Chapter 65: The Loyal "Watchdog"
The second uncle climbed on the roof of a house and observed the markings made of straw sticks and branches around him. His method is very effective, as long as something under the sand moves, the second uncle can immediately detect the approximate location of that thing.
After a few times, he noticed a strange phenomenon, this monster almost always lies in front of the black tower. The second uncle was a little curious, why did he always like to stay there? Is there something special there?
This thought became stronger and stronger in his mind, and finally the second uncle decided to find a time to go over and have a look. After a while, the opportunity came, and the second uncle judged that the thing was no longer in front of the Black Tower according to the movement of the markers on the ground, so he quickly climbed down the roof, and while redoing the markings along the road, he approached the location of the Black Tower.
When he walked to the front of the Black Tower, he noticed that the Black Tower also had a doorway in that position, but it was the same as the stone house behind it, and the entire doorway had been buried by yellow sand, and it was not until he got close that he could find the only remaining gap above the door.
The second uncle took out a flashlight and approached the gap and shone it inside, because he had to be careful, the monster under the sand would come back at any time. Therefore, with the help of the flashlight, the second uncle quickly glanced into the black tower, and immediately retreated and looked back at the mark behind him.
The second uncle was suddenly stunned, but it was not that there was any change in those marks, but that the second uncle recalled that he seemed to see something in the rapid sweep just now. And the shape of that thing is like a person, and it feels very familiar.
This situation will often occur in some film and television dramas, especially police and gangster films. The police and the bandits passed by, and after taking two steps, the police suddenly realized that this was the target.
These are not deliberate expressions in film and television dramas, but they do exist. We sometimes encounter this situation in our lives, when we walk down the street, our eyes sweep over the pedestrians passing by, and when we withdraw our gaze, we suddenly realize that we seem to have seen an acquaintance just now.
Scientifically, this is related to visual transience, when light enters the eye, it is first imaged by the lens, then photoreceptor cells sense the light, and then convert the light signal into nerve current, which is finally transmitted to the brain. Therefore, when people are looking at things, it takes a short time for the light signal to enter the brain nerves, so the visual image does not disappear immediately after the end of the light. If it happens that at this time, your brain is not concentrating, this time will also cause the brain to process nerve currents in a timely manner, resulting in a lag in the processing of visual information. In layman's terms, it is after reading it for a while, you realize what you have seen.
The second uncle is probably in such a situation now, he realizes that he saw a person just now, and he is still a familiar person. But he knew that it was impossible, how could he meet someone he knew in such a place! This puzzled him.
The second uncle looked back to make sure that the monster had not returned, so he put his head closer to the door again, this time he did not turn on the flashlight, but looked inside with the help of the natural light that came in from outside.
As soon as the second uncle's eyes approached the gap, his whole body immediately trembled, and the whole person was like being struck by lightning, and there was a roar in his head. The second uncle shouted and took two steps back.
Because the second uncle saw through the gap in the door that there was really a person standing against the wall inside, that person's face was pale, and he was obviously lifeless. A dead man, even if he dies a more miserable death, the second uncle will not be afraid, but this dead man is completely different, he has never been as afraid of a corpse as he is now, the key is because of the appearance of this dead man, he actually has a face exactly the same as the second uncle.
The second uncle sat down on the ground, his mind blank. But before he could come back to his senses, there was a sudden crackling sound next to him, and the second uncle's original markers were lying down one by one, and some were even knocked into the air.
The second uncle's face changed, and he hurriedly hid to the side, and at this time, on the ground at the entrance of the black tower, a big mouth full of fangs appeared, and a hoarse roar appeared, as if to warn the second uncle.
Frightened by this, the second uncle came back to his senses, he stood up, patted the sand on his body, and scolded: "You brute, Lao Tzu just look, you call a fart!" ”
I have to admire the second uncle's big heart, alone, in the ruins of a desolate ancient city, and have to deal with a monster hidden under the sand, and at the same time have to find a way to take away those few Uznamu, and I have seen such an evil thing! I'd be crazy if I had changed.
The second uncle climbed up to the roof again, took out some dry food, ate some food, and drank some water. Looking at the mark that was hit by the monster just now, the second uncle thought in his heart that he still had to end the matter here as soon as possible, if there was really no way, he could only give up these Uznamu first, and come back after he was ready in the future. Because, although there is a water source here and fresh water is abundant, food is limited, and you can't live by drinking water! Moreover, although this Uznamu is extremely precious, the main purpose of this time is to explore the secrets of the blood sand, and cannot put the cart before the horse.
