12 When I die, you kill yourself
There is a mouth at the top of the lamp, which is actually a handle, and the surface of the crimson purple has fallen off three-thirds, revealing mottled black metal, but no rust, not so much a lamp, but a well-made handicraft, with a rancid antique.
It is different from the palace lanterns of our dynasties, and it is even more different from the horse lanterns carried by more people, it seems to be lighter, or ...... Or maybe I thought it was.
If he is brought to Panjiayuan, he can exchange a pile of banknotes for a random street, I am afraid that it will be priceless, but its true value is not on the surface.
The lamp is divided into two layers, the outer layer is the keel, the keel is thin like a match, the thick one has chopsticks, the keel is criss-crossed but not intertwined, at first glance it is two eyes, look at it from another angle and then become a skull, the eyes are deep, the whole shape is like a hollow general vivid, if you look in a circle, you can see more things, tongue, ears, women's body, broken limbs...... It's up to you to imagine.
The keel looks very thin, but it is actually very strong, so strong that you don't have a deformation when you sit on it, this kind of material I haven't seen before. Inside is the layer of translucent paper, shaped like a pot gall, thin as cicada wings, both windproof and does not affect the brightness, even in the fight between me and the living dead, this layer of paper is not damaged at all, through the paper can see the general situation inside, the bottom of the octagonal coiled two snakes, intertwined with each other until the center of the position, the two snake heads are raised high, it is very difficult to give up, it seems to be looking at each other, and it seems to be about to start a bite, one of the snake heads spits a green wick in its mouth, and half of it has been burned carbonized, The other snake's mouth was a hole, I guess it was used to light the fire and keep the oxygen supply, and sure enough, just below the lampholder I felt a round hole the thickness of a finger.
The wick looks oily and should be lit up at the sight of fire.
Using the interval between Qianmo to find a lighter, I thoroughly familiarized myself with the lamp in my hand, and as soon as I looked up, I saw Qianmo throwing something at me, shiny.
"It's an antique, let's try it." After Qian Mo finished speaking, he looked around vigilantly.
"You women are weird, do you always have to save the most precious thing until the last moment?" I took it in my hand and ignored her.
Qian Mo closed his eyes and said, "I'...... Do I have one? ”
In fact, I just said it casually, but unexpectedly, this woman moved the five flavors of real fire, and she was ashamed to answer.
"Bullets?" I spread out my palm and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, seeing Qianmo's strange expression, I used two fingers to clamp the bullet close to the flashlight and take a look, only to find that I was blind, but it was a bit similar to the shape of the bullet.
I remembered that this is a bullet lighter, also called a military oil-based lighter, with an aluminum shell, using kerosene and flint to start a fire, a standard German product, simple workmanship and does not take up space, which is convenient for addicts in the team to carry.
Take off the cover, I hurriedly pulled a few times with my thumb, sneering and splashing, feeling that my thumb is about to wear off the skin, this guy just doesn't catch fire, I changed my hand again, the lighter still has no intention of catching fire, my neck sideburns began to sweat, and I was about to raise my hand to throw it out of the crack in the door, but was snatched by Qianmo.
Qian Mo put the lighter in his mouth, then took it out and handed it to me, with slimy saliva on it, and said, "I've never used such a high-end lighter, right?" Try again. ”
I didn't have time to wipe it, I directly touched the wheel of the lighter, stabbed, the flame burned with a faint kerosene incense, and quickly moved the flame to the small hole at the bottom of the lamp holder, the flame flickered and drilled in, and then spit out along the snake's head, and with a whirl, the green wick burned.
"Brother Cui, hurry up and blow the lights, they're all here." Qian Mo's face turned pale, holding my arm and waiting anxiously.
What's going on? The moment the lights came on, the entire bottom of the boat shook, and before I could react, there was a series of shaking, and then there were voices one after another, first outside the door, and then behind them, like the resonance caused by hundreds of people lifting their feet and landing at the same time.
I also had no idea for a while, this is different from what I imagined, I didn't think that lighting the lamp would make such a big movement, listening to the sound, it should be that all the movable things in the place where we stayed just now have moved, it seems that they are inextricably linked with this lamp, the lamp does not feel the direction of them, once it is lit up, it seems that they have opened their eyes, and one by one has life.
The movement outside the door was even louder, and before the thing showed its head, the itchy sound reached the ears, clicking...... Click, listen to the sound should be scratching the wall.
"If you don't try how to know Zi Chouyin, but this dead old man is still with him, he may be the only one here who can speak."
I handed over the flashlight and the weird knife to Qianmo for safekeeping, I held the thin body of the person holding the lamp in one hand, holding the lamp in the other hand, hooking the door with my toes, and sending the lamp out first, under the bright green light, two heads suddenly poked out, and only three eyes could be seen clearly under the black cloth robe, which was deeply sunk in the collapsed eye sockets, and the other parts had been seriously carbonized, and it was dark green under the light, and it was difficult to distinguish the boundary from the clothes, one of the eyes I had seen, which was full of red blood, and the other eye socket was empty, A black-green scab ran from the top of its head over its cheek, like a centipede, to the bottom of its earlobe, causing the half of its face to shrink significantly.
Past experience has taught me that they have been dead for at least ten years, and now they see a corpse, standing across from me for some reason, with three eyes staring at the green wick, as if unpredictable.
Stepping out of the front foot, the back foot did not dare to keep up, the center of gravity of the body is also on the root of the back foot, before I saw the samurai * sword, I would never dare to walk out of this door, almost a minute of stalemate, the movement behind him has approached, Qian Mo turned his head and shook it with a flashlight, and immediately the portrait was evil, and his eyes stared at me in a daze, as if to tell me that if she died here, it was all caused by me.
My head was empty, and none of the few actions I had written down before fit the current scene, so I created a few actions by myself.
In order to prevent me from pushing Qian Mo away from my side, first, to facilitate my response to emergencies, and secondly, if I become the target of the three eyes, the province will involve her, Qian Mo seemed to understand what I meant, raised his head, his eyes were a little foggy, suddenly squeezed his eyes, and asked me: "Think about it, do we have to do this?" ”
"There's nothing to think about, if I die, you will commit suicide, and no one is better off with grasshoppers on a rope." I'm ready to be bad, I don't know when, I don't hate this little demon Vietnamese woman anymore, although I can't say that I have a good feeling, at least I have taken her into account when I encounter things, but it's not because she's beautiful.
Learning the slow movement of the old man holding the lamp, I raised my right hand above my head, just because I was afraid that my head would block the light, and then stretched forward inch by inch, the jumping flames broke through the darkness little by little, and as soon as my hand stretched out of the door frame, my heart suddenly trembled, and I found that all three eyes were closed, and I felt that something was wrong, and I wanted to withdraw my arm and turn around, but it was too late, and the bright samurai * sword and the black wooden stick had already appeared directly above my head.
