Chapter Twenty-Five: The Battle of the Rats
We followed the trails on the tree that I and the monkeys had left behind, peeled with knives, and walked deeper into the forest.
From morning to dark, in the evening spent the night on a sheltered hill.
Everyone set up a fire with branches, roasted the cooked mutton that had been frozen, ate to their heart's content, and then moved the fire away, laid out the blanket brought by the old professor, and the five of them lay down.
This time it's not like last time, just the two of us, and I feel much safer.
In the first half of the night, the monkey Peng Fei set up a sentry, and the two of them lay down for a while, afraid of falling asleep and sitting up. In the second half of the night, Specialist Lan and I woke up and took over the two of them to sleep.
As soon as they fell asleep, I felt the urgency to urinate and stood up to urinate.
After walking a short distance, I saw a white mass moving in the snow.
I was startled and slowly walked over to see that it was a little rabbit.
Oh, and the rabbits, this time there's rabbit meat to eat.
I took out my dagger and threw it forward, and I heard a soft sound, and the white rabbit flashed and disappeared.
How so? I was obviously shot.
I'm not reconciled, after all, the snow is the same color as the white rabbit, maybe it won't go far.
So he walked over and wandered around the neighborhood to look for it.
But there is no shadow, this is also running too fast?
I was wondering when I felt a figure flashing behind me, and the sound of wind driven by clothes.
I was startled, looked back, and there was nothing.
This is also too strange, the monkey Peng Fei flew in the middle of the night, there was nothing going on, and it was haunted to rotate me?
No, mine went back.
I felt that my scalp was fried, so I had to go back.
But after walking for a long time, I didn't see the campfire.
This is also too good, obviously I didn't walk out a few steps, why can't I see the campfire?
So I walked again, and this time I was watching carefully, and I found myself circling around an old tree.
Could there be something wrong with this tree?
I looked at the old tree and said, "You and I don't interfere with the water of the well, why don't you let me leave?" I beg you to let me go, I'm kowtowing to your old man. ”
Seriously, I would really believe that there are too many strange things in the world, so I heard an old voice say: "Your smell of blood is too strong, rabbit, it is also alive, you want to kill it, isn't it too ruthless." ”
"I didn't mean to, because we came to archaeology, and without food, the work couldn't go on, so that's why we did it."
"If you don't have it, don't you have it?" His question is still true, and it is difficult to answer.
"Well, you remember, everything has its own right to freedom, and to deprive them of their right is what you call infringement."
Yes, the old tree spirit, even made infringement.
"Grandpa Old Tree, I made a note of it, you let me go."
"Let's go!"
After saying this, I hurriedly stood up and looked around, only to see myself standing by the campfire, and Specialist Lan was sitting there dozing.
The other three people slept soundly, as if what had just happened had not happened.
I wondered if I had done that or not. Did you stab the little white rabbit with a dagger?
Reaching into the boots, the dagger was indeed gone. It seems that that just now, that incident did happen.
It's not good to talk to Expert Lan, after all, there are still three people sleeping.
He stood for a moment, then sat down on the edge of the blanket and dozed off.
I don't know how long later, I heard someone shouting: "Little plum has breakfast." ”
When I opened my eyes, I saw that Specialist Lan had already roasted frozen mutton on the fire.
Quickly rubbed his eyes and walked over.
At this time, the old professor, Peng Fei Monkey, and the three of them woke up and gathered around, and the five of them began to eat.
"I didn't sleep very well last night, and I dreamed that someone was talking again, as if listening to the voice was Xiao Lizi, talking to someone, saying that rabbits are also life, and what kind of infringement and so on." The old professor said as he chewed the mutton.
"You dreamed, why didn't I hear it." The monkey hugged a piece of meat and ate it in a big gulp.
"It should be the old professor dreaming, I've been sitting sentry all the time, why didn't I hear it." Lan expert said.
