Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

The surrounding area was still a vast expanse of whiteness, and the visibility was only about six or seven meters.Following the bloodstains outside the wall, we slowly searched for all the clues about that "Yasha".No one dared to mention the guess of Yasha's identity, I did not dare, and neither did Wang Fugui.The old man An followed us dully, with a worried expression on his face, and only occasionally looked around to help us confirm the location. The sheepfold was built outside the village, surrounded by several shrimp ponds, and there were no serious roads.There is a small path between several shrimp ponds, which is a dirt road stepped on by fishermen all the year round.After searching for more than 100 meters along the bloodstains, the little bear suddenly got out of the fog behind him, ran to me and whimpered a few times.I knelt down and pinched the roots of its ears.The long hair on its body was wet by the mist, and its hair was stuck to its body from somewhere, and its body shrunk a lot, as if it had just been fished out of the water.

I sighed, patted it on the head, and let it go ahead.Suddenly it stopped in front of a mound, sniffed a few times, raised its head and barked at me a few times.We hurried over to have a look, and when we came to the front, we found that it was not a small grave bag.A stele was erected in front of the grave, most of which were broken, and the characters engraved on it could no longer be read clearly.The tomb was covered with weeds. It seemed to be an unoccupied tomb. It had not been taken care of for many years. It was already late autumn and early winter. The grass on it had long withered and stood tall like a A huge, long-haired human head was half buried in the soil.

The little bear roared around the deserted grave a few times, and Ah Wu suddenly squatted down, tilted his head in a slanted manner, pointed to the urn under his feet and said in a low voice, "That thing has been here." I took a closer look, and it turned out that There are a few shallow footprints on the ground, as if someone walked barefoot, exactly the same as the ones I saw on the beach before. Ah Wu stretched out his fingers to measure the depth of the footprints, his eyes slanted, and he continued: "I have not stepped on it for a long time, and I am about 1.75 meters tall, without shoes, and weighs about 120 catties. After a pause, he continued to poke the footprints with his fingers, "The right heel is heavy."

I nodded and gave him a thumbs up in secret. I was a little contemptuous of him before, but now he can tell so many things from just a few footprints. His eyeballs are quite unpredictable.Natural vision must have supernatural powers, this squinted eyes are better than those of us who are not squinted.Even a professional criminal investigation agency might have to fill in the footprint model and test a lot of data before they can draw a conclusion, right? "No." Wang Fugui suddenly muttered thoughtfully from the side. "What's wrong?" I asked, glancing at him. "Master Yu, take a look." Wang Fugui grabbed a straw and scratched at the footprints, "Look at the orientation of this foot, the toes are facing outward."

I looked down and found that what he said was right, the footprints did not seem to be just passing by the grave, but the uneven footprints, with the toes facing outwards, looked like someone had walked out of the grave. While wondering, Ah Er scratched the withered grass on the grave with the Remington in his hand, and said to us, "Don't look, it's from here." We got closer and found a dark hole hidden in the grass on the other side of the mound.The opening of the hole is not very big, about 60 centimeters in diameter, and the hole is so deep that it is too dark to see inside.

"Is it a robbery hole?" I wondered. "No," Ah Er pinched the soil at the entrance of the hole, and said with certainty, "This one doesn't look like it was made with a tool, but it looks like it was planed by hand." "Hand planed?" I lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked at it. There was a stench coming from inside, which made me sick, but it was not the gloomy and rancid smell in ordinary tombs.I touched it with my hand, and found that there was no smooth and shiny mark on the wall of the cave, and I wondered in my heart, what made a hole in this tomb bag?There are no large beasts in this place, the biggest possibility is the badger, but I have seen the badger hole, the hole is not so big.

I took a flashlight and shone a light inside, and the strong light of the Spike flashlight instantly illuminated the hole.Only then did we discover that the hole was not as deep as I had expected, it was about two meters long, and there seemed to be room inside, probably the tomb of this barren tomb. I called old man An, who was trembling, and asked him, "Master, does this tomb have an owner?" The old man An shook his head: "There are no descendants of this grave, otherwise it would not be abandoned like this. It was originally the grave of a rich man in the village. Later, because of the Red Guards, the whole family ran away. This grave is quite old. , and no one has cared about it for decades.”

"That's good," I tied my belt and said to Wang Fugui and the others, "I'll go down and have a look." "You have an injury," Wang Fugui stopped me, grabbed the fat on my belly and smiled, "I'll go down, this hole is too narrow, you can't get down if you're so fat, besides, this is the foundation of our family. OK." That's true.After he finished speaking, he threw the Remington in his hand to me, and found a rope from his bag to tie it around his waist. I handed him the pistol in my waist and said, "Be careful." Wang Fugui nodded, turned around and got into the hole.Ah-Fifth and Ah-Er hung on to the rope tightly, lowering him bit by bit.

