Chapter 19 No Good Death
We began to trek through the crevices of the rocks, which were rather slow because of the steep slope and the narrow gaps, and because of the heavy loads we carried on us. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In some places, two boulders were sandwiched between two sides, forming a narrow tunnel like a narrow strip, and with the shade of the foliage overhead, visibility dropped sharply, and a flashlight had to be taken out of the bag for lighting. This kind of tunnel is like a "ray of sky" formed by rock cracks, compared with that kind of magical landform, it is like a pocket version, the higher you climb, the more the distribution of rocks, and the more irregular.
After all, Lao Yang escaped from the shaft, and his mental state was almost collapsed, and he didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment at all, and only cared about escaping from the demon cave as soon as possible, so at this time, he didn't have a specific route in his mind, but only knew the general direction, saying that after passing through the rocks, there would be a flat land, and then there would be a sunken mountain wall, and the shaft cave was somewhere at the foot of the mountain wall.
After climbing for a long time, Lao Yang, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped moving forward for some reason, and the whole person was stunned, with his back to me, blocking my vision, and I didn't know what he was observing.
Before I could ask him, I heard him say "Huh" and say:
"That's right, I remember this location very clearly, these two rocks are shaped like two cows, I was very impressed, why did I suddenly have no way here?"
I asked him to tilt his body slightly to the side, trying to see what was going on in front of him. I took a flashlight through the gap that Lao Yang let out, and I saw a boulder blocking our way, the stone was not outrageously big, just a few hundred catties, but it looked like it had just rolled down.
I looked a little strange at first glance and said to Lao Yang:
"It's not raining lately, so why did you suddenly roll a stone down from it, and it was impartial, just blocking the gap in our progress, this ...... That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? ”
Lao Yang turned his head undeniably, looked up, and said:
"Why don't we climb to the top of the rocks with a rope and see if we can get around."
I said that there is only this way now, but in this way, it will take a lot of time, and I don't know if the cemetery will really be haunted.
I grumbled a few words, but I pulled the rope out of my bag and began to tie it the way I knew. To get around here, you have to climb the boulder in front of you, but the angle of distribution of the boulder is very tricky, and in some places it is more than 90 degrees, which is not only troublesome to climb, but also very dangerous.
Yang Xue suggested that we should go back the same way and enter from another direction. But Lao Yang immediately objected, saying that in this way, when we arrived at the mouth of the shaft, I was afraid that it would be three watches in the middle of the night, which was very unsafe, so we still found a way to climb the rocks, as long as we bypassed these stones, it would be much easier to walk behind.
I got the rope and found a way to fix it to the rock, and hurriedly taught my brother and sister some climbing techniques. Yang Xue already has experience in outdoor adventure, and she can understand it after a little explanation. But Lao Yang is different, he was trapped in a cave at a young age, his life experience is very scarce, and he is quite unfamiliar with the use of various tools and instruments. I told him a few times, but he still didn't get the point, so I had to let him wait where he was, and when Yang Xue and I both climbed up, put a rope down and dragged him up.
With the arrangement set, I began to climb up with difficulty, and due to the slope, I was walking quite slowly. It took me nearly ten minutes to climb to the top of the rocks, and after standing on the high point, I subconsciously glanced up, but there were still rocks in front of me, and I didn't know how far away I was from the location of the cave entrance. With my help, Yang Xue also quickly climbed up, she stood next to me on the top of the rock, suddenly, she pulled me hard, and said in my ear in surprise:
"I don't know if I'm mistaken, but I seem to catch a glimpse of a shadow flashing through a crack in the rock above."
As she spoke, she only showed me the direction, the crack in the rock was still a few dozen meters away from us, and I didn't find anything unusual, but I always felt a little strange in my heart, and I couldn't say it. I asked her not to be suspicious at the moment, and quickly help pull Lao Yang up, the sky is about to get dark, and it is bound to increase a lot of difficulty in walking between such rocks in the dark.
The three of us climbed up the rock, lowered the rope, and then continued to climb up the crevice in the rock. Until it was completely dark, we still didn't get out of the mess, at this time, Lao Yang began to be a little anxious, saying that it was still dark unexpectedly, it seems that some things are predestined, and asked me to take out those few ghost-suppressing runes from my backpack in case of accidents.
I said it's not that serious, this is not a murderous house, it can't be haunted as soon as it gets dark, right?
