Chapter 41: The Rat-Faced Man

A black pillar of smoke rises from the pine forest on the slope of the tomb, the pillar of smoke is black and opaque, and from a distance, it looks like a black phosphorus python soaring into the sky, and everyone within dozens of kilometers nearby can see it.

The third and fourth brothers walked along the path through the thick pine forest, the third remembered that he walked on this road last month, and there was a stream halfway up the mountainside, and he fainted and lost consciousness after drinking the stream water, and also bit Lao Wu.

The third child walked in front, and the fourth followed behind him, and the two didn't dare to stop at all, looking at the place where the smoke was coming from, and hurried quickly. The third child walked tired and panted and said, "Hey Fude, have you heard? The people in the village said that this forest path was once stepped out by the Zhang family, and the Zhang brothers must have gone up and down the mountain here, and I and the fifth child followed the footprints of this path last time, you said that it has been so many years, this road should have been gone for a long time, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like there are still people who often walk recently. ”

The fourth brother is much stronger than his brother, with good physical strength and good spirits, his eyes are very bright, he usually doesn't have much to say, but he can always choke with Lao Wu, and he didn't pant for breath after walking such a long mountain road, and his face turned dark when he heard his brother say this, and he gritted his teeth behind him and said: "The grandson who sneaked up on me designated that he had something to do with the Zhang family, so let me grab it and step on his brain." ”

It's as hot as a fire, and there is a feeling of scalding when the sun shines on it, and the exposed flesh is hot and painful, even this thick pine forest can't block the scorching sun.

The two brothers were already in the grave slope to let the sun be ripe, and they had to rush so far, and it was good to go uphill and climb the mountain without dehydration, and the third brother couldn't take it with him, and he had to sit down and rest when he saw the flat place, and he was still shouting in his mouth.

"Oh, this day, it's like a fire in the sky, no, I can't do it, and now my head is starting to get dizzy."

The fourth child was also sweating at this time, his clothes were soaked, and the sweat dripped down his chin on the ground, but he could resist, and he didn't say anything when he was tired.

Standing on a high place, I can vaguely see the brothers of the grave slope, turn my head and look at the black smoke column again, which is not right to find that the smoke is wrong, unlike the smoke produced when the wood burns in the ordinary mountain fire, this black smoke is not dispersed A pillar of optimus inside the sky is like a burning like a non-stop tumbling, from time to time there are some small black things scattered down, some are even blown by the wind and just fall on the third child's head.

The third child was lying on his back under a shady tree, and suddenly something fell on his head, then he naturally thought it was bird, which disgusted him, and quickly grabbed a handful of leaves from the ground to wipe it, but the more he wiped it, the more flowers he wiped, it was better not to get it, and the thing was sticky like grease The third rubbed his face all over his face.

He wondered why something was so slimy, and when he took the leaves out of front of him, they were black and smelled as if the corpses of dead men and the stinky fish and shrimp had been piled together in the sun for days, and the smell was disgusting.

The fourth brother planned to let his brother get up so that he could continue to hurry, the forest was on fire, and the situation was more anxious, plus Lao Wu and Xiao Qi were still in the cave and now they didn't know where to come out, so they couldn't delay at all.

But when he turned his head to look at the third child's face, he was stunned and asked, "I said brother?" What's black on your face? Where did you get it? ”

The third child also wondered, so he said: "How do I know, it fell from the sky, this thing stinks and can't be wiped off, it's about to be smoked to death, you can help me find some water to wash." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly another black thing fell from the sky, and with a "chirp" sound, it fell near the two of them, and then countless black sticky things fell, and the brothers were dumbfounded and subconsciously looked up. The black plume of smoke had already risen to the clouds, and a slimy black rain began to fall from the sky.

The electric lights in the tunnel suddenly all went out, and the small space was instantly pitch black, and the warm yellow light played some psychological role, making people forget the cold underground for a while, but with the lights extinguished, the cold breath that penetrated the bones made Xiao Qi shiver all the time, and when he was frightened, he remembered that he still had a fire fold on his body to light the earth, and quickly took it out and blew it to illuminate.

The fire fold is a kind of easy-to-carry lighting and fire utensils in the old days, because it is simple to make and easy to use, and the fire fold has been used to light cigarettes and make fire in the old years when matches have not yet been popularized.

The fire fold is actually made of very rough clay paper rolled into a tight paper roll, lit with fire and then blown out, at this time, although there is no flame, you can see the red bright spots faintly burning, like an ember in the ashes, can be kept for a long time. When it needs to be ignited, it can be rekindled by blowing, but blowing is very skillful, it needs to be sudden, short, and powerful, and the air supply volume should be large.

Don't look at this Hu Da Arm is born with a big waist and a round waist, although this person is rough is what others often say has no heart and no lungs, but he has an advantage is dexterity. His big hands were thick and his fingers were thick, but he was especially good at making those kinds of gadgets, such as small windmills, pulleys, and cigarette pouches and pots carved out of wood, which he could only make that he had never seen. When this person is fine, he secretly smokes a few puffs of old dry tobacco, the two ends of the small cigarette roll are drummed in the middle, the shape is like a spindle, when he smokes, he licks it in his mouth, takes out the fire fold he made and shakes it twice, and then he can light a cigarette and smoke, so the cigarette fire fold does not leave his body, because Xiao Qi wants to go down to the bottom of the cave to save Lao Wu, so he gave Xiao Qi the fire fold he brought on his body, so that he can illuminate it after he goes down.

Although the fire fold made by Hu Dabao can be easily blown, it is always a fire primer, and it is okay to light a cigarette, so it is not nonsense to illuminate it. But I was in a hurry and didn't think much about it, but it was better to have a bright than nothing, so Xiao Qi also carried it.

