Chapter 131: Vines
Although Xuejiazhai has experienced a catastrophe, the gate of the village is still well preserved, but on the door, why is there a dummy made of straw?
"The Xue family is a famous family in the previous dynasty, and I have never heard of such a custom." Yan Weilin circled around the scarecrow: "This scarecrow is very rough, like someone is playing a prank." ”
"The handicraft is not very good, and it has not gone through nine years of compulsory education at first glance." Yan Suwen muttered in a low voice, "Forget it, let's leave this scarecrow alone." ”
"That's it, we're here to find a beautiful tongue, what do you do with a scarecrow? Could it be that this scarecrow can still become a ghost? Gu Yunfei said, picked the scarecrow twice with his sword, and then let out an exclamation: "Oh my God, there are really ghosts in this scarecrow!" ”
"What the hell?"
"Headless ghosts!" Gu Yunfei said, and picked the straw on the scarecrow man with his sword. Yan Su asked them only then did they see that in the middle of the scarecrow, that is, the part of the torso, there was really a human torso.
"Ma'am, can you tell if this is a man or a woman?"
"Woman, and it should be a young woman."
"How does Madame see that?" Gu Yunfei humbly asked.
"Because the second characteristic is different from that of men. As for why she was judged to be a young woman, it was because she had a thin waist. ”
"Thin waist?" Gu Yunfei glanced at the torso in the straw: "It's all like this, can Madame still see that her waist is thin?" ”
"All like that? This is a very well-preserved dried corpse, okay? Although only one torso remains, there are no traces of vandalism on the torso itself, and the internal organs are relatively well preserved from the symptoms of dehydration. Based on the experience of a medical student, I can deduce what she looked like when she was alive by the size of her dehydrated waist. Such a slender waist can only belong to an unmarried girl or a woman who is married but has not given birth to a child. ”
"High! Madame is really tall! ”
"Madame is not tall, it's just right to stand in front of Yan Qing." Yan Su asked and returned to Gu Changfeng's side with a smile: "What do you think, adult?" ”
Gu Changfeng shook his head.
"Madame is better at this."
"The torso is cut neatly, probably with a large knife, such as a guillotine. But it's good, why did the murderer wrap the cut torso in a scarecrow and hang it on the door of Xuejiazhai? Peculiar fetishes? ”
"What do you mean by a special fetish?" Gu Yunfei asked curiously like a baby.
"It's a special preference, for example, when someone gets up early in the morning to wash his face, he must first put his hair back together, and put it back in a mess. Because this habit belongs to only a small number of people, or even a single person, it is called a special fetish. ”
"Do you have any special fetishes, ma'am?"
"Yes, and quite a few." Yan Suwen looked at the torso hanging in mid-air, and concluded: "For example, no matter where I go, I must take my small medicine box with me. For example, when I go to bed, I put a scalpel next to my pillow, and this scalpel has examined the corpse. ”
When he heard the small medicine box, Gu Yunfei still looked disapproving, but when he heard Yan Su put a knife on the pillow to dissect the dead when he was sleeping, his gaze changed in an instant. It's not easy for their grandfather.
"Yunfei, sword!" Yan Suwen stretched out his hand, and Gu Yunfei subconsciously handed over the long sword in his hand.
As soon as his hand started, the sword light flashed from the torso, and the torso fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
"Look, what's that?" Yan Suwen pointed to the flattened neck, a vine with small leaves poking out of it.
"Why does this thing look so much like a smaller beauty's tongue?" Gu Yunfei touched his chin.
"It's really like a beautiful tongue." Yan Suwen clenched his sword tightly: "I hope, it's not what I think." ”
"I'll do it!" Gu Changfeng walked behind Yan Suwen and held her hand holding the sword: "This sword is not suitable for you." ”
Yan Suwen obediently let go and stood aside, but his eyes were fixed on the torso, and he was reluctant to even blink. Gu Changfeng held the sword and pulled a smooth sword flower in mid-air, and with the traces of the sword flower's swimming, the torso, which was already seriously dehydrated, was cut from the middle by the sword, leaving a shallow furrow on the shriveled skin.
"Gross!" Gu Yunfei's face changed, and he almost vomited.
In the seemingly ordinary torso of the female corpse, there were many vines, and those vines passed through her bones, internal organs, and blood vessels, making people's scalps numb.
"These vines should only grow after they die."
"How does Madame know?"
"For the living cannot endure such suffering." Yan Suwen carefully observed the direction of the vines inside her torso: "At the moment, we can't tell whether she took the seeds of this vine by mistake, or if someone deliberately let her eat it." ”
"Is it a beautiful tongue?" Yan Weilin asked on the side.
"It should be." Yan Suwen carefully took off a leaf and handed it to Yan Weilin: "It seems that the eldest sister didn't lie to us, this Xuejiazhai is indeed a place where there is a beautiful tongue." ”
"The beauty tongue can cause the limbs to stiffen, is the seed of the beauty tongue the same?"
