Chapter 76 Keel

When I saw I finally got out of the cave, I was about to cheer, but I heard the fat man say that I had a human face on my back. This nonsense sentence was like a bucket of biting ice water being poured down my head, and I felt chilled in my heart.

Halfway through, I hurriedly twisted my neck to look at my back. Then I realized that I couldn't see, so I asked the fat man: What the hell are you talking about? I have a human face on my back. Whose face is it? Don't scare me.

I've been having a nervous breakdown lately.

The fat man pulled the big gold tooth, pointed at my back and said: What am I trying to scare you for? Let Lao Jin take a look and see if what I say is true.

Da Jinya put Wen Xiangyu in his arms on the ground. He stayed in the dark cave for a long time and could not see clearly, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, stood behind me and looked at my back: Hu

Master, there is indeed a palm-sized patch on the two shoulder blades on your back. It is as blurry as a birthmark. Is it a human face? It seems more like an eye.

Why do I have an eye on my back? My scalp feels numb. When I mention eyes, the first thing that comes to mind is that exquisite ancient city in the desert of Xinjiang. That nightmarish memory is compared to the tragic events I suffered on the battlefield.

From memory, it was almost the same, just terrible and sad. I bent my arms and touched my back, but I didn't feel anything. I asked Big Gold Tooth to describe in detail what exactly was growing on my back.

Is the thing a human face or an eye?

Da Jinya said to me: It's just a round dark red light mark. You can't tell it unless you look carefully. It's a circle, and it looks a bit like the level of the pupils of the eyes. Maybe what I said is not accurate. It should be

It is said to look like an eyeball, but not like an eye, with no eyelids or eyelashes.

I asked the fat man again: Fatty, didn’t you just say it looked like a human face? Why did Lord Jin say it looked like eyeballs again?

The fat man said behind me: Old Hu, just now I was only thinking about the human face in the ghost tomb. Suddenly I saw such a round mark on your back, and I mistakenly thought it was a face. Now look carefully.

Look, don't tell me, this really looks like the eyeball shape we saw in the ancient city of Jingjue.

The more Fatty and Big Gold Tooth talked about me, the more flustered I became. This is definitely not a birthmark. I don’t know if I have a birthmark myself. What is growing on my back? What worries me the most is that there is no mirror and I can’t see myself.

's back.

At this time, Da Jinya suddenly shouted: Fat Master, you also have the same birthmark on your back as Mr. Hu. You two, please take a look at my back.

I looked at the big gold tooth and the fat man's back again, and found that there was a round dark red mark on the left side of the fat man's back. It was indeed like a birthmark. It was fuzzy, the lines were not clear, and it was about the size of a palm.

, somewhat like the shape of an eyeball, but it is not certain. The dark red color, like blood, looks particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The back of the big gold tooth was smooth, with nothing except the worn places. Fatty and I were both dumbfounded. This was definitely not a coincidence, and it seemed that it was not caused when we were together with the big gold tooth.

Yes, it is very likely that it has something to do with the experience of going to the ghost cave in Xinjiang. Could it be that the survivors of our expedition were all cursed by the bottomless ghost cave?

I remember that we had just arrived in Gutian two days ago. We were in danger in the Yellow River and were soaked to the skin. When we arrived at the guest house, we went to take a hot bath together. At that time, no one seemed to have found such a strange red mark on their body, that is,

It is said that it just appeared in the past two days. Could it be that it is not related to the ghost cave, but that some kind of virus was infected in the Longling Ancient Tomb? But why didn't it appear on Da Jinya? Is Da Jinya sensitive to this virus?

immune

The fat man said to me: "Lao Hu, don't think too much. Just relax. It's no big deal. It doesn't hurt or itch. When you go back to take a shower, find a bather and rub it hard. Maybe it will be gone."

, we got a baby this time, we should be happy. Look where this place is, why does it look familiar to me?

As soon as I climbed out of the cave, I was told by the fat man that there was something strange growing on my back. I was so flustered that I didn't care where the exit of the cave was. I just remembered that the entrance to the cave was very narrow and was filled with collapsed loess.

I heard the fat man say that the area looked familiar, so I looked up and couldn't help but laugh: It turns out that we have been wandering around for a long time, and by coincidence, we are back again.

It turns out that the exit we climbed out of Longling was the place where when we first arrived at the Fish Bone Temple, I climbed up the ridge to observe the Feng Shui situation nearby. When I came down, I stepped on a piece of earth halfway up the mountain and almost sunk in.

At that time, Fatty and Da Jinya heard the sound and came over and pulled me out of the earth shell. The earth slope collapsed and turned into a hole. We even looked inside and thought it was connected to the underground cave.

Now it seems that the gap in the mountain is interconnected with the large cave where the human-faced bronze tripod is enshrined. After walking around the cave for a long time, I finally climbed out of the cave entrance that accidentally collapsed.

