Chapter 44: Special Burial (2)
After the old snake and Ah Yi were busy, they didn't mean to stop, they found two pairs of rubber gloves to wear on their hands, and carefully carried Ah Bing's body and threw it into the river. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Both of them used a lot of strength, and Ah Bing's body was thrown far away, and with a thud, the body smashed to the surface of the river.
I believe I was right, the moment the body touched the river, there was a layer of mist on the river. This is an anomaly, and I believe that it is related to the drug injected into Ah Bing's body.
Ah Bing's corpse immediately had a tendency to sink, and those fierce fish swimming by the river gathered towards the corpse at this moment.
The old snake and Ah Yi stiffened their faces and knelt down together. The old snake also turned his head to look at us, and said, "We're going to give our brother a ride, and since you're here, let's get involved." β
The four of us didn't say anything. And Ah Yi was very dissatisfied with our actions, he shouted in his throat, "It's all the same as me, kneel." β
The beard immediately retorted, "Why? β
His words immediately made the faces of Old Snake and Ah Yi even more ugly. I think that death is great, and we have known Ah Bing through this short period of contact, and we will give him a ride according to the rules of the old snake.
I tugged at my beard and gestured to Dawala and Kelsang Nyima. Then the four of us knelt on the ground one after another.
The old snake still felt in his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes. On this occasion, he did not want to smoke, but lit three cigarettes, which he put upside down on the ground as if they were incense.
After a while, there was a change in the surface of the river. Many fierce fish gnawed on Ah Bing's corpse, but they soon floated on the surface of the river with their bellies turned upside down, and the red light on their bodies became very faint.
These are all signs before they die. When I saw this, my heart was shocked. I guessed that the old snake injected Ah Bing just now should be highly poisonous things.
Dawala took advantage of the time to chant to us, saying that Ah Bing's corpse is now a source of poison, and those fish eat Ah Bing's corpse, and after they die, they will be eaten by the same kind, which will cause a chain reaction.
I had to complain in my heart, saying that the old snake's method of avenging Ah Bing was not poisonous.
The old snake and Ah Yi looked at the river and chattered, as if they were talking to Ah Bing.
The old snake told Ah Bing to let him go with peace of mind, his elderly mother, and the old snake would take good care of him. And although Ah Bing did not marry a wife and have children, the old snake would also look for an orphan and let the orphan recognize Ah Bing as his father, which can be regarded as a continuation of the incense for him.
The content of Ah Yi's chanting is completely different from that of the old snake. He had a strong sense of sadness, saying that he and Ah Bing had originally retired and had been assigned good jobs, but they were unwilling to be lonely, so they returned to the previous days with Brother Snake.
Through the chatter of these two people, I faintly captured a lot of information, and Ah Yi also mentioned retirement. I would like to ask something further, but this is not the right occasion for me to speak.
Then they talked about some other things, all of which were daily trivial matters related to Ah Bing, and there was nothing that caught my attention.
I, Beard, and Dawala just knelt in a meaningful way, but Kelsang Nyima was more serious than us, and he not only bowed in the end, but also muttered it in the local language, probably so that Ah Bing could walk.
Kelsang Nyima's move also won Ah Yi's favor, Ah Yi turned his head to look at Kelsang Nyima several times, and even said, "Thank you!" β
After a quarter of an hour, there was basically no red light in the river, but there was a layer of dead fish floating on the surface of the river. And we're not on our knees anymore.
The old snake asked us all to tidy up, and then continued to set off.
We had just escaped from the river, and we were all in a mess, and we really needed to tidy up, except for Kelsang Nyima, who had no backpack with him, and nothing with him except for stone axes and hatchets.
While he waited, he went to look at the two unlucky fish he had stoned to death. Half of the head of one of the fish was gone, which also gave Kelsang Nyima a new discovery.
He crouched next to the dead fish and waved at us and shouted.
We were curious, and we all gathered together. I also deliberately shined a flashlight on the fish.
We found that in the remaining half of the fish's head, there was a white worm hiding from it, which was not completely dead, but was lying on it, arching and crawling.
The old snake's whole face was hideous, he took out the dagger, and poked it hard at the white worm, and after picking up the white worm, he stared at the white worm and said to us, "Before, Lao Tzu wanted to kill the Gu King because of the mission, but this time it was different, Lao Tzu and his Liang Zi were bigger!" I'll have to chop him alive. β
At first glance, his words were incomprehensible, but after a little thought, I understood.
The worm in the head of this fish should be a kind of parasite, and it is precisely because of the toxin of this insect that the fish mutates and even becomes ferocious. And this parasite should have been cultivated by the Gu King.
In addition, the Gu King raised so many fierce fish, in fact, he wanted them to guard the river and guard this shortcut to the forbidden area.
In this way, Ah Bing's death, if you think about it according to this logic, it is indeed related to the Gu King.
I didn't answer any questions. And it wasn't long before we were on the road again.
We can't take the waterway again this time, according to the old snake's estimate, we can walk thirty or forty kilometers to the forbidden area. Whether there will be any danger on this road is unknown.
Now we can't use things like a compass to identify the direction, Ah Yi originally took out a compass, but the pointer on it was turning in circles, and I analyzed that there was a strong magnetic field nearby.
