Chapter 17: Bones of Unknown Origin
In the face of the two of them, the senior brother didn't say much, and after arranging them as guests, he went to Zhang Luo for lunch. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After talking to them, I went to the kitchen to help, and I could also stop by and talk to my brother.
I thought that my senior brother would ask me about them with his vigilance, but he didn't mention them all the time, just kept caring about my school life in Beijing, and I put my heart at ease and told him interesting things about the school.
Maybe they are too sensitive, if the senior brother is really not an ordinary person, then with his vigilance, he will definitely ask me about the origin of the two of them, how can they still talk to me about their daily life like now! Even if Senior Brother is really a person with a special identity like them, I will never doubt his intentions, he will definitely be the first person to come out to protect me.
After lunch, I saw that my brother was carrying a basket on his back as if he was going up the mountain, so I stepped forward and grabbed his basket and said, "Senior brother, I'll come!" Just give me the list of medicines you want to collect! ”
Senior brother looked at me with a smile and said, "Let's go, you just got home, just rest at home!" ”
"Senior brother, just let me go! I haven't been up the mountain in a long time and want to go to the mountain! If you think I'm tired, I'll call them up and help me with my things, so I won't be tired! Besides, you have to stay here to see people, what if a sick person comes? ”
The senior brother looked at me and knew my stubborn temper, so he nodded and went to the study to write a note and give it to me.
I called Bai Feng and Long Yang to go out and walk up the mountain.
Even if the weather is clear, the mountains are still very depressed in winter, and there are very few medicines that can be collected.
I walked on the familiar mountain path with my own memory, Bai Feng followed me quietly, and Long Yang kept looking at it with a pair of eyes, which was very novel.
Ignoring them, I took medicine on my own. Throughout the afternoon, Bai Feng had been observing the surroundings, and Long Yang had been asking this and that, as if he had endless words. I don't pay attention to him, he's just that kind of character anyway.
I got up from under a pine tree, wiped the sweat from my forehead, looked at the grass roots and tree roots in the basket, and smiled with satisfaction.
Suddenly I felt a pat on the shoulder, thinking that it should be this kid Long Yang, so I turned my head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
When I saw a yellow and white skeleton waving at me behind me, and shook my head by the way, I screamed "ah", ran to Bai Feng's side, grabbed his arm, and hid behind him.
Then Long Yang's shameless laughter came from the side: "Hahaha! ”
I poked my head out from behind Bai Feng and looked at Long Yang's shameless smiling face with indignation, so angry that my face turned red. I didn't expect to be scared by this stinky boy now, it's a shame!
He controlled the skeleton and walked in front of Bai Feng, and continued to laugh: "Big brother Hei, she is still so unfrightened after being scared by me so many times, hahahahaha!" I'm laughing to death! ”
I walked in front of him, kicked him hard when he was unguarded, watched him grin and cover his feet in pain, and said righteously: "How many times have I told you, don't joke with the corpse of the deceased, this is disrespectful to them, you take my words as the wind in your ears, and it will be gone after blowing, ah!" ”
Long Yang looked up at me painfully: "Sister Xiaoxiao, you are so ruthless!" ”
I looked at the skeleton that had fallen uncontrollably to the ground and asked, "Where did you get that?" There don't seem to be any graves here. "Even if it's a grave, you kid shouldn't be so ignorant of the rules to dig a grave!
"I found it over there, buried in the ground, it looks like some animal has cut it open!"
Hearing this, Bai Feng walked to the side of the skeleton and observed it carefully for a while, and said to us: "This corpse is more than one hundred and fifty years old, it is not a natural death, the ribs in the chest and heart are all broken, it should be that the heart was hit hard and ruptured, resulting in cardiac arrest and death." ”
"Was it murdered and buried here? I don't see a coffin next to it! Long Yang said suspiciously.
"For more than 150 years, with the rainy and warm climate on our side, even if there is a coffin, it will rot!" I analyzed: "It should be some of our old graves here, which have been dug up by some wild beasts after a long time of no one taking care of them!" ”
"Humph! I'm not as stupid as you, I can't tell if there's a coffin or not! After speaking, he looked at Bai Feng and said: "Big Brother Hei, according to my observation, this person should have just been hastily buried after death, not even a straw mat." ”
"Yes!" Bai Feng looked at me again and said, "Long Yang grew up in elementary school, what he said shouldn't be wrong!" ”
I nodded, and came to the bone: "Looks like a poor man!" I don't know exactly what happened, but it's been so long, everything has turned to dust, so let's bury him again! ”
"Yes!"
Seeing that they both nodded, I began to carefully pick up the bones on the ground.
"You put it down, or I'll come!" Long Yang took the few bones I had picked up in my hand and said to me with a smile.
He closed his eyes, and with a thought, the bones began to connect automatically in an orderly manner, forming a complete skeleton, and then paused to find his way and began to walk forward.
"Let's go!"
Listening to Bai Feng's words, I took a step and began to follow. It didn't take long for us to be at the place where he had been buried.
I don't know about tombs or feng shui, but I can only see that this place has been gouged by wild beasts, and I can smell a faint smell of corpses when I smell it carefully.
Long Yang took the hoe used to cut the roots of the tree from my hand, then dug a pit more than half a meter deep in the ground, and controlled the skeleton to walk in. Then there was a "bang", and as soon as Long Yang's mind was broken, the interconnected power between the bones was also broken, and it began to fall rapidly downward under the action of gravity. Then, under the action of an invisible force, it was put together into a complete and coherent form, and lay quietly in the pit.
After all the soil was filled back, Long Yang got up and walked to us, clapped his hands and said, "It's finally done!" ”
I looked at him with a relaxed look, and I really admired and envied him in my heart, after doing such heavy physical work, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and his head was not tired and sweaty, and he looked relaxed.
I sighed inwardly, after all, people are not ordinary people. Then he turned to the other side and saw that Bai Feng was closing his eyes, not knowing what he was doing.
I was about to ask Long Yang, but when he saw me turn around, he seemed to know what I was going to ask, and then whispered to me: "I feel that Big Brother Hei's spiritual power is spreading, and he is probing things here!" ”
Seeing that he spoke in a very small voice, I also knew that I could not disturb, so I nodded and stopped talking.
After about five or six minutes, he opened his eyes, and the expression on his face was a little solemn: "I feel that there are no less than six hundred such corpses buried in this mountain within a radius of ten miles, all of which were hastily buried, the earliest one was three hundred years ago, the most recent one was in this decade, there was one not far away, it was eight years ago, and the reason for their death was the same as the one we just found." ”
I stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief, how could there be so many inexplicable bones in a distant mountain village that had always been far away from the hustle and bustle!
"Most of these people are men, and there are only a few women. Judging from the bones just now, I think their identities should not be simple. As Xiaoxiao just said, for more than 150 years, the warm and humid climate here is enough to make coffins rot, and bones are no exception. However, the bones of the corpse we just saw were very hard, and there was no sign of erosion and decay, except for the place where he was injured, everything else was very intact, so these people must not be simple. Bai Feng ignored my surprise and continued.
