The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 63 The Underground Cave

At such a time, He Xuan suddenly understood why their previous companion, in an environment where there were no conditions for the production of mummies, could actually turn into a mummified corpse.

It turned out that the culprit turned out to be these hairs, which quickly drained the blood and moisture from their companions' bodies, causing the mummy to appear.

Both Xiao Zhao and Xiao Xie were crying loudly. The originally young and smooth face was like a shriveled eggplant, with many wrinkles drawn out, and both faces were distorted and deformed.He Xuan's condition was not much better, the smooth and plump skin on his legs was no longer smooth, and it began to slowly turn into bark.

When He Xuan was deeply bound by despair for the first time, he suddenly heard a sound like an earthquake, as if the whole cave was shaking, he couldn't help but wonder if the cave was going to collapse?Then he would rather be stoned to death, it would be easier to die like this.

With a sound of "bang", a stone wall of the cave was pierced by some sharp weapon, and then a face appeared, blinked at this side of the eye, and then yelled, the voice was not fear, but It was his accomplice who called, "My mother, buddy, there are several zongzi here!"

When He Xuan heard that it was a human voice, he became hopeful.He yelled, "Brother, save people!"

With the help of the flashlight beam in He Xuan's hands, the round head saw clearly that they were human beings, not the zongzi they had imagined. Maybe because of the military uniform on He Xuan, he muttered, "Since ancient times, officials and bandits have different paths." Sa Yazi withdrew.

His accomplice in the back knew what was going on inside through his mouth, so he cursed "his grandma, his grandma" and said, "How can you refuse to save yourself?"

The round head made an excuse that the hole was too small and he couldn't get in.As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't know why, but he slammed into it, and the stone wall made a "crash", and a bigger hole was pierced out.

The round head fell heavily on the ground, and his head was not made of iron sheet. It was slipped by the edge of the stone, and the blood flowed down. Those hairs smelled fresher blood, like a crazy snake, quickly crawled to the round On the head side, he was also tightly wrapped up.The round head was frightened half to death, and he thought it was entangled by the snake and was about to enter the snake's stomach, so he yelled "Oh my god, my mother", saying that he is so fat, if he is sucked into the snake's stomach, That would break the snake's belly, so he can't eat it, please forgive me, Grandpa Snake, Grandma Snake!

When He Xuan saw this situation, he felt bad in his heart.Yep, another life came in.

At this time, the scolding guy who had been hiding behind the stone wall showed up. This man was thin and thin. Even though the light in the cave was dim, He Xuan could still see his shining eyes. He was not an ordinary person. Is a practicing family.

The small and thin man quickly glanced at the few people trapped in the cave, and then took out a military jug from his body, but it was not filled with water.Before those hairs tried to catch him, he quickly poured the powder in the kettle on those hairs.

It's gunpowder!He Xuan could smell the smell from those powders in the air.

This time they really saved them. After the gunpowder was ignited by the fire, those hairs became fire letters, and they burned with a "chi chi", and the air immediately filled with the unique stench of protein, as well as the burning of gunpowder. The aftermath of smoke is suffocating.Because the gunpowder was sprayed scattered, and the amount was small, there was no condition for an explosion. However, when the flames sprang up, they burned the hair that would kill them, and at the same time, the smoke powder that sprang up covered everyone's body. It was black.There are only a few white teeth left, which are poorly colored on the face.

That round-headed man with a sturdy body got up from the ground, cursed with lingering fear, and said, "His grandma's, what is that? It looks so ugly, how dare you eat my flesh?"

He Xuan told him that it was cannibal's hair, but the round head didn't believe it at all, and always thought it was a snake.He Xuan didn't argue with him, thanked the skinny guy a few times, and went to see Xiao Zhao Xiaoxie.Fortunately, they were rescued in time. Although Xiao Zhao and Xiao Xie were unconscious, their hearts were still beating.

After checking the situation of his companion, the skinny man came to help He Xuan after making sure that he was fine.

Now saving people is the most important thing, these two people made it clear that they were the ones who came to rob the tomb, and they were not ambiguous at this time, they first helped He Xuan rescue Xiao Zhao and Xiao Xie out of the cave.

When he was about to leave the cave, He Xuan inadvertently saw a stone slab in the cave in the smoke, and there seemed to be a woman in white clothes standing there, with long hair fluttering, like a ghost.

When he was curious, the little thin man reminded him: "Brother, don't be dazed, get out of here quickly! Or your companion will die!"

Only then did He Xuan turn around, and hurried to the other side of the cave with Xiao Zhao on his back.

At the entrance of the cave, the people above got He Xuan's response, and a few people came down to rescue Xiao Zhao and Xiao Xie.

When He Xuan wanted the two saviors to go up first, he looked around and saw that there were still two signs.This startled the soldiers who came down just now, as if they had just encountered a ghost!
As long as He Xuan clearly knows that those two are human beings.He also guessed that those two people probably went back to the cave to find the treasure.Of course, there is another possibility where they plan to come from and where to go back.Silently thanking those two people in his heart, He Xuan returned to the ground without further delay.

When he got out of the cave, he saw his grandfather and Professor Zhong appearing. It turned out that the two had discovered a cave and went to have a look inside.No matter what, He Xuan felt lucky that grandpa was fine.

Xiao Zhao and Xiao Xie were carried away to Sanwanggou to seek first aid from the accompanying military doctor.As for whether it will be safe or not, it will not be known for the time being.As for He Xuan, the desire to survive in a critical situation replaced everything. Now that nothing happened, he felt a pain in his leg and weakness all over his body. Fortunately, he had a good foundation and a strong person. After resting for a while, he replaced everything with strength.There were still countless tiny bloody eyes on his leg that had been bitten by ants, but he didn't care, he just wanted to get everyone out of this horrible place as soon as possible.

When everyone asked about what happened to He Xuan in the cave?He Xuan told everything that happened inside in detail.Let me tell you with certainty that there are no tombs inside, and there are no cultural relics to be excavated. It is true that there are deadly hairs!

Although he also wanted to know what those hairs that could kill people were, but for the sake of curiosity, he didn't think it was worthwhile to put his precious life in danger.

Professor Zhong was disappointed when he heard that there was nothing in it. He was in archaeology, not exploration. Expeditions were done by explorers and scientists, not his business.So after discussing with He Xuan, he agreed with He Xuan's proposal to simply isolate the hole with wood and grass and vines, and put up a warning sign around it to prevent people from accidentally falling into the hole. Even if things come to an end.

Everyone left relieved, only Grandpa looked worried and kept looking back.

It took only a while, but He Xuan didn't pay attention, and grandpa disappeared.When He Xuan found out, he hurried back to look for it, and stopped his grandfather who was going back to the valley again.

Grandpa asked He Xuan, "Young man, are you sure there is nothing in it?"

He Xuan nodded resolutely and said, "There really is nothing!"

Grandpa still had an expression of disbelief, and said, "I want to go back and have a look."

Naturally, He Xuan knew that his grandfather was good at catching ghosts. What he said in his heart, the old man probably had an occupational disease of catching ghosts.But how could he let grandpa take risks?So I said to my grandfather: "As the old saying goes, well water does not offend river water, and it should be the same with ghosts. If we don't provoke it and stay away from it, then it should not take the initiative to provoke us."

Grandpa sighed, deep in the ditch-like wrinkles were worries.

In He Xuan's heart, he only wanted to bring his grandfather to a safe place as soon as possible, so that he could not make any mistakes.He really didn't want to come to this place a second time.

But he doesn't know that things in this world are good or bad.Often the good things we hope for can't be realized, and the bad things can't be shaken off.
