Feiyan remembered the appearance of the little white rabbit lying on the ground with blood and convulsions, and her heart suddenly shuddered, and she forced a smile: "Or... It's still the young master, let's wait on the sidelines. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly: "Forget it, let's find a way to catch fish, I don't believe that I can't stab a fish!" "Lift the wooden spear and go down to the sea again.

At this moment, they heard a few gloomy chirps from the sky, and the three of them looked up and saw a goshawk circling and flying in the air.

Feiyan took a look, and suddenly said nervously: "Young master, grandma, look at it, the eagle's feathers seem to be white. ”

“… It is! Xia Fengyi's voice also trembled a little.

Meng Tianchu felt slightly strange, and then remembered the strange legend that the boss of the big ship said, and couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart, the white eagle is not terrible, it is nothing more than an alienation phenomenon in the process of life, but after being associated with that terrifying legend, it makes people a little creepy.

The eagle circled in the mountains for a moment, and then, suddenly, swooping down at a rapid pace, swooped down on a green meadow, paused, and flew again with its wings flapping.

"Rabbit! That eagle caught a rabbit! Feiyan shouted as she pointed to the sky.

Sure enough, under the eagle's claws, there was a gray rabbit writhing and struggling, but it couldn't get out of the eagle's firm control.

The eagle grabbed the gray rabbit and flew into the air with its wings outstretched, onto a huge reef in front of the three of them.

Suddenly, the gray rabbit seemed to break free from the eagle's claws, and tumbled in the air and fell to the reef by the sea!

"Ah~!" Xia Fengyi and Feiyan both screamed, covering their eyes and not daring to look, and then, the hare fell heavily on the reef. There was a dull thud that could be heard clearly by the three people dozens of paces away, and the hare ground hit the reef and then bounced back onto the reef.

Feiyan waited blindfolded for a moment before lowering her hand and asking, "What about the hare?" ”

"A hare has no wings, and if it falls down so high in the air, of course, it is a dead end." Meng Tianchu sighed.

Xia Fengyi said: "Let's go and take a look, maybe the hare is not dead." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly: "What we eat hasn't landed yet, and we still have to worry about the hare - let's go." ”

The three of them walked towards the reef. Suddenly, the white eagle hovering in mid-air. Swooped down again, landing right next to the hare's carcass. His head twitched, as if he were pecking at a hare.

The swallow screamed, grabbed a stone, and struck it, and the eagle flew up, and then fell back again, and continued to peck at the hare.

Meng Tianchu carried the wooden grass and rushed to the reef first. The white eagle flew into the air. But he still hovered in the air and refused to leave.

Feiyan helped Xia Fengyi up the reef and came to the hare carcass. I saw that the hare had been smashed into a bloody blur, and where was there still life. They all exclaimed in surprise and turned away.

Meng Tianchu walked over to the hare corpse. He turned around and said, "Ha, now we have a hare to eat, this is not what we killed, this can always be eaten, right?" ”

Xia Fengyi and Feiyan glanced at each other, Feiyan smiled reluctantly, and said, "The eagle has eaten just now, let's eat it again, it's so dirty..."

"Just now the eagle just pecked through the head of the hare, and ate the brain of the hare, you see, there are still a lot of brains on the ground, and the hare's internal organs were just broken, you see, its body fur is still intact, which means that the eagle did not peck at its body, let's not eat the head."

Feiyan followed Meng Tianchu to dissect the corpse, and the psychological tolerance of the corpse had been significantly enhanced, and she stepped forward to take a look at the hare, and sure enough, she saw that there was a bloody hole on the top of the hare's head, and the hole and the rocks were covered with white brains. Turning back to Xia Fengyi, he said, "It's true, grandma, this hare just had a hole in its head chiseled through by the eagle, and its body doesn't seem to be injured." It should be edible. ”

Xia Fengyi didn't have the psychological capacity, so she didn't dare to look sideways: "The old boatman said that the white eagle was formed by the resentment of the fisherman who died miserably, pecked the enemy's head open, ate the brains inside, it pecked at the ground things, and it was always not clean... Otherwise, you two can eat, and I'll pick some wild vegetables to eat..."

Hearing Xia Fengyi say this, Feiyan's body trembled, and said to Meng Tianchu: "Young master, the slave maid and grandma are going to pick wild vegetables to eat, can you eat this hare yourself?" ”

"If you don't eat me, how can I eat alone." It seems that the second daughter is not very hungry, so there are still some taboos, although Meng Tianchu doesn't care if the eagle has pecked or not, but he can't eat alone, besides, there is no fire, there is no way to barbecue, it is really a quarrel with the eagle, thinking about it is a little uncomfortable, so he stood up: "Let's go fishing, if it doesn't work for a while, then we can only eat wild vegetables." It's just that there is no fire, and it can only be eaten raw. ”

Feiyan said, "Yes, if only we had flint and steel." ”

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, it's okay to have a magnifying glass, you can't learn from apes to drill wood for fire, how to drill wood for fire, you can't do it yourself. It seems that it can only be eaten raw.

