Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Human Skin Kongming Lantern

Suddenly, my heart moved, and I suddenly remembered that when I was here just now, I saw a Kongming lantern falling from the sky, and it landed not far from the north. I still have candles on me, and with Kongming lanterns, I should be able to go out. Thinking of this, I was overjoyed. According to the memory just now, I found out the direction for a while, and then walked into the tomb. This was due to the thick fog and the white-robed female ghost at the side, so I didn't look carefully. The direction where the Kongming lantern fell, but at this time, where do you go to find it? It is said that Wangshan ran and broke his leg, but now I am completely running to the grave. According to the memory and the determined location, I have searched back and forth, but I can't find the Kongming lantern.

Standing on the narrow path, all I can see are earthen graves everywhere. Now that I am in it, watching it from a close distance, I am sweating all over my body. I don’t know how many people were buried in this place. Some of the old ones have been washed away by the rain, exposing the bones. The weeds on some of the graves almost covered my knees. I searched carefully, and suddenly thought dumbfoundingly in my heart, if someone passed by the mass grave at this time and happened to see me, I don’t know if they would also kill me. Treat it as that dirty thing? Thinking of this, I can't help shaking my head. I am naturally more courageous than ordinary people. After all, I have been collecting herbs in the mountains all year round. I have never seen any strange things, but what I saw tonight is really unbelievable. The woman in the white cheongsam is really something unclean, why does she always follow me?

I don't seem to have ever provoked her to provoke her, have I?If it is not, if she is a human, then her speed is too much... How can a human be so fast? What's more, if she is really human, like that black-robed ghost, what is his purpose? Suddenly, I seemed to trip over something under my feet, and then, a white thing suddenly jumped out from the slant - and hit my leg. I was so frightened that I was on the verge of collapse. I couldn’t stand it for a while. I staggered back a few steps and sat on the ground. The rough thatch pierced my skin with a sharp saw, and it was hot. pain.

My heart was beating wildly, and I was holding a flashlight to shine it, in a trance, there was a white figure squatting in front of me, two blood-red eyes, shining with a strange luster, staring at me like this, looking at me I have the creeps. What the hell is this?It looks like some kind of animal, but...the eyes are too bewitching. I casually picked up something from the ground and was about to throw it over, trying to scare it. Unexpectedly, when I first took a look, I was so scared that I lost it. The thing I thought was a dead branch turned out to be a dead tree. It was a white human leg bone, and it had been decayed for an unknown number of years.

sin sin! I kept chanting, but in this way, the thing in front of me seemed to be timid. When I frightened it, it jumped into the grass and disappeared in an instant. "Rabbit?" Suddenly, my heart moved, and I finally knew what kind of animal that thing was.That turned out to be a big rabbit, isn't it, the rabbit's eyes, aren't they red? I suddenly slapped myself, and cursed secretly: "Fuck, I'm so promising? How rare is it that there are a few rabbits in the deserted mountains? And I was actually scared by a rabbit?" While thinking about it, I got up from the ground, thinking of the leg bone I touched just now, feeling strange in my heart, hurriedly took the flashlight, and took pictures around, and sure enough, there were some broken human bones vaguely discernible in the wild grass. scattered among them.

"That damned Kongming Lantern, should it be here?" I remembered the location because it was correct, but the surrounding area was filled with thick fog, so it was really not easy to find it. I took a few steps forward, and suddenly, on a grave not far away, there was a white thing? That damned rabbit is really courageous!I cursed in my heart, just now the rabbit came out of the slant, but it really scared me, I heard the old man say that rabbits are all short-sighted—that is to say, their eyesight is not very good So, waiting for a rabbit is the best example. This stupid rabbit can't even see the tree stump, and can knock itself unconscious. At this time, I sneaked over and caught it from behind. I will give it to the village chief tomorrow. Wouldn't it be good to have food with wine?

Thinking about it this way, I immediately stepped lightly and walked over cautiously, but when I was about three or four steps away, my heart trembled. This thing is not a rabbit at all, but a bulging white thing. I just don’t know What is it? lamp? Yes, this thing is supposed to be a lamp?Could it be that this thing is the Kongming lantern I was looking for? I was busy walking up quickly, holding up the flashlight to take a picture, wasn't I?The Kongming lantern was just placed on the tomb, upright, as if someone had placed it on purpose, but I knew it was just a coincidence that the Kongming lantern fell from the sky just now.

Thankfully, I was lucky enough to find a Kongming lantern. I didn't think about it for a while, in this mountainous area, in the middle of the night, who put up a Kongming lantern? At this time, I just thought about using this Kongming lantern to lead the way and lead me out of this damn misty mass grave, even if I can't go back to Wucun , It doesn't matter, anyway, wait for dawn, find someone to ask for directions, that's all. I took out half of a candle from my backpack, often walking in the mountains, a flashlight is a must, and I have a lot of dry batteries, but there are always emergencies, and sometimes the flashlight doesn’t work, so the candle This is a very primitive lighting tool, and I usually carry it with me, but it helped me a lot at this time.

I was busy taking out the lighter and lighting it to the candle, and then I wanted to press the candle on the Kongming lantern, but the moment my finger touched the Kongming lantern, I screamed out in fright, and my hands trembled. The candle fell to the ground. That Kongming lantern—it wasn't made of paper. With the tactile sensation of my fingers, I knew in my heart what I touched. In an instant, my scalp began to tingle. If my judgment is correct, the material of this Kongming lantern is definitely leather, and—and, it is very likely to be human skin. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder. Just imagine, if this is really human skin, I want to paste it into The Kongming Lantern requires the unique toughness of human skin, which must be peeled off from a living person.

A barren hill, a solitary grave thousands of miles away, a lamp made of human skin?
