Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 25 In order to peep into the hole and fear of becoming a strange rat's Chinese food

I worked with the wooden stick, pulled out my trouser belt, tied my hands and feet, tore my clothes and gagged, and the two of them carried them and threw them into the ditch.The whole process went smoothly, Xiaoyue was dumbfounded: "You two look like bandits."

I looked at the direction I was looking at, and there was no movement, so I said to them, "Go in, the situation inside is unknown, be careful, and try not to separate." After speaking, I bowed my head and entered the entrance of the shack.

As soon as I stepped into the entrance of the cave, a smell of soil came to my nose, and I felt a stuffy feeling.Although the entrance of the cave is a bit small, after entering, I found that the space inside is quite large, with a height of about two meters and a width of more than one meter, which is very comfortable for one person to walk.There are many wooden pillars on both sides supporting the top, some of which are covered with moss, and even some damp places have begun to rot.I thought it was pitch black inside, but I didn't expect there to be candles on the wall every ten meters, emitting a dim light.

At this time, the wooden stick reminded me: "Yangzi, be careful, there may be people inside."

I asked puzzled, "How do you know?"

The stick pointed to the candles: "Ghosts don't need lighting."

I suddenly realized, and I couldn't help feeling nervous.It seems that sometimes humans are far scarier than ghosts.

We walked forward cautiously, and suddenly Ning Xiaoyue screamed.I was so frightened that I hurriedly looked back and saw Xiaoyue pointing at the candle on the wall with her eyes closed, her fingers trembling non-stop, and she was speechless.

I looked in the direction of her finger and was also taken aback.It turned out that there was a dead body hanging directly above the candle, with its head down and its feet up, with a hideous face.

The corpse was hung upside down on the wall, and the clothes were already tattered, and it looked like it had been around for a while.However, although the exposed skin does not have the luster of a living person, it is not as pale and stiff as the skin of a dead person, but has clear texture and yellowish color.The candle dish was hung just below his head, and a strand of silk thread was placed in a shallow dish, which was burning with a chichi, and a puff of blue smoke would come out from time to time.On the forehead of the corpse's head, a round eye the size of a fingernail was chiseled, and an oily liquid dripped drop by drop into the saucer along the hole. Obviously, the candle was relying on this oily liquid. burning.This scene made me nauseous, and I quickly withdrew my gaze.

Mu Stick also saw this scene, and he quickly comforted us: "Don't be afraid, this is a corpse oil candle. The appearance of a human corpse has been processed to seal the loss of material and energy in the body, while the materials in the body, such as internal organs, blood, Muscles, fibers, etc. can be refined to form corpse oil, which can be used to burn fire. This corpse can be burned for at least several years."

I felt even more disgusted when I heard it, and I pointed to the wooden stick: "You really know a lot, but it's best not to say such disgusting things in the future, just tell me that there is no danger and you will get it."

Mu Stick explained: "I also know that there is such a thing, but it's the first time I've seen oil leaking directly from the corpse like this. I'm paralyzed and I feel sick, vomit~." Spit out a mouthful of yellow water.

I tried my best not to vomit, but when I saw him vomit, I couldn't hold it anymore, and leaned against the wall to vomit a few more times.

I vomited, thinking to myself: "Xiaoyue can bear it quite well, why are we both vomited like this, she just didn't respond." As I spoke, I glanced at Ning Xiaoyue.But I found that her eyes were wide open, her eyes were straight, and she was staring directly behind the two of us, with a terrifying expression on her face.

I was startled, I didn't know what happened behind me, and I didn't dare to turn around rashly, so I could only ask softly: "Xiaoyue, what's wrong, what's behind us?"

Ning Xiaoyue winked at me, I thought to myself, just say what you have to say, how can I understand what you mean?Forget it, leave her alone, I slowly turned my head back with courage, and saw the situation behind me clearly, I almost lost my temper when I saw it.

Under the wall behind me and the stick, two mice squatted.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, I kicked one of the mice away, the mouse squeaked, was kicked more than ten meters away, fell into the tunnel, ran down the tunnel, and the other Seeing this, he ran away with a whoosh.

I turned around and laughed at Ning Xiaoyue: "It's just you who dare to come with us, two mice scare you like this."

Xiaoyue glared at me dissatisfied.

Mu Stick's expression was serious: "Yangzi, didn't you notice? Those two mice are different from ordinary mice."

I was stunned: "It's different? I didn't pay attention, what's the difference?"

Mu Stick shook his head: "Maybe I'm wrong, forget it, let's move on."

I replied: "That's right, even if they are different, they are still two mice, what can they do to us?"

We continued to walk along the tunnel, only to feel that the terrain was getting lower and lower, the smell of soil was getting stronger and stronger, and the feeling of damp was getting stronger and stronger.The ghost in front is probably already far away, and we can't hear any footsteps.

