Chapter 5: Strange Bones
Hearing the shouts of the flower shirt, the two hurriedly turned around, only to see the flower shirt standing on the edge of the pit, with a look of a ghost, due to excessive fright, the mobile phone was thrown away, and they almost turned around and ran.
Seeing this situation, the two walked to the edge of the pit with doubts, if the coffin was a dead person's bones, the flower shirt would never be frightened like this, because he already knew that there was a dead person in the coffin before taking the picture, so it can be seen that this guy is likely to see something unexpected.
However, judging from the details of the flower shirt running without turning around, the contents of the coffin were no more frightening to the flower shirt than being intimidated and breaking his legs.
Seeing the two of them walking this way, the flower shirt beckoned eagerly, "Come and see, you come and see." β
"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
"Your master, your master ......" the flower shirt stopped talking.
Wu Zhongyuan was originally puzzled, but when he saw the expression of the flower shirt, he became more and more puzzled, the reason why this guy was spitting out was undoubtedly considering the vocabulary, lest the improper use of words offend the master of the two, which also shows that the coffin is still a human corpse, could it be that the coffin is a male corpse that has not decomposed?
Eager to know the truth, Wu Zhongyuan walked quickly, looked down at the edge of the pit, frowned at a glance, it turned out that his guess was not right, the coffin was not an undecayed corpse, but a rotten corpse, this corpse is an adult male corpse, which is ninety percent similar to humans, the difference is in the face, to be exact, the mouth, it is not right to say the mouth, because the corpse in the coffin is not a human mouth, but a bird's beak, about ten centimeters long, grayish yellow, sharp and sharp, and the beak of the eagle falcon bird of prey is very similar.
At the same time that Wu Zhongyuan looked down, Lin Qingming was also doing the same thing, looking at the situation in the coffin, the two looked at each other suspiciously, the corpse in the coffin was indeed weird, and it was no wonder that the flower shirt would be frightened.
At this moment, Hua Shirt still thinks that the bones in the coffin are the masters of the two, "How did your master become...... Oh, I know, your master is a Taoist priest, and this is feathered into an immortal. β
If you deny that this corpse is not the master, it will involve the real burial place of the master, Wu Zhongyuan was still worried, and when he heard the flower shirt say this, he immediately got off the donkey down the slope and threw a secretive look at the flower shirt, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." β
"Yes, yes, yes, I know. The flower shirt nodded repeatedly.
The engine was so noisy that the excavator driver couldn't hear what the two were saying, but when he saw that the three of them looked different, he curiously leaned out of the cab and wanted to see the situation at the bottom of the pit.
Seeing this, Hua Shirt hurriedly shouted loudly, "Look at the dead are going to be unlucky, go in, go in." β
Drove the gangsters back to the cab, and looked at Wu Zhongyuan with an inquiring look.
Because the wound on his head had been bleeding slowly, Wu Zhongyuan was a little dizzy, and he had no intention of delaying the investigation, so he waved his hand at the flower shirt and "bury it again." β
"My phone. The flower shirt pointed to the coffin in the pit, because he was too nervous before, the mobile phone fell off his hand when taking pictures, and it happened to fall into the coffin.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't want to go down, "Even if you pick it up, can you still use it?"
As soon as Wu Zhongyuan's voice fell, Lin Qingming's voice came from the side, "Come here." β
Wu Zhongyuan turned around and walked over, and when he approached, Lin Qingming pointed to the half-cut coffin lid hanging on the digging bucket and scratched the teeth, and motioned him to look carefully.
After looking at it, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Lin Qingming suspiciously, coffins are rare now, few people are familiar with this kind of thing, but the two of them know this thing very well, just because the master had built a coffin for himself in front of the two of them before his death, according to the five elements of yin and yang, iron is a murderer, so the coffin can not be used nails, it has to be fixed with mortise and tenon, the mortise and tenon on the coffin lid is a kind of golden nanmu, and the coffin cover itself is a local oak wood, which is the same material used when the master built the coffin for himself, and the style of the mortise and tenon is also the same, which shows that this coffin is likely to be buried by the master when he was aliveγ
The two of them didn't know who the bones in the coffin were, and what their relationship was with the master, because the master had never mentioned it before his death.
