Tracing the Holy Spring Chapter 8 The Old Mansion of Gupinggang (3)
I thought to myself, now we're exposed.
I didn't dare to turn on the lights, and rushed to the next door in a few arrows. Zhao Toad was holding a bunch of faces of different sizes and shapes, and I didn't have time to explain to him, so I put out the lights in the room first.
"What are you doing...... "As soon as he opened his mouth, a bright light came in from outside the house, and he was so frightened that he crawled like a big toad in boiling water, and fled to me, "What...... How? Where does the light come from? ”
I said this isn't, people came to the door. I thought I would at least survive tonight and give us a chance to breathe, but I didn't expect these people to chase after them so hard that they didn't even give us a chance to eat.
The pillars of light outside wandered back and forth between several windows, and I said to Zhao Toad: "Now they haven't determined our location yet, you go downstairs to find a place to hide, and I'll stay here to attract their attention." Wait for them to rush up, and you will find another chance to escape. ”
Zhao Toad made a gesture of care, hunched his waist and touched out of the room. I rolled to the edge of the windowsill and lifted the curtain to look down, trying to see the number of enemies. It doesn't matter if I look at this, I can't wait to slap myself to death, and hurry up and rush downstairs. I**, these bastards, there were three or four empty cars parked outside, only one person was left to turn on the lights, and the rest of the people had already sneaked into the house. Zhao Toad touched it single-handedly, probably still complacent in his heart, thinking that he could surprise the enemy, how could he never have thought that the enemy's large army had already been ambushed downstairs, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net. I was sweating in my heart, could it be that I had been away from the army for too long, and I was really old? I quickly dismissed this boring idea to myself. At the moment of life and death, if you have time to sigh about life, it is better to think about how to save Zhao Toad to be practical.
As soon as I reached the hallway on the second floor, I heard a crackling sound downstairs. I leaned my head down and looked down at the top of the stairs and saw seven or eight figures wandering around the hall on the first floor. The old man who took the lead held an old-fashioned pistol and said angrily: "His grandmother's, watching him run down, how could the person be gone." You rice buckets, search for me. If you can't find a living person, you can drag the body out of me! ”
It seemed that Zhao Toad did not fall into their hands, and I breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about how to break through the danger of the wolves. The other party has arms in his hands, and he also has a great advantage in numbers, not to mention our bare hands, Zhao Toad doesn't know where to hide. I decided to sneak over first, come by surprise, seize the gun at the head, and kidnap him as a hostage, so that I won't be able to get out of the old mansion at that time. I kept the movement under my feet as low as I could, and observed the situation downstairs. The men had turned most of the room on the first floor upside down, and the old man at the head had become impatient and wanted to bring people upstairs. I hid between the corners of the first and second floors, and as soon as he came up with his front foot, I scrapped him with his back foot.
I crouched in the darkness and held my breath, counting the time to strike. I could only hear the clatter of the stairs under my feet, and the people were getting closer and closer to me. I took a deep breath and prepared to give them a tiger to pounce on. It was cool under his feet, and a large, round and bright bald head poked out from the gap in the stairs. My eyes widened, I didn't expect Zhao Toad to hide in this kind of place, he stretched out his hand and dragged me down, the stairs here actually hidden the flap mechanism, I only felt that my head and feet were upside down, and the whole person fell into the dark passage with a bang.
As soon as it was too late, the moment I landed, thunderous footsteps sounded on the stairs above me, and it seemed that the gang had rushed up to the second floor. In the dark, I only heard Zhao Toad panting loudly, and after a while, a kerosene lamp with a faint light appeared in front of me shining on his big cake face, Zhao Toad's forehead was full of sweat, and his hand holding the oil lamp was not very neat. I was also frightened, his big head suddenly came out from under my feet just now, I just thought I saw a big-headed ghost!
"This is all blessed by my aunt's spirit in heaven," Zhao Toad sat on the concrete floor, "I was almost caught by them downstairs, and I wanted to go back the same way, but I saw my aunt and grandmother waving to me in white clothes around the corner, and I was scared to death." His feet were weak, and the whole person fell. At first, I thought I was dead, and I went to the underworld. Later, I thought about it, the underworld must also have light, otherwise how would Lord Yama work? After touching for a long time, I realized that this was a compartment under the stairs, and there was a mechanism flap. After looking forward to you for a long time, I can be regarded as looking forward to you. Zhao Toad asked me while muttering that your aunt and grandmother are the closest person in the world, and asked me: "Lao Hu, where did you recruit so many Yama princes, I have never seen such a stalker." ”
I said that it might be the trouble caused by "Yiyuan Zhai", and the old man Sang knocked me a lifetime warranty seal, anyway, these people want money. Zhao Toad said that if people want money, you will give it to others. If you don't bring life and death don't take it, can't you earn it in the future? If you have a life to take something that you don't have a life to spend, you are so rare. I said that if you want to blame, blame the overlord clause, force to buy and sell. I can't say that if I have the life to get out alive this time, I must first go back to "Yiyuan Zhai" and pluck out the beard of the old man Sang to relieve my anger.
