Chapter 15: The Village of Hades
"Bustard!" I reluctantly stopped him, "Don't bother, it looks like we're really stuck in a place where birds don't." ”
The fat man had a bitter face, almost crying like a doll: "Wang Zhen, what can I do, I don't want to be a lonely ghost."
"Hold back!" I scolded, "Look at your cowardice, we can't get out without that guy leading the way?" Don't forget that you're here to rob the tomb, and you're afraid you won't be able to do your duty? ”
"Fuck you! Why don't you let me rob the tomb of Lord Yama? This is in the underworld, that bullshit bronze general is also a bit of a person, I wonder if we can turn him into a zongzi as a minion. The fat man scolded back.
I didn't say anything more. Damn, he himself made two mistakes to drag me to this hellish place, and said that he could keep me rich, and now it seems that even saving my life is the same thing. In the end, you have to rely on yourself, after all, this is not the time to fight. So I ignored him anymore and walked straight in the direction given by the Huo family's father before.
"Wang Zhen? Wang Zhen! When the fat man saw that I had left him alone, he was so frightened that he scolded his father and mother, and immediately followed, and he didn't speak again.
The two of us just kept walking in that direction, and I didn't know whether the Huo family's father was right or wrong, in short, after walking for a long time, all we saw were dense woods that could not penetrate the sky, and the branches of these trees were twisted too much, almost dancing with teeth and claws.
I started to walk a little sleepy, my eyelids drooped and my consciousness began to blur. Just as I was about to fall asleep, the fat man suddenly shouted:
"Look!"
My sleepy insect was immediately scared away, broke out in a cold sweat, and was about to scold him when I looked up, but I saw him say to me with a serious face: "Wang Zhen, look, what is that?"
As I spoke, I looked in the direction of his gaze and was shocked: it was a village!
It's true! It was indeed a relatively large village! There are a few fucking lights on!
"That's not where the ghost lives, is it?" The fat man looked incredulous.
I shook my head. Even though there were some sporadic fires in that village, it still looked like it was black, as if it was shrouded in black mist!
"Check it out."
I beckoned to the fat man, who was reluctant at first, but then saw me walk away and follow me.
As I got closer and closer to that village, the ominousness in my heart became more and more obvious. The wind around me was constantly scrambling into the sleeves of my trousers, and I shivered at the sight of me.
In the blink of an eye, we were already standing at the foot of the village.
The fat man looked curiously at this inexplicable village, frowned, and said to me: "I said, is it me who is dazzled or what, why does this village look so familiar?"
When I looked at it, it was really, there was a little bit of déjà vu. I looked up again, and when my eyes touched the plaque at the head of the village, I was taken aback!
I saw three big characters written on the plaque: Gazi Village!
I looked up again, and sure enough, all the familiarity came to mind, this was the village we lived in!
Did we come around? I didn't react for a while. At the same time, the fat man was aware of the existence of the plaque, and after seeing it, he was excited: "Damn, let's come back!"
Before the fat man could finish speaking, he suddenly hurried inside. I hurriedly shouted, "Don't be impulsive, old bustard! What are you doing? ”
The fat man didn't reply: "Master, I'm going to settle accounts with that old beast of the Huo family!"
I couldn't persuade him, so I followed him into the village. While following the fat man, I suddenly realized one thing, that is, I felt that there was something wrong here, and I couldn't tell what was wrong.
It was quiet, and I could hear the wind blowing. As I ran, I didn't forget to look around.
After walking a few more steps, I finally stopped and shouted at the fat man, "Bustard! Stop it! ”
The fat man was frightened by me, stopped and looked back at me and asked, "What's the matter?"
"That's not right!"
"What's wrong?"
"Atmosphere." I looked around vigilantly again: "Although Gazi Village is said to be poor, it is a place with a few people, if you look at it again, there is no sound of birds and birds, don't you think it is suspicious?"
"You mean, we're seeing another mirage?"
I nodded.
"Let's go to Master Lin's house and have a look."
The fat man ran towards Lin Ye's house. Lin Ye's house was still lit, but it was silent. The fat man and I went upstairs to take a look, but we didn't see the shadow of Lin Ye.
We went to the homes of other villagers to take a look, but there was still no one left, and sure enough, there was not a single living person in this village!
"It's over!" The fat man sat on the ground, "We're really trapped in Xiaowushan." ”
I kicked him: "Get out, we are grasshoppers on a straw now, don't discourage me, didn't the Huo family's father say that there is an old well in the central place, let's go down that one and see if we can enter Huo Buji's lair, and then find a way to get out."
The fat man cried and cried: "It's okay, let's take one step at a time."
We arrived in the middle of the village, and as the Huo family's father said, there was indeed an old well there. It looks like the vintage is also very old, and it is made of bluestone. I looked inside with a flashlight, and there was an iron ladder leading to the bottom at the edge, and I couldn't see what was inside.
I said to the fat man, "What do you say?"
Fat man: "What else can I say, go down, anyway, I'm going to die horizontally and vertically."
With that, he took off his coat, picked a stone from the ground and wrapped it in it, lit it with a lighter, and threw it to the bottom of the well with a raging fire.
Boom!
After about four or five seconds, there was an echo from the bottom of the well, and we poked our heads to the bottom of the well to see that the fire had fallen about two hundred meters away from us, and the fire was still burning, indicating that the oxygen in it was quite sufficient.
So the fat man saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he moved his fat body and stepped down the well, holding on to the ladder, and climbed down step by step. I pointed the light at the bottom of the well with a flashlight in my mouth and followed it above.
Although the process of going down was very short, it seemed like a day for us, because when we went down, we clearly heard a voice stirring in our ears, like a shrill female voice, and like a babbling child's voice, that is, the voice that was bewitching the mind, I remembered the beautiful snake in ancient Roman legend, and like her, I clearly felt that my consciousness was constantly blurring.
Finally, we ended up in the end.
When the foot landed on that land, both the fat man and I felt a shuddering cold, as uncomfortable as the foot landed on the sleek ankle bone of a dead man's leg.
Lifting the flashlight, we are now in a huge karst cave, and the surrounding stone walls have obvious traces of artificial polishing, and even some strange murals and texts can be seen.
The fat man and I walked cautiously inside.
Footsteps kept ringing in the empty hole:
Knock, knock, knock.
Neither I nor the fat man spoke along the way, and our nerves were tense, because we knew that we were not pouring an ordinary fight, but a business from the underworld.
After walking for about 20 minutes, we saw a little bit of daylight, and after walking a few steps further, our vision suddenly opened up. A chain bridge made of wooden planks appeared in front of our eyes.
