The cousin first let out a long sigh, paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "As you all know, I study history, not natural science, so I don't understand many of the things I encountered today.

I can only talk about it from a historical perspective, and I don’t know exactly what the reason is.”

When my cousin said this, he suddenly asked us: "Do you still remember the 'rainwater poison'?"

Of course we remember that weird poison - when it rained last time, there was a hole in the yard that couldn't be blocked, and with that hole as the center, there were holes in four directions. In fact,

That is a special kind of poison. People who live here will be infected by that kind of poison whenever it rains. As soon as they leave this place, their heart and blood pressure will have problems, and they will even die in the end. Mr. Chen’s

My high school classmate most likely died like this.

When Mr. Chen and his wife left this place, they were also infected by the poison and almost died. The poison was broken after their cousin discovered it.

What everyone doesn't understand is why my cousin suddenly mentioned that kind of poison at this time.

Seeing everyone nodding, my cousin continued: "There seems to be some connection between that 'rain poison' and the death zone on the other side of the crack."

The cousin's words made everyone feel extremely scared. Madman Six asked in surprise: "Is there a similar poison on the other side of the crack? When we get there, if it rains, we will be poisoned.

And then you can never leave there?"

After listening to what Crazy Six said, my cousin neither nodded nor shook his head, but sighed and said: "I don't know if it is really what the old man said, but our local chronicles once recorded such a strange thing.

It seems to be related to the death zone on the other side of the crack——

It was during the Spring and Autumn Period. One winter, there was a heavy snowfall that had never happened in a century. However, two small countries nearby were fighting in this area, killing you to death. When the heavy snow fell, the troops and soldiers of the two countries were at war.

The casualties were even heavier, not because of the fighting, but because in this snowy day, a large number of soldiers died of cold and starvation.

That winter, I don’t know why, but the weather should be considered abnormal. Generally speaking, our area is not so cold, nor does it snow so heavily. Soldiers from both countries were trapped in the mountains, and people from outside could not enter.

If they didn't come, the people in the mountains wouldn't be able to get out, and there would be almost no food in the knee-deep snow, so almost all of the 40,000 to 50,000 people on both sides died here.

But in the end, more than a hundred people survived, because these more than a hundred people discovered a strange place in the mountains. There was no snow at all in that place, and it was lush and green. The vegetation still looked like summer. If it were just

We can also explain this phenomenon with geothermal, that is to say, in that place, because there are hot springs and the like underground, the surface temperature is extremely high, so there is no snow, and some plants can even grow.

But if this is the case, there is another point that makes no sense: if it is really geothermal, then there must be many animals gathering in such a place with high temperatures, and there should even be some hibernating animals, such as snakes, frogs, etc., because in

In some areas with geothermal heat, this kind of animal gathering often occurs in winter. The animals are very sensitive to the surface temperature.

The more than 100 people who survived clearly mentioned that they didn't see any animals in that place. They searched specifically for it, but they didn't find even a bug.

The temperature in that place was indeed relatively high, which prevented them from freezing to death. These more than a hundred people happened to be in charge of food and grass, so they stored a large amount of food. In this way, they survived.

But what outsiders couldn't understand was that since the place they found was not in a cave, why didn't others discover it? Only they, more than a hundred people, discovered it.

The survivors did not elaborate on these secrets. They just explained that the place where they survived was very strange. God sent them there, and others could only watch helplessly through a deep ditch.

And can't get past it.

Just in the second year, something even stranger happened.

The next winter after these people came out, after the first snowfall, for some unknown reason, more than a hundred people died on the snow, and their faces after death were very ferocious and turned blue.

, it seems that they should die in a very painful way, but there are no injuries on each of them.

What makes people wonder is why more than a hundred people, without exception, all ran to the snow outside the house and died on the night of the first snow, in different places.

The common people at that time said that the reason why the more than 100 people who survived did not die with so many others must have used some despicable means and done something shameful. Therefore, the tens of thousands of souls who died were looking for

They came to claim their lives.

This incident caused a sensation in the government and the public. The kings of several nearby small countries specially built altars and performed rituals for the dead soldiers. This kind of rituals lasted for two months.

When I couldn't see any living creatures on the other side of the crack, I suddenly thought of this and felt horrified, so I hurriedly asked everyone to get back in.