After putting it down for about two meters, the rope was no longer strained, as if it had reached the bottom.We saw Wang Fugui's body paused for a moment, and then he crawled in sideways.The rope went in for another two or three meters before it loosened. He must have stopped.We can only see the peripheral light from the flashlight outside, and the shadows below are reflected, and we don't know what's going on.I lay down at the entrance of the cave and yelled a few times, asking him about the situation. Wang Fugui, who had already got into the tomb, didn't answer me. I called out a few more times, but there was still no answer.Lao Jiu looked at me with some concern, then pulled his green scalp and said, "Nothing will happen next, right? Don't meet any more zongzi or something like that."

I gave him a blank look, and said, "What zongzi? You should read less idle books in the future. How can there be so many gods and gods when people die and the lights go out?" After I finished speaking, I also felt a little guilty. , how to explain the thing that killed the big ram? I looked at the flickering lights below and felt a little settled.It's just a deserted tomb. This tomb has been around for some years. Judging from the broken stone tablet, it should be a tomb in the period of the Republic of China, decades ago. Even if it was a coffin tomb, after so many years, the corpse inside would have turned into a handful of bones.In addition, the hole has been opened before us, and the air has already circulated, so there should be no poisonous gas or lack of oxygen.Furthermore, the thing that was chased by the little bear at the seaside has already run into the sea. Although it is not quite sure that this is the nest of that thing, it should be close to each other, so there should be nothing in the grave at this moment that can cause harm to Wang Fugui. Threatening.Even if it was really dangerous, he still had a gun in his hand, so even if he encountered something, it wouldn't make him unable to shoot a single shot.

After waiting another seven or eight minutes, there was still no response from the grave.I began to feel apprehensive, did something really happen next?I took a few puffs of cigarettes, crushed the cigarette butts in my hand, and gestured to Ah Wu, "Pull up!" Ah Shiwu nodded, and pulled the rope in his hand up, but there was a "huh" in his mouth.I hurriedly asked him what was wrong, and Ah Wu shook the fluffy rope in his hand, squinted at me, and shouted: "It's broken, the rope is broken." "Broken?" My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly grabbed the already fluffy rope from his hand, twisted it upside down a few times, and I quickly pulled the end of the rope up from the grave.I looked at some dark red soil on the rope, and with a "buzz" in my head, I immediately pulled the Remington's safety in my hand and was about to jump into the hole. The old Jiu who was next to me grabbed me and said: "Hey, don't worry, let's talk about the situation after you figure out the situation. You just go down like this, if you want to fold down, the brothers will all rest." I calmed down in an instant, Lao Jiu was right, if there is real danger down here, it would probably be useless for me to go on like this.While anxious, Ah Wu took the rope and sniffed it, pinched the end of the rope and squinted his eyes and said: "The rope is not broken, he untied it himself." untied?I doubtfully took the rope from Ah Wu's hand, and sure enough, there was no sign of breaking the end of the rope.What's the matter, is the rope not long enough?I looked at the large circle of remaining rope coiled in Ah Wu's hand. The remaining rope was twenty or thirty meters long, and it was a special climbing rope.The load-bearing tension of this kind of rope is generally around 1,600 jin, and it will not break easily.Now that it is untied, what is the dark red soil on it?Isn't it blood? I smelled it, and it smelled foul, but it didn't smell like human blood.Ah Er took a look at it, held his glasses and said to me, "This is not human blood." I lay down on the entrance of the cave and took a look. The dim light inside was no longer visible. Against the background of the surrounding fog, the entrance of the cave was dark like a giant eye without eyeballs, and it was cold. I couldn't help shaking. Lao Jiu lay down at the entrance of the cave and yelled a few more times, but didn't hear an answer. He pressed the walkie-talkie and yelled a few more times, but there was no sound in the walkie-talkie except for the sound of electric current.I took a deep breath and said to him, "No, I can't wait any longer, I have to go down and have a look." "Let me follow fifteen times." Lao Jiu pulled the bolt of the gun and said to me. I shook my head: "You have never been