Chapter 58 A Face

  This thought made me feel that Bazaar is really 'similar' to what was just said, and I couldn't help but sigh again. Pakka Hai had just died not long ago, and Bazaar changed completely, and I don't know if it was the death of Pakka Hai that brought him some kind of blow.

  "Never mind, Baza little brother didn't do anything that would harm us, let's go down first." The old professor said lightly, he looked towards the 'cave' entrance and then said: "Xiao Bo, back in those days, I walked to this place, if we go any further down, it can only rely on luck, there are terrifying things below, everyone be careful."

  Xiao Bo listened, but didn't respond. A pair of eyes with a faint glow were moving around, it was unclear whether he was doubting the old professor's words.

  Of course, I don't quite believe what the old professor said either. I feel that he has always been hiding something from us, knowing where the mechanism is and knowing some things but hesitating to speak out, so Xiao Bo had to 'force' him.

  Is there something that the old professor is reluctant to talk about?

  Huang 'Mao' asked in confusion: "What's down there? It can't be more terrifying than a prehistoric giant crocodile, right?"

  The old professor sighed, a hint of fear flashing across his face. He hesitated before saying, "I don't know what it is either. The people of Parang Village wouldn't call this place 'Yin' for no reason. In any case, be careful."

  Huang 'Mao' couldn't help it and burst out laughing, saying: "You don't even know what that thing is, yet you say it's terrifying..."

  The old professor's face suddenly fell, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, as if he was desperately avoiding something.

  He didn't say a word, but I could tell the old professor was angry. I had never seen him lose his temper before; people like him were good at hiding their emotions.

  Xiao Bo pointed his gun at me and ordered: "Chen Yuesong..."

  "What? Put the gun away first, it's quite heartbreaking to look at..." I said hastily, seeing the gun pointing at my forehead.

  "This woman can really shoot, if she fires this shot, will I still be alive? I don't know why this woman is pointing a gun at me, but my whole person is in a state of confusion and incomprehension."

  Where did I offend her?

  I just happened to glance at her a few more times, is that enough for you to react so negatively towards me?

  Before I could think of a reason, she opened her mouth with a cold dead face and said, "You go first..."

  Then she took a glance at that 'hole' entrance, and at that moment, I understood, and suddenly felt like banging my head against the wall.

  Isn't this obviously asking me to be the vanguard and take the cannonballs?

  The bloodstains on my face haven't been wiped clean yet, and at this moment I'm crying with a mournful expression. If there was a mirror, I would definitely look very ugly.

  I really want to say: Sister, is this okay? We can't get married in the future at all... Ugh, marriage, what was I thinking? I'd rather die than marry her.

  I weakly lowered my head and said: "Why do I have to go first?"

  The old professor said that there is something terrifying down there, and if I were to go first, it would be no different from strangling me to death.

  "So much nonsense, I never knew Chen Anshi's son was such a coward." Xiao Bo's voice carried a hint of disdain, and I raised my head in surprise.

  Am I very timid?

  I'm so scared I'm about to crap myself.

  At this time, Yu Gang ran over and said: "Bo Sister, just look at how much this kid likes you..."

  Hearing this, I got angry and slapped Yu Gang with a slap, scolding: "Who likes her? You don't speak up, no one takes you as a mute, get out of the way..."

  With this sudden stir, the faint fear I had just now was instantly thrown off.

  I Chen Yuesong am not a coward.

  He glared at us with a hint of resentment after I slapped him, opened his mouth and continued to stir up trouble, saying: "I saw the way you looked at Sister Bao, damn it, I was speaking up for you, but you didn't even say thank you, damn it, and you still hit me..."

  I'm so angry that I don't even want to talk, and I just walk to the entrance of the 'cave', walking in front by myself. I'm not a coward, what's there to be afraid of?

  There was a stone ladder leading down from the 'cave' entrance, Lai Zi walked in a hurry, threw the big block on the stone ladder, and then didn't care about it anymore.

  The "cave" entrance was square, and I shone a beam of light down with my flashlight, swaying the light back and forth. It looked like a staircase, and after measuring it roughly, there were about ten or so steps. Looking down at the dark darkness below, I felt a bit apprehensive, but as soon as I thought about what others said about me being a coward, I was suddenly energized, and quickly bent down to step inside.

