Chapter 25: The Archaeological Team
I am a veteran with Tofu, and I went up to the beam of the house after dividing five by two. The beams are so wide that one can almost stand and walk on them, with a place for both feet. A thick layer of black ash accumulated on the beams of the house, and under the light of the flashlight, I saw that above the entire hall, the beams and pillars were vertical and horizontal, like a huge spider web, and I couldn't see the end at a glance.
The three of us looked downward, thinking that if we stood high and saw far away, we could find the traces of Zhen Rui, but who would have thought that even above, the cloth sail still obstructed people's vision, making us feel like blind people. As soon as I saw it, I couldn't see it clearly, and I said that it would not work to just do it, so I should leave this hall first, with the wisdom of the people of Zhen Rui, I should not get lost in it, not to mention that there is a resourceful Gu Da beauty.
Thinking of this, I found the direction of the inner side of the main hall, and led the two of them to the inside on the beam. Walking and walking, Tofu said: "This hall is quite clean, I remember when we were in the Horned Snake Temple, the beams of the house were really disgusting, cockroaches, mice, and money strings got goosebumps just thinking about it." ”
I was walking in front of me, and when I heard the words of tofu, I couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in my heart: the beams of the house are a dark place, the most breeding ground for snakes, insects, rats and ants, this place is not these things except dust, why is it so clean? Xiao Jing walked at the back, and when she heard that there would be cockroaches on the beams of the house, she was suddenly even more scared, her feet slipped, and the whole person almost fell, but fortunately, she hugged a beam next to her in time to prevent her from falling.
Tofu pulled her by the hand, and then handed me a disdainful look, the meaning seemed very clear: Let you, now you know the trouble, right?
I knew that I was at a loss, touched my nose, beckoned Xiao Jing to concentrate, and then touched the beam of the house and continued to walk forward. At this moment, I noticed that behind the beams and pillars in front of me, there seemed to be a black thing, squirming slightly, like a big rat or something. In such a high place, and there is no dependence, fortunately I walked in front, if this was seen by the timid Tofu and Xiao Jing, Bacheng would be frightened and fall down directly, so I made a pause gesture and said: "There seems to be something in front, you stand and don't move first, I'll go up and take a look." ”
I turned on the flashlight and walked forward, and the thing in front of me didn't seem to be afraid of people, and instead of running away, it squirmed even more. Holding my breath, I approached the beam, turned the corner of the beam, and saw the thing clearly. When I saw this thing, I gasped, because I had seen this thing, called 'human head digger', and it looked very similar to a mouse, with a pair of sharp claws, and a flat head full of folds, which resembled a human face.
This thing is in the depths of the mountains in western Henan, and is called 'devil rat' by the locals, because it is said that during the Anti-Japanese War, there were too many dead corpses, and these deep human head rats were attracted to be seen, and according to legend, they were transformed by dead corpses, which could spread plague and viruses the most.
When I was collecting mountain goods in the western part of Henan, I once heard the villagers describe that they said that this thing lives on snakes and insects on weekdays, and will eat carrion when hungry, and nothing else, the most terrible thing is that they carry a lot of viruses, and they will be killed by bitten bites or claws.
I thought it was a big mouse, but who knew it was a human-headed wriddle, and then I thought about the strange black shadow that was chasing us under the cloth sail just now, and my heart said: Could it be that it was a waffling mole that chased us just now? But how could this rat have feet? These thoughts were only for a split second, and I reacted immediately, placing the shovel sideways in front of me.
The tip of the shovel is sharp and heavy, and a shovel used to cut off half of a person's head. If this wrivet-digging really dares to attack, I will not be afraid of it, but it is not easy to use it on the beams of the house, and if you are not careful, you will fall to pieces.
With that in mind, I slowly stepped back and pressed my back against a pillar to stabilize my figure.
The tofu in the back saw my movements and knew that something was wrong, so he whispered to Xiao Jing: "Don't move, I don't care about you if something happens." "Tofu is a person with a straight intestine, who he likes and who he hates, he always has a face on his face. After he finished speaking, he walked over to me and asked in a low voice, "Old Chen, what is it?" ”
"It's a ground mouse, it's poisonous, and if you bite or fish, you can die. It's not going to be difficult yet, so don't come here. "The beams are narrow, and the tofu won't help much, but it will make me unable to use it. When Tofu heard this, he stopped moving forward, and there was silence around him for a moment.
No wonder there are no snakes and ants in this place, they must have been eaten by this human head digger. It was long and fat, and it looked oily and slippery in the light, and it looked like a human face on its head, with a flat nose and two eyes the size of a dragon's eye, which looked straight at me. I used to spend a lot of time in the mountains, and I knew the habits of animals better, but I saw the two paws of the human head digger gopher stretched forward, and the whiskers on both sides of the mouth quivered, which was a prelude to an attack.
