Chapter 15: The Ghost in Red
Listening to the fat brother's words, I was shocked at first, and then slowly sat down on the stone with my buttocks, which had been raised. Then he made a strange expression on his face and said to the fat brother who had jumped off the boulder: "Oops, fat brother, my leg is numb, wait a minute." ”
When I spoke, my brain was running rapidly, the fat brother was tired of shouting, I thought it was strange, it turned out that the fat brother wanted to take advantage of the rest to observe the surroundings, it seems that he had already found out that someone was following, and I have been stupidly walking forward.
As soon as I shouted that my legs were numb, I could get the fat brother away from me and get close to me for good communication. Then I said to the fat brother: "The fat brother helped me, and my legs were numb and I couldn't stand up." ”
The fat brother stretched out a hand, and I put one hand directly on his shoulder, and then deliberately enlarged the decibel and said, "Fat brother, help me walk around, this leg is numb, how to walk." ”
The fat brother began to support me, jumping around the big rock, I also during this time, carefully observed the surroundings, in fact, it was very dark, the area that the eyes could see was very small, and I didn't see the clue after looking at it for a long time.
I put it in the fat brother's ear again and said, "When did you find out?" ”
The fat brother looked ahead, but said: "Why did you two just walk to the end and look down at the sinkhole, because it is more dangerous there, I paid extra attention to the behind, and suddenly I felt the breath of someone behind me." ”
I also think that there are only a few people who know us here, echoing the style of secretly following, that is, Xia Tong and Li Yao who met that day, but it is not excluded that we don't know. But I thought again, no, when I came down from the cave with the fat brother, the whole hole collapsed, could it be that the people who followed us were waiting for us here in advance?
It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. I pinched the fat guy's shoulder and pulled the scimitar out from the side of the backpack.
The fat guy also put the arrow on the crossbow just now.
Then I shouted, "Who's it, don't hide it, we already know, come out." The voice shouted, and I didn't hear any reply except an echo.
I raised my voice and shouted, "It's a friend who comes out to meet, it's an enemy, let's compare with real swords and guns." "Still no one answered me.
I used a wolf's eye flashlight to search for dark places in a carpet manner.
The fat guy also tensed up, just waiting for me to shine someone out of the darkness, and then quickly shot the crossbow arrow.
After taking a long time, there was no result, just when I thought that the fat brother was groundless, the flashlight flashed over the wall, and I really saw people. I looked for the flashlight again, and then I saw clearly, just at the exit of the river near the sinkhole, on the side wall, there was actually a mirror, and in the mirror it was me and the fat brother.
We hurriedly walked over to see that this mirror was the size of a dressing mirror at home, not made of glass, as if it was some kind of ore growing in stone, the cross-section was extremely smooth, as if polished, and the mirror was on the side wall and the wall in a direction, slightly inclined to the position of the hole.
I looked in the mirror and wondered, not knowing if it was a natural occurrence or a deliberate display by someone else. However, I prefer to be naturally formed, and no matter how powerful the ancients are, they will not be so idle and put a mirror in a cave in mid-air. Besides, who discovered this pit? It is not known whether the river was formed before or after the discovery of the sinkhole.
The fat brother said, "This is a crystal mine, right?" ”
I replied, "I don't understand either, can the crystal mine be used as a mirror?" But it's an ore, absolutely. ”
The fat brother kicked the mirror and said, "Delayed, I thought I was being followed." ”
The two of them looked bored for a while, so they continued to walk back according to the originally planned route, towards the side of the river, the big cave that had collapsed before.
Walking to the edge of the pit and looking ahead, it was a diagonal downward passage, and the area that had collapsed was very large, and the stones were also very large. If you follow here, you should be able to reach the next level of the river.
At the end, there was another downward hole, and the bottom of the hole ten meters deep could be seen vertically, and we still used the old way to go down with a rope.