After a short look at each other, Lin Qingming glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, and the two of them worked together to remove the half of the coffin lid from the digging bucket and carry it to the side of the earthen pit.
"Cell phone. The flower shirt was still thinking about his phone.
"Don't ask for it, just give it to my master. Wu Zhongyuan was reluctant to help him retrieve it, mainly because he was afraid that the mobile phone of the shirt had taken a photo before he took it off.
"Yes, if anyone calls me, he must not answer it. The flower shirt cried with a sad face.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't bother to answer, leaned down to the bottom of the pit, picked up the mobile phone, wanted to put it in his pocket temporarily, and found a white jade-like thing in the coffin at a glance, so he threw the mobile phone to the flower shirt on it, and took advantage of the time when the flower shirt was connected to the mobile phone, picked up the white thing and put it in his pocket.
He did this purely out of curiosity, Lin Qingming naturally saw it, but he didn't stop it, and jumped down to reclose the coffin lid with him.
After jumping out of the pit, Wu Zhongyuan stumbled again, the stick on his head was quite seriously injured, and although he was simply bandaged, the wound was still bleeding slowly.
Lin Qingming stretched out his hand to support Wu Zhongyuan, turned his head to look at the flower shirt, "Turn on the phone." β
Hua Yi vaguely guessed what Lin Qingming wanted to see, hurriedly entered the password, and handed over the mobile phone, "I didn't shoot, I didn't shoot, I can't leak it." β
Lin Qingming didn't answer, and after confirming, he returned the phone to the flower shirt.
After taking the mobile phone, the flower shirt turned around and shouted, and the excavator began to fill the soil, this big guy dug fast, filled fast, and the backfill was completed after dividing by two in three times.
The flower shirt was weak and timid, and after the pit was filled, his hands were folded, and he shook the position of the coffin again and again.
"The two trees were cut and removed, and they were all turned over within 100 meters. Lin Qingming said in a deep voice.
Hua Yi agreed with his mouth, and he didn't ask why, because he knew that Lin Qingming did this because he didn't want others to know the specific location of the burial of the two masters, but he didn't know that it was not the master of the two in the coffin just now.
The excavator was busy, and the two went to the ruins of the house, rummaging through the utensils for usable things.
Wu Zhongyuan lost too much blood and had no strength, and after moving a few stones, he felt exhausted, so he sat down from a corner of the ruins.
The flower shirt bowed from the east, and ran over to the ruins, and then leaned over to Wu Zhongyuan's side with a shy face, "Hehe, hehe, little brother, ah no, little Taoist, little Taoist, I'm really blind, I collided with the gods, I'll pay more, don't you think it's okay?"
"Are you afraid of retribution?" Wu Zhongyuan is not angry, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he will not be polite to the person who demolishes his house, not to mention that he is not a good temper in the first place.
"Afraid, afraid. The flower shirt nodded awkwardly.
"Demolishing the houses of the living and digging up the graves of the dead are the most damaging things, and if you really believe in retribution, you shouldn't earn this kind of money that cuts off children and grandchildren. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wu Zhongyuan said harshly, and the flower shirt trembled with fright, in fact, he didn't believe in any retribution before, but now he believes it, and the reason why he believes it is because he saw the corpse with a bird's beak, in his opinion, this vision coincides with the legend of the Taoist priest who died and ascended to immortal, feathering, isn't it becoming a bird, at least he thinks so.
"I'll have someone send me money right away. "The only way to atone for sins can be thought of is to give money.
Wu Zhongyuan was a little moved, people care about what they need, in all fairness, the two of them do need money.
Wu Zhongyuan hesitated, but Lin Qingming did not hesitate, "What should be given to us cannot be less." If it's not ours, we don't want a cent. β
Hearing Lin Qingming's words, Hua Yi became more and more frightened, and he also found that Wu Zhongyuan was better at talking than Lin Qingming, so he looked at him with pleading eyes.
Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to the side and didn't look at the flower shirt. Although the two are only three years apart, he listens to Lin Qingming's words very much, since Lin Qingming said that he didn't want it, then he definitely can't ask for it.
"Trail Chief. The flower shirt was fearful, and he rushed at Wu Zhongyuan.
