Dou Sprout looked around with a flashlight and said, "Do you feel it? It's a bit cold. Where is this place? It feels like the temperature difference is at least five or six degrees lower than outside. Isn't it going directly to the water?"
"It's more than five or six degrees. It's much colder inside this cave than outside." Xiaoxuan frowned.
I took out my phone and took a look, but there was no signal at all. The time on my phone showed that it was now 11:40 pm.
After walking about two hundred meters, the stone walls on both sides of the cave suddenly showed a "grey-black" color. This was not a normal color. I pressed it with my fingernails and it felt like it had been burned by a fire a long time ago.
"Come and see! I've found something!" Dou Sprout suddenly shouted.
"What is this? It seems to be an iron teapot."
"show me."
I took it over and took a look. It was made of iron and was severely rusted. It looked like a teapot. The lid was missing and half of the spout was rotten. The overall shape was obviously different from modern teapots. I lifted it up and shined it with a flashlight.
Take a photo of the inner hall.
"This is not a teapot, this is an oil lamp from the past, a pot-type lamp that can be carried in the hand. The wick protrudes from the spout. Add half a pot of less oil and it can light up for a whole night." I said.
"What era is it from? Is it valuable?" Dou Sprout always cares about whether it is valuable.
"It should be from the Song Dynasty. It's so rotten that no one wants to sell it as scrap metal." I threw it on the ground and said, "Although it has no value, this thing gives us some information. Someone came here before."
"What are you doing here? Why are there traces of fire here?" The questions in my mind became deeper and deeper.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a "wuwuwu sound", which was the same as the strange sound we heard when we first arrived on the island.
If we heard it wrong then, it is true now!
My scalp instantly became numb and the hairs on the back of my hands stood up!
Xiaoxuan's face turned pale. She quickly ran to the head and said in a trembling voice: "This is definitely not the sound of wind! This is obviously crying!"
Dou Sprout raised his flashlight high, swallowed hard, and said: "There is nothing here, why don't we go back."
I looked towards the head.
It doesn’t matter what I say, it depends on the boss’s intention.
The head's face remained as usual, and he said in a deep voice: "In our line of work, it is taboo to scare yourself. You didn't listen carefully to the sound just now. It's not like a human cry. It has no emotion, and at the same time, the tone has no ups and downs."
Douyazai whispered: "Botou, please stop comforting us, that's just crying! This is obviously a warning to us!"
"My guess is that a long time ago, the rebels kidnapped a woman, tied her to this cave and raped her. Afterwards, in order to destroy the body and eliminate traces, they burned her to death with the oil lamp they brought with them! This explains why
There are oil lamps here, why are there traces of fire around here?"
He slammed his head into Bean Sprouts and gave him a slap on the head.
I stepped forward and gave it to him.
Dou Sprouts had a wronged expression on his face, and he dared not speak out in anger.
I said: "Don't talk nonsense at this time. Do you know what your name is? What you call is to deceive the army! After all, you are a veteran who has been doing this for several years. A cry of some unknown reason can scare you like this. Come on."
Where is that awesome energy in front of the island?"
"Fengzi, aren't you afraid? If you're not afraid, just go ahead!"
"Just leave! What are you afraid of!"
After saying that, I held up my flashlight and strode deep into the cave.
In fact, I was so scared that I could clearly hear my own heartbeat. What Tou said just now had given me a hint that I had to lead this.
I was afraid that the flashlight would suddenly shine on a woman's face. Maybe her face was burned, she had no eyeballs, her face was covered with maggots crawling around, and she still had a smile on her lips.
Suddenly a hand patted me from behind.
I turned around instantly.
The result was Xiaoxuan's face.
"You're walking too fast. Slow down."
I whispered: "Don't be afraid. I'm here. Nothing will happen. Give me your hand and I will hold you."
Xiaoxuan smiled and handed her hand to me.
She suddenly said: "Yunfeng, if I were possessed by the female ghost that Dou Sprout said, would you still dare to hold my hand?"
Xiaoxuan's hands were very cold, as cold as ice cubes.
Knowing she was joking, I breathed into the palm of her hand, helped her warm it up and said, "Dare, why don't you dare? If you are really possessed by a female ghost, then I will inject yang energy into you and kill the female ghost."
Burn it out."
Xiaoxuan smiled and said: "How can you really be poor? This is the first time I have heard this statement. How can you still get permed?"
"That's because Xie Qirong's Taoist skills were not practiced in vain. Even Dr. Song said that I have innate pure Yang Qi."
Xiaoxuan pursed her lips and said: "Listening to what you said, I really hope that a ghost can get on my body so that I can feel it."
I looked around and whispered, "Are you out of your mind? Never say such things again no matter what the occasion is."
Just as he was talking, there was suddenly no road ahead, and the cave seemed to have come to an end.
"It shouldn't be. Why is there nothing? Since I picked up the oil lamp, there should be some other items left behind."
As soon as I finished speaking, he walked to the corner and waved me over.
I went over and took a look, and saw a stone crack in front of me, which was only thirty or forty centimeters wide.
He held up his flashlight and looked into the crack in the stone, then said, "Go in and take a look."
Fortunately, none of us are fat. We took off our backpacks and only carried a flashlight. If we turned sideways, we could barely get in.
I'm in front, followed by Xiaoxuan's bean sprouts.
The space was quite narrow, and my back was hurting. I crawled in for more than twenty meters with difficulty, and suddenly I saw that the front was blocked.
In other words, it was stuffed to death!
It was sealed tightly by a wooden stake that was completely black, more than thirty centimeters wide, and resembled a beam.
I was shocked, turned sideways and held up the flashlight,
I stretched out my hand and touched it. It was a whole piece of cypress wood, and it was painted with raw lacquer. When I touched it, I could see clear palm prints, and the surface was covered with dust.
Xiaoxuan squeezed over and pressed close to me. She also saw it and her expression was very surprised.
"Hold your head! There's something! The road here is blocked by wooden stakes!" I shouted.
"No need to shout, I saw it."
I pushed hard and it was stuck very tightly! It didn't budge at all.
"Give me your knife."
I used the knife Xiaoxuan handed me to test the hardness, and found that the wooden pile was harder than cast iron. Since the lines were not visible after being painted with raw paint, I guessed it might be a hardwood like snakewood or guaiac wood.
There must be some big secret hidden behind this.
I looked up and saw that this wooden stake went all the way to the top. I put my head through Xiaoxuan and asked me: "Can you use the method of drilling a horizontal well to get through it?"
I lowered my head and looked down, gasping and saying, "No, it's no good. It's all made of stone. If we were to dig a horizontal well, it would be better to drill through this wooden pile."
Bean sprouts was at the end, and he shouted loudly: "Fengzi! Can you burn it with fire? It's just wood after all! Burn it!"
"Wait a minute, you can help me shine some light, and I'll climb up and have a look!"
Passing the flashlight to Xiaoxuan, I pressed my back against the wall of the cave, mainly relying on the strength of my hands to climb up.
It's said to be crawling, but actually it's meant to be rubbed.
It felt like my back was bleeding from the friction, so I leaned on it and climbed to the top.
"Yunfeng, be careful! Don't fall!" Xiaoxuan reminded me to be careful.
This wooden stake is close to the roof of the cave just like the vertical beam, but when viewed from a close distance, there is still a gap in the joint, which is about the thickness of several playing cards stacked together.
"Give me the flashlight!"
Xiaoxuan immediately threw it to me.
There was just such a small gap. I held the flashlight tightly and looked inside curiously.
