Hearing Xiao Bai's voice, Si Si slowly opened his eyes.
For no apparent reason, she had always felt extremely tired these past two days.
Looking at the village outside the car window, Sisi's eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
"What's going on with you? Where have you been driving?"
Rubbing his eyes, Sisi opened the car door.
Seeing this, Xiao Bai also jumped out of the car and looked at the houses on the roadside.
The house has the characteristics of the local ethnic minorities, but it looks like it has been vacant for many years.
The weeds in many yards have reached half a person's height, and many small trees with extremely strong vitality have grown on the stone walls.
"Xiao Bai, after leaving the village, did you keep driving along the road?"
Xiao Bai sighed deeply when he saw Si Si asking himself questions while walking into a courtyard whose wooden door was rotten on the ground.
"Yes, I drove straight along the road and didn't see any side roads."
While the two were talking, Si Si was already squatting in front of the house in the yard.
After a moment, she turned around and looked at Xiao Bai.
"Is there a signal here? Fly a drone and have a look."
Hearing this, Xiao Bai nodded and took out the drone from the trunk. After a moment, as the drone rose higher and higher, the entire village appeared in their eyes.
"How's it going? Did you see anything?"
"Um."
As the entire village came into view, Director Si sighed.
"The layout of this village is almost exactly the same as the one I visited before, except that it looks more dilapidated, desolate, and older."
"I just took a look. This place must have been flooded, and the water was huge. The mark left by the flood has reached the top of the door."
"Perhaps because of the flood, everyone moved away and rebuilt the village."
Hearing this, Xiao Bai nodded.
"I can understand this statement, but why do we appear in this village..."
"What else could it be because you drove the wrong way?"
After hearing this, Xiao Bai recalled it carefully again, and then shook his head firmly.
"Probably not. Although the road condition on this section is better than the previous section, I don't drive fast. If there is a side road, I won't miss it."
Seeing Xiao Bai's words so certain, Si Si stepped out of the yard.
"Come on, since we are all here, let's go to the location corresponding to the ancestral hall."
Hearing this, Xiao Bai nodded.
Although I don’t know how I got here, I’m here now, so I might as well go and have a look.
Seeing Xiao Bai looking at him blankly, Si Si said angrily: "What are you looking at me for? Go pick up the crossbow and set off."
"This village has been abandoned for so long. Who knows if there are any animals that can hurt people here."
After hearing what Si Si said, Xiao Bai agreed and then put on a body armor.
Seeing that Xiao Bai was about to put the gas mask on his face, Si Si said speechlessly: "That's not necessary..."
"I prepared the gas mask in preparation for going into the tomb or something like that."
"This village has been open for so many years, and it is fully open. How can there be any poisonous gas?"
Hearing this, Xiao Bai scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, then put the gas mask back.
Following Si Si's example, he fastened the quiver. After all this busy work, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a little nervous, as if facing a powerful enemy.
Lock the car doors.
The two of them walked on this deserted dirt road.
Because the village was not that big, within a few minutes, the two of them were standing at the ancestral hall located in the center of the village.
Looking at the relatively intact ancestral hall, Si Si gave Xiao Bai a careful look, and then gently opened the door of the ancestral hall without a padlock.
"Squeak..."
Along with the sound of the door axis, the scene in the ancestral hall slowly came into view of Xiao Bai.
Compared with the dilapidated yard overgrown with grass and grass on the roadside that I saw before, this ancestral hall is obviously much cleaner and tidier.
Although a layer of floating dust could be seen, the dust was not too thick. It was obvious that someone had cleaned it before.
Instead of wandering around the ancestral hall, Sisi went straight to the main hall where the tablets were enshrined.
A moment later, in front of the main hall, seeing a box placed in the middle of the memorial tablet, Xiao Bai and Si Si couldn't help but look at each other.
Seeing Si Si step forward to reach for the box, Xiao Bai suddenly stopped him.
"Well, that's not good."
After hearing Xiao Bai's words, Si Si tilted his head and looked at Xiao Bai with some fun.
"What? Your life is almost gone, why should you stick to the bottom line of an archaeologist?"
After scratching his head, Xiao Bai said with some embarrassment: "No, it's just that there are some unclean things in this box, or maybe they are Gu insects or something?"
"After all, this is a farming place, so it's better to be careful. I don't know why, but I always feel insecure."
Si Si smiled after hearing Xiao Bai's words.
"I didn't see it, you are quite alert."
"This box..."
Si Si suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and then she decisively picked up the crossbow, then cocked it and pointed it at Xiao Bai.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Bai couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"No, it's not necessary."
"I'm not going to fight with you. There's no need for you to just fall out with me."
Xiao Bai was talking when he suddenly felt a drop of sticky liquid dripping on his forearm.
What is this and where did it come from?
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai instinctively looked up and saw a huge mandrill hanging on the beam on the roof of the ancestral hall. It was staring at him greedily and drooling.
"rough!!!"
Seeing this scene, Xiao Bai felt like his hairs were about to explode.
I was at a loss for a moment and my mind went blank.
"Whoosh!"
Along with the sound of breaking through the air, a crossbow arrow was shot by Si Si, with great force, it shot towards the mandrill.
"Roar!"
As the crossbow arrow shot into the mandrill's shoulder.
The mandrill roared angrily, watching as the mandrill's face, which originally looked a little scary, became distorted by the pain.
Xiao Bai felt his head buzzing.
"What are you stunned for! Flash!"
Hearing Si Si's roar, Xiao Bai came back to his senses as if waking from a dream.
But in just this moment, he had already seen the mandrill pulling out the arrow that had been shot into his shoulder and preparing to pounce on him.
Draw the arrow and string it.
When danger came, Xiao Bai suddenly calmed down.
As he jumped to the ground, the huge mandrill, with a shoulder height of 1.5 meters, stared at him steadily from a position three or four meters away from him.
Xiao Bai's string-stringing hand loosened slightly.
"Whoosh!"
The crossbow arrow shot out from the crossbow like a thunderbolt, even making a cracking sound in the air, and in the blink of an eye it was nailed above the mandrill's nostril.
"Roar!!"
Another loud roar came out.
The shock caused the floating ash on the roof of the ancestral hall to fall down one after another.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing that the mandrill did not deal with the arrow this time, but pounced directly on Xiao Bai
, Si Si shouted loudly again.
