Originally, I came to see Liu Tingting and told her that she was leaving.
But I didn't expect to see such a terrifying scene. It made my scalp numb and a layer of cold sweat broke out on my back.
"Liu Tingting!"
While shouting, he reached out and pushed.
I thought Liu Tingting might have been frightened by the weird and terrifying two skinless bloody corpses, so she didn't answer me.
But after being pushed by me, Liu Tingting hurriedly turned her head, looked at me with a puzzled face and said: "Xie Dongzi, how come there are two skinned corpses in this barren mountain? , and it seems that it was hung not long ago, and the flesh and blood are still fresh!"
Being able to say these analytical words is enough to prove that Liu Tingting is calm and sober at this time. This makes me feel very surprised, but there is nothing surprising when I think about it, because Liu Tingting also lay in a sarcophagus. , People who have experienced the Dunhuang Tomb have already developed their courage.
Being reminded by Liu Tingting, I immediately frowned. I looked up again at the two disgusting corpses with bloody flesh, and began to observe them carefully.
As Liu Tingting said, the flesh and blood on the two corpses were still fresh. At this time, there were still drops of blood dripping down the corpses, and the ground in front of us was already red. .
This means that these two people really seemed to have been dead not long ago, otherwise their blood would have solidified and their flesh would have deteriorated long ago. It looked like they had only been dead for a few hours, at the latest. It's early morning.
Early in the morning?
Two corpses, both skinned?
This forced me to connect the two skinless corpses with the two rangers.
But thinking about it again, this connection is a bit too far-fetched, because I just met the two rangers in the morning, and there is no reason why they would die before us.
Could it be someone else?
At this time, I can only make this guess, but even if it is really two other people, how did they get brutally skinned and hung on this big tree?
Or seeing that I hadn’t returned after such a long time to find Liu Tingting, Liu Qiaomei and others quickly came looking for me.
Just like me before, Brother Bao and Liu Qiaomei were both curious about what Liu Tingting and I were looking at.
But when they looked up at the big tree, they immediately understood what was going on.
Liu Qiaomei and Brother Bao were both people who had seen countless strange scenes, but when they saw these two skinless corpses, they were all shocked.
Even Gouzi, who had always had no expression at all, had a look of fear on his face.
The rest of us didn't have much reaction, but Mr. Liu, who was traveling with us, immediately knelt down and shouted with a look of horror on his face: "The five great immortals are angry, the five great immortals are angry!"
After saying that, Mr. Liu kowtowed again, and there was a muffled sound when his head hit the ground.
Master Liu did the same thing again. He once again took out five sticks of incense from the bag, lit it and inserted it into the ground in front of him.
At the moment when the five incense sticks were inserted into the ground, something unexpected happened. The five incense sticks were all broken without any warning, as if they had been cut with a knife... …
When he saw the current situation of the five incense sticks, Mr. Liu turned pale with fright. He immediately collapsed on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "It's a sign of great misfortune... It's a sign of great misfortune...!"
The same thing happened again, this time everyone saw it.
"What is a bad omen?" I asked.
Brother Bao on the side also had a look of horror on his face. He took a deep breath and said, "This means that the Five Immortals are warning us that we can't go any further and need to turn around and go back quickly. Otherwise, we will They all must die, the two hanging above are examples!”
After hearing Brother Bao's explanation, everyone present became gloomy. After a long time, Liu Qiaomei said: "No matter what dangers there are ahead, I will not stop because of this. I must find my brother, even if I lose this... A life.”
"Yes, the same goes for me. My godfather treats me like his own daughter. I must find him. What are the five immortals? Just let them come!" Liu Tingting shouted angrily.
I don’t have that many impassioned speeches, but the firm expression on my face and eyes at this moment have proven everything.
"A sign of great misfortune...A sign of great misfortune...I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, that I can't go forward with you!"
As soon as he said that, Mr. Liu jumped up from the ground. Without saying another word to us, he ran towards the way he came. He was obviously quite old, but he ran faster than seventeen. An eight-year-old boy is even faster.
"Brother Bao, you are also a family man. How about you just go back? We can walk the rest of the way by ourselves. As for whether you can go back, you don't have to worry. With Tingting here, you should find the way back. It’s not difficult.”
Brother Bao raised his brows and laughed brightly, "Haha, sister, Brother Bao, am I the kind of person who is timid and afraid of getting into trouble? You and Master Ba are so kind to me, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death? Those who said we will go together will go together, even if the front is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I, Leopard, will go through it with you!"
No one expected that such a change would directly cause the team to lose one person.
Call it a reduction, it’s not that it’s dead, it’s that it’s just that it was too timid and afraid of death and ran away.
I used to respect that Mr. Liu, but now I only have boundless contempt.
Brother Bao obviously did not expect that the guide he had personally found would be such a timid person, and he felt helpless immediately.
In fact, it was superfluous to let Liu Ye lead the way from the beginning. Liu Tingting was enough. However, Brother Bao didn't know Liu Tingting's ability at the time. It was also out of good intentions, which is understandable.
We continued to move forward, and we were not affected in the slightest by the lack of Liu Ye. On the contrary, without the drag of Liu Ye, our traveling speed has been greatly improved.
As for the two skinless corpses whose identities could not be identified, we also lowered them from the trees, dug a big hole on the spot, buried them, and erected an unnamed monument.
When you see someone, you can't ignore it. You should treat it as a good deed and a great accumulation of negative virtue.
Before we knew it, the day passed, the sky began to darken, and we were forced to stop moving forward.
I stopped in a seemingly strange open space. This open space looked much larger than the open space at the ranger station. There were many wooden boards scattered around that had long since decayed, as well as some that had been completely pulverized. Determined.
"Brother Leopard, have you been here before? It seems to be a forest ranger station, right?" I asked.
At this time, Brother Bao and Gouzi were looking around at the wooden boards that were not completely rotten and preparing to light a fire. When he heard my question, he straightened up, looked around, frowned and said, "Probably not. The forest ranger station was newly built in the past few years. There has never been a forest ranger station before. Moreover, even if there were, no one would build a forest ranger station in a place like this. If it weren't for the little girl's magic touch, normal people would There’s no way to get out or get in.”
“Since it’s not a ranger station, why are there so many rotten wooden boards here?”
I asked the question again, but Brother Bao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
At this time, Liu Tingting suddenly held a piece of wood and muttered to herself, "Sentry station... This seems to be Japanese, it means sentry station!"
Hearing what Liu Tingting said, we all looked at Liu Tingting, and she held a rotten wooden board in front of her for us to see, and told us that it should be a house number.
"House number? Japanese? So this collapsed and decaying house was built in the early days?"
"Well, it's possible. I heard my grandfather say that when he was young, the Kwantung Army sent an infantry brigade to set up defenses around the Greater Khingan Mountains, saying that they wanted to build underground fortresses to bring hell to the Soviet army. It seems like that , this is most likely the sentry station built by the Kwantung Army back then!"
