Chapter 5 Dongshan Ancient Tomb
My favorite extracurricular book when I was reading was the ancient wild history classics, so I immediately judged that this was not an abandoned warehouse at all, and it was clearly a tomb!
The burial chamber was about half the size of a basketball court, square in shape, about three meters high, the torches barely shone to the end, and the northeast corner had collapsed slightly, and a pile of gray square bricks was scattered in a disorderly manner. The whole burial chamber was cold and dry, with a faint smell of fish.
It's not the first time I've touched a grave on the book and on TV, but when I get up close and personal with a real grave for the first time, the feeling is shocking, and the fear that rises in my heart makes me feel cold, and my hands and feet tremble involuntarily.
"Old cow, give me a cigarette. "I tried to calm myself down from the shock.
King Kong Cannon shuddered and took out the cigarette case and handed it over, I looked at the only one left, took out the dot, and took a deep breath, "Don't be afraid, take a look." ”
"You're afraid, I'm trying to move the dead, isn't it good?" He told me that he was scared and disgusted, and he slapped his swollen face and pretended to be brave.
"I didn't say I wanted to move things, I just wanted to see it," I said, shaking my head, "Besides, in the position we are in now, your-soaked is pulled on someone's grave." ”
The King Kong cannon was silent, and the two of us walked in step by step with torches, for fear that some legendary mechanism would be ambushed, and then I felt that every step was on the ground, and my heart gradually became more steady.
"There's a coffin. The adamantine pointed to the large coffin placed north and south on the raised stone platform in the middle of the burial chamber.
"I've seen it, don't touch it, and see if there's anything else. I nodded.
I walked towards the north side of the burial chamber with a torch in hand, where there was a faint offering table in the shape of a table. King Kong still told me that he was afraid and angry, so he didn't follow him, and went to the pile of green bricks scattered in the northeast corner.
I approached the table with a torch in hand, and found that it was an ancient table, similar in style to today's table, nearly half as long and short, with the corners slightly upturned upward, and decorated in the shape of a wave.
The table top is covered with thick dust and the lack of light so that it is not recognizable, and on the table are two flat bowls, similar to the bowls used by monks to transform their fortunes. It looks like there's something granular in there.
In addition, there was a thin pile of paper on the table, presumably books and the like, which was much narrower than our current 32-carat paper. I snuffed out the cigarette and reached out to pick it up, but I don't know what year or month it was, but when it came to my hand, it was crispy, and the paper foam fell a lot. I was secretly feeling sorry, but I heard the voice of the King Kong Cannon, "Old Yu, someone has been here, come and see." ”
I stuffed the ancient book into my backpack and ran over, only to see the King Kong Cannon carrying a white woven bag and yelling at me, "Old Yu, don't look at it, this place has been stolen, you see there is a hole here." ”
When I looked down, I saw that there was indeed a hole in the floor of the tomb, about the thickness of the thickness of the small water tank we are used to, and the edges were not messy with edges and corners, but rather very smooth.
"They must have dug up a lot of good stuff and put it in bags. "King Kong Cannon carried the white woven bag
I reached out and took the bag in the hand of King Kong Cannon, approached the torch and took a closer look, the hairs all over my body stood up, my heart contracted suddenly, and I was in a cold sweat in an instant.
"Snake skin, this is the skin of the great serpent. In horror, I threw away the huge snakeskin in my hand and shouted at the cannon.
"Ah~?" King Kong Cannon screamed and turned the rifle from his back to his hand, and his face was suddenly colorless.
At that moment, there was a sharp hissing from the mouth of the cavernous cavern, followed by a pungent smell pouring up from the hole beneath our feet.
The snakeskin alone scared the two of us half to death, and when the owner came back, it was okay. It was our training that made a difference.
"Open your mouth!" King Kong quickly shoved his torch into me, turning the head of the gun towards the hole.
