Chapter Twenty-Four: Bones

Mo Yuanshan continued: "The wound on this bone is smooth, inverted cone-shaped, and there are burn marks, what else could it be besides a bullet!"

Mo Yuanshan took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took a sharp breath, and continued: "The bullet should be shot from the back, and it is a tracer bullet, only this kind of bullet will continue to burn after being fired into the human body, producing an extremely high temperature, thus burning the bones." If the bullet had been fired in the chest, the wound on the rib would have been in the shape of a cone, and the wide-face wound would be facing us. ”

"What does that mean?"

This shows that he was chased and died on the way to escape. And the man who shot was a master shooter. From the point of view of the rib scar, this person should have fired a gun from a hundred and fifty meters away, and such a distance and accuracy are difficult for other guns except sniper rifles to do. So ......"

Mo Yuanshan said this, but stopped again.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but punch Mo Yuanshan and said, "Don't show off, say it quickly." ”

Mo Yuanshan rubbed his chest and said, "So, the person who shot him was either a sniper or an agent on the army, or a professional killer." ”

"Troops, agents, professional killers, what are you kidding, my father worked in the area of the Red Cliff River in his early years, and I have never heard him say that he has fought here, let alone a professional killer. My father is a scientist, and your reasoning is too unreliable. ”

Mo Yuanshan sighed: "I hope so, and my mother also told me that my father is working on the branch of the Red Cliff River. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look down at the corpse, and said to herself: "Judging from the degree of corrosion of this corpse, it looks like it has been dead for about twenty or thirty years, isn't that the time when our fathers came to work in Hongya River." ”

Mo Yuanshan nodded, looked at the front with a solemn expression, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that the road ahead of us is not smooth." ”

"We've been all the way, how have we ever been peaceful! It's just that these bones are so strange, what are they, and why are they being chased and killed here?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked suspicious, and wanted to get an answer from Mo Yuanshan's mouth, so he looked at Mo Yuanshan with his eyes.

But Mo Yuanshan only cared about smoking, didn't say a word, picked up his backpack and walked forward.

Lin Xiaoxiao hated her teeth and scolded: "You rich slave, you pretend to be dumb when you should speak." ”

Mo Yuanshan didn't look back and said: "Follow me, I'm afraid that there are still things in front of me, remember, don't touch these things in the snow." ”

"It's all turned into bones, and you're still afraid that it won't be clean!"

Mo Yuanshan opened the way in front of him, panting and said: "Step on my footprints, so that you will save more effort, don't lie down without getting out of this grassland, I don't want Zhu Bajie to carry his daughter-in-law." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but run to the front of Mo Yuanshan and stopped: "You fart, who is your daughter-in-law!" You haven't answered my question just now, don't forget, you are my follower, I order you to answer me now." ”

Mo Yuanshan had no choice but to say helplessly: "I'm afraid that saying it will make you uneasy." ”

Lin smiled and said angrily: "Along the way, how many things are you still hiding from me, such as that night, you said that you went to collect firewood, but you came back injured." I've seen fewer strange things along the way, and last night's red-eyed monster, am I scared? I hate it most when people keep me in the dark, even if the sky falls, I know, at least I have a defense. ”

"Well, then I'll tell you my conjecture. The skeleton behind us is most likely the same as the red-eyed monster that attacked us last night. Last night, when you were asleep, the monster tried to jump into the window, and when you looked at me, it got angry and bared its fangs, just like the one on the skeleton. ”

"What? You mean the bones are the red-eyed monsters? But who shot them thirty years ago? If they hadn't gone extinct and multiplied for thirty years, wouldn't there be a huge population!"

"And that's not the scariest thing, I guess, they're very similar to people, and if they're mutants, it's terrible. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao listened to Mo Yuanshan's words, and remembered that her mother Qin Fang used to be a top biomedical expert in China, and she had been doing scientific research, and she had also worked in this Hongya River, and an ominous thought suddenly hit Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Mutants! This can't be, it can't be. Although I didn't see the red-eyed monster clearly last night, the bones may also be orangutans. ”

Before the words came out, Lin Xiaoxiao had already denied herself.

Mo Yuanshan comforted: "No matter what that thing is, with me, you can rest assured, but we have to be careful." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao looked full of worry for a while, and then stopped talking.

The two of them made their way west, and the early sun soon melted the snow on the meadow, and the meadow became muddy.

When the sun was about to set, Mo Yuanshan finally saw what seemed to be a low house in the distance.

But the farther I went, the more the snow melted, and some scattered bones began to appear on the grass, but they were all the bones of cattle and sheep.

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart began to feel a little uneasy.

Mo Yuanshan also took Lin Xiaoxiao's dagger in his hand.

"I don't know why, why are there so many scattered bones of cattle and sheep here. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart began to pound.

Mo Yuanshan pointed to the left front and said: "Look, there are piles of cattle and sheep bones over there, could it be that the shepherds didn't have time to drive the sheep back to the cat winter field, and they were all frozen to death here, let's go over and take a look." ”

When the two of them came to the pile of bones, they couldn't help but be stunned, this pile of white bones turned out to be broken collarbones or cervical vertebrae.

"Looks like my guess was correct, the Red-Eyed may have had a large population thirty years ago, if they've been thriving......"

Mo Yuanshan couldn't help but stop talking.

Lin Xiaoxiao said, "How can you see that these sheep were bitten to death by the red-eyed monster?"

Mo Yuanshan replied unanswered: "Fortunately, you didn't see those red-eyed monsters last night, otherwise, you might have nightmares for the rest of your life." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly said angrily: "What's wrong with you, is your brain short-circuited, you always like to answer questions." ”

"I've already made my guesses, and I'm a very confident person, except for you!"

Mo Yuanshan said, and then used his eyes to peep at Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao blushed and turned her head to leave.

Mo Yuanshan hurriedly chased after him and said with a smile: "I just want to relieve your nervous nerves and make a joke with you." ”

"I advise you to make less jokes like this in the future, otherwise, I won't give you a penny, and all the fines will be confiscated, and it will be regarded as compensation for my mental damages. ”

"Don't, I promise, in the future, you will become your favorite 'shit shell lang', shut up and be dumb. But I still want to tell you what I think, lest you say that I kept you in the dark. ”

"Whoever is rare, don't pretend to be Sherlock Holmes, you're a fart. ”

Mo Yuanshan said to himself: "You think, so many sheep died in a heap, and the bones in the neck were bitten off, what else could there be but beasts." But along the way, there are no other animals in this meadow besides the red-eyed monster? ”

"On a snowy day, there are no wild things, and it's normal. ”

"Wrong, there are wild things on heavy snowy days, and it is impossible for all wild animals to hibernate, at least there must be a hare and birds and something like that, but do we see it? ”

Lin Xiaoxiao thought about what Mo Yuanshan said about the mutant before, and saw the bones of the sheep just now, and actually linked the culprit to the red-eyed monster in his heart, but where did these red-eyed monsters come from? And the previous groups of people also came to this place, what purpose did they have, and why would his father guide him to this kind of place?

Lin Xiaoxiao thought about his thoughts, and Mo Yuanshan suddenly shouted: "It's finally almost here, look, there are several rows of bungalows in front, and we finally have a place to stay tonight." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced ahead and sneered: "Great detective, why did you get kicked in the brain by a donkey, you can't even understand such a situation." ”

"Oh, tell me what's ahead, and if you're right, I'll be your sentry tonight. ”

"It's a dead land!"

Lin smiled and said, with a serious face.
