Chapter 25: The Cellar
ο»Ώ
The middle-aged man said: "This red-headed scorpion is very sensitive to blood, and somehow it will provoke these things, find a way to lure them away." "It's late at night, I look over with a flashlight, and for a while I only feel frightened, the desert outside the tent is densely crawled with red-headed scorpions, this kind of scorpion is very small, the two pincers are red and shiny, thick and big, and crawl very quickly in the sand.
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the fat man said: "Then what are you waiting for, since this thing likes blood, which of you will let a little blood and lead them over." Don't look at the four eyes are timid and weak, but at this moment they are very brave, and immediately said, "I'll come." I subconsciously glanced at his resolute look, and then thought that along the way, this kid was obedient to the surname Zhang, and suddenly woke up.
The fat man smiled, patted the four-eyed shoulder and said, "Very good, the young man has a high consciousness, I support you, fat man, go ahead." After speaking, he directly handed over a dagger. Four-Eyes shook his head, tiptoed out of the tent, walked a little farther away, turned an earthen wall, and disappeared, and after a while, those red-headed scorpions seemed to sense something, turned around, and went to the place where Four-Eyes was invisible.
We waited for a while, and saw that the scorpion had gone without a shadow, and the fat man and I couldn't care so much, so we quickly opened Dr. Zhang's tent, and the red-headed scorpion crawled silently, so I and the fat man opened the tent and found that the two women were sleeping soundly, fortunately, these two people were in the desert, and they were also sleeping in clothes, so I had no scruples, and was about to wake them up, when the fat man suddenly pulled my arm, and then pointed to the German beauty sleeping on the side.
The desert night was very cold, and they covered it with a thin layer of inflatable duvet, this compressed quilt was stacked in a small piece, and after unfolding, it opened freely, and after a short time, it would bulge, and it was very cold-resistant, but at this time, the quilt was bulging a small piece, and kept moving again, as if something was crawling under the quilt.
The fat man and I looked at each other, and then the fat man quietly walked into the German beauty, and immediately took the quilt and slowly lifted it from behind. I was right in front, and as soon as the fat quilt was connected, the body covered by the German beauty was suddenly revealed, and this look suddenly made my scalp tingle.
I saw that under the quilt, from the lower abdomen to the root of the thighs of the German beauty, there were four red-headed scorpions, and these four red-headed scorpions were bigger than those outside, the size of an adult's fist.
The fat man's action of picking up the quilt alarmed the red-headed scorpion, and the four scorpions suddenly got into the clothes of the German beauty very quickly, and I secretly said that it was not good, at this time, the German beauty suddenly moved, and it seemed that she was going to wake up.
As soon as she woke up, the fat man immediately pressed her shoulder and said, "Don't move." The beautiful woman obviously didn't understand how the fat man and I were here, if this was a Chinese girl, I am afraid that she would have screamed a pervert, but she was still calm, and her eyes wandered over us in confusion, but this wandering only lasted for a few seconds, and she quickly noticed that something was wrong, and then she looked down at her stomach, and suddenly her face was so frightened by the crawling things in her clothes that she almost struggled.
The fat man hurriedly pressed her tightly and roared: "Tell you not to move, naΓ―ve, what to do." At this movement, the surname Zhang also woke up, and when she saw this posture, her face suddenly changed, and she said in a low voice: "What is it?" β
I said, "Red-headed scorpion." After speaking, the surname Zhang seemed to remember something, and suddenly with a look of annoyance, he quickly moved carefully to the position where the equipment was placed, and after rummaging inside, he found a pair of long-headed tweezers, and I immediately patted it on my head, this woman is really smart.
Then she took out another can of beef, pulled the can halfway open, poured out the beef, and threw a pair of tweezers at me, giving me a wink. I already understood what Dr. Zhang meant, and immediately moved next to the German beauty, who was already frightened and didn't dare to move.
Then, I used the long tweezers to clamp the hem of the German beauty's clothes, and then gently pulled it up, when the time, there was a red-headed scorpion drilled out, strangely, as soon as it came out, it crawled to the root of the German beauty's thighs, I thought about it, and finally understood why it attracted these red-headed scorpions, I couldn't help but sigh, it was really hard to be a woman. If you think about the squirming expressions of the German beauties during the day, it is estimated that the menstrual period of women has arrived, and I think they must not have thought of bringing sanitary napkins when they go into the desert.
After the first red-headed scorpion crawled out, Dr. Zhang quickly picked it up with tweezers, then stuffed it into the jar, sealed the iron sheet, and then came out of the second one, we cooperated very tacitly, not long after, the four scorpions were packed into the iron can, the four of us just took a breath, we heard three gunshots suddenly outside, the first was a single sound, the second and third sounds were continuous, it seemed very compact.
When Dr. Zhang heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "They are firing warning shots, hurry, put on the equipment on their backs, let's go." β
The middle-aged man probably covered the four eyes, we couldn't see him when we got out of the tent, and the tent was too late to pack up at the moment, so we carried the remaining two equipment bags on our backs and hurriedly ran in the direction of the gunshot.
