258 Picking bones
() The straw mat had already been eroded by the rain and was as fragile as paper, and it was not far from the ground before it broke. I saw that the bones in the mat were about to break out of the mat and fall into the muddy water.
Li Congyao's eyes were quick, and without warning, he threw out his cloak, and the cloak was filled with strength, and it crashed straight into Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai's body was stumbled, and the straw mat came out of his hand.
Jun Qinglan exclaimed in surprise, but saw that the cloak that Li Congyao threw out was unfurled like a big flag, and all the straw mats and bones that flew out were covered.
Before she could land with an exclamation, Li Congyao spread out the bones wrapped in the cloak and laid them on the ground. Jun Qinglan immediately gathered and looked at the white bones in the cloak.
At this time, no one noticed Chen Mobai who was still standing in the stagnant water. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Li Congyao did not remind Jun Qinglan, but stood in the wind and blocked the wind blowing for her.
Chen Mobai's face did not have the slightest annoyance, he crawled out of the corpse pit, glanced at the hem of his muddy clothes, but only raised his hand and twisted it, as if he didn't mind the dirt all over his body.
It wasn't until the man walked to his side that Jun Qinglan suddenly remembered that he had forgotten such a thing.
"Oops." Jun Qinglan frowned fiercely with just a touch of his finger on his body: "Mo Bai, you need to go back to the city quickly!" Fast! ”
"Why?"
Seeing that she was so eager, let alone Chen Mobai, even Li Congyao was stunned.
"The stagnant water in the corpse pit is different from the rain next to it, because the corpse is soaked for a long time and does not see the light of day, it is inevitable that it will be contaminated with corpse poison. In the past, I would prepare some glutinous rice wine to get rid of the corpse poison during the autopsy, but today I came here purely by accident and I did not bring glutinous rice wine with me. So, you have to go back to the city as soon as possible, mix glutinous rice wine with water, soak in a bath, and drink more. Otherwise....... ”
Jun Qing's blue eyes gradually became solemn: "Otherwise, when the corpse poison attacks, it will be troublesome!" ”
The smile on Chen Mobai's face froze. He lifted the corners of his lips, trying to regain the warm sun-like smile on his face, but ...... All in vain.
"You don't need to worry about me, I can handle it here. Let's go. ”
"The outbreak of corpse poison can be big or small, and some people should not be too strong. If this son is sick, it will not be a good thing for you or me. ”
Chen Mobai had the intention to stay, and he really didn't dare to take the risk thinking of the consequences of the corpse poison attack. So, he bit his lip hard before raising his eyes.
"Ah Wei, I'll go back first, and I'll see you again in the future, today...... I'm really sorry, I can't help anymore. ”
"You just have to go with confidence." Li Congyao said: "No one will blame you. ”
This sentence was originally full of concern, but it was said slowly in Li Congyao's indifferent and traceless voice...... Inexplicable heart congestion. However, Li Congyao never felt congested, staring at the back of the man who was hurrying away, the corners of his lips hooked uncontrollably, as beautiful as the clouds breaking through the moon.
At that end, Jun Qinglan had already lifted the straw mat wrapped in the bones. Li Congyao frowned fiercely: "Didn't you bring glutinous rice wine?" ”
"It's okay, I'm wearing gloves." Jun Qinglan shook her hands, and her thin-skinned gloves were already stained with dark brown dirt.
Jun Qinglan only said one sentence and buried her head in the bones again.
Wrapped in a straw mat
It's four bones. Because the four people were burned by the fire for a long time after they died, the color of the bones was not as white as ordinary people, with obvious burnt black, and they were covered by Huang Yuan with the same straw mat. At the beginning, the bones that had lost their flesh and skin could still maintain their own intact posture. However, after a long time, they will be scattered. The bones of the four people were mixed together, and it was a terrifying sight.
Jun Qinglan didn't speak, and divided the bones into four piles. This work took a long time, but Jun Qinglan was very focused, and there was no slackness. She wiped every bone she picked up and put it together in the shape of a human body.
The two of them didn't bring any tools when they came out today, and naturally they didn't prepare the coffin in advance, Jun Qinglan's current actions were actually unwise. They did not have the tools they needed to carry the bones, nor did they have a suitable burial place. Now that the sorting is complete, the four bones will still be mixed together later. Moreover, the autopsy does not actually require piecing together every single skeleton.
Li Congyao knew that what she was doing now was useless, but he didn't stop it, and just looked at her silently. There was a dark glow flowing in the man's long and narrow phoenix eyes, with a bit of indescribable pain.
A man and a woman in the forest, one standing and one squatting, one busy and one watching, no one spoke. There was an oily silence around them, as if neither of them could disturb what the two of them were doing.
This scene lasted until the twilight of the four days. Seeing the sun slanting on the western canopy, plating the heavens and the earth with a faint layer of gold, Jun Qinglan finally raised her eyes. The moment he got up, his body fell uncontrollably to the ground.
