Chapter 19: The True Lair
When I saw the bald heads, I was overjoyed that I had finally succeeded in finding them.
Who knew that before he could speak, he shouted out first with a 'whoop', and then jumped out of the grass, exposing half of his big white butt and shouting while running: "Fuck, the old bone is coming, the ghost is coming!" I met a ghost cub! ……”
After the roar, four or five people rushed out not far away, including bones. Bones carried a half-meter-long short knife in his hand, and rushed out to look at the bald head and asked in a rough voice: "Bald, where is the ghost man, where is it!?" ”
The bald head rushed to him, hurriedly lifted his pants, took out the dagger and pointed back: "Just over there, there is a little cub, damn walking without a sound, scaring Lao Tzu!" ”
I was so angry and funny in my heart, I cleared my throat and scolded: "Dead bald, you eyes see that I'm a ghost, and I'm a cub, you can figure it out!" ”
The bones were familiar with my voice, and they immediately heard it, and immediately rushed to the front with a short knife, and when they saw me, they also subconsciously frowned: "Lao Zhang, why are you here, what did you do here...... It's like the toad that has become a fine ......."
I looked down at myself, and that's when I realized. It turned out that the mud and fallen leaves that had been stained in the swamp of the sinkhole last night had dried up and the mud and fallen leaves attached to my body, and it did look a little scary at a glance, no wonder the bald head would think of me as a ghost.
Twisting his eyebrows, he rolled his eyes: "I said Lao Zhang, can you squeak before you come, people are scary, scared to death." The bald man's little heart is still pounding and beating unevenly, if it continues like this, before it is eaten by ghosts, he will be scared to death by you. ”
Since I met them, I was most worried about Leng Qi, and hurriedly beckoned a few people to hurry up and take advantage of the dawn to go to Laoshan Mountain to save people. didn't wait to leave, but was pulled back by the bone: "Lao Zhang, don't go, it's useless." We had already gone to the mountain last night to look for it, and it was a stone mountain, and it was very bald from top to bottom. Not to mention Miss Liu Bing, she doesn't even have a rabbit. No, I met you just after coming down from the mountain. ”
As he spoke, Rum also came over and barked at me, as if to tell me that he could not find any trace or smell of Leng Qi.
I inquired in detail, and then I learned that Bald Head and Bones had taken a few villagers out to look for Leng Qi, and followed Rum all the way to find it. Halfway through, Rum lost his goal and stopped spinning in place. They had no choice but to target Laoshan and officially come to the foot of Laoshan at night. Because he was worried about Leng Qi's safety, the bones and bald head didn't wait until dawn, and they lit torches and went up the mountain to look for them overnight.
But a few people searched all night, almost the entire Laoshan wandered around, only to find that Laoshan is actually a stone mountain, full of large and small stones, no vegetation, no holes, and no traces of ghosts. When he was in the mountains, the bones also made Rum try to find Leng Qi's scent again, but Rum's sniffing nose was about to break, and he didn't find anything.
Helplessly, the group had to go back the same way and come down from the mountain, running to the side to go to the toilet with a bald head, and the bones were asking the villagers if they knew any other information about the ghosts, and then they met me.
The bald head also sighed: "I haven't eaten a decent meal in the past few days, and yesterday I tossed for another night, and my stomach always gurgles." It's hard to find it convenient and convenient, good guy, and it scared you. I didn't even bother to lift my pants, and I jumped out of the grass even when I rolled and crawled......"
Hearing this, Bones raised his head and stared at the bald head for a few seconds: "Bald, you just ...... Did you wipe your ass? ……”
……………………
Having lost the only clue, I was so upset that I wasn't in the mood to watch them fight. Several people sat in a circle, and the bones continued to ask the villagers, while the bald head flicked his mobile phone to call Leng Qi, but the voice that came back was always turned off.
I'm worried about Leng Qi, and at the same time, I hate ghosts more and more, and I can't figure out what kind of creature this is.
The villagers were very curious about how I had managed to catch up in such a short period of time, and when they heard that I had crossed the sinkhole, they were even more surprised that they had to tell me what it was like inside the sinkhole.
