Chapter Eighty-Five: Fortune Golden Toad
Turning his head to look at the door, he saw a figure flash by.
I hurriedly chased out and chased out the door, but I saw Shi Fatzi standing there in a daze, the figure just now was gone.
Fat Shi asked me in a low voice, "You also saw it?" ”
I nodded, and the fat man's voice was a little weak, "It's impossible for a person to run so fast, is it...... Is that the thing? ”
I didn't speak, squinting at the empty corridor by the electric light of my phone, and I was also suspicious.
Sang Lan followed and whispered to me, "It shouldn't be a ghost." ”
I looked at her and wondered. If it were a ghost, I wouldn't have no sense at all; But if it is a person, from seeing the figure to chasing it out, it will only take a few seconds at most, how can the person disappear?
Shi Fatzi also heard what Sang Lan said, and muttered and asked, "It's not a ghost?" Could it be that the surname Zang? ”
I subconsciously shook my head, Zang Zhiqiang now not only got back the Hidden Soul Coffin, but also got the Bai Ze Lingrhino that can be relieved, how could he sneak away from me at this time.
The phone vibrated suddenly, and I looked at the screen, and the battery was less than 20 percent.
I thought about it for a while, and said to Shi Fatzi and Sang Lan: "Regardless of whether it's a person or a ghost, hurry up and go to the second floor." ”
I thought that this trip was just to meet with Zang Zhiqiang first, so I didn't prepare in advance. Now the only things we can use for lighting are the mobile phones of the three people, a miniature flashlight that I always have in my bag, and the two fire eyes given by Zang Zhiqiang, which obviously can't last long.
The main thing is that I have a vague hunch that if we hadn't been here and hadn't discovered the existence of the 'sky lantern', maybe the tomb of the living dead would have remained for a while.
Now that we've discovered the secret of this abandoned hotel, it's likely that this place will be abandoned by the people who built the 'tomb' in the near future, and it would be a needle in a haystack to find the living dead.
The three of them returned to the staircase and walked down the stairs, just half a floor, Sang Lan suddenly pulled me lightly and whispered, "It seems that someone is following us." ”
I glanced back, but I didn't see anyone, turned my face and shook my head at her, "It's been abandoned here for so long, how can there be anyone except a few of us." Don't scare yourself. ”
"Not ......"
"Okay, don't say it, time waits for no one, hurry up." I interrupted her, grabbed her hand, and tried to keep going.
You can turn around, but you find that the fat man who walked in front is gone!
"Dead fat!" I shouted, but I didn't hear a response from below.
I'm starting to feel wrong, Fat Shi is really a dead fat man, and his actions are definitely not agile. Just now, he just went down a few steps more than me and Sang Lan, how could he disappear all of a sudden?
Glancing back at the phone on my phone, I decided to ignore the fat man for now, Zang Zhiqiang is definitely unreliable, and it is imperative that I have to take a closer look at the mural and seek the clues I want.
Sang Lan and I went all the way down, and the second floor was still the same as the restaurant.
I didn't stay long, and pulled Sang Lan to continue walking, but just after taking a few steps, Shi Fatzi's voice suddenly came from behind: "Come and see, there is a passage here...... Ah......h
The fat man suddenly screamed, and then there was no movement.
My scalp tightened, and I hurriedly walked back with Sang Lan.
Back on the second floor, I judged the direction in which the voice came from, and hurried to the side of the restaurant.
The sound should have come from here, but apart from the neatly arranged tables and chairs, there was no figure of the fat man.
"Oops!" Sang Lan suddenly leaned forward.
I hurriedly grabbed her, "What's wrong?" ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing, just stumbled. Sang Lan said with a little blush.
I looked back at the ground and saw that there seemed to be something on the ground, and instinctively took a photo with my mobile phone to see what it looked like, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
It was actually a man's vest, bulging as if it was covered with something.
"What's that?" Sang Lan also saw the covered thing.
I didn't speak, I walked over to the thing and crouched down, trying to take the vest off and see what was down there.
Who knew that as soon as he pulled the vest, there was a sudden "grunt" sound from below.
The sound was so abrupt in the silence of the building that I was startled and instinctively threw my vest away.
This time, I can see clearly what is under the skull.
It was actually a large toad carved of wood with a rather strange shape.
The wooden toad was about the size of a steamer, and its whole body was carved with copper coin-like patterns, but a series of step-like protrusions were carved on its back. The toad's mouth was slit open, and there were round holes in the corners of each side of the mouth, almost enough to fit a rolling pin.
"Uncle's ......" I couldn't laugh or cry at the thought of being so scared that I almost fell to the ground with my butt.
"This frog is made of wood, how can it bark?" Sang Lan asked tremblingly.
"This is not a frog, it's a golden toad, beckoning! Also, who told you that the wooden golden toad won't crow? ”
I stepped forward and pulled the vest over. On the top of the vest, there is also a small mallet of the same material as the golden toad, one thick and the other thin.
Seeing Sang Lan's nervous face, I couldn't help laughing, took off the small mallet, and gently pulled it on the back of the golden toad.
"Gollum ......"
Sang Lan was obviously taken aback again, but then she also reacted, and paused and said, "You know what's going on, just tell me, why do you have to scare me?" ”
I smiled and hugged the golden toad, "Tsk, it's really heavy." ”
I put the golden toad on the table next to me casually, and wanted to use the mallet to pull it, but when I saw Sang Lan holding the small pillar and glaring at me angrily, I hurriedly dispelled this idea.
"Why does the wooden golden toad call, don't you need me to explain?"
The wood 'barks' because the mallet makes a sound when it cuts through the stepped pattern on the golden toad's back, and because the golden toad's mouth is open, the position of the cheek raiser is empty, which can play a role in amplifying the sound.
"This thing is called a lucky toad, and there are more decorations for business in the south."
Seeing that Sang Lan was still angry, I fiddled with the small mallet a little embarrassedly: "Do you remember what the fat proprietress of the restaurant said?" This beckoning golden toad should be an ornament placed on the counter on the first floor. The fat lady and her man are also doing business, and when they sneak in, they want to take this thing back and put it in their own store. ”
"Oh, I remembered, she said that when she heard a cry on the second floor, her man tied the ornament with a vest as a weapon to defend himself, and that's what she was talking about." Sang Lan's expression finally eased a little.
I nodded, and was about to say something, when Sang Lan suddenly turned around suddenly, narrowed her eyes, and looked at a position.
I followed the spirit and hurriedly followed her gaze, and when I saw it, my heart suddenly shook.
When we came here just now, we didn't see anyone, but now we saw that there were two more figures at the door of a room!
