Chapter 18 Chapter 4 Singing in the middle of the night, a new grave in front of the village

I quickly got up, and saw several black shadows crouching behind the wall on the left. Without saying a word, I opened the safety of the pistol I carried, and walked over step by step with my waist bent.In the shadow by the wall, Wu Gang, Yang Cao, Ma Haibo and Xiao Zhou all crouched there, squinting their eyes and staring towards the west.That was the lower reaches of the stream and the edge of the broken wall. The voice I heard just now came from there.This voice should be a woman, she sang, as crisp and melodious as a nightingale or an oriole, she did not use Chinese, it was a bit like Miao language, but it always felt a little different.

There was movement from behind, and almost everyone woke up and walked slowly into the darkness. Hu Wenfei leaned forward, coughed lightly, and said, this voice seems to be in ancient Miao language? Yang Cao nodded and said, yes, it is the ancient Miao language, a pure Miao language, which seems to be the accent of the Zhenning area.I'm a little ashamed, as a descendant of the Miao family, I don't even know this, it's really unreasonable.Yang Cao listened carefully, and said that it seemed to be singing: The moon came out, so white and bright, so beautiful, so beautiful... Jia Wei came from the side, clutching his chest, and said angrily, "How can she sing so elegantly?"

Yang Cao explained to us that this is the Miao language translation of "The moon rises brightly, and the people stand out" in "The Book of Songs: Moonrise"... We are all a little excited, if there is singing coming from here, then there must be someone; if there is someone, then there must be a passage to turn back to the ground. This speculation is undoubtedly the most reasonable and the most explainable. My heart became eager, and immediately after discussing with several people, I followed Yang Cao, Wu Gang and Xiao Zhou, and walked cautiously towards the source of the singing.I leaned down as much as I could, being careful where I stepped.We built a bonfire here, and it burned blazingly in the quiet night, covering half of the space, and could be seen from far away, but she sang on the west side of the ruins, but she didn't come over, which shows that she had scruples in her heart.

Or, luring us into a trap?That being said, we need to be more careful. However, when we walked slowly through the middle of the ruins, the sound suddenly disappeared, and instead there were bursts of fighting sounds and the sound of swords chopping.The sound is so real, as if the battle is happening right ahead.This sudden change made us somewhat unacceptable.I followed the people in front and rushed over, bypassing the walls in front of me.In the darkness, apart from gravel, dust and creepers, there are bones all over the place, which have already been nearly weathered. I looked at the woods in the darkness opposite, and there was no unusual movement.

However, the sounds of fighting still continued around us. There were angry cries of men, terrified screams of women, deep roars of beasts, high-pitched cries of birds, and rustling sounds of insects rubbing their wings... Close With my eyes, I can use these sounds to imagine a scene of a tragic battle in my brain: in a peaceful home, beasts and enemies rush in, men take up weapons and swords, and women close the door tightly , the child shivered behind the door... Open your eyes, however, and everything is just darkness, nothing else. Really to hell. We searched along the edge of the wall on the west side for a while, and determined that it was just a sound, and there was no real object.Yang Cao took out his electronic instrument for detecting negative energy, and when he opened it, he found that the pointer was spinning wildly, from zero at the beginning to the red alert area, then it moved like a pendulum clock, and finally, as if there was no battery, it lost played a role.He took a few steps back, almost walked into the bushes, then looked at the circular wall group to the west, thought for a while and said, let's go back, there is nothing here.

We walked back along the original road, and beside the fire, Yang Cao told us that the sound that appeared just now was actually a record of nature.Lao Hu said yesterday that there is a huge magnetic field here, that is, this magnetic field has become a phonograph to a certain extent, recording certain fragments that happened here before, and playing them back under certain conditions to reach the that effect. phonograph?We looked at each other, this thing is too amazing, right? However, only Yang Cao's explanation can explain the strange phenomenon that happened today.I raised my hand to look at my watch and saw that I had slept for seven hours and it was 4:30 in the morning.Hu Wenfei asked Yang Cao and Xiao Zhou to continue to be on duty, and all of us continued to sleep, waiting for dawn and continuing to search for a way out downstream of the stream.I sat next to the campfire, hugging my knees, but I couldn't fall asleep. Seeing Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao curled up next to him, holding the sleeping tiger cat in his arms, I always felt a little depressed.

I felt like I was being spied on, and I looked back from time to time, but I didn't find anything. This valley is not simple.You must know that it is deep underground, and it can actually preserve the ruins of more than 2,000 years ago as if it has only been a few decades. This situation is puzzling.The ruins that ordinary people refer to, especially the ones with a unit of thousands of years, which one is not the vicissitudes of life, which needs to be excavated and repaired from the ground due to the changes of time?How can it still look like this after thousands of years of wind and rain?