After eating, the second uncle took out the stone box from his bag, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, there were only some simple patterns on the outside of the stone box, and there was nothing strange about it. The second uncle opened the stone box again, and as soon as he opened the lid of the stone box, he found that the monster in front of the black tower not far away had moved!
The second uncle's heart moved, it seems that the guy can sense this Uznamu, however, this stone box seems to play a certain role in isolation, but it can't be completely isolated, otherwise when he first planned to take away the stone box, he wouldn't have been discovered by the monster under the sand!
The second uncle looked at the Uznamu in his hand, and a strange idea suddenly popped up in his heart, and it was not only strange, but also a little ridiculous, but the second uncle just wanted to give it a try, and he couldn't control it.
While thinking about this, he took out the Uznamu from the stone box that he had made a mark with a knife, and the second uncle stood up and threw it out of the ruins with all his might.
Don't look at the second uncle who is a little older now, he was also a practicing family when he was young, and even now his hand strength is still not small. After this Uznamu was thrown out of the ruins by the second uncle, it flew a long way.
Look at the monster in front of the black tower, it moved the moment the Uzi Namu flew out of the ruins, and the second uncle watched it rush towards the Uzi Namu outside all the way.
After the monster rushed out of the ruins, there was no trace to be found, and the second uncle could only wait patiently. Soon, the marker on the ground moved, and the second uncle watched as the monster came directly to the house he was in.
The second uncle saw that after the sand was turning for a while, there was no movement. At this time, most of the markers on the ground had been destroyed, and the second uncle couldn't see where the specific thing had gone, so it should have left.
The second uncle thought about it, waited for a while, climbed down from the top of the house, reached out and dug where the sand was turned just now, and searched again, and actually found the Uzinamu that he threw out.
Looking at the Uznamu in his hand, the second uncle smiled, he suddenly felt that the monster under the sand was not so terrifying, but a little cute!
The second uncle raised his hand and threw the Uznamu in his hand out of the ancient city again, and this time it was basically the same as last time.
When the second uncle said this, my jaw was about to drop to the ground! I didn't expect the second uncle to follow the monster in the sand to play "Dog Frisbee", which is really awesome! The second uncle really used this thing as a dog!
Obviously, the monster under the sand that the second uncle said should be the same monster that killed the Ma Liangping brothers, Ziya and Aman on the edge of the sea. At that time, we felt that this thing was simply the coming of death, and in the mouth of the second uncle, it was like a watchdog!
I asked the second uncle, "Do you know that there is actually a second monster?" ”
The second uncle smiled bitterly and shook his head, "To be honest, I have also thought about this issue before. But there was no sign of other monsters, so I didn't care. It wasn't until the end that I found out that there was another one, and I was also lucky, it was really blessed by my grandfather! ”
Later, the second uncle passed several tests at that time, and found that every time this monster brought Uzinamu back from outside the ancient city, he would always put it in the closest position to the stone box.
The series of performances of this monster made the second uncle breathtaking, how was this trained? No animal can live for thousands of years, that is, this monster breeds and survives in the depths of the desert. At the same time, taking this ancient city as his own territory, and guarding Uznamu as his own thing, this is a kind of inheritance from generation to generation, is this animal so advanced that it already has the idea of inheritance?
The second uncle really can't wait to see the true face of this strange monster under the sand. It was also at this time that the second uncle thought about whether there would be other monsters, but the second uncle didn't think about it deeply, because he felt that it was possible that such monsters were rare, and maybe they were on the verge of extinction.
But even if the second uncle has these discoveries, what's the use? It was also still impossible to take Uznamu away, and at this time it was already getting dark, and the second uncle decided that if there was still no way to do it tomorrow, he could only give up first.
The second uncle picked up his backpack, lay down on the roof, and when he walked to the exit of the ancient city, he took out the stone box from his bag and buried it in the sand by the city wall.
After burying it, the second uncle looked at the location of the buried stone box, sighed regretfully, turned around and walked out. He had planned to set up camp outside the city in a place where the sand dunes were leeward. But after thinking about it, who knows if the monster will come out at night to forage for food, and it won't hurt itself during the day, and don't become a monster's supper at night.
After thinking about it, although the roof of the ancient city may be colder, it is more stable compared to there, so the second uncle turned around and walked back.
He set up a tent on the roof, and chose a suitable place to light a fire, fortunately, these houses are all stone structures, just like the one under the feet of the second uncle, the roof is all made of stones, I really don't know how these stones were transported here in the first place!
Soon it was completely dark, and the second uncle didn't notice it, and gradually a few black shadows approached the ancient city where the second uncle was!
