Chapter Forty-Eight: The Other Group

It's been a long journey than I thought, and of course, it may not be long. Because, in that deep environment, my concept of time is disappearing little by little, although the previous fear has been eliminated, but I dare not relax at all, with a flashlight in my mouth, my eyes staring at the black water, always maintaining a high level of vigilance, fortunately, everything is normal, except that I am deeply tired, there is no other emergency.

The road was straight at first, but after about three or five minutes of walking, the road began to make detours, turning left and right, zigzag, I don't know what other functions such a design of the road has in addition to increasing the distance. However, as I walked, I gradually noticed that the black water was getting shallower and shallower, and after a while, the black water could only reach my waist.

Let's get out of here, I thought to myself.

——————————————————————

After that, I carried Bu Jin for about ten minutes, the black water could only reach the knee position, looking ahead, a jogging platform was in front, I took a long breath, fortunately, this black water road has an end.

At this time, I was already exhausted, and it took too much physical effort to walk in the water, of course, the main thing was because of psychological factors. Fear, confusion, helplessness, these powerful negative emotions made my whole body feel heavy.

It took me a lot of effort to pull Bu Jin onto the jogging platform, and the moment I left the black water, my whole body collapsed to the ground, as if I would fall asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

The flashlight was thrown on the ground, the pillar of light was attached to the ground and hit the bluestone slab wall opposite, the light was not easy to control, and at this moment, how I wished there was a bonfire here for me to roast myself, even if it was a torch. Although it is the scorching heat of August, the dark tunnel is soaked in black water, and a gust of wind blows from time to time, which still makes me feel cold.

I sat on the ground and took off my shoes first. The reason for this is that firstly, to ensure that my feet will not be soaked on the back, and secondly, since I entered this black water, I have always felt that this black water path is a little strange.

Sure enough, when I looked down, I saw the corpse of a half-lizard-like reptile hanging from my shoelaces. The half of the lizard had been soaked in the black water and turned gray-white, and I didn't know what ingredients were in the black water, so that they could soak these corpses for so long without decomposing. Formalin? No. Although I am not a medical student, I still know the fairly recognizable smell of formalin, and the black water has no smell other than its color.

I felt a little disgusted, and shook my foot, but I didn't shake off the half of the lizard, so I took out my long knife and flicked it off.

After getting rid of the lizard, I took off my shoes and socks, and I was shocked to see that there were four small black bugs stuck to my ankles. These insects are jet-black and have a flat shape that resembles a cylinder, this kind of thing I saw when I was a child, even if I didn't see it, and I have described it in many novels, this thing is a leech.

In fact, leeches are not as scary as many novels depict, they almost do not feel anything when they attach to people, and they do not suck much blood. The only headache is that their tenacious and persistent spirit, as long as they are glued, they will never let go, the attraction is super strong, no matter how you hit it, it is indifferent, if you want to pull hard, the result is likely to be that you pull its body off, but the other half of its head is still attached to your body.

It's even a little crazy, but when I see these leeches, I feel a little happy in my heart, because in any case, these leeches are normal creatures, and they are not mutated like the giant serpent or the worm in the skull in the altar on the ground.

Leeches are something I have seen in my hometown of Liaoning, and the reason why I don't feel scared is because I have a way to deal with them, these insects, afraid of high temperatures.

So, I took out a lighter, roasted the tip of the long knife with a fire, and then gently touched the leeches with the tip of the knife, and they immediately curled up in a ball, let go, and fell to the ground, and I was not polite, I picked up the shoe and slapped it hard, and I heard the sound of "chirp", and the leeches were flattened.

After dealing with a few leeches in my ankles, although I was tired, I was in a good mood, because anyway, I had done something for myself, and I no longer used the help of Ryazan and Bu Jin and others.

Soon, however, my relaxed mood was gone, and I rolled up my trouser legs, only to see that my calves were also densely covered with leeches.

All of a sudden, my whole body panicked, hurriedly took off my clothes, and found that my chest was full of leeches, this time I couldn't calm down, so I quickly walked to the side with my back to Bu Jin, and took off my pants - my whole body, everywhere crawling with leeches.

"Holy!" I cursed secretly, and said in my heart that even if these leeches don't suck much blood, but so many leeches suck together, even if I have more blood, I will be drained, so I hurriedly concocted the same method, and continued to scald off those leeches one by one with the tip of a long hot knife. I had a great deal of effort and burned myself several times while burning the ones on my back, and when everything was done, I sat down again, tired and not wanting to do anything.

However, I can't empty myself like this, because Bu Jin may also have leeches on his body.

I came to Bu Jin's side, she was lying on the ground, breathing evenly, still unconscious. As soon as I reached out to help her take off her shoes and pants, I was a little timid, and I thought that Bu Jin would slap me after waking up and call me a hooligan? In case she gets angry and turns me into a dry corpse...... I don't dare to imagine it anymore, but I can't just watch it.

