Chapter 18: Tattoos
I waited in trepidation for Gao Si to press the shutter, and it felt like a death row prisoner waiting to be executed. Unexpectedly, at this time, Gao Sishou suddenly shouted: "Damn!"
The body and mind were already tense, and the sudden shout of the high fourth hand made me almost fall to the ground, and the high fourth hand was rarely startled, unless he really encountered something that he did not expect, I could not imagine it. Of course, at this time, the brain can't think about it, and the brain is already blindfolded by the senior senior shout. However, it was still a reflex that almost blurted out, "What's wrong?" "I was so excited that I almost didn't bite my tongue.
Gao Sishou didn't answer me, his expression was full of solemnity. He told me to turn around, and stroked my back and forth with his hand, so close that there was a slow, heavy breath of the tall four hands coming from my back. As a man, it feels so awkward to be caressed like this by someone who is also a man, and the movements are so gentle.
It reminds me of a TV show where chimpanzees help their companions find lice. These tall four hands won't look at it and suddenly stick out their tongues to lick it, right? I rub! When will I be able to change my cranky problem? It's no wonder that I often have hallucinations in my head, and if this continues, I'm not far from being neurotic.
Just thinking about it, Gao Sishou stopped and muttered, "How can this be?" "I can't understand what he meant by 'this', when did this old bastard learn to go around in circles. I asked him what the hell was wrong? He still didn't answer me, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
looked at Brother Xiaoma, he was more confused than me, but fortunately the third child came out of the tent at this time, fiddling with the camera as he walked. I hurriedly beckoned to him, "Don't look at it, come over first to see what's going on with me!" ”
The third child came over to take a look, and he was also shocked, I was used to it, and said angrily: "Don't be surprised, just tell me what's wrong!" ”
The third child looked at me strangely, looking like a child who had done something wrong, a little innocent and a little incomprehensible. "Gone, the tattoo on your back is gone"
"What!" My brain buzzed, my scalp went numb, and I almost didn't jump. Gao Si held me down with his hand and said, "Don't get excited, what do you say?" The tattoo on your back did exist just now, but it's also true that it's gone. ”
Listening to Gao Sishou say this, I calmed down a little, and imagined all kinds of possibilities in my heart. For a while, everyone was silent, and I took the camera from the third child, who had already turned over the strange photo.
This is a photo of only one arm, which is a bit dark, and it is obvious from the lines and muscles that it is a man's arm. If you only finger the arm, it's very ordinary. However, the tattoo on my arm and the inexplicable appearance in my camera made me puzzled.
Let's look at this tattoo, this tattoo on the triceps. The first thing that catches your eye is a set of numbers - 006. At the top of the number is a standard circle about two centimeters in diameter. The inside of the circle is empty, and outside the circle are scattered red dots little by little, which is a bit like the Buddha's light and a bit like the sun.
The whole tattoo is blood red, and if I judge it by my personal aesthetics, this tattoo is very monotonous, and the tattoo is also very rough, and it seems that it was made by non-professionals.
Whose arm is this? Who took this photo? And how did it end up in my camera? And when did it appear in my camera? Does it appear to express or imply something? Suddenly, all kinds of questions appeared in my mind. It is clear to me that I have never taken such a photo.
Just when I was secretly sad and wanted to find out if there were any other clues, my heart jumped, I wiped it! Another photo with only one arm! This time, I'm learning to be obedient, let's see if there are any other photos like this in the back.
So, I eagerly continued to scroll down. Without the camera, I jumped straight to the first photo. I didn't give up and went through all the photos, and there were still no other similar or strange photos. This is going to force me into cerebral palsy! I rub!
Unlike the first photo, the arm shown in the second photo is slightly yellow, not very muscular, and looks slimmer compared to the first one. That is, it's a woman's arm!
Similarly, the arm in the second photo has a tattoo, the same tattoo on the triceps, the same blood red, the same set of numbers, the same monotonous and rough tattoo.
The difference is that the number is - 007 (Could it be that the owner is a copycat agent?) )。 The numbers are tattooed in the shape of a waning crescent.
Looks like it's still a series!
I had a headache and handed the camera to Gao Sishou to see if he could read something from it. Actually, all the strange things happened in a week that my memory was blank. The disappearance of parents, mutilated human skin rolls, this strange photo. Oh yes! And the pus-covered monster that appeared in my head from time to time.
