At the end of the next morning, although the sky was still dark and rumbling, Yang Xianmao naturally woke up, looked at the hourglass, sat up and said, "It's time, it's time to get up for breakfast and go!"

Bao Xiong and the others also yawned and stretched their waists to sit up one after another. Huang Qiaoqiao, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, also got up, put on a coat, and lit the lamp hanging on the roof of the tent. The dim light shone on the sleepy-eyed crowd.

Bao Xiong muttered and said, "This ghost place is really strange, you can't see the sun during the day, and it's dark and rumbling all day long, so it's like hell." - By the way, I'll have to go see if that kid freezes to death. ”

Bao Xiong got out of the tent and arrived at the sled dog, where he saw that Huang Ding had already sat up, staring blankly at the ice and snow on the ground, as if he had not woken up.

Bao Xiong said: "You kid is really strange, you really stayed outside in the ice and snow all night. A couple of sled dogs will keep you warm?"

Huang Ding yawned, and then said lazily: "It's quite comfortable to sleep like this, do you want to try it too?"

Bao Xiong listened to his voice, no longer as cold as last night, and felt better, and said, "You shouldn't talk to the boss like that." Find a chance to explain to the boss, everyone has played since childhood, and they are all brothers and sisters in life and death, and you will make it very difficult for us to do this. ”

Huang Ding nodded, walked into the tent with the cover, and after putting down the cover, he bowed to Yan Rusheng and said, "Big brother, I didn't speak right yesterday, please forgive my big brother." ”

Yan Rusheng nodded and said, "Forget it, you are actually right, there are some things between brothers and sisters that should not be taken care of too much." ――Did you sleep well yesterday? It's cold outside. ”

"It's good, it's very comfortable to sleep like this. ”

The crowd looked at him strangely.

Huang Ding found that Yu Hefei, who was lying next to his bed, was still sleeping, motionless, so he walked over, kicked him lightly in the leg, and said, "Fourth brother, it's time to get up and go." ”

Yu Hefei didn't react, he was still lying quietly, Huang Ding kicked twice, and his voice increased, but Yu Hefei still didn't move.

He was a little strange, so he squatted down and slapped him on the cheek with his hand a few times to wake him up, when he suddenly exclaimed, "Oops, why is it so cold, something is wrong!"

When Yan Rusheng heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Yu Hefei, who was lying on his side, and turned him over.

Unexpectedly, Yu Hefei's body stiffened and maintained a posture of lying on his side with his legs curled. Under Yan Rusheng's pull, the whole person turned over, his feet were still curled and stretched to the sky, his hands were kept at the side of his body, bent straight and straight in front of his chest, but his eyes were wide and had become gray and white.

Yu Hefei is dead!

Moreover, already stiffened. So when I flip it, I keep the position I was in when I was dead.

Yang Xianmao came to his side and touched the blood vessels in his neck. In fact, judging from Yu Hefei's stiff posture, he must have died, but Yang Xianmao still subconsciously checked the blood vessels in his neck, and sure enough, there was no beating.

There was a dead silence in the tent, and everyone looked at each other. Sleeping in a tent, how can you die in a good way?

Yang Xianmao had read a lot of medical records, and he knew that some people died suddenly in their sleep, so suddenly that the people next to him didn't even feel it. But Yu Hefei's death was really too sudden, was he suddenly killed or murdered?

Yang Xianmao said to Feng Qiuyu: "I'll check the cause of his death to see how he died, and whether someone harmed him." ”

Feng Qiuyu nodded, put on his fur coat, turned around and walked out of the tent. Huang Qiaoqiao also took his fur coat and went out of the tent.

Yang Xianmao took off Yu Hefei's clothes and pants all over his body, and checked them from head to toe, and found that there were no injuries on his body surface, no pinch marks on his neck, and no vomit or poison in his mouth.

Yang Xianmao said to Yan Rusheng: "I have to perform an autopsy on him in order to finally determine the cause of his death." ”

Yan Rusheng said: "Okay, you do it, you must find out how he died." He's our sworn brother, and we have to find out if he died of illness or if someone else did it. ”

Before Yang Xianmao entered the ice field, he had taken out a set of surgical equipment, including night lighting equipment and medicines, from the storage bag, and put it in a special box and placed it on the sleigh cart. I went out immediately, took my box from the car and re-entered the tent.

Yang Xianmao took out the scalpel, glanced at Yan Rusheng and Bao Xiong who were squatting on both sides, and then without saying a word, made a girl-shaped incision from Yu Hefei's shoulders to his stomach. The incision layer is then pulled apart to the sides.

Looking inside, the three of them couldn't help but gasp, looked at each other, and couldn't make a sound for a long time.

I saw that the liver, stomach, spleen, kidneys, and intestines in Yu Hefei's abdomen were all shrunk and dried up, like a dried corpse exposed to the dry desert.

After staying for a while, Yang Xianmao used bone forceps to cut off Yu Hefei's sternum, opened the chest cavity, and completely exposed the lungs and heart.

Like his stomach and intestines, his lungs and heart are also completely withered and shriveled, no different from a dried corpse.