After some hesitation, I tentatively rolled up Bu Jin's pants little by little, and to my surprise, her calves were slender and white, but there were no leeches.

I was stunned for a moment, and then tentatively rolled up Bu Jin's white shirt, her lower abdomen had no fat, and she looked healthy and acquainted, but there were still no leeches.

I sat on the ground and wondered, what is this for?

I know that some people are born to attract insects, take myself as an example, I am particularly easy to attract mosquitoes in the summer, sleeping in the mountains and forests for a night, I have been bitten by mosquitoes seven or eight big bags, some people say that this is related to blood type. But, in any case, I've never heard of a leech sting having a blood type.

However, this is fine, this also saves me a lot of things, and when everything is busy, I sit next to Bu Jin, leaning against the wall, and as soon as my spirit is relaxed, I actually fall asleep all of a sudden.

——————————————————————

I don't know how long it took for me to be woken up by a loud noise.

I opened my eyes in a daze, reached out and touched the flashlight, and subconsciously shone into the black water, thinking that something terrible was coming out of the water, but fortunately everything was normal.

But the loud noise just now was definitely not my dream, but something that actually happened, and in that noise, it seemed that someone was shouting for help, and sometimes a loud sound of water could be heard. However, when I woke up, the sounds became much quieter, and I looked around, and finally found that the source of the sound was actually the bluestone slab wall, which was another corridor next door.

I remembered that after rushing out of the bronze mirror corridor, there were six entrances to the corridor, could it be that someone broke into the other corridor next to me?

I pressed my ear to the bluestone wall and listened, first I heard the sound of people running in the water, followed by a loud hissing sound, which sounded like the sound of a big cat like a lion or a tiger.

Then, there was silence.

After a long time, I heard a muffled grunt from some creature. After a while, I heard someone shout, "Oh my God, what kind of bird was that?" ”

My first reaction was that the next door on the opposite side should be Ryazan and them, so I shouted loudly: "Ryazan, Uncle Duan, is it you?" ”

There was no response, and I felt that something was wrong, so I didn't dare to speak again, not to mention that yelling in such a dark and empty place is actually a terrible thing, because I always have a feeling that I will provoke something terrible in the darkness.

After about a cigarette, I heard the man who had just spoken gasping for breath, and this time, I could hear clearly, his accent was Sichuanese, and he said, "What's wrong?" ”

Immediately afterwards, a person with a low and slightly hoarse voice, a little Beijing, responded: "It seems that someone else was shouting just now." ”

Listening to their conversation, as well as the Sichuan guy gasping for breath just now, I deduced that the Sichuan guy just now must have been covered by that Qin Yan.

At this time, the Sichuan guy said again: "Hey, you don't have to scare yourself, just now on the side of the bronze mirror, didn't you also see it, there are corpses everywhere, and several of them must have died a long time ago." ”

As soon as I heard this, I chuckled in my heart, and I couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good.

I thought my voice was quiet enough, but as soon as my voice fell, someone on the other side immediately let out a "shhhhh

Immediately afterwards, I heard a slight grinding sound on the stone wall of the bluestone slab, and I guessed that the other party must have put his ear to the bluestone slab like me, and I can't move at all. Because it is obvious that the other party's ears are particularly thieves, if I walk around here, the sound under my feet will definitely be noticed by the other party, it seems that the bluestone slab here is not too thick.

Separated by a wall, the two groups of people were silently stalemate, and it took a long, long time, really a long, long time. It was the Sichuan guy who broke the silence and said, "I said that you are too careful, and now you are like a soldier, and I didn't do this when I was fighting in Vietnam." ”

Vietnam? Fight? I was stunned in my heart, who is this Sichuan guy? Also, he said you, that means that on the other side of the wall, there are not just two people.

Jing Yan spoke, and he said: "Don't talk too much, just now, we only found the body of an old man in the corridor of the bronze mirror, and in addition, the other four people were not found, they must have also entered these six corridors." ”

"What are you afraid of them for?" A man with a northeastern accent who hadn't spoken before said, "If you do bump into them, just let them take out all the clues, and if you don't take them, just take a gun and give them a few sieves." ”

Jing Yan was a little displeased, and said: "Don't think that you can be overbearing with a gun in your hand, since your gun is so powerful, why didn't you kill that monster just now?" ”

The Northeast Yankee was silent, as if he was choked by this sentence.

Sichuan Yan said again: "Wang Bagai, in the past few years, Lao Tzu has become more and more convinced of fate, think about it, it is true, since I and Lao Qin discovered the ghost village thirty years ago, a few of us have never stopped, and now, dead and dead, crazy and crazy, except for fate, I can't find any other words to describe all this." ”

"Crazy?" The Northeast asked, "Who's crazy?" ”

"You elm head, who else can there be?" Sichuan Yan said, "Of course it's that Fan Jiyun!" ”

As soon as I heard this, I chuckled in my heart—my father—is he crazy?