to the tomb, you don't understand what's inside." I tied the rope around my waist and confessed to Lao Jiu, "Brother Fifteen and I will go down first to have a look. If not, your elder brother and second brother will go down later. Brother Ninth, you stay up there. No matter what happens, don't worry about it." Go down and leave at least one." Lao Jiu nodded, knowing that he couldn't stop me, he helped me put the bullet in the gun and handed it to me. I tried the gun and said, "There is Brother Fifteen, it's all right, it's a blessing or a disaster, if it's a disaster, I can't avoid it. The old man said that I have to save all mankind, so I can't die for now. If I really don't come up, you turn around." Burn more money for me, and burn the two girls, when the time comes, you will all go to fly together, but I didn't get any money, and I haven't even married a wife yet." Lao Jiu said: "Don't worry, I will definitely burn for you, thirty of them, one for each cup, and let you play with the brand. Also, your sister Xiao Tao will leave it to me, I will I must take good care of you for you. You can go at ease." I slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about her." He held my shoulders and said, "Be careful." I looked at the dark hole and took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and drilled down. The cave was a bit damp, and my body blocked the entrance of the cave completely, and the wound on my back was scorchingly painful from the hard soil on the cave wall.I held the Remington up, and the barrel-mounted flashlight showed every detail in the hole.The hole is inclined and not too deep. After climbing for a while, it has reached the bottom, and further inside is the tomb.I was very nervous at the moment, and I was afraid that something had happened to Wang Fugui as soon as I turned the corner. I held up the Remington to take a picture inside, and the tomb was not small, obviously not as big as the grave.I slipped down the hole, then stood in the tomb with my waist down and shouted a few times, but I didn't see any living things inside.The sudden coldness in the tomb made me shiver.Ah Wu jumped down after me, wrinkled his nose and sniffed a few times, then immediately loaded the gun, and whispered to me: "Be careful, the smell is not right." There is a coffin in the middle of the tomb, which is a coffin with the word "shou" that was very common in the Republic of China.However, apart from the coffin in the middle, there was no sign of Wang Fugui. "Wang Fugui!" I shouted his name, and at the same time illuminated the tomb with a flashlight, only to see the footprints of military boots on the wet ground.The ground of the tomb was rammed with hard soil, and there was some water in the pits, and the places that had been soaked in water for a long time were muddy.The tomb was pitch-black, with no light to be seen, and the air was filled with a foul smell.I was a little nervous, my hand holding the shotgun was sweating, and I felt a little bad in my heart, why is there no one? Ah Wu and I carefully followed the footprints on the ground until we came to the coffin.The dark coffin looked extremely strange and mysterious under the strong light of the flashlight, and there was a smell of death everywhere: cold and bitter. I lit three cigarettes, bowed three times towards the head of the coffin, and said silently: "Master here, we didn't mean to disturb, but the reason is of great importance, so I disturbed senior's cleanliness as a last resort. , Tie Yu will erect a stele for the monarch and rebuild the tomb to compensate for today's disturbance." After I finished speaking, I placed the cigarette in my hand on the head of the coffin.The lit cigarette billowed smoke from the coffin, as if someone was smoking it.Immediately afterwards, three blue flames burst out from the dark red cigarette butt.I was so scared that I let out an "ah", and my feet slipped and almost fell.Ah Fifteen stood behind me and pointed the gun in his hand at the coffin, and "clicked" to release the safety. I also nervously aimed the Remington in my hand at the coffin, cold sweat pouring out from my brow. I thought to myself, the things in this coffin must have no filter tips, why did the flames come out all of a sudden?I kept staring at the three cigarettes on the head of the coffin burned to ashes, but there was no more movement.I asked Ah Shiwu: "What's going on here?" Ah Wu looked at the coffin warily and shook his head. I wiped off my sweat, and instinctively took a few steps back, thinking that there is really something dirty here?Where did Wang Fugui go?You won't be harmed by the things in the coffin, right?I was thinking about it, but I saw that the coffin was well covered, so I gritted my teeth and took a few steps towards the