When the lights were extinguished, Xiao Qi naturally thought of the fire fold that Hu Dafang gave him, and after blowing it up, the small fire light was not a problem at all, so he could only look at the wall to find the way to come. But don't look at the bright light, but on the wall shines Xiao Qi's shadow, slender and weird like a ghost following him, Xiao Qi's attention moved from the fire fold to the weird swaying shadow behind him, seeing that he was cold on the back of his neck, when he looked back at the fire fold in his hand, Xiao Qi's hair exploded instantly, and a pale and ugly hand held his hand holding the fire fold.

Xiao Qi's frightened head rang out, and his body trembled wildly and was about to throw out urine. It was only then that I felt that there was indeed a hand holding me, and the cold touch was like a dead person, and my whole body was frozen and I couldn't move at all, and it was impossible to withdraw my hand.

Two small green lights lit up outside the light of the fire fold, and then slowly approached him, and finally appeared under the light of the fire fold, it was a distorted ugly and weird face, which seemed to be a human but had the appearance of a mouse, and after seeing Xiao Qi, there was a crack under the face, squinting his eyes and grinning the corners of his mouth as if he was laughing, it was really a terrible smile.

Seven years younger is the youngest in the team, but he is the most courageous in the team, and the situation at this moment may have been changed to the fact that others may have already fainted in fright, or peed their pants and collapsed to the ground with weak legs and feet.

But Xiao Qi's panic just now after seeing the strange Zhang actually retreated a little, to put it bluntly, he was afraid of ghosts, but he was not afraid of other fierce beasts and monsters. Ghosts are too illusory and terrifying to be grasped, and superstitious people are the most afraid. Although Xiao Qi is not very superstitious, he is also afraid of ghosts, and he used to hear Hu Dabao tell a lot of Northeast folk ghost stories, and he couldn't sleep at night after listening to it, and he always felt that there were ghosts around him, and he was scared.

At this moment, after Xiao Qi saw that thing clearly, he remembered the appearance of the rat-faced man who was poisoned by the rat in the village that the people in the village had said before, it was really similar to this comparison, and he sneered in his heart, since he was a rat-faced man, there was nothing terrible, so you came to find death by yourself.

Xiao Qi settled down and cracked his mouth and replied with a big smile, and then suddenly lowered his face, and pressed the fire that was still burning in his hand on the strange face of the rat-faced man opposite him.

Immediately he smelled the smell of burnt flesh and skin, accompanied by a squeaky laughter like a mouse, Xiao Qi couldn't control himself, one hand slammed the head of the strange face, and the other hand took the fire fold and stabbed it at the eyes that were shining with green light.

The power in Xiao Qi's hand was too great, and he actually inserted all the fire folds into the eyes of the strange face, and blood splashed on Xiao Qi along the eye socket.

As the fire fold went out, the surroundings fell into darkness again, Xiao Qi's hands still clasped the rat-faced man's head, kicked the rat-faced man's chest with a horizontal kick, kicked him against the wall, and then clenched his fists with both hands and rounded up a set of combination punches, and felt that the fists were all hit on the strange face, and the dull sound of blows echoed in this small tunnel, which was sandwiched between Xiao Qi's shouts and squeaky laughter.

Xiao Qi's physical strength was overdrawn after hitting more than 30 punches, and he couldn't hit anything with his punches, it was estimated that the person had fallen, and it was too dark around him to see anything, so he could only step on it with his feet, wondering where the person was knocked down, and continue to come a few more times after finding it.

But all around was trampled on, and there was nothing. Stretching out his hand and touching the walls on both sides of the wall in one direction, he tried to do so, but there was really nothing. Xiao Qi thought to himself, "Can a person who has been poisoned by rats really dig holes and run away like a mouse?" It's impossible, this gray ground can't be dug up by manpower? Where did that go? ”

Xiao Qi took a few steps, and wanted to turn around and look back, this body just turned around half a circle and suddenly heard a strange laugh behind him, and before he could react, his back waist was hit by a huge force, and he directly hit Xiao Qi on the opposite wall with a bang, and the hot liquid was left in his eyes along the door of his head, and after being hit on the head, the whole person was confused, and he couldn't control his body and fell to the ground.

At this moment of confusion, one hand grabbed Xiao Qi's shoulder, the nails were buckled into the flesh, Xiao Qi wanted to reach out to pull it away, but the other shoulder was suddenly tight, and then there was a heart-rending pain, he clearly felt that his shoulder was bitten by a big mouth of sharp teeth, penetrating the skin and muscles and biting directly on the bone, the pain was indescribable, Xiao Qi immediately wailed in despair. Tears flowed out uncontrollably, his aching teeth were almost all bitten off, both shoulders were clasped by force, and his hands couldn't lift up at all, and he could only clearly feel the teeth biting his bones and chewing his flesh. In this powerlessness, pain and despair, Xiao Qi thought of Lao Wu, and wondered if he was also eaten by these rat-faced people, and if he had been in pain like himself.

Thinking that Xiao Qi's tense body slowly relaxed, he was dazed and was about to give up resistance, and suddenly at this moment, all the electric lights in the tunnel were turned on again. The warm yellow light shone on Xiao Qi's face, making him unable to open his eyes, and the sharp teeth on his shoulder suddenly loosened, followed by a muffled sound when the watermelon was broken, and a hot liquid was sprinkled on his face.

Xiao Qi opened his eyes with great effort, and saw a familiar figure, who was red-eyed and slammed the head of the rat-faced man who fell beside him with a piece of iron, slapping his head flat, and spraying Xiao Qi's face with brains.