The three of them slowly walked under the rocks, Xia Fengyi suddenly stopped, pointed to the sea, and said, "Look, what is that?" ”

Meng Tianchu and Feiyan looked in the direction of Xia Fengyi's finger, only to see something floating up and down not far away, the distance was relatively far, and they couldn't see what it was.

Feiyan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be something from our big ship?" ”

That thing had drifted closer and closer, this kind of thing was what Meng Tianchu was most familiar with, and he sighed and shook his head: "It's a female corpse!" ”

Yes! The two daughters all exclaimed, the corpse of man and earth is much more terrifying than a hare, Xia Fengyi nervously turned around and grabbed Meng Tianchu's arm and didn't dare to look at it, Feiyan had the experience of dissecting corpses with Meng Tianchu, so she was not so afraid. took two steps forward and put his hand on the pergola and took a closer look: "It seems to be really a corpse, the corpse is very swollen, so scary..."

"That's when the corpse decomposes underwater, producing a large amount of putrefactive gas, so the corpse swells, and this appearance is called the Corrupt Giant View."

By this time, the corpse had floated to a short distance from their rock, and the corpse was facing the sky on its back, and it was highly decomposed. Feiyan looked at it carefully and asked, "Young Master, this corpse is so swollen and deformed that you can't tell it at all, how did you see it?" ”

"The shape and size of the pelvis of men and women are different, resulting in a big difference in the center of gravity of men and women, the center of gravity of women is biased backwards, so the floating corpse is generally in a supine state, while the center of gravity of men is biased forward, so it is generally prone shape. The body was on its back to the sky. Therefore, the preliminary judgment is that it is a female corpse. ”

Xia Fengyi listened to the excitement of the two of them, and now it was broad daylight. And the husband is by his side, and he is a little bolder. He glanced sideways, not daring to look at the corpse's face, but only looked at his body, and quickly turned his head again.

Suddenly, as if she sensed something, she turned around and looked at it again: "Husband, it seems that this corpse is one of the women on our ship." ”

"Oh. How do you know? ”

"She... Her clothes look a lot like those of the women on our ship. ”

Because Meng Tianchu is a secret agent of the East Factory. Identities need to be hidden, so Yu Xinlong and Xiao Zhenpeng, as well as the male and female guards they brought, are all wearing civilian clothes. Yu Xinlong and Xiao Zhenpeng pretended to be Meng Tianchu's friends, and the other men and women of Dongchang were all guards.

Xiao Zhenpeng brought these Dongchang women, for the convenience of action. They were all wearing relatively tight-fitting clothes, and did not wear the floor-length skirts of ordinary Ming Dynasty women, Meng Tianchu didn't pay attention to what clothes these women were wearing, but Xia Fengyi noticed it, because girls are always very sensitive to clothing, and when they saw the costumes, plus the storm and shipwreck, it was easy to think of the women on the big ship.

Meng Tianchu muttered: "If this floating female corpse is the female fan on the ship, then maybe other Dongchang fans will also drift down the river, let's pay attention to observe and see if there are any survivors." ”

"Dongchang Fanzi?" Xia Fengyi and Feiyan looked at Meng Tianchu suspiciously at the same time.

Meng Tianchu was thinking about the shipwreck just now, and he didn't pay attention to the inside story, anyway, now that the second daughter is already the person next to his pillow, what else can he hide, Meng Tianchu said: "Lady, Feiyan, I'm sorry, I concealed your identity, in fact, I am the foreman of Zhengliupin East Factory in Hangzhou." Then, he briefly told the story of the incident, but concealed that he secretly used heroin to poison the hot springs of the second eunuch Bingbi to make him addicted. It was only said that the hot springs appreciated their ability to detect and absorbed themselves into the East Factory.

Dongchang is a hot department in the Ming Dynasty, who has such a relationship, then can find a tough backer, the people of Dongchang can be described as hateful and afraid, but also hope that they have such a backstage, this ambivalence is also human nature. Xia Fengyi is the home of the official eunuch, and her understanding of the people of Dongchang is far less strong than that of ordinary people, so there is no disgust.

Fujun turned out to be a six-grade official in Dongchang, which made Xia Fengyi surprised and delighted, tilted her head, Danfeng's eyes flashed, and she said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Meng Tianchu hugged her little waist and scratched her nose lightly: "My identity is secret, and at that time you always said that you were going to leave me, so you didn't tell you, didn't you tell you now." ”

Feiyan interjected on the side: "No wonder young master, you have so much money all of a sudden, and you have bought a mansion, and so many people are busy running around, it turns out that the young master is a big official!" ”

"What kind of official, my identity must be kept secret, and when I go back, don't leak it out."

Feiyan sighed, her eyes rolled, she remembered something, and said, "Maybe there is flint and steel on that woman's corpse, so we can make a fire and barbecue?" ”

"Hmmm! These Dongchang fans followed us out to protect us, and in the final analysis, they also died because of us, and they couldn't let her body be exposed like this, so they had to bury her body. You wait here for me, and I'll go and pull the body ashore. ”

The second daughter nodded, Xia Fengyi looked at the corpse floating in the sea, her face was a little pale, and she mustered up the courage to say: "Husband..., Feiyan and I will help you pull the corpse..."

