Chapter 1324
The tribe members went in one after another, and Brother Yu also wanted to go in. I immediately grabbed Brother Yu.
Brother Yu said: "Yunfeng, I know what you mean, but it's not dark yet and we've come here. Don't you want to see what's in the building? What if there are some valuable cultural relics?"
As soon as he heard about the cultural relics, Douyazai's eyes lit up and he immediately ran into the building with his bag on his back. He didn't even hear me calling him.
It was approaching evening and the sky was dark.
This lonely three-story stone building gave me a very depressing feeling, like a ghost building.
Gritting my teeth, I followed in.
I originally expected the scene in the building to be that of broken bricks and tiles, with spider webs everywhere, but when I came in, I found that the house was quite tidy and there was no dust on the ground.
The light is dark and the room is eerie, so I need to use a flashlight.
There was a broken table, a broken chair, and two large straw frames stacked side by side in the corner, but otherwise there was nothing else.
Xiaoxuan tugged at me and asked in a low voice: "Does that savage live here? Then aren't we occupying his house?"
Brother Yu sniffed: "What weird smell is this? It seems to be the smell coming from the second floor."
I didn't smell it. I have good eyes and ears, but my nose is not very good. Maybe it's because of smoking.
There were no stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor, only a very narrow wooden ladder. Only one person could get on at a time. We went up to the second floor one after another and were shocked when we saw it.
There was a mud fire on the ground on the second floor. There was an aluminum pot with a very broken mouth on the fire. All the food in the pot was bark. The soup that came out was milky white, like paste, and the pot was full.
Dou Sprout said, "Does anyone eat this? Bark? Is this delicious?" After saying this, it wanted to reach out and taste it.
"Don't move, you don't want to live anymore!" Lao Fu grabbed Dou Sprout and said, "This can't be eaten. This is the bark of the Killer Tree, which is highly poisonous!" "
The throat-killing tree is indeed poisonous. The common name is also called the blood-sealed throat tree. The official name should be called the curare tree. It is common in Yunnan and there are some here in Sichuan. In ancient times, ethnic minorities living in Yunnan would treat this kind of tree. The tree's sap was applied to bows and arrows to ward off enemies.
"Boss, what are you looking at?"
"My eyesight is not very good. Yunfeng, look at it. Is that a mural on the wall?"
When I saw it, it was true, but the original colors of the mural had fallen off, and the outline of the painting was very light.
I stepped on the table to take a look. Because it had been improperly preserved for too long, only a little bit of the characters in the mural could be seen above the eyes, that is, only the forehead and hair could be seen.
The character in the painting has a bald hairstyle in the middle, a Mediterranean style, with a circle of braids on both sides of the ears. Ancient people pay attention to how the body and skin are influenced by their parents. With such an unconventional hairstyle, I recognized him at a glance as a Xixia person.
There are no words, and apart from being able to see the two halves clearly and pulling my head, there are no valuable clues.
There was also a third floor, which looked like it was about to collapse. I said, let’s get out of here and camp somewhere else for the night, not here.
"look at you!"
Brother Biao advised me: "It's past seven o'clock now, and it's already dark outside. It's definitely too late for you to set up camp now. There are wolves, snakes, and maybe bears here at night."
"We are stronger in numbers. It will be fine if we get together at night, but it will be dangerous if we are separated. Think carefully about what I said, is it right? Is this true?"
"Well," Baotou nodded after hearing this: "Brother Zhang's words are true. In this deep mountain and old forest, it is better to stay together. One more person will give you more strength."
Brother Biao immediately laughed: "That's it. We will sleep on the first floor at night, and you will sleep on the second floor. There are many of us, so we will leave the night watch to us."
I had no choice but to say yes, and at the same time I could hope that nothing would happen at night and that I would be safe until dawn.
I simply ate something and slept on the floor.
He blew out the candles and the surroundings fell into darkness.
Xiaoxuan leaned against me and asked, "Let me ask you, did you see what that person looked like during the day?"
"You really want to know? I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you."
"You tell me, I believe it."
I turned my head and looked around, and whispered in Xiaoxuan's ear: "I don't know whether that person is a boy or a girl. His face is completely rotten. He has no nose, no eyes, and there are big bags of pus on his face. Maggots, crawling down from its eye sockets."
"Oh! You're so mean! Did you scare me on purpose?" Xiaoxuan kicked me angrily.
"Look, I know you don't believe it. I feel like it's not a person, maybe it's a dumpling."
"Do you know what soft rice dumplings are? Let me tell you a true story. In the past..."
"Don't listen, don't listen! I don't listen! I want to sleep!" Xiaoxuan covered her head, and soon there was no movement.
In the darkness, I stared at the roof in a daze.
After a few minutes, Xiaoxuan put down the quilt again and said distressedly: "It's over, I want to relieve myself, what should I do?"
"small?"