In the end, we used the Big Dipper to discern the direction, with the old snake and Ah Yi leading the way in front, and the four of us following behind. But after walking for more than an hour, we came across a forest.
I call it a forest instead of a forest because the trees here are so tall and dense that even at first glance, they are all of the level of a big tree, and you can't see the end at a glance.
I suspect the exclusion zone is somewhere in the forest. And when we walked into the forest, we were blocked by the dense foliage, and we couldn't see the Big Dipper at all.
Old Snake and Ah Yi took the lead to stop. I looked at the situation in front of me and secretly had a headache. I thought to myself, we can't just walk for a while and climb to the top of a tree to find the next direction, right? The trees here are so tall that it's hard to climb, and it's easy to fall.
I looked at the others and hoped they would come up with something. Hu Zi also asked Kelsang Nyima when he was free, after all, Kelsang Nyima is a native and there are many local methods that we don't know.
Who knew that Kelsang Nyima's answer was very direct, he shook his head and said that the warriors of their village would never come to such a place to talk nonsense.
Old Snake and Ah Yi did not participate in our discussion, they stood silently for a while, and then the two of them looked at each other, and unloaded their respective backpacks and put them on the ground.
I stared at the two of them. They all circled around in front of us.
I don't count how many circles they made, but I guess there were a hundred and eighty, and at last they went around faster and faster, muttering words we didn't understand.
Kelsang Nyima was very real, staring closely, and in the end he was confused, and his body couldn't help shaking a few times.
He shook his head vigorously and said to us, "What are these two great immortals doing?" Do you cast immortal magic? β
I can't answer. Davara seemed to have something in mind.
After waiting for a while, the old snake and Ah Yi stopped, they didn't show any signs of dizziness, but after looking around, they pointed in one direction together.
Ah Yi said first, "In that case, the direction is right." β
The old snake beckoned us to hit the road at once. Dawala couldn't help it, and suddenly asked, "Have you two been in Xiangxi before?" β
Beard and I wondered, wondering why Davara would ask that. Ah Yi still looked very angry after hearing this, and while following the old snake closely, he said to Dawala, "What do you ask more about girls?" Come with us, we won't get you lost. β
Davara frowned and didn't ask any more. And I want to understand the cattiness in this, so let Dawala tell me, what does she mean by Xiangxi?
Dawala didn't hide it, and replied, "I've heard from a friend that the special police in Xiangxi have a unique job, and when they do a task, once they lose their way and don't have a reference to identify the direction, they will circle in place to stimulate a special human perception ability, so that they become like some animals, and immediately have a sense of direction." β
Beard's first reaction after hearing this was to shake his head violently, and then answered, "Sisters, why are you so evil, besides, after everyone goes around in circles, won't they get more and more dizzy, how can they still have a sense of direction?" β
Davara couldn't explain it, but emphasized that this was what she had heard, and she didn't know the mystery of it.
As I savored Dawara's words, one word suddenly came to mindβto drive out corpses.
I remember reading a gossip about this, and it was mentioned that before becoming a corpse chaser, there was a series of training, which included walking around in the wilderness.
Of course, the circle of the corpse chaser is to prove whether they can become a qualified corpse chaser, and the circle of the old snake and Ah Yi is completely different from the corpse chaser's.
I ended up skeptical, but we didn't have much time to talk about it, and continued to follow the old snake and Ah Yi.
This forest, the more you go, the more fucked it gets, especially the ground is getting wet and muddy.
We stepped on it, and every time we tried to lift our feet, it was particularly difficult. By the time it was almost dawn, we didn't have much to do.
We're all tired too. Old Snake and Ah Yi seemed to have a lot of pain in their heads, because they rubbed their heads from time to time.
Beard first proposed to the old snake and Ah Yi, let's take a break. The old snake agreed to the beard's proposal. We each looked for a place, either leaning against the trunk of a tree or sitting on the ground.
Ah Yi also took out all the food in the backpack and distributed it to everyone.
The food was mainly beef jerky, but Kelsang Nyima had made a mess before and tore open every bag of beef jerky, and the backpack had just fallen into the river, so the beef jerky was all blistered.
We didn't eat very comfortably, or to be precise, I almost choked the beef jerky in my throat in order to keep my stomach from being hungry and even regain my strength as soon as possible.
Ah Yi looked at Gesang Nyima at this moment, and he was angry again, and he also damaged Kelsang Nyima a few words. I found out that Ah Yi sometimes likes to anger people, and he finally turned the finger on the beard, deliberately looking for fault.
The beard was originally at odds with him, but at this moment, the two of them were going toe-for-tat with each other.
I took out the lively posture, and I was relieved of my boredom when I was resting. This time, the beard pointed at Ah Yi again, scolding and said, "You damn it, I'm also bored with blood, you said that you look like a man, why do you do this, by the way, do you have a nickname, called trouble?" β
Ah Yi originally snorted disdainfully, which was considered a response, but suddenly, the old snake raised his head coldly and stared at his beard.
Ah Yi's expression also changed, just like the old snake, staring at his beard...... (To be continued.) )