coffin, thinking to myself: "Man, if you like to smoke this filter, I will give you some more when I go up." That's the point, but don't be so intimidating." "Look at this." The fifteenth on the side pointed at the bottom of the coffin with the gun barrel. There was a piece of red liquid on the ground, which seemed to flow from the crack in the coffin.The liquid was still dripping out from the corner under the coffin.My heart skipped a beat, and I walked around the coffin cautiously, only to hear a few "clicks" in the coffin, as if something was about to come out. I was completely paralyzed, "Wang Fugui!" I shouted Wang Fugui's name loudly, the voice buzzing and shaking my head in the small tomb, "Wang Fugui, get the fuck out of me!" Ah Wu cautiously wiped the ground with his fingers, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and said with a frown, "It's not human blood." When I was nervous, I heard the sound of "rusting" falling soil from the entrance of the cave, and then the little bear rushed in from the entrance of the cave, shaking his cheeks.It ran straight to my side, opened its posture and yelled at the coffin a few times.The coffin immediately became quiet, and the "click" sound no longer appeared.After the little bear finished barking, he hummed a few times at me with a proud face. I squeezed its chubby face, thinking that the black dog wards off evil spirits, why does this guy have this ability, is there really a ghost in this coffin?Ah Fifteen and I looked at each other.Just as I was about to speak, Ah Wu suddenly "shushed" at me, tilting his head as if he was listening to something.The little bear at my feet also fell silent suddenly, looking up at the top of my head vigilantly. I suddenly heard a few slight noises from above my head, and just as I followed the little bear's gaze with a flashlight, I saw something hanging like a monkey in the corner above my head.When the thing saw me shining a flashlight on it, it let out a squeaking scream. Before I could react, it jumped towards me with a movement. The little bear roared beside me and jumped forward, throwing me to the ground.I rolled around on the ground a few times, and then I heard a loud bang beside me, and knew that it was Ah Shif who had shot.I was horrified, what the hell was that.Before I could see it clearly, Ah Wu hit it.The thing let out a few screams, quickly got under the coffin, and disappeared.The little bear roared and chased after it, and I grabbed it by the neck and said, "Don't chase." The little bear stopped after hearing my order, but still bowed and roared towards the dark place under the coffin. At this time, there was a "bang" in the coffin, followed by a few faint blue smoke.Then, the coffin board was lifted suddenly, and a human figure got out from inside.My heart tightened, and I thought, there is a big one in here?I immediately pointed the gun at the black figure, and I heard the figure shouted with his hands up, "Don't... don't shoot, it's me." "Fugui?" I saw that the black figure still hadn't put down the gun in his hand, and Ah Wu also leaned over with a vigilant expression on his face, shone a flashlight on the man's face, nodded at me and said, "It's him. " "What the hell are you doing in there?" I was yelled at by him angrily, thinking that I was almost shot, I was afraid for a while, "If you want to stay in, don't fucking come out." Wang Fugui crawled out of the coffin, covered in blood, and the thinning hair on his head was curled a lot.He stood beside me tremblingly, looked around with his neck curled up, and asked, "Where's that little brat? Was he beaten away by you?" "Little bear, stop barking." I stopped the little bear who was still screaming at the shadow under the coffin. Ah-Fifteen held the gun carefully, and pointed the flashlight at the place where the thing disappeared.When the light shone through, a hole appeared in the corner of the wall, with a diameter of seventy or eighty centimeters.A few streaks of blood were left on the ground.It looked like the thing had escaped into the hole. Ah Fifteen squatted there and used the lamp to shine a few times inside, and found that the hole looked very deep, and there seemed to be room inside.Seeing that the thing had indeed left, I breathed a sigh of relief and asked Wang Fugui, "Why are you in there? Why didn't you say yes?" "There's a kid..." Wang Fugui pointed to the coffin with a mournful face, "If I don't want to hide inside, you can wait to collect my corpse!" "What the hell was that just now? Why do I look like a monkey?" "It's a child..." Ah Wu stood up from the ground, squinting at me. "Children?" I said in shock, "Where did the children come from?" Wang Fugui smiled at me with a guilty face, and wanted to slip back.I grabbed him, and something sticky on