Chapter 142: Ice Cellar
Welcome to Guanshu Network:
Snow mountaineering is not as energy-consuming as outdoor sports, and everyone is still carrying heavy equipment on their backs, stepping on the ground, and the boots under their feet keep making a "creaking, creaking" sound.
Because this white expanse emits most of the sun's heat, even in such a state of motion, the lips are frozen purple. Fortunately, none of them were too delicate, and all of them were humming and trying to climb up.
Chaozi and Takuo, a pair of scouts with a lot of experience in the snow, predicted the course of the way, because the ground was so full of snow that it was impossible to see that it was a bulging rock, which could easily cause landslides and cause small-scale avalanches.
The trekking pole was the only way to find the way, and after inserting himself into the snow in front of him, feeling that it was flat ground, he took a step, "Ah! A scream came, only to see Comrade He Yichao's hands waving in the air, and disappeared into the snow in an instant, and Cha Wenbin behind wanted to pull where was too late, leaving only the broken snow flakes brought up by Chaozi still flying in the air.
A few people hurriedly gathered around to take a look, good guy, a big black hole in the snow hung straight into the ground, presumably Chaozi's foot just now was empty, and the whole person was swallowed up by this snow-covered cave.
Cha Wenbin hurriedly climbed to the entrance of the cave and shouted below: "Chaozi, how are you?" ”
There was no echo below, and when I took the spotlight handed over by Lao Wang, it was so dark that I couldn't see what the situation was. He wanted to go down and take a look in a hurry, so he took off the burden and put it aside, but Zhuo Xiong reacted very quickly and stopped: "Brother Wenbin, don't worry, I'll find out if there are any holes around, so as not to make a mess and fall down again." ”
Lao Wang nodded yes, Zhuo Xiong took the trekking pole and now probed around, and Cha Wenbin over there had already prepared the hiking rope. Fortunately, he didn't find any other collapses around for the time being, Cha Wenbin found a cedar tree, tied the rope and prepared to go down.
When Zhuo Xiong was arguing with Cha Wenbin about who would go down first, he only heard a moan of "ouch, ouch" from below, and Cha Wenbin hurriedly asked, "How are you, Chaozi, have you broken it?" ”
When I heard the shouting below, I immediately shouted: "I fell on my back just now, but I feel that it is difficult to breathe, and my butt hurts, ouch......" This kid called down again.
Cha Wenbin hurriedly grabbed the rope and shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll come down immediately." ”
This hole is about twenty meters deep, and Cha Wenbin, who was only worried about the safety of Chaozi, didn't have time to take care of the surrounding situation, and he arrived below after a while. Chaozi was lying on a pair of withered pine leaves moaning, and it seemed that this kid was really not light. Then Zhuo Xiong also came down, he has experience in wilderness rescue, and knows a little about emergency treatment.
After checking He Yichao again, fortunately, the clothes were thickly dressed, and there were pine branches underneath, that is, he was broken, and after applying some medicine and drinking a few sips of water, Chaozi slowly recovered.
As soon as this kid opened his mouth, he said: "He***, which bastard dug a hole in this ghost place, and the grandfather who killed him almost fell to death, I think Bacheng is a wild boar trap under the group of farmers above, but I didn't expect to calculate me, and I have to find them to theorize after a while." ”
Zhuo Xiong smiled: "Your wild boar trap will dig so deep? If you are not careful when you walk, it is not bad if you don't fall to your death. ”
Seeing that this kid is fine, Cha Wenbin then remembered to look at this cave, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, he really scares himself when he looks up, what will scare him? Dead person!
Dead people will scare Cha Wenbin, so have you ever seen a frozen dead person?
This cave is surrounded by ice, the light is not walking, it is a mirror, and in this layer of mirrors, Cha Wenbin suddenly found a few smiling faces, the smile is stiff, and there is more than one!
Just within their line of sight, at the bottom of this cave, there are four smiling faces, this kind of smile is the kind of skin that we say as we say, the smile is very unnatural, and the boss who still kicks his eyes looks at them. Some people can see more clearly when they are a little thinner from the ice, especially a child-like person who sticks his palm outward on the ice. From their point of view, it was like a little boy locked out of the glass door, banging on the glass, ready to come in at any moment.
Not only Cha Wenbin saw it, but they all saw it at this time, no living person can live in the ice, needless to say, it must be four dead people.
"God, Brother Wen Bin, what kind of situation is this, how is it ...... here" Chaozi looked at those things and his scalp suddenly became numb, thinking that he fell down and was watched by such a group of friends, the feeling in his heart was really uncomfortable.