  Whoa, when I stepped on it, I realized it was made of wood. The feeling underfoot wasn't very stable. With one breath, I reached the bottom.

  I shone my flashlight ahead and realized it was a passageway.

  Right behind me, Yu Gang came down, his face dark, looking at the passageway in front of him with some surprise, but he didn't say a word, just staring there with his eyes.

  He didn't say another word, and directly crossed over me, drilling into that tunnel. I was just thinking of saying something, but then thought about how I had slapped him earlier and couldn't bear to lose face, so I crouched down and followed after him.

  I don't know how long this passage is, I only feel that I have walked numb all over, and this passage seems to be bottomless.

  This hunched walking posture is particularly tiring, I only feel that my waist is completely numb, without any sensation at all. My feet are also extremely numb, and I estimate that even if I pinch my thigh now, I won't feel any pain.

  "It seems like there's an exit up ahead, let's give it our all!" Yu Gang's voice floated back from the front, his words momentarily making my spirits perk up.

  At this moment, I yearn to stretch out my hands, feet and waist, even if it's just for a second. At this moment, hearing Yu Gang's voice is undoubtedly the most beautiful sound in the world.

  I had barely crawled out of the 'hole' when I collapsed to the ground, and the few people behind me weren't much better off either. They didn't mind that the ground was dirty and messy, and they just lay down on it, panting heavily.

  "Damn it, if I'm going to suffocate in this 'hole', I should have confessed earlier." Huang 'Mao' said breathlessly, looking like he was about to die.

  Huang 'Mao' is thinking about confessing at this time, and just thinking about it makes him want to laugh.

  "Alas, this person has also grown old. If he were young again, he would climb another circle and his breath wouldn't be so urgent." The old professor sighed and said.

  I've never felt so exhausted, like I've been drained of all energy, even speaking a word feels like a waste.

  I lay on the ground for a while, then slowly sat up and looked around at where I was.

  Here is a large square room, the whole space is empty and bare, without any decoration. In one corner there is a raised area with a coffin on it, but the lid has already been lifted up by someone.

  This can't be Bazagan's, right?

  As I thought, I walked over to the coffin and saw that it was carved with some patterns, some concave and convex small lines, similar to the intaglio "yin" line carving. From the decoration, it looked like a common style of nomadic people. The overall look was clear and meticulous.

  Herders, also known as people who mainly raise livestock for income, live in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet and Qinghai.

  The patterns on the coffin shocked me, it was a typical mural style of Khotan Kingdom.

  Kucha, also known as Qiuci, was one of the ancient Western Regions' major powers in our country. However, the murals of Kucha were mainly based on carved Buddhist images and had never appeared on materials such as coffins.

  "That Bazhana kid is really something, daring to venture into this godforsaken place all by himself." Yu Gang panted, speaking in short gasps.

  In this eerie and forbidden place that has been circulating in the village, if one's courage is not big enough, they probably wouldn't dare to take another step forward.

  I stared at the coffin in front of me, with a heavy cloud of doubt in my heart. Is he lying inside?

  A coffin is used to hold a dead person.

  I leaned over and took a look, couldn't help but let out a cold breath.

  I saw a dark and sinister face at the joint of the coffin board and the body of the coffin. The man's head was raised, his hair was scattered, and his face was as white as paper. Only his head was visible, but not his body. He held his neck high, staring straight at me with a layer of dim light on his face, like a ghost.

  "Ah." I was startled and almost jumped up.

  "What's wrong?" Yu Gang saw that I was looking abnormal and hurriedly ran over to grab me.

  "There... there... a face..." I stuttered.

  "What's wrong with your face?" Yu Gang stared at him and asked.

  "A person's face..." I didn't dare to look again, turning my head to one side, staring at the eyes that had just said: "It was in the coffin, there was no body, it was just a head."

  Just then, a creaking sound came from inside the coffin, like the sound of a mechanism starting.

  As soon as he let go of me, he rushed over to take a look and said, "How did I not see it? Chen Cu, you little brat, are you going blind? This is just an empty coffin, there's not even any burial goods."

  The old professor got up, as if he knew what had happened. He patted my shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, there are many of us here. This place is not suitable for staying long. I'll tell you the details later."

  I've seen dead people, I've seen all sorts of strange things, but I've never seen just a face.

  The scene just now is still swirling in my mind, that pale face, it's the one that appeared, and now I think about it, I still have lingering fears.