Our luggage and other belongings were placed at the Fish Bone Temple not far ahead. The most important thing was to find clothes and put them on as soon as possible, otherwise the young lady and young wife we ​​met in the ravine would treat the three of us as hooligans.

I know it's useless to think about this kind of thing, but the dark red marks that suddenly appeared on my back cast a shadow over our victory, and I felt very unhappy. The key is that I don't know what the traces on the back are.

I need to see a doctor first when I go back. Although there is nothing strange about it, it is not the original thing. It just feels weird when it grows on my body.

The wind was very strong in the ravine, so we carried the original Wenxiang Jade stone back to the Fish Bone Temple quickly with nothing to cover our bodies. After leaving for almost a day, the things were still intact and hidden behind the Dragon King Shrine. The three of us

They each found some clothes and put them on. They took out the liquor in their bags and drank a few sips. Anyway, this piece of gold and fragrant jade was obtained. Once they return to Beijing, it will be a big sum.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Big Gold Tooth stroked the raw stone of Wen Xiang Yu. He was so proud for a moment that he couldn't help but sing: Firstly, I am not a thief or bandit, and secondly, I am not a gangster who steals the city. It doesn't matter whether I am a king or a clown. I can do it with one sword.

Block millions of soldiers

Although I felt a little bit happy about making money, when I thought of the red traces on my back, I lost my interest and just drank in silence.

I felt something bad in my heart. This kind of mark like an eyeball would never appear for no reason. When I thought of this, I felt that my back became very heavy.

When Da Jinya saw this, he advised me: Mr. Hu, you are also an open-minded person. Don't take this matter to heart. Go back to the hospital for a check-up. If you really don't want to do surgery to cut off this piece of skin, it will be fine.

It's not very big, and it doesn't look deep, so it won't be a big problem. It's best to see a Chinese medicine doctor first, and maybe it will go away after taking a couple of medicines.

The fat man said to Big Gold Tooth: This is not a skin disease for either of us. What's the use of looking for a doctor? If we look for a doctor, we might as well burn it off ourselves.

I said to Fatty and Big Gold Tooth: Forget it, do whatever you want. Anyway, I’m not dead today. Let’s have a good drink first and we’ll talk about tomorrow’s matters.

The fat man touched the wine bottle to me, raised his neck, and drank the remaining half of the bottle in one breath: We have just made a fortune, but we have to be careful about this life, and we hope to enjoy it for the rest of our lives.

After eating and drinking, it was already dark. We returned to the village at the foot of Shepan Slope overnight and stayed overnight in the village. We returned to Gutian the next day and prepared to cross the Yellow River to the north. However, we were told that the upper reaches of the river had been lowered in the past two days.

The heavy rain has caused the water in this section of the Yellow River to be too strong, and it will take a ferry to cross the river the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

We discussed that if we were to find a boat at another ferry, it would take at least a day's journey to get there, so we might as well stay in Gutian County for two days, take the opportunity to rest, and wander around the county.

I can pick up some leaks and collect a few clear items.

So we still stayed in the same guest house as last time, but this time the guest house was almost full, and many people were waiting to cross the river. Gutian is a small place, with only two or three guest houses and hotels, so there were no choices.

There was no room for us, so we had to live in a bungalow on the first floor.

The main bunk can sleep eight people. After the three of us went there, a total of five people slept, and there were still three empty seats. We were not sure about storing something as valuable as Wen Xiangyu on the cabinet, so we had to sleep on three floors inside and three outside.

After wrapping her up, she took turns watching her in the room and hugging her when she went out.

That night, Fatty and Da Jinya were watching Wen Xiangyu in the room. I went to the bathroom in the backyard of the guest house to take a shower, and happened to meet Old Liu, who had had a drink with us.

I said hello to him, said a few polite words, and asked him if there were any famous Chinese medicine doctors in Gutian County who could treat skin diseases.

Old man Liu said that there was an old Chinese doctor who had great medical skills and was able to cure psoriasis with rejuvenating medicine. He then asked me with concern if I was sick or uncomfortable.

I was going to take a shower. I was only wearing a shirt, so I unbuttoned two buttons and asked Old Man Liu to look at my back. He said that I had a scabies on my back and wanted to see a doctor.

After seeing this, Old Man Liu was shocked and said to me: Brother, how did you get this? I don't think this looks like a skin disease. This is a blood-like red mark. The shape is very similar to a word, and I can also see this word.

Pass.

I asked: What is this word behind me? What word can you see?

Old man Liu said: It was in the 1980s when a primary school was rebuilt in our county. When laying the foundation, some strange animal bones were dug out. They were looted by the people. Then the archaeological team came, and through the county radio,

They took away all the bones. Experts from the archaeological team lived in our guest house. When they were collecting them, I saw this word on the bone armor more than once. Shumeng
