Chapter 254: The Strange Compound
My father withdrew his gaze from the cliff and turned his head to look at Wang Sihe beside him, who was still looking at the scenery in front of him in a daze. Many years later, my father described to me that it was a place like a paradise, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and people were particularly fascinated by it.
My father pulled Wang Sihe down, pointed to the small house on the cliff and said, "That may be where the old woman lives, let's go over and have a look." ”
Wang Sihe hadn't been able to completely come back to his senses at this time, he looked at the scenery in the distance with a stunned face, and asked blankly: "Brother, what kind of place is this, is that old woman a fairy?" ”
My father smacked, not knowing how to answer him, and besides, there was not much time for them to think about this at the moment, and the old woman said before coming that she had to get the baggage and go out before the third watch, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get out if she wanted to.
My father looked at the time again, and it was already 9:20, and he still had an hour and 40 minutes to go.
My father pulled Wang Sihe again and said, "Let's go, it doesn't matter what place it is, if you want to figure it out, wait until you get the baggage." As he spoke, my father took Wang Sihe's arm and stepped on the grass under his feet, and walked towards the cliff in front of him.
From afar, the mountains are colored, and the water is silent.
The two soon came to the bottom of the cliff, a big waterfall came into view, under the waterfall is a big pool, bottomless, the water fell down from a high place and splashed countless splashes in the pool, standing on the edge of the pool from time to time there will be mist-like droplets of water on the face, a burst of coolness, however, the whole waterhole is not the slightest sound, it seems a little weird. The water in the pool overflowed into a clear stream, which flowed through the cracks in the rocks into the distance.
Looking up at the mountain in front of you, although it is not high, it is extremely steep and powerful. The two of them looked at the top of the mountain and were dumbfounded, how can they go up here?
It was then that my father noticed a patch of grass on the edge of the waterhole that seemed to be staggering and staggering, as if it had been trampled on, and stretched into the distance. My father motioned for Wang Sihe to go over and take a look, and when the two of them walked over and looked down the messy grass they had turned over, it seemed to be a path that had been trampled out of the mountain, extending to the mountain, and it was winding up like a snake.
My father pulled Wang Sihe and walked along the creeping grass, which seemed to be a really uphill road, but it was getting steeper and steeper, and finally the grass was gone, leaving only the bare mountain wall.
Stop and look, the two of them have come to the halfway up the mountain, look down, the water in the pool is exceptionally clear, a circle of halos, look at the long time are dazzling, look at the top, it is still extremely steep, at this time I feel that the two people are like two small geckos sticking to the mountain wall to climb up, the two people look at each other, and they are actually smiling. Why laugh, because two people like to play thrilling and often climb those dangerous places. My father was once called crazy by more than one person because of this.
When the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain with great effort, the time was already ten o'clock, and then they found that there was also a waterhole on the top of the mountain, and the water gurgled out of the waterhole and flowed down the mountain, forming a waterfall. On the edge of the waterhole was the small house that my father had seen before.
When the two of them walked in, they found that this small house was exactly the same as the previous one, it was also a stone door, and there were two small windows on both sides. The only difference is that there is a word written on the top of the door of this small house, which seems to be the same as the word on the sign in my father's hand, which my father can barely recognize, it is an ancient seal "Yang" character, but I don't know what the meaning of the word Yang is written on the top of this door.
Wang Sihe pulled my father and motioned for my father to look down the mountain, my father turned his head and saw that there was a green sea under the whole mountain, like an ocean, and the green in the distance was almost connected with the gray and white in the sky, which looked particularly vast and magnificent. What the hell is this place? Even my grandma couldn't figure it out.
There was only an hour left, and my father didn't have time to enjoy the magnificent scenery down the mountain, so he put his hand on the stone door ring again and pushed it hard...... Suddenly, it was pitch black in front of me, as if I had lost my sight in an instant, and I couldn't see anything.
Wang Sihe screamed in fright, and my father was also startled. Because they were on the top of the mountain, neither of them dared to move, and they held each other's arms tightly.
After pausing for a while, I felt that my eyes were adjusting to the darkness, my father slowly opened his eyes, looked left and right, and the two of them seemed to have come to a corridor, looking behind him, it was pitch black, looking ahead, there seemed to be a faint light, reaching out and touching both sides, as if they were all made of stones, and then touching the top of his head, he couldn't touch the top.
Wang Sihe also opened his eyes at this time, and the two of them looked at each other, and they were stunned to the extreme again.
Wang Sihe said with a crying voice: "What kind of place is this, it's black for a while and white for a while, I knew it was like this, I wouldn't have come." As he spoke, Wang Sihe's legs trembled.
When my father saw this, he held him up and said, "There is a light ahead, let's go and see." Saying that, regardless of whether Wang Sihe agreed or not, he helped him and walked forward.
I walked in the corridor for about ten minutes, and I was cheerful in front of me, but it was still night, and the light was a little stronger than in the corridor, and the scenery around me could barely be seen.
The two of them still didn't know where to put it, and after walking forward and walking a short distance, a large hall appeared, black and only an outline.
