Chen Tao held the short knife in his hand and glanced at Haozi and Ye Rong beside him: "It's impossible to get out. Now we and Big Beard are fighting to the death. Once we fall into their hands, we will definitely die! Anyway, we have been forced For this reason, I think this hole is bottomless, and if you go in, you may not necessarily find something."
Gritting his teeth, Chen Tao continued: "We have always been at a disadvantage. Rather than die at the hands of Big Beard and the others, it is better to break in! No matter what I encounter, I, Chen Tao, will recognize it today!"
"Yeah!" Haozi loaded the rifle with a click, and said in a low voice, "In ancient times, there were warriors who went deep into caves to slay dragons, but now I, Master Hao, explore caves to look for monsters! Let's go!"
"Damn it, my warrior slayed the dragon in order to marry the princess. What are you doing with the monster, creating a human being?"
"Bah, if you want to create a human being, go ahead and find your big camel named Sarah. Give birth to Chen Shasha and Chen Huahua as soon as possible. Life is enough!"
"Satisfy your sister! Let's go quickly!"
Chen Tao stopped talking nonsense with Haozi and patted him on the shoulder to tell him to hurry inside.
"You two are really..." Ye Rong felt a little dizzy and touched her temples. What time had it been? The two of them were still in the mood to argue.
Chen Tao smiled, knowing in his heart that the current situation was too tense, and he was just talking nonsense with Hao Zi to relieve the pressure in his heart.
Haozi nodded towards Chen Tao, said careful, kicked away the bat head on the ground, and walked in with his rifle in his hands.
The three of them walked in the dark deep cave, and there were more broken bones along the way. Basically, they were all the broken limbs and broken bones of the big ghost-faced bat, both old and new.
After walking not far, a fork in the road appeared, and Chen Tao discovered that the cave extended in all directions, like an ant's nest.
"Taozi, look! There's something here!"
Chen Tao followed Haozi's voice and saw a cracked cowhide bag on the ground. It looked very old and had been lying here for who knows how many years.
Chen Tao was surprised. The cowhide on this bag must have been specially treated to be anti-corrosive and waterproof, so it could be preserved for such a long time. What puzzled him even more was how could there be a cowhide bag in a place like this? Could it be that someone had come here many years ago?
Chen Tao put the small flashlight in his mouth and climbed to Haozi's side in two or three steps. He saw that he had already opened the cowhide bag.
The cowhide bag is not empty, it contains a lot of things. Chen Tao took a look inside the bag with a flashlight and saw that the contents inside had become a pile of decay, including many iron objects.
Haozi used the Yingjisha knife in his hand to pick out an iron box from inside. When Chen Tao saw it, it turned out to be an old-fashioned square iron flashlight, which was already rusty.
Digging further inside, there was a pile of yellowed cotton strips, which looked like gauze made by myself, or like the gaiters worn on the legs when the Eighth Route Army fought in the past. They were also rotten and broke with just a touch.
Under the pile of cloth strips, there are still many small things, but they have been too long and corrupted so much that they are no longer identifiable.
Judging from the few things inside, this
The cowhide bag has been here for at least forty or fifty years, and the contents inside are all old items that are rarely seen except in museums.
"There is a human skeleton here!" Ye Rong used the wolf fang flashlight to shine on one of the forks in the road. In the corner of the stone wall not far away, there was a human skeleton lying reclining.
Chen Tao and others walked towards the hole and saw the skeleton scattered under the stone wall, leaving only the white bones.
Haozi dug a few times in the sand around the skeleton and dug out a skull from the sand.
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that this person was not very old when he died. Look, his teeth are not all there yet."
Chen Tao looked at the human skull in Haozi's hand and felt his scalp numb, his head buzzing, and he was speechless for a long time.
There was a gap on the back of the skull, revealing the empty skull inside!
The child I saw before, the back of his head. There is also a piece missing in the same position, and the brain inside can be clearly seen.
Look at the broken bones on the ground. They are obviously not adults in size, and there are signs of fractures in many places.
Could it be! The child I saw before was the same as the skeleton before death! Could it be that he actually saw a ghost?
Chen Tao's back felt chilly, and he felt increasingly uneasy. What happened to that child? He died miserably, and he let himself walk towards the cave. Could it be that he wanted to help him collect his body?
Chen Tao felt a lump in his throat and swallowed with difficulty: "Haozi, I saw a child behind you before. The size was exactly the same as this skeleton, and he also had a hole in his head! "
"What! Don't scare me!" Haozi quickly dropped the skull in his hand.
"Really! Moreover, he gave me directions and asked me to go into this cave! Damn it, it's really a ghost!"
"You mean, you saw the ghost of this skeleton?" Ye Rong was also startled, but she quickly calmed down and looked up into Chen Tao's eyes.
