Chapter 37: The Infant Corpse

The excavations were carried out in an orderly manner for several days, and many tombs were unearthed.

Abidan took me with me every day like a younger brother, chatting blindly while cleaning several tombs.

I also asked her, I have learned everything, why do you still have to help me work every day?

She said that she was about the same age as me, and that she had graduated from a serious school, that they shared a lot of languages, and that they had someone to talk to.

What more can I say about this reason?

On this day, there was a "new discovery" on the construction site, a very small boat-shaped coffin, about thirty or forty centimeters long.

Abidan took me over to watch the tomb of a child who said that it must be a child's tomb so small, but I had never seen it, so I went over with her to watch the excitement.

The previous process was the same, but the moment the coffin lid was opened, a withered and hideous baby face appeared.

I shuddered, cold sweat broke out on my back, and this time I was a little scared.

Before, whether I cleaned it up or what I saw when others cleaned it, the face was relatively calm and peaceful, and the child looked very painful, even a little angry.

I turned my head to look at Abidan, who was staring at the child motionless, but not as if she was frightened. I shook my hand in front of her, and she came back to her senses as if she was in a daze, and said to me, "This child is so small."

"yes, I look like a baby, and I died not long after I was born."

"It's so pitiful, let's not look at it."

"Cheng, let's go." After that, we went back and continued to do our thing.

The child's tomb has also been protected as a whole, and it is ready to be brought back for research, and it seems that such a young child has never been produced before.

But the appearance of this child is deeply engraved in my eyes, people can always remember the things that scare them very clearly, and my mind is also full of all kinds of questions about him, why did he die so early? Why did he have this expression?

Although this child is not unclean, it is no better than unclean, and the hollow eyes and horrified expression will flash inadvertently throughout the day, all the way to sleep.

I was disturbed by the appearance of a child in my mind this night, I slept lightly, and I had a few lucid dreams that did not match the sidelines, and when I woke up in a daze, I found that sleeping was more tired than not sleeping, so I simply opened my eyes wide, woke up well, and went back to sleep.

I slept with a few old men, and Team Chen also shared a tent with me, and the snoring was coming and going at this time, but fortunately, I was used to living in a group dormitory, and I couldn't hear it when I was sleepy.

Abidan lived alone in the kitchen, not because she was asked to cook, she didn't have any other tents to live alone, or she had to live in a tent in the warehouse and dried corpses as company. Fortunately, we men have a lot of rules, no one goes to the kitchen every day after the meal, she goes to bed early and gets up early, but it can't be hindered, and the kitchen has water to wash her face or something, which is very convenient for her.

I stared at my eyes for a while, and I only felt that people were becoming more and more awake, the tent was tightly wrapped, and it was dark and rumbling, and I couldn't see my watch, I didn't know the time, but based on my sleep quality just now, it was only one or two o'clock in the morning at most.

I couldn't sleep, but luckily I got up from the bed, wrapped up in clothes, went out to pee, and looked at the stars again. I have to say that after coming to the Northwest, looking at the stars has become a part of my life, because there is nothing else to see, and because there is no other place in the starry sky here.

In the desert, there is no such thing as open urinating, because the "crime scene" disappears very quickly, so no one is taboo, only the usual daytime work is a little bit of Abidan. But it's late at night, and it's the same everywhere.

However, as soon as I stepped out of the tent and closed the curtain, and got rid of the snoring from within, I heard a sound from the other direction, not loud, creaking like a mouse. But when I thought about it, no, even if it's a mouse, it's a big mouse, and such a big mouse can't be native to this desert, right? Could it be that they came with our supplies?

Under the starry sky, in fact, the surroundings are not so dark, and after adapting, not to mention being able to see clearly, at least the outlines of things are clear.

I looked for the sound and found that the curtain of the tent in the warehouse was lifted, and I immediately felt that something was wrong, there was no strong wind tonight, and the only one who could lift the curtain was - people.

Oh no, it's not going to be a tomb robbery again, is it? It's a lot easier to steal the goldstone team's warehouse directly.

The last experience at LL made me very alert, and I quickly scanned my surroundings, but there were no more camels. I thought to myself, could it be that I had parked the camel somewhere else, and when I had it, I would quietly transport it back to the camel and escape?

Thinking of this, I wanted to hurry into the tent and call people, but after thinking about it, no, anyway, they don't have camels, even if they steal something, I will shout when the time comes, we are too many people and there are transportation, so we don't have to worry about not being able to catch them, there is no need to toss people now, and scare the snakes.

