Vermillion mole

"On the stone beach, the bosses couldn't lie down in their sleeping bags, so they built shacks. The ducks were raised for food, and it was too troublesome to bring them in one by one. Each household caught more than a dozen and raised them in the lake first. Come on, ducks can’t run away from the lake anyway.” Agui said, “In a few days, I’ll have to get some reclining chairs from outside, what day and bath does the boss want?”

"Sunbathing." Xie Yuchen said from behind, and patted Wu Xie, "People in this line of work are naturally fond of carpe bliss."

Ah Miao looked at two foreigners, a man and a woman, who were kissing on a big rock by the lake beach, and covered her eyes sadly: "Spicy eyes."

When they walked into their campsite, everyone had an expression of indifference.Pan Zi passed by a place where beer crates were piled up, and dumped a few cans to Wu Xie and the others, but no one protested.

"It seems that he regards us as his own." Pan Zi said, "Jude is not reliable in testing his mother, not even a sentry."

"It's not that there is no such thing, he is a man of high art and boldness." Xie Yuchen took a sip of beer, looked at a place and pointed.A tree in the woods outside the rocky beach had a little spark, as if someone was smoking on it.

"Only one?" Wu Xie asked

"Just one." Xie Yuchen said, "I guess I have a guy in my hand, with good eyes."

"Let's stay away from them." Pan Zi said, "It's smoky and full of people." He pointed to the other side of the lake, where it was pitch black.

Before leaving, Ah Miao picked up a stone and bounced it towards the person in the tree over there.I just heard an ouch over there, and fell under the tree.

Xie Yuchen slapped Ah Miao on the back of his head: "Don't make trouble!"

Ah Miao curled her lips and stopped making trouble.Walking over, everyone was extremely exhausted, and they put down their luggage and lay down on the ground. Pan Zi kicked them all the way to get them up to chop firewood.

Wu Xie and Xiuxiu first went to the lake on a raft, and soon came to the center of the lake on a raft, and Xiuxiu went down the lake first with a safety rope tied.

In the distance, there are several kayaks of Judekao. The side of the shore is brightly lit, and various strange sounds can be heard, just like Pattaya in Thailand.Those noisy mundane sounds, filtered by the wind and water surface, sounded in the center of the lake far away, but there is a sense of tranquility in the floating world.

It is drizzling in the sky, under the dim yellow wind lamp, you can see the rain like ox hair. The lake water illuminated by the wind lamp is dark black with shallow waves, and the hull of the boat is shaking gently in the waves. Looking from a distance, Like a solitary lamp floating on water.

The next day, Wu Xie took Xie Yuchen, Ah Miao and Pan Zi to find the place where he was rescued by Wu Erbai.

Wu Erbai's people have all withdrawn. Wu Xie opened the camouflage and looked, but found a very small slit, which can only be passed through with one hand. Although the inside is bottomless, it is absolutely impossible for a person to pass through. .

Xie Yuchen made a gesture, then laughed, and asked Wu Xie, "You used to be a cockroach?"

"This joke is not funny at all." After Wu Xie peeled off all the disguises, I found that there were no other gaps.

"What's going on?" Wu Xie muttered to himself, "The crack on this mountain has healed?"

"It's possible, but it's unlikely." Xie Yuchen said, "Maybe it's the thing in the rock formation you mentioned that is playing tricks." He grabbed a handful of gravel at the edge of the gap and smelled it, but he didn't seem to have a clue.

Then he took out the style mine, compared the mountain situation, and said: "Never mind, this place is completely different from the population marked by the style mine. It seems that the situation in this mountain is very complicated. It is likely that all the cracks here are It’s okay.” He pointed to the place on the other side of the lake facing the mountain, “The entrance to the main entrance should be over there—I rely on you!”

Ah Miao subconsciously protected Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen behind her, and looked down, only to see that in the crack of the rock where Yuchen's flashlight was shining, there was one eye staring intently.

The blood-stained hand stretched out from the gap holding a dagger. Ah Miao glanced at the dagger over there, and immediately recognized it as a cinnabar dagger.

Ah Miao stepped forward to take the dagger, and began to cut down the surrounding stone walls, and the opening of the crack soon became bigger.Just as Ah Miao was about to go up and drag him out, he was swept away by an unpleasant smell.

