7. Discoveries in the valley
The three of us went into the valley and the fire destroyed all the houses and the trees that were already dense were burned to pieces. For several hours, all life was engulfed in flames. Mi Ye walked in front, turning over the wood that had been burned to ruins under the big trees, and Brother Neng and I also searched in the ruins, but in the end we didn't find any living creatures. Mi Ye looked at this former home in despair, and tears could not stop flowing down any longer.
We just sat in this ruin, waiting for Mi Ye's mood to calm down, the thick fog outside the valley and the valley was surrounded by death, but never invaded an inch of the land in the valley, Brother Neng and I felt very amazing when we watched all this. Brother Neng stood up at this time, took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, and handed me one, now we are all a little annoyed here, so it may be better to smoke a cigarette, Brother Neng and I are smoking on the side, Miye stood up, Brother Neng and I were startled. "No, smoking is not allowed here!" Brother Neng thought of what he said last time.
Mi Ye shook his head, and we both exhaled a big breath, as if we had been granted amnesty.
Mi Ye walked towards the largest tree, the original dense branches and leaves had been engulfed in the fire, leaving only a charred trunk, Mi Ye searched for traces of the original house under the tree.
The blackened wooden sticks were moved away by Mi Ye, and Brother Neng and I hurried over to help move them together, and soon, the original foundation of the house had been revealed, and Mi Ye walked to a corner, where there was a trace of a fire pit. I looked at Brother Neng, who nodded to me and said, "If I remember correctly, this is the big house we were in when you came to pick us up, Xiao Linzi and I stayed here for a long time, and I remember this stone on the side." ”
Brother Neng pointed to the ink-colored stone, Mi Ye quickly took out a pot of water from his bag, poured it on the stone, and then picked it up and quickly put it in his bag. Although she didn't say anything, after a few days, Brother Neng and I both guessed that this stone might be related to the ancient tomb mentioned by the man in the mountaineering suit. But now in this situation, it's not easy to ask in detail, mainly because we all feel that asking Mi Yeye will not necessarily answer us.
Miya continued to search the foundation, lying on her stomach and tapping the ground earnestly. Brother Wen and Neng stood to the side and looked at him, not knowing how to help.
Knock knock~
A hollow ground appeared, and Brother Neng and I hurriedly walked up to help, and after cleaning the dirt from the ground, a stone slab appeared in front of us. Brother Neng's eyes lit up when he looked at me, and he felt like he had seen some incredible treasure. After the three of us moved the stone slab away, a simple and heavy stone like a box appeared in front of us, and Brother Neng and I carried the stone up. Although the stone seemed to fit so tightly that I didn't know where it would open, it felt hollow when Brother Neng and I lifted it out. After Brother Neng and I carried it up, we knocked and touched around the stone, but we didn't find out how to open it.
"How do you open this?" I looked at Mi Ye and asked.
"That's right, could it be that it's just a dead Dongzi, and it can't be opened at all?" Brother Neng said a little discouraged.
Mi Ye didn't speak, just took out a patina from her backpack, this thing looked like a needle, but it was too thick. At one end of the needle are small teeth, which appear to be a key. Mi Ye asked me and Brother Neng to turn over the stone box, she put her hand on it, gently stroked the surface of the stone box, slowly touched it little by little, and finally stopped in one place, looked at me and Brother Neng, nodded at me and Brother Neng, she turned around, and gently pressed the place where her finger was.
"Let's do it~"
On the stone box, which was originally tightly sealed, a small hole suddenly appeared under Mi Ye's finger. Brother Neng and I watched this scene in amazement. At this time, Mi Ye inserted the needle-like key she took out into the keyhole. Brother Neng and I held our breath and looked at Mi Ye.
"Let's click~click~click"
A crack appeared in the stone box.
"You two open the lid." Mi Ye said to me and Brother Noh while receiving the key in her bag.
Originally, we were a little nervous when we looked at this stone box that could only be opened by heavy mechanisms, for fear that something poisonous mist or sharp arrows would appear when it was opened. But Brother Neng and I looked at Mi Ye so easily, and we both felt that it should be safe. So Brother Neng and I carried it to the side, the lid of the stone box was lifted by us, the moment the lid of the stone box opened, a burst of black mist poured out of the stone box, Mi Ye pushed me and Brother Neng away, and the stone cover was thrown to the ground. She jumped right next to me herself.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Yin Snake Gu's powder." Mi Ye said as she looked at the black mist floating on the edge of the stone box.
"Is it the Gu poison of the Miao people?" I asked again.
"No, Yin Snake Gu is a kind of Gu poison made of snakes, it is the Gu of the Yi people, people who are poisoned by this kind of Gu poison will be full of snakes in their minds when they sleep, if they drink this, they will form in the stomach, gnaw people's internal organs, and suck people's blood." Mi Ye said flatly. Listening to her explanation, my scalp tingled when I heard it.
When Mi Ye was talking, Brother Neng happened to come around from the other side, and when he heard this explanation, he couldn't help but vomit. Although Brother Neng is bold, he is especially afraid of this kind of reptiles, and he squeaks in fright every time he sees it. When we were in Hangzhou, I didn't believe it, I was very naughty at the time, and I took the neighbor's little black to Brother Neng, that kind of pet snake, a very small one, almost didn't scare Brother Neng to death, for which he also hid me for half a month.
I looked at Brother Neng sympathetically, took out the kettle from my bag, and handed it to Brother Neng. Brother Neng took the water and rinsed his mouth. He walked over and handed me back the kettle and said, "This is so fucking terrible, how can there be such a vicious Gu poison, Miss Miye, we are not poisoned, you hurry up and show me, I can't stand this." ”
Mi Ye walked over, squatted on the ground and looked at the black powder, and said; "Don't worry, after the fire, there is no Gu anymore."
Brother Neng was a little relieved, but he still didn't dare to walk over.
Mi Ye and I walked to the side of the stone box, inside is a beautiful wooden box, the size of the shoebox is about the same, on which is painted with exquisite phoenix bird pattern, the phoenix bird pattern on it is chic and handsome, and the air is very similar to the style of the Spring and Autumn Chu Kingdom. Mi Ye gently picked up this wooden box from the stone box, and then handed it to me for me to carry, I took a closer look, although the phoenix bird pattern on it belongs to the style of the pre-Qin period, but the wood is not so old, more like an imitation. But I have to say that the person who made this thing is very skillful, it uses the best fragrant wood, this wood has a straight grain and moderate hardness, which is very suitable for making wooden boxes, and the best cooked lacquer paints a delicate phoenix pattern on it. For people like me, its craftsmanship is impeccable, and it is a rare boutique on the market now.
Brother Neng watched from a distance, very excited, but because of the fear of the Yin Snake Gu, he didn't dare to come over, and kept going around there. I couldn't help but look at him.
"Puff~"
In the end, I couldn't hold back my laughter.
Mi Ye, who was about to open the box, glared at me fiercely.
