46, Red Lady (1)

"Uncle Liao, there are dead people in this cave." I pointed to the upside-down corpses.

Uncle Liao was not surprised and said: "The fish can suck the essence of warm-blooded animals out of thin air, these people enter the cave for some reason, but they definitely didn't find the ancient rays in the water, and they didn't wear gas masks, so it's not strange that they were sucked out of their bodies." "Under the illumination of the flashlight, we finally saw that the white jade part of the riverbed was actually the huge body of the Qingshui ancient ray, which is a cartilaginous fish with a flattened, disc-shaped, gill hole and mouth located above the body, and a huge pectoral fin and wing-shaped.

This ancient ray is so big that it is almost like an alien flying saucer in the underground dark river, there is no doubt that it is the king of this area, even if it is a monster like the rat demon, it does not dare to violate it in the slightest, but chooses to escape from the territory of the Gu God.

The rat is not afraid of us, it is afraid of this ancient ray, thinking of this, I suddenly felt dizzy in my head, Uncle Liao also shook a little and said: "This place is not suitable for a long time, leave quickly." "I took advantage of the fact that my blood sugar had not yet dropped to a low point, and turned around and walked deeper into the cave.

Soon they reached the bottom of the corpses, and saw that they were all wearing yellow waterproof suits and carrying backpacks, and the reason why they were hanging upside down on the top of the cave was because they had set up a ropeway for rock climbing, and before they could get down from the ropeway, several people died on the ropeway of rock climbing at the same time.

This should be a cave exploration enthusiast, they discovered the hidden cave in Qinglong Mountain, but they didn't expect that there was a Gu God who sucked Yuanyang in it, and died in the cave inexplicably.

Fortunately, we have rubber suits that are insulated from the outside world and gas masks on our mouths and noses, otherwise we would have lost our roots and become the "nourishment" of the ancient rays together with these explorers.

Gritting our teeth, we climbed along the ropeway for a stretch of suspended road, and finally stood on a rocky ridge that rose upward, perhaps because we felt much better after passing the territory of the ancient rays, and we could only see a faint glimmer of sunlight from the top of the hill when we looked down the hillside.

Uncle Liao sighed and said: "Although the cave is big, it will be filled with dirt sooner or later, this ancient ray doesn't know how old it has lived, it is really a sin." ”

"If it really died because of this, it can only be that it deserves to live like this, and no one else is to blame." I comforted Uncle Liao.

Then the two of us went all the way up the rocky road, to the entrance of the cave to push open the mound of earth, drill out of the hole and stand on the side of a low dirt mountain, this mountain is not Qinglong Mountain, we have never been here, can not distinguish for a while, and the river beach not far from the foot of the mountain is a hot labor scene, many men and women with hats and trouser legs are holding rectangular wooden plates, which are filled with river sand, soaked in the muddy river water and swaying rhythmically.

"Is this a water grabber?" Uncle Liao muttered to himself.

We walked down the mountain, passing by a mountain forest, only to see waist-deep grass piled up in the mound, this is a mass grave, buried are from other places to come here gold diggers, many of these people were deceived by the big gold customers, so after death, with a straw mat or even a sack hastily wrapped, the pit was buried.

This is not bad, many gold diggers have encountered floods, and even the bodies cannot be found.

Our village is close to the Yellow River, so I know that there are too many mysterious events hidden in this mother river of China, and I have seen huge fish creatures in the rolling turbid waves more than once, and old people have said that there are sacred cows in the Yellow River, blue sacred cows.

I never believed it when I was a child, but then I learned that this was "Eight Hundred Miles".

When I walked down the mountain, I heard a rough voice say, "What are you doing?" You're not welcome here. ”

Following the prestige, we saw two high-nosed, deep-eyed, handsome Hui people looking at me and Uncle Liao with unfriendly faces, and then we realized that all the Hui people who were busy digging for sand in the river beach were Hui.

This gave me a feeling of crossing, Uncle Liao hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, we are not gold diggers, we are tourists who entered the mountain, and we came here unintentionally, and you see that we don't have gold panning pots in our hands." ”

"What? You've just come down from the mountains? He asked, a little surprised. When we reconfirmed, the man was shocked and exclaimed: "Allah, thank you for giving us the one who fears the devil, and your people can be sheltered by you thousands of miles away." "Ignoring our shirk, he dragged us directly into a tent at the bottom of the mountain.

