Chapter 5 Dongshan Ancient Tomb
The extracurricular books I like to read when I was studying were ancient unofficial historical classics, so I immediately determined that this place was not an abandoned warehouse at all, and it was clearly a tomb!
The tomb is about half the size of a basketball court, square and about three meters high. The torches can barely reach the end. The northeast corner has slightly collapsed, and a pile of gray square bricks are scattered uncensored. The entire tomb is cold and dry, with a faint smell of fishy smell.
It was not the first time I had come into contact with a grave on the books and TV. However, when I first came into contact with a real grave, the feeling was shocking. The fear that arose in my heart made me feel chilled all over and my hands and feet trembled involuntarily.
"Old cow, give me a cigarette." I tried to calm myself out of my shock.
King Kong Pao trembled and took out the cigarette box and handed it over. I looked at it and saw that only one was left. He took it out and took a deep breath, "Don't be afraid, let's take a look."
"You are afraid. Isn't it good to touch something that kills people?" He was very disgusted with me saying that he was afraid and pretended to be brave.
"I didn't say I wanted something moving, I just wanted to see it," I shook my head and said, "Besides, according to where we are now, your shit is pulled on someone's grave."
The King Kong Cannon stopped saying a word. We held the torch and walked in step by step, for fear that some legendary mechanism would be ambushed. Later, we felt that every step was in the realm, and we gradually felt relieved.
"There is a coffin." The King Kong Cannon pointed to the large coffin placed north and south on the stone platform in the middle of the tomb.
"I've seen it a long time ago, don't touch it, see if there is something else." I nodded and said.
I held the torch in my hand and walked towards the north side of the tomb, where there was a table with an altar vague appearance. The King Kong Cannon still told me that he was afraid and resentful, so he didn't follow him like anger, and headed towards the pile of scattered blue bricks in the northeast corner.
I walked up to the table that looked like an altar with a torch in hand and found that it was an ancient table. It was similar to today's table. It was nearly half short, and the four corners were slightly raised upwards, with wave-shaped decorations.
There was thick dust falling on the table, and there was insufficient light, so there was no material. There were two flat round bowls on the table, similar to the bowl used by monks when begging for alms. There seemed to be granular things inside.
In addition, there was a thin stack of paper on the table, which should be books, and the size was much narrower than the 32-open paper we have now. I put out the cigarettes and reached out to pick them up. I didn't know what year or month it was. It became crispy in my hand and the paper foam fell a lot. I was secretly regretting, but I heard the voice of King Kong Cannon, "Old Yu, someone has come here, come and see."
I stuffed the ancient book into my backpack and ran over. I saw the King Kong Cannon holding a white woven bag and shouting at me, "Old Yu, don't read it anymore, someone has stolen it here, you see there is a hole here."
I looked down and found that there was indeed a hole on the ground of the tomb chamber. The diameter was about as thick as the small water tank we usually had. The edges did not have messy edges, but instead looked very smooth.
"They must have dug a lot of good things and put them in bags." King Kong Cannon was carrying the white woven bag
I reached out to take the bag from the King Kong gun's hand, approached the torch and took a closer look. My hair was standing up all over my body, my heart suddenly contracted, and I instantly felt cold sweat. This was not a bag, it was clearly a white and green snake skin.
"Snake skin, this is the skin of a big snake." I threw away the huge snake skin in my hand in horror and shouted at the King Kong Cannon.
"Ah~?" King Kong Pao screamed and turned the rifle from behind to his hand, his face suddenly faded.
At this moment, a sharp hissing sound came from the collapsed hole, and then a pungent smell of fish surged up from the hole under our feet.
The snakeskin alone scared us half to death. It would be great if the main person came back. At the critical moment, the training we received played a role.
"Open your mouth!" King Kong Cannon quickly stuffed his torch to me, and turned the gun toward the hole with a shot.
"Boom!" Although the huge gunshot made me feel bloody in my mind, I still grabbed the ejected shell with the fire emitted from the muzzle like a conditioned reflex.