However, judging from the surface of his body, the skin of his body and the muscles on his face did not have any symptoms of dehydration, which was no different from the death of a normal person, so why did the internal organs of his chest and abdomen completely dry up?

Moreover, the place they are in now is on the ocean mille-feuille ice field, which is extremely cold, and can keep the corpses hydrated, not in the desert, why is this the case when there are desert dry corpses in the internal organs?

Yan Rusheng was stunned for a long time before he said, "What kind of kung fu can make people's internal organs look like this on the rivers and lakes?"

Bao Xiong shook his head and said: "I have only heard of the cattle that do not hurt the surface of the body but can smash people's internal organs, but I have really never heard of those who smoke people's internal organs into dried corpses." Could it be that a cultivator with special mana will do it?"

Huang Ding, who was standing behind them, suddenly said: "Impossible, there is no way to exert the mana of cultivation on this ice field, and all the cultivation masters are wasted here." If you want me to say, the fourth brother was not killed by a martial arts master, but was sucked dry by a ghost to drain his yang energy, so it would be like this. ”

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and looked at him together.

Huang Ding said: "When I was a child, I heard from the old people in the village that ghosts would suck people's yang energy. If the yang energy is sucked dry, people will become like dried corpses. ”

Bao Xiong said: "I've also heard about this, but if you inhale yang qi and turn into a dry corpse, the whole person becomes a dry corpse, not only the internal organs become dry, besides, in broad daylight, what the hell is there?"

As soon as he finished saying this, he felt that it was wrong, there was really nothing to talk about here, day and night, it was all black and rumbling. I can't even see the sun, where does it come from in broad daylight. Isn't this where ghosts flourish?

He felt a chill down his spine, as if someone was blowing on the back of his neck, and he quickly turned his head to look, but there was nothing behind him.

Yan Rusheng glared at Huang Ding and said, "Don't say that these ghost things are scary, there must be other reasons for his death." ”

"Is there any other explanation other than the demon draining his yang energy? It must be a ghost, while I slept outside, my bunk was empty, and the fourth brother slept next to me again, so he lay down on my bunk, slowly inhaled his yang energy, and sucked the yang energy in his body dry, and he became a dry corpse. People who have been sucked yang energy are like this. ”

Yan Rusheng was a little irritable, and said, "I told you not to talk about these ghosts, and you also said! If it is a ghost, why do you just suck his yang energy and not us?"

Huang Ding smiled, and said word by word: "Yes, if it is a ghost, he will suck up our yang energy one by one." ”

This made everyone's hair stand on end.

Yan Rusheng sighed helplessly and said to Yang Xianmao: "You sew up his wound, let's wrap him in cloth and put him on the sleigh car, we can't throw him here, we have to take him back to his hometown." ”

Yang Xianmao silently sewed the incision of the corpse, put on his clothes and pants, and then Bao Xiong brought a piece of white cloth, wrapped the corpse tightly, tied it with a belt, and carried it out of the tent with Huang Ding. Because the corpse was already stiff, like a piece of dry firewood.

Feng Qiuyu and Huang Qiaoqiao were next to the sled dogs outside the tent, and when they saw them carrying the corpses out, they both walked over. Feng Qiuyu asked, "How is it?"

Huang Ding hurriedly said: "The fourth brother was sucked dry of yang qi by the ghost and died, and his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, stomach and intestines all shriveled and dried up like a dried corpse. It must be a ghost, only a ghost can quietly enter the tent to suck his yang energy, otherwise who can do it?"

Yan Rusheng didn't want to let the ghost talk spread among them, that would make people panic, so he glared at Huang Ding fiercely and said, "Why don't you say it?"

Feng Qiuyu was a little creepy when she heard this, looked at Yang Xianmao, and said, "Is this the case?"

Yang Xianmao shook his head and said, "I don't know. I've never encountered anything like this. I've dissected countless corpses, and I've never seen anything like this. So, I don't know what caused his internal organs to atrophy and dry up. As for whether it's a ghost or not, I'm not sure. ”

Indeed, what Huang Ding said has some truth. The tents were full of strong men with martial arts, and it was impossible for them not to know if someone sneaked into the tent. Because on this ice field, the mana has been imprisoned, and those who are high and high can only walk honestly on their feet, and there is no way to use the mana of cultivation, and there is no way to make people's internal organs so dry by ordinary martial arts. Therefore, apart from ghosts, Yang Xianmao could not find a more suitable reason to explain everything that happened in front of him.

Hearing Yang Xianmao say this, Yan Rusheng was silent, and watched Bao Xiong and Huang Ding tie Yu Hefei's body to the sleigh cart, and then he sighed and said, "Let's quickly pack up our things and leave here." ”

After packing up their things and driving the dog sled, the group continued their journey north.

I took two breaks halfway through, cooked beef and ate cakes on a raw stove, and then continued on my way.

The sky was still pitch black, and it was only slightly brighter by noon. After noon, the sunlight that had diffused into the sky below the horizon was gone, and the sky was filled with stars again.
