Chapter 4 Mud Ponds
It took less than ten minutes to open a hole that could be passed, and destruction was always more efficient than construction.
Zhang Haike and the others rushed in and lit torches, and after entering the brick wall, they found that the situation here was completely different from what they thought.
First of all, the mud, behind the brick wall is a huge stone hall, except for their side of the brickwork, the rest of the parts are all large stones, but it is not clear what material the stone is, the whole hall is filled with mud, and there is a very oblique stone edge around it, which can be walked, and the body is sitting on the stone edge.
When they went in, they pushed the corpse, and the corpse was poured into the mud, Zhang Haike helped him up, and found that the joints of the corpse could still be moved, wearing clothes from the early Republic of China, and his legs were tied. He wanted to take a good look at the corpses, but he quickly dismissed the idea because he found that this huge mud pool was full of such corpses.
It was not clear from the condition of the corpses how deep the mud was, some of the corpses did not have a roof, some of the corpses reached the waist, the mud was green and very viscous, which made people sick.
They walked around the edge of the stone and found that there was no passage to the rest of the stone hall in this stone hall.
"Just a little place?" said one of them.
Zhang Haike said: "The submerged part of the people on the side is high, and the people in the middle are low, this mud pool is a bucket shape, and there should be openings under the mud to other places." ”
"Holy damn. ”
"The corpses in the mud were wearing eye guards and things to protect their mouths and noses, and even if there were no mouths, they were fishing for things in them. But I tend to have channels. Zhang Haike said, "Because everyone is connected by ropes, and our judgment just now is wrong, this opening is not what the people outside want to close, but the people inside." You see, the traces of the seal are all inside. These people sealed themselves inside. ”
"You're saying, I'm afraid there's something strange in this mud, they don't want it to hurt people, so they sacrifice themselves?"
"I've never thought of our business as noble. There are bricks on the ground outside, which means that the people inside are constantly blocking, and there are people outside who are constantly trying to dig in, and we don't know the specific situation, but we have to send someone to watch the opening. It should be safe inside. ”
"No one is like the Zhang family, when digging brick walls, they dig bricks, and everyone knocks bricks into the wall, only we dig out. Don't talk nonsense. ”
"I'm not. Zhang Haike suddenly took a breath, took out the pocket watch again, and opened it for them to look at the photo, "Do you know who this person is?"
Several people shook their heads when they looked at it. Zhang Haike looked at the hole where they came in and said, "This person is Zhang Qiling's father, I saw it when I was a child. ”
Picking up a corpse, Zhang Haike put a torch close to the corpse's hideous face and said, "You take a closer look at the faces and hands of these corpses, these are all members of the Zhang family, and all of them have the characteristics of the Zhang family. ”
"Huh?" these people went to look at it, and when they saw the fingers of the corpse, they were so long that they all turned earthy.
"What's going on?"
"I know that Zhang Qiling's father is dead, but the family is secretive about these deaths, we are afraid that we have been deceived this time, and someone arranged for us to come here in this place. ”
"Who?"
Zhang Haike turned around: "It's Zhang Qiling, this little ghost, we came all the way and were led here, you recall, it seems that all the information provided by him." He paused, then continued, "Is it for his father's corpse that this kid has brought us all here?"
"it, I'll go up and break his neck. One of them was furious. Zhang Haike immediately waved his hand: "Wait a minute, the death of these Zhang family members is too suspicious, Zhang Qiling should not want to harm us, but want us to see the death of these people." He might just be trying to figure out how his dad died?"
"It's not. The other said, "Come and see here." ”
Several people turned their heads and saw that the man had jumped into the mud and carried another corpse, and he twisted the head of the corpse with great force, and instantly twisted the head of the corpse off, very easily.
"The neck is broken, and there are many injuries on these bodies. He said, "There have been a lot of fights here, and they were killed by the Zhang family." Some of these people were murdered, and it was the Zhang family who killed them. This is the scene of our family's infighting. ”
Several people looked at each other, in fact, everyone knew a little bit about the family infighting, but seeing such a scene, these children were still a little indigestible.
"Zhang Qiling's father was murdered by our own family?" one of them became frightened, "Damn, his father is dead, our father is still alive, is our father the murderer, this stinky boy wants to trick us into coming here to take revenge?"
Several people looked at each other again, paused, and immediately rushed to the exit, only to rush to the entrance, and immediately saw the stuffy oil bottle squatting behind the brick wall of the entrance, silently watching them.
A few people braked suddenly, and the last one rolled directly into the mud, and a few people stood up and trembled, and one of them said, "Little ghost, why did you come down?"
The stuffy oil bottle looked left and right, and then looked at them, Zhang Haike was still relatively calm, and after a stalemate for a few minutes, he reacted and asked, "You heard our discussion just now." ”
The stuffy oil bottle nodded.
"Is it as we assumed?"
The stuffy oil bottle looked at him and said, "It's not speculation, I was there when all this happened. ”
Several people looked at each other again: "Is it really our dad who killed your dad?"
"I have no idea who your dad is. "What you think is my father is not my father. ”
"Then why did you trick us here?"
The stuffy oil bottle looked at Zhang Haike and said, "I need to come down to this place, I'm too young, and I can't do many things." ”
"What are you doing here?"
"It has nothing to do with you. "Beneath this quagmire, there are cobweb-like corridors, all filled with silt, but each corridor is connected by its own room, where you can rest and breathe air. There are a few rooms with a lot of things you need, and you can use the equipment of these dead men to advance four or five rooms and you can complete the test. ”
"What about you?"
"I've got to go deep. Stuffy Bottle said.
