Chapter 19: The Strange Tomb (4)
This Hu San's broken flashlight seems to be running out of power, and he can only see a range of less than three meters at this time. There was something red in the distance, and the doorway we were in was empty except for the strange statue.
Hu San shook the flashlight and patted it with his hand again: "Damn, it's going to run out of power again." He frowned, and suddenly, several forehead lines appeared on his emaciated face.
"Who told you to buy a battery and bid for four sections for a dollar, can't you buy a better one?"
"Speaking of lightness, how can I have money?"
"Wow, what about the ten taels of silver I gave you last time?" I know very well that ten taels of silver are worth tens of thousands of yuan if they are converted into current money.
Hu San's face was the same as if he had eaten bitter gourd: "Don't mention it, let the master confiscate it." ”
This sentence made me cry and laugh, I remembered that when I first met the master, I gave him a tael of silver, when he held the silver and kissed and bit it was extremely funny, where is the kind of master in the world who may live for hundreds of years like Hu San said.
Master's personality is indeed changeable, sometimes like an old playboy, and sometimes he will put on the appearance of an elder and teach you a serious face.
Alas, at the mention of Master, Hu San showed a sad expression on his face again. But this is not the time to be sad, now that we are in this mysterious monster tomb, we may encounter danger at any time.
"There seems to be something up ahead," I said, pointing to the red object that appeared and disappeared in front of me under the flashlight.
Hu San nodded, and we tiptoed forward. After a while, it became clear that two pieces of red cloth that looked like curtains hung down from the top, overlapping in the middle, blocking our way. The red cloth moved in our direction, as if a wind was blowing from inside. The flashlight shines upward, the top is not high, and it looks like it is more than two meters, and it seems to be a cement cover plate on top.
Cement again? I wondered, what is the purpose of this person who remodeled the ancient tomb?
Hu San stepped forward, carefully stretched out his wooden sword and opened a crack in the middle of the cloth, and under the faint light of the flashlight, there was nothing except for the dust that was slightly raised.
He lifted the curtain, flashed in, and closed it again. I have a two-step distance from him, after Hu San entered, I looked at the curtain in front of me, and my heart chuckled, because Hu San went in with a flashlight, but when the curtain was closed, there was no light from the flashlight, is it because this cloth has a good light insulation effect? I hurriedly walked in, and something unexpected happened to me, Hu San was gone.
There was a thick darkness in front of me, no sound, and there was still the light of a flashlight. I'm in a hurry, Hu San shouldn't be doing any pranks at such a juncture. I shouted softly, "San'er!" ”
But there was no response, and then I shouted several more times, and it was still the same. I panicked, and quickly took out a lighter and lit it, and the soybean-sized flames emitted a faint light, and I could only see a meter away.
I felt to the side and leaned against the wall, there were no murals here, but it wasn't cement, but green bricks, and it seemed that the people who had renovated the place had just replaced the ceiling.
I shouted Hu San while cautiously touching forward.
What's going on? Could it be that something happened to Hu San? But he came in with his front foot and I followed with his back foot, and in less than two seconds, he disappeared in such a short time. I suddenly thought of that old monster, could it be that she did it? But why is there no sound at all? Even if Hu San is injured, it is impossible to be attacked by the old monster so easily, I can't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time.
I was anxious and my pace quickened a little, and I thought that this house was the same as the one next to me, but I didn't expect to walk for about two minutes and still didn't reach the end. The lighter was hot after a while, so I had to extinguish it and walk forward in the dark. It didn't take long for me to feel the wall I was holding on to become uneven, and I quickly lit the lighter, only to realize that it was another statue identical to the one in the doorway. Then I walked forward, and I found the second and third statues, wow, and there were countless statues like that lining up against the walls from here.
The light of the fire shone on their faces, and the strange eyes stared at me. The statue was so intricately made that I always wondered if the old monster's head had been cut off and pressed against the body of the meander.
At this time, I was very panicked, mainly worried about what happened to Hu San. Although we have not been together for a long time, we have a deep brotherly relationship, and if he has three strengths and two weaknesses, how should I explain to the old man when I see the master in the future.
I have touched more than a dozen statues and still haven't reached the end, I am sweating profusely, I feel that I should have walked from the door to here for several minutes, although I walked very slowly, but two or three hundred meters should be there, why is this room so big?
At this time, the statues were gone, and there was a green moss-like thing on the walls, sticky to the touch, and there was a stench, which was disgusting. I was about to put my hand on the ground, but in the firelight, I saw that the base of the wall was red, and if I looked closely, it was blood! And it's blood that hasn't dried up, and then I took a picture of it before and after with a lighter, it seems that there is a whole wall under it, and my scalp is a little numb when I see this scene, is this all the blood of the dead in the room over there?
I suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood, which made me feel very uncomfortable, but why didn't I smell it just now? But the smell came after seeing the blood?
I feel more and more that this place is full of evil spirits.
A few steps further, a dark figure loomed in front of me. I raised my vigilance, holding a lighter in my hand and slowly approached, only to realize that it was another statue. The difference is that it is not the kind of human-headed worm body, but the human-headed human body, exactly the same as the old monster, even the clothes are the same, but the body is a little shriveled. I shuddered when I saw this, he couldn't be the old monster.
I had some doubts about whether it was a statue or a real person, so I kept a certain distance and didn't dare to approach it. I observed her for a while and saw that there was no movement, so I was a little relieved, it should be a statue. I dared to get closer, and by the faint light of the fire, I could see the facts around me a little more clearly. It turned out that this place had come to an end, and in front of him was a table about a few tens of centimeters high, on which sat the statue of the old monster, and on the wall behind him was a bright mural, the content of the painting was the same as that on the coffin. I don't know why I feel a little sore when I see this colorful mural, probably because the colors are so bright.
It's the end of here, but I still haven't seen Hu San, I shouted a few times softly, but there is still no response, this kid won't let that old monster eat it!
I looked closely at the statue in front of me, but the more I looked at it, the more wrong it became.
Why is the statue so shriveled? Like a dried corpse. Could it be ......, is this a dried corpse?
I was startled by my own thoughts, it was a real jump, I jumped two meters away, and my heart began to pound. If it was a dry corpse, then she couldn't be the old monster we saw, but why is it so similar?
After calming down a little, in order to confirm whether she was a dry corpse, I had to step forward again, carefully pressed her face with my fingers, and it was sunken down when I pressed it.