Lao Yang didn't answer, Wu took out the rune paper from my backpack and sent two to me and Yang Xue, the atmosphere was both weird and a little funny.
But for the next two hours, I couldn't laugh, because no matter how hard we tried, it was like this pile of rocks that we couldn't finish. I asked if Yang was mistaken, or if he had underestimated the distance between the rocks and said that the time required was too little. Lao Yang was silent, his appearance became more and more strange, and later, he showed a very anxious look, and said vaguely:
"Maybe, maybe I'm mistaken, no! The location is right, the problem should be the distance. ”
Yang Xue reassured us, saying that we would not get lost in this kind of place, after all, the area covered by this mess of rocks is not very large, and we only need to climb a random stone to see the woods at the end of the commanding heights. It's just that we really have to continue in the dark, should we find a slightly wider space to rest for the night, and then climb up when the day dawns.
Lao Yang immediately rejected this suggestion, and the whole person began to tremble, saying that he must not spend the night in this kind of place, and he didn't know what would happen.
Lao Yang was very stubborn, we had to continue to crawl up, finally, after climbing for more than an hour, the rocks in front of us gradually became scarce, and soon entered a dense forest.
Strictly speaking, the forest is not dense, with sparse trees growing around it, and even wild grass is very scarce. Lao Yang looked at the terrain and said with a little excitement:
"That's right, it's here, and if you climb up for about half an hour, you should be there!"
I listened to Lao Yang's tone, he didn't seem to be sure, I wondered if he himself was confused by these scattered rocks, but as long as he climbed up and looked at the destination, the mystery would naturally be revealed. We didn't go far before we noticed a raised ancient tomb in a slightly flat place, and there seemed to be a stone monument standing in front of it. Yang Xue was bold enough, so she wanted to go over and see what was written on the stele, so I hurriedly grabbed her and said that there was nothing to see about it, it was nothing more than a record of the names of some family members of the deceased before his death and some other messy things, which had nothing to do with the goal of our trip, so don't look for bad luck.
But Yang Xue was very insistent and said that you just wait for me in the same place, and I will come back after watching for a minute. I had to let her go and let her pass. After Yang Xue passed, she first checked the shape of the tomb bag, and then squatted down to see the contents of the stone tablet in front of the tomb. When I looked at her, I was a little hairy, and she was squatting in front of a grave, with her back to us, like a female ghost, and I don't know when she turned a horrible grimace and scared me half to death.
But all this is just my imagination, after all, when I find a deserted ancient tomb in the middle of the night in the wilderness, I will feel a little scared and can't help but think about it.
When Yang Xue walked back, her expression was a little wrong, as if she had found something abnormal, she said to us with a little hesitation:
"I don't know if I should tell you or not, it's a little scary......
I nervously asked her:
"That'...... So what's written on it? ”
Yang Xue replied:
"It records some of the life deeds of the owner of the tomb and the names of the descendants of the family, but don't be afraid, it says that the owner of the tomb is a woman in the Qing Dynasty, because she cheated with her husband behind her back, she was caught and immersed in a pig cage and drowned alive. The person who erected the monument was the woman's husband, saying that this woman was not worthy of being buried in the ancestral grave of his own family, and he also engraved some very vicious curses, which probably meant burying her here, and using earth and water to make her immortal......"
Lao Yang didn't seem to be anything, but I heard it with my hairs standing on end, and even Yang Xue's tone of voice trembled, I always felt weird, thinking that in the middle of the night, the third watch encountered such a lonely tomb, and the owner of the grave died so miserably, and was cursed so viciously after death, it was really ......
I said to them, "Let's get out of here quickly, and I don't think it's appropriate to discuss other people's gossip in front of their graves......"
We quickly left the lonely tomb with a cold back, and we didn't think that we had just gone far and found a new ancient tomb, and there was also a stone tablet in front of the tomb, which recorded a death row prisoner who was burned at the stake by the villagers for murder, but according to the current point of view, this guy was lynched, and there must be no less resentment in his heart, and he was a murderer before his death, and he must be a very vicious person.
I said a bad word, and hurriedly let them continue to go up, and now there were several graves in succession, and stone tablets were erected in front of the graves, which recorded in detail the cause of death of the deceased and the sins committed during his lifetime, and why they were buried in this place, etc., some were hanged, beheaded to death, beaten to death, and even died by five horses, although their deaths were very different, but they had a very consistent commonality, that is:
All of them are not good to die. (To be continued.) )