Cha Wenbin just stood there and looked around, and said: "I don't know, it looks like they are all dead, but this looks too much like being alive, as if they were instantly put into ice when they were alive, and it is the first time they have seen such a strange thing when they are so old." ”
Lao Wang saw that no one came up for a long time, so he shouted loudly: "Hey, what's going on down there?" ”
Cha Wenbin heard this and replied: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll take a look at some of the circumstances first, and I'll go up immediately." After speaking, he said to Zhuo Xiong: "You take Chaozi up first, and I will come later." ”
Although Zhuo Xiong also vaguely felt a little uneasy, it was not a pleasant thing to stay in the cold and biting cellar, not to mention that there was a group of inexplicable people staring at you around, and you didn't want to stay for a minute just thinking about it. After setting up Chaozi, he helped him to the edge of the rope and asked, "Can you climb by yourself?" ”
Chaozi laughed dryly: "You underestimate me too much, it's okay, then Brother Wenbin, I'll go up first, you also hurry up and get up, don't look at that thing, be cautious." ”
"Hmm." After Cha Wenbin answered, Chaozi pulled a rope, saw that it was very strong, and climbed up with his hands and feet, taking advantage of this gap Zhuo Xiong asked: "Brother Wenbin, what kind of people do you say these are, they look strange and pitiful." ”
Except for the child, these people were a little shorter than modern people, but they were very muscular, and the clothes they wore were all animal skins, and they didn't look very elaborately made, just wrapped in raw skins. These people's hair is long, their beards are not shaved, and they don't wear shoes on their feet but barefoot soles. It's just that the people inside the ice are so well preserved that they can't really see the exact time on the outside, as if they are alive.
Cha Wenbin shook his head and said: "I can't see it, it doesn't matter, it's important to go up the mountain first, go to the village and find a few fellows to ask, they should know about such a big hole." ”
Chaozi shouted when he was not far from the mouth: "Come up quickly, there are more corpses in this cave than cow hair, all along the way, don't stay." ”
Hearing Chaozi say this, Cha Wenbin's curiosity, which had been dispelled, was rekindled again, and while urging Zhuo Xiong, he simply put his face on the ice and observed it carefully.
The spotlight provided by this Lao Wang is really good, a powerful light instantly penetrates the ice, illuminating the inside transparently, and a word suddenly pops up in Cha Wenbin's mind: "Amber!" ”
This amber is a precious relic of nature, which means that trees secrete a gum that just envelops a passing bug, and this worm will not rot forever because it falls into this gum so that the space is isolated. As the geological movement continues to change, the gum gradually condenses and hardens, forming a transparent mineral close to stony, but the billions of young insects are still alive in it. This natural amber is very valuable, and it is a precious treasure for all generations.
Now the people in this cave are frozen in ice one by one, aren't they just like amber? But so many corpses are arranged in a regular manner, and it is definitely not a natural formation, someone must have done it deliberately.
So why do you do this? When Cha Wenbin was puzzled, he suddenly thought that if the ancestors here used a kind of funeral ritual that had never been seen in the Central Plains, that is, put the dead people into a realized cube container, and then move them outside, because the perennial low temperature here will soon condense into ice, and then transport it here to pile up, so that the body can be preserved and buried. Of course, this is all just speculation, and he named this burial method ice burial, but why do people here have different facial expressions instead of the sleeping state that normal people appear after death? And there is also a wealth of body movements, which obviously does not make sense.
Cha Wenbin, who closed his eyes, felt the surroundings with his heart, he did not find any signs of a soul, nor did he feel a ghost, and he was as calm as his sweet potato cellar. Since this is the case, it is better to have more than one thing, Cha Wenbin saw that Zhuo Xiong was also on the top, tied the rope around his waist and shouted: "Pull me up!" ”
Several people above pulled the rope together, Cha Wenbin was slowly lifted, and his eyes began to show faces with different expressions: serene, frightened, sad, happy, asleep, in short, you can find all kinds of expressions here, and without exception, all of them are men!
When he was halfway there, he caught a glimpse of a man who was not wearing a animal skin and was also frozen in it, but just one glimpse surprised Cha Wenbin: there was a red mark on the man's chest!
That trace Cha Wenbin is no longer familiar with, because another brother who gets along with him day and night has exactly the same tattoo on his chest, that is, the tattoo on Zhuo Xiong's chest: red Ying Long!