He began to boil milk tea, first boiled the tea to a light and suitable level, skimmed the tea residue, mixed the cooked milk into the mixture, made it boil, and added an appropriate amount of salt after the tea and milk were blended. When drinking milk tea, put the milk tea into a bowl, add a little cream or ghee, the small tent is full of rich milk aroma, I have long been hungry to the bottom, at this time extremely uncompromising made a long "goo" sound.

He heard it clearly, so he took out a food unique to their people called "Gubaidea" to fill my stomach and Uncle Liao.

Gubaidier is a kind of rice that has been washed and dried with cream, dried apricots, raisins, etc., and baked on a stove with metal utensils to make round scones, which are fragrant, sweet and delicious, and served with milk tea, I almost didn't eat the plate.

He watched me eat and drink with awe on his face, and sat with him to carefully introduce the situation.

The young man is a Tatar from the western Xinjiang, that is, a Tatar, named Bilk Agurisi Wadangtai, whose name is long, and when translated into Chinese characters, it is actually one word - fish.

Because the last two paragraphs of his name are his father's name and the name of the tribe, only Bilek is his own name, and Bilek is the Uyghur language: fish, so after I became familiar with him, I directly called him "Xiaoyu".

Xiao Yu told us that there was a famous underworld leader in his hometown, who almost monopolized the entire Yellow River Basin in the Western Xinjiang "thief market", is the famous Western Regions thief king, many young and middle-aged people in the local villages came out with him to steal for a living, but Xiao Yu did not do it, and the thief did not dare to offend a Tatar tribe with strong folk customs, so he gave them a message, saying that a certain section of the Yellow River rushed out of the Jinsha, let them come here to pan for sand, the two parties cooperated, and the benefits were equally shared.

And Xiaoyu's father is the leader of the tribe, so he assigned his eldest son Xiaoyu to take the tribe to pan for gold here, but he didn't want to come here, the best gold panning position has long been occupied by people from nearby villages, and it is impossible to grab land by killing this year.

Uncle Liao said with a smile: "People may let pears give up their seats, how can there be a reason to let gold, I'm afraid that this place is weird, right?" ”

"The old fairy is so right, there is a red lady in the depths of the mountain, she can often be seen on rainy days or something, and at that time the river will turn red, as long as someone is in the water, it will become a dead person, so they don't dare to pan for gold here, so let it be given to us." Small Fish Passage.

"Red lady? This should be the saying of the Han people, have you heard it or seen it with your own eyes? I said.

"I also heard from people, they said that this is a very beautiful girl, with long black braids, wearing a half-red and half-white dress, her face and hands are full of blood, and she is scared to death." Xiao Yu's face was full of fear when he said this.

"We are going to return from this mountain, so by the way, we will help you see if there is a red lady, and if there is, please ask her to leave, don't hurt you." Uncle Liao said.

"Thank you, old fairy, if you get a gold nugget, I will definitely give you a big one." Xiaoyu smiled happily.

Eat and drink enough we went on the road, although there are some circles, but the terrain here is not complicated, relying on the compass to find the direction of Qinglong Mountain, we will say goodbye to Xiaoyu on the road, but along the way except for the mass grave at the foot of the mountain, we did not see any dangerous and strange terrain, to the evening into the Qinglong Mountain boundary, standing on the top of the mountain can see a place in the mountain is like being hit by a meteorite, collapsed a huge circle, and the soil is still draining, the working group responsible for the rescue has entered the scene, and the corpse inn due to the bottom of the mud loss, still collapsing.

Unexpectedly, the giant rat demon was tied to his legs and hung upside down from a pine tree, under which stood Rocky.

"A mouse that loses its mana will not be a sperm." Uncle Liao said to me with a smile.

Rocky found us and hurriedly greeted us, saying, "You are back, you almost didn't kill me, catch this mouse and I will say that I will burn it tonight, and pray for your peace." ”

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the rat demon hanging upside down on the tree actually folded its front paws and slammed at us, and tears dripped out of the black eyes and fell on the ground.
