Snowy Land of Life and Death Chapter 41: Traps
There was no way to crawl forward now, so I could only retreat. In such a narrow hole, it was easy to move forward, but harder to move back. My elbows and knees were rubbing against each other as I moved back, not to mention the discomfort. It took me a long time to retreat in disgrace.
go out.
The three of us were all rubbish. Only the kid Tashi was probably frightened. He didn’t say a word along the way and did everything at the back. He just climbed in and we backed away after a while. Compared to us
Although the three of them looked embarrassed, he looked well-dressed.
I spent a lot of energy, and while panting, I told the three people about the situation in front of the cave entrance. Brother Wang said curiously: "There is a person blocked in the cave? What a strange thing."
I said: "What's even weirder is that, you see, among the cave entrances, only this one has traces of the little yellow dog and others climbing. If they also encountered the corpse, they would definitely exit like us.
, or choose another intersection, but they did not exit."
Brother Wang said in a deep voice: "It means that the body did not exist when they went in."
I shuddered and thought to myself, that corpse suddenly appeared there to block us? This idea is a bit ridiculous. Even if it is haunted, you have to see the corpse. God knows, this place is a place full of ghosts.
There are no corpses.
At this moment, Tashi suddenly knelt down on the ground, clasped his hands, and muttered something in Tibetan that I couldn't understand. I was about to ask him why he was so crazy, but the ghost Chen seemed to understand Tibetan.
, his face suddenly changed, and then he looked around, as if he was looking for something, but this simple side hall was only made of stone and dirt, how could there be anything there?
Ghost Chen glanced around and suddenly stopped at the drum, motioning for us to move the drum away. I thought to myself, didn't you say not to cause trouble before? Why are you moving the drum now? But his words are imperial edict.
I didn't dare to delay, so I quickly followed the instructions. After the drum was turned away, a channel exactly like the one on the right was exposed below. There was also a pool of black water in it, but the strange thing was that there seemed to be something floating in the water.
Ghost Chen signaled me to use tools to salvage the contents inside. I had no choice but to work as a coolie, so I used a folding shovel and lay down by the entrance of the cave. I reached down to scoop up the contents below. After the folding shovel hit, I felt
The things soaked in the black water are hard,
When I scooped it up and looked at the light, it turned out to be a silver gilt agate cup. When I wiped the black water on it, the agate cup immediately became shiny. Although I don’t know much about Tibetan culture, I’m afraid a cup of this size would be
Only wealthy families at that time could afford it.
I have seen a lot of valuable objects in the past year, but this cup is so exquisite in shape that it really makes people admire it. Tashi had already gotten up from the ground, looking a little dazed, but when he saw the cup, he immediately
His eyes widened when he saw it, and he swallowed his saliva and said: "It turns out that there are so many treasures in this black water." Then he immediately said: "Boss Sun, you rest, let me do this kind of physical work."
What he was thinking was all shown on his face, making people unprepared. I was angry and funny at the same time and said, "Aren't you scared?"
Tashi was not good at words, so he took over the folding shovel with a shy face and took over my work. I was very happy and watched from the side. On the contrary, the ghost Chen's eyes were very cold, as deep as a black hole. I didn't know what he was.
No matter what he is tabooed about, it must not be something good that makes him taboo.
Tashi lay on his body and after a few fishes it seemed that he had caught something. He scooped up the thing and found it was a dark mass dripping with black water. He didn’t know what it was. Tashi imitated my example and immediately picked it up.
He wiped it with a cloth, but as he was wiping it, his hand suddenly shook and he shouted: "Oh my God!" He suddenly jumped up behind me and said, "It's a human head!"
The thing was thrown away by Tashi, and it rolled a black water mark and stopped. When I looked at it, my heart skipped a beat. It was a human head with long hair and a face like tree bark. This, this was the same as what I saw in the cave before.
The heads that arrived were exactly the same!
Ghost Chen narrowed his eyes, kicked the head back into the black water, and then said calmly: "Human sacrifices have been used here, and there are some ghosts, but they are nothing to be afraid of. You should follow me closely." It seems,
Ghost Chen was about to take the lead. Looking at the injuries on his body, I felt a little frustrated and felt quite useless.
At this time, Tashi was still hiding behind me. I was already in a bad mood, so I pulled him out and said, "Why are you hiding? Let me ask you, why did you suddenly kneel down just now? What were you talking about?"
When Tashi heard this, his expression changed, and he bowed quickly and said: "Boss Sun, don't talk nonsense, I just saw the pattern on the drum. Look, there is a god with three heads, three arms, a leopard tail and an ox body on it.
