Chapter 8: The Problem of Kang Cave (Part II)
Su San overestimated his ability to resist wind and cold yesterday, tossed a few times last night, and felt top-heavy when he got up early, and he was dizzy and unsteady on his feet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Luo Yin saw that her situation was not right, reached out to probe her forehead, found that she was hot, and hurriedly rummaged through her backpack to find medicine.
Later, Wangdui boiled hot water and brought it over, Su San washed his face with hot water, a little more energetic, and after a while ate half a bowl of millet porridge, she felt that she gradually gained strength, seeing Wangdui take out a chisel, curiosity overcame physical discomfort, she wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said slowly: "Then let's start." There must be something wrong with this kang. ”
Luo Yin was a little worried: "This inn is not in front of the village and behind the store, and the guests in the store are all armed with guns, not like serious people, do you have confidence in Wangdui, if you really make trouble, we can protect Su Su and retreat." ”
Wangdui thought for a while, patted his chest and said: "I have no problem, I have already seen it after walking around just now, this courtyard plus the proprietress and the guy is now a total of eight people, of which six guests, three of the guests have guns, and the remaining three don't look like people who know kung fu, and these six people will not all help this hotel, the two of us are completely fine." ”
Su San thought to himself that Wangdui looked like a rough person, but in fact, his heart was still very delicate, and it had been planned a long time ago.
Su San got off the ground, Wangdui lifted the kang mat and futon, and began to work.
Su San asked, "Would you do such a thing?" ”
"Don't worry, we Xikang can also build kang, I have been doing this kind of work since I was a child."
Luo Yin couldn't help with these things, so he could only watch from the sidelines.
He watched Wangdui get familiar with the road, inserted the chisel between the two kang bricks, and then pried it a little harder. He didn't use a hammer, probably for fear of alarming the innkeepers with the sound of the knocking.
After a few hard pries like this, soon a brick was pried open.
Wangdui carefully continued to pry along the brick with the edge of the chisel. Su San found out, as long as he pried off a brick, the rest would be much simpler. Soon, five or six bricks were unloaded.
At this time, Luo Yin suddenly thought of a question: "These bricks are all made of yellow mud, and when they are all pried, if there is nothing in them, how can we restore all the bricks?" ”
"My judgment can't be wrong, there must be something in this kang."
Su San pointed to the fire kang and said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Luo, if there is nothing in it, I will say that the fire kang smoked yesterday, I will clean it up myself, and go out to find some yellow mud for him to restore. The second child in this store is a villain who sees money, and he has nothing to do with giving him some money. ”
Luo Yin thought about it, it was indeed the case, the people in this store only had money in their eyes, and if there was no problem in the kang at that time, it would be solved by giving some money.
Wangdui said in his mouth, but he kept in his hand, and the bricks on the kang surface were pried off a few more after a while, and now a long space has been exposed.
The position he pried was exactly where Su San was lying last night.
"God, the smell is out, and there are really people in here!"
Su San pointed to the fire kang and said.
Luo Yin frowned, glanced at the door again, and walked over to plug the door from the inside.
After removing a few more bricks, Wangdui couldn't help but sigh and jumped down with his nose covered.
"Miss Su, you're right, you see."
Wangdui pointed to the gap.
A woman's upper body is already revealed.
The corpse did not have much decay, the gap in the kang was smoky, and the corpse was like a folk smoked bacon inside, the smoke was almost half dry, the hair was still there, it could be seen that it was a woman, her hands were held flat, her clothes were already roasted to yellow, and there were traces of gnawing on the arm she was holding.
Su San covered his nose and glanced at it, pointed to the bite marks and said, "Here, it should be bitten by a mouse." ”
Luo Yin nodded: "Yes, the traces of this bite are fresh, and rats have come in from the kang hole or from the chimney." ”
Wangdui said hatefully: "No wonder no one lives and burns the kang." ”
"Yes, if the smoke is burning like this, the corpse will soon turn into a dry corpse, and there will be no smell coming out, and fortunately, Su Su is sensitive to smell, otherwise who would know that there are corpses in this kang. This kang ...... I'm afraid it's not just this corpse, Wangdui, continue to pry. ”
Wangdui began to pry along the other side again, and after being busy for a while, there was a knock on the door.
Su San glanced at Luo Yin, and Luo Yin asked, "Who?" ”
"Well, it's me, we almost got into a fight downstairs in the morning."
Hearing this, Wangdui turned around and whispered: "It's the fat man who had to eat chili peppers yesterday, it seems to be a passing merchant, surnamed Bai." ”
Luo Yin nodded: "What's the matter?" ”
"Hehe, that's the case, I was too careful in the morning, and it was very bad, so let's make a compensation."
Luo Yin pointed to Wangdui and said, "You go out and perfunctory him first." ”
Wangdui put down the chisel, patted the floating ash on his body, walked to the door, opened the door gently, and was about to get out halfway on his side. Unexpectedly, the fat merchant was very flexible, and before Wangdui came out, he was already blocking the door, and then squeezed in hard and came in by himself.
Luo Yin asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The fat man looked at Luo Yin, clenched his fists and said, "The next person is called Bai San, and he has been transporting tea on this road." ”
Luo Yin nodded: "Hello Mr. Bai." ”
Su San took a step towards the side of the kang and used his body to block the part of the kang that was pried out, but it was useless, because there were bricks piled up on the ground.
"I saw that this brother just found something in the backyard, and I thought you might have found something, come up and take a look."
The surnamed Bai went straight to the point to show his intentions, and when he spoke, he also looked behind Su San, pointed to the bricks on the ground and said, "This young lady doesn't need to block it, there are bricks on the ground." What did you find? ”
"What do you say, didn't you smell when you entered the door?" Su San asked coldly.
The surname Bai was stunned, and he rushed to the side of the kang in a few steps, he was fat, but his movements were very flexible, and he squeezed Su San aside at once.
"What do you do?" Luo Yin saw that Su San was squeezed and staggered, and he was so angry that he grabbed the man's arm.
The man didn't care about anything, his eyes were fixed on the corpse under the kang, and he reached out to touch the corpse's flat hands, but finally his hands fell.
Luo Yin's hand also stopped in the air, because he saw that the fat man's face was already full of tears.
"What are you...... Do you know this man? Su San asked.
The fat man wiped his tears and choked up: "It's my sister, she's my sister!" ”
As he spoke, he covered his mouth, squatted on the ground and lowered his head, his shoulders kept shaking, and it seemed that he was suppressing the great pain in his heart.
"You've been taking this route to find your sister?" Luo Yin asked.
The man whined and nodded. After a while, he stood up and bowed deeply to Luo Yin: "Thank you, thank you, I have always suspected that there is something wrong with my sister's disappearance, and I have come to live in this store for a long time but I haven't found anything, if it weren't for you, my sister ...... It will never see the light of day. ”
Su San didn't expect that this seemingly rude guest yesterday had another purpose here. Seeing that he was in such pain, he turned around and poured a glass of water, put it on the table and said, "You drink some water first, tell me about the matter, I suspect that there may be victims in this shop, and I am afraid that these clay kang will have to be dismantled and seen." ”