I secretly regretted it, I knew that there was now, I should have followed Gu Da Mei at that time, among our group, Gu Da Mei brought a gun, I don't know if there is a gun over there, but they should be easier to get a gun, I think eighty percent also have hot weapons, but they didn't take them out.
If Gu Wenmin is here, with her accurate marksmanship, it is estimated that it will be solved with one shot, but at this moment, I can only be on guard against the human head digger, the sense of the animals is very sensitive, they can judge the strength and momentum of the prey to attack. I'll have to overpower it in momentum first, which will help weaken its combat power and even scare it away.
As the minutes passed, the trembling of the gopher's whisker slowly weakened, and finally suddenly he turned around, shook his fat big buttocks, and ran along the beams of the house. I breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that it was a fluke, this human-headed gopher had never seen a human being, and I fooled him away.
However, at this time, I noticed a strange phenomenon, the head of the waffle crawled forward along a beam, and then slid down a beam, and for some reason there were many fewer sails in that place, and at the same time, by the dim light, I saw several figures.
Those figures were shuttling in the cloth sails, and they seemed to be looking for a way out, needless to say, it must be the four of them, so I hurriedly shouted: "Wen Min, be careful!" "The head digger ran down, they didn't know it, they could easily sneak up. After shouting, I hurriedly greeted Tofu and Xiao Jing and said, "Quick, let's join the team." ”
The three of them no longer delayed, and crawled down the ground along the beams and pillars, and with our shouting, the curtain on the right side was suddenly opened, and a few people came out. When I saw these people, I was stunned for a moment, because they were not from the Yuanrui.
Tofu was also dumbfounded, staring at the few people in front of him, and said, "Who are you?" How is it here? ”
The men were all dressed in outdoor clothes, with many small pockets on their clothes, all of which were stuffed and bulging, and they looked tired. Seeing the three of us, the youngest girl in the group opened her mouth and said happily, "Great, we have been wandering around this place for many days, and we finally see people." ”
I looked at these people, and my heart suddenly shuddered. It's not strange to meet people in other places, but what is this place? This is the Yashan Treasure Hall that suddenly appeared, how could ordinary people appear here? At this moment, I saw a line written on the chest of their outdoor clothes: Institute of Archaeology.
I asked, "Are you from the archaeological team?" ”
The little girl, with two braids, nodded, looked at the three of us curiously, and asked me, "How do you know?" "Listening to the accent is still northern. So I pointed to my chest, and the little girl smiled and asked, "What are you doing, how did you come to this place?" "We had experience with this, and we lied about it as an outdoor expedition, so the men didn't say anything, panted and wiped their sweat, and told us about the place.
The leader is a middle-aged man with glasses, who introduces himself as Luo Weiyin, according to him, this place seems to be a labyrinth, and these people have been trapped here for many days, tried various methods, and failed to get out, and finally, several people found a clue, that is, these cloth sails, they can actually move.
Tofu didn't notice anything wrong with the group of people in the slightest, and asked curiously: "Move? Why didn't I see it? ”
At this point, I quietly looked above my head.
On the curtain above, there were faintly hanging black shadows of several human figures, the yin wind blowing, and the human figures also swayed, and the skin occasionally exposed to the light was a layer of air-dried black skin, the clothes on the body, and the five people in front of them...... Same.
I think I already know the identities of these five people, but at the moment, I can only pretend not to know. If I'm not mistaken, the five people who were eaten back then should have been them.
The Yashan Treasure Palace, built in imitation of the Yin Si Treasure Palace, is a place for ghosts to enter and exit, and these five 'people' in front of you ...... Has it been in this place for so many years?
Tofu and Xiao Jing didn't realize it, tofu has always been cooked, and soon the fight with the five people was hot, so they listened to Luo Weiyin, who was the leader, explained; "For example, if you're in a forest, you're walking straight ahead, but what would you do if a tree appeared in front of you?"
Tofu said: "Then it is needless to say, go around the tree and continue to walk forward." ”
Luo Weiyin said: "What if there are many trees? ”
Tofu frowned, understood, and showed a sudden realization, saying; "I remember, when I was in college, my teacher said, what is this called transfer?"
The little girl from the archaeological team covered her mouth and snickered, "It's called reference transfer." It seems to be walking in a straight line, but in fact we have slowly changed our route because we are constantly avoiding trees, because every time we avoid a tree, there will be some very small distance differences, and we can't feel the slightest distance difference, but if we keep developing, we will go around in circles in places that others have set up. ”