his body stuck to my hand.I stared at him and said, "Don't even think about slipping away, let's talk about what's going on first." "I don't know either." He said innocently, "I came across such a little thing as soon as I came down, and I hid inside before I had time to think about it." "What is this?" I pulled him over and took out something from his bulging arms.I held it in my hand and saw that it was a golden lock. It was quite heavy, and it looked like three or four taels. It was the kind of thing that hangs around a child's neck.I stared at him and asked, "You released that kid, right? Did you take something from it?" "Who knew there was that thing in this coffin!" Wang Fugui spread his hands innocently, "If I had known it would be so funny, I wouldn't have taken this crap." "Bah, a dog can't change it and eats shit, it wants money but not life!" I was so angry that I wanted to beat him up, "Why did I ask you to come down?" "Come and take a look." Just as he was speaking, Ah Wu stood beside the coffin and called out.I threw back the golden lock in my hand to Wang Fugui, walked to the side of the coffin, and looked inside. The smell inside almost made me faint.The inside of the coffin was actually full of bloody pieces of meat and some rotten animal organs, it was a bit like a purgatory on earth. "What the hell is this?" I resisted the rising feeling of vomiting, and then looked at the thing that obviously looked like a lump of intestines, and suddenly understood where the sticky things on Wang Fugui's body came from. that's it.I quickly wiped my hand on the wall. "It's not human." Wang Fugui walked over and looked inside nonchalantly. "It's just chicken, duck, sheep, and pig." Ah Wu took out a paratrooper knife from his body, picked out an unknown organ from it, looked carefully, nodded and said, "It's lamb liver." I looked at the minced meat he picked up and swore to myself I will never eat haggis again in my life. "Hey, I said why it disappeared. It turned out to be thrown here." Wang Fugui suddenly groaned, reached into the rotten meat in the coffin, took out a pistol from it, and wiped it with his clothes. , then handed it to me and said, "Return it to you." I looked at the wet pistol in his hand, my stomach was churning, I quickly waved my hand and said, "I don't want it, here it is for you." Suddenly, the little bear on the side started barking wildly at the hole again. I nervously pointed the shotgun at the hole, and there was a shadow in the hole. I wondered if the kid had come back again. "What the hell is that thing? What a brat? Or something like a living corpse?" I asked Wang Fugui, "Why did you mess with it?" Wang Fugui knew he couldn't escape, so he told the story of what happened after he came down. It turned out that after he came down, seeing this coffin, out of professional habits, his hands were itchy.After he opened the coffin, he found a child sitting among the rotten meat in the coffin.He was also startled at first, but when he saw that the child had such a big golden lock hanging around his neck, he couldn't help but be interested in money. "Damn it, just as I took the golden lock off, that little guy came alive. He jumped out and chased me, and the rope on my body almost tripped me up. I untied the rope and hid inside." Wang Fugui He clutched his chest with lingering fear, then frowned and said, "That kid..." "What's wrong?" I asked him when he hesitated to speak, "What's wrong with that kid?" "That kid doesn't look like an ordinary living corpse." He thought for a while, "I don't know what's wrong." "Someone put these things in here." Fifteen was poking at the body parts in the coffin with a paratrooper knife, "I don't know what they are used for." I nodded, obviously they wouldn't come in by themselves, there are two possibilities, one is that the kid got it, and the other is someone got it from the outside and put it inside.Thinking about the first possibility, it is unlikely, because Wang Fugui said that the little ghost was locked in a coffin.If it was the second type, who would have made it up?What is his purpose?I looked at the rotten meat in this coffin, and suddenly my heart trembled. Someone raised that little thing here, right? At this time, I heard the little bear on the side barking wildly towards the entrance of the hole. Before I could react, it rushed forward with a "swish" and got into the hole. "Damn it!" I was caught off guard by its sudden action, and hurried to the edge of the hole and yelled a few times.I only heard the cub inside continue to howl wildly, but I couldn't see the situation at all, and I was worried that something might happen to it inside. I was so anxious that I was sweating all over, and I just thought that the little thing was hard to deal with. "I'll go