Chapter 4 Cave Boarding
Actually, while listening, I also looked at the surrounding mountains and forests, trying to find the "person" she said.
However, there is no moon outside, and the trees in the forest are covered, which is terribly dark. Occasionally, dark shadows fly quickly from the front of you, all of which are some swallow rats (bats) that haunt at night.
I don't know how long it took, and I finally heard a strange voice: "Hey hey..." My heart shrank and I saw sweat on my forehead, because the sound was too much like human laughter, and it was very regular. Every three laughs were made in groups, once every three minutes.
I said to myself that this is too regular, just like a mechanical signal. If this sound is really emitted by a person, then this person must be abnormal, either epilepsy or Parkinson.
At the thought of a deformed epileptic patient hiding in the woods in the middle of the night and making such a strange sound to us, I felt my scalp numb, so I whispered to Liang Qian, "This...isn't this the cry of some kind of animal?"
She shook her head and said, "I often run in the mountains. I don't know what animals are in the mountains?" This is definitely a human voice. Do you still remember that Dongzi said that the person who squeezed out of the crack in the mountain also laughed like this?
I was cold and whispered, "You mean that guy is still following us?" She nodded, looked at the rope ladder next to her and said, "Fortunately, the ladder was put up, otherwise the thing would have climbed up long ago, and now it is probably wandering underneath."
Although the sound was really frightening, since it couldn't climb up, I was a little relieved and said to her, "Would you like to shoot him away?"
Liang Qian shook her head in a hurry and said to me, "Don't mess with it. The ghosts and gods in this mountain can't be provoked. I hope he can retreat tonight."
After saying this, I'm a little sleepy. Although that thing in the forest is by no means a good thing, it can't pose a direct threat to us.
So he yawned.
But as soon as I looked up, I was stunned, and my whole scalp almost exploded.
I panicked and said to Liang Qian, "Hey... It seems that that thing is not in the forest. You... Look over there!"
She hurriedly looked up along my finger and took a cold breath.
I saw several "people" standing on the top of the mountain opposite! The mountain opposite is shorter than many mountains in the canyon. In the cave where we are located, we can just see the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain about 100 meters above us, there are seven or eight dark shadows standing there.
Although the mountain is relatively low, the slope is extremely steep, and the cliff on our side is almost perpendicular to the ground. I really don't know how these "people" climbed up.
But the most strange thing is not this, but those people stand upright one by one, just like stone carvings, but their eyes are shining green like night owls, staring at the cave where we are.
And the most frightening thing is that these people's necks are not normal. The length of their necks is much longer than that of normal people, and they are very thin, like a grape on a toothpick and may be broken at any time.
Although Liang Qian is an adventurer, she was also scared when she saw this situation: "What...what is this! Why didn't I see this kind of thing when I came to Heizhugou last time..."
"Hey hey..." At this time, the ghostly laughter sounded again. I heard clearly that it came from the top of the opposite mountain, and I was scared to death.
"Quick... wake everyone up." Liang Qian said in a hurry.
I nodded and wanted to wake everyone up, but suddenly there was a crisp and pleasant bell outside.
Then, like a monk chanting a mantra, a person's whisper sounded.
I looked up and saw that the "people" on the top of the mountain seemed to move, slowly turned around and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Although the two of us were shocked, we also looked at each other strangely and felt a little puzzled.
Liang Qian whispered, "Isn't it going to climb over?"
Hearing this, I broke out in a cold sweat and said to myself that the steep slope opposite was climbed up. Isn't it like playing here? We panicked and looked everywhere for something that could block the hole.
But the hole is ten meters wide, and there is nothing you can do except for mud and pebbles.
After being busy for a while, I found that there seemed to be no movement outside.
We returned to the entrance of the cave and looked down the mountain for a long time, and then looked at the top of the mountain. There was really nothing abnormal.
But I don't mean to relax at all. I thought that if the ghost wants to eat people, he may also have to do chest expansion exercises, warm up, and then do eye exercises.
For another two hours, there was no movement outside, and the strange laughter did not sound again. Even the insects did not scream, and it was deserted.
I gradually became confused and said that the monster was weak, and it might take a night or two to do warm-up exercises.
I was half asleep and half woken when I heard the sound of purring and grinding my teeth in my ears, and scolded in my heart, "This group of people really don't know life, especially Nobita sleeping like a pig."
The sun finally rose the next day. Because I slept in the hole, I was the first to feel the hot sun shining on my face.
I opened my eyes slightly and saw that the whole cave was illuminated by the sun. Because the whole wall of the cave was red mineral soil, it looked like Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, emitting hot air.
The soldiers were all woken up by the heat wave, and only Nobita snored like thunder and slept to death.
I kicked his buttocks and said, "Get up!"
The next day, we continued to the west along the river. The mountain road is much more difficult to walk than the first day, and it is full of impenetrable plants.
If Liang Qian didn't have a map in her hand, I guess this group of people would have been lost here.
I suddenly realized that the horror of the black bamboo ditch is not that there are monsters, but these dense plants, coupled with the usual fog, even if there is no fatal animal attack, people will be lost.
We walked about 30 miles, and finally passed through a steep fall canyon and came to a "big" hill.
It is called a big hill because although the mountain is very large and higher than the surrounding mountains, it is not steep at all, but has a circular top.
There are almost no trees in the whole hill, only a few crooked neck trees at the foot of the mountain.
And the whole mountain is red, and there are many equally red rocks covering the hills, which looks like a "grave pile" more than 100 meters high.
I looked up and saw a collapse halfway up the mountain. Although it was not deep, it was very obvious.
Look at the landslide, which is connected by a crooked mountain road, leading to the bottom of the mountain.
And on a meadow at the foot of the mountain, there are about 20 black military tents, and a generator is rumbling to power each tent.
I recognized that it was the tent of the archaeological team, and now it is empty.
Lao Huang ordered the team to rest in place, and then took everyone to the cave of the landslide and began to dig with hoes and shovels.
I dug for about three hours until everyone was exhausted that I dug a small hole that could only be passed through by one person.
Everyone was so tired that they sat on the ground and rested one by one.
After a while of rest, Daxiong volunteered to go first. I think he wants to act in front of Liang Qian, right?
Lao Huang and I both wanted to stop him, but Daxiong had jumped in with a hammer that had just hit the stone, and then heard a sound of water in the hole, followed by Daxiong's scolding: "Damn it! Why is it like a river in here?
Liang Qian has climbed to the edge of the hole and said, "Maybe it was poured in during the landslide?"
I was curious and wanted to climb up, and I heard Daxiong suddenly say, "Damn, there's someone here!" Who is there!"
I saw Liang Qian's face suddenly pale below, and she hurriedly took out the wolf-eye flashlight at her waist and looked inside.
At this time, Nobita said again, "Don't be afraid, we are here to save you!" Liang Qian took a picture for a while and said, "There is something wrong with that person. Don't go there and wait for me to come in."
Nobita ignored her and suddenly said, "Hey! Don't run, stop..."
I heard a sound of water in the cave. It must have been Nobita who went to chase the man. He was extremely anxious and hurriedly climbed up.
