The fire gradually dwindled, and Chen Jiansheng kicked two dry logs over, and the fire started to burn again.
"Yunfeng, go and take off your hat," Sister Hong told me, and she handed over the dagger.
"good....."
I held the dagger in both hands and cautiously approached it step by step.
Taking a deep breath, I kicked off the large brimmed hat covering the thing's head.
Under the hat, there is actually a monkey face!
no no.
To be precise, it cannot be said to be a monkey face, it can only be said to resemble a monkey face.
We all looked at each other in surprise.
This thing has a long and pointed face, a protruding nose, bright red hair on both sides of its mouth, a layer of white hair on its forehead, small eyes, and a very weird look.
Now, with its eyes closed and its mouth half open, this thing is dead.
"Huh? Is this thing that thing?" Chen Jiansheng suddenly turned to look at Sister Hong.
Sister Hong looked at it carefully, frowned and said, "I'm not sure, I haven't seen it before."
Seeing them doing charades, I got a little anxious, so I asked Sister Hong if she knew anything.
Sister Hong told me that this thing might be the mandrill in folklore, which is a mountain spirit monster.
Regarding this thing, Sister Hong told me some things she knew one after another.
In the past, in the deep mountains and old forests of private areas, if you asked experienced hunters what was the most powerful and evil thing in the mountains, whether it was tigers or leopards, many old hunters would give almost the same answer.
Mandrill.
This thing is also called mountain ghost or mountain god in some places. There are male and female mandrills. The male mandrill likes cannibalism, sexual intercourse, and raping human women. The female mandrill likes to tease people, dress up like a human child, mingle with the crowd, and play games with the children. If the game is When they are happy, they will kidnap the children.
This thing is a little over one meter tall and likes to cover itself with a big hat. From a distance, it looks like a child. Also, regarding the mandrill's hat, some older people have said that the hat worn by the mandrill can make it invisible. When a person wears it, he can hide his figure so that others cannot see him.
Of course, the idea that a mandrill hat can make you invisible is nonsense. I dare to say this because I tried it.
In front of Sister Hong and Chen Jiansheng, I bravely picked up the hat and tried to wear it.
The hat smelled bad, so I put it on and asked, "Sister Hong, Chen Tugong, am I invisible now? Can you see me?"
Chen Jiansheng looked at me with his eyelids drooped, and said indifferently: "Yes, you are invisible. You can wear this hat to rob banks in the future. Make sure no one sees you. Also, when you go to the women's bathhouse, the cameras will watch you." Not to you."
I curled my lips and threw away the old hat. How could I not hear the ridicule in his words.
As for where this hat came from, we don’t know, but as for the clothes on the mandrill, when we were rummaging around, Chen Jiansheng suddenly recognized it.
Because this dress was worn inside out.
Chen Jiansheng took out a plastic bag from the lining pocket of his clothes and opened the plastic bag. Inside was a lighter and half a box of Wuduo Jinhua cigarettes.
His face was livid, and he kicked the corpse five or six times in succession.
"Damn! This beast! These clothes belong to someone in our team! This beast took them off and put them on himself!" After saying this, he became angry again and kicked him several times.
"Okay, he's already dead, why are you so crazy?" Sister Hong shook her head and said, "Look for something else and see if the thing you mentioned is hidden on you."
I also helped and looked through it several times, but I couldn't find the sapphire ritual vessel that Chen Jiansheng mentioned.
Suddenly, Chen Jiansheng clapped his hands, which shocked me.
Sister Hong frowned and asked what she wanted to do.
He held the cigarette case, pointed to the sky, and suddenly said excitedly: "What happened to my brother up there, I saw it with my own eyes! This beast took off his clothes and put them on himself, and then came to the tomb owner's house again." Back garden, Chen Login, tell me, this means something."
Sister Hong thought for a while and said in deep thought: "There is a way."
"That's right!" Chen Jiansheng first pointed to the sky and then to the ground, "Yes, there must be a passage above and below. As long as we find this road, we can go up!"
I am also very excited, because if what Chen Jiansheng said is true, then we can leave here, go up, and find the eldest brother and the third brother.
But the question at hand is, where is the road that the mandrill comes down from?
Some things have already begun to take shape.
The underground space with lush vegetation in the mountain crevice in front of you may be the private back garden of the tomb owner. If the tomb owner is a mustard, with the appeal of the princes and kings, it may be possible to find so many precious flowers and trees and plant them. Go to the back garden you built so that you can enjoy it after you die.
This method is actually similar to the mercury in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor as the sea and the night pearls as the sun, moon and stars.
The slight difference between the two is that Sima Qian clearly recorded it in the historical records about the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in Lishan, while Jihou was not mentioned at all in the unofficial official history.
Regarding how to find this way up, Sister Hong thought of a way.
Although mandrills are evil, they still retain some of the habits of monkeys. Sister Hong speculates that they live in groups.
There is one missing member of the mandrill tribe. Will these things send people to look for him?
In fact, it can't be considered a plan. Chen Jiansheng has been trapped here for half a year. Once a person is cornered, he is willing to try any possible method.
We lifted the dead mandrill up and leaned it against a tree, then put a hat on it and put on its clothes.
Then, we retreated a hundred meters, hid behind a big tree, and secretly looked at the disturbance here.
After our careful arrangement, not to mention, from a distance, the mandrill did not look dead, but seemed to be resting against the tree trunk.
After waiting for over an hour, we got what we wanted.
I was dozing off, and Sister Hong patted me and signaled me to stop sleeping. If something happens, I should check quickly.
Hiding behind a tree, I only took a glance.
I was scared.
I don't know what happened at that time, but it suddenly started to fog here.
About three to four hundred meters ahead, in the hazy white mist, many small black figures vaguely appeared. Their faces could not be seen clearly, and they could only see many hats.
There are about a dozen of them, and the clothes on these things are also different, some are black and some are white, I don't know where they got them. These things imitate human walking, twisting and turning.
This scene.
The white mist is light, a bit like the ghosts walking at night in old Hong Kong movies.
I swallowed several times, my heart in my throat.
Soon the things discovered their dead accomplices.
They circled around, looked at each other, and squeaked like mice.
After a while, these things seemed to have reached some kind of consensus. In groups of four, they directly lifted up the dead one and started to twist and leave.
"Follow me," Chen Jiansheng took the lead and walked out.
The distance was always more than 100 meters, and the geographical environment was favorable, with flowers, plants and trees everywhere. As soon as we found anything wrong in front of us, we immediately hid in the grass next to us.
We walked and stopped, and along the way, those things looked back from time to time. It was very dangerous, and we were almost discovered several times.
I don’t know how long we walked, and after following these things, we came to the outside of a very hidden small cave.
The outside of this small cave is overgrown with weeds, and the entrance is well hidden. If we hadn't watched these things go in one by one, we wouldn't have discovered it.
Watching these short men get in one by one, I lowered my voice: "Chen Tugong, you have been here for a long time. Have you discovered this place before?"
Chen Jiansheng was hiding in the grass. After hearing this, he stuck his head out and took a closer look.
"It's a mouse hole like this and it's covered with grass."
"Where can I find it?"
