Chapter 7 Drop a deep pit, a wall of bones and skeletons is 250,000
We have been walking along the mountain road, with ups and downs. It is a dirt road made by the mountain people with their soles. At the beginning, there were some fields, but then they disappeared. It was all dense and undulating mountain forests. However, when we reached the front of Heizhugou,
, but it felt that the terrain suddenly became much lower, all the way down, forming a wide grand canyon, about a few hundred meters. Looking through the thin mist, you can see green grass, dense trees, and occasionally some red ones.
Small yellow and white flowers are dotted here, and there is not even a bit of winter chill, but it looks full of green, just like spring.
The road going down to Heizhugou is a large piece of skateboard rock with an angle of forty degrees. It is winding and not easy to walk. Yesterday Wan Sanye and the others stopped here. It rained all night, and the rock looked even more dangerous.
It's so slippery that if you're not careful, you might fall into the ditch and be shattered to pieces.
The group of people stopped at the top of the skateboard rock and looked at the misty ditch below, feeling that the future was uncertain.
Wan Sanye is over 70 years old. Along the way, his face is neither red nor out of breath, showing his strong body. On the contrary, his eldest nephew Wan Yongyong is panting and tortured by the mud along the way. Wan Yong is old.
More than fifty, but Wan Sanye's two grandsons, Wan Chaoxin and Wan Chaodong, one in their thirties and the other in their twenties, are both in their prime, but they are too tired to squat on the ground and refuse to get up.
They are all men who are used to running in these mountains. This shows how difficult it is to walk on the mountain road after the heavy rain.
It would be extremely difficult to find the missing Wan Chaoan under such circumstances, unless the boy ran out on his own.
Wan Sanye used a wooden stick to dig through the grass nearby, and then stared at the ground, trying to find some remaining traces, but there were none, which made him a little confused. Wan Chaodongchao squatted on the ground.
Looking at Mr. Wan San, he pointed to the mountain road on the side and said: "Grandpa San, the humidity has been heavy these days, and the goats are afraid of slippery hooves. They will definitely not slip into this black bamboo ditch. I'm afraid that Xiao Anzi will catch Liang.
Are you going to the umbrella slope?"
Wan Sanye ignored him, twirling his beard and thinking for a while, then squatted down, untied his raincoat, took out two copper coins from his arms, folded his hands, prayed silently, and threw them on the ground.
When others saw clearly, he put away the copper coins, stood up and said, let's go, let's go down.
After saying that, he took the lead and walked down. Zhao Zhonghua and several of his descendants followed carefully along the zigzag stone path.
Just as we were about to follow, the tiger cat flying in the sky flew down and stood on the arm of the mixed-haired path. He shook his body and sprayed water on our faces. I was just about to scold this damn fat bitch.
Chicken, but we heard it tell us in a lower voice than usual that there was something strange in the ditch.
I smiled casually and said that there must be something weird about this ditch. Otherwise, wouldn’t those people who disappeared or died in the past sacrifice their lives in vain?
Mr. Tiger Cat pointed to the ditch at the foot of the slope and said that not only was there a strong yin energy, but there also seemed to be the shadow of the magic circle. I was afraid that many people died in Heizhugou in the past because they were fascinated by the magic circle.
You can't come... But, I'm here, so if you want to go in, you don't have to worry. Zamao Xiaodao and I quickly flattered it, saying yes, yes, it all depends on the care of the adults.
When the guy heard the compliment, he immediately became excited and said, "Little poison, if you betroth your good daughter to me, I will ensure that you can come and go freely, how about it?"
The shopkeeper's shout came from the bottom of the slope. I took a bite out of the toad that wanted to eat the swan meat and walked down the slope with a wooden stick. The angry voice of the tiger cat came from behind: "You bitch!"
Even if you are trapped to death, I will not help you, sir!"
I laughed loudly: "Isn't it true that Duoduo can't come out either?"
Lord Tiger Cat: "You..."
**********
After descending from the skateboard rock to the bottom of the ditch, we found that the heavy rain yesterday had flooded the creek in the distance. As a result, the water in the creek surged and overflowed the surrounding rocks, creating a swamp. However, the bottom of the ditch was wide, only half a mile, so we naturally chose that terrain.
Walking at a higher place. The white mist in the ditch seems a bit dense from above, but it is nothing when you go down to the bottom of the valley. Looking up, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery within tens of meters.
Wan Sanye's eyes were very vicious, and soon he found evidence that Wan Chaoan had been here in front of a nest of grass.
Looking at the black button on the old man's hand, Wan Yong also confirmed that it should be the button on Chao An's bastard's jacket.
Now that we have clues, we naturally search next to the mouth of the ditch. However, everyone else is searching for traces of people, but most of my attention is looking for the flowers and plants around me - before setting off, Wan Sanye
Tell me what the wormwood looks like and let me pay more attention when I go into the mountain. It is a matter of life, so I will naturally take the trouble to look for it everywhere.
