Jiao Xuan's subordinates forced, pulled it apart with one knife, and then another knife, and soon there was a blur of flesh and blood on the long table.
Such a scene is reflected in the middle of the night, and if it suddenly makes people bump into it, I am afraid that I will think that I have hit the evil. But Jiao Xuan, who was holding a knife, did not see the slightest fear on his face.
In the same way, there was no excitement or excitement in his eyes.
His eyes were extremely calm, as if what was lying in front of him at the moment was not a corpse. The skin he had cut under his hand had no soul.
It makes no difference whether the meat on the chopping board is beef or sheep, chicken, duck or fish or shrimp.
As far as he is concerned, when a person dies, he is no longer human.
A raised hand, and the knife in his hand refracted a blinding light. Jiao Xuan subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he threw the knife in his hand to the ground.
This one is still not suitable.
Jiao Xuan looked solemnly at the corpse on the long table.
In the exposed chest, the blood has slowly coagulated. The heart, which represents vitality and vitality, has long since stopped beating, and now lies there quietly, like a dirty stone.
Jiao Xuan took another knife and took out the heart in front of him and put it in the tray on the side.
He has never been able to understand why people's hearts are born like this. Why isn't it round like a bead, why isn't it another color.
He also didn't understand why the liver, spleen and kidneys had to be born in their current positions.
What happens if you move the liver to the heart?
Jiao Xuan stood in front of the tray, his head down, his eyes squinted, and in the bright light as day, he carefully looked at the heart on the tray.
This corpse is still fresh.
With this heart, it looks quite soft.
Jiao Xuan raised his hand, grabbed it, and suddenly pinched it hard. The feeling coming from the palm of your hand is not soft. The human heart is not as fragile and thin as it seems.
If it were alive, it would be beating and it would be an extremely powerful thing.
Jiao Xuan let go of his hand and squeezed it again.
This corpse died of illness, and it was said that he died suddenly, and he didn't know why, but now he was holding this heart, but he vaguely understood the cause of death.
He has seen many of the human organs.
Some people's livers are black, some people's lungs are deflated, and the corpse lying in front of him at this moment has a swollen heart.
He grasped it firmly, and he could clearly feel a different touch under his knuckles. This heart was bigger than anything he had ever seen before. He also knew at a glance that this was an unusual size.
Jiao Xuan squinted his eyes and pondered for a while.
He gently lowered the heart in his hand, and instead took a knife as thin as a cicada's wing, and slashed it with force.
……
Half an hour later, Jiao Xuan dropped the knife and cleaned his hands again.
It took another quarter of an hour to wipe it finger by finger.
By the time he pushed the door open and walked out on crutches, the sky outside was as dark as a cloud of ink. He stood outside the door, glanced at the stone lantern in front of the path, and then at the dense flowers and plants beside the road, and suddenly said, "The flowers in the west are not blooming very well." ”
The entourage, who had been waiting quietly for a long time, heard the words, and hurriedly tiptoed to look to the west.
Sure enough, the flowers over there didn't bloom as vigorously as the rest of the place.
The entourage pondered and said softly: "I'm afraid the flowering period is about to pass." ”
Jiao Xuan smiled, shook his head and ordered, "Let people pack up their things." ”
The attendant hurriedly responded.
Jiao Xuanmo held the snake head carved on the cane, raised his foot and walked over the stone lantern towards the path. But after only about four or five steps, he suddenly turned his head again and said, "Half to the west, half to here." ”
The attendant's gaze followed the cane he raised to the flowers and trees, and lowered his head to answer "yes".
Jiao Xuan seemed to be satisfied and continued to walk forward.
Every few days, he had to ask people to find a corpse, and he didn't do anything else but cut it open to see what the human heart was like and what the human liver was like. A person's eyes are gouged out to know what they look like.
He racked his brain to find out why people died.
What is the difference between young and old? Why do people age, and what should they do if they want to stay young forever?
He had all this kind of question in his mind.
His mind was full of confusion, and no one could answer it for him but himself.
Jiao Xuan slowly moved forward, his crutches on the cobblestones, making a crisp "grab" sound.
He drifted away, the light behind him faded.
In the blink of an eye, the deep darkness on the horizon seemed to be white.
The night before dawn is always the darkest.
Jiao Xuan returned to the room and slept as sweetly as usual. He had something on his mind, but he fell asleep and left it all behind. Man's sleep is so important that he never asks himself to sleep a quarter of an hour less.
However, when I left the National Teacher's Mansion, there were many people who tossed and turned, and it was difficult to fall asleep.
Xue Huaijian is one.
Taiwei is also one.
She went home late at night, and went to bathe with strong spirits, obviously very tired, but when she lay down on the bed, she didn't feel sleepy at all. So she lay there alone, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The night was getting darker and quieter.
Only the sound of her breathing and heartbeat echoed in the room that was gradually brightening.
She thought about it in a daze, and her temples jumped at the thought.
Suddenly, Changxi's voice sounded outside the tent calling her up: "Girl, it's time to get up." ”
Taiwei turned over and sat up, reaching out to pick up the tent. The room was already bright, and the white light came in, so that she couldn't help but close her eyes.
It's sour and rising, and I can't open my eyes.
She still clutched the rain-blue tent in her hand, and sat still.
Changxi was stunned for a moment, then leaned forward and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
As usual, when she called outside the tent, Taiwei would get up on her own, never hesitating for a moment. But today, Taiwei didn't sleep all night, had a headache, his eyes hurt, and his whole body was uncomfortable.
After a while, Taiwei opened her eyes and said, "Go and fetch a basin of water, it's going to be cold." ”
Changxi didn't know why, he glanced back at the water basin not far away, the water in it was moderately hot, the temperature used by the girls when they were plain and clean, and Taiwei was no exception.
Changxi couldn't help frowning suspiciously.
After a while, she came in with a basin of cold water, and was about to ask her girl what she was doing, when she saw Taiwei coming barefoot and asked her to put the basin down.
Then, Taiwei stood in front of the basin, lowered her head, and buried her whole face in the water.
Changxi stood on the side, and was startled when he saw this, and saw that she didn't move for a while, and he unconsciously lifted his heart.
