Shadow Code - C18
” What’s wrong with you? “What did you meet? Why was your reaction so intense?” The pockmark’s expression was innocent, not faked.
” Aren’t you in front of me? Why is it coming from behind, look! ” I couldn’t explain it in a few words, so I pointed to the straight hemp rope in front of me.
The next thing that happened, I was not boasting at all, it was like a magic trick, there was a very straight hemp rope in front of me, it was like something pulling on it, of course it was empty, the hemp didn’t begin to untie my side of the rope from behind me, and as the hemp continued, my end of the rope was untied, and at the same time as my length of hemp loosened, the other end immediately loosened, as if there were a mirror opposite me, and the rope in front of the mirror collapsed and was reflected in the mirror at the same time.
“Why are you right behind me?” I asked.
“Weren’t you always behind me? When did you get ahead of me?!” the pockmark asked.
“What about the other end of the rope?” I asked the next one.
” Fuck, I was looking at the part in front of me, okay? If you untie my rope, I’ll loosen up as well! Besides, didn’t I point out the part in front of me for you to see? ”
” I see it, I see all three of them, the rope on your body has been untied, the rope on the other end is loose, the rope on my waist is also loose, fuck it, I’ve never seen a button undone, all the clothes of a woman fall to the ground, damn it! ” The pockmark spat out a mouthful of saliva and cursed again rudely.
” If we climb up a tree to see the sky, who knows what we might encounter. The heavens are fated for our lives, and Hades has set his eyes on us, so we can only marry into his family. What’s there to be afraid of?
” This place is so weird, don’t talk so much nonsense, maybe we’ll meet some honest, mysterious, materialistic people next? ”
“We should be reaching Blackwater Cliff soon!” said the pockmark.
“You recognize Lula?”
“No, Blackwater Cliff is a tunnel, so it’s easy to gather wind. Think about it, why do you think the fog we used to walk in earlier became fainter and fainter? It’s because of the wind from Blackwater Cliff!”
“Hmm, what should we do? Continue going in?”
“Nonsense, you’re afraid of that?”
” “Why, why can’t we see without the fire handle?” I looked around at everything. It was so clear that if I stared at a certain spot for a long time, I would feel a kind of piercing pain. “Even if it’s daytime, it shouldn’t be as bright as the tunnel!”
” “Don’t step on it!” The pockmark suddenly stopped my right foot as I was about to step in.
” “My god, what do you call that? It’s a miracle, tell me, these animals have such tacit understanding. Putting the sh * t on the ground and pulling them out together, yet doing it in such a orderly manner!” I clicked my tongue.
” “What do you know? Humans and animals often empty their bodies before they die, so these feces must have been left behind by a group of animals before they died!”
” What do you mean by empty before death? ”
” If you meet a seriously ill old man, you will suddenly lose your ability to move and you won’t be able to control your defecate, then you will be saved. Once a person is empty, it is a sign of death, obviously a group of animals once died in this place, but third son, can you understand what kind of animals these defecation are? ” The pockmark suddenly squatted down and asked.
” “F * ck, I only know mutton beans, and I’ve seen dog shit before. Oh yeah, I’ve never seen cat shit before!”
” Let me see, the feces of wild boars are usually viscous, showing loose lumps, and also can be seen in the feces of wild boars. Our forest has bamboo shoots, pine cones, wild fruits, and even pheasant eggs, so we can see the shell of the bamboo shoot, pine seed, fruit core, broken eggshell, and other similar types. Right, it definitely isn’t the feces of a tiger, because there’s a very elegant title for tiger, called black gold. These are obviously not the right colors, if you sprinkle their feces somewhere, you won’t see them for three days, the wild sheep, the cat, the fox, the wolf, and all the manure of these wolves will find various kinds of bird hairs! ” The pockmarks finally began talking to themselves, and I could barely hear what they were saying.
“Three, three, I —!” The pockmarked man’s face changed suddenly, and he looked at me, hesitating to speak.
“What’s wrong? Could it be dragon dung? ” I can’t imagine what kind of animal’s dung would make a pockmark like this.
“Looks, looks like a human!”
” Ah, f * ck, so that means that it’s not a group of animals that died together, but a group of people? But wasn’t this the Beast Cave? How could it bury people? “And when did so many people die in our village?”
“It’s not our village, it’s an outsider! So many people died, it’s nothing! If I could pry open these ice layers and dig out those yellow ones, I think you would be shocked!” The pockmark’s expression made me momentarily unable to tell if it was excitement or excitement.
“You …”
“Say, if someone ate some golden beans and pulled them out, would it be the same as burying them in the feces?”
“Gold? “You mean there’s gold in the shit down there?” “If I look at it this way, don’t mention the earthy yellow, I would have already felt that I would not have been able to imagine it on human feces, because it is not the pure yellow of our poop, like the pockmarks say. Some of the brighter colors are wrapped in a layer of something that gives off a light color, so if the golden color is covered and looks earthy, isn’t that right?” Didn’t the old saying that if a person swallowed gold, he would die? ”
“Did you see those dark green parts? Maybe they were pulled out by eating wild leeks in the mountains. If a group of people swallowed gold and also ate a lot of wild leeks, then it’s not like they died after eating gold, but after they swallowed gold, Larkin, you know?”
“Bringing gold? Why? Could it be that some people used this method to bring more gold away?”
“Yes, for example, those who steal the grave and dig it up, some of them are for the big boss to work for. After coming out, they have to give all the things they brought from the grave to the boss, and for the sake of saving some for themselves, they use this method.”
“Ma Zi, I remember something. Back then, I heard that there were some mountain elves in the forest that raised wild barbarians. You know what these wild barbarians are raised for, they are like picking golden dates on a tree!”
“You mean there are trees that can form gold, and people that are raised to pick gold? “You can’t pick it with your hands. Could it be that in order to control those barbarians, Mountain Demon cut off his hands and feet, then let the barbarians eat the gold before pulling it out?”
No, those golden dates are just a kind of golden dates, not real gold. Do you know that if we eat and drink the persimmon, our stomachs will form a lump of persimmon? “After the Mountain Demons let the barbarians eat the golden jujube and drink another type of wine, they will form a hard golden cask in their stomachs. I thought it was just a book playing around with me, but I didn’t expect it to be so. I think if we really dig out the gold cask, it might actually be like that!
The ice, some hardness, but also brittle, almost shakes open a hole, will crack, split again, we put in the pry, pout, very strong.
