Chapter 51: Jade Face Bone
"Stop him!"
Jinghai suddenly shouted.
I was startled and hurried to stop the old slippery head.
The old slippery head has been waiting for three years, but he doesn't want to think about the 'baby' he is looking for, right under his nose, and the fire is pressing in his heart, and this pickaxe has really put a lot of effort down.
I heard Jinghai remind me that it was too late, so I could only rush into a hurry and push him on the right shoulder. He had just been stabbed by me earlier, and when I pushed him, his pickaxe couldn't help but deviate a little under the pain.
But despite this, the earthen platform that had been soaked in ginger juice was still half smashed.
I seemed to hear a cracking sound, and the old slippery head became a little hazy when I looked at it.
It soon dawned on me that the reason why I couldn't see clearly was not because I was dazzled, but because the platform had been smashed down, and some of the powder had drifted into the air, obstructing my vision under the dim gasoline lamps.
I can't help but be a little surprised, I don't know how many years this earthen platform has existed, baked by the kang fire above, it has already become more tamped than ordinary bricks, and ginger juice has been poured in advance, how can it emit so much powder at once?
It is often said that the land containing treasures is often accompanied by poisonous insects and poisonous miasma, but these dusts are not poisonous, right?
I looked at the old slippery head again, only to see that he had retreated into the corner by the push I had just made, and had somehow put on a strange-looking mask.
I came back to my senses, and I hated this in my heart. Just now I pushed him, and the most I used was to push him, and the old girl was on guard early in the morning, taking the opportunity to avoid the dangers she might face, and pushing me to the forefront.
"Master, are you okay?" The old slippery head urn asked angrily.
I covered my mouth and nose and coughed a few times, and said, "It's okay, it's just choked on the dust that was raised." ”
The old slippery head stared at me for a while, and then slowly walked back, his eyes flashing, "I have to take a good look at what the hell has taken me three years." ”
As I wanted, after luring him here, I want to give him another sword to avenge this arrow.
But Jinghai secretly said to me: "Our family knows that you are annoyed with him in your heart, and this dark arrow revenge is naturally to be avenged, but we are not in a hurry." You just let him take that thing, and when you get to Siling Town, it's not too late to settle the account with him. ”
What the old monk said was reasonable, but although I dispelled the idea of attacking the old slippery head, I was extremely puzzled in my heart.
Because, after a moment of fright, before the old slippery head came over, I could already smell what the dust was.
The old slippery man seemed to be worried that I would get a black hand from behind him, looked at me vigilantly, took off the kerosene lamp from the wall beside him, and turned back to me and asked:
"Master, you don't come here to take long eyes, see what is here?"
I shook my head, spread my hands and took a few steps back.
Although the old slippery head was suspicious in his eyes exposed, the earth platform was what he had been looking for for many years after all. After a little hesitation, he didn't pay any attention to me, and went to take care of the earthen platform with an oil lamp.
Who knew that as soon as the oil lamp came over, a fire burst out of the earthen platform, followed by a muffled sound of "bang", accompanied by the sound of glass breaking, and the diffuse tongue of fire licked directly onto the face of the old slippery head.
The firelight flashed, and the hole was suddenly plunged into darkness, and in the darkness, only the moaning of the old slippery head could be heard.
Tang Yi heard the movement above and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's fine!" I turned on the flashlight that I had just held in my hand.
By the electric light, I saw the old slippery head sitting on the ground, with a mask on his face, several pieces of glass ballast inserted into the upper half of his face, and his right eye was bleeding nonstop.
The old slippery head was also really hard, and he only snorted a few times, and then groped and pulled out the broken glass from the corner of his eye:
"Huh...... Hehe, master, it's really a good means, the old man has never served anyone in his life, and this time he is really convinced. I used you as cannon fodder first, you win, I don't complain about you, let's get married. Let me just ask, how do you see that there is a mechanism here? ”
I stepped forward, crouched down, and shone a flashlight on his face, "It's okay, it didn't hurt my eyeballs." ”
"That's a mistake." Although the old slippery head did not hurt his eyeball, his right eye could no longer be opened, and one left eye was slanted towards me, but there was no hatred in his eyes, only a little doubt.
I said, "There's no mechanism here at all, it's because you're so anxious that you forgot the rules and went to the open fire in advance." ”
The old slippery head was stunned, and then punched the ground heavily, "Damn it, this time it's really resentful." ”
He took two breaths of relief, plucked the other glass ballast from his face, and asked me, "That cigarette just now is not poisonous?" Or do you have some elixir to avoid poison? ”
I took out the remaining half bottle of white medicine and handed it to him, "It's not a miasma, it's ashes." ”
"Ashes?"
I didn't say anything more, just shoved the vial into his hand.
Before he got off the pickaxe, I thought this dirt platform was a bit weird, and when the dust scattered under the first draft, I was really shocked. But soon it came to the smell that it was not some miasma poisonous mist, but diffuse ashes.
Nine times out of ten, there was an ash jar in the earthen platform, and the initial cracking sound when he got off the pickaxe was that he smashed the urn open.
Inhaling a small amount of ashes will only make you feel sick at best, and there will be no other harm.
When the old slippery head got off the pickaxe, I pushed him, and the pickaxe was a little off. The earthen platform is only partially hollow in the middle, and when a pickaxe goes down, only a small half of it is chiseled, and the gap exposed is very limited.
Long before I went to college, I had already read the news about the dust explosion on the Internet. Although some of the ashes were swept out by the air current, most of them remained inside the platform. When you encounter an open flame, then it doesn't blow up?
The old slippery head may not know this, but maybe he has been boiling for three years and is too anxious to get what is inside, or he may have put most of his mind on the calculating person, but he has made a lowest-level mistake. Half of his face was blown up, and the kerosene lampshade that was blown up collapsed into a melon, and he almost turned into a one-eyed dragon.
The old slippery man took off his mask, wiped his face vigorously, and did not take any medicine, but put away the mask and the white medicine I gave him, and went to inspect the earthen platform again.
The power of this small explosion was not small, and two-thirds of the earth platform collapsed.
The old slippery head didn't illuminate, only poked his upper body in, and soon shrank back, but there was already a white thing in his hand.
"Let's go, let's go out first, and then take a good look at what this is!"
Seeing that I was standing still, the old slippery man simply shoved the thing into my hand and climbed up first.
I took it in my hand and looked at it with even more doubt. Immediately without saying a word, he also climbed out.
"Are you alright?" Ji Yayun and Tang Yi asked me at the same time.
I shook my head and gently placed the object that the old slippery head had given me on the kang, while my eyebrows twisted into a pimple.
The old slippery head was pulled out of the earthen platform, and it turned out to be a human face bone carved from jade!