"It's hard to say." Yan Suwen looked into Xue's village: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”
Passing through the gate of Xuejiazhai with a scarecrow hanging from it, I passed through a street that had obviously been burned by fire, and arrived at the innermost part of Xuejiazhai.
"This Xue Jiazhai ......" When he saw the house in front of him, Yan Suwen stopped: "When I first came in, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It wasn't until I crossed the street and saw this house, and this tree next to it, that I came by name. The layout of this Xuejiazhai is exactly the same as that of Yanjiazhuang. ”
"Exactly the same as Yanjiazhuang?" Gu Changfeng also became uncalm after hearing this. "If you look closely, it's really exactly the same, or if it's just the same somewhere."
"Except for that walled gate, everything else is really exactly the same." Yan Suwen pointed to the yard in front of him: "This yard is the yard where my father and I live in Yanjiazhuang, even this tree, this shed, and the furnishings in the yard are the same." If these two places are not written by the same person, this matter becomes too strange. ”
"Lord Yan, do you know who designed this Xue Jiazhai?"
Yan Weilin shook his head: "The world only knows that this Xue family village was built by Xue Dingshan with his clansmen, but they don't know who planned and designed it. Oh, by the way, Xia Guan remembered something. ”
"What?"
"When the Great Wei Dynasty was first established, the most famous thing in my Yan family was not medical skills, but a person."
"Who?"
"Yan Weidong, according to his seniority, the lower officials should call him the second uncle. Xiaguan's second uncle is the only weird person in the Yan family who doesn't like to study medicine, and it is said that when he was young, he behaved like Suwen's father, who is now my second uncle. ”
"What does the eldest brother mean is that the reason why our second uncle is famous is because he is not doing his job like my father?"
"Nope! Although the Yan family has studied medicine for several generations, they have not regarded studying medicine as the only right way. It's just that after a few generations, the Yan family has nothing else to show off except for their medical skills. The reason why the second uncle is called a weirdo is not because he does not do his job, but because he loves wood and likes to build houses. Most of the Yan family worked in the Tai Hospital, but only the second uncle served in the Ministry of Industry, and he was a waiter in the Ministry of Industry at that time. Another strange thing is that the second uncle refused to marry a wife and have children in order to build a house. This third monster is that the second uncle has built a house for a lifetime, but when he was dying, he told the clansmen not to put him in a coffin, nor to build a tomb, but to cremate him and scatter him on the land of the Yan family. Death does not leave a whole corpse, don't say that it is in our Great Wei, even in all dynasties, I have never seen such a ruthless person to himself. Fortunately, my Yan family is studying medicine, and they also have a more understanding of life and death than ordinary people, and they all follow the instructions of the second uncle. ”
"So, the house in Yanjiazhuang ......"
"It was built by the second uncle himself. At that time, everyone thought that the second uncle wanted to relieve his armor and return to the field, but after Yanjiazhuang was built, the second uncle never went back. ”
"What is the relationship between the second uncle and Xue Dingshan?"
"Acquaintance, but there should be no deep friendship. However, this is not certain, many good confidants in the officialdom will calculate each other when they take off their official clothes. Some are-for-tat in the court, looking hostile, but they are confidants when they take off their official clothes. The official clothes on this body are like masks, and no one knows what kind of face is hiding behind. The life of the second uncle is not legendary in the eyes of my Yan family, but apart from knowing that he was responsible for supervising the construction of many important places in our dynasty, I know very little about his personal life. Therefore, what is the relationship between the second uncle and Xue Dingshan, I am afraid that only the two of them know. ”
"Hey, if only I had been a few years earlier. The second uncle, Xue Dingshan, sounded like they were all very interesting. ”
"Is it more interesting than me?" Gu Changfeng asked coldly, obviously a little apprehensive and a little unhappy.
"If you talk about interesting, you are better than Yan Qing, but if you are talented, you must be Yan Qing you are the best. Also, if you say who is the most suitable person to marry me in this world, it must be you. ”
"Lord Yan, I feel uncomfortable, can I lend your shoulder to lean." Gu Yunfei said, leaned towards Yan Weilin's body, and waited until he got closer, and then said in a very small voice: "Lord Yan, do you think that this second sister of your family is very talented in demagogy. What kind of person was my grandfather before, and now he can say such child-like words. I feel that our Great Wei is very dangerous. ”
"They are husband and wife, the original husband and wife, and it doesn't matter if they say these things. It's General Gu Xiao, shouldn't you also find a girl you like? ”
"Well, my heart hurts, I feel like I've been stabbed." Gu Yunfei covered his chest and wailed, but Yan Weilin slowly took out a silver needle and gestured at Gu Yunfei's chest: "Why don't you let the subordinate give you a needle to the little general?" ”
