Chapter 197: The Posture of the Female Corpse
Shen Yue smashed those two blows on the ice, leaving two white marks, and it was no problem to walk on the ice. Shen Yue and I went around along the surface of the lake, but there was still nothing but ice down there, and there didn't seem to be anything else.
However, as we approached the cliff on the other side, we saw the bronze chain extending from above again. It was too far away on the cliff before, but it felt rough and rough. When I looked at it, the bronze chain was as thick as a human thigh.
Due to the age, coupled with the heavy humidity in this valley, the surface of the bronze chain is covered with a thick layer of patina, and the lines on the bronze chain are no longer visible.
I pulled the black-scaled dagger from my waist and scraped it a few times on the bronze chain.
The patina on the surface was scraped off, revealing the lines on the bronze chain inside, and I was stunned when I saw this, because the lines on the bronze chain were the same as those on the bronze chain on the side of the slope. At the same time, there is a section in the middle of my grandfather's cigarette pouch pot that also has this pattern.
At this time, Shen Yue also came over to take a look, and he asked, "What is this?" ”
I just shook my head, I really don't know why this pattern appears in front of me so many times, what this thing represents, then I don't know.
With the black-scaled dagger in hand, I continued to scrape the bronze chain twice, thinking about studying it carefully. At the same time, I also recalled the record in Grandpa's secret record, will there be such a thing in Grandpa's secret record?
The black-scaled dagger is very sharp, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it sharpens iron like mud, otherwise it would not be possible to pierce the life gate of the big black snake. I held the dagger in my backhand, and I was only scraping the surface of the patina, but when I scraped it hard, I actually cut off a piece of copper from the bronze chain.
Shen Yue immediately took a yellow talisman from his pocket, picked up the piece of copper that fell on the ground, and looked at it carefully, it seemed that there was no difference from an ordinary copper piece on the cross-section.
At the same time, I felt as if the ice under my feet had suddenly moved.
Shen Yue's face also changed, he immediately wrapped the copper sheet and stuffed it into his pocket, and then, the ice under his feet shook again.
How could there be movement on the surface of an icy lake?
When I looked back at the bronze chain, I heard a bang, the bronze chain quickly straightened, and the ice around the bronze chain quickly cracked in all directions.
", Xiaofan, run!" Shen Yue roared, pulled out his legs and ran.
But this is on the ice, it was already very slippery, the more rapid it was, the more he couldn't run, Shen Yue rushed out less than two meters and fell directly on his heels, and slipped out a few meters away.
My feet steadied and I immediately moved away from the bronze chain, and my heart tightened. At the same time, I felt that my feet did not seem to be out of balance, and if the ice was completely shattered by the bronze chains, it would definitely be out of balance.
Indeed, white streaks stretched from the bronze chain in all directions, and the entire ice showed no signs of collapsing, and after a few seconds, the extension of the crack in the ice just now also stopped after a moment.
I looked carefully at the bronze chain, and it seemed to be fine. I crouched down, took out my spare flashlight, wiped it on the ice, and looked down on it.
Below the surface of the ice, you can see the cross-section of the cracks, and you can tell how thick the ice in the lake is, and it is possible that the entire lake has frozen in water.
Shen Yue saw that my side was fine, so he smashed the butt of his gun into the ice to stop his tendency to slide to the other side.
"Shen Yue, come and see!" I gestured at him.
Not only did I see how thick the ice was in the lake, but I also saw other things under the ice, and there seemed to be a figure below, but it was a bit far away, and I couldn't see it clearly, and I didn't know if it was something else under the ice.
"Little one, what did you find?" Shen Yue asked, and he walked over cautiously.
"Just come and see!" I said.
Shen Yue came over, looked down from the piece I just rubbed, and after looking at it for a while, he said: "It seems that there is someone, but I'm not sure, his mother is too far away, and I can't see it clearly under the ice!" ”
"Is it possible that those who came down from the cliffs are under the ice?" I asked, this is just a conjecture, and there are a lot of irrationalities.
"It's unlikely, it's ice down here, it's not water, it's not the kind of amber you see on the slope, and you have to drill a hole to get in. What's more, didn't Zhang Ling's little sister also say it just now, she hasn't been here for a long time, if it was originally on the surface of the water, and the water was all frozen after the person fell into the water, the process would definitely not be so fast. A layer of ice forms on the surface of the water very quickly, but it is really not very difficult to freeze it all. Shen Yue analyzed, these are indeed unreasonable.
He said, and I nodded, but if people weren't under the ice, where would they be?
The light was on where Shen Yue fell out just now, and Shen Yue realized that his flashlight had fallen off when he touched it at this time, and he said: "I went over and took down the flashlight, it was a wolf's eye flashlight, which is more penetrating than your flashlight, let's take a look!" ”
I nodded, Shen Yue walked over there, I wiped the ice again, and continued to look down.
After a while, Shen Yue suddenly let out an exclamation: "Fuck, your uncle, I'm scared to death!" "I was taken aback by Shen Yue's voice, after all, in this quiet environment, people can really be scared to death.
Shen Yue was sitting on the ground with a very ugly face, and I asked him, "What's wrong, what the hell are you?" ”
Shen Yue gestured at me, meaning to let me go over to see, I passed, Shen Yue pointed a flashlight under the ice, he said: "Look at it yourself,, it really scares me!" ”
I took the wolf's eye flashlight from his hand and shone it under the ice, I was also stunned, there were indeed people under the ice.
At a distance of about five or six meters from the ice, there was indeed a woman, who looked quite young, she had nothing on her, and only her back could be seen on the ice. At this time, I remembered the clothes scattered on the road just now, so she was indeed one of the missing villagers.
Perhaps, I was right in my thoughts, and the missing villagers are likely to be locked under this ice.
Although it is unreasonable, such a fact is in front of my eyes, and I have to believe it.
Other than that, I felt something strange about the girl's posture under the ice, her body curled up and her head bowed. I asked, "Shen Yue, don't you think she's a little weird?" ”
It's also a strange feeling.
"No, it's so cold under the ice, it's normal to curl up. In addition, think about it, if you are a big girl with yellow flowers and your clothes are gone, what is your first reaction? Shen Yue said, his words made me powerless to refute, but the words were not rough, it seemed to be true.
However, she didn't move at all, and her hair didn't move, indicating that she was in the ice, and ordinary people must have suffocated to death if they were frozen into the ice.
If the villagers were trapped under the ice, wouldn't all the missing people be dead? Thinking of this, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, after all, they were all living beings, and they died so much at once.
What is under the ice, could it be the thing that the second grandfather said?
"Xiaofan, come and see, there is still one here!" Shen Yue was lying on the other side of the ice and looking down, and he gestured to me as he watched.
I didn't go there, but scratched a random patch on the ground, and there was also a person frozen down there, exactly like the woman I had just seen.
Next, Shen Yue and I searched a large area around us, under this huge ice surface, all of them were people, and there was nothing on them, and it was obvious that the clothes thrown on the ground were theirs. There are too many people under the ice, and it is estimated that the second grandfather has only a part of the missing person data, in fact, there are more missing people.
I even imagine that they may all be alive, but in this case, even if they are alive, how can they save people?
"Little one, have you noticed that they all seem to be in the same position?" Shen Yue suddenly said such a sentence, but he reminded me.
That's right, all of them are in the same position, and they all look as if they are all curled up with their heads down. Moreover, they all seem to be moving in the same direction.