"Say, why is there a secret room in this house?" Zhao Toad took the kerosene lamp and looked around, I looked around, and there were all kinds of glass sealed jars on display in this room, each of which was half a person high, and it was entwined with old thick cobwebs, and I couldn't see what was inside. There was a long desk in the corner with some chemicals on it, and all I could see was a large bottle of medical alcohol, and I didn't understand anything else. The entire basement looks like a small real room where some kind of secret research is being conducted. Zhao Toad asked vigorously if this was the enemy's secret base. I'm not interested in studying this history that has long passed, and I'm more concerned about whether there is a way to escape directly.
The two of us groped around along the cracks in the wall, and finally I found a passage made of stone slabs under my desk, I turned around and beckoned Zhao Toad to run away, but I didn't expect this kid to step on the real platform and want to take down the glass jar on the compartment. I said, "You know what's in there, take it." What if it's all those cockroaches, rats, and other disgusting things, and you take them out for supper? He smirked and said, "You don't understand this, this is called the fruit of victory, something that is old, it doesn't matter what it is, wait for it to be left in the store when you turn around......" The more he spoke, the more proud he became, the jar in his arms slipped, and the whole person turned backwards, I got up and only cared about helping him, I heard a crisp sound, the half-human high sealed jar had broken into slag, and a fishy smell went straight to the inside of my nose, I don't know what rolled out of it, sticky to my feet. I lifted the kerosene lamp and saw that it was a potion-soaked corpse, curled up in a ball, looking like a skinned monkey, but the tail was not visible. Zhao Toad hugged his throat and retched, shouting, "Child, this is a child." I've seen pictures in the Science Museum, and the children who haven't been born yet look like this. ”
I was shocked, could it be that the glass jar was filled with unborn babies? It is no wonder that the foreigner couple actually made such a vicious collection in their own home, no wonder they wanted to build the house on the mass grave where the yin and the yang were gathered, in order to use the local yin qi that has not dispersed for a hundred years to seal the baby's grievances. It seems that they later donated the house to someone else, and they did not have any good intentions.
Zhao Toad stood on the side, pointed to the corpse at my feet and said, "I just now, I seem to have seen it move." ”
I looked down and saw that the corpse's soft body was rising and falling in regular shapes, as if it was breathing. I didn't hear that zongzi can pant like people! What's more, it had been soaked in the potion for so long, and the muscles and bones should have melted away a long time ago. But no matter what, in the end, it's a terrible evil thing, or leave early so as not to have too many dreams at night.
I asked Zhao Toad to go first, and after my own palace, I wanted to bring the stone slab from the inside, but when I turned around, the water-soaked corpse on the ground was gone. I secretly said that it was not good, and quickly buckled the stone slab to block the passage, but was grabbed by a wet little hand, and I was half of my body into the stone road, and I was caught by it like this, and almost fell directly. The little thing was lying on the desk, dripping water from its body, its eyes hadn't opened yet, and its mouth was closed one by one, as if it was calling its mother. I was crying, and I tried desperately to shake it off, but I didn't expect that this little thing was so strong that it almost dragged me out of the stone path. After a few struggles, more sealed cans were knocked down by us, and for a moment more than a dozen babies that had not yet formed were happily crawling towards me.
"Lao Hu, what are you doing! Not down yet. Zhao Toad's voice sounded behind me, and I shouted: "Help me quickly, your son wants to drag me to the funeral." Zhao Toad didn't look good, grabbed my trouser belt and pulled it down desperately. I stepped on the entrance of the cave with one foot and the other in mid-air, and the two forces were deadlocked, and I only felt that if I continued like this, I would have to divide the body. Just then, there were several loud noises above our heads, and a large amount of sawdust dust fell, making my mouth full of dirt. When I looked up, it turned out that the partition of the stairwell had been smashed out of a hole. The old man with the gun smiled and shouted at me, "Stinky boy, I've finally found you!" ”