As we walked, there were forks in the road ahead, only one road was slightly wider, and it was covered with corpse oil candles, and the other roads were all pitch-black.We discussed it and decided to walk along the passage with candles. Although the candles are disgusting, there is light after all.

We walked along the tunnel for a while, but unexpectedly found that we went back to the fork in the road just now.Stick was a little discouraged: "It's over, we're lost."

Ning Xiaoyue said: "How about, let's go back the same way, I guess it will be dawn soon. I'm afraid my mother won't see me and I'm anxious."

I thought to myself: "I didn't want to bring you here for a long time, but I want to go home now." But in this environment, I don't bother to say anything.

Just when we were hesitating, the wooden stick put his index finger to his mouth: "Shh~ don't talk, there is a voice."

We hurriedly listened carefully with our ears sideways. Sure enough, there was a "rumbling" sound from the depths of the tunnel, and from far to near, it was blurry at first, and then became clearer and clearer.

Ning Xiaoyue said with a trembling voice, "Did those ghosts come here?"

I heard the chills down my spine, and turned back to the stick and asked, "Let's go back, the situation inside is too complicated, and we will come back later when we find Master and the others."

The wooden stick is also holding on. Hearing what I said, he hurried down the donkey: "Okay, get out."

As soon as we turned around and wanted to run, we saw that the ground in the tunnels on the opposite side was already covered in darkness.I took a closer look under the dim light of the candle, and suddenly a layer of goose bumps appeared on my body.The densely swarming rats on the ground are the kind of rats I kicked away just now. This time I can see clearly that they are indeed different from ordinary rats.

This kind of mouse has a slender body, especially the head, which is in the shape of a triangle, with a protruding mouth, and two sharp teeth protruding outside, oozing pale light.The tail was also longer than that of a normal mouse, and instead of dragging behind it, it curled around and over the head, held in an odd position.In addition, the biggest difference from ordinary mice is that this kind of mouse has no eyes. On the part where the eyes should be, there are two concave spots covered with fine hairs.The mice were all black, and the black ones were shiny.A large group gathered on the opposite side, it looked like there were no less than a few hundred, and we could feel the coldness blowing towards our faces.

Ning Xiaoyue was too scared to scream.The wooden stick and I were also at a loss, not knowing what the purpose of these mice was.However, according to experience, it must not be good for us, especially when I kicked one just now.

I was still in a daze, but the wooden stick next to me had already started to move. He took off his shirt in a slow motion, and there happened to be a corpse oil candle next to him. The oil, after seeing the fire, also sizzled and burned.

The wooden stick picked up the burning clothes with a copper coin sword, and kept urging: "Go, go quickly."

We turned around and ran in the tunnel where we came and went, waving wooden sticks and breaking our fire clothes.Although those mice have no eyes, they are very sensitive. As soon as we moved, they surrounded us.Two of them rushed out, resisting with wooden sticks and fire clothes.After the mouse was burned, it retreated with a "squeak".The other mice also had scruples, they didn't dare to step forward easily, and surrounded them from behind.Seeing that this trick works well, I also took off my clothes and was always ready.

The stick held the fire clothes and walked back while walking. The fire clothes burned very fast, and seeing that they were about to burn out, I hurriedly handed my clothes to the stick.

The mice seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, eager to move behind.Seeing this, I felt bad, so I gave Ning Xiaoyue a push: "Leave us alone, run quickly, and get out of the burrow."

Ning Xiaoyue balked and refused to leave, saying she couldn't keep us.I was still very moved, but the situation was no longer optimistic, and my clothes were almost burnt out. As the fire reduced, a few bold mice had already approached us.

I thought to myself, I can't take off Xiaoyue's shirt anymore, so I shouted: "If you can't, take off your pants."

But it was too late to take off everything. The mice in front rushed out before the fire was completely extinguished. The mouse's jumping ability was also amazing, and it jumped onto the wooden stick after a few clicks.The wooden stick hurriedly slapped and shook it off, and then drew out the copper coin sword casually, and swiped it back and forth.I thought that the copper coin sword was okay against ghosts, but it must be a bit stretched against mice.Unexpectedly, the effect was not bad. The mice seemed to be a little afraid of the copper coin sword, and it was even more effective than the fire.I was overjoyed when I saw this, and I also pulled out the copper coin sword, swung it blindly behind me, and also slapped away a few mice that rushed up.

Ning Xiaoyue opened the way ahead, and then shouted: "I see the entrance of the cave, hurry up!"

My spirit was lifted, the copper coin sword danced faster, and my feet also accelerated to retreat towards the entrance of the cave.But those mice also seemed to understand Ning Xiaoyue's words, there was a commotion, and then screamed wildly, showing their sharp white teeth, jumping up and down with their arms in their arms.

The wooden stick and I were in a hurry, and several mice had rushed past Jianhua and chased Ning Xiaoyue with their teeth bared.