Li Congyao's eyes were quick, and his arms passed under the woman's slender waist and held her body firmly: "Be careful! ”
She squatted for a long time and never got up, Li Congyao had long been guarding against her falling, he held her tightly in his arms and became her support.
"This ...... It's Daddy. Jun Qinglan's voice was a little vanity.
Li Congyao understood that it was not because of tiredness, but because of sadness.
"When my father was young, he often led the government soldiers to suppress bandits. One year he was ambushed and slashed in the calf by a bandit. Later, although the injury was healed, his calf was no longer as sharp as before. There are signs of fracture and reattachment on this lower leg bone. Come to think of it, Daddy must have been in a lot of pain at that time, but he never said it. ”
Jun Qinglan closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "This is my mother." ”
"My mother is a very self-disciplined lady, she is always so gentle and beautiful. Even though I already have a pair of children, my figure is still so slender and colorful, and anyone who sees her will envy my father. ”
"This is my brother." Jun Qinglan pointed to the tallest of the four corpses: "When Daddy used to punish me for not being allowed to eat, he secretly came to bring me delicious food. When my father found out, he would always ask to be punished with me. In fact, he did it on purpose, just because he was afraid that I would be alone and afraid. ”
"This ......." Jun Qinglan looked at the thinnest dry bones and said, "It's the granddaughter of the old housekeeper grandfather who died for me." If it weren't for me, she would have become a parent by now, and maybe she would have had a child of her own. However...... But she will always be a child. ”
Jun Qinglan slowly raised her eyes: "They are together, just like a family, and they have been together for six years. It's just me...... It's just me ....... ”
"Don't say it.
Li Congyao suddenly frowned, and hugged Jun Qinglan tightly: "If it's uncomfortable, just cry." ”
"Why are you crying?" Jun Qinglan's head was resting on his shoulder, and although his voice was still vague, he didn't tremble: "Where do I have this qualification?" ”
She raised her hand and gently pushed Li Congyao away. Standing between heaven and earth, his expression was cold and there was no grief and indignation: "If I can't clear their grievances, I'm really vain!" ”
"I'm with you." Li Congyao did not dissuade him, but said with her: "No matter what the road ahead, I will always be by your side." Once upon a time there was your brother, and now there is me. Likewise it won't leave you alone and scared. ”
Jun Qinglan looked at him and hooked her lips for a long time. A somewhat indifferent smile appeared in his cold eyes: "Thank you." ”
She rubbed her cheeks vigorously and returned her gaze to the bones.
"I probably understand why Huang Yuan was so hesitant when talking about the results of the autopsy, it turned out to be ...... There really is something wrong with their deaths! ”
Li Congyao narrowed his eyes: "If my guess is correct, their death should have nothing to do with the fire." ”
Jun Qinglan glanced at Li Congyao, and there was an unconcealable admiration in her eyes: "What you said is right, it is true." ”
"You'll see."
The woman's fingertips pointed to Qin Yu's skull: "My father's skull, mouth and teeth are very clean, and there is no soot. ”
"If a person is burned to death, a large amount of soot will be inhaled before he dies, which will cause the trachea to occlude and make it difficult to breathe. Then after he died, there would be remnants of soot in his mouth, but not in my father's skull. Not only that, but I have checked my mother, brother and pendant, and their mouths are clean. ”
Li Congyao half-narrowed his eyes: "Their bodies were not properly buried, and most of them were soaked in fluid when we found them. The fluid was enough to wash away the soot that remained in their mouths. ”
"It's not impossible." Jun Qinglan nodded slightly: "Because of this, I looked more carefully."
Jun Qinglan simply picked up Shen'er's skull from the ground and handed it to Li Congyao: "What color do you see Shen'er's teeth and mouth?" ”
Li Congyao frowned, looking at this, he seemed to refuse in his heart, and he was very disgusted. But he didn't refuse, still looking closely: "Yellow, slightly black." ”
"The yellowing of the bones is due to age, and because of the soak in the fluid, a layer of water alkali has formed on the surface of the bones. Her teeth were blackened because she hadn't taken proper care of her teeth before she died. However, these are not the colors of soot. ”
These are certainly not the color of soot!
When the smoke in the mouth and nose changes from gaseous to solid, it takes on a light gray color. If the gray is covered too much, it will also show a similar color to black. But it's not the same as the black in Shen'er's mouth.
"People die in a fire, often not because they are scorched by the fire, but because they choke on the soot and can't breathe, so the amount of soot that can cause suffocation is not a small number. There is a large amount of bodily fluid in the human body, which causes the attached soot to become a sticky paste that adheres to the body. They were supposed to disappear with the decay of the muscles, but ......"
Jun Qinglan groaned and said, "Have you forgotten, how long did that fire burn?" ”