We searched like a fishing net for a while, but found no more clues, so we walked towards the inner room.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I seemed to notice a dark shadow on the top of the skateboard slope in my peripheral vision, but when I looked carefully, it was nowhere to be seen. I pulled Wan Chaodong next to me and asked him if we were the only ones going into the mountain today.
Is there anyone else following these people? Wan Chaodong fell several times when he came down, his hands were covered in mud, and he looked unhappy. When I asked this, he laughed and said, "Who can come to this mountain without any trouble in this heavy rain day?"
?are you crazy!
I stopped talking, looked back at the top of the slope a few times in confusion, and continued walking inside.
There are a lot of rocky areas at the bottom of the ravine. Although there is also water, it is much easier to walk than the mountain road we came on. There is no mud, so we move forward carefully and feel that our steps are much lighter. Zamao Xiaodao and I are at the rear of the team.
He and everyone took turns shouting the name "Wan Chao'an" continuously, hoping that the daredevil would hear him and show up quickly.
After walking for about a few miles, several forked roads suddenly branched out ahead. There were wild beast trails heading into the dense forest, stone paths that went straight, and mud roads that went along the stream.
The valley is wide, and there are only seven of us, so it is naturally impossible for us to divide our troops into several routes. Wan Sanye squatted on the ground, asked for directions with copper coins, and finally chose the path on the left that was trodden by wild beasts. Our trip
We brought two three-barreled shotguns (three bursts), carried by Wan Yong and Wan Chaoxin respectively, to protect against wild beasts. Wan Chaoxin is the militia captain in the village and often goes hunting in the mountains on weekdays, so naturally he takes the lead.
, go all the way forward.
I still made it to the end, and after walking for a while, I suddenly saw several plants with dark green broad leaves in the thorn grass not far away. The stems and branches were long and thick, the hairs were sparse and short, and the edges and centers of the vines were densely covered with papillae.
The protrusions are sparse on the back, and dotted with some obovate white fruits. Look at this shape, could it be the Artemisia snow gall I am looking for?
I was so happy that I hurriedly walked over, wanting to take a closer look. Unexpectedly, I didn't take a few steps, but I didn't feel any force on the grass-like ground in front of me. As soon as my feet were empty, I started to fall.
The moment my body lost balance, all the muscles in my body tensed up. I twisted my waist and reached out to grab a few canopies of weeds.
ah--
The weeds couldn't bear my weight, and they immediately broke away from the soil and fell with me. I was panicking, but before I could react, my feet hit the ground. I squatted half-squat, buffering the potential energy of the fall and holding it tight.
I looked around with the light coming from above and realized that I had fallen into a long and narrow pit. Because the grass above grew densely and densely, and there was a layer of floating soil, I thought it was flat ground and fell into it.
"Little poison, little poison..."
An anxious call from Zamao Xiao came from overhead, and then the light dimmed, and the space above was blocked by a figure.
The pit was three to four meters high, and I was afraid that he would fall, so I quickly said it was okay. I am a man of iron, so I won’t be broken if I step on it. He cursed angrily and said, “You idiot, just run here if you have nothing to do.”
Mao, come up quickly. It was a little dark in the pit, so I took out the flashlight and prepared to find a place to hold the force and climb up. But as soon as I turned on the flashlight and shone it on the wall, I was so frightened that my heart began to tremble rapidly.
I'll rub it...
This entire mud wall is densely inlaid with many white bones of dead people. The bones include thigh bones, ribs and bones that are broken into pieces. What is even more shocking are the skulls mixed in among them, some of which are black.
, white and gray, covered with slippery moss. The sudden encounter made my tongue numb and my whole body stiff. I shined the flashlight everywhere, and I saw that there were bones on all sides of the long pit, as well as under my feet.
There happened to be a rope hanging down from the top, so I immediately pulled it and climbed up on my hands and feet. Zamao Xiaodao saw my face with a shocked look on his face and asked what was wrong? I said, damn, there are dead bones down there. The previous shopkeeper said this is
The ancient battlefield is indeed true.
Zamao Xiaodao scoffed, saying that two thousand years have passed and there are no bones left. Are your eyesight?
Seeing that he didn't believe it, I encouraged him to go down and have a look, but he didn't want to. He raised his legs and started to leave. He said that there was something going on in front of him. Everyone passed by and hurried. I said wait and bypass the pit and go there.
I plucked something that looked like wormwood from the thorn bushes. Looking at the spindle-shaped white fruit in my hand, Zamao Xiaodao said doubtfully, "Could this be wormwood?"
I said yes, but I still had to ask Wan Sanye to confirm it in person... Hey, where are they? - I looked around, but no one was in sight.
Zamao Xiaodao said that Wan Chaoxin found a rainproof tent at the corner in front. Everyone ran over. If Lao Xiao hadn't been watching you, you would have stayed in the pit and waited to die. After that, he took me to
Running forward, we turned around a wild peach forest and saw a large blue tent on the meadow in front of us. There were many stoves, benches, ropes and other things around it. Mr. Wan San and the shopkeeper were looking around.
I was there, but I didn't see anyone else.
When we approached the meadow, a black figure suddenly ran out of the woods, holding a gun tightly in his hand and yelling at us.