Seeing that he was almost frightened, Wu Zhongyuan opened his mouth, "Okay, don't be afraid, seeing the light once will not affect the master's feathering, if the bones see the light again, you will wait for the disaster to the descendants." β
When the flower shirt heard this, she was both happy and scared, "Don't worry, from now on, I will send someone to watch it every day." β
"Are you afraid that people won't be suspicious?" Wu Zhongyuan shook his head helplessly.
"What then?" the flower shirt was dazed.
"Alright, alright, you can do it. Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand impatiently.
While the two were talking, Lin Qingming had been rummaging through the ruins, almost all the things that could be used at home were smashed, and he didn't pick out anything, the only harvest was a bundle of books, more than a dozen large and small.
Lin Qingming walked out of the ruins and put the bundle of books beside Wu Zhongyuan, "I don't have time to read, and there is no place to put it in the mine, you can take it." β
"Where did you come from?" Wu Zhongyuan patted the dust on the book.
"It probably fell from the ceiling. Lin Qingming said casually.
When I had to pat off the dust on it, I saw that the top was a thread-bound "Tao Te Ching", which should be a bundle of Taoist scriptures collected by the master when he was alive.
"Brother, I'm a little tired, let's go. Wu Zhongyuan said that in fact, he was not tired, but mentally ill caused by excessive blood loss.
Lin Qingming nodded and walked to the motorcycle, Wu Zhongyuan carried the bundle of scriptures and walked behind.
"Are you leaving?" said the flower shirt.
"Why do you still want to keep us for dinner?" Wu Zhongyuan was not angry.
"I'm afraid that the two of you won't appreciate your face. The flower shirt sneered.
"You're right. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Lin Qingming started the motorcycle, Wu Zhongyuan sat on it, and the motorcycle went down the mountain and went east.
Seeing the two of them go down the mountain, the flower shirt turned around and shouted at the excavator, "Just grab a piece of ground, you really have to dig three feet into the ground, hurry up and finish it and leave quickly, it's really eight lifetimes of blood mold." β
After a short time, the motorcycle left the village road and got on the town road, Wu Zhongyuan said, "Brother, what did you say was that thing in the coffin?
"Master didn't tell us before he died, he just didn't want us to know, so don't ask. Lin Qingming said.
Wu Zhongyuan couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and said, "Have you found that the person was buried naked? If you are wearing clothes, it is impossible to rot without any traces." β
"What did you take from the coffin?" Lin Qingming asked without answering.
Wu Zhongyuan took out the white thing from his pocket and looked at it carefully, this thing was oblate, the shape was not very regular, and the surface was very smooth.
"A small pebble, or it could be jade. Wu Zhongyuan handed it to Lin Qingming.
Lin Qingming was not interested, and he rode a motorcycle without squinting, "Don't take dead people's things in the future." β
"Oh. Wu Zhongyuan responded.
When he arrived in the town, Lin Qingming found a health center and re-treated the wound for Wu Zhongyuan, the wound was deep and long, and he needed stitches, but the stitches needed to shave his head, Wu Zhongyuan was ugly and refused, and finally just eliminated the disinfection and stopped the bleeding.
After a simple meal from the town, Lin Qingming rode a borrowed motorcycle back to the mine, and Wu Zhongyuan took the stack of broken books and got on the bus back to the county seat.
Not long after getting into the car, Wu Zhongyuan fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, I was surprised to find that I was no longer on the bus, but lying on a hospital bed.
The ward was very large, only his bed, and there were doctors and nurses standing around the bed, all of whom were quite old, and there were more than a dozen of them in a circle.
"Why am I here?" Wu Zhongyuan sat up in confusion.
"You're on an infusion, don't move," said an old nurse with two bars on his hat, "You fainted in the car, and the driver took you to the hospital." β
"Oh. Wu Zhongyuan nodded, and after nodding, he found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, "What do you think I do?"
No one answered.
Wu Zhongyuan was a little nervous under the strange gaze of everyone, if it was just a simple external injury, it would be impossible for so many doctors to come, "Did I have any bad problems?"
"Not really," a tall and thin old doctor walked to Wu Zhongyuan's bedside, "young man, let me ask you something." β
"What?" Wu Zhongyuan became more and more nervous, because he could see that although the old doctor spoke very kindly, he was very excited.
"Have you had a blood test since you were a child......
