Chapter 77 Family Letter
"roar!"
The white-headed tiger let out a roar of shock, and it ran wildly with the sunset and the bright moon.
The roar of tigers came out, and the animals and ordinary monsters in the mountains and forests were trembling, and they all avoided them.
Although the white-necked tiger looks like a well-behaved little tiger in front of Shen Budu, even though it knows the mountain in its territory, it has dominated the mountain king for more than ten years. It naturally has a great deterrent to the creatures in the mountains and forests.
The huge tiger was bumping up and down, and Mingyue grabbed the monk's robe tightly before she was not thrown down. Chen Budu was holding the tiger's neck.
To be honest, as a mount, although the white-headed tiger looks cool and has an extremely fast speed, the actual riding experience is not good at all.
The mountain wind whistles, and the scenery in front of you is constantly retreating.
"stop!"
The white-mouthed tiger braked suddenly and stopped steadily.
Chen Budu jumped down, looked at the campfire in the forest next to the plank road, and tried to make a judgment.
The traces left here are still very fresh. It seems that they were just left not long ago. Will it have anything to do with the sound of Ziwu Valley?
Chen Budu walked into the campfire and began to observe carefully.
I pulled out the fire and there was a layer of burnt white ash inside, which should have been produced when I was camping last night.
A hanging wine bag was also found on the treetops, with a little remaining wine inside.
Mingyue walked over, leaned closer and smelled, and said with certainty.
"This is the White Ape Drunk in Ba County."
Seeing Chen Budu a little confused, Mingyue said embarrassedly: "Ba County is very close to Xiangfan Road, just across the Three Gorges. The people who brewed the white apes are very famous. My senior sister and I have tasted it secretly before."
"So, did these people come from Hanzhong Prefecture?"
“Not necessarily.”
Mingyue shook her head slightly and explained: "By geography, Hanzhong Prefecture is from Xichuan Road, Jiannan, but for a while ago, because the areas south of Jiannan Dongchuan Road were invaded by the Southern Gang Kingdom, the empress assigned Hanzhong Prefecture to Dongchuan Road, Jiannan. These people may have fled from Hanzhong Prefecture, or they may have been merchants or refugees from Ba County who were unable to go south to return home, so they fled north."
"I understand, continue searching nearby."
The white-headed tiger has a more sensitive sense of smell. It takes Chen Buduo to the other side of the plank road. Soon, Chen Buduo found some overturned carriages and dead horses.
Chen Budu squatted down and checked the horses.
The horse's death was very tragic, as if something had been opened to pieces, all the intestines and internal organs fell out, and even blood was not flowing. It is conceivable what kind of pain he experienced before his death.
If it were an ordinary person, I would have vomited out a long time ago when I saw this scene. Fortunately, after a series of training, Chen Budu's ability to withstand has become much stronger.
The white-headed tiger's nose swayed gently. After confirming that there was no danger around it, it walked away with the sunken ones.
At this time, Mingyue walked towards her and said, "There is a corpse far away in that direction, but there is no breath."
Chen Budu was about to walk forward, but Mingyue suddenly called him.
"What's wrong?"
Mingyue's face looked a little strange, and she whispered: "You wait a moment."
After saying that, she took out the things in her hand and handed them to Chen Budu.
"What's this?"
After taking the things Mingyue handed over, Chen Budu asked in confusion.
"Unfinished letter to home."
The blood was stained with blood on the dim and inferior paper, which seriously affected the identification of the handwriting. However, after careful reading, you can still see clearly what this unfinished letter of home is written.
This is a letter written to his wife from a businessman from Daoba County, Dongchuan, Jiannan.
This is not very accurate, because when the southern road is cut off, if you want to send a letter, you have to go southeast from Lantian to Xiangfan Road, and then go up the river to reach Ba County. This is theoretically impossible.
So this letter is not written for the wife, but rather sent to her mood when she is bored. It can be seen from the rough jute paper and twisted handwriting.
Therefore, his words were quite frivolous, and there were also dirty words between the lines. No wonder Mingyue's expression was a bit strange.
But this letter still provides more important clues, and ends with a scribbled sentence.
"The rotten demon jumped off the top of the mountain..."
Rotten, this feature can be opposite to the water ghost in the well and the little boy before; and the water ghost has been drowned for many years. Since "demon" is mentioned, it means that the things that infect the water ghost and kill Shangshang should not be ghosts, they may be monsters or monsters; as for jumping from the top of the mountain, it can be speculated that the enemy does not have the ability to fly, but has strong bounce ability.
"The Qi-Looking Technique cannot sense any monsters nearby, let's continue searching."
Mingyue suggested.
Shen Budu nodded in agreement.
Baiyinghu led the two of them to move forward and soon found another plank road.
There was a little messy on the plank road, and many people walked by the footprints left by them. Obviously, these people had also walked here.
Fresh footprints appeared on the cliff. The tiger continued to walk up the mountain along the footprints, and soon walked to the edge of a protruding rock, and then stood on the rock and looked aside.
Shen Budu jumped off the rock and walked to the entrance of the cave to look inside. The cave was not deep and could only accommodate one person in and out. Moreover, the cave wall was a little uneven, as if it was a sign of some kind of impact.
“There is a cave here, go in and take a look.”
The two of them were walking in the cave, and the white-headed tiger was guarding the exit outside. A gust of wind blew, and Mingyue felt a chill behind her back and couldn't help but tremble.
The two walked carefully. After walking in, they found that the inner wall of the cave was covered with vines. The vines were green and had a faint red color on them, like blood vessels, and many plush-like spikes grew on the vines.
The shape of these spikes is no different from ordinary spiked vines, but the color is slightly darker and looks sharper than spiked vines, like steel needles.
After walking for a while, Shen Budu finally saw clearly what was going on in the cave.
The ground of the cave is covered with thick moss, the soil on the ground is blue-gray, and it is covered with various spider-web-like cracks, as if someone has stepped on it.
On the flat ground in the center, through the beam of light projected under the cracks on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see that not only the bones of many people and animals, but also more than a dozen undead people were lying there quietly.
Without exception, their bodies began to ulcerate on a large scale, with streams of pus emitting from stream to stream.
"Shit~"
A sound like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, but not quite similar.
