Chapter 39: Village Fossils
Lu Dachuan squeezed back from the front: "He didn't follow up?" ”
Zhang Xiaohu touched his head: "I'll wait for no one to come in on the stone platform." ”
"Are you sure?"
"Sure! Where the butt of the stone platform is big, I won't be blind to someone. ”
"Turn off the flashlight, and everyone squat on the ground and don't move. I'll go out and have a look. Lu Dachuan turned off his flashlight and walked towards the entrance of the cave in the dark.
"I'll go with you." I followed him.
We didn't go far, and soon we reached the entrance of the cave. On the opposite stone platform, there is a huge pillar of light rotating in the belly of the mountain, and the scenery on the stone platform on this side is still faintly recognizable. We slowly stuck our heads against the wall of the cave.
I whispered, "Do you think they can find the mechanism?" ”
"The stone platform is only that big, if they find out that we are coming, they will find it sooner or later." Lu Dachuan said and looked around his side and said, "Let's see if there is anyone behind the stone pillar over there?" ”
I leaned out and said, "No." ”
Suddenly, there was a shout of "wah-wah" from the opposite side, followed by the sound of "da-da-da" and the sound of "pop" and "pop" single shots.
The two of us looked at the opposite side together, and clearly saw several people on the stone platform opposite, with guns, shooting at dozens of huge black shadows flying up and down in the air.
I really sweated when I saw it, not for them, but for ourselves: "Fortunately, the stone bridge appeared in time, otherwise with such fierce firepower, even if we have a gun, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it for three minutes......"
The fight on the other side was in full swing, and I couldn't help but ask Lu Dachuan to come to the telescope and carefully watch this realistic version of the rain of bullets. Put on the binoculars, and the scene on the opposite side was immediately pulled into front of me, only to see King Kong kneeling on one leg, screaming, holding his M16 and shooting at the human-faced bat flying like a leaf in the air like a raging wind. Two of his guys with Mk5 submachine guns on his left and right shot in the same position. The slain bat snowflake fell into the deep valley as if it were falling, and the injured flapped its wings in an arc and swooped down even more fiercely.
The owner of the glasses crouched at the entrance of the cave, watched the black bats outside more and more, and shouted, "You guys retreat." ”
King Kong and the others retreated into the cave while shooting back, leaning over the wall of the cave, letting the two accomplices with cylinders on their backs walk to the entrance of the cave.
When I saw the cylinders on their backs, I wondered why they were carrying oxygen without diving. But I heard Lu Dachuan say: "Fuck! They actually carried flamethrowers! ”
"It turned out to be a flamethrower." I muttered, and then I saw the owner of the glasses tilt his neck and shout, "Are you ready?" ”
The two guys with the cylinders on their backs nodded, and when the boss waved his hand, they rushed out of the cave, lying on the stone platform on the left and right, and lit the flamethrower in their hands, and two mushroom-shaped flames instantly sprayed into the swirling bat swarm. The dense bats immediately exploded and retreated sharply to the sides of the canyon. The terrible "hehe" laughter was gone, replaced by even more terrifying screams.
Suddenly, a wave of heat mixed with a strong stench of burnt paste rushed towards him. Lu Dachuan and I couldn't help but cover our mouths and noses.
I couldn't bear to be so far away. The owner of the glasses didn't seem to care about this, only to see him walk out of the hole, stand up straight, look at the huge fireballs in the air that are up and down, left and right, and a bright mountain belly reflected by the fireballs, and exclaim: "It's spectacular! ”
After a few minutes, not a single bat in the air that had not been burned by the fire was nowhere to be seen, and those that were on fire no longer struggled and fell into the valley.
Human-faced bats are hateful, but I still feel a little cruel when I look at all this. And their eyes were cast into the valley with a flaming fireball like a beautiful sunset.
As the fireball fell, I suddenly saw the stone bridge that was lowered by us, and I was shocked, and I just wanted to say to Lu Dachuan, "It's broken!" They found the bridge. There was already an excited shout from the opposite side: "Boss, come and see, the bridge, there is a bridge underneath!" ”
The Glasses Boss took two steps forward, looked down in the direction of his fingers to the bottom of the valley, the burning bat corpses had turned into small stars, too dark to see below, and he shouted, "Searchlight!" ”
King Kong turned his searchlight to the bottom. The owner of the glasses walked to the protruding place of the stone platform, bent down and lay on the ground, looked around for a while, stood up and walked back to the center of the stone platform, swept back and forth on the two serpentine stone pillars at the entrance of the cave with a flashlight, and then walked to the stone pillar on the left, looked carefully, and pinched here and there.
I was secretly surprised: "What a shit day! ”
The glasses boss looked at the one on the left, frowned and walked to the right, and when he turned to the back of the stone pillar, his eyes stayed on the root of the horn on the top of the snake's head, "King Kong." He shouted without looking up.
King Kong walked up to him, straightened up and pointed to the horns and said, "Try pulling back and forth." ”
King Kong was a little puzzled, but he still pulled up the horns according to what the boss said, "Boss, you can ......move" As soon as he spoke, he felt a vibration under his feet, and "Zazaza" sounded in his ears.
Seeing that they found out the location of the agency so quickly, how can we still have the heart to watch the excitement. Lu Dachuan grabbed my arm and turned my head to run into the cave.
Someone turned on the flashlight when we heard our footsteps.
Lu Dachuan gasped and said, "Cover your flashlight and go inside." ”
They heard a gunshot outside, and they couldn't figure out what was happening, and when they heard Lu Dachuan say this, they knew that the gang was chasing after them, and they were running faster than the other.
