Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

"impossible?

Bean sprouts looked panicked at this moment, and said loudly: "How could this happen! Who the hell did it!"

Squinting his head and looking around, he turned to me and asked, "Yunfeng, did you see any suspicious people when you buried the soil?"

"No, turn your head! Except...except the farmer!"

"Something's wrong... If that farmer finds something, then there's no need to dig him out, right?"

Only one night later, not only the old woman Xu Zhaodi's body is gone, but also Yang Jun's body is gone!There is only an empty large pottery jar left in the pit!

"Come and see here!" Brother Yu's voice came from the front.

We hurried over, Brother Yu pointed to the ground.

It rained in the mountains the day before yesterday. Because it is close to the woods and the sunlight is not strong, the ground here is still a little wet. We can clearly see that there are traces of something dragging on the ground.

There is also a row of strange footprints on the ground, which seem to be human footprints, but after a closer look, I don't think it looks like it, because the footprints are too wide, and without shoes, they may be more than 20 centimeters wide!

Xiaoxuan asked suspiciously: "Last night, could wild dogs or bears from the mountains come over and drag the corpse away and eat it?"

I shook my head: "It's impossible for wild dogs. How can wild dogs have such big feet? As for wild bears, it's impossible! For hundreds of years, no bears have appeared near Mount Xisai!"

Frowning tightly, he squatted on the ground, staring at the strange footprints in a daze.

I asked my head what I found.

Still turning his head to be well-informed, he frowned and said, "It's not a dog, it's not a human, and it's not a bear. It should be done by a badger with human feet."

"What is a badger with human feet? Is it a wild badger??" Bean Sprout asked curiously.

Standing up, he said, "It's a rare animal that likes to put its nest in ancient tombs. I saw this thing in a tomb before. Some badgers with human feet have lived in the tomb for a long time, and they can learn from people." This thing eats rats and poisonous snakes in the tomb, if it is a new tomb, they may also open the coffin and eat the dead."

"It's abnormal. The human-footed badger is a burrowing animal. Although it is very fierce, this thing is usually timid and rarely comes out to look for food so ostentatiously. Something must have attracted it here."

After listening to Tou's words, I frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Hey, could it be the scent in the vat that attracted the badgers with human feet?"

Nodding his head: "It's possible, now the top priority is to find the corpse, even if it's been disembowelled, we still have to find it!"

I understand what it means to hold your head.

There are two reasons, one is to agree to the old woman's last wish, which is due to affection.

The second is that there are many farmers in the mountains during the day. It would be a bad thing if these people saw the corpses.

Folks say that it is taboo for a corpse to be destroyed before the first seven days without formal burial. In the past, beheaded people had to ask someone to perform a ritual before they dared to enter the coffin before burial, otherwise disasters would easily arise.

As for what exactly this "disaster" is, people say what they say.

at this time,

Suddenly, the black cat came out of the woods.

It's meowing at us!The tail kept wagging, not knowing what it meant.

Xiaoxuan squatted down and said, "You mean, you want to take us to find it?"

The black cat turned around and ran towards the woods, and we followed closely behind the black cat.

At this time, it was just seven o'clock in the morning. When our group walked deep into the woods, there was a faint mist around us.

Brother Yu walked in the front with a machete in his hand. If he saw a badger with human feet, Brother Yu would be the first to go.

We followed the black cat around and around, and the deeper we went, the more remote it became. At the end, there was no way at all, and there were all kinds of wild plants around.

Finally, we came to a soil bag, under which there was a big earth hole, bottomless, and around the hole, Xiaoxuan found the old woman's clothes, which were already in dilapidated condition.

The black cat yelled at the hole.

"Hold on, this seems to be an ancient tomb, look! This layer of soil has been rammed!"

"Fengzi, when was this ancient tomb?" Bean Sprout asked.

I circled around the bag and said, "It's from the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty."

Obviously, the badger with human feet regards this ancient tomb as his home. It seems that the old woman and Yang Jun were dragged into the ancient tomb by this beast!

I have never seen this kind of animal, and I said that this thing is nocturnal. Although it is timid, it is very fierce and eats people!

Now I don't know what's going on underneath, so I dare not rush in!Bean sprouts still thought of a way, he said to light a big fire at the entrance of the cave, and use thick smoke to smoke this thing out!

We did what we said, found a pile of dry wood, and found a pile of wet wood, and we lit the fire.

After a while, thick smoke billowed up.

Bean Sprout took off his coat and fanned the cave hard. He coughed from the smoke, I took a stick, Brother Yu held the machete, and we watched nervously.

The fire burned for about seven or eight minutes. Suddenly, there were bursts of crying children in the cave, and the scalp felt numb!

Underneath is an ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty, there can be no children, and the head said it was the cry of a badger with human feet.

After another minute, suddenly, an animal the size of a goat swished out!

"Smoked out!"

Bean Sprouts shouted, Brother Yu and I attacked this thing at the same time!

With quick eyesight and quick hands, I picked up a stick and knocked it on the head of this beast!Brother Yu also slashed at the stomach of this thing.

The thing screamed, and the scream was so sharp that it sounded exactly like a child.

Brother Yu stepped forward to make two stabs, and the thing gradually stopped screaming, and died after struggling for a while.

"Hold on, is this a badger with human feet? Why does it look so strange!"

I saw this thing has a long pig nose, exposed teeth, and big eyes!It was shaped like a goat, covered in brown hair, and weighed fifty to sixty kilograms by visual inspection. The nails on its limbs were very slender and sharp, at least ten centimeters long!

This thing is definitely not a wild boar!Where do wild boars have such long nails?Anyway, it's the first time I've seen this thing.

Tell me, this is the human-footed badger, which is almost extinct now. It used to be only seen in the old tombs in the deep mountains of Liaoning.

Bean Sprout Boy proposed to burn the badger with human feet, but he shook his head and objected, "It's a pity to burn it. You are young and have little knowledge, so you don't understand. This beast is full of treasures."

He turned his head and explained: "For example, when the blood of this thing is smeared on people, even poisonous snakes and insects dare not get close to it. My master told me before that the meat of this thing can be eaten, it is a great tonic, and it is also made from it. The oil can cure stomach problems, as well as enteritis and diarrhea, Yunfeng, don’t you have a bad stomach recently? Try it when you go back.”

I frowned and said, "Hold on, I've never seen this stuff before! Can it be eaten? Have you ever eaten it?"

Shaking his head, he said, "I haven't eaten it, but my master Wang Pingzi told me all of this, so it should be true."

At the request of the head, we tied up the limbs of the human-footed badger, put it on a stick, and put it aside, ready to be carried back to the camp later.

Then, I put on a headlamp, climbed down the earth hole, and got into the ancient tomb.
