My cousin first let out a long sigh and paused slightly, and then said slowly: "As you all know, I study history, not natural science, so I can only talk about many things I encounter today from a historical perspective, and I don't know what the reasons are. ”

When my cousin said this, he suddenly asked us, "Do you remember that 'rain Gu'?" ”

Of course we remember that kind of weird Gu - the last time it rained, there was a hole in the yard, no matter how it was blocked, and with that hole as the center, there were holes in all four directions, in fact, it was a special kind of Gu, and the people who lived here, as long as it rained, they would fall into that kind of Gu, as soon as they left this place, their heart and blood pressure would have problems, and they would even die in the end, and Mr. Chen's high school classmate would most likely die like this.

And Mr. and Mrs. Chen, when they left this place, they also fell into that kind of Gu and almost died, and after this kind of Gu was discovered by his cousin, he was cracked.

What everyone didn't understand was that at this time, why did my cousin suddenly mention that kind of Gu.

Seeing everyone nodding, my cousin continued: "That kind of 'rain Gu' seems to have some kind of connection with the death zone on the other side of the crack. ”

The cousin's words made everyone feel extremely frightened, and Crazy Six asked in surprise, "Could it be that there is a similar Gu on the other side of the crack?" When we get there, if it rains, we'll fall into the Gu, and then we won't be able to leave there again? ”

After listening to the words of the madman six, the cousin neither nodded nor shook his head, but sighed and said: "Whether it is really as the old-timers said, I don't know, but our local chronicles, once recorded such a strange thing, but it seems to be related to the death zone on the other side of the crack - it was in the Spring and Autumn Period, one winter, there was a heavy snow that had not been seen in a hundred years, but the two small countries nearby were fighting in this area, killing you to the death, when this heavy snow fell, the troops of the two countries, the casualties of the soldiers were heavier, Not because of the war, but because of the fact that on this snowy day, a large number of soldiers died of cold and starvation.

That winter, I don't know what the reason is, it should be regarded as abnormal weather, it is said that our area is generally not so cold, nor will it snow so much, the soldiers of the two countries are all trapped in the mountains, people from outside can't get in, people in the mountains can't get out, in the knee-deep snow, there is almost no food, so 40,000 or 50,000 people on both sides, almost all died here.

But in the end, more than 100 people survived, because more than 100 people, found a strange place in the mountains, there was no snow at all, and it was lush, and the vegetation was still like summer, if this phenomenon alone, we can also explain it with geothermal heat, that is, that place, because there are hot springs and the like underground, so the surface temperature is very high, so there is no snow, and even some plants can grow.

But if this is the case, there is a little bit of explanation: if it is really geothermal, then there must be a lot of animals that will gather in such a place with high temperatures, and there should even be some hibernating animals, such as snakes, frogs, etc., because in some areas with geothermal heat, in winter, there is often a phenomenon of this kind of animal gathering, and animals are very sensitive to the temperature of the earth's surface.

The more than 100 people who survived clearly mentioned that in that place, they didn't see any animals, they deliberately looked for it, but they didn't even find a single bug.

And the temperature in that place was indeed relatively high, so they didn't freeze to death, and these more than 100 people happened to be in charge of grain and grass, so they stored a lot of grain, so they survived.

But what outsiders couldn't figure out was why others hadn't found the place they had found, since it wasn't in a cave. Only more than 100 of them found out.

The surviving people did not elaborate on these secrets, but only explained that the place where they survived was very strange, and that the gods had sent them there, and that others could only look at them through a deep ditch and not be able to pass through.

Just the following year, something stranger happened.

In the winter of the second year after these people came out, after the first snow, for some reason, more than 100 people died on the snow, and their faces after death were very hideous, their faces were blue, and they looked like they should have died in great pain, but each of them had no injuries on their bodies.

It is incomprehensible why more than 100 people died on the snow outside the house on the night of the first snowfall, in different places, without exception.

At that time, the common people said that the reason why the more than 100 people who survived did not die with so many people must have used some despicable means and done unsightly things, so those tens of thousands of dead souls came to them to ask for their lives.

This incident caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and the kings of several small nearby countries specially made altars and started rituals for those dead soldiers, which lasted for two months.

When I was on the other side of the crack and couldn't see a single living thing, I suddenly thought about it, and I felt creepy, so I hurried everyone back.