The cave was much shorter than expected, and we reached the end in a few minutes. The entrance of the cave is open on a cliff, Lu Dachuan climbed to the ground and leaned out of the cave to observe, got up and said: "The entrance of the cave is twenty-five to thirty meters high from the ground, there is no object to climb, we can only use ropes to go down." ”
Daddy Boba was blocked behind, stretched out his head and said, "Thirty meters, it's not difficult to go down." The question is what's going on below. ”
"Daddy," Lu Dachuan said as he found Daddy Boba through the cracks in the human slit, "and all you can see below is a huge black stone connected to it. ”
Liu Changleg and I searched among the huge rocks with a flashlight.
"Strange! The more I look down, the more I look like a village. Liu Changleg said to himself.
"The place where the ancestors of the big-headed villain lived should have been a village!" I pointed to Liu Changleg with a flashlight, "Look, the circle in front of that long big stone is clearly the courtyard wall." ”
"Well," Liu Changleg nodded, "It's like a courtyard wall." ”
"Where?" Lu Dachuan turned his head.
"That!" I pointed it out to him with Liu Changjiao.
Lu Dachuan's flashlight also focused there, and he saw it more clearly, and he muttered: "It's true, but why do you see all the stones instead of the houses?" ”
"Maybe those stones are the houses." I said, "Think about it, and think of all the things we saw when we went into the belly of the mountain that were not stone." ”
Lu Dachuan thought about it, whether it was a huge wheel, or a bridge several meters wide and dozens of meters long, it seemed that it was all made of a single stone.
Liu Changleg said again: "I have looked carefully, everything is natural, and I can't find any traces of carving." Including the four serpentine statues. ”
"Well," Lu Dachuan pondered, "but why don't you see the doors and windows?" ”
I shook my head: "I don't understand it either. Maybe something happened that we couldn't have imagined......"
Lu Dachuan turned to look at everyone and said, "I can't care so much now, let's talk about it later." ”
Liu Fashan, Zhang Xiaohu, and Liu Changleg acted quickly, took the rope, fixed the pitons, and buckled the safety buckle...... Soon, two ropes, one main and one auxiliary, hung down to the bottom of the mountain. I watched them every step of the way while I looked at the flashlight.
Lu Dachuan took his sister's backpack, took out a sleeping bag from it, and fiddled with it to fasten the seat belt. Everyone looked at him in bewilderment.
"Don't be stunned," he said, looking up at us all looking at him, "tie the rope and go down to see if there is any danger below, and help hang Dorjee down." ”
It dawned on us.
"I'll go first." Liu Changleg said as he went to grab the rope.
"You have an injury on your shoulder," Zhang Xiaohu grabbed Liu Chang's leg and said, "I'll go first." ”
"It's not a problem."
"Liu Peng, don't fight, let Xiaohu go down first, you second."
Zhang Xiaohu hung up the rope, turned off the flashlight in his pocket, took out the headlamp and put it on, dropped his buttocks, and his feet were gone. Liu Chang's legs shone on the flashlight, and when he saw him fall to the ground safely, he also slid down neatly.
A safety signal was sent below, and Lu Dachuan said: "Dad, you go down first, and then I will hang Dorjee." ”
Father Boba squeezed in from behind, walked to the entrance of the cave, and said a few words in a soft Tibetan voice to Dorjee, who was following him. Duo Ji stretched out his head and looked under the cliff, looked up at his master, and then turned his head to look at Lu Dachuan and the sleeping bag he was carrying, seemed to understand something, and snorted twice.
"I'm going down." Daddy Boba said to Lu Dachuan and Dorjee, grabbed the rope and descended down the mountain. Dorjee crawled at the entrance of the cave, looking at his master with his head down like Liu long-legged Zhang Xiaohu. Lu Dachuan stared at it closely, for fear that it would jump down.
After a while, Dorjee stood up, turned around and obediently walked to Lu Dachuan's side, and cooperated with Lu Dachuan to get into the sleeping bag. We were all in a daze.
Lu Dachuan fixed the three seat belts outside the sleeping bag with another rope: "Come, help me." ”
Liu Fashan and I helped move the sleeping bag containing Dorjee to the entrance of the cave, hung it on the main rope, tied the auxiliary rope, and then dragged the rope tied to the sleeping bag and slowly sent Dorjee down the cliff.
After Dorjee went down, the others were much simpler.
Soon we all descended safely to the bottom of the cliff, retracted the ropes, and walked towards the nearest boulder.
When we walked to the front, we found that the boulder that looked like a house in the distance, and when we turned to the front, the outline of the eaves, doors and windows was clearly visible.
I took a step forward, walked to what looked like a door, and pushed it away, not moving, it felt cold and hard like pushing a large rock.
We walked along the path between the two rows of boulders in front of and behind, and saw that although the stones on both sides of the aisle were large and small, each one was the same as the first one. Touching this piece, knocking on that piece, we all have a huge question in our minds: did they make the stone what these houses look like, or did something turn the houses into stone?
As I walked, the more I looked at it, the more strange everything around me became, and I couldn't help but look east and west, and before I knew it, I fell at the back of the line. When Lu Keqin saw it, she deliberately slowed down, walked up to me and asked, "Something has fallen?" ”
"No," I said, glancing at her, "I don't think everything here was made of stone, but what happened in the past, and they were petrified. ”
"You mean like dinosaur fossils, elephant fossils, this whole thing is...... Is it a village fossil!? Lu Keqin stretched out her arms and pointed around her, "This is too surprising!" ”
