land?
"Huya, your holy land also has this thing, right?" , I cautiously asked the tigress who had been silent for a long time, for fear that if I was not careful, I would invite death;
"No," she replied coldly;
"Huya, no matter why you want to hide from me about your holy land, but now you also know that life and death are at stake, can you give some clues that you think are useful, we can't die here of old age, right?"
"No clues, it's just holy land";
I suppressed the fire in my heart and said, "Don't you want to complete the task that you sorcerers have given you?" I lied because I didn't know what the task was;
As soon as the words came out, the tiger girl's eyes immediately flashed cold, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly reached out to the back of my waist to touch the dagger that I was tied to death, for fear that she would suddenly attack;
But who expected that the tiger girl did not pounce on me, but stared at the swamp where the female corpse had just stayed and exclaimed: "Look! There seems to be something in the swamp mud! ”;
Looking in the direction of her finger, we saw that huge bubbles were still surging upwards in the mud from time to time, and just now we mistook it for the breath exhaled by a dumb man trapped in the swamp, but now it seems that something is breathing underneath;
But judging from the size of the bubble, it is too big, with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, and it does not look like it is panting, especially since this black jade female corpse floats but does not sink in the swamp, which makes me suddenly have a strange thought, there is probably a "vent" below!
I stared at the bubbles and said, "Dumb, hand me the spear."
