Archaeological Notes

Chapter 17
Immediately, I imagined that the people living in the wooden house may be some primitive hunters wearing animal skin clothes, delicious roasted deer legs, and hot wine.I swallowed, as if I could smell the mouth-watering aroma of meat, I was rushing towards the cabin, but Tian Rui stopped me.

"Since you're hungry, then go and call the door." He looked around so that he could remember the reference point, "I'll go back and call my brother and the others."

I had no choice but to nod my head to express my agreement, and I still feel a little bit sorry, after all, it seems a bit unjust to let a girl go home alone.But the current situation does not allow me to show my strength. When the train turned over just now, the snow rolled all over my body. The body temperature melted it along the way, and it was blown by the cold wind. It was as if I was wearing an armor, which was extremely heavy.If I don't find a bonfire to warm up, I really can't bear it anymore, so I had to compromise with her: "Then be careful on the road, I will wait for you in the house."

After Tian Rui turned back and plunged into the wind and snow, I quickly turned over a small hillside and came to the small wooden house.The wooden house looks a little old, with a pine frame, wrapped in countless cypress bark outside, and a wooden door on the front, covered with moss.I knocked on the door, but I didn't hear anyone answer for a long time. I stopped for a moment, wondering if there was no one in the house, but the wooden door opened with a "squeak", revealing a very thin old woman's face.

The old lady was covered with silver hair, she was dying of old age, and she was skinny all over her body. When she saw me, she looked very bewildered.

The old lady was a little deaf, and I made gestures and gestures for a long time before she understood my reason for coming, and finally I saw her dry lips move: "Then come in."

I thanked her again and again, she let me into the house, turned around and bolted the door, and motioned me to sit down casually.The wooden house looks small from the outside, but it looks quite spacious after entering.In the middle of the room is a fire pit built of stones, with a black teapot hooked on it, which is burning loudly; on the surrounding walls are some hunting bows and arrows, and some animal skins. A little boy Lying on a wooden table, writing homework, even raised his head to see me.I didn't bother to be polite anymore, so I sat down by the fire pit to warm myself up.

The fire is burning hot, and it is very comfortable to burn on people's body.After a while, the old lady came into the house and brought a bowl of tea. I tried to taste it, and it tasted weird, a bit like milk tea.

After drinking, the whole person is completely relaxed, very comfortable, a burst of tiredness rushed to the forehead, and the eyelids began to fight.At this time, the old woman invited me to get up, and I looked behind her, only to see a few large bowls on the wooden table, filled with lumps of meat, exuding a tempting aroma.

I had a great appetite, and after a little refusal, I happily sat down. The child sitting on the other side of me, who hadn't noticed it just now, saw him at this moment. He looks surprisingly scary.Leaving aside the sallow and thin face, there is a large sarcoma on the forehead, which looks like the head of the Luohan fish, with a strange shape.

Although a little disgusted, it's not easy to show it, so I can only focus on the food in the bowl.I saw their mother-in-law and grandson eat it with their hands. I just thought it was a peculiar custom of the hunting people. I also tasted a little bit of it myself. The taste was not bad, a bit like bacon soup.

Maybe the wind, food and sleep on the way did not have a good rest, and I felt sleepy after eating.He wanted to finish eating early, so he asked them to find a bed to rest, and devoured the meal, but when the bowl was about to bottom out, something like a plastic sheet suddenly came out of his mouth.

I took it out from between my teeth and looked at it under the light. I almost fell off the chair, and an extreme nausea ran through my body like an electric current.

It was a piece of human nail.

I tried my best to suppress the turmoil in my stomach, and showed them, "This...what's going on here?"

Unexpectedly, the atmosphere immediately became a little strange because of my actions. The old woman stopped eating, but just glanced at the little boy with a strange expression, while the child looked at me, as if playing a prank on me. .Suddenly, just at this moment, I discovered something that I had overlooked.

The child wore a pink hairpin on his head. I remember that hairpin belonged to Yixiang.

In the blink of an eye, Yixiang's desperate expression appeared, like a person who came out of a nightmare, why she was unwilling to enter this forest farm, whispering that there are monsters in her mouth.A heart-wrenching chill made me tremble all over, and an ominous premonition enveloped me in an instant. I was out of my wits and wanted to sit up, but the soles of my feet seemed to be stepping on a ball of cotton, and my muscles and bones were all shattered.Only then did I suddenly understand that the bowl of tea soup that the old woman brought me just now was probably drugged.But it was too late to think of this layer at this time, his head was confused, as if someone had flashed a camera in front of his eyes, and then passed out.

I lay on the ground in a daze, half awake and half asleep, like a critically ill patient whose brain was burned and confused, unable to move his hands and feet.After another hour and a half, I seemed to hear the sound of the wooden door opening again, and the wind and snow rushed in.With the shuffling footsteps and the sound of a stick hitting the ground, it might be an old man.

"Who is this young man?" the old man asked, I was startled, the voice was indescribably familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.

