Chapter 54: The coffins of the ancients and the corpses of today
Let's say that Su came to see Ji Xing with good intentions, and Ji Xing asked her to accompany her to the grave.
These rich children in Beijing were tired of playing on the ground, so they started the idea of going underground, and often went to dig ancient tombs in groups of several people, purely for fun. Jixing usually does not do this less, but Su Haoyi has not participated.
Standing in the sun for a while, Su Haoyi had sweat on his back and asked Jixing, "Where did you say that place is?" Far from it? ”
"It's not far, it's not far away, it's less than ten miles west from here. There's a big grave of a former generation there, which has been dug up, so let's go there today. Ji Xing said casually.
Su was still timid, and begged: "Why don't you just dress up for me, let's go down another day, okay?" ”
Ji Xing looked aggrieved and said, "Don't want it, you said that you will accompany me to the ground." ”
Seeing his aggrieved little appearance, Su Haoyi suddenly felt distressed, and hurriedly said, "Okay, it's all up to you." ”
Ji Xing put on a smile again, took Su Haoyi's hand and ran to the opposite tree to get a bag of things.
Because the weather is really hot and the sun is particularly hot, Su Haoyi picked two lotus leaves, and two people put them on their heads, which were used as umbrellas. When I arrived at that place, I saw that the strange trees in the deserted village were desolate, and there was a small village in the distance.
The bag that Ji Xing had brought with him contained iron tools, torches, and some dry food and water. However, after walking this way, the water was basically drunk.
Su Haoyi only saw the boss a mound of dirt, on which the grass was overgrown. Ji Xing circled around the mound, found the entrance, and said happily: "The entrance is not filled, we have to work hard." Don't hesitate, come in! ”
Su Haoyi followed behind Ji Xing with the courage to do so, although the entrance was narrower and required to be bent on the waist, but the tomb inside was very spacious, and there was no problem at all for the two of them to run side by side.
Ji Xing lit the torch, shone on the surrounding walls and said, "The owner of this tomb must be a noble man from the previous dynasty, just look at the murals on this wall." ”
Su Haoyi didn't have the heart to look at those, but he felt that the eyes of the people on the mural were looking straight at him, and he couldn't help muttering: "I really don't know how you like to come to this place, it's gloomy." ”
"Naturally, it's because it's fun," Ji Xing said happily, "You don't know, I have a lot of new makeup styles, all of which are borrowed from the murals underground." ”
Su Haoyi was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't know how the girls in the Chu Waist Pavilion who were lining up to let Ji Xing paint new makeup would feel when they knew about it.
"You think, we can't see the customs and humanities of the previous dynasty, but we can get a glimpse of it from here, isn't it a good thing?" Ji Xing especially wanted Su to agree with him.
"I don't think it's good to disturb people's peace after all." Su snorted and said.
"What's this? If a person dies and ignorance, it is no different from dirt and rubble, and there is no such thing as bothering. If there is a spirit after death, it must be very lonely to be buried in the ground, and it is quite good to have someone occasionally. Ji Xing said unashamedly.
Su Haoyi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid that the tomb owner will leave you behind to relieve your boredom?" ”
"Of course I'm not afraid, we're all pure yang men, so we won't be afraid of it! Besides, unlike ordinary tomb robbers, we don't take the grave owner's things. ”
When Su Haoyi heard this, he couldn't help but be afraid, and said, "I'm not a man, what if he wants to keep me?" ”
"How dare he?! Then I'll drag him outside and go to the corpse! Ji Xing narrowed his eyes and said, "But don't worry, the dead are always afraid of the living." I remember one time, we entered an ancient tomb, opened the coffin, and saw that the people inside were like life. Sui Lao Er had to carry the man out to drink with him, but when he dragged him out, he only heard a grunt, and a green jade watermelon fell out of the man's arms, the size of a real watermelon. Immediately after that, the owner of the tomb became ashes and was dissolved to the ground. ”
Su Haoyi knew that the second son of Sui that Ji Xing was talking about was the second son of General Sui's family, and he often mixed with Ji Xing and them.
However, the truth that Ji Xing said scared her too much, Su Hao Yi shrank her neck and said, "Don't say it, I have weak legs when I hear it." ”
As they spoke, they had already entered the tomb, and there were indeed many colorful paintings on the walls around them. In the middle is a large colored coffin, the lid of which has been lifted and placed horizontally on the coffin.
The floor of the burial chamber was a little messy, scattered with bits and pieces of funerary goods, and the smell of it was disgusting.
"It smells terrible." Su Haoyi couldn't help but retched twice.
"It's better to cover your mouth and nose with this cloth." Ji Xing gave Su a square scarf to kindness, and said a little strangely: "It's been a long time since this tomb was opened, how can it still smell?" ”
Su Haoyi folded the scarf in half and tied it behind his ear, and Ji Xing was already holding a torch and admiring the mural on the wall with fascination.
Su Haoyi's heart was beating wildly, and he didn't dare to get too far away from Jixing.
There was originally silence in the tomb, but suddenly there was a sound in the coffin, which startled Su Haoyi, and grabbed Ji Xing's arm at once.
Ji Xing hurriedly turned around to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, it should be a mouse in the coffin." ”
"Let's get out of here, it's really panicked here." Su Haoyi only felt a chill behind him.
"No wonder all the girls you have there call you a little mouse," Ji Xing looked at Su Haoyi with a smile: "It turns out that you are so timid!" Since you're here today, just train your courage a little bigger. ”
Ji Xing said and pulled Su Haoyi to the coffin, Su Haoyi didn't dare to move forward, closed his eyes and shouted: "Don't!" No! ”
"Don't be afraid, watch me pull the tomb master out of the coffin!" As he spoke, he picked up the torch and put it into the coffin, stretching out his hand.
Su Haoyi was so frightened that he covered his eyes with both hands, and stomped his feet vigorously: "Death Jixing!" If you scare me again, I'll break up with you! ”
Ji Xing originally had a hippie smile, but when he saw the situation in the coffin, his color immediately became solemn.
Su Haoyi thought that he was not scaring himself, so he said: "If you want to see the murals, you can look at them for a while, let's go out, I have to go back to the city." ”
"Hachiro, I'm telling you, it's not right." Jixing Road.
"Of course it's not right, I said it was not good a long time ago, just get out quickly." Su said kindly.
"There's a dead man in this coffin." Jixing Road.
"What are you talking about? Is there still a living person in the coffin? Su was about to be laughed at by him.
"No, this dead man is fresh." Ji Xing said: "It should have only been a few days since he died. ”
"Didn't you say this is a tomb from the previous dynasty? Did he also carry some treasure on him, so it didn't rot? Su said kindly.
"Probably not, he has no clothes on at all," Ji Xing said, "and it's not a good death." ”
Su Haoyi's legs were weak and he fell to the ground: "That...... What should we do? ”
"Report to the police!" Ji Xing said cautiously: "Human life is at stake, and it cannot be hidden." ”