In the darkness we turned on two flashlights, shuttling through the dilapidated ruins, some of which collapsed like a stone pile, and some of which were still standing, and we couldn't see the end at a glance, and we turned around a few times, and we saw a pool of blood on the ground, and many red-headed scorpions were lingering around, and it was estimated that Four Eyes had just bled in this position.
There are hundreds of red-headed scorpions gathered here, but they are nowhere near the size of what we have just seen, and if I am not mistaken, they must be chasing the four eyes. As soon as the remaining hundred or so red-headed scorpions saw the three of us, they immediately began to surround us.
I don't have a good heart, subconsciously pulled the arm surnamed Zhang and began to retreat, before we could react, these red-headed scorpions have crawled over at a very fast speed, they are good at crawling in the desert, the speed is no less than that of snakes, the faster they climb, the louder the sound created, rustling, like countless silkworms gnawing mulberry leaves.
The fat man suddenly scolded: ", little dragon girl, these scorpions like your foreign blood." The German beauty was so anxious that she almost didn't cry, and I immediately scolded and said, "Dead fatty, where is your gentlemanly spirit,, don't run yet." After saying that, I grabbed Dr. Zhang next to me and started to turn around and run.
A group of four of us ran wildly in the ruins, in the dark, without arguing the direction, the fat man flashed a flashlight in the back, scolded and scolded: "Innocent, you have a fucking daughter-in-law and forget your brother, the fat man wants to break up with you." β
In the dark, it is easy to bump into the ancient ruins if you are not careful, I heard the fat man scold, and then I reacted, and quickly let go of Dr. Zhang's hand, and then scolded: "Lao Tzu is taking care of female compatriots, you know a fart, divide it, the three-legged toad is easy to find, and the two-legged fat man is not easy to find." β
The fat man was half dead in anger, and was about to come back, when Dr. Zhang suddenly said, "Wait." She stopped suddenly, and we were all caught off guard, and then she added, "The voice is gone." β
As soon as I listened, I found that the sound of the red-headed scorpion had disappeared, and there was only the whistling sound of the night wind in the wind, and the fat man and I took a flashlight in our hands, and suddenly took the flashlight to shine around.
At this time, the German beauty suddenly sighed and said in Chinese, which is not very fluent: "Look at it, there is a hole there." β
Holes?
The fat man laughed out loud and said, "What a hole, the fat man will take a look." "We gathered the lights in one place, only to find that the hole in the mouth of the German beauty is a square underground entrance, the top of the entrance has collapsed, it can be seen that this should be a large scale of buildings, this square underground entrance, the lights passed, you can vaguely see the yellowing stone steps, there is yellow sand everywhere, it seems that this building, once was indeed covered by yellow sand, probably the black storm, changed the desert terrain, so this ruins were revealed.
This terrain entrance, about the former cellar or something.
At this time, Dr. Zhang suddenly snatched the flashlight from my hand and hit the light straight into the depths of the entrance, I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she was interested in this cellar? At this time, she suddenly turned her head and began to talk to the little dragon girl in German, the fat man and I couldn't understand what they said, the fat man couldn't help but be a little angry, put his arm around my shoulders, and muttered in my ear: "It's a shame that you went to pull her just now, damn, you didn't treat us as your own people at all, and you don't know what German you say." β
I remembered my reaction just now, and I also felt a little uncomfortable, and I couldn't help muttering in my heart, did I really let the fat man guess correctly, I fell in love with this surname Zhang? No, I can't bear this, so I will be surnamed Zhang, and I will not be eaten to death in the future? Rather than this, I might as well be a bachelor for a lifetime, and immediately said to the fat man: "I have a high revolutionary consciousness, and when danger comes, I will protect the female comrades first, and besides, you are a big man, if I just took your hand and ran, then we can't wash it even if we jump into the Yellow River." β
The fat man looked at me with disdain and said, "You can just pretend, but the fat man can remind you that this woman is not something you can digest, be careful of indigestion and stomach cancer." "I admit that I have a little difference to the surname Zhang, but before the fat man said it, I was about to explain it clearly, when the two of them suddenly stopped muttering German, and the surname Zhang suddenly beckoned to me and said, "We want to go down and have a look." β
I was stunned and said, "Dr. Zhang, you are the team leader, of course we have no opinion on what you want to do, but in the current situation, we are separated from Xiao Li and them, and they are likely to be in danger, so it's not good to delay at this time?" β
To be honest, this ancient ruins buried under the yellow sand suddenly revealed, I am also very curious, after all, it is a civilization more than 2,000 years ago, and I am dealing with antiques, it is impossible to say that there is no curiosity, but experience tells me that curiosity can really kill people, and the goal of me and the fat man to enter the desert this time is very clear, so the trouble that can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible.
Dr. Zhang shook her head and smiled suddenly, although it was shallow, but I still noticed it, and then she said, "What do you think is in this?" "What can there be? Cellar?
