Chapter 12: The Mystery Left by Grandpa
(In the previous chapter, I said that Jiao's nest, I didn't make it up, my grandfather worked as a boatman in the Yangtze River back then, and later also built the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, and also went to Hongyaxiu Hydropower Station, he has been dealing with water for a long time in his life, he has seen a Jiao, and he has also seen Jiao's nest, he described to me the appearance of that kind of nest after he retired, but the kind of nest he saw has been abandoned, so he has not seen Jiao with his own eyes, but he has seen some faded skin, a very large kind, so scared that he did not dare to approach the Yangtze River for a long time.)
Some of my novels are imaginary, and some of them are real, but I won't make it clear, it's not good, it's not good for me, it's not good for you. Just like when I was 10 years old, I traveled with my parents and had a meal in a nunnery, and I saw a chicken with human hands in the backyard, and finally a nun blasted out and closed the backyard door, and I still remember that the door was near the kitchen of the nunnery. The process was very simple, and I didn't add any color to it, and then as I grew older, I remembered the difference of the chicken, but I had forgotten where the nunnery was, and my parents seemed to have forgotten it, so I couldn't do anything more. )
Okay, let's get to the bottom line.
As the sound of the chain became clearer and clearer, and there was and there was no sound for a while, and it rang intermittently for a while, the three of us quickly passed the log under our feet, cautiously approached the entrance of the cave, and once we entered, it was as dark as ever, but the sound of the chain shaking was very obvious, and it kept echoing in the cave.
Flashlight irradiated around, after walking for a while, I suddenly found that a pitch-black thigh-thick iron chain on the cliff wall above my head was pulled down obliquely to the front, we slowly leaned in the direction of the chain, and it didn't take long to see a big pool in front of us, it was a pool in a hole, the pool was not likely to be about the same size as the usual swimming pool, and a rock protruded from the middle of the pool, and the rock was polished very flat like a terrace, and the strange thing was that the terrace was parked on a stone coffin, without any carved coffin, it looks so ordinary.
Four iron chains extend from four directions and buckle at the four corners of the coffin, as if to prevent the contents of the coffin from running out, when we really saw the coffin for a few seconds of effort to startle us, you must know that this is not an ancient tomb, but a coffin is parked here, and there is an iron chain here.
Could it be that the sound of the chains swaying came from here? The one who shook the chain was the coffin in front of him? Or is it some 'person' in the coffin?
Surprised, no one dared to step forward to find out, Dabao said: "Otherwise, let's just bypass it, in case something really comes out of it, it will be terrible." ”
I groaned and took Dabao's into account, after all, we only have two guns and dozens of bullets, not to mention whether we can deal with the guy in the coffin, in case the gunfire alarms the giant snake or Jiao that I don't know where, then the three of us will be miserable, and it will definitely become a snack in its mouth.
So Dong Bing and I agreed with Dabao's opinion, anyway, we can't see what the four chains mean by locking the coffin, let's just assume that we didn't see it. Walking briskly around the edge of the waterhole, after a few steps, the four iron chains rattled and rattled, but the amplitude of the swaying was not large.
"There's someone in the coffin!" Although we all know what may exist in the coffin, being frightened by Dabao still makes people's hairs stand on end.
Bang! Bang!
A series of irregular knocking sounds sounded from the lid of the stone coffin, as if someone inside was really knocking and trying to get out. The footsteps we had just taken couldn't help but stop at this moment, and we were very afraid that as soon as we walked on the front foot, the guy on the back foot would come out and follow behind.
Dong Bing's face was ruthless, he took out his pistol and gestured twice, and said: "If you don't open the lid of the coffin a little bit, put the muzzle of the gun in and give it a few shuttles, then you can rest assured, anyway, the opening is not big, and that guy can't climb out." ”
"Okay! Try it, just try it. ”
The method he said was very tempting, and I thought I could give it a try, anyway, I stayed behind a guy who kept knocking on the lid of the coffin, and I didn't know when I would come out.
So we turned around and walked around the pool, Dabao found a quick stone to roll into the pool and tested the depth of the water, fortunately it was not deep, and it reached the position of our waist, anyway, the clothes were wet, so I didn't hesitate anything, and walked directly into the water to the terrace in the middle.
When we got closer, we noticed that the four chains were fastened to the lid of the coffin, and as long as the four chains were pulled at the same time, the lid could be raised, but our purpose was not to open it, so we only needed to raise the head and open two cracks.
When I was worrying about how to pull up the two iron chains, Dong Bing had already found it, and a raised diamond-shaped stone brick on the side of the coffin was very conspicuous.
Looking at the lid of the coffin slowly lifted at one end, my heart was almost in my throat, I raised the pistol, the muzzle of the gun did not leave the gap that gradually opened for a moment, and when it was about a distance, Dong Bing stuck the diamond-shaped diamond and suddenly stopped with a clang, and then took out the pistol and stood with me.
He nodded at me, holding a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other, and suddenly a miserable white hand stretched out and grabbed the edge of the coffin. ”
This voice....! It's Rayhon!
I hurriedly put down the pistol and quickly turned the mechanism back on, until after opening a huge opening, Dong Bing and Dabao had already dragged Lei Hong out of it, seeing that he looked dying, he kept drinking the water handed by Dabao, patiently waiting for him to eat biscuits in a big gulp, and then he was ready to ask him when he rested for a while.
I walked to the coffin and saw a black whirring leather wrapped in a long strip of object, looking at the shape I guessed that it must be a corpse inside, I couldn't help but be curious, with the muzzle of the gun to pick open the black whirring, and with the smell of corpse skin, layer by layer uncovered, revealing a blackened dry corpse, long since the human form, nothing but the corpse.
Disappointed and ready to leave, I accidentally saw a black condensation on the back of the neck of the dried corpse, there was some reflection under the flashlight, I knew some taboos from Weizi to open the coffin and take treasure, I couldn't help but bow respectfully to the dry corpse, stared at him and did not leave for a moment, carefully pulled the mass of things in front of him with the muzzle of the gun, and reached out and quickly took it.
Got rid of the disgusting and blackened mass, washed it on the edge of the waterhole, and immediately revealed its true face, which was actually a palm-sized gold token.
On the obverse is engraved a piece of traditional Chinese characters: Fu
I didn't understand what it meant, so I turned it over and looked at the back, only to see three words standing on it that made me feel like I was struck by lightning, and those three words were a person's name, called: Xia Shuyuan.
This is my grandfather's name...... I pinched the golden token in disbelief, and slowly turned around to look at the stone coffin, why was my grandfather's name on this token, and why was the token in the coffin with the dried corpse?
Could it be ...... Is that the corpse my grandfather?
Who is the person who has been with us for more than 20 years? My mind was completely confused at this moment.
In the next second, I only heard Dong Bing shouting angrily: "Lei Hong! You are paralyzed, what about your left hand? ”
PS: It's late again, I'm sorry everyone! Tomorrow should be able to do two more! That's it for the New Year, eating everywhere.