I don't care about anything else, I just want to know, where are my parents? Is it life or death? Why did they tell me to be careful, and told me not to call the police, and didn't give me more clues, tips? The third child patted me on the shoulder and handed me a 'don't think too much' look.
I rubbed my temples on both sides, grinned reluctantly, nodded, and gave him a 'got it' look.
At this time, Gao Sishou put down the camera, muttered and said: "Brother Shao, if you want to know the meaning of the tattoo, we must know the function of the tattoo." So, what do you know about the role of tattoos? ”
I thought about it, "Deterrence, beauty, personality," I said. The tattoo in the photo should show personality and talk about the past, but it is far from deterrent and beautiful. Gao Sishou nodded and smiled: "We modern people call it 'tattoo' and in ancient times it was called 'tattoo'. ”
With a wave of his hand, he took us to a clean, flat place to sit down and continued: "Actually, you just missed a point, and tattoos also have the function of 'marking identity'. For example, in this photo, it is a kind of identity. Of course, what is the identity of the person to belong to, and who is it? We don't know. ”
Gao Sishou unscrewed the kettle and took a sip and continued: "As far as the tattoo on this photo is concerned, I don't need to pull out any ancient tattoos to talk about things, but, just because of you, I have to mention it."
I interrupted him as soon as I could. "Why?" Gao Si waved his hand and motioned for me not to interrupt him. He said: "Ancient tattoos have more to express than modern ones, such as tattoos on the face like prisoners, and the worship of totems by some ancient races, etc."
I almost wanted to interrupt him again and ask him, what does this have to do with me? But I held back. Gao Sishou continued: "I know you want to ask what it has to do with you. I smiled embarrassedly, "Don't you remember you have a tattoo on your back?" "High four-hand hand.
Oh, how did I forget this stubble, is it called a tattoo on my back? Was it an ancient stab? Don't talk nonsense! Then I'm not a sperm?
Gao Sishou seemed to know what I was thinking. "Although the one on your back is a modern tattoo, judging from what I just saw, it should be the totem of the ancient nation!" I groaned in my heart, totem?! Gao Sishou groaned and said: "However, what is strange to me is that the ancient totems are either flowers or some kind of animal or something, but yours is boxy, which makes me feel like a big seal."
In the end, Gao Sishou seemed to be determined, nodded and said, "Yes!" It's a big seal! He waved his hand helplessly, "I wanted to take a closer look, but now it's gone." With that, he stuck his head over to see if the tattoo on my back would pop up again.
Looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was gone. To be honest, I'm still skeptical of what Gao Sishou said, after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Although the third child also said that there was, maybe they were both wrong? Maybe it's because my blood vessels dilate after a strenuous exercise? If so, what is the matter with the disappearance now? Could it be that the tattoo still has long feet?
There was another silence, and the senior clapped his hands and called us out of our hearts. He said, "Forget it, the best thing to do if you can't figure it out is not to think about it." Because, even if you think about it, you won't figure it out, the boat goes straight to the bridge. ”
He waved his hand again: "Everyone, it will be dark in a few hours, I am going to go into the cave and rest again, if I rest here, I will not be able to keep those crutches in trouble again at night." Let's eat something and get ready, and we'll be pulling out in an hour! ”
What Gao Sishou said is not unreasonable, since this is the case, then take one step at a time. I cleaned up the chaos and woke up the madman. I wanted to tease him while he was asleep, but in the end I was in no mood to give up.
When sorting out the equipment, he asked Gao Sishou in a crazy joke, "Brother Gao, will there be the 'zongzi' you mentioned in it?" ”
Gao Sishou scolded with a smile: "You've watched too many movies, haven't you?" Do you think that 'zongzi' can be produced in batches like a commodity, like rotten cabbage? To form a 'zongzi' for at least a hundred years! It also depends on a certain environment. Besides, we are entering a 'treasure cave' this time, and it is impossible for there to be a 'zongzi'. ”
After an hour, we were all ready to keep our weight to a minimum. The raft could only carry a maximum of two people, and Gao Sishou and Mad Da arrived on the opposite bank first, and the three of us stared at the pond in case Ma Guan appeared again. Luckily, until we all entered the cave, Ma Gu didn't reappear.
Gao Sishou went up the rope ladder first, and after more than half an hour, he gestured and said 'OK' to go up. Crazy big followed, the second team was me and the third, and Brother Ma was behind.
The third child got on the raft first, and just as I was about to sit on it together, Brother Ma grabbed me, leaned over my ear and whispered, "Kind, the bird hugs tight"