When Xie Yuchen saw this, he ordered someone to drag the fat man out. He was covered in dark green sludge, his eyes were wide open, as if he was dead, and a few people hurriedly carried him to the edge of the lake where the air was well ventilated. place.The fat man was extremely heavy, and several times a few weaker people couldn't catch him, causing him to fall to the ground, which made people worry.

We dragged it all the way to the lake and turned on the gas lights before we could fully see the fat man's distressed appearance.The fat man is not good-looking in itself, and the most serious appearance is already very sloppy, but now it seems that he is like a rice dumpling just dug out of the coffin, the clothes on his body are rotten to pieces, and his body is covered with green sludge , Xie Yuchen brought water from the lake to wash him over, and the exposed skin was covered with sores the size of eggs.

"Damn it, it's a sick pig." A guy whispered.

"Is he dead? Why doesn't he move?" Someone slapped the fat man on the face, but Wu Xie held him back. At this time, Xie Yuchen called someone who could see a doctor to come over and examine the fat man.

The dumb sister came over, she took a look at Wu Xie, tied up her hair, and leaned over to check with the fat man.

Ah Miao walked aside and took out her mobile phone to report to Zhu Sha, and walked back after talking about the situation here.I saw countless deep marks of blood on the fat man's belly.

Ah Miao took a photo of the fat man's belly and sent it to Zhu Sha, asking what it was.Zhu Sha only replied two words, map.

Ah Miao let out a cry, found a piece of paper and a pen and began to copy.Xie Yuchen walked aside and glanced at the chat records that hadn't been blacked out, and understood what was going on, and stood beside Ah Miao watching without saying a word.

It took half an hour to sort it out, and after handing the map to Xie Yuchen, he said: "This fat man took it as a map and reported it. If their information is not wrong, then this map is fine."

Xie Yuchen nodded and went to the side to talk to Wu Xie. The dumb sister who was helping the fat man checked did not know where the fat man was. Suddenly, the fat man grabbed her hand. She was startled and shocked. called out.

The fat man obviously exerted great strength, and she couldn't break free, so she heard the fat man almost twitching and started talking nonsense.

His pronunciation was already extremely vague.Ah Miao went up to hold his hand, pulled his hand away from the dumb sister's wrist, and leaned over to listen to him.

"They are alive, follow the pictures to save people!"

"What did he say?" Xie Yuchen asked with a medical bag.

Ah Miao said: "They may save people according to the plan."

The fat man kept talking, and his whole body entered a state of paralysis. Wu Xie had no choice but to bend down and whisper into the fat man's ear, "I'm naive, I heard it."

The dumb sister checked for a long time, but couldn't find out what was wrong with the fat man.All the physical signs of the fat man are normal, except for the scratches he made on his body, there are only some abrasions and travel injuries, and he is very arrogant.In Pan Zi's words, getting himself and his concubine out of bed was much more serious than this.

But the fat man just didn't wake up, his eyes were wide open, as if he was dying, no matter how people beat him, it was useless, and he didn't respond at all.It took a lot of effort to close the fat man's eyes.

Xie Yuchen also knows a little about medicine, and discussed some possibilities with the dumb sister, but they were all rejected. "That's just the case in a vegetable." The dumb sister said, "We don't have any equipment now, so we can't test whether he has brain damage. But he seems to be in a vegetative state now.

Xie Yuchen looked at Ah Miao: "Do you know medical skills?"

Ah Miao shook her head: "I won't, but seeing him like this is just a long-term tense state without rest, just let him sleep for a day."

Just as he was talking, the fat man on one side suddenly turned over, smacked his lips, scratched his crotch and buttocks, and murmured, "Xiao Cui, what are you hiding from?"

Everyone was stunned for a second, and then laughed out loud, the fat man was still having a dream.The dumb sister stayed to take care of the fat man. Wu Xie and Pan Zi walked out of the tent and immediately went to Xie Yuchen to discuss countermeasures.Xie Yuchen was explaining something to the others, and Wu Xie asked him and Pan Zi to go to his tent. As soon as they entered the tent, Wu Xie couldn't hide his emotions, and said to them: "We must go down now!"

"Don't worry." Xie Yuchen said, "The more this is the case, the more anxious you will be. You must analyze the situation thoroughly before you can decide what to do."