"You go first," "I go first," we both shouted at the same time. This is not because I am afraid of death and run first, but because the troops stipulated during training: when there is an emergency, let the comrades without weapons retreat first.
I ran to the gap between us and jumped down, and grabbed the machetes we left in the cave, and then the King Kong cannon fell from above like a squin cannon.
When the two saw that the other party was fine, they ran away as quickly as possible. As fast as possible, the potential of a person's life is threatened, I have never seen the King Kong Cannon run so fast.
It was not until we ran out for several miles in one breath that we dared to look back. Seeing that the thing was not coming, the two of us breathed a little relieved. We took a few quick breaths, got up and continued running, and ran to the asphalt road at the starting point of the power grid. The two of us suddenly fell into slump.
I trembled and took out the half cigarette I hadn't finished smoking from my pocket, took out the lighter and lit it, took a few puffs and handed it to the King Kong Cannon. The King Kong Cannon took it and took it to me again...
"Old Yu, have you ever seen such a big worm?" He slowly came back to his senses and the King Kong Cannon opened his mouth first. Although we were scared to death before we even saw the face of the main man, the big hole on the ground and the fallen snake skin indirectly proved to us that the guy was not an ordinary big one.
"No, I have never seen it. The thickest one I have ever seen is just the size of a bowl." I shook my head and replied.
"Why did that thing grow so big? What are you doing in the grave?" King Kong Pao turned around and looked at me.
"I don't know." I shook my head and reached out to hand him the empty shell shell. The army has regulations. Whether it is live or empty shell, as long as it is fired, the shell must be recycled and the purpose is explained. The head of the King Kong Cannon 81 rifle is an empty shell. Although it is an empty shell, it still has lethality within 5 meters. If the shell can't be taken back, I have to bear the punishment when I go back. The reason why I can easily catch the shell that pops up is also thanks to the black-faced instructors. In order to train our reaction speed, there is one of the training subjects: when the comrades shoot, they catch the shell that pops up from the gun chamber from the side.
In addition, the moment when the King Kong cannon fired, I opened my mouth because the sound was loud when the bullet was fired. The environment just now was almost closed, and not opening my mouth to relieve stress would easily damage my eardrums.
"I fired a bullet. How do you explain it when I go back? I want to tell you who will believe me if I use it to kill the worm?" After calming down, King Kong Cannon finally thought of the problem we face.
"We can't tell the truth. It's not a glorious thing for us to dig other people's graves. Even if we didn't mean it, if the leader finds out, we can't explain it clearly." I shook my head and said.
"What do you think you should do?" King Kong Pao was in trouble.
"Didn't Zhang Guowen, who was in the cooking class, delivering food to the sentry on the mountain last time, saying that he saw a wolf? He was so scared that he even peed in his pants. We also said that he had encountered a wolf." I had an idea.
"I didn't even see what the wolf looked like. They asked me in detail what I said?" King Kongpao looked sad.
"Have you watched TV? Besides, don't you know what the wolf dog in our team is like? It's similar to that." I'm so sorry!
"What if we bite people after we encounter that thing?" King Kong Cannon is not bad in character.
"The possibility is not high. It's probably been there for some time. I haven't seen it do anything bad for such a long time. In addition, it is separated by the power grid, and people from the village outside cannot enter. There are hundreds of abandoned caves in this mountain. Why is it so coincidentally that someone has come to the one we just now?"
The two discussed some details, and they were dumbfounded until dark, and returned to their own team.
Because he was too frightened during the day, he fell asleep after returning to the company. I don’t know what King Kong Pao said after returning. At around 9 o’clock in the evening, the brigade leader drove to our team and looked at all the dogs. Finally, he stopped in front of the "Guorong" kennel of our team leader. He asked about the whereabouts of "Guorong" that day several times, which made our team leader stunned.
I later learned that what impressed King Kong Cannon was the "Guorong" that the team leader brought to the demonstration when we were in the company. When we returned to report, we described the wolf he encountered according to the body characteristics of "Guorong". In the end, we added a sentence of "It's a mother".
This guy observed it very carefully.
