Chapter 16: Peeling (Text)

Zhao San thought for a while and asked, there are many ways to worship the river god, and in the Yangtze River Basin, it is customary to sacrifice boys and girls; In the northern part of Xiangxi and Sichuan, cattle and sheep are often used to worship, and each place has different customs.

Fauber smiled bitterly, "I have never seen such a cruel ritual, my two friends and eight other people were buried in the earth, only one head was exposed, and the wizard cut a cross with a knife on the top of their heads, pulled their scalps apart, and poured mercury into them. Because the mercury is very heavy, it pulls off the muscles and skin at once, and the person buried in the soil writhes in pain, and cannot break free, and finally the body will slide out of the opening on the top of the head, leaving only one skin in the soil..."

Zhang Meng seemed to be poured a basin of cold water on his head, and an icy chill rushed to his heart. According to Fubo's description, he seemed to be able to see the cruel and bloody scene, and when he was afraid, he didn't see Zhao San's eyes light up.

"Otherwise, we'd better go back."

Zhang Meng felt a little furious in his heart, although he was determined to find out the cause of his father's death, but when he heard such a terrifying thing, he couldn't help but retreat, especially when he thought that he might also become a sacrifice to the river god, which made him tremble.

"Meng boy, now that I know I'm scared, I just don't follow him out at that time. Okay, okay, let's send you home first, and then we'll meet those Hui people, hahaha! ”

Zhao San usually suffered losses in Zhang Meng's mouth, and when he caught the opportunity, he hurriedly mocked a few words sarcastically.

"Who said that! I'm afraid that when the time comes, your old bones will be fat and fat, and the skin will be greasy and dead, and the river god won't like to eat it! ”

Zhang Meng was reluctant when he heard this, a child's heart, and he was most reluctant to hear others look down on him.

"Ah Meng, you're sure, it's really dangerous to go to that place." Chen Cripple held back a smile and said to Zhang Meng seriously.

"Go! Where is so much nonsense. "Give the two of them a thrill. Zhang Meng's fear in her heart has also weakened a lot.

"How many masters, do you really go to that place? To be honest, if it weren't for the little master's kindness to me, I wouldn't want to go to that village again for the rest of my life! Fauber said with a bitter face.

"I have to go this time, I'm afraid this clue is really in that place!" Zhao San said with a smile.

"Third uncle, why are you so sure?"

"Liu Qu, the king of Guangchuan, was a prince of the Han Dynasty, who was cruel and violent during his reign, and extremely worshiped the river god, who believed that the skin of the human body was unclean and obscene. The tribute to the river god can only be something in the skin, so during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, skinning was popular. This kind of skinning ritual has been recorded in many historical books, and it should not be wrong, these people should be the descendants of Liu to migrate over and take care of his cemetery. ”

"And this allusion?"

Fu Bo was a little unruly, he relied on a shovel back then, and with a courage, where could he be as knowledgeable as Zhao San.

"To do this business, it depends on a brain, many people have not fallen for ten years, and they are there to compare historical materials, and they will have to eat for several lifetimes. When we retreated to Hong Kong, almost all of our net worth assets were seized, and even your uncle had to go out to do odd jobs to eat. At the critical juncture, we made an order to let the Zhang family gain a foothold in Hong Kong, do you know how many years it took us? ”

Zhang Meng hurriedly shook his head, stared at Zhao San and waited for him to continue, he had never heard the uncle say these words, and listening to Zhao San say it at this moment, he also heard it with relish.

"In five years, more than 50 people spent five years there checking historical documents, surveying geography, and almost running hundreds of rounds of the entire Hong Kong before deciding on a big fight of the late Qing Dynasty. What kind of dragon search point, you can see at a glance, these are all fucking bullshit, just auxiliary means, the most important thing is to have rich ink. ”

Zhang Meng nodded, feeling that what Zhao San said was quite reasonable, if these tombs were so easy to steal, then there would not be many people in the industry who were just mixing food and clothing.

"Let's go, Ah Fu, let's go now, now we have to race against time, find out the clues before the Ye family reacts, I feel that the Ye family will not be so light!" Zhao San thought about it for a while, but decided to set off immediately, he had a lot of dealings with the Ye family fifteen years ago, and he still had a deep impression of the Ye family's methods of cutting grass and eradicating roots.

"Good! Then let's go now, but this Xiali can't be eaten, there are all streams and canyons near Shaoshan, this kind of road can only walk, and the car can't walk. Fauber nodded.

As if he saw that Zhang Meng was a little worried, Zhao San smiled and said to him: "Little Mengzi is scared? Don't worry, with your ghost uncle here, even if my white horse Zhao San doesn't make a move, it will not be a sure thing for your ghost uncle to give them some medicine when the time comes. ”

The sick ghost was a very silent man, and he would not say more than ten fingers along the way, and he only smiled faintly when he heard this, but did not say anything. Zhao San and they love to call him 'tuberculosis', the sick ghost has tuberculosis, which makes him have to give himself an injection of amoxicillin every week to maintain his life, maybe he has been sick for a long time, and the sick ghost is very good at studying various drugs.

They are not very worried about the Hui people in Shaoshan Village, if those people dare to fight any messy ideas at that time, they don't mind seeing blood, in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, they don't have to care about government control at all.

"Let's go!"

Now that the place has been determined, Fu Bo sorted out a few clothes that he carried with him, packed them and followed him out, and the guy at the door hurriedly asked, "A few uncles are leaving, don't you want a cup of tea?" ”

"Don't drink anymore, go do something, and come back to you when it's done."

"Good! That's settled. The guy laughed.

Five people squeezed into the car, Chen lame drove the car out of the county for about half an hour, there was no road here, and there were some muddy puddles, the car fell into the mud as soon as it was driven, and it couldn't get up for half a day.

"It seems that we can only drive here, Ah Fu, how far are we from that Shao Mountain?" Zhao San got out of the car and glanced at the road, and said helplessly.

"To get to Shaoshan, you have to cross the mountain in front of you, there is a small stream behind the mountain, follow that stream for almost half a day, you should be able to see Shaoshan. But that was more than ten years ago, and I don't know what the mountain has become now......" Fauber shook his head.

"Then hurry up the mountain and see if you can climb this mountain before dark, I don't want to spend the night in the mountain!"

Seeing the big forest in front of him, but it seemed a little dead and silent, Zhang Meng couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart. It stands to reason that there should be many animals living in this kind of deep mountain and old forest, and it is extremely noisy.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the weather is extremely hot, Zhang Meng has only walked for a short time, and he feels that his throat is hot, his body is weak and weak, and a trace of sleepiness comes to his mind. On the contrary, Zhao San and Chen Cripple were each carrying a package weighing about fifty or sixty pounds, but there was no sign of tiredness.
