Despicable Games [Top]

As soon as Du Qianlin's foot hit the ground, he stretched out his hand to support Kang Wenwen's waist.When Kang Wenwen was approaching the ground, Du Qianlin picked him up from the ladder and put him on the ground with two hands.

Kang Wenwen stepped on the ground with both feet, and his mind was a little dazed.

Are you so light?

In reality, he is taller than himself and it makes sense. Now that his characters are as tall as Du Qianlin's, how can he hold himself down so easily?

Unaware of the wild thoughts in Kang Wenwen's head, Du Qianlin stretched out his hand to touch the cave wall.The only light is the sky above the mouth of the well, and a small passage can barely be seen in front of my eyes.

Du Qianlin protected Kang Wenwen with one hand, and walked slowly forward while groping the cave wall with the other.

Kang Wenwen looked at the back of the man in front of him, and raised his right hand slightly in front of him...

Not moved, Kang Wenwen only felt that his man's self-esteem had been trampled on.

I am a big man and want you to be protected by a man? !Get out of the way and let me stand in front!

There was a roar in his heart, but he also knew that Du Qianlin had good intentions, so he didn't help him.It's just that compared to Du Qianlin's vigilance, Kang Wenwen behind him is completely foolish.

Du Qianlin took two steps tentatively, groping on the cave wall with his hands.Although the role of the eyes is almost gone, it also enhances the brain's response to touch.

Fumbling with his fingertips, his fingertips suddenly became empty. Du Qianlin stretched out his feet to try the way ahead, and that was...

The fingers are bent inward, and the front is a corner.

Protecting Kang Wenwen's arm behind him pressed Kang Wenwen behind him, "Follow me closely."

Kang Wenwen was a little nervous by his actions and tone, and reluctantly stretched out two fingers to tug at the corner of Du Qianlin's clothes.

Du Qianlin led Kang Wenwen to continue groping along the cave wall, and within a few steps after turning the corner, he encountered a sudden foreign object.I walked around the thing with my fingers, and it felt like a candlestick.

"What's the matter?" Kang Wen heard that Du Qianlin stopped suddenly, and asked aloud.

"There seems to be a candlestick here, have you brought matches?" Du Qianlin asked.

Kang Wenwen shook his head, "No."

The clothes are all worn by Du Qianlin, so what kind of matches do you have on your body?

There were no matches, so Du Qianlin had no choice but to go further inside.Since there is something to illuminate here, there must be a fire source to light the candlestick.

Cautiously took a few steps forward, Du Qianlin kicked something.

There was a "bang", it sounded like a jar.

Kang Wenwen also heard it, but this thing is rarely seen in reality. Suddenly hearing this sound, he couldn't tell what it was for a while.

Du Qianlin waved his finger in front, if there was nothing on it, it was just something on the ground.

Squat down and slowly reach out.

It was an earthenware jar, and the top was still stretched and sealed with a cloth.

Du Qianlin tried to lift the jar.It was very heavy, and Du Qianlin felt that he might have to stand up and use his strength to pick it up.

Du Qianlin leaned forward and smelled it. Although the whole body was full of the smell of wine, the smell of wine in this jar was not.It's not that the jar is well sealed and airtight. On the contrary, the jar is only sealed with a layer of cloth so that any smell can come out.

"Cha-"

The sudden thought of the voice startled Du Qianlin, but before he turned his head to look, it became clear in front of him.

"Where did you find it?" Du Qianlin asked.

Kang Wenwen took a single match and lit the candlestick.

"I touched it on the ground. It's just under this candlestick." He pointed to the matchbox that he opened under his feet.

"What are you doing?" Kang Wenwen asked.Now that I can see it, I can see clearly that Du Qianlin is holding a big earthen pot with both hands, and he is about to stick his face into it.

Du Qianlin wrinkled his nose slightly, "I don't know what's in it, the smell is super strange. It's like the smell of being burned by fire, and it's a bit like the smell of rotten meat."

Kang Wenwen glanced at the jar Du Qianlin was holding in his hand, and then raised his eyes to scan the hole.

In other words, this should be a cellar.The corner that Du Qianlin "touched" along the wall just now is not the corner but the open space of the cellar.

Looking at the jars piled up all over the floor in front of him, Kang Wenwen couldn't help feeling, whose territory is this?It is bigger than the 'dangerous house' I live in.The key point of sheltering from wind and rain is still warm.Except there's always another looming stench.

"You'll know if you open it and have a look." Candlelight flickered, Kang Wenwen turned his head and saw something and left without looking back, leaving this sentence to Du Qianlin.

Kang Wenwen walked to the foot of the wall on the other side, where there were two pots on the ground, but the ground under the pots was strangely black.It's not like a shadow, but it's a bit like the scorched blackness of the crematorium just now found beside the stone tablet, and this scorched blackness extends to the wall.

Kang Wenwen pushed the two jars aside, and when they were pushed away, the contents inside were shaking, and it felt like liquid.Kang Wenwen curiously opened it and smelled it, it was wine.

The top of this jar is covered with an earthenware lid, and there are some white marks on the lid and the mouth of the jar where water should be added to keep it airtight.Kang Wenwen touched it with his hand, and it was water stains.It should be dry, so the wine smell came out.

