Chapter 40: Camel Ghost Town Thirteen--Support Long Fei for all
At this moment, I only had one thought in my mind: What a ghost!
I don't know when a trembling hand poked out from the sand behind me. The fingertips had already touched my butt. I reached out to scratch it and immediately touched this hand.
I screamed out loud. I didn't even have time to lift up my pants. I jumped up in embarrassment, turned around and turned the muzzle of the gun. Mustache's reaction was quick. Before I could stand still, he had already stabbed me with the alloy pipe.
Under the dim light, the alloy tube in Mustache's hand looked like a poisonous snake, with the blade flashing a little cold light, like lightning. As soon as I panicked, I tightened my finger on the trigger and fired a shot.
"Well......"
At the same time as the gunshot sounded, the alloy tube in Mustache's hand had almost pierced into the sand. At this moment, we both heard a muffled sound coming from the sand. The sound was a bit inhuman and very hoarse.
, just like you are holding your breath after your vocal cords are torn.
If I were alone, I might have been frightened to the point of collapse by the sound. But with Mustache around, I felt much safer.
But I don’t know why, but this sound always makes me feel a little familiar. I hesitated, and the hand that pulled the trigger relaxed slightly. The alloy tube in the mustache’s hand also stopped on the surface of the sand like a sudden brake. The two of us
One person held a gun and the other held an alloy pipe. They pointed it at the sand in front of them, then turned on the flashlight and shined it.
The smooth sand surface was undulating slightly, as if a beating heart was buried there. The pale hand couldn't help trembling, and then, I saw a head slowly arching out of the sand.
My heart clenched again, and I couldn't help but want to close my eyes and use a gun to blow the opponent to pieces first. But Mustache was very calm. He held the pipe and pointed the sharp edge at the opponent, and he had mastered it.
took most of the initiative.
"Well......"
That kind of inhuman voice came out one after another, but at this time, Mustache and I both understood that this voice was made by people arching out of the sand. My hand holding the gun was full of sweat, but there was no trace of it.
Don't dare to relax.
The man under the sand was arching slowly and tenaciously, and soon his whole head was exposed. He looked at us, stretched out his hand eagerly, and the voice in his throat became duller and hoarse.
"Old Gong!"
I was shocked at the time, quickly put away the gun, and rushed over. The mustache also slowly retracted the alloy tube, and I completely pulled Old Gong out of the sand. He seemed to be unable to speak and looked very weak. There was a bruise on his head.
A few wounds, but not serious.
To be honest, I was very excited. Although I was not familiar with Lao Gong, I felt an indescribable relief after being separated and meeting again in such a situation. I immediately pulled out some first aid I carried with me.
I used medicine to disinfect and treat Lao Gong's wounds, but my hands were very clumsy, so Xiao Hu came over to help, and his wounds were quickly temporarily healed.
"Old Gong, what's going on? Why are you here?"
"Don't talk about this now. You fired a shot, which is equivalent to exposing our hiding place." Mustache picked up Lao Gong and left: "Leave here first, and then change places."
The two of us took Lao Gong around for a while and stopped in another tomb filled with sand. Mustache moved quickly and did some tricks at the two doors here, placing two small holes in the sand.
There was a pit, and two daggers were inserted upside down.
Lao Gong's condition was pretty good, at least he wouldn't lose his life. He couldn't speak anymore. After the wound was healed, he drank some water, then wrote and gestured about his experience.
At that time, we were walking in two directions in the tomb passage, and phosphorus fire fell from the sky. Old Gong had no time to join us. He was also very smart, turned around and rushed to the door behind him. However, his movements were a little slow, and he inhaled a trace of white smoke. This
It was really scary to grow cigarettes. Old Gong's voice was hoarse at that time, and the smoke was pouring down the passage, making it impossible to turn around and run back. He was forced to rush deeper into the corridor just like us.
What happened next was similar to what we experienced. He also encountered a tomb filled with boxes and two doors. He walked for a long time and felt that he couldn't get out of the door on the right, so he turned to the left door.
In this way, he also encountered a quicksand pit. Lao Gong's skills were not bad, and there was a problem with the mechanism. He did not fall into it, but he was hit in the chest by a stone that jumped out of the sand pit, and he almost vomited blood at that time.
When he said this, Lao Gong became a little nervous and wrote on the sand: There is someone here!
He also encountered a sneak attacker. He was hit by a rock and suffered almost internal injuries. Lao Gong suffered a big loss invisibly. He only managed to escape due to the complicated terrain. After he escaped, he felt a little unable to hold on and was afraid of being hit again.