"How long will it take?" Wu Xie asked. "Why don't we discuss it while we go down?"

Xie Yuchen pressed Wu Xie's shoulder, pointed to the outside of the tent, and said softly: "I know you are in a hurry. But we need time to prepare things."

Pan Zi said: "Little Third Master, we are going down to save people, we must be prepared properly, otherwise not only will we not be able to save them, but we may also be caught by ourselves."

"They are right, even Zhang Qiling can be folded in it, let alone you and that group of mobs?" Ah Miao said.

"Isn't there still you?"

Ah Miao shook her head: "Don't count on me, when I get there, I'm not as good as Master Hua."

Wu Xie could only sit down anxiously.Xie Yuchen pointed outside: "Let's go out to do business. For this group of new guys, if we do business in the tent, they will be suspicious."

Xie Yuchen called the others over, and spread out all the road maps on the bellies of Xiang Lei and Fatty on the tarpaulin.It can be seen from the comparison of the route circumferences on Style Lei and Fatty's stomach that the two have absolutely nothing in common.According to the route on Fatty’s route map, it can be inferred that there is a very complicated system of natural cracks in the rock formations of this mountain, like a spider’s web, and one of them seems to lead to the area where Zhang Qiling and the others are located. In other words, these cracks are in the rocks of the mountain, and they are connected with the route marked by Shi Lei.

Xie Yuchen said: "There are a few points that must be considered. For example, how many days has the fat man been idle in that gap? It seems that he may have been idle for a few days. Maybe when he was idled just now, The people below are still alive, but they are dead now. He was in a state of confusion when he was first rescued, let us rescue it, but it may be too late."

"If Fatty doesn't wake up and tell us himself, our consideration is meaningless." Wu Xie said.

"Yes, no matter what, we have to treat everything as if the people below are still alive." Pan Zi said, "It's best if he can wake up, but if he can't wake up, we still have to go down. We must see people in life, and we must see corpses in death."

Wu Xie said: "But we can't wait indefinitely. You should prepare now. After five hours, I will wake him up. After asking the news, we will start immediately. If we can't find out, we must also set off."

Pan Zi and Xie Yuchen glanced at each other, obviously hesitant, Wu Xie said, "We can't waste the information Fatty brought us."

Pan Zi lit a cigarette, nodded, and said to the guys around him, "Okay, everything is up to the third master. You should prepare separately, and it will take five hours."

The little ghosts were very excited and nodded immediately, and Xiao Hua led them away separately.Pan Zi glanced at me again, as if he was about to say something.

"What's wrong?" Wu Xie asked.

Pan Zi said softly: "Little Third Master, these children are born in hardships. When we consider things, we must give them some leeway. They are not cannon fodder, they are all human lives."

Wu Xie looked at Pan Zi, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and he didn't react for a while.Pan Zi handed Wu Xie a cigarette: "Five hours later, Master Huaer and I will take half of the people down, leaving Xiuxiu and the purse on top. If something happens to us, at least we have another chance." Wu Xie nodded, and immediately I wanted to go back to pack my equipment first, but Pan Zi grabbed me and said, "You can't go down later."

"Why?" Wu Xie became impatient, "I'd rather go down if you want me to wait up there. Otherwise, I'll go down with you, and Xie Yuchen will stay up there."

"We have no other way, this is a necessary measure." Pan Zi pointed to Wu Xie's face, "You are the third master now, there is hope if you are here, if something happens to you, it will really be over. If the third master They are all dead, you say who will care about us here."

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, "Little Third Master, since you have chosen this path, let's go well."

Pan Zi leaned over and said softly. He lit a cigarette for me, then stood up and yelled at the others: "The third master said hurry up, don't dawdle, do you want to make a fortune! I'm not ready in five hours, Just stay on it and drink the northwest wind!"

The leather bag is really a kid, he is too young, and when others are preparing, he is playing in the water by the lake.Pan Zi said: "Everyone in this line of work has them. He doesn't need to put down his own equipment, so naturally he doesn't need to tidy up. And this line of people. Those who are arrogant must have unique skills, because those who don't have unique skills will basically die once they are arrogant."

Xie Yuchen's things are obviously organized very well, and he has been researching "belly route".Ah Miao walked up to Xie Yuchen quietly and said, "If something happens after you go down, you must crush your necklace."

