Red rice cake

This hole was like a bottomless pit, or like a cannibal's den. Two living people fell in without even hearing a sound.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Diaoye kicked Xiao Zhebie in again.

I stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down, but unfortunately it was dark and I couldn't see anything.

As if his eyebrows were burning, Lao Diao was urging the three of us to go down too. Brother Yaozi and I looked at each other, a little hesitant. At this moment, Lao Diao simply left us alone and jumped by himself.

Go down.

Ouch!

The terrifying roar of the beast came again, deafening and deafening.

Undoubtedly, the other party should not be far away from us at this moment. With a roar, the snow that had fallen on the branches of the surrounding trees was shaking off.

"My mother, it's going to kill me. You can encounter this kind of thing even if you go into the mountains."

The coward Lao Bai's legs were swaying: "Why are you still hesitating? Just jump!"

He shouted to jump, but in the end he came up and pushed me. I was already lingering on the edge of the hole, so I naturally fell down without any suspense.

It was pitch black all around. After flipping down from the top, I quickly landed firmly on the ground. This seemed to be a not-so-wide corridor. The ground was an earthy slope, but it seemed to have been artificially tamped. It was extremely solid and even

It's smooth, and when you fall on it, it's like sitting on a slide, sliding all the way down.

Not long after, I slipped out of the corridor. Due to inertia, I rolled very far. I didn't stop until I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw that it was Zhang Xinya.

The few people who had come down earlier gathered together now and had already turned on their flashlights, illuminating the surrounding area.

In front of us was a hollowed-out mountain, covering hundreds of square meters. There were a lot of firewood scattered on the ground, but more of them were fragments of white bones. The air was filled with a strong fishy smell.

The old man asked Zhang Xinya to hold the flashlight while he walked in front, walking around the cave as if he was looking for something.

At this time, Lao Bai and Brother Yaozi also came down one after another. Perhaps because of their excessive weight, Lao Bai turned into a rolling gourd after coming down, and finally plunged into the firewood in the cave, and then heard his misery

He screamed, pulled out his head, and found a big bump on his forehead. He said he had hit something sharp. He put his hand into the firewood and pulled out a huge animal tooth.

To be honest, I have never seen such a big animal tooth in my life, just like a small pointed bamboo shoot. If it really bites someone, I'm afraid it will break the bones and tendons.

"Tiger fang!"

Brother Yaozi recognized this thing and gritted his teeth and said: "And it should be an adult Siberian tiger, but it was hunted like this? What the hell is this!"

It's a pity that Old Diao Ye didn't have time to answer. Qi Ye was already frightened and followed Old Diao Ye with his head down, not daring to express his anger.

This group of people walked around the cave, and finally Lao Diao stopped at a place on the edge, took the flashlight from Zhang Xinya, and illuminated it, and then he saw a gap in the wall.

"found it."

The old man slipped through the gap sideways and waved to us from inside.

After the gap, there was a narrow space of only two or three square meters. The seven or eight of us squeezed in, wishing we were piled on top of each other.

The smell here is getting worse and worse. There is a pungent smell that makes people shed tears. There seems to be water on the ground. It feels like the feet are covered with mud and some scattered animal bones.

As soon as we entered the place, Lao Diao immediately asked Zhang Xinya to turn off the flashlight, then picked up the mud from the ground and wiped it on us.

Perhaps because it was too dark, Lao Diaoye couldn't see anything clearly, so he slapped a handful of mud directly on Lao Bai's face. Lao Bai immediately spat out "Bah, bah" and said angrily: "This is shit!"

"Shut up!"

The old man growled: "If you don't want to die, just rub it on your body quickly."

At this time, we really don’t care whether we bury them or not. We just pick up those pickled things from the ground and throw them at ourselves.

Only after the work was finished, Qi Ye gasped and asked in a low voice: "Master Diao, is this the kind of red rice that our ancestors talked about that hunts tigers for food?"

The old man sighed and nodded heavily: "I haven't seen him for decades. I thought there were more people now and this thing was extinct long ago. I never thought it still existed."

Red rice cake?

I searched through my cognition and memory, but I really couldn't think of what kind of beast it was. It seemed that there was no such thing in the world.

"Grandpa, didn't you say you can't say it?"

I asked in a low voice: "As long as you keep this thing in mind, you will definitely find it."

"Haven't they already been found? Why should we care about this?"

The old man sighed and said, "Now that we've all gone into other people's nests, there's no point in paying attention to this."

Zhang Xinya asked: "What exactly is this red rice cake?"

"A kind of bear?"

Master Qi hesitated for a moment and then said: "No, some people say it is the mount of the mountain god Grandpa, who hunts tigers for a living. There are many theories, but no one has seen it!"

Lao Diaoye said, it’s not that no one has seen it, it’s that this thing hasn’t appeared for decades. Some people have seen it in the old society. No one can tell what species it is. Anyway, so far, it has never been seen.

I have actually caught one. In the past, when the ginseng gang entered the mountains, they were not afraid of jackals, tigers or leopards, but they were afraid of the red scorpion, because this thing can chase after people. If you think about it in your heart, it can touch you roughly.