The man discovered that he had dug sand in the corner of the tomb and hid it, but he didn't expect that he would no longer be a home as soon as he lay down, and he felt dizzy.
I began to wonder if I should take the opportunity to persuade Xiaozhu to go back. The situation was complicated, and there might be problems in the pit and on the ground. After finding Lao Gong, I felt relieved and could no longer take risks.
I expressed my thoughts, but Mustache’s stubbornness was beyond my expectation. It was at this moment that I truly understood the true meaning of those four words that people used to say: Eat with your head up, in order to get the goods.
, you can really fight with your life, no matter how difficult and dangerous the situation is, you will never give up halfway.
I also can’t understand what Mustache is thinking. Is this persistence? Or is it a mistake?
But in this place, Mustache's words cannot be violated, so Lao Gong and I stopped talking. We rested for a long time, and Lao Gong recovered a little. I handed him the gun, and Lao Gong shook his head with a wry smile and said
I gestured and said that he was injured and his legs and feet were inconvenient. If something happened again, it would hold us back.
He was very resolute and refused to take the gun. He glanced at me with a mustache, held the alloy tube and walked forward slowly. To be honest, at this moment, the impression of this man in my heart became more complicated. I felt that he and
Some of the ruthless things the old man said in the past are very similar. You have courage and ability, but you can sacrifice everything to achieve your goals.
These connected tombs are also very confusing. Mustache began to mark each one, but it was not bad. We did not go back to the old road, which shows that we are walking on a new road step by step.
Mustache opened the way, and I helped Lao Gong walk behind. The situation did not improve much. We were still moving forward in the connected tombs, and we didn’t know when the end would be. I kept muttering in my heart, since I just came down
The robbery hole we saw at that time clearly illustrates the problem. The hole has been stepped on, and it is unknown whether the things are still there. It is very likely that what we are doing now is useless, and we have to deal with the dangers that may appear at any time.
The attacker.
About twenty minutes later, Mustache, who was exploring the way in front, suddenly stopped. I thought I had encountered another accident, so I immediately grabbed the gun and dragged Lao Gong behind me. But Mustache didn't make much movement.
Just standing there quietly, I looked behind him with the light beam of the flashlight, and my nerves became tense.
The messy tomb seemed to have come to an end, and what came into view was a large octagonal tomb. This was probably the main tomb of the pit, because there were two coffins placed side by side, which looked very eye-catching in the empty tomb.
"Is this the main tomb?" I couldn't help but turn around and ask Lao Gong. Judging from the previous encounters, it seemed impossible to find this place so easily.
But thinking about it again, this road is actually very uneventful. One is a cycle of walking around and going in circles, and the other is a quicksand pit more than ten meters deep. The structure of the mechanism is very large. If it hadn't been too long, the central
If something went wrong, the entire tomb would collapse, and the sand would come up, making it impossible for even Mustache to survive.
Mustache stood there for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. Neither Lao Gong nor I dared to rush him. A few minutes later, I saw his upright body swaying slightly, and the alloy tube in his hand also shook.
.
"People have really entered here!" Mustache turned sideways to give us a little space, then pointed to the front and said: "The coffin has been opened."
I couldn't see clearly at first, but when Mustache said it, I felt that the two coffins had really been opened, and even the coffin lids had not been closed.
Immediately afterwards, Mustache moved the flashlight intentionally. Following the light beam, Lao Gong and I both saw two dark shadows about three or four meters away from the coffin.
Mustache said nothing more and walked over. I picked up the gun and followed Lao Gong. As the distance got closer, the two shadows next to the coffin became clearer and clearer.
They were two skeletons. The original luster of the bones had disappeared, giving them a dark and lifeless aura.
Lao Gong couldn't help but shake his head. I also felt that we were really late. The scene in front of us said everything. The people who dug the hole in Sanhetu looted the place, and even the tomb owner was dragged out of the coffin.
But this scene is very strange, because these two skeletons are very complete. Hundreds of years have passed from the Mongolian attack on Xixia to the destruction of Bantu to the present. The remains of the tomb owner must have been in a state of decay, and they were dragged out of the coffin.
, how could it still be so complete?
The two skeletons were less than two meters apart, and their age, gender and appearance could no longer be distinguished. There were only four empty eye sockets, which were so deep that even a flashlight beam could not shine through.
My psychological quality is still a bit inferior, and I don't want to stare at these things. But when I was about to look away, I immediately discovered something strange. Neither of the two skeletons had left hands.
And as I looked further, I found that the bone stubble at the fracture of their left arms was very flat, and it was obvious that they had been chopped off with several knives.
In other words, someone took away their left hands.
