The fire gradually dwindled down, and Chen Jiansheng kicked two dry logs over, causing the fire to rekindle.
"Yunfeng, go and take off your hat," Sister Hong told me, and she handed over the dagger.
"good....."
I held the dagger in both hands and cautiously approached it step by step.
Taking a deep breath, I kicked off the big brimmed hat covering the thing's head.
Under the hat, there is actually a monkey face!
no no.
To be precise, I can't say it's a monkey face, I can only say it looks like a monkey face.
The few of us looked at each other with surprised expressions on our faces.
This thing has a long and pointed face, a protruding nose, bright red hair on both sides of its mouth, a layer of white hair on its forehead, small eyes, and a very weird look.
Now, with its eyes closed and its mouth half open, this thing is dead.
"Huh? Is this thing that thing?" Chen Jiansheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Sister Hong.
Sister Hong looked at it carefully, frowned and said, "I'm not sure, I haven't seen it before."
Seeing them doing charades, I got a little anxious, so I asked Sister Hong if she knew anything.
Sister Hong told me that this thing might be the mandrill in folklore, which is a wild monster called a mountain spirit.
Regarding this thing, Sister Hong told me some things she knew one after another.
In the past, in the deep mountains and old forests of private areas, if you asked experienced hunters what was the most powerful thing in the mountains and what was the most evil thing, other than tigers and leopards, many old hunters would give almost the same answer.
Mandrill.
In some places, this thing is also called a mountain ghost or a mountain god. There are male and female mandrills. The male mandrill likes to eat people, be sexually obscene, and like to rape and rape human women. The female mandrill likes to tease people and dress up like human children.
Sneak into the crowd and play games with the children. If you get too excited about the game, you will abduct the children.
This thing is a little over one meter tall, and likes to cover itself with a big hat. From a distance, it looks like a child. Also, about the mandrill's hat, some older people have said that the hat worn by the mandrill can make it invisible.
When people wear it, they can hide their appearance so that others cannot see it.
Of course, the idea that a mandrill hat can make you invisible is nonsense. I dare to say this because I tried it.
In front of Sister Hong and Chen Jiansheng, I bravely picked up the hat and tried to wear it.
The hat smelled bad, so I put it on and asked: "Sister Hong, Chen Tugong, am I invisible now? Can you see me?"
Chen Jiansheng looked at me with drooped eyelids and said, "Yes, you are invisible. You can wear this hat to rob banks in the future. Make sure no one sees you. Also, when you go to the women's bathhouse, the cameras will watch you."
Not to you."
I curled my lips and threw away my old hat. How could I not hear the ridicule in his words.
As for where this hat came from, we don’t know, but when we were rummaging through the clothes on the mandrill, Chen Jiansheng suddenly recognized it.
Because this dress was worn inside out.
Chen Jiansheng took out a plastic bag from the lining pocket of his clothes, opened the plastic bag, and found a lighter and half a box of Five Golden Flower cigarettes inside.
His face was ashen and he kicked the corpse five or six times in succession.
"Damn it! This beast! These clothes belong to someone in our team! This beast took them off and put them on himself!" After saying this, he became angry again and kicked him several times.
"Okay, he's already dead, why are you so crazy?" Sister Hong shook her head and said, "Look for something else and see if the thing you mentioned is hidden on her."
I also helped and looked through it several times, but I couldn't find the sapphire ritual vessel that Chen Jiansheng mentioned.
Suddenly, Chen Jiansheng clapped his hands, which shocked me.
Sister Hong frowned and asked her what she wanted to do.
He held the cigarette case, pointed to the sky, and suddenly said excitedly: "What happened to my brother up there, I saw it with my own eyes! This beast took off his clothes and put them on himself, and then came to the tomb owner's house again."
Back Garden, Chen Login, tell me, what does this mean?"
Sister Hong thought for a while and said in deep thought: "There is a way."
"That's right!" Chen Jiansheng first pointed to the sky and then to the ground, "Yes, there must be a passage above and below. As long as we find this road, we can go up!"
I am also very excited, because if what Chen Jiansheng said is true, then we can leave here, go up, and find the eldest brother and the third brother.
But the question at hand is, where is the road that the mandrill comes down from?
Some things have now begun to take shape.
The underground space with lush vegetation in the mountain crevice in front of you may be the private back garden of the tomb owner. If the tomb owner is a mustard, with the appeal of the princes and kings, it may be possible to find so many precious flowers and trees and plant them.
Go to the back garden you built so that you can enjoy it after you die.
This method is actually similar to the mercury in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor as the sea and the night pearls as the sun, moon and stars.
The slight difference between the two is that Sima Qian clearly recorded it in the historical records about the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in Lishan, while Jihou was not mentioned at all in the unofficial official history.
Regarding how to find this way up, Sister Hong thought of a way.
Although mandrills are evil, they still retain some of the habits of monkeys. Sister Hong speculates that they live in groups.
There is one missing member of the mandrill tribe. Will these things send people to look for him?
In fact, it can't be considered a plan. Chen Jiansheng has been trapped here for half a year. Once a person is forced to have no choice, he is willing to try any possible method.
We lifted the dead mandrill up and leaned it against a tree, then put a hat on it and dressed it in clothes.
Then, we retreated a hundred meters, hid behind a big tree, and secretly looked at the disturbance here.
After our careful arrangement, not to mention, from a distance, the mandrill did not look dead, but seemed to be resting against the tree trunk.
After waiting for more than an hour, we got what we wanted.
I was dozing off, and Sister Hong patted me and signaled me to stop sleeping. If something happened, I should take a look quickly.
Hiding behind a tree, I only took a glance.
I was scared.
I don't know what happened at that time, but it suddenly became foggy here.
About three to four hundred meters ahead, in the hazy white mist, many small black figures vaguely appeared. Their faces could not be seen clearly, and they could only see many hats.
There are about a dozen of them, and the clothes on these things are different, some are black and some are white, and I don’t know where they came from. These things imitate the walking of people, twisting and turning.
This scene.
The white mist is light, a bit like the ghosts walking at night in old Hong Kong movies.
I swallowed several times and my heart was in my throat.
Soon, these things found their dead accomplices.
They circled around, looked at each other, and squeaked like mice.
After a while, these things seemed to have reached some kind of consensus. In groups of four, they directly lifted up the dead one and started to twist and leave.
"Follow me," Chen Jiansheng took the lead and walked out in a cat-walk.
The distance was always more than 100 meters, and the geographical environment was favorable, with flowers, plants and trees everywhere. As soon as we noticed something was wrong in front of us, we immediately hid in the grass nearby.
As we walked and stopped, those things looked back from time to time. It was very dangerous, and we were almost discovered several times.
I don’t know how long we walked, and after walking around and around, following these things, we came to the outside of a very hidden small cave.
There are overgrown weeds outside this small cave, and the entrance is well hidden. If we hadn't watched these things go in one by one, we wouldn't have discovered it.
Watching these short men get in one by one, I lowered my voice and said, "Chen Tugong, you have been here for a long time. Have you discovered this place before?"
Chen Jiansheng was hiding in the grass. After hearing this, he stuck his head out and took a closer look.
"It's like a mouse hole, and it's covered with grass."