, is the mountain god we enshrine here, we shouldn’t have barged in here in the first place, so naturally we have to apologize to the mountain god.”
I said: "The mountain god is very busy, so he has no time to listen to you. Besides, look at the altar has been occupied by foxes. We are here to help him clean up the door. The mountain god must be very grateful to us. What are you afraid of?"
Son."
When it comes to talking, Tashi is not as sharp as me. He suddenly stuttered and couldn't speak. Ghost Chen shook his head, seemingly helpless, and said slowly: "Don't delay, let's go."
We returned to the previous cave entrance. This time, Ghost Chen took the lead, and Brother Wang took the second place. In order to prevent Tashi from falling off the chain, I asked Tashi to take the third place, and I took the fourth place. Of course, the main reason was to prevent another appearance.
If something unexpected happens and you need to retreat, it won't be so painful to be the last one.
It turned out that the journey went smoothly. I felt that the fox hole was too long. In my impression, foxes always like to invade the nests of other animals and are generally too lazy to dig their own holes. However, this hole was obviously not made artificially.
, but are dug by animals in the frozen soil. The soil here is cold and hard, and is condensed very tightly, comparable to stones. It is really difficult for the foxes to make holes with their little claws.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone pushed my soles from behind, urging me to crawl faster. I just wanted to curse, saying that I am not a mouse. I can't move faster in such a narrow hole! Before I could say anything, I was stunned. No.
, I am the last one, how could there be someone behind me?
But I felt very clearly that there was a hand pushing me forward. At this moment, the voice of Ghost Chen suddenly came from the front: "The cave-in is starting, go back quickly!"
I didn't care what was behind me, whether it was a ghost or a zombie. In short, I didn't want to be buried alive, so I had better get out of this damn hole. But when I stepped back, those hands kept pressing against mine.
The force of his feet was so strong that Ben and I were unable to move back. At this time, Tashi had already retreated halfway, and her butt was almost touching my face. She had been wearing pants for nearly a week, and was being padded by a fox again. The smell
Forget it.
I was so excited that I quickly turned my head and shouted: "Don't retreat, stop!"
But Brother Wang in front said in a hoarse voice: "Quick, quick, the cave has collapsed, what's going on behind you, retreat quickly!"
Tashi also kept pushing on my shoulders with his feet and said anxiously: "Boss Sun, hurry up." He was anxious and I was anxious too. I didn't know why the landslide suddenly occurred, but I could still feel the clods of soil moving in.
Falling down, the air in the dark and narrow cave was thin. We were crowded together and it was difficult to breathe. My heart skipped a beat, and I kicked the thing behind with all my strength, but nothing came out.
What's going on?
That thing is gone?
I couldn't care less about being happy, and immediately started to back away. But as I was backing up, I suddenly found that there was a gap behind me, and I suddenly fell down. I was instantly plunged into the darkness. Before I could react, Tashi above me also fell down.
came down, followed by Brother Wang, and then Ghost Chen.
how so?
When we came, this cave didn't have any forks. Why did there suddenly appear an extra hole going downwards?
I felt that this hole was also very narrow. Judging from the time we fell, the height of the hole should not be high. It was estimated to be only about five or six meters. We could get out by taking a personal ladder. But then, dirt kept falling on us.
It was as if someone was preparing to bury us alive with a shovel.
I immediately remembered the hand blocking my retreat, and quickly touched the searchlight rolling aside. Then I turned on the light. I saw more than a dozen furry paws on the edge of the hole above, kicking the soil vigorously.
A lot of soil fell on us, and then
After taking a look, my eyes were fascinated by the soil, and I couldn't open them at all. I burst into tears. The hole was extremely narrow. Several of us fell down one after another. Our postures were irregular. If you move even a little, your hand will be crushed.
If you step on his balls, it will be difficult to move.
I was so angry and anxious, because those foxes were the ones doing the trick. They had turned into spirits and dug a hole to bury us alive.
At this time, Guhun Chen, who was the last to fall, suddenly took off his coat. With a shake of his coat, it shook out like a handkerchief in the Northeastern duo's twirl, blocking the downward soil. We took advantage of this moment to quickly adjust our posture.
I heard someone said that spitting would heal the eyes, so I immediately spat out, only to hear Tashi suddenly shout: "Oh, the fox even peed on us."
I choked and thought, could my saliva taste the same as fox urine? After vomiting, my eyes really opened, and I could see everything around me more clearly. Ghost Chen's clothes were like a wall blocking the way.
But as the amount of soil increased, the straight clothes became heavier and heavier. Ghost Chen could not support it alone, so Brother Wang went to help. The two of them pulled the four corners of the clothes respectively, barely blocking the momentum, but