When I got a little closer, there were still two people standing at the door of the main hall, one on each side, and then closer, and then I looked at the two people, and even my father had goosebumps on his body.
Wang Sihe almost didn't call out again, and said to my father with trembling lips: "Brother...... Cow, cow, cow head and horse......" and "noodles" could be said before my father covered his mouth.
My father was also scared at this time, the two guys standing at the door, one with a steel fork in his hand, the other with an iron chain in his hand, the one with the steel fork had a big donkey's head, and the one with the chain had a big cow's head, but their bodies were the same as people, very much like the cow head and horse face in those gods and monsters New Year's paintings!
Seeing these two, Wang Sihe was so frightened that he almost cried. At this time, my father found that the place they were in seemed to be a large courtyard, and the courtyard wall was quite high, and when he looked behind him, there was a dark gate, the gate was closed, how did the two of them get in? I don't know.
My father covered Wang Sihe's mouth with one hand and put the other around his waist and dragged him under a high wall.
Squatting under the wall covering Wang Sihe's mouth for a while, feeling that there was no movement, my father whispered to Wang Sihe: "Let go of you now, don't call it, the old woman's burden may be in this hall, let's find a way to get in, and we will leave when we get the burden." ”
When Wang Sihe heard this, he nodded vigorously, and my father slowly took his hand away from his mouth.
The two of them squatted at the base of the wall and waited for a while, but there was still no movement, my father took out his pocket watch and saw that it was 10:15, and there were only forty-five minutes left before the third watch.
My father picked up Wang Sihe and slipped around the wall to the side of the door of the main hall, and at this time he found that the two guys standing at the door were like wooden clay sculptures, and they were motionless. My father wondered, these two guys can't be stone statues, right?
Thinking of this, he could scratch up the ground under his feet, and he stroked a few times, and touched a thing for him, which felt like a dead tree root, and without looking at it, he picked it up and threw it at the ground in front of the entrance of the main hall.
There was a crisp sound, and the dead branch fell to pieces on the ground. However, when I looked at the two guys at the door, it was as if they didn't hear or see at all, and they still didn't move.
This is strange, are these two really two stone statues?
My father could land on the ground again, and after a few strokes, he touched a dead tree root again, but this time before my father threw it out, Wang Sihe on the side said in horror: "Brother, you, whose arm are you taking!" ”
"What?" As soon as he heard this, my father hurriedly glanced at the dead tree root in his hand, and was almost out of his body in fright, and saw that where was the dead tree root in his hand, it was clearly a small arm, and there was a scratching palm on the arm, how scary it was.
My father threw his arm on the ground, and with a "snap", his arm shattered and fell apart. My father, while his heart was pounding, he glanced worriedly at the two fellows at the entrance of the main hall, and saw that the two fellows were still motionless.
My father breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at the limbs of several people, arms and thighs. Wang Sihe also found out at this time, Teng jumped up from the ground, my father looked at it, and said in his heart, this is a big trouble, you have to alarm the two bulls and horses at the door.
Wang Sihe didn't say anything at this time, jumped up and ran towards the gate of the yard, my father wanted to stop him, but couldn't. I didn't care about anything, so I got up from the root of the wall and chased him.
Wang Sihe also seemed to understand that the gate of the compound might be the way out, but when he ran to the door, he was dumbfounded, because the gate suddenly moved, and it was originally in front of Wang Sihe, but it moved to his right hand.
Wang Sihe paused, turned his feet and ran to the right hand side, and when he was about to run to the door, the door suddenly moved to his left hand side, Wang Sihe chased again, and the door moved again, as if he was alive, anyway, it was not to let Wang Sihe next to it. When my father saw it, it seemed like the door didn't want them to go out.
In this situation, my father and Wang Sihe were both a little dumbfounded, but one thing to be thankful for is that the two bull-headed horses at the entrance of the main hall seem to be really two stone sculptures, and they have not moved from beginning to end.
Wang Sihe seemed to be a little crazy at this time, running back and forth after the door, screaming and scolding in his mouth. Seeing this, my father hurriedly ran over to grab him and said loudly: "Sihe, don't chase it, wait until we find the baggage." ”
Wang Sihe glanced back at my father, and said with a sad face: "Brother, what kind of baggage are we looking for, we can't get out!" ”
My father put his arm around his shoulder, and my father could clearly feel that Wang Sihe was trembling up and down at this time. In this case, to be honest, no one knows who is afraid.
My father said, "That old woman won't harm us, let's find the burden first, there will definitely be a way out." ”
At this time, time is running out, my father has no time to comfort Wang Sihe, in his heart, just a belief, find the burden, maybe find the burden can find a way out, if you really can't get out, then the old woman still calls the two of herself to take the burden What are you doing, isn't this harming the two of you? Besides, my own family also does this, people like us, there are people in the dark to protect them, and it is a big taboo to harm our peers, and it is not good to be directly punished, and in this special era, it is too late for peers to help each other, and they will never start with each other.
My father dragged Wang Sihe by the way, turned around, and resolutely walked towards the main hall......
