Chapter 44: Foot Grabbing

Before this corpse was alive, I didn't know what the way it came from, and after death, it was so miserable that it died in such a hole. I can imagine the scene in my mind, this person is probably the same as us, he also drilled this hole to escape for his life, and halfway through the drill, I don't know what happened, just such a lonely person, called the heaven should not be, called the earth and the earth to die. The corpse then decomposed, and the corpse worms tumbled, slowly leaving only a finished white skeleton.

It just so happened that the two of us and Jiang Xi, who had climbed out before, also walked this way, and in the narrow hole, we had to crawl over its bones, which not only disrupted the original arrangement of bones and made it messy, but also pressed the bones into the soft mud under heavy pressure.

At this moment, sticking to the edge of the hole, half of the human head hole is exposed, and the mouth is wide open, revealing the upper and lower teeth inside, which is extraordinarily infiltrating. This makes me have to admire Tang Linlin's courage, although this girl is lustful and bragging, she still has the ability. This is going to change the ordinary girl's house, and I don't know what I will be scared of.

At this time, she said: "I think this person died strangely, let's be careful." ”

Strange?

I said, "What's the trick?" You can tell just by looking at the bones? ”

"Stupid." Tang Linlin hated that iron could not be made of steel, and said: "When a person dies, there will always be something else left on his body, just take you as an example, if you rot in this place, you will leave your clothes behind, right?" Even if the clothes are rotten, there must be some strips of rotten cloth, right? But you see, there was nothing left around the dead man's skeleton. ”

When she said that, I really didn't think something was right.

Could it be that when this dead man crawled in, he was covered in nakedness?

The light was faint, I opened my eyes and searched carefully in the pile of skeletons, but I really didn't find anything like rags, so I agreed with Tang Linlin's words, nodded, and said, "Got it, let's continue to climb." Tang Linlin nodded and turned her face and continued to crawl forward, I followed behind, crawling forward from those skeletons.

The bones were under my chest and stomach, and I said in my heart: I don't know if it's the eldest brother or the eldest sister, we are also forced to flee from here, don't care about the disrespect of me and the girl in front of me. Eighty percent is with Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian, and I have been exposed to too many things related to ghosts and gods, so I seem to have changed from a half-believing person to a person who fears ghosts and gods.

In this world, and there are so many forces that we don't know about, it is necessary to have a heart of reverence for nature and the unknown.

I had just finished thinking in my heart, when suddenly, I felt a sharp tightening on my ankles, and the skin seemed to be grabbed by an invisible force, so that I couldn't climb half a step further.

The sudden force tightened suddenly, and I instantly felt that it was like a human hand.

I was shocked, and I thought no, could it be the ghost of this skeleton? Subconsciously, I turned my head to look back, who knew that I was too big to even turn my head, and I was only halfway through, and my head hit the top.

Of course, the wet and soft soil didn't hurt, but the feeling of being trapped in a small space and letting people flesh was definitely not fun, but I couldn't see what was going on behind it, and I wasn't sure what was holding me.

In desperation, I shouted, "Give me the lighter!" ”

Tang Linlin paused for a moment in her crawling movements, tilted her head slightly, and revealed half of her face: "What?" What do you want a lighter for? Because of the environment, her face is half sideways, so the angle of exposure is quite strange, as if a person's face has been flattened. In such an environment, people can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

I didn't care so much and shouted, "Something grabbed my leg, give me the lighter!" ”

Although Tang Linlin said that she usually does not leave meat jokes in three sentences, and five words are inseparable from sexual harassment, she is still quite reliable at the critical moment, and immediately withdrew her hand and threw the lighter back with her backhand. It's a windproof lighter, and the flame doesn't go out easily, so it's still lit when it falls in front of my eyes.

I picked up the lighter and looked back with half of my shoulders curled up.

It stands to reason that although this angle and perspective are not good, if someone is really pulling my feet behind, then I can also see the other person's hands, but at this moment, I see my own legs, and there is nothing on them, but the feeling of the ankles being bound still exists, as if there is an invisible hand pulling my feet.

What the hell?