But the whole cellar is full of strong wine smell, this gap should not leak so much smell, right?

"Wen Wen." There was something wrong with Du Qianlin's voice.

Kang Wenwen turned around to look, only to see Du Qianlin frowned tightly covering his mouth and nose with the back of his hands, and turned his head to the side in disgust.

"What's wrong?" Kang Wenwen stood up and walked towards Du Qianlin.

Looking down carefully, there was a dark mass in the jar that I didn't know what it was.But there is a very conspicuous and abrupt thing inserted in it.

"This is... a bone?" Kang Wenwen couldn't help frowning.But a few long bones do not mean that what is contained here is a human corpse.

"Maybe it's marinated ribs." Kang Wenwen patted Du Qianlin's shoulder and smiled.

Look, our little comrade turned pale with fright.

Although Du Qianlin didn't quite agree with Kang Wenwen's words, he could only tell himself this to appease his churning stomach.

Kang Wenwen put on his gloves and wanted to reach in to fish, but Du Qianlin got up as soon as his face turned dark, and stood away from Kang Wenwen.

Kang Wenwen looked at Du Qianlin, and then at the unknown object in the jar.

Forget it, I didn't have the courage to reach in and stir around inside.

"Don't you think these look like burnt meat?" Du Qianlin asked.

Kang Wenwen smiled and said, "Then it is more certain that these are bacon, but it has been corrupted for too long."

Speaking of burning, Kang Wenwen looked back at the place where he had just removed the wine jar.

Getting up and walking to the ground he was looking at just now, Kang Wenwen reached out and touched the ground.

It was indeed scorched soil, touching the ground all the way to the foot of the wall.The wall was scorched black.

Looking at the pile of jars behind him, there must be forty or fifty at a glance.And except for the two wine jars at my feet, which were covered with earthenware lids, the rest were stretched with a piece of dusty red cloth.

Roasting bacon should not be done in the cellar. When the air in the cellar is insufficient, people must not stay in it. But if no one controls the bacon, how can it be guaranteed not to be burned?

So... what is being burnt here is something that someone wants to destroy or whatever.

Du Qianlin walked to Kang Wenwen's side, and he also saw the traces on the ground.After being stunned for four or five seconds, he quickly left the cellar. Kang Wenwen didn't even see his face clearly, and he stood outside.

Kang Wenwen stretched his head to look, Du Qianlin was not on the ground, just standing there where half an inch of sunlight leaked in, 'face the wall and think about the past'.

It turns out that you also have something to fear.Kang Wenwen snickered inwardly.

In fact, Kang Wenwen was a little apprehensive standing in these clay pots, but he was more curious.Curious who made these.

I casually removed the grayed red cloth on several jars, and they were all the same as the previous one.It's just that the bones inserted in it are all in different poses and with different expressions.

Kang Wenwen didn't take them all apart, he already had a bottom line in his heart.After thinking about it again and again, Kang Wenwen reached out and pulled out the bone in the jar.

These bones all looked the same, and Kang Wenwen couldn't tell whether they were human bones or animal bones.

"Du Qianlin." Kang Wenwen squatted in front of four or five jars and shouted to the outside.

After waiting for a long time, Du Qianlin came back slowly.

"what?"

Kang Wenwen pointed to the pot in front of him, and smiled sweetly, "It's too dark here, let's move these to the ground."

Du Qianlin's face was briefly empty.

"What? Take it up?" The only way to go up from here is to climb a wooden ladder from a cave on the wall of the well.If you want to bring these jars up, do you have to carry them forward?

Kang Wenwen pursed his lips and smiled secretly, "I'll pass it to you below, can you pick it up above?"

That's okay, if Du Qianlin is left alone in this cellar, will he cry?

Du Qianlin thought for a while, then nodded.

"Just take one and go up."

Kang Wenwen pouted instantly, "We can make sure that they are all the same by comparing them."

"Just take one." Du Qianlin said seriously.

"Three." Kang Wenwen bargained.

"Only take one."

"two...."

"..."

Kang Wenwen curled his lips, "Okay, just one."

Originally, Kang Wenwen wanted to carry it out by himself and wait for Du Qianlin to climb to the ground before handing it to him. Unexpectedly, Du Qianlin picked up the jar first, with a very disgusted expression on his face.

Kang Wenwen thinks that Du Qianlin is really fun. In reality, he is very cold, and his words and deeds give people the impression that he is very mature and stable, and also gives people a sense of distance, which seems difficult to get along with.But in the game he is like an ordinary person.Will be frightened, will show disgust, will stare...

Is this the contrast?

"Still leaving!" Du Qianlin's voice came from outside, and Kang Wenwen smiled helplessly.

"Here we come, what are you rushing for?"

Gently blew out the candle and followed Du Qianlin's footsteps.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Du Qianlin: Am I the reaction of a normal person?It's weird to want to reach in like Kang Wenwen.

Kang Wenwen: I don't think I'm weird. (innocent)

Du Qianlin: Before, you thought it was a normal reaction for the teacher to see the corpse running aside to vomit.

Kang Wenwen: ... You are different.

Du Qianlin frowned: What's different?

Kang Wenwen smiled and said: You are not a normal person.