Xie Yuchen nodded: "Understood."

Soon, Xie Yuchen began to mobilize, and Ah Miao saw him clapping his hands to gather the people who were about to go to the ground.

In the process of clamping lamas, all the most heart-wrenching information will be revealed to the lamas before they go to the ground. Iron chopsticks use this method to prevent black people from eating black people. Or afraid that the lamas will leak the secret to others,

Xie Yuchen is a person with a great talent for acting. He still doesn't have Wu Xie's troubles. As early as when Wu Xie was still enjoying a simple life, he was used to the things Wu Xie was struggling with just now.Ah Miao watched Xie Yuchen chatting with those people. It was as relaxed as a lecture before a performance, a little sour.

When Ah Miao walked to Xie Yuchen's side, he shook his head and said, "There is not much benefit. If there is only one benefit, but if that is the case, we have to work hard." He frowned and turned The head asked me, "Third Lord, brothers, is it too late to quit now?"

Pan Zi said: "Master Hua, what is the end of your joke? Is the first half a joke? Brothers are here to get rich, you can't scare us."

Everyone laughed loudly. At this moment, the leather bag came over from the lake and said to us: "Masters, when I was floating just now, I was thinking about one thing. , You have to consider the question I'm pondering, because your speculation may be wrong."

They were all stunned for a moment, and Xie Yuchen asked: "Oh, you are indeed a master, what did you think of?" The leather bag spread out his hands, which were full of small stones for floating.

Still want to go back and fight.

"You pointed out that the Zhang family has the habit of mass burials. The ancient tombs are not closed, but open. After death, descendants can enter the ancient tomb for burial many times, right?"

We nodded. He said: "Let's assume that the Zhang family's ancient building is in the mountain. Their ancient tombs are used many times, and the dead of the family will be buried in the ancient tombs. Think about it. This is actually quite a waste of money. You carry a coffin all the way, and come in from the mountain road, once or twice is okay, but in the past thousand years, the Zhang family will not only die one or two people, right? For such a big family, there must be a dozen or so deaths. If mysterious strangers always appear in the village every now and then, there must be some legends left in the village. But in Banai Village outside, we haven’t heard any legends, which is a bit unreasonable, don’t you think Is it strange?"

"You mean to say that the Zhang family's ancient building is an open ancient tomb, and the speculation about the burial of the dead is wrong?" a fellow asked.

"No, we have clearly seen evidence of open ancient tombs in Sichuan. Such a sophisticated design must not be a joke. Therefore, the open ancient tomb must be right." Xie Yuchen said

"I'm not saying the bosses are wrong, I'm saying it's weird."

"Actually, that may not be the case." Xie Yuchen said, "Maybe there are some legends in history. But they haven't survived. Because the place where this village is located was not a peaceful place in history. Wars have always happened here. people, who may have been massacred, died out, and then were repopulated by people from other places."

"Even so, this village hasn't been massacred in a hundred years. From Agui's generation to the present, at least four generations. During this period. Logically, there should be some members of the Zhang family who were buried in the village."

"The Zhang family lives a long life. If there are no accidents, each of them will have a life span of at least 200 years." Ah Miao said from the side, "What's more, it's not that we haven't heard any legends. Banai still has legends. And recently It’s a legend that’s very recent, and you’ve been discussing it.”

"The archaeological team with the iron block is a 'legend'. We preconceived him as an archaeological team. We always thought that if the archaeological team had to dig something out. But... maybe they came here, not at all. What are you going to dig out?"

Xie Yuchen nodded: "They are attending a funeral."

"But Huo Ling is also among them." Wu Xie said, "Could it be that she is from the Zhang family?"

"But... what if this group of people were dropped?" Everyone was silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ah Miao stopped talking. Wu Xie suppressed the surprise in his heart, shook his head and asked Xie Yuchen, "Zhang is the most common surname in the world. Could it be Master Zhang?"

"You can't use this as an inference. In that era. It was too easy to change names. Everyone in the Old Nine Sect had at least a dozen aliases. The last names of their group were almost not their original names." Xie Yuchen said, " In addition, there is also a very high possibility that the dove occupies the dove's nest. The owner who was sent in may not be a descendant of the Zhang family. Maybe the ancient building of the Zhang family has some strange functions that we don't know, so they Send the body in."