"Li Hao and I didn't see anything before, so how come you were the only one who saw it?"
"No..." Looking at Ye Rong's face, Chen Tao thought they didn't believe it and hurriedly explained: "Really! I didn't lie to you, I really saw it. I swear I really saw that child. !”
"Shh..." Ye Rong pressed Chen Tao's mouth with her hand, raised her chin outward, and whispered, "I didn't say I didn't believe you, but I couldn't understand why you You can see that kid!”
Hearing what Ye Rong said, Chen Tao was a little confused.
yes. Why can I see that child?
A quick thinker in his mind, Chen Tao suddenly remembered that when he was sorting out the photos and videos in Heizigou, he also saw some strange things, but Uncle Long said at the time that he couldn't see them!
Moreover, after he came out of Heizigou, his eyes were inexplicably blind. From now on, Mr. Li and the others don’t know what they put into their eyes.
Although his eyes could see it later, he still felt that he couldn't figure it out.
Chen Tao recalled that when he was a child, he was also blind for three years inexplicably. However, he couldn't remember how he saw things later. He only remembered that he saw a group of red eyes under the Chen family ancestral hall. people!
Yes, red eyes!
Chen Tao's pupils shrank suddenly.
That Yan's eyes could turn red and he could even control himself. And in his conversation with Uncle Long, he mentioned that his grandfather Chen You had a pair of golden pupils and ghost eyes.
What exactly are these?
Ye Rong looked into Chen Tao's eyes and murmured to herself: "Grandma said that Chen You of the Chen family has a pair of golden pupils and ghost eyes that can see things that ordinary people can't see. Could it be that this kid also has a pair of eyes that are different from ordinary people?" The same eyes?"
"What are you muttering about?" Chen Tao was horrified, but when he saw Ye Rong lowering her head and her two big eyes turning around, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he suddenly had an idea.
Uncle Long said at the beginning that the things he saw in the photos were not ghosts, but things called "spirits".
But what exactly is "spirit", he avoided talking about it. No matter how Chen Tao asked, Uncle Long refused to tell.
Maybe this woman knows something...
Chen Tao asked tentatively: "Is that child also a spirit?"
Ye Rong's eyes lit up and she suddenly looked up at Chen Tao, as if she wanted to see through everything about Chen Tao.
"You...what are you doing?"
"Oh...it's nothing, I'm just curious, why do you suddenly ask such a question? Don't you know about it?"
"I know, of course I know." Chen Tao was a little surprised to see Ye Rong's affection, and he laughed and said, "I just want to confirm again."
"If my guess is correct, you are also a person who can see spirits. The ancient bloodline of the Chen family has awakened again."
Wait, what the hell?
Ancient bloodline?
Chen Tao's fingers twitched uncontrollably. What about ancient blood, what about awakening? Sister, have you read too much fantasy?
Seeing that Ye Rong had no intention of continuing the conversation, Chen Tao had no choice but to endure the countless questions in his heart and continue to look at the skeleton.
If what I saw was really the so-called "spirit", then what was it trying to tell me by letting me go here?
Chen Tao pulled at the broken bones on the ground, and suddenly a light flashed through the sand, blinding him.
What is this?
Chen Tao dug up the sand on the ground and saw a bracelet on the left hand of the skeleton.
The bracelet is entirely silver, with exquisite patterns engraved on it. It should be made of fine silver. It has been in this closed underground for decades, and although it is somewhat rusty and blackened, it is definitely not ordinary in terms of material or workmanship.
Chen Tao took the bracelet from the corpse's hand and saw that it was an ancient object, at least hundreds of years old.
Chen Tao thought for a moment, then asked Haozi to collect all the broken bones on the ground, put them into the cowhide bag, and then used a short knife to cut the bones in the sand.
A small pit was dug, but there was hard sand and gravel underneath, so it was impossible to dig down, so we had to bury the cowhide bag with live sand.
"I don't know what you want to tell me. If you want me to take you out, then I'm really sorry. The place we are going to is not outside, but deep in the river. Even I don't know if I can come back alive. .I will help you carry this bracelet first. If you can get out alive, I will see if I can help you find your family and descendants. You can rest well here and never come out to scare us again... "
Chen Tao muttered a few words, bowed to the sandbags on the ground, then turned around and led everyone into a fork in the road next to him.
This hole looked like only one from the outside, but it did extend in all directions inside. Chen Tao was 100% sure that this was definitely not dug by man, but more like a nest of some kind of creature.
There was an upward slope in the fork they were climbing. The slope was slightly steep. The three of them could barely climb up by scratching the ground with their hands.
Behind them, they could no longer hear the noise outside. The three of them climbed along the cave for a while, but suddenly found that the hole was not as long as they thought. After climbing another ten meters, the front suddenly became clear.
"Damn it, why did you come out again!"