Fortunately, it was not the first time I had dealt with these things, and although there was a layer of white sweat on my forehead, I still forced myself to calm down and said to my feet: "This big brother...... Or eldest sister, why are you pulling my feet if you have nothing to do? ”

Of course, no one answered me, Tang Linlin heard my voice talking to herself, turned her head and squinted and said, "Who are you talking to, who is behind you?" ”

I said, "It's not human, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the ghost of this skeleton who is catching me." ”

"Ahh Tang Linlin screamed strangely and said, "Why do you like to find you with any dirty thing, I also climbed just now, why am I fine...... Oh yes, I have the almighty Great Aunt. Is it still grabbing your feet? ”

I tried to struggle for a while, but the 'other party' still had no intention of letting go, and I said, "I grabbed it very tightly and refused to let go." ”

Tang Linlin said: "You wait, I'll give you a little bit of the eldest aunt." As he spoke, he immediately cut off a section of his sleeve with a dagger, grabbed it with his hand and tried to stuff it underneath, but I was almost angry with her, and said, "You can be reliable." ”

Tang Linlin said: "Why am I unreliable, I don't know how to catch ghosts, and my aunt can exorcise ghosts." I'm a shy girl, sacrifice for you to do this, you still dislike it? ”

"I'm not disgusted...... But it's ......."

Tang Linlin said: "But what is it, a manly man, what are you doing with twisting and pinching." You wait, I'll squeeze a little more for you. As he spoke, he took a deep breath. Just as I was about to succumb to her ** authority, the invisible ghost hand that grabbed my feet actually let go.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I was overjoyed, and said, "Linlin, you don't have to squeeze, it scared away when it heard you say this." ”

When Tang Linlin heard this, she also said happily: "Grandma, I swallow the blood of mountains and rivers all over the world, and I have to pee my pants when I see it, baby, from now on, with me covering you, you are not afraid to walk every day and at night." ”

I said, "The cows have been blown to the sky by you, and you can still come to your aunt every day?" Let's go. With that, I was going to throw the lighter back to her, after all, she was the one in front of her, and it would not work without a light source.

Just as I was about to throw it, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something to the right of my chin.

The thing was buried in the earth, and it was unclear what it was, revealing a small piece of silver-gray, triangular shape, like some kind of iron utensil.

When did this thing come about?

I don't think I saw it.

Curious, I didn't throw the lighter back to Tang Linlin, but asked her to hand me the dagger, and I began to use the dagger to dig the soil around the thing. Soon, the thing buried in the soil revealed its full appearance, and it was a heavy brand the size of a palm.

Looking at the texture, it looks like it was made of pig iron, but it has been buried in the damp soil, but it has not rusted.

When Tang Linlin saw it, she said: "This thing has either not been buried for a long time, or there is a problem with the material." What is that, hand it to me. I ignored her, and observed the light of the lighter.

This thing, there are three words on the front, and it's a small seal, I don't know it.

On the reverse side is a pattern, a cloud-shrouded mountain, on which there is a spired tower-shaped building, and the iron plate is surrounded by many cloud patterns, which looks extremely delicate.

There was also a hole under the iron plaque, to which was attached a thin black rope that was almost rotten, as if something had fallen on the iron plaque. Seeing this, I continued to dig around the piece of dirt where the iron plaque was dug up.

Due to the distance, I had to start back, and this digging really made me dig out a jade pendant.

There is finally a word engraved on the pendant that I know: Ming.

Bright?

Tomorrow? Light? Anti-Qing and restoring sight?

What does this clear word mean?

Although I don't understand jade, but I look at the color of the jade like mutton fat, and I also know that the texture of this jade must be extraordinary.

Seeing this, Tang Linlin said, "I'll just say that there is nothing left on this dead man, it turns out that he was pressed into the soil." ”

I felt that something was wrong, and said, "None of these bones have been pressed into the soil, how can this iron plate be pressed down?" ”

Tang Linlin groaned and suddenly said, "Could it be that someone deliberately buried it in?" ”

If a person buries something, he must want to hide it. But this person hides things, and it's not a good place, right? Hiding in this cave? And it's buried so shallowly?

This speculation made me immediately realize that this iron plate was probably buried by this skeleton before his death, and he must have crawled to this place, knowing that his life was short, so he buried this thing in the dirt.

No wonder he pulled my feet just now, it seems, this dead man, is trying to let me dig this thing out?

Could it be that it has some unfulfilled wishes?

What is this thing for, and is it worth trying to hide before it dies?

I stared at the three small seals on it, and decided to put them away first, and when I got out, I would ask Tan Jian or Zhou Xuanye, they must know the words on it, maybe these three words will give me some clues. Thinking of this, I tentatively spoke: "This eldest brother or eldest sister, although I don't know what you mean, but since you let me dig it out, then I will accept it disrespectfully, if you have any wishes, just open your mouth, don't grab my feet again, let alone scare me." ”

I thought of the little ghosts who would take their heads off at every turn and put them on the side of my pillow to tell me stories, and I thought that ghosts, if they wanted to be scary, could really scare people crazy, and they could conjure up no matter what they looked like anyway.