Because I vaguely felt that the place where the more than 100 people who survived should be in the "death zone" on the other side of the crack. They might have accidentally discovered the cave, and then got into it with food, and did not leave it.

Tell other soldiers this secret.

It's easy to understand why they did this - if all the soldiers knew about the cave and crawled through it, then there would be no way for more than a hundred of them to survive, because the food would be eaten up very quickly.

, Therefore, in order to enable them to survive, they hid the cave or simply blocked the cave so that the soldiers could not pass through.

You can imagine how painful it would be to feel like tens of thousands of soldiers on this side of the crack, looking helplessly at more than a hundred people on the opposite side. They don't have to endure hunger, but they themselves can't. If there were

As for that stone pillar, many people will definitely rush to climb to the other side, but what is certain is that no one will succeed, because the strong gravity will make them fall down one by one and die.

But the final result, perhaps no one expected - these more than a hundred soldiers who escaped death only lived one year longer than their comrades, and died mysteriously in the first heavy snow of the next year.

He died, and his death was so weird. I don’t know why, but I always feel that this is very similar to that kind of 'rainwater Gu'."

After hearing what my cousin said, all of us were silent. Although my cousin talked about the weirdness of that place from a historical perspective, we still had no idea why it was like this.

But if it is really similar to that "rain poison", we don't have to worry - because that poison can only work after a snowy day, so it won't have much impact on us.

But only by thoroughly understanding the reasons can we feel at ease.

It's a pity that we are in the mountains and communication is extremely inconvenient. Otherwise, we can ask Sister Li's cousin Yang Hui. He is a microbiologist. This kind of mysterious poison is usually bacteria or some kind of virus. When encountering special

Only after certain environment can it have an effect on people.

In the earliest days, the box that Sister Li and I found in the cemetery was also studied by Li Hui. What is more valuable is that he not only has profound professional attainments, but also has a deep research on literature and history, and has a broad knowledge perspective. If this kind of

If you can ask him about the matter, it might be easy to figure it out.

But it's useless to say that now. This is deep in the mountains, and there is no signal for mobile phones at all. Even the satellite phone of the female translator has intermittent signals.

However, I still expressed this idea - although I felt that it was useless - but after listening to it, the female translator seemed to suddenly think of something and said: "Well, this is the right direction for thinking.

Although we can't contact the microbiologist, I can ask my colleague, the one who told us about stones before, she also majors in a similar field, and her knowledge is also very broad."

Everyone heard what the female translator said and thought it was a good idea. Usually, due to the language barrier, we have not allowed them to participate in many recent actions. However, through the explanation of the stone by the female assistant last time, we were able to

I know that the female assistant is really secretive and has a wealth of relevant knowledge.

That kind of stone can cause people to temporarily lose their memory just by looking at it with a magnifying glass. None of us know what it is, but she knows it and analyzes it clearly, which is really not to be underestimated.

So, the female translator told the Japanese female assistant about the "death zone" in Japanese.

The female assistant listened very seriously and nodded while listening. The two chatted in Japanese for a long time before they finally finished. Although we couldn't understand what they said specifically, we could tell from the two words.

From the look on her face, we all felt that the female assistant seemed to know something about this kind of thing, which made everyone very excited.

After a long time, the two of them finished speaking. The female translator turned to us and said, "You are indeed asking the right question. This colleague of mine really knows something about this kind of thing."

I was the first to say excitedly: "Oh, that's great, please tell me what's going on."

The female translator looked at me, her face turned slightly red, she smiled, and said in her gentle voice: "Okay, my female colleague said..."

Before the female translator finished speaking, suddenly, we saw the "Monkey Eagle" next to us soar into the sky, screamed, and flew out all of a sudden. This sudden move gave all of us a big meal.

Surprised, everyone knew that this must be what the "Monkey Eagle" discovered.

We all ran out immediately, but when we went out to look, the "Monkey Eagle" had already flown far away. We vaguely saw that it seemed to be chasing something, and the thing shouldn't be big.

It looked like just a small black dot, and within a few seconds, the "Monkey Eagle" and the small black dot disappeared.

What's going on? What is the "Monkey Eagle" chasing?

Of course, Old Man Ouyang was the most worried. He shouted a few times, but the "Monkey Eagle" had disappeared without a trace. Old Man Ouyang rushed in the direction of the "Monkey Eagle"'s flight.
