Forty-eight, Hanzhong incense stone
What I mean is very simple: we can't sit still, we can't turn back, the road ahead has been blocked by rats, and if we don't make a decision, we're going to die here. "Can't afford to procrastinate." I said.
"Are you sure they're all rats?" The fat man calmly interrupted my train of thought, "This cave is definitely not as big as we can imagine, so can you be sure you can catch them all here?" ”
"So what can you do?" I asked.
"I'll go over and see if the rats aren't going to be too much of a problem. Now we don't have to worry so much, we just need to walk to the hole on the opposite side, don't cause too much trouble, you understand the truth that a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, right? ”
Soon the fat man walked out, he made a pause gesture to reassure me, and then he crept over with the half pot of alcohol, but when he was about to get there, the fat man stepped on the tail of a mouse.
"Damn." I cursed, and immediately picked up the machine gun in my hand, but strangely enough, the rats didn't move at all, and were still asleep there.
The fat man looked around in surprise, then leaned in front of a giant rat and immediately gestured to me that I could come too. Soon I followed, looking like two cats, timidly walking around among the rats, too twisted.
But the more I could smell the scent, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I looked at the thatched house and gestured to the fat man, but the fat man told me not to do that. There are still a few cans of food left in our food, which is logically enough to provide a full meal, but no one can predict what will happen next, so the fat man stipulates that we must not eat those things when we do not encounter accidents and are about to die, and at the same time, it also subconsciously gives us a kind of plum quenching thirst.
I sighed and walked on, seeing more and more rats in front of me, almost as big as a puppy, and in that sleepy position, I couldn't bear to look at it. The fat man walked in front very carefully, and the light of the flashlight hit as high as possible, and when he got down, he also figured it out again and again. But even so, the rats woke up after a few moments.
I don't know what it was, but as I was walking with the fat man, a palm-sized mouse woke up, red all over its body, and its limbs were covered with barbed hair.
"What kind of rat is this?" I looked in amazement at the mouse beneath my feet that was being reflected by the light.
"I don't know, don't look at it, let's go quickly." The fat man frowned, it was obvious that he knew what this rat was, there must be something wrong, but I didn't dare to say more, I lowered my head and walked around the rat colony little by little, but the young rat woke up and didn't stop, but turned in place and ran towards us.
"Damn, this thing is sick, isn't it?" I saw the rat running to my feet and opening its mouth to bite my leg, I realized that this rat must have a virus, and it must not be allowed to bite down, so I hurriedly threw the rat out.
"Hurry up, this rat is eyeing you, hurry up and don't alarm the other rats."
"I know." I nodded, and walked to the mouth of a cave on the other side, "What kind of rat is this?" ”
"How do I know, but if it looks like this, it must be a rat who has grown into a spirit?"
In the spacious cave, I felt the fragrance more and more, the previous mouse no longer knew that I kicked it there, but I still couldn't let go of my heart and ran forward from the fat man's belly, and it didn't take long for me to suddenly see a dress, yes, it was actually a dress that was a very rustic big checkered, and there was a black and white photo pinned to the chest of the clothes, as well as a party emblem This party emblem is worn in the middle of the left chest of the clothes.
"It's been a long time ago, and it looks like it's been a few years."
"What is this?" The fat man rushed over.
"Clothes." I said that after thinking about it, I had heard a long time ago that the people of Jackal Gully used some sacrifices to lure the gray fairy to bend down, and after thinking about it, I quickly came to the conclusion that this sacrifice was used to attract souls. This is the origin of the Jackal Gully, and it is also the belief of the local villagers, who use this kind of dead thing left over from their life or stone statues carved in their appearance as a kind of soul guide, so that the gray fairy helps them convey a psychic effect to let their souls possess their bodies.
But why would the local people believe in some rats with such a crazy and foolish idea? Also Why do so many rats gather in this place? It stands to reason that this place shouldn't be like this, right? Could it be that is? I glanced at the thatched hut, and there was a smell of it, around which almost all the rats had fallen asleep. I'm guessing this thing lured the rats to this place.
I was about to tell the fat man about this idea to seek his answer, but at this moment a gunshot alarmed me, I turned my head and saw the fat man holding a gun in his hand, the little mouse that had attacked me was lying weakly on his muzzle, the strange thing was that it was blasted out of a big hole in its chest, but it was not dead, there was no trace of blood flowing, and its mouth was biting the barrel of the gun and refused to let go.