in and have a look." I loaded the shotgun in my hand.Ah Wu nodded and said, "I'll accompany you in." "What about me?" Wang Fugui asked aside, "I don't want to mess with that little thing anymore." "What are you supposed to do!" I pushed him away, bent down and got into the dark hole. The hole is about 80 centimeters in diameter, and I can only squat inside and move in a little bit.There seems to be water in the hole, and the ground is a little muddy.Ah Fifteen also got in after me. After I moved forward with difficulty for about two or three meters, the space was a little bigger, and at this moment, the screaming bear suddenly became silent.My heart skipped a beat, I bent down and continued to drill in without caring much.The wound on my back was suddenly touched by a protruding stone, the pain made my nose sore, and tears rolled in my eyes. "Little bear!" I yelled, only to feel that the next step of my foot was in the air, my body was suspended in the air, and then I fell to an unknown place with a "plop". Fortunately, it didn't feel high, only a few tens of centimeters. After landing, I rolled and squatted up, nervously took a look around with the shotgun, only to find that I fell into a space about the same size as the previous tomb.I took a look with the flashlight, and found that the little bear was standing on the ground with his head up and staring at the top of the cave. When he saw me coming, he looked back at me, but he didn't come to me.I was relieved to see it was fine.I waved at it and shouted softly: "Little bear, come here." But the little bear just turned his head and grunted at me a few times, then turned his head away again.I anxiously waved at it vigorously and said, "Come here...beautiful bear, come here..." Ah Wu jumped down from behind me, took pictures around with his gun in hand, then suddenly patted me on the shoulder, and pointed at the top of Little Bear's head.I followed his finger to look, and my heart immediately felt agitated again, holding the shotgun with sweaty palms, and looking at the things hanging from the ceiling of the cave. The thing was fully exposed under the strong light of the flashlight, and I finally saw its true colors.From a distance, the thing looked like a six or seven-year-old child. Its body was covered with black and blue scars, which looked cold and strange in the white light of the flashlight.Its hands and feet were firmly inserted into the soil on the roof of the cave in a weird and awkward posture, hanging in the air like a big gecko.Its shoulder, which was shot and wounded by Ah Fifteen, was dripping black and red blood continuously, and it fell into the dust on the ground with a soft "puff puff". When I looked into its face, it was staring at me too.Its eyes were empty, their eyes were white, and the eyeballs seemed to be covered with a gray-white film.Under the white light of the flashlight, there was a hint of golden yellow in its occasional pupils, which seemed to be dodging and guarding.I looked at it and suddenly felt a strange feeling in my heart.The fifteenth behind me raised his gun and aimed at it, just about to pull the trigger.My heart skipped a beat, I pressed Ah Shifu's hand, and whispered, "Don't hit it yet, let's see it first." I watched it hide above, and occasionally glanced at the little bear below it, and my body trembled a little.I suddenly realized, and quietly moved to Ah Wu's ear and said, "It's afraid of little bears." "What the hell is this?" Ah Wu frowned, rolled his eyes and stared at it, and said, "Is it the thing that killed the sheep?" "I don't know yet." I licked my chapped lips, and suddenly found that the hole was surprisingly dry.I watched it carefully, thinking about how to get the bear back.Xiaoxiong is too abnormal today. Although he is not very obedient, he will not take the initiative to cause trouble for me.There has never been a situation like today where you can't get back again and again. I faintly felt that the thing was afraid of the little bear, and the fear in my heart was much less, so I stared at it and took a step in the direction of the little bear. It seemed that something was knocked down by my feet, and there was a "crash".The kid suddenly opened his mouth and screamed at me.Under the strong light of the flashlight, I saw its mouth full of sharp and fine teeth.Seeing this, the little bear immediately bowed its body and gave a few threatening "woo-woo" sounds to it, and the little ghost shrank back into the corner again. My body was stiff and I didn't dare to move, for fear of startling it again.I took a flashlight to look at my feet, and when I saw the thing at my feet, I was stunned. It was...a kerosene stove! That's right, a kerosene stove!This is the kind commonly used in outdoor sports, and we also bought a