Chapter 1218: Stone Bodhisattva Village (3)
Forget it, it's useless to think about it any more. It's better to wait for everyone to rest and recuperate, and then go to the bottom of the pit to find out.
I found a random rock to sit on, and I looked up at the sky. On a sunny day, the breeze blows on the cheeks, which is very refreshing. The dilapidated mountain villages in the valley are filled with the scent of nature, but they do not give you the slightest sense of security.
I can't help but think of many years ago, in Mosong Town, far away from Spring City, I also experienced a zombie attack. At that time, the entire town was attacked by ancient corpses that were accidentally dug up, and the living and dead who were infected with corpse poison were all turned into walking corpses. A few days later, the town was dead. How similar that situation is to the current Stone Bodhisattva Village.
(For details, see "Night Silence 205 Zombies")
Suddenly a question came to mind, and I turned my head to look at Gong Ruya, who was sitting not far from me: "Shi Bodhisattva Village, did your father order it to be erased?" ”
Gong Ruya was a little puzzled: "I don't know, why are you asking this?" ”
"I'm just curious." I shook my head.
Now my biggest doubt is why Shi Bodhisattva Village was erased, and who erased it. The Gong family is the most suspicious, if it is really the Gong family, then the possibility that this family belongs to the Yaxin force is even greater. Can you take advantage of this?
A leaf was blown down by the wind and fell on my knee. The white clouds kept changing their appearance in the blue sky, and I smiled bitterly. I am already part of the whirlpool, how can I use it. To be honest, I'm sitting here and I'm really involuntary.
At this moment, the satellite phone in my arms suddenly rang. I quickly took it out and connected it, and I heard the old man Yang Junfei say in a hurried tone: "Xiaoye, is Gong Ruya still alive?" ”
"She's jumping right next to me." I frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
"Big deal." The old man paused, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Just one day after you set off for Shi Bodhisattva Village, a shocking murder occurred in the Gong family. There are 137 people in the whole clan, including servants and housekeepers, and there are many of them, and they are all dead! ”
"How is that possible!" I was stunned.
There are a total of 38 people in the direct line of the Gong family, and only Gong Ruya, who stayed by my side, survived. The cause of death of the rest is unknown. According to the old man, there were no signs of injuries on the surface of their bodies. However, clues to the murder were found in the hidden place. All have been bitten by some kind of mosquito. It is likely that the killer poured deadly venom into the mouths of mosquitoes, and transmitted the toxin by sucking blood and biting humans.
However, this inference is too difficult to operate, after all, mosquitoes are difficult to control.
I knew very well in my heart that it was too simple to order mosquitoes to carry venom to kill people with the means of the forces to which Yaxin belonged. But why did the Gong family turn against that mysterious force, even at the cost of the lives of the entire clan? Gong Xiong clearly knew that the price of the opposite goal was death, which can be clearly judged from the fact that he told Gong Ruya to follow my instructions without leaving for a moment.
didn't dare to tell Gong Ruya the news. I don't know what to tell her. Could it be that the hippie smiled and teased, Palace beauty, all the children in your family went to see the king of Hades. Rest assured, it is not painful to die. If you're not careful, you're probably not far from meeting them.
Scratching my head, I smiled wryly again. Gong Ruya doesn't have a deep friendship with herself, and I'm not a pure man who can comfort people. Let's put this matter aside, she will know it herself when she returns to Spring City. After that, I don't need to take care of it!
At half past three in the afternoon, after everyone had almost rested, I led the team in the direction of the pit. The pit in Shibodhisattva Village is not difficult to find, and a very spacious road has been built because the excavated coal mine has to be transported. The road crosses the entire village and stands out like a belt tied around the mountainside. The other end of the road leads to the direction of the village. This road is exactly what we have been trying to find, but we have never been able to find, the village road marked on the old map.
I really don't know what means were used to erase the power of the Stone Bodhisattva Village and hide this road.
The road is asphalted, and although more than 10 years have passed, it still performs its function as a road. The journey was smooth, and it wasn't until they stood in front of the deep mine that everyone hesitated a little.
The hole in front of me is not too high, because it is very old, and it really has nothing to do with standardization and mechanization. The roof of the cave is supported by a mess of wood, and it always feels like it will collapse at any moment.
I instructed, "Turn on the lights, our destination should be a deep pit deep in the mine." Watch your step when walking! ”
Everyone put the miners' lamps on their heads and walked into the mine one by one.
Sure enough, it is a rich mine, although the scale is not large, but the black coal can be seen everywhere. It's no wonder that resources are still available after thousands of years of mining. I judged that although this coal belt is easy to mine, the reserves are not large. The scale of mining in normal times is only enough for nearby villages and towns.
At the entrance of the mine, there are huge red letters, painted with the three big characters of 'Dongyi Mine' that have been mottled with paint. There are also slogans unique to the era of planned economy, which make people look very novel.
The cave is always inclined downward, and the slope is not steep. It took more than 2 hours for us to come to the pit that Li Ming told about. In the face of this pit dug down suddenly, although I was still a little mentally prepared, I was still a little dazed when I really saw it with the naked eye. The height and width of the cave entrance seem to be somewhat inconsistent with Li Ming's account. Did someone deliberately widen it later?
The pit was surrounded by bricks half a person high as a warning to prevent anyone from accidentally falling. I shone it with a flashlight, and the hole was dug at an angle of thirty degrees, unfathomable, and there was no way to see the end.
"The tomb is inside?" The old gun asked.
"Not bad." I nodded and swallowed nervously, "Be careful, let's go down slowly." ”
"No problem." As an experienced captain, the old gun turned his head and instructed Han Dian: "Old man, drive piles and fix the long rope at the entrance of the cave." ”
Handian took out a special nylon rope, which was only the thickness of a finger, but enough to bear the weight of five people. The soil in the coal mine cave was a little soft, and he drove the metal stakes more than a meter into the ground before tying ropes. A group of seven people tied up the safety rope and walked down unhurriedly.
It can be seen that the workers are very impatient when digging the hole, and the hole is uneven. 30 degrees isn't steep, but it's a terrible feeling to walk on tiptoe all the time.
