Chapter 49: The Female Corpse

The cold bench's eyes were still faint, and his finger pointed downward. I looked down and saw my old lady, whose hair stood on end, and it was a mass of long black hair, about the thickness of an arm, tied in a knot on my right foot and neck.

I looked down at the hair, and thought to myself, don't show me a long-tongued female ghost in white clothes, that would really fucking kill me! As I thought about it, the face of a swollen woman peeked out of the inky black hair, and my heart fluttered, and my legs trembled involuntarily, because I found that this woman actually I knew.

The cold bench probably thought I was scared silly, and quickly helped me cut the hair tangled around my feet and neck, and I shuddered down to see the woman up close.

Her square face has been swollen into a round face, the wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her eyes are even more swollen as thick as fingers, the exposed skin on her body has been soaked in the lake water and almost transparent, and even the red capillaries inside can be clearly seen, the position of her forehead and cheeks is still slightly white, and her eyes are half-open, as if she still has some unfulfilled wishes, but her expression is very calm, and she feels a little contradictory.

However, what puzzled me the most was that this woman, or more precisely, this old lady, that is, Kui Xue's mother, when I first met her at the high-speed rail station, she was obviously wearing a popcorn head. But now, her hair can wrap around my calves three times, and her hair is jet black and shiny, not at all like she looks like she is in her seventies.

Underwater, I didn't know how to pass this information on to the cold bench, and suddenly I remembered a sign language song I learned in college, which seemed to have an action that could be borrowed, and it was simple and easy to understand, and with the cleverness of the cold bench, I must have understood it at a glance.

I picked up one of the most important pieces of information, pointed at the woman with one finger, and poked my eyes with two more fingers, meaning: "This person, I know." Cold Bench blinked, then shook his head again, as if to say, "Not necessarily." ”

He took a step forward, and suddenly raised his hand and touched the woman's sideburns, as if pinching something, and heard a small sound, and a delicate human skin mask was torn off the woman's face.

Now, I finally understood why this seventy-year-old lady had black and bright hair, it turned out that under the human skin mask, it was actually a very young face, looking at most in her twenties and thirties, there were no impurities on her skin, and she should have been well maintained before her death. And I found out that the more this woman looks at it, the more she looks like Kui Xue, if I didn't know that Kui Xue's hair is not so long, I would definitely mistake this person for her.

The cold bench seemed to feel the same way, and looked at me for a while, and I knew what he meant, so I shook my head and told him that it was not.

At this time, my qi was really held to the limit, and a large number of brain cells had died due to severe lack of oxygen, resulting in the left half of my body being almost completely paralyzed, half numb and half cold in my brain, and the numb half was like countless insects biting in my brain, trying to scratch but not catching, and it was very uncomfortable.

At this moment, the cold bench suddenly sank down, and when I came up again, I took a furry thing in my hand and put it on the side of my mouth, motioning for me to inhale. I didn't think about it that much at the time, as if I saw a life-saving straw, I took a big breath into the mouth between the black hairs, and then exhaled out, and took another breath, and a clever moment occurred in my mind, and those little insects seemed to be gone.

After I changed my breath, the cold bench also changed my breath, and at this time, I noticed that this black hair was actually black hair! Depend on...... This is the old woman's wig set?!

I don't understand what the principle is, a wig set actually has the function of scuba, which can apply for the Guinness World Records! I took the wig cover from the cold bench and found that the only difference between this hair cover and the usual hair cover is that its necklace is very small, about the size of a one-dollar coin, but it is very elastic, and it has no problem on the head of the big son.

The cold bench glanced at me, probably guessing my confusion from my expression, and he waved his hand to tell me to concentrate. I saw that he pushed the shrink of the wig sleeve hard, and the lake water instantly poured into it, and the hair sleeve slowly inflated like a balloon, and when the lake was full and could no longer be filled, the shrinkage suddenly bubbled, and at the same time began to drain outward, but the shape of the hair cover did not change, as if there was still a breath of air inside.

I immediately thought of an animal, a fish, which, like humans, actually needs oxygen to breathe. People can survive on land because there is oxygen on land, human beings inhale oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide, and so on and so on for gas exchange, the same is true for fish, the gills of fish have the function of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide, so it can be seen that there is oxygen in the water. But the reason why people can't breathe freely in the water is because the human lungs don't have the function to separate oxygen from the water, so they only absorb the oxygen in the water, and the gills of fish can.

Therefore, as soon as the cold bench demonstrated to me, I immediately thought of the gills, and the inventor of this wig cover probably felt this. I just don't know exactly how he did it.

With this "gills", I relaxed a lot and swam over to observe the woman closely. She was wearing a light brown floral blouse, a pair of black linen pants underneath, a pair of black dribbling shoes on her feet, typical of an old Chinese lady, and holding a military canvas bag in her hand, on which the dark red book was printed with the five big characters "Serve the People", which looked like something from the fifties and sixties of the last century.

I looked at the cold bench and unanimously decided to open it and take a look. I tugged hard, but I didn't pull it off the woman's hand, it seems that it should contain something more important to her, since the deceased is unwilling, then I can't force it, just open the lid to see.

As soon as the flashlight shines, the contents are clear at a glance: a flashlight, a mahogany comb, a hardcover notebook, and an old Chinese fountain pen. I took out my notebook, it was still the same old-fashioned notebook with red rubber skin, and the cover was fine, but the pages inside had been soaked in the lake.

I quickly flipped through the pages and found that there was not even a single word that I could see clearly, and the black pen words had been blurred into large and small black spots one by one, and some of the front and back pages were still glued together, almost as if they were wasted.

I sighed inwardly, I thought I would find something valuable in this notebook, such as the true identity of this woman, why did she appear here alone, wearing a human skin mask? It seems that the old saying is true, if it is true, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

I closed my notebook and was about to throw it into my bag, when the cold bench suddenly took it, and I touched the inside of the cover with two fingers, and I found an old-fashioned black and white photo.

I was stunned and hurried over. The photograph shows a man and a woman, both in military uniforms but without hats. The man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face is upright, and the woman combs two braids and smiles very beautifully, which is the kind of person who can make people fall into it at a glance, just like Kui Xue.

The cold bench turned the photo upside down, and there were words on the back, which were written in ballpoint pen: Kui Tongsheng Huo Qiyun in the autumn of 1972.