There are so many strange things that I have encountered these days.Thinking too much, even that hand couldn't help but get hot. I looked at these hands and felt that they were hot and cold, and they were a little out of control. Also out of control, are my emotions.I feel like I have changed a lot recently, irritable and irritable, and I am used to using the most violent means to solve too many evil people and evil things... Am I lost, or is the essence of this world ultimately determined by fists or strength? Decide?What impressed me the most was when I was in the hall, facing the ancient corpse of Yelang—although Zamao Xiaodao told me that the god invited by Yang Cao had descended on me, but I still couldn’t help it. I agree too much.

That kind of cold, ruthless, and manic emotion seemed to be another me, emerging from the bottom of my heart. Touching the locust card on my chest, I looked at the crescent moon in the sky slowly moving out of my field of vision: Can we go out on a thin line of sky? Nothing to say all night, quietly watching the dawn. Early in the morning, when I finished the solid routine twice, everyone woke up. After some busy work, we put out the bonfire, then packed our bags and walked down the stream.After a day's rest, Zamao Xiaodao's spirit improved a lot, and he could barely walk; Jia Wei couldn't, and took half a bottle of secret medicine provided by Zamao Xiaodao one after another. Although his complexion improved a little, he still needed help , and what is worrying is that when I see Jia Wei, I always feel a deep fear and fear in my heart.

This feeling is inexplicable, there is no reason for it - er, is it because the aunt with heavy taste is generally disliked? It's a pity that Lord Tiger Cat hasn't woken up since he lay down yesterday afternoon. If it weren't for the slight ups and downs from his fat belly, we would almost have thought that this ugly sleeping guy was young. passed away.Although it usually likes to sleep very much, it is the first time I have seen an adult sleep for so long.Apparently, the Invite God technique used by Lord Tiger Cat yesterday when dealing with the fish must be a very energy-consuming move, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

This fat body is full of mysteries. Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao was injured, I found a bag, put the adult in it, and walked away with it on my back. The landslide and earthquake yesterday caused many stones to roll down the upper reaches of the stream, but there were fewer stones on the side of the ruins. We walked down the stream, and the road became easier to walk, and the site became more and more open; only the trees were tall and strong, and the green plants Growing crazily, the road ahead has become somewhat difficult.What's more troublesome is that there are many snakes in the grass, most of which are poisonous snakes, such as bamboo leaf green, branding iron head, seven-step snake, five-step snake...these kind of poisonous snakes that are often found in the forests of Jinping Mountain can be seen everywhere. Although with the Golden Silkworm Gu, we are not afraid of these snakes, but the density still makes me feel ominous. Jia Wei's anteater ran around like a merry-go-round, occasionally pulling out a snake and dangling in front of us. The terrain here is also very special.In October, there are still large tracts of fern and azalea growing in the grass, green green, red red, spring grass, fern, ginkgo fruit drop, thorn wood... especially those with a height of three to six meters. Alsophila spinulosa, a national first-class endangered plant, grows everywhere in this place, forming a small forest in a patchwork manner. After walking for half an hour, we found dry cow dung on the ground, and the road became wider and wider. We went around another bay, and we saw an acre of paddy fields, not big, with ridges and ridges, and under the reflection of the morning sun, there were sparkling waves; There are many wooden houses covered with pine bark.Outside these buildings, there are stone walls and a defensive gate tower. Standing on a high place, you can see the iconic drum tower and threshing ground of Miao Village.The Miao Village under the rising sun is exceptionally beautiful. someone here? This is simply... incredible! We ran forward one after another, but before reaching the edge of the field, the anteater Xiaohei stopped us and forbade us to go any further.Jia Wei hugged Xiao Hei and whispered affectionately, then turned around and said to us: "Be careful, there are weird things in this village, everyone, don't be impulsive, just observe it first." We nodded and said yes—it's broad daylight Yes, there was no one in the whole village, it was so quiet, like a ghost town, one had to doubt it. The anteater Xiaohei was exploring the way ahead, and we moved forward slowly, approaching the gate of the village step by step. From the beginning to the end, the village in front of me seemed to be in a deep sleep, except for the occasional barking of dogs, there was no other sound. But it is the barking of dogs that makes us conclude that this is an inhabited village. Finally, we came to the gate of the stockade.Looking inside, I saw rows of new graves on the open space on the left.