I casually recounted last night's experience, along with the ghost man trapped in the swamp. The villagers all gave a thumbs up, but their bald heads tilted their heads: "Lao Zhang, you just said that there is a slope in front of the pit and a cliff behind it, and there are traces of ghosts inside. Could it be that these villagers have a misunderstanding of the ghost man's lair, in fact, the ghost man does not live on Laoshan Mountain at all, but in the heavenly pit? ”
Bones also nodded: "That's right, Rum can't smell the ghost man since he bypassed the sinkhole yesterday." I can also vaguely smell that the fishy smell on the ghost man seems to be pouring up in the sinkhole, and the further you go into the pit, the stronger the smell becomes! ”
Listening to their analysis, I also felt that it was very likely, and I could smell a very pungent smell when I was at the bottom of the pit last night. I didn't pay much attention to the rush I was in a hurry, thinking it was the smell of swamp mud. Now that I think about it, the smell of the sludge should be fishy, not fishy, and what I smell is clearly the smell of ghosts!
It is also important to note that the other end of the sinkhole is a cliff that makes it impossible for even a ghost to climb a height of 50 meters with his bare hands. Unlike me, they don't know how to make climbing tools, so they can't climb this high cliff. All this is enough to show that the ghost people have nothing to do with Laoshan at all, and their real place of residence is where I was yesterday - Tiankeng!
Thinking of this, the three of them jumped up at the same time, and no longer wasting time to discuss and discuss, they directly turned around and walked towards the sinkhole.
They brought a total of five villagers with them this time, all of them were strong men carefully selected by the old man in the cloak, and the muscles on their bodies looked stronger than the other.
On the way to the sinkhole, the bald head kept complaining to me, saying that it was better not to bring these villagers. Although they were physically strong, they were several times more serious than their bones. Bones are just habitually worshiped when they encounter the statues of gods and Buddhas, this is what the bone knife told him, and he has been abiding by it, and the gods treat it reverently no matter what way.
And these villagers have reached the level of 'madness', in the words of the bald head, last night after walking around Laoshan Mountain, they had to stop and say goodbye when they encountered strange stones, they had to stop and say goodbye when they heard unknown sounds in the forest, they had to stop and say goodbye when they saw trees they didn't know, and even found a star twinkling in the night sky, they had to stop and say goodbye.
After a night of wandering around Laoshan Mountain, the time to stop and bow alone must take up at least a quarter......
As we spoke, we had come to the edge of the sinkhole, which was the side of the cliff, and I had found the place where I had climbed before. At night, I can't see under my body clearly, so I can't feel anything. Now that it was getting light, I looked at the bottom of the pit from the edge and realized that it was more than 50 meters high. And the whole sinkhole is filled with a gray-white mist, the visibility is less than twenty meters, looking down, the trees at the bottom of the pit are hidden by the fog, only faintly showing some tips......
Looking at the mist in the pit, the five villagers immediately stopped, and lay on the edge of the sinkhole with their hands on their sides, prostrate on the ground, not knowing what they were muttering in their mouths.
The bald head patted his head and sighed slightly: "Yes, I saw it, here it is again......"
If you want to know if Leng Qi was caught by ghosts and entered the sinkhole, you have to go down again to investigate in detail, a few of us don't care, but the five villagers said that they would not go down at all, and they shook their heads like rattles, saying that the sinkhole is hell, and once they go down, they will not be able to go up at all. You can't let everyone die in it just because you save one person's life.
I wanted to persuade them again, but the bald head waved his hand, eager to shake them off: "Lao Zhang, you believe me, with these few people, there will only be more trouble." With our brother and rum, that's enough! ”
Looking at the appearance of the villagers, I also knew that no matter how much I tried to persuade them, I would not follow, so I asked them to take a detour back and wait on the other side of the sinkhole. If we find Leng Qi, we'll go over there and fight them, and then we'll go back to the village together.
Although these villagers are very chattering, they are very kind, and before leaving, they handed us all the rope equipment and some dry food. Then he helped to fasten the rope to the tree, made all the preparations, and prayed a few more words before turning away.
I'm familiar with the sinkhole, after all, I've already walked last night. So the first one grabbed the rope and slid down, and then followed the bald head and bones on top to let Rum down as well.
Rum landed at the bottom of the pit, and I shouted to the top for safety, and then let go of the rope from it. Just as he was about to touch Rum's head, he suddenly took a few steps back, then turned his head and leaned slightly on the ground, staring at the pile of 'anti-falling leaves' I had collected last night next to him, with his teeth exposed, and a low bark came out of his mouth......