Direction, if you really encounter this thing, whether you can escape or not depends on your luck.

Eighty or ninety years ago, Lao Diaoye met him once in the Changbai Mountains. At that time, he was still a fellow running with the Shen Gang. A group of twenty or thirty people entered the old forest and were hit by a red scorpion.

He just took a look at it from a distance and said that the thing was a big one, at least two or three brown bears. He had never seen this kind of monster on land, and it roared like thunder.

The leader of their gang handed him a few old wild ginseng and told him to run as fast as he could and never look back.

Apart from him, there was no one from the 20 or 30 members of the gang who came out.

"I was thinking about it so much that I couldn't let it go, so I went back and took a look after eight or nine days."

The old man sighed: "They are all dead. Many people were beaten to death directly, but there are also many people who were not dead at all. They were held down by the red knot. I found that there were strangulation marks on their bodies.

There were also holes as thick as two big fingers on his skull, and his stomach was opened, and the heart inside was long gone. Judging from the way he died, he should have been held in the arms of the red scorpion, with two fangs inserted from the Tianling Cap.

It's like you drink through a straw now, suck out the brain, and then cut out the heart and eat it.

Tell me, how can this be a beast eating people? It is clearly an evil spirit!"

Afterwards, he said that before entering the mountain this time, he discovered some clues at the foot of the mountain. A few days ago, there were many large footprints not far from his wooden house, which were so deep that the soil sunk deep into them.

It was deep. The footprints were at least twice as big as a bear's paw print. It looked like it weighed more than three thousand kilograms.

Three thousand kilograms, that’s one and a half tons.

As far as I know, the largest male brown bear weighs only 800 kilograms, which is at least as big as two brown bears. How can there be such a big thing in the world? This is not prehistoric times!

Lao Bai's teeth chattered when he heard it. He guessed that the scene of the red rice dumplings eating human brains was made up in his mind, and he immediately got scared: "This old rice dumpling with golden armor and bronze corpse is not so powerful. We are really here."

Shrinking?"

"This is an old trick I've heard, but I don't know if it works."

Lao Diaoye said that experienced mountain people all know that if they are caught up by red scorpions, it is impossible to run away, and they can only take risks and come out in the dark under the light.

Because this red crab lives under the tree, from the moment you hear the cry of the red crab, wherever the tree is the biggest within a hundred miles, there will definitely be a nest of red crab. This beast loves to be clean.

There is usually a hidden horn in the nest, which is specially used to bury feces, just like the toilet in our human society. If you can get into this "toilet" and smear red feces on your body, you may be able to fool yourself.

Pass the test, because the red stool is very pungent and can cover up any smell, so the red stool may not even notice it.

Lao Bai asked, how viable is this method?

The old man said, one out of ten will survive.

The old white-faced guy immediately collapsed and said, "We have eight here. If one of us can get out, that would be great."

Lao Diaoye didn't respond. He thought he had no idea whether seven or eight people could get away with it huddled in someone else's old house.

"The snow came too early this year. People were not prepared, and neither were the animals..."

The old man sighed softly: "I guess that beast will continue to hunt tonight. It will be dragged back to the cave and wait for hibernation. There is no living thing within a hundred miles. It will definitely be dead outside. As long as it survives

Tonight, there will be a chance. Red worms are nocturnal. When it goes to sleep during the day, we will designate a chance. People who encountered this thing and ran away in the past have survived this way."

Brother Yaozi thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Master Diao, where did you meet this red rice cake when you were young?"

"South of the foothills."

The old man thought about it carefully and said: "Calculating the location, it should be not far from Ji'an City and the Yalu River. There are many tigers there, so there will definitely be red crabs. There are quite a few people who have seen them. Red crabs are...

It specializes in hunting tigers, and sometimes bears. It only eats wolves when it is hungry and impatient, but it will not eat things like rabbits. It will eat whatever it takes to be ferocious, but its favorite... is still eating people!"

"now it's right……"

Brother Yaozi sighed softly: "It seems that this kind of thing is indeed related to ancient tombs. Wherever there are tombs, they appear everywhere, and they are not traceable!"

After nagging for a long time, Brother Yaozi also had some guesses.

He said that where Lao Diaoye met Hongzhi last time, there was also an ancient tomb complex there, and it was an extra-large ancient tomb complex called the Donggou Ancient Tombs Complex.

That tomb is not very peaceful. It is said to be a group of tombs of Goguryeo nobles. In the 1930s and 1940s, the Japanese once excavated it, but they did not finish the excavation at all. It was because of a big weird encounter and many people died. I heard that

Even Japan's onmyoji family moved here, but the result was still a lot of dead people. In the end, they had to retreat. Otherwise, Japan's little bit of virtue would have dug them all out, and not a single hair would be left for you.

.

"I suspect that if there is a big tomb somewhere and something weird happens, something like this will appear!"

Brother Yaozi said: "Once something like a tomb is in chaos, the surrounding earth veins will also be in chaos. To put it bluntly, the yin and yang will be in chaos, and anything may appear!"
To be continued...