So I cautiously walked to the back of my tent and stared at the curtain so that when someone came out, I could shout and catch the thief.

There was still a creaking sound inside, and I wondered if these people were prying into the box and stealing the dried corpses inside. After waiting for a while, there was suddenly no sound inside, and my heart tightened, knowing that it was about to come out, and I stared even more closely, not even daring to blink my eyes more.

Suddenly, a person came out of the curtain, and I was about to shout, but my eyes saw it clearly, huh? Isn't this Abidan?

I said in my heart that this is so bold, I don't sleep in the middle of the night, check the warehouse? We don't have any duty scheduled.

I was about to go over and say hello to her, when I realized something was wrong!

She didn't come out alone, she still had something in her arms, and at first glance, wasn't it the dried corpse of the baby she found during the day?

I broke out in a cold sweat again, withdrew my feet that had been lifted, and retreated back into the shadows, quietly watching what she was doing.

I saw her holding the baby, not like holding the corpse, but like a mother holding her own son, I feel a little bad, Abidan is usually a normal person, and it is impossible to come to rob the tomb, is it possible, she wants to study this "new discovery" one step ahead? That's not necessary.

When I think about it, it seems that only this explanation is the most plausible. But then I thought, could it be this little thing that is doing it?

I saw her carrying the baby's corpse, going into the kitchen, and closing the curtains. A new idea came to my head, she wouldn't want to eat this child, would she? But I immediately stopped thinking that it was ridiculous.

I was thinking where I was, should I go over and have a look. Without looking, if something strange happens, Abidan is likely to be in danger; Look, will Abidan be upset?

After thinking about it, hey, no matter what, Abidan and I are quite familiar with each other, and she shouldn't do anything to me.

So I crept up to her tent and found that the curtain was not completely closed, and there was a glimmer of light coming through it. I was about to open the curtain and go in, but I was still a little confused, so I decided to peek through the crack in the curtain first.

I crept up to the curtain and put my eyes on the slit, and the first second, I saw Abidan sitting in front of the light with the baby in her arms, and maybe the second before I saw that she had undressed and breastfed the child!

I'm a young man with strong blood, and I'm a little dizzy when I see this scene, but I immediately know that there must be something wrong with this little thing! At least normal Abidan can't have breastfed a dried corpse.

What to do now, how can I save Abidan? I took two steps back, trying to forget about all the other thoughts in my head and concentrating on what to do with the little things.

Call someone? That's not good, a big girl sits in it and feeds, calling a group of men to come and watch? Isn't this a lack of virtue? So I've got to figure it out myself, but no one has taught me how to deal with it, huh?

I only remember that it was written in the book that a child who died before the age of two, or a stillborn fetus that did not see the light of day, was the most vicious, the most vicious, could feed on human blood, and looked at the dick almost as much as possible. Holy, it won't not be feeding, but?

I don't dare to think any further, it is very dangerous for Abidan to leave the country at this time. In any case, you have to cut off its food first.

I didn't care much, and hurried into the storeroom, although I was a little frightened by the dried corpses all around, but I still took out an iron wedge from the toolbox, this thing looked like the head of a spear, but it was a blunt instrument, and I didn't usually use it, only when I encountered a tightly stained cowhide, I used it instead of a knife, and cut a gap between the cowhide and the coffin.

I said in my heart, it's you, this thing is easy to use!

I rushed to Abidan's kitchen with an iron wedge in my right hand, my plan was simple, perhaps inspired by the big waist to fight foxes at the time, and sometimes a simple and crude way to deal with this kind of thing could be the most effective.

When I reached the curtain, I stopped, and I made sure that Abidan was only about ten meters away from me. I held my breath and silently counted "three, two, one!" in my heart! ”

I rushed straight in, didn't think of anything, and swung the iron wedge at the corpse.

There was a lot of movement when I entered the door, and Abidan looked up at me, her eyes were very different from usual, and the moment I met hers, her eyes were full of fierceness, and even red bloodshots. She was about to react, but I was faster, and in that moment, I thought I was going to break the thing, but I didn't expect it to be elastic, and it just got sunk into a hole and fell to the ground.

Abidan also fell to the ground as if he had suddenly lost his soul.

I was about to help Abidan when I saw that the things on the ground actually started to move, and I struggled as if I wanted to get up! I know, it seems that my heart is very soft at this point...