"Boom!" Although his brain was congested with blood from the sound of the gun, he still reflexively grabbed the ejected bullet case by the light of the gun.
"You go first," "I'll go first," we both shouted at the same time. It's not that I'm afraid of death and have to run first, but the rules of the troops during training: in case of emergency, after having a weapon pad, let the unarmed comrades withdraw first.
I jumped down from the gap we had opened, rolled over and grabbed the machete we had left in the cave, and then the cannon fell from above like a squib.
As soon as the two of them saw that the other party was fine, they ran away, as fast as they wanted, when people's lives were threatened, their potential was unlimited, and I had never seen the King Kong Cannon run so fast.
It wasn't until we ran out for miles in one go that we dared to look back. Seeing that the thing didn't follow, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. After a few quick breaths, he got up and ran until he reached the asphalt road at the beginning of the power grid, where the two of them collapsed all at once.
I shuddered and took out the unfinished half of the cigarette from my trouser pocket, took out the lighter, lit it, took two puffs and handed it to the King Kong Cannon. The King Kong Cannon took two puffs and gave it back to me
"Old Yu, have you ever seen such a big worm?" Slowly coming back to his senses, the King Kong Cannon opened his mouth first. Although we were scared out of our minds before we even saw the main person's face, the large hole in the ground and the peeling snake skin indirectly proved to us that the guy was not ordinary.
"No, I've never seen it, and the thickest I've ever seen is the thickness of the bowl. I shook my head in reply.
"Why is that thing so big, what are you doing in the arch grave?"
"I don't know," I shook my head, reaching out and handing him the empty cartridge case. The first round of the 81 rifle of the King Kong Cannon is an empty cartridge, although it is an empty cartridge, but it is still lethal within 5 meters, and if the cartridge shell cannot be recovered, it will be punished for carrying it back. And the reason why I was able to catch the bullet casings that popped out easily was also thanks to the black-faced instructors, in order to train our reaction speed, one of the training subjects was to catch the bullet casings that ejected from the chamber of the gun when the comrades were shooting.
In addition, the moment the King Kong cannon opened my mouth because the bullet was fired loudly, and the environment just now was almost airtight, and it was easy to damage the eardrum if I didn't open my mouth to decompress.
"The bullet has been fired, how can I explain it when I go back, I want to say that it was used to fight the long worm, who believes it?" calmed down, and finally thought of the problem we were facing.
"We can't tell the truth, it's not a glorious thing for us to dig people's graves, even if we don't mean to, if the leaders know about it, we can't say it clearly. I shook my head.
"Then what do you say?"
"The last time Zhang Guowan from the cooking class delivered food to the sentry post on the mountain, didn't he say that he saw a wolf? Let's also say that we met a wolf," I came up with an idea.
"I didn't even see what the wolf looked like, and they asked me what I said?"
"Haven't you watched TV? Besides, don't you know what the wolfdogs of our detachment look like? "I hate that iron doesn't make steel!
"Then what if we come out and bite someone after we encounter that thing?"
"It's unlikely, that thing has been there for a while, and I haven't seen it do anything bad for so long, plus there is a power grid across it, and people from the outside village can't get in, and there are hundreds of abandoned caves in our mountain, how can someone go to the one we just now." ”
The two discussed some more details, and after grinding until dark, they each returned to their own detachment.
Because he was too frightened during the day, he fell asleep after returning to the company. I don't know what the King Kong Cannon said after he went back, at about nine o'clock in the evening, the leader of the brigade drove to our detachment, looked at all the dogs, and finally stopped in front of the kennel of the "Guorong" of our detachment leader, and asked the whereabouts of the "Guorong" several times in a row, which stunned our detachment leader.
I learned afterwards that the most impressive thing about King Kong Cannon was the "Guorong" that the captain of our company took to do the demonstration, and when he went back to report, he described the wolf he met according to the physical characteristics of "Guorong", and at the end he added a sentence "It's a mother".
This guy is really observant.