few when we came.Before I came down, I thought about countless possibilities, such as living corpses, ghosts... I thought about everything in a mess, and I was not too surprised when I encountered this little monster, but I never thought that I would find it in a deserted tomb in the Republic of China. A kerosene stove. I asked Ah Wu to stare at the kid, while I slowly squatted down, picked up the kerosene stove from the ground, and checked it.The fuel in the stove has not been used up yet, exuding the unique smell of kerosene. There is also no rust on the surface of the stove, obviously it has not been used for a long time.I wondered in my heart, could it be that someone had a picnic here before us?I thought about the various meats in the coffin outside, and my stomach churned again. I took a closer look at the room with the flashlight again, only to find that there are still many things in the space I am in that make me dumbfounded.There are several boxes of instant noodles and stainless steel bowls piled up in the corner, a colorless quilt is spread on a wooden board next to it, a miner's lamp is hung on the wall, and there is a black bag at the feet of the little bear, which says Looking at the big "IBM"... I almost felt overwhelmed. If it wasn't for that kid still hanging above my head, I really suspected that I was in the basement rented by some artistic youth in Beijing. "Little bear." I waved at the little bear again, and called it with a low voice, but it still just looked up at the kid.I made a gesture with Ah Wu, pointed to the bag next to Little Bear, and signaled him that I would go and get it.Ah Fifteen nodded.Point the gun at the kid, ready to go.I have seen his marksmanship just now, and I feel at ease. I held up the gun and walked a few steps towards the little bear, and the kid became restless again, grinning and barking at me with its sharp teeth.I looked at the gun in my hand, thinking it might be afraid that something in my hand would threaten it.I gritted my teeth, bent down, gently put the Remington in my hand on the ground, and moved the paratrooper knife hidden on my body to my cuff.I straightened up, raised my empty hands and shook it, and tried to take two steps forward.This time it just hid its body in the corner a few times, and didn't make any more calls. I knew this method was effective, so I carefully leaned against the wall of the cave and moved towards the computer bag little by little.Just when I was about to touch the computer bag, I heard a "plop" behind me, as if something had fallen, and then I heard someone "Ouch". At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the kid who had been quiet suddenly screamed and rushed towards me.I heard the wind, and hurriedly leaned over, and the paratrooper knife hidden in my cuff was swished into my hand.But I saw that little ghost jumped on top of my head a few times, and then rushed towards me.At this time, there were two gunshots, and I hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Don't shoot!" But it was too late, the kid was already limp on the ground.Wang Fugui sat beside it blankly, his face pale, his legs trembling with fright.I frowned, looked at the little ghost who was still twitching on the ground, and sighed in my heart. "Why are you here?" I reached out and pulled Wang Fugui up from the ground. "I..." Wang Fugui held his chest and was speechless for a long time.At this time, the little bear came close to me, lowered his head and sniffed the little ghost on the ground, and there was some unbearable expression in his eyes.I shone the flashlight on the little thing on the ground, and saw that its neck had been smashed by Ah Wu with a shotgun.It was lying on the ground, its huge head tilted to one side due to missing half of its support, but its white eyes were still fixed on Wang Fugui's chest, and its mouth opened and closed, as if talking. I reached out and took out the golden lock from Wang Fugui's arms, and Wang Fugui twisted it reluctantly.I glared at him, Wang Fugui curled his lips and didn't dare to say more. I squatted down and put the golden lock on the little ghost, the white film in the little ghost's eyes opened a crack, revealing a faint golden brilliance, as if looking at the golden lock with great nostalgia, his mouth opened and closed silently Then, the claws moved with difficulty as if trying to reach the golden lock.I picked the golden lock into its claws with the barrel of the gun, and it closed its mouth and remained motionless, as if it had swallowed its breath. I looked at the little ghost's corpse on the ground, and suddenly felt a little sore in my heart, and then I shook my head again, how could I feel compassion for this little ghost? "What the hell is this?" Ah Shiu plucked it a few times, then