"." What's going on? I saw that all the rats around me had woken up by this time, and the sound of rustling made my whole body numb.
"How do I know?" The fat man spoke, and quickly jumped over the mouse and ran towards the thatched hut.
"He's trying to destroy things in that place? Or what? I thought to myself, and immediately swept a circle around me with my gun, and soon the rats woke up, and a spirit got up from the ground, and rushed madly following our scent, and for a moment the whole place was boiling like a mountain and sea, and the sound was incessant. Countless rats crawled at me, and I couldn't do anything with my gun, and if it was one or two, it would be fine, but there were so many swarms of rats, and I panicked.
Knock out a group of people who came up, they crawled frantically along the clothes on me, and soon I couldn't use the bullet to intimidate, I could only use the gun as a racket, but it was still to no avail, I didn't know what the fat man was thinking, and after holding on for a while, I finally began to feel frightened, these rats were completely afraid of anything, and soon pounced again, and they gradually traveled a hill one after another.
"Fatty!" I yelled, what's going on with the fat man.
As my voice quickly ended, I smelled a burning smell in the air, and it was this smell that made all the rats on me recede for a moment.
As soon as I saw that the situation was under control by the fat man, I ran through the flock of rats to the fat man, only to see that the thatched hut gradually disappeared as the fire grew bigger and bigger, and a stone like jade appeared.
"It's a rock." The stone is serpentinized marble, and at a glance it has a natural fresh color and a variety of characteristic weathered secondary colors. And in the place where the snake stripe can't cover it, it is actually transparent, and under the light of the thatched fire, you can even see a little black impurity inside.
"What is this?" I asked.
"This is Hanzhong incense stone, and in 2003, one such stone was bought at a price of 30 million. However, at that time, the stone was not so big, and if it was really that big, how much would it cost! ”
"Money, you big head." I immediately realized that this stone was incense stone, and the fragrance of Hanzhong incense stone was objective, but its cause was incomprehensible. Theoretically, the rocks formed in nature are inorganic, and there can be no fragrance, and if there is a fragrance, it can only be formed by the immersion of organic fragrance substances after the formation of the rocks, that is, the secondary generation cause. There may be two sources of organic fragrance substances: one is aromatic oil and gas deep underground; One is the scented flowers and trees on the surface.
Therefore, most of the fragrant stones are only the smell of grass, flowers and trees, but such a chocolate-like fragrance must have been fused after countless years and countless vegetation, so on the one hand, this kind of stone even has a value beyond imagination. It is also a way to study plants that became extinct in ancient times.
"But what do you want? Use it to threaten those rats? "Although I know that these rats are gathering because of this thing, it is too nonsense for the fat man to do this.
"What else are you going to do?" As he spoke, the fat man patted his hand on the stone to stop pouring oil, and then pouted in front of me, and I looked around and saw the rats kneeling on the ground one by one, their forelimbs arched together, as if they were making a move.
"Fuck, these rats are all cum." Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh.
The fat man didn't speak, spit out a mouthful of pus and blood from his mouth, and said to me, "Pick this thing up, and we'll carry it away." ”
"What?" I was shocked.
"There's no time left." The fat man roared, and at a glance, I saw only the countless rats coming out of the small holes, more and more, almost blocking the way we came, and the number was increasing. I gritted my teeth and reported the fragrant Hanzhong incense stone, and then stepped on the corpse of the mouse under the cover of the fat man's lighter, and walked all the way to the hole like that.
"Can we get out?"
"Nonsense."
"Is this the way out?"
"Shut up!"
"I'm so hungry! I can't feel myself anymore. ”
"Stop talking, save some strength." Soon we pushed into the hole, and the fat man quickly took off all the clothes on his body, and then asked me to take off my clothes too, and we threw the clothes at the entrance of the hole, and the fat man immediately lit a wall of fire with a lighter and isolated us from the rats, "There are still 5 minutes, we have to run." ”
"But I can't run!"
"Take the canned food and eat it." The fat man said suddenly, I was stunned and knew that we were betting everything on the hole, and not only that, but we had to race against the clock.
I was running and eating canned food, the fat man was naked [***] holding the incense stone, some of the scenery in the cave was rapidly retreating, and the fire behind was getting smaller and smaller, I knew that time was running out, even if we had enough stomach and strength, at most we would be a full ghost, I lowered my head and asked in the wind whisper, "Can we go out?" ”
"Yes! We'll be able to get out," the fat man said, word for word.
