When the dark hole was exposed, Gao Ning breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground and rested. He took out a cigarette and handed it to me, saying: "Have a cigarette, take a rest, wait a minute." There is no place to rest. This rotten village, I can only get 5 packs of cigarettes in a month this year. When I get the things, I will definitely leave without looking back."
I took the cigarette, lit it, and then rested against the earthen wall behind me. According to Gao Ning, my treatment was pretty good. When I opened my mouth, I was given two cigarettes. It was still very good Hongtashan.
After blowing out a puff of smoke, I asked Gao Ning: "Are you free to leave?"
Gao Ning looked at me and said seriously: "No, how can you just walk away after taking my ***'s relics? I am planning to leave with you. After leaving this village, everyone will go back to their homes and find their own mothers." Bar."
Gao Ning is planning to run away with me? I looked at Gao Ning in surprise. For a moment I didn't know what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd, but I didn't intend to ask. Everyone has their own secrets, not to mention that I still have to rely on him now
I finished smoking a cigarette quickly. I stood up and looked at the dark entrance of the cave, eager to try, but Gao Ning grabbed me. He said: "This is the important place of the Black Rock Miao Village. Do you think the defense will be so weak? Just 4 A janitor? You still have ten minutes to exploit? If you keep going like this, you won’t even know how you’ll die later.”
Is there anything in this hole? I looked at Gao Ning in confusion. Gao Ning didn’t explain. He smiled, then took out an earthen jar from his clothes and said, "I collected this secretly, just this small jar! I will use it this time." Just a little, I’ll use some next time I go down and it’ll be gone.”
As he spoke, he opened the plastic sheet that sealed the earthen jar, then took out a small piece of bamboo, dug out a little something from the jar, and was about to rub it on my body.
As soon as the jar was opened, there was a pungent smell. The smell was very unpleasant. It reminded me of corpse oil immediately. I have been with my master for so many years. He once took me to sleep in mass graves in order to help me practice courage. , the kind that was cracked, and the graves of old and young people exuded this kind of corpse oil smell.
The smell was not exactly like corpse oil. With my spiritual sense, I could feel that this thing was actually full of mixed vitality. But it was such a disgusting thing. When I saw Gao Ning wiping it on me, I subconsciously avoided it. one time.
Gao Ning yelled at me: "Don't hide away. The smell is a bit unpleasant, but unless you want to die, you don't need to wipe it off."
Of course I didn’t want to die, so in the end I had no choice but to let Gao Ning apply this gray, faintly fluorescent substance on my body. My nose was almost numb from the stimulation, and my eyes were blurred by tears. Fortunately, Gao Ning After Ning pulled two pieces of paper to block my nose, the situation improved slightly.
"What on earth is this?" After applying it, I asked Gao Ning. When this thing was applied to my body, I almost turned into a gray man, exuding a faint fluorescent light, leaving an unsuspecting person in the grave. When Baoerli saw me, he might be frightened to death.
"Secret." Gao Ning chuckled. He knew my current situation and could only follow his actions. The decision-making power rested with him on what he could let me know and what I couldn't.
After he wiped the disgusting stuff on himself as usual, he took out a small flashlight, handed one to me, and said: "Keep it in your mouth, and be careful when you go down." Napo Steep!”
Are you finally going down? My heart began to beat violently for no reason, but Gao Ning calmly took the lead and slowly went down. I also held a flashlight in my mouth and followed Gao Ning down.
﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡The dividing line of adventure﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡
Crawling in the hole on my hands and knees, I realized what it meant to be careful when going down!
This hole is a deep hole that is almost vertical at 90 degrees. The light of the flashlight cannot illuminate the bottom at all. It has a slight slope. It is probably just to make it easier for people to climb down. If I let go accidentally, I will probably fall to death. life.
It is said that there is a ladder to climb down in this hole with a diameter of about 2 meters, but these so-called ladders are just holes dug out one by one. In order to prevent slipping, a layer of cement is put in the holes. It is extremely dangerous. .
This kind of hole only climbed 5 or 6 meters down, and my heartbeat was extremely stimulated. I have a slight fear of heights!
But I couldn't speak. I was using my hands and feet, and I had a flashlight in my mouth, so I couldn't speak at all.
When I was about to continue going down, Gao Ning's voice suddenly came from under my feet. He said: "Slow down, I stopped. I have something to tell you."
In desperation, I could only stop, let go of one hand, hold the flashlight, and stick it to the cave wall like a gecko like Gao Ning, to see what he had to say.
"Wait a minute. No matter what you see, be calm. I'm afraid you will fall if you lose your composure. In fact, this is an old road that was abandoned a long time ago. It has been abandoned for some days. The new road is easier to walk, but the defenses there are too tight. We Going there can only mean death." Gao Ning said to me.
It turns out that this guy took me along an old abandoned road. Since it is an old abandoned road, what can I see? I asked doubtfully: "This road is an old and abandoned road. Why isn't it closed? According to you, there is even some defense left."
Gao Ning didn't explain anything anymore, he just said to me: "I won't explain it now. Just remember not to let go under any circumstances. We'll talk about it later."
Yes, it's not fun to lie down here and be a gecko. I can only hold the flashlight in my mouth again and use my hands and feet to climb down quickly with Gao Ning. After climbing less than 3 or 4 meters, I understand Gao Ning. What happened.
Because when I went down a certain staircase, I saw that my face was scratched by something soft to the touch. I didn’t know what it was, and my hair stood on end. When my face turned sideways, the flashlight light also turned sideways, and then What I saw almost made me drop the flashlight I was holding, and my hands and feet suddenly felt a little weak.
What just scratched past my face was a wing, a moth's wing, and I saw a blood-threaded moth as big as my head parked next to the stairs. I just brushed past it! !
How come this scene doesn't make my skin crawl? I have personally experienced how terrifying the bloodthread moth's paralyzing toxin is.
But this moth was like this. It passed by me and remained motionless, as if it had fallen into hibernation. I buried my head in my arms and took several deep breaths before I stabilized myself and climbed down step by step. .
The next road was like the road to hell. I found that the cave wall was almost full of blood-threaded moths. There were countless large and small moths. The small ones were as big as ordinary moths. The big ones were very scary. There were actually Half my body size.
Are there moths that big? In my memory, I once read an interesting anecdote, saying that the largest species of moth is only half the size of a human arm! These Miao people really can't judge based on normal conditions.
If a person is in a scary environment, if he does not collapse, he can only adapt. As I climbed down, I gradually became numb. This is thanks to my past experience, which made me adapt to the scary environment.
Otherwise, a bloodthread moth as big as half a human would be enough to scare me.
These moths seemed to turn a blind eye to Gao Ning and me. We crawled in the cave and sometimes even trampled to death one or two bloodline moths that happened to be parked on the 'stairs', but they remained indifferent.
If they weren't flying, they wouldn't be carrying the deadly poisonous powder, but with so many bloodthread moths among them, I suspected that the air was also full of toxins, but I didn't feel any discomfort at all.
Could it be that the gray 'corpse oil' had an effect? I don't know either. There are too many examples of Gu arts in Miao territory being mutually reinforcing and incompatible, and it's not something that a layman can get a glimpse of.
Just like that, I didn't know how long I climbed down, almost to the point of numbness, and my feet finally landed firmly on the ground.
I glanced up with lingering fear, and a string of goosebumps immediately appeared on my back, because what caught my eyes were the wings of densely packed blood-threaded moths parked on the cave wall. Under the illumination of the flashlight, The patterns on the wings emitted a bit of strange fluorescence.