"No, this corpse has been soaked and rotten, and if it can't be glued to the corpse water, it won't be removed for ten days and a half months. I can do it alone, you wait for me here, by the way, I'll take off the clothes from the female corpse, wash it and put it on you both, okay? ”

"Don't!" The two girls exclaimed in unison, and Feiyan added: "I'd rather be naked than wear!" ”

Meng Tianchu hugged her and slapped her on the buttocks: "Okay, anyway, there are just three of us on the island, it's better not to wear it, it's convenient~!" Hey. ”

Feiyan blushed. He glanced at him, turned his head, and pointed to the corpse in the sea: "Oops! The corpse is going to float away! ”

"Don't worry, this is a shallow sea area, and the sea is only waist-deep, so you can catch up!" Meng Tianchu said in his mouth, he was not idle under his legs, he carried Mu Mao down to the sea, came to the side of the corpse with water, and dropped Mu Mao. Push the corpse ashore with the other end.

Pushing the corpse all the way to the shore, Meng Tianchu looked down and observed the corpse. The body had been soaked in water for two days and two nights, and it was hot during the day. The skin has swelled and turned white and wrinkled, Meng Tianchu did not dare to grab her hands or feet, because the corpse that had been soaked for too long was pulled hard, and the epidermal layer and dermis layer of the skin of the hands and feet would be completely separated, just like taking off gloves and socks. So, he just grabbed the corpse under the armpit of the ground clothes. The body was dragged upside down to the beach.

The sword on the corpse was gone. Only one scabbard still hung from his waist, apparently when he was about to cut the rope. was swept away by the wind and waves, along with the man and the sword.

The face is already highly corrupted, and the body is swollen and deformed due to the action of the putrid gas in the body, let alone see the physiognomy clearly. I can't even tell if it's a man or a woman.

Meng Tianchu squatted next to the corpse, first checked the outside of the clothes, and found a waist card on his waist, and then looked at it, sure enough, it was the Dongchang waist card, judging from the waist card, the dead female fanzi was named Liu Lian.

Meng Tianchu put away the waist card, and then reached into his arms and took out all the things in the corpse's arms, all of which were women's gadgets such as handkerchiefs, sachets, rouge, and small bronze mirrors. In the end, he finally took out the two things that Meng Tianchu was looking forward to the most - flint and steel stones used for making fire in ancient times!

Meng Tianchu turned around, lifted the flint, and shouted to Xia Fengyi and Feiyan who were standing not far away: "Look what this is-flint, we can eat barbecue!" Then he threw the flint and steel over.

Xia Fengyi and Feiyan were overjoyed, picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but want to cheer, but when they saw the tragic death of the female fanzi, their hearts were sideways, and they couldn't be happy.

Xia Fengyi said: "Husband, you bury the corpse, let's find a way to make a fire, okay?" ”

"Good! Go for it! Meng Tianchu continued to search on the corpse, but he didn't find anything else, and when he was depressed, he saw a copper hairpin stuck in the corpse's hair, and he was happy in his heart, this thing is polished, it is a good spear, which is used to pierce the fish!

The corpse's hair was disheveled and entwined with the pendant on the hairpin, so that it was preserved in the wind and waves. However, it also took Meng Tianchu a long time to untie the hairpin from the messy hair.

Meng Tianchu tore a few more cloth belts from the hem of the corpse's coat, tied the hairpin to the wooden thatch, and a copper spear transformed from the hairpin was ready, and the rest only needed to be polished.

However, Meng Tianchu decided to bury the body first, after he put the spear away, he dragged the body to the grass on the hillside, without hoes and other tools, he first found a low-lying place, and then dug the ground with flat stones, and became a Paleolithic ancient person for a while.

It took half an hour to dig the depression half a meter deep, and the tools were not in hand, and he was so tired that he was panting, and he was almost able to bury the body, so he stopped.

He dragged the body into the pit and laid it down, buried it with earth, and then found some large stones to press on it, so that the wild beasts would not bite the body or even drag it away. Then pile dirt on top of it. It was piled up into a small grave bag. I folded a thick wooden stick and inserted it in the grave, and hung the female fanzi's waist card on the wooden stick branch and wrapped it around, which was a simple tombstone.

As soon as I finished my work, I heard Feiyan's voice shouting at the bottom of the hill: "Young Master~!" Where are you? We lit the fire! ”

Meng Tianchu agreed, went down the hill, and returned to the beach, only to see that a small bonfire had been lit on the beach in the distance, and Xia Fengyi and Feiyan's faces were very funny with smoke and black, and their faces were full of victorious smiles.

Wow! Meng Tianchu screamed and ran over to hug Xia Fengyi and turned around, and kissed her deeply on the red lips: "It rained overnight yesterday, and I still thought that the firewood was wet, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a fire, you two are really at stake!" ”
