Chapter 607 Achang People
"Who?" I looked around in a reflex.
Senior Rat retracted his gaze and said that according to the yang energy in the air, the other party was not a particularly powerful character, and he thought there was no malice, or he was a tourist who ran in by accident.
After saying that, he walked towards the tent with a swagger, but stepped on it and disappeared. Because it was too dark, I didn't know what happened, so I hurried forward to check it out.
As a result, my feet slipped and I fell down with Senior Rat!
After several seconds, I quickly turned on the flashlight and found that it was a trap dug out by hand, with one or two square meters at the bottom, and Senior Rat fell beside me.
"Luckily they didn't put the knife in the trap, otherwise we would become hedgehogs..."
Senior Rat wiped the cold sweat from his face, then took the flashlight from my hand and looked over his head. I looked up and found that the pit was four or five meters deep, but when we set up the tent before, we didn't find any traps at all.
I cursed with fear, "Who is this the hell? I can dig such a deep pit in a short time, but no trace has been left."
It would be fine if you dig a hole in the plains, but this is on the mountain, and the surface is full of basalt!
"It should be the primitive residents living in the local area. If we were not satisfied, we rashly broke into the forbidden area. But I think they should have no malice, otherwise we would have been done."
Senior Rat fell asleep after saying that, after all, he was bare and there was no possibility of climbing up.
I was not as calm as him, staring at the hole in fear. As he fell asleep, I felt a cold wind blowing through the hole, and my scalp couldn't help but feel numb.
I don’t know how long it took, but my eyelids couldn’t help but fight and felt faintly tired. At this time, a sound similar to a fox’s scream suddenly sounded above my head. This time I heard it really, and the sound was at the entrance of the hole. I turned my head to see clearly what it was? But it never appeared within my sight.
After screaming for about half an hour, the sound disappeared. I looked at my phone and found it was already four o'clock in the morning. I thought there should be no dirty things. As soon as I relaxed, I fell asleep immediately.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps above my head. I was not sleeping soundly, but I sat up when I heard the movement and found that Senior Rat had woken up and was meditating next to me.
Seeing me awake, he smiled and pointed at the top of his head, saying that the real owner is here!
Sure enough, after the footsteps stopped, noisy shouts and scolding came from above, mixed with ethnic minority languages that I couldn't understand. After a while, a rope was thrown off the top. As soon as I was about to go up, Senior Rat reached out to stop me.
"You stay honestly, I'll go up and see what's going on."
After saying that, he grabbed the rope and climbed up slowly. Not long after he went up, he threw the rope down and signaled that I could come up.
Soon I grabbed the rope and climbed up, and then I could see clearly the person coming. These people were holding earth guns or bows and arrows in their hands, wearing colorful clothes, and some people had animal feathers on their heads. They were obviously ethnic minority hunters nearby.
They all looked at us angrily, as if there was a grudge between us. I couldn't stand this inexplicable hostility, so I took the initiative to speak: "Why dig a trap to deal with us?"
"You two are here to rob the tomb. You are already very kind if you don't kill you directly!" a hunter said in broken Mandarin.
What kind of tomb robbers? We don’t have tomb robbers!
I was about to explain that Senior Rat had pushed me away, then walked to the hunter and said seriously that we had just arrived here yesterday, in order to find the legendary immortal grass, and there were no tomb robbers at all.
After saying that, Senior Rat opened the tent in front of them, pointed at our self-defense magic weapon and said slowly: "Brothers, have you made a mistake? Look at us guys, which one is used for tomb robbers?"
The head hunter hesitated for a while after hearing this, another person said something in their dialect. After hearing this, his face became even more ugly and he said coldly: "Recently, our ancestors' cemeteries have been stolen frequently, and every time the tomb robbers will make fox-like screams! Dazhu was squatting nearby yesterday, and he clearly heard the fox-crying sounds from here, what else do you have to say?"
"Wait, are you talking about the sound of a fox crying, or a bit like a woman crying?"
When I heard this, I suddenly remembered that since I entered the mountain, I had heard that sound one after another. Even last night the sound was still at the entrance of the cave for a long time.
I didn’t know what was going on at that time, but now I understand that it wanted me and Senior Rat to take the blame!
I told the leader of the hunter all the things I encountered after entering the mountain. After hearing this, he communicated with the others in a low voice, and finally nodded and said, "You can trust you for the time being, but you must prove that things were not done by you."
Then the hunter waved his hand and ordered the others to throw the rat senior into the trap, then smiled and said, "Before the tomb robbers are found, one must be left as a hostage."
"Okay!"
I nodded helplessly, thinking that Senior Rat and I are also fortune telling. We meet relatively gentle Yunnan compatriots. If it happens in Tibetan areas, we will definitely make the fierce Tibetans ejaculate like rabbits.
"My name is Baji, and I am a hunter nearby. These people are my brothers."
After discussing that I would help them find the real murderer, Baji showed the warm and hospitable side of the ethnic minority. He treated me with the wild boar he had just called. I chewed the fragrant legs of the wild boar and listened to them telling the strange things that had happened recently.
It turned out that these hunters led by him were all from the Achang tribe nearby. They have lived here for generations and made a living by hunting. After the death of the old man in the tribe, they were buried on Ma'anshan.
It is said that in this way, the ancestors can bless their descendants with no worries about food and clothing.
A few days ago, when Baji led the hunters into the mountains to hunt, he accidentally discovered that the grave of an old man in the clan had been stolen. Although they were very angry that day, they only regarded it as an accidental incident and did not care after repairing the grave.
Who knew that since then, the cemetery on the mountain would be stolen every now and then? These young men, who were full of energy, vowed to seek justice for their ancestors! So they took turns staring at the mountain day and night, and gradually discovered that as long as the sound of foxes sounded, the grave would be stolen next, so they misunderstood us.
"Have you been staring at me for so long and didn't notice at all?" I asked in confusion after hearing Baji's words.
Baji stammered: "Once we saw two tomb robbers digging graves with our own eyes, and they rushed up because they were too many people. Unexpectedly, they were very fast and were like robots, so they finally ran away..."
Speaking of this, Baji's face turned red. It seemed to be embarrassing for them to let their enemies run away.
I was about to comfort Baji, but suddenly I recalled the two weirdos who forced us back from the top of the mountain last night, and asked subconsciously: "Are those two tomb robbers wearing black clothes and the other wearing white clothes!"
"How do you know?" I just finished asking, and everyone, including Baji, stood up.
Seeing their reaction so strongly, I knew I had guessed right. Without saying a word, I pulled Baji and ran to the top of the mountain.
He hesitated for a moment and waved his hand, leaving a few people holding guns to guard senior rat next to the trap.
After about half an hour, I took them to the place where I met the two weirdos last night. What's strange is that there was a deep pit in the position where the two weirdos stood yesterday.
"Bastard, I must kill those two people!" Baji was stunned when he saw this scene, and then roared in pain.
I followed him forward and found that there was a tomb under the pit, but the coffin had been pried open and the corpse inside had already been beyond recognition.
Then the others repaired the grave, and Baji looked at me with red eyes and said, "This is my grandmother's cemetery! At the beginning, she was afraid of being robbed, so she didn't leave a tombstone, but she didn't expect to be..."
Before I could reply, he actually knelt on the ground and begged me to help them. I was a little confused for a moment, thinking that I hadn't cleared my suspicion yet, why did I suddenly become a living immortal?
Then Baji said that based on the soil around his grandmother's grave, he could tell that the tomb was dug in the early morning, and at that time, Senior Rat and I had fallen into a trap, so we naturally got rid of the suspicion.