suddenly gave me a sideways glance, "Does it look like a fish?" I just noticed that the scars on this thing's body were blue scales. It crawled on the ground, its legs twisted together, like a fish's tail.I suddenly discovered that there was a row of spur-like protrusions on its spine. "There are also webs." Ah Fifteen picked up its paws with the barrel of the gun. The paws were covered with blue-black fine scales, and the five fingers were round, about the size of an ordinary six or seven-year-old child. Layer of meat film.What the hell is this?I racked my brains and couldn't think of a similar monster in any material. I even thought about the horror novels I read, but I still couldn't find anything.The little bear next to me arched its head and "hummed" at me a few times. I hugged its neck and let its hot tongue lick my face a few times, feeling better. "Master Yu," Wang Fugui said to me while crunching a bag of instant noodles, looking around, "has someone lived here?" I ignored him, stood up and looked around with a flashlight, and then turned on the miner's lamp on the wall of the cave, and the whole space suddenly lit up.This cave is slightly smaller than the tomb outside, and it looks very dry.I looked at the sundries in the cave, and my heart was full of surprise.Who on earth is living here, it seems that they have lived here for a long time.It is unbelievable that the living live where the dead live. I walked to the corner and reached out to pick up the computer bag.The bag was heavy to start with, and I opened the zipper to check it out, and found a black laptop, batteries, and miscellaneous accessories inside, and a book in the middle of the bag.I took it out and froze for a moment. "?" This is a thread-bound book, the paper is a little yellowed, and the three small seal characters of "Shan Hai Jing" are written on the cover.The book cover is a little broken, but it is a genuine ancient book.我略翻了一下，才小心翼翼地把它装回包里。 “这是什么？”王富贵站在我左手的墙边惊异道，“鱼爷，您看看这个。” 我走过去一看，见洞壁上胡乱刻着一些花纹，看起来像是文字，依稀觉得眼熟。 “鸟兽铭纹？”我皱着眉头仔细辨认着。“有纸笔么？”过了一会儿，我问王富贵，“抄下来上去再研究。” 王富贵在身上摸了半天，摸出一部手机来，朝我晃了晃道：“700万像素的。”然后对着那些鸟兽文一阵狂拍。 我转身在洞中又检查了一下，再没有发现有价值的东西。王富贵在一边拍完后，满意地翻着手里的手机，忽然脚下一晃，吓得“哎哟”叫出声来。 我赶忙过去看他怎么了，却发现他的脚像是踩到一个小坑里。他拔出脚来，一股恶臭也随之传来。他捏着鼻子弯腰看了看，破口大骂道：“他妈的谁在这里拉屎？” 原来那里是一个小粪坑，上面被埋了一些土，防止臭味儿散发，下面则是松动的。 我见他没事，也懒得理他，走到那块木板搭成的床边翻看了一下。 床上除了一床被子还胡乱放了几件衣服，料子都很好，像是牌子货，只是早已经脏得看不出颜色。我看着那衣领上的牌子心里咯噔一下，提起来抖了抖，又从里面掉出一些鳞片来。我沉默着捻起一片，和我们先前发现的一样。看着手里的鳞片，我心里的悲戚感又莫名其妙加重了一些。 我让王富贵把鳞片都收好了，然后抱起床上的被子盖在那个小鬼身上，跟阿十五一起把地上的小鬼裹在被子里。 “小熊，走了。”我捏了捏小熊的大胖脸。 “这东西怎么办？”王富贵指着那床裹着小鬼的被子问我。 “你惹出来的，它从哪儿来，你就把它放回哪儿去。”我没好气地看了他一眼。 王富贵耸耸肩，一脸古怪地看着它说道：“我管它从哪儿来的呢。我可不碰它。” “我来吧。”一边的阿十五把枪被在肩上，弯腰抱起了那床被子。 刚要走，却听到洞里簌簌作响，不一会儿，老九提着枪从洞口钻进来了。他钻进来后，看到我们安然无恙，像是松了一口气，然后责怪地看着我道：“怎么这么长时间也没个动静？我还以为你们都折在这里了呢。”然后，他回头朝洞里喊道：“二哥，他们没事。不用进来了。” 我有些歉意地拍拍他肩膀说：“没事儿，哥几个命都大着呢。” “这是什么地方？”老九皱着眉头有些吃惊地看了看这里的情况。 “上去再说。”我叹了一口气。阿十五抱着那个小鬼率先出去了，王富贵和老九依次跟在后面。一时间这里只剩下了我跟小熊。 我蹲下身，抓抓它的脖子说：“走了，儿子。” 小熊却晃了晃脑袋，挪开它的爪子，我见它爪子下面踩着一个东西。 “这是什么？”我捡起来一看，竟是一个皮夹子。我翻开后，见里面胡乱地塞了一些钱，还有一张照片。 待我看清了那张照片，脑袋“嗡”的一声，瞬间一片空白。 上面是一家三口的照片，一个五六岁的孩子在中间笑得很灿烂，一个女人微笑着靠在她身边男人肩上，那个男人清瘦的脸上有着一双淡金色的眼睛，正看着我似笑非笑。 我几乎是被小熊拖着离开那个洞穴的。来到外面的墓穴，几个人都在等着我。那具小鬼的尸体正放在棺材的一边。 王富贵见我面色苍白，忙问：“怎么了这是？” 我捏着那个钱包，说不出话来。老九赶忙走过来，往我嘴里灌了两口水。冰凉的矿泉水从我口腔里划过食道流到胃里，激得我打了个激灵。 我把手里的皮夹递给王富贵，他一看也是一愣，只是指着照片惊得说不出话来，“这……这……” 其余的人不知道发生了什么事，莫名其妙地看着我们两个。老九担心地问我道：“没事吧，兄弟？” 我缓了好一阵，才摇摇头看着被我们卷在被子里的那个小鬼，苦笑道：“造化弄人。” “现在怎么办？”王富贵合上皮夹，哭丧着脸看着鼓鼓囊囊的被子问我。 “把它放回去吧……”我叹了一口气，弯下腰抱起小鬼的尸体，也顾不上那棺中的腥臭，把它又重新放回棺材中。 这棺材年月久远，就连原本的骨骸也不知去了何处，可现在却真成了这小鬼的埋骨之处。阿十五跟老九抬过棺材板盖上，又不知从哪儿找来钉子，几个人奋力把棺材钉死。 “走吧。”我提着手里的电脑包，身上像是被抽干了一般，脚下软绵绵地被拖回到地面上。 地面上的雾气依然没有消散的迹象，到处都是白茫茫一片，让人恍若置身混沌之中。安老汉蹲在一边抽烟，看到我们上来赶忙过来问道：“警察同志，咬死我家羊的东西，被你们打死了么？” 我看着他摇头苦笑，不知该如何回答，想必他也听到了枪声。 “打死了，打死了。”王富贵脸上挤出一堆笑，“有我们哥几个出手，就是龙王爷亲自来了也白搭。” 安老汉一脸古怪地看着他，王富贵现在身上可好看了，满身都混合着不知名的碎肉、血污和泥巴，鞋子上还沾上了大便。他见老汉这个表情，低头看了看自己，满不在乎地抹掉头发上沾着的一块碎肉，又吓唬安老头道：“老头你是不是做了什么伤天害理的事？惹得龙王爷生气，让夜叉来找你索命？” “可不敢乱说，可不敢乱说……”安老汉被他的话吓得直摆手。我踢了王富贵一脚，转头跟安老汉说道：“安大爷，别听他放屁。今天的事，你不要跟任何人提起。你先回去吧，我们再看看情况。” 安老汉唯唯诺诺地答应着走了。我给阿十五使了个眼色，他点点头，悄悄跟在安老汉后面消失在雾气里。 “现在怎么整？”王富贵看着安老汉走了，一屁股坐在地上，愁眉苦脸地看着我，“我说他这两个月不见人影，原来是躲在这里养小鬼。” “你们在说谁？”老九挠头问道，“谁躲在这里养小鬼？” “咱们要找的那个人！”我叹了一口气。 “啊？”老九也是吓了一跳，压低声音问道，“你是说……伊山羊？” 我挥挥手制止他再继续说下去。我现在很不想听到这个名字，虽然明知道这是自欺欺人，但我总觉得只要我不醒来，世界便不存在。 “现在怎么办？”王富贵看着那个黑漆漆的洞口，“要不填上吧？” 我看了看表，时间还早，我们在底下只待了一个小时左右。我摇摇头，这时阿十五从雾里跳了出来。我问他：“回去了？”阿十五点点头：“我盯着他回去的，小如在等着咱们，我也跟他说了。” “你说在海边拖安老汉家羊的那东西，跟住这里的这位是不是同一人儿……”王富贵无不担心地说道，“如果是那样……那可就更操蛋了。” “首先，在事情还没有清楚之前，不要盖棺定论。”我竖起一个指头，看着他们，“其次，这事儿暂时不能让小桃知道。” “是不能说。”王富贵点点头，又指着那黑漆漆的洞口，“那现在怎么办？要不堵上算了？” “现在不能堵……”我看着荒草丛生的坟头，说，“只要他没死，就肯定会回来，咱们在这儿等着。” “先前在海里开的那枪……”老九划拉着头皮有些担心，“会不会他回不来了？” “肯定能回来。”我点上一根烟，狠狠地抽了一口，“我就要看看他到底在搞什么鬼！” “要不你跟老王先回去。”老九看了看时间，“咱们这么多人在这里太打眼，估计耗子都得绕道走了。我跟十五哥留在这里盯着。反正离得也近，有什么事儿，对讲机里一喊，也来得及。” 我看了看满头满脸都是污物的王富贵，点点头说：“行，我先回去安抚一下那俩丫头，别让她们再整出什么事来。顺便……”我又拍拍那电脑包道：“我得看看这里面装了些什么。一会儿我再来替你们。” 留下的老九与阿十五，两个人找地方躲了起来，等“羊”回洞。 我跟王富贵还有阿大兄弟几个，一起回到小旅馆。
