Chapter 20: The Corpse Locusts (2)

After listening to Xiaopang's description of the method of cracking the corpse poison of the corpse locust, Uncle Hai scolded again: "You little Wang Ba Lamb, don't you let us go to death according to this method? Wang Fatzi is an extremely unreliable person, can he write any ghost book that can be reliable? Lie down in the corpse locust swarm? It is not a loach and tofu, and it doesn't take a lot of urine to suck our blood dry." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 He thought it was sweet and sour fish. Has Wang Fatzi tried this method himself? I don't know where it came from. If I want to go to you, I won't send you to death, isn't it just that I'm afraid of wound infection? When I was young, Honghai also traveled from south to north to mingle, I haven't suffered any hardships, I haven't seen any injuries, what is this little grasshopper, even if it is what kind of corpse locust you say, it is a little poisonous, I Honghai also has a way to treat it, I don't believe in Wang Fatzi's ghost method of making false mysteries. ”

Uncle Hai said, and asked Amei to bring the medicine box and prepare to disinfect and treat the wound by himself.

"Uncle Hai, listen to the advice of people to eat a full meal, I made you say it as if you want to harm you, if you don't listen to my method, don't regret what happens in the future. Chubby said deliberately.

Uncle Hai is a very conceited person, and when he heard Xiaopang say this, he was even more energetic, jumping to his feet and scolding: "You little Wang Balamb, I Honghai still use you to teach you a lesson? I have good medicine here, imported from the United States, not to mention this small wound, no matter how big the infection is, I am not afraid. You should still send yourself to death according to Wang Fatzi's unreliable local method. ”

"Okay, okay, Uncle Hai, don't worry, just make a chop soup with my kindness, then you can do it yourself. Treasure. Treasure. The little fat man wished that Uncle Hai would suffer a loss, he was so good-looking, so he no longer raised the bar, and deliberately pretended to be helpless.

Uncle Hai also ignored Xiaopang, and first asked Ah Mei to take out iodine wine from the medicine box, and disinfected the wound inside and out. Sprinkled some white powder on the wound, bandaged it with gauze, and then injected a shot of "Immediately Eliminated" that is said to be imported from the United States to prevent and treat various viral infections, and finally took three tablets of "Baizhuqing", and took two pills of bezoar antidote pills, which reassured me.

Amei and Xiangzi helped Uncle Hai find a clean place to sit down, and Uncle Hai was sulking while drinking fruit vinegar.

Xiaopang thought that we would have to rely on Uncle Hai's fruit vinegar at night just in case, so he pulled the words back. Taking the initiative to go over to accompany Uncle Hai is not to say good things, what kind of person is Xiaopang, all the time and coaxing, Uncle Hai flickered to the sky again, and after a while, he smiled happily, reconciled with Xiaopang as before, and regarded Xiaopang as a close confidant.

We cleaned the room just in case. He sprinkled fruit vinegar at the door of the house, and prepared a few bottles and put them beside him. After some tossing. Everyone else can't sleep, only Chubby doesn't care about anything, it's really a good smell of eating and sleeping no matter what the situation is, and it will be on fire after a while, snoring and snoring.

I managed to endure the night, but luckily nothing else happened. The east gradually revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

After dawn, Zhang Meng and I went to the shop in the west of the village and bought two large gasoline barrels and vinegar back. Although this small village is poor, there is still no shortage of vinegar. The old man with the goatee who was the owner of the shop was still very cold to us and liked to ignore us. Just sell us stuff and don't say a word of other nonsense.

These two gasoline barrels of vinegar are thirty catties, which is enough for us. On the way back from the store, Zhang Meng's eyes were sharp, and he saw a figure flashing past from a front intersection, Zhang Meng said that looking at the figure was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, I looked over there in the direction that Zhang Meng said, but I didn't see anyone, Zhang Meng thought for a while, and said that it could be a villager in the village, probably he saw it badly.

Zhang Meng and I worked hard to get these two barrels of vinegar back.

After getting the vinegar back, I, Xiaopang, and Zhang Meng were bitten by corpse locusts, alone in a room, let others avoid it, and dealt with it according to the method recorded in the "Tomb Robbery Manual", carefully smeared the whole body with vinegar, and did not miss anything at all, and then plugged the seven orifices with cotton dipped in vinegar, of course, the nose, eyes, and mouth were kept first, so as to act, and then deal with it then.

Although Uncle Hai was also bitten by a corpse locust, he didn't believe in Wang Fatzi's method, and he didn't want to follow the method in the "Tomb Robbery Manual".

After we used vinegar to protect our whole body, we told Ame to ignore it, and then the three of us were naked, and Lao Zhang and Xiangzi helped us, with the necessary equipment, and came to the karez.

Strange to say, those corpse locusts really looked "well-trained", and there was not a single one left in the courtyard or next to the qanats, as if nothing had happened last night.

We walked through the gap in the stone pile next to the qanaq, and came to the wellhead, which was completely different from the wellhead of the hinterland, with no edge and no wheel, because it did not directly throw the bucket down to fetch water, but needed people to go down to get water.

Because of the drought in Xinjiang, the surface of the land cannot retain rainwater, and the groundwater is not abundant, so the working people, after thousands of years of experience, have come up with a way, they collect rainwater or other natural water and store it underground, and then transport the water underground through natural or artificial culverts and ditches for irrigation and drinking. Since water is stored and transported underground, although the surface temperature is high, the culverts in the underground remain in a constant low temperature state all year round, so that the water does not evaporate easily.