For I had a vague feeling that the place where the hundred or so people who survived must have been in the 'death zone' on the other side of the crevasse, and that they might have stumbled upon the cave, and then they took their food and went through it, and did not tell the secret to the other soldiers.

It is understandable why they did this—if the soldiers knew about the cave and had gone through it, then more than a hundred of them would not have survived, because the food would soon be eaten, so that they could survive the cave by concealing it, or simply blocking the cave so that the soldiers could not pass it.

It is conceivable that on this side of the crack, thousands of soldiers, looking at more than a hundred people on the opposite side, do not have to starve, but they can't get by, how tormenting that feeling will be, if there is that stone pillar at that time, many people will definitely rush to climb to the opposite side, but it is certain that no one can succeed, because of the strong gravitational pull, they will fall down one by one and die.

But in the end, perhaps no one expected that - these more than 100 soldiers who escaped death only lived one year longer than their comrades, and in the first heavy snow of the following year, they died mysteriously, and died so strangely, for some reason, I always felt that this was very similar to that kind of 'rain Gu'. ”

After hearing what my cousin said this, all of us were silent, and although my cousin had told us about the strangeness of that place from a historical point of view, we still didn't know why this was the case.

But if it's really similar to that kind of "rain Gu", we don't have to worry about it - because that kind of Gu can only work after a snowy day, so it won't have much effect on us.

But only when we thoroughly understand the reasons can we be completely sure.

It's a pity that we are in the mountains, and communication is extremely inconvenient, otherwise, you can ask Sister Li's cousin Yang Hui, he is a microbiologist, this kind of mysterious Gu is generally a bacterium or a certain virus, and it can only have an effect on people after encountering a special environment.

At the earliest, Sister Li and I found the box in the cemetery, which was also researched by Li Hui, and what is more valuable is that he not only has profound professional attainments, but also has a deep study of literature and history, and has a broad knowledge horizon.

But now it's useless to say this, this is deep in the mountains, there is no mobile phone signal at all, and even the satellite phone of the female translator, the signal is still intermittent.

However, I still put the idea out - although I thought it was useless to say it - but when the female translator heard it, she seemed to think of something suddenly and said: "Well, this is the right way to think, although we can't get in touch with the microbiologist, but I can ask my colleague who used to tell us about stones, she also studied a similar profession, and she has a wide range of knowledge." ”

Usually, because of the language barrier, we haven't let the two of them participate in many recent actions, but through the explanation of the female assistant last time and the stone, we know that the female assistant is really hidden, and the relevant knowledge is really rich.

The kind of stone that makes people lose their memories for a while just by looking at it with a magnifying glass, none of us know what it is, but she knows it, and the dissecting it is so clear that it is indeed not to be underestimated.

So, the female translator told the Japanese female assistant about the "death zone" in Japanese.

The female assistant listened very carefully, and nodded while listening, and the two talked in Japanese for a long time, and finally finished speaking, although we didn't understand what they said specifically, but from the looks of the two, we all felt that the female assistant seemed to know something about this kind of thing, which made everyone very excited.

After a long time, before the two of them finished speaking, the female translator turned to us and said, "That's right, my colleague really knows something about this kind of thing." ”

I was the first to say excitedly, "Oh, that's great, so tell me what's going on."

The female translator looked at me, her face flushed slightly, smiled, and said in her gentle voice, "Okay, my female colleague said ......"

The female translator hadn't finished saying this, and suddenly, she saw the "monkey eagle" next to her soar into the air, screamed, and flew out at once, this sudden move surprised all of us, everyone knew that this must be what the "monkey eagle" had discovered.

We all ran out at once, but when we went out to look, the "Monkey Eagle" had already flown far away, and we vaguely saw that it seemed to be chasing something, and that thing should not be big, it looked like a small black dot, and in a few seconds, the "Monkey Eagle" and the little black dot were gone.

What's going on? What is the "Monkey Eagle" chasing?

Of course, the old man Ouyang was the most worried, he shouted a few times, but the "Monkey Eagle" had disappeared without a trace, and the old man Ouyang pulled his legs and chased in the direction where the "Monkey Eagle" flew.

We also followed closely behind, and this qiē was so sudden that everyone was a little dazed for a while.