"yes, who will you talk to? It's the middle of the night. "When I say this, I just think that thing is a little strange, it's just a fantasy, who would believe it? Don't talk about it.
So after breakfast, we continued on our way, and on the way, Monkey and Peng Fei hunted a few pheasants. And I, I don't dare to kill anything!
But while walking, I always felt like there was a pair of eyes watching our whereabouts.
But I looked at it a few times, but I didn't see where the eyes came from, whether there really were such eyes.
It was almost noon when we finally walked to the mushroom-like tomb.
The old professor saw it and was very excited. He asked Peng Fei to quickly take pictures with his camera, and asked me and the monkeys to surround the mushroom mountain and measure and calculate the size.
After finishing the work, we made a fire and roasted two pheasants, and after eating, we left Peng Fei to stand guard outside before we entered the ancient tomb.
We followed the steps we had done last time, opened the hole, and went down the basement to the two coffins.
"Old professor, the last time we tried to open it, we heard it squeak, and we were so frightened that we ran away. I don't think these two coffins can be opened. ”
"Hehe, you two are too timid, it's okay. Everything is afraid of people, and don't forget that people are the spirit of all things! ”
Yes, how can man be conquered by other species?
"Come on, monkey, help me."
The monkey and I, relying on our courage, just pushed open the coffin before we got together to make up the coffin, and we heard another "crunch." There was a soft sound.
"Ah, it's, it's ringing again." The monkey jumped away from it like a monkey with dexterity.
I also hurried away.
"Squeak, squeak." Two more sounds followed. These two voices are loud.
"Look, the lights are out over there." The monkey shouted.
"The other side is also extinguished." I cried out in terror.
"Don't mess around, monkey turn on the flashlight and watch me."
The old professor walked to the coffin in two steps, and with a strong push, the coffin on top of the coffin was pushed away.
And in that moment, all the people's oil lamps were extinguished.
"Teacher, ghost blowing the lamp, run." The monkey yelled. I rushed over, picked up the old professor, and ran away.
At this moment, all of a sudden, the lights were all on again.
The four of us were stunned, and when I looked back, I saw a big mouse with red eyes, and it was the size of a big cat.
It jumped out of the coffin and was sniffing people with its pointed nose, as if we were the food it was looking for.
"It's a man-eater, a monkey shooting." The old professor ordered.
The monkey quickly took out the hand and shot at the big mouse.
But in a panic, the monkey did not hit this robbery, but it seemed to annoy the big mouse, and it squeaked a few times, and then jumped violently, and bit the monkey's clothes.
At the same time, from the coffin, countless rats jumped out, large and small, but all with red eyes, like the four of us besieging them.
"Quick, get out." The old professor will regret this, and his eyes are red in a hurry.
The monkey was bitten by the rat king and refused to let go, and the other three people, as far as I was concerned, how could I escape? I was immediately covered in sweat, snatched the pouting in the hand of Expert Lan, and hit the rat king with the butt of a gun.
I only heard a squeak, and the rat king was knocked unconscious by me.
Those rats seemed to have stopped attacking all of a sudden, and slowly crawled like the rat king.
"Fast sulfuric acid." The old professor shouted.
I just remembered that I had sulfuric acid in my satchel.
Quickly took out a bottle and opened it like a swarm of rats.
Puffs of black smoke rose, and rats, squeaking, made a mess.
But some rats, like humans, are not afraid of death, and they can be said to be in danger.
He continued to jump up at Specialist Lan and a few of us, biting us.
Fortunately, everyone was wearing thick and cotton gloves.
However, the clothes have been torn by rats, and there are hollows and cuts everywhere. I spilled the two remaining bottles out of my backpack as well, only to stop the rats from attacking for a moment, and then swarmed again.
I was in a hurry and shouted, "Get out of here, I'm on fire." I screamed, pulled out my lighter, and pointed to the empty bottle of sulfuric acid.
Then with a flick of his hand, he threw it at the two coffins.
Because there are still rats pouring out there.