Therefore, the wellhead of the qanats is actually an opening leading to the underground culvert.

We looked down at the wellhead, because the sunlight was very strong, we could see about four or five meters, and then we couldn't see clearly, the black hole was empty, so it can be seen that the depth of this qanats should be quite deep.

The wellhead of the qanats is generally relatively small, in order to prevent the loss of water stored below, the diameter of the wellhead of this qanats is about 50 centimeters, which can be used by an adult to go up and down, but Xiaopang is more laborious, I don't know if he can get in.

Although the wellhead is small, it becomes more spacious the further down the well, and there are stone steps under the wellhead. Chubby took the lead, the first to go down, just halfway down. The body was stuck at the wellhead, we held his head, and after a long time, we finally stuffed the little fat into the well, and squeezed the little fat into the well, squeezing the little fat squeak.

"Damn, these guys are really slammery. It's a lot of effort to make a wellhead so small," Chubby complained below.

We laughed at it, and said that the locals don't eat as fat and big ears as you.

Then, Zhang Meng and I also went down the stone steps down the wellhead, and when Zhang Meng went down, the wellhead was still half rich, which shows how big the difference between him and Xiaopang is in terms of figure.

Xiangzi and Lao Zhang were waiting at the mouth of the well to pick us up in case of accidents.

The stone steps were slippery, and there used to be a rope for hand gripping next to it, but now it is gone. Only a few stakes with ropes were left. We had to climb down the stone steps step by step. Looking at our current appearance, it is estimated that it is very similar to the strange "corpse man" crawling down last night attached to the corpse locusts.

After climbing down seven or eight meters, although the light is very weak, I can still see things clearly, although there is a black hole when I look down from the top of the wellhead, but it is actually not so dark when I get to the bottom.

I went down another two or three meters, and it seemed to be the end. Below it appears to be a natural culvert, surrounded by rocks, but artificially carved. Although the wellhead of the qanats is small. But the culvert below is huge, and the culvert zigzags and doesn't know where it leads. There is a ditch in the middle of the culvert, and there is only a small amount of water left in the ditch, and it seems that this qanats have been abandoned for some time.

The culvert is leading to both sides, I don't know where those corpse locusts came from, Xiaopang pointed with his hand: "left", and took me and Zhang Meng to the left side of the culvert.

Zhang Meng and I wondered how Chubby knew where those corpse locusts were. Chubby replied with three words: "By feeling".

Since according to the method stated in the "Tomb Robbery Manual", we were not allowed to have any clothes on our bodies, so we were naked, with no shoes on, and rock fragments under our feet. It's very prickly, Zhang Meng and I have suffered this sin with fine skin and tender meat, piercing and screaming, walking very slowly, Xiaochubby may be rough and thick-skinned, full of care, striding meteors in front.

The further I went, the darker the light became, and finally I had to turn on the flashlight, and after walking for about twenty or thirty meters, I still didn't see the shadow of those corpse locusts.

"Fat guy, do you feel like you have a score, you haven't even seen a corpse locust. Zhang Meng said while rubbing his feet.

At this time, Xiaopang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, made a silent movement, and said, "Did you hear any sound?"

Hearing Xiaopang say this, Zhang Meng and I also stopped, pricked up our ears and listened carefully.

Sure enough, from far and near, there seemed to be a woman crying in the depths of the culvert.

Zhang Meng was so frightened that she shuddered: "Okay, it seems to be a woman crying!"

"Well, it's like a woman crying, as if it's coming from the front. I said.

"It's hard, is that thing? Zhang Meng said tremblingly.

"Damn, go back, you can't get over. Chubby said.

Zhang Meng and I both wondered, Chubby has always been a person who has nothing to do, and is not afraid of heaven and earth, but now he doesn't even see a ghost, but when he heard this cry, Chubby said that he wanted to go back, which is not like Chubby's style.

Xiaopang looked at me and Zhang Meng a little hesitant, and explained: "I'm not afraid of any female ghosts, brothers think about it, just our old men, naked, if you meet an old lady, how embarrassing it is, you have to scold us for being stinky hooligans, let's go back quickly, I can't afford to lose this person." ”

As soon as I heard it, don't look at Chubby, who usually doesn't care about anything, and is really clean.

Zhang Meng was happy next to him after hearing this: "I said fat guy, I didn't see that you are also a chaste and fierce man, but you are also stupid, where did the old lady come from in such an underground culvert, if you want to, it can only be a female ghost, it's okay if you don't say it, so I was scared, but now I really don't want to go back, I really want to see how this female ghost reacts when she sees a naked man, haha." ”

Zhang Meng was joking, but Xiaopang took it seriously: "Well, it makes sense, women are terrible, female ghosts are nothing to be afraid of, I also want to see what it is like for female ghosts to meet naked men, haha." ”

As he spoke, he led us towards the cry.

", fat guy, I'm kidding, you're really going. ”

Chubby and Zhang Meng walked forward while stinky and poor, and when they turned a corner, Chubby suddenly stopped again, and Zhang Meng and I almost bumped into him.

I saw that Xiaopang was shining a flashlight, and seven or eight steps away from us, there was a woman standing with her back to us, dressed in red, as red as coals. (To be continued.) )
