186.Chapter 186: Burial!
Chenghai City, on the banks of the Qing River, upstream. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sky is gray and drizzling, and an excavator and a man dressed as a worker are shoveling dirt and clearing roadblocks from a landslide that has collapsed.
A man in a yellow hard hat looked up at the sky, wiped the muddy water off his face, and scolded: "What the hell is the weather, is this a human job?"
Controlling the excavator is a young man with a hearty smile on his face, although he is gray-headed, but he also looks handsome.
He smiled lightly: "Lao Qiu, we haven't opened for half a month, and you still hate it when you have work to do." ”
"If you haven't worked for a long time, who wants to do this in this damn weather. Lao Qiu said with a sludge on his face.
"I've heard that there's more to this than just a landslide, and I've heard that there's a dead man floating out of the mountain, and that dead man is in a vat. Xiao Yi said while controlling the excavator.
"What's strange about this, there are many columbarium altars dug up in the old mountain, and there are some places where antiques can be dug up. "Old Autumn Road.
"But I heard that the dead man did not seem to have died here before, the corpse was still fresh, and the most terrifying thing was that the internal organs of the corpse had been hollowed out. Xiao Yi said in fear.
"What did you hear, it sounds a bit evil. Lao Qiu said after a pause.
"My cousin worked at the police station, and when he found the body a few days ago, he also sent a large number of police forces to Qinghe to find other bodies, but only two empty jars were found, and no bodies were found. Xiao Yi said.
"Do you mean that the corpse was rolled into the river from the place we dug now?" said Lao Qiu's face changed slightly.
"My cousin said it was here, so it was up to him to get this order, and if we could find other vats by digging up the landslide here, maybe we would have another reward. Xiao Yi said.
"I'll go, then this trip doesn't seem to be very auspicious. Lao Qiu looked at the large collapsed mountain and said.
"Lao Qiu, you said such things, I feel very uncomfortable, don't scare me, what is unlucky. Xiao Yi said with a furious heart.
"Look around this mountain, is there anyone other than the two of us, and then look at this gray sky, I always feel like something bad is happening, and when I wake up in the morning, my right eyelid keeps jumping again, my left eye jumps for wealth, and my right eye jumps for disaster, I don't think this trip is really a good job. Lao Qiu said as if he had a lot of experience.
Xiao Yi's speed of controlling the excavator slowed down, and he looked around the gray with palpitations, feeling as if something was lurking in the haze in the distance.
"When I was very young, I heard of a kind of man-eating ghost, which was very terrifying, and specially ate people's internal organs, leaving a pair of skin ......",
"Lao Qiu, can you still let me work hard, it's hard to open and work, especially now I'm almost scared of you. Xiao Yi said unhappily.
"Looks like you mentioned it first, hehe. Lao Qiu smiled dryly, as if he was teasing Xiao Yi.
"I'm joking with you, I'm scared, how can there be any cannibals in this world!"
Xiao Yi glared at Lao Qiu, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"Karma !!"
At this moment, the big bucket of the excavator seemed to have dug something hard in the soil, and there was a sound of glass jars colliding.
The two of them were stunned at the same time, and their faces immediately became excited.
"It seems to be the sound of a wine vat!" said Lao Qiu excitedly.
As long as they can find a wine vat, they can get more money from the previous dollars, so why not?
"Quick, dig it up. Lao Qiu said excitedly.
Xiao Yi was a little scared, but he still controlled the excavator, carefully digging up the soil from the last time, almost touching the surface of the wine tank and digging up all the soil on the upper layer.
Soon a wine jar more than half a man tall and could only be hugged with his hands together appeared in the middle of the dirt slope.
"It's really a wine jar. Xiao Yi said strangely, for some reason he had a very bad feeling in his heart.
Lao Qiu is different, in his opinion, the things that roll down with the landslide on this mountain must be treasures, whether there are corpses in it or not, the things in the wine jar must be antiques.
He grew up in this area when he was a child, and he heard when he was very young that in some places in ancient times, there were some customs to bury the living in the wine vat, and then bury them in the mountain, this kind of room is simple and convenient, and there is no need to burn people into ashes, and there is no need to put people in coffins, because after death, even if the things in the wine vat are turned into ashes, they can be completely preserved, and it is said that this kind of tank burial method will also have some gold and silver jewelry and other burials.
Lao Qiu didn't tell Xiao Yi about what he had heard before, but turned his head to Xiao Yi and said, "You are looking to see if there is a wine vat in other places, I'll study this thing." ”
Xiao Yi responded, and didn't pay much attention to it, he looked at the sky and saw that it was already a little late, and he had to speed up, otherwise he wouldn't be able to clean the road in the middle of the night.
Lao Qiu cleaned up the surface of the dug wine tank, and immediately saw some strange patterns and patterns on the surface of the old wine tank, and he couldn't understand it very well after looking at it for a long time.
At the top of the vat was a thick cloth, and the gaps were sealed with cement, but it seemed that the time was a little old, and this thick cloth was a little rotten, revealing the black cover inside.
Lao Qiu was so excited in his heart, if there were really antiques in this jar of wine, then he would really be rich, who cares about the thousand yuan.
Lao Qiu picked up a small shovel and pried it open along the gap sealed by the cement.
Soon the seal was opened, Lao Qiu threw the small shovel aside, and the whole person looked closely into the wine tank, and at first there was a black gas gushing out of it, the smell was very pungent, and there was a certain foul smell.
Lao Qiu fanned the black gas in front of his face with his hand, Lao Qiu knew that this was all corpse gas, and this wine jar didn't know how many years it had been sealed, and the corpse inside might have rotted into bones, and the gas did not circulate, so it would naturally become corpse gas.
He was also very patient, slowly waiting for the corpse to dissipate, and when he could gradually see the situation in the wine vat, the first thing that caught his eye was not the skeleton, but a bubbling and wrinkled corpse, the corpse was holding his knees with his hands, curled up in the wine vat, without a single piece of clothing on his body, looking like a soaked dead pig, very disgusting.
Lao Qiu gasped, it seemed to be a little different from what he thought.
However, he waited for a while, and found that the corpse inside could not move, it was a dead thing, and he poked the white-haired corpse with a small shovel.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked into the vat again, and under the whitish corpse, there was something golden that caught Lao Qiu's attention.
"Golden ...... Gold!" Lao Qiu opened his mouth, looking at the golden jewelry shining with gold in disbelief, and his heart was very itchy.
Lao Qiu glanced at Xiao Yi, who was still busy, a selfish smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then leaned down and stretched out his hand to wipe the golden ornament under the dead man.
Lao Qiu was really bold, but what he didn't expect was that just as he was possessing and stretching out his hand, the curled dead man suddenly turned his rotten and wrinkled head and stared at Lao Qiu's body with an evil expression.