Then came the old woman's voice, "Those who lost their way in the forest farm, I almost got them in."

Then I felt that the whole person was turned over by a stick, and I lay on my back on the floor. The old man said "huh?", a little surprised: "This man came to the village to collect waste a few days ago, he is just a boy, you know Probably not many."

Hearing this sentence, my heart was shocked, and I thought to myself, could this person be from the village?From the sound to the old man leaning on a cane, I immediately thought of a person, that's right!It's her - "Master Shuanzi"!
At this time, the old woman was a little uncertain, "Could it be possible to let him go?"

"That's not necessary!" Master Shuan slyly smiled at this moment, further confirming that this is the person I was thinking of. "This young man is quite handsome, with a fair face. When the girl ran away, I handed him over to Dahan as a New Year's gift."

To them, I was a piece of meat on the chopping board. They were still talking about something, and I tried not to let myself become unconscious so that I could still hear something valuable.After a few more minutes, I felt as if someone had easily carried me over my shoulders. I was already dizzy, and my head hurt so badly that I didn't know anything after a while.

I fell asleep very hard during the whole process, and when I woke up completely, I no longer knew where this was.The surrounding light is very dark, this seems to be a basement, and all kinds of waste are abandoned randomly.Not far away is a pot, which is simmering something like asphalt, black.I tried to struggle to move, and found myself soaked in a large wooden barrel. The maroon liquid exuded a disgusting smell, as if it was emitted from rotting meat.In front of me, I even saw a section of pig large intestine floating on it in white flowers. The nausea I had accumulated for a long time finally broke out at this moment. I hurriedly got up and leaned against the bucket to vomit until my stomach convulsed.It took a long time to calm down.

The most urgent task at the moment is to first figure out what this place is, and being able to escape to survive is the most important thing.I turned around the whole room and saw a few dilapidated wooden tables covered with blood stains, and a few glass jars placed on them, like medicinal wine soaked in it.I took a closer look, and all the hairs stood on end. Those jars were not soaked in medicinal materials at all, but human eyes!There is also a severed finger!
What's even more weird and frightening is that there are several iron chains hanging from the ceiling, and there are some bloody things hanging on them.It turned out to be a mutilated corpse, the arms and thighs were all skinned, and the bloody body was hung there by a big iron hook.The abdominal cavity of a corpse has been cut open by a sharp weapon, and the viscera inside are torn and intertwined hanging below, dangling.Looking at everything around me, I found that there was a chill in my bones. The unprecedented fear made me lose my ability to think. Beads of sweat rolled down from my forehead, and I almost collapsed and fell limp on the ground. Get out of the damn place.

After spending half an hour blank, my sanity began to wake up slowly, and I realized that I had to find an exit, otherwise, in the next moment, I might end up with these cold corpses.I began to search one by one, and found that there was only one flap leading to the ground, but it had been tightly closed and could not be shaken at all.Now that I'm locked up here, it's not an option to just wait for Scar and the others to come back with Tian Rui to rescue me, we have to create as many opportunities as possible.It suddenly occurred to me that since Yixiang was able to escape back then, it was even easier for me, which meant that there must be an exit from this basement.I kept looking for it while cheering myself up, and finally I found a ventilation window in an extremely hidden corner.

The ventilation window was fully welded with steel bars, and the distance between each bar was about [-] centimeters. At this time, the outside was shrouded in darkness, and although there was no light, one could feel the wind blowing in.It stands to reason that as long as the head can get in, the body is naturally not a problem, but when I stepped forward to try it, my heart immediately became half cold.

The space between the steel bars is too narrow. For a big man like me, it is still difficult to get through, unless your head is squeezed.Suffering from no way out, he felt a little discouraged, and thought that he might be able to pry it open with some tools.

But when I turned around, I realized that at some point, there was a tall man standing behind me, as if he was carrying something heavy behind his back.

The only light source in this basement is the fire that was lit for cooking the big iron pot. The scene is dim, and you can't see the extra things clearly at all.This guy appeared behind me without anyone noticing, and I didn't dare to show my anger immediately. Let alone whether he is an enemy or a friend, it is impossible for him to be a good person in this way of appearance.

Slowly, the big man took a step forward, and his half-distorted strange face approached me a little bit. I shuddered all over, and saw a scene that I wouldn't believe even if I was killed.

I couldn't be more familiar with such a face that made me sleepless and sleepy - Squint Three!

The originally oppressive atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and I even opened my mouth with a look of ecstasy, "Are you still alive?"

But then I was confused. I obviously saw the squinting eyes and hesitated for a few seconds. I was obviously surprised by my question.I thought things would turn around when I saw him. Naively, I thought he was here to rescue me, but I was stunned by what happened next.

With a sound of "Boom", Slanting Eyes swung his strong arms vigorously, and the thing hidden behind him appeared, it turned out to be a power saw!The chilling sound exploded in front of me in an instant, and the rotating sawtooth exuded a piercing light, which made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts!