I still went down first, and then there was another underground channel, which was different from the previous one, it seemed to be a year-old place, there were almost no boulders, and the river was full of mud and sand, and it was not dry.
In the caves that collapsed in the early years, the stones were washed away by the water all the year round, and they would get smaller and smaller, and finally they would rush down the river to the sinkhole, and if it was a river that collapsed in the later years, there would be a lot of boulders, all blocked on the river.
The fat guy came down and I carefully collected the rope. Because the location where we came down was exactly in the middle of the river, then we discussed which way to go first, and after discussion, we decided to go in the opposite direction of the sinkhole first, where the water came from, and there was a high possibility of a road.
When we came to the end, we found that Bai was gone, and there was nothing left except dense stalactites. We turned back and went in the opposite direction.
As soon as I turned around, I felt a red light slip in front of my eyes. I hurriedly grabbed the fat brother and said, "Did you see that?" ”
The fat brother asked me, "What do you see?" ”
I said, "When I turned around, it was as if a red light had passed in front of me. Then he turned on the flashlight and shone it into the dark, but there was nothing.
The fat brother said: "It is estimated that it is a slight claustrophobia, and I almost scared myself to death just now." ”
I listened to the fat brother's words, and I didn't care, so I continued to walk with the fat brother in the direction of the sinkhole.
As I walked, the fat brother suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to block my way, and then said to me, "I also see a red shadow." ”
We just stood still, not knowing whether to move forward or hide.
I said to the fat brother quietly, "Shouldn't this place be haunted?" The female ghost in red. ”
The fat brother said: "I haven't been here and don't know, find a local ghost and ask." ”
I coughed, meaning to warn him about what time it was, and joking. Then we took pictures around for a long time, and it was still nothing.
After a while, the third red shadow appeared, and we both saw it, and it was very fast, as if a female ghost in red had floated past in front of us.
The fat brother shouted: "My damn." But instead of running away, he turned to the place where the red shadow had passed with my headlamp, and at the same time my wolf smoke flashlight shone through.
Looking closely, we realized that in the shadow on the back of a large rock, a little red was revealed.
We hurried over to see what was so wicked.
I saw it clearly in the past. Behind the big rock, there was a big frog, a big red frog to be exact. This frog is simply the ancestor of frogs, the three bullfrogs together are not as big as it, and they can't be buckled in the basin, and they can't be flushed down when they are thrown into the toilet. Most of the entire body is white and transparent, except for the back, where it should have been blue-green, which is blood-red.
If you look closely, although this big red frog has a large skeleton, it is very thin, not at all like its frog grandchildren, all of them have big bellies and round waists, this bone is as thin as wood, without a bulging belly, and without a bulging chin, it is a huge red frog as thin as dry firewood. He was crouching in the middle of a round stone, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
The fat brother's curiosity came again, and he took his crossbow arrow and stabbed the red frog again, but the red frog remained motionless, squatting there with his head tilted and looked at the top of the cave. The more the fat guy plays, the more interested he becomes, one will poke his legs, one will poke his head, and one will poke his buttocks. Under the buttocks of the red frog, there is actually a short small tail tip.
So I said to the fat brother, "Is this frog just transformed from a tadpole?" There is a tail in the back, so how big is the tadpole? How big does an adult frog have to be? ”
The fat brother didn't seem to care, and said lightly: "Whatever, when we are hungry, grab a big one, roasted chicken legs." You say it's squatting and not moving, what are you looking at? ”
I said, "Don't they all say that they sit in a well and watch the sky?" This frog is estimated to be at the point, looking at the sky. As I spoke, I followed the direction in which the frog looked up and shone it with a flashlight.
The fat brother said again: "Look at the sky, how can there be a ...... here" Before the words were finished, the fat brother choked.
Because at the top of the cave where my flashlight shined, there was a huge white snake, climbing on the craggy stalactite pillar, with its mouth wide open at the big red frog.
