The torches on the wall had long since been burned, and only the light of the fire in the main burial chamber remained, and I wiped my sweat and sat down on the ground, panting and exclaiming, "No more! If you continue to do this, you will die of exhaustion before being eaten by insects! ”

"Hold on, you might find out in a while." Liu Yunsheng cleaned up the gravel and said firmly, but he had said this sentence no less than ten times, and I was already immune, so I continued to sit on the ground and put it up.

In the blink of an eye, it was nearly an hour, and Liu Yunsheng finally couldn't hold on anymore, and it happened that the fire outside began to weaken, so we returned to the main burial chamber together and threw the wood found in the cleaning into the fire as fuel.

The burial chamber and the underground cavity are connected by robbery holes, and these woods also absorb a lot of moisture, and they crackle when they burn, will they blow up a few hot sparks, I stepped on the sparks that burst out one by one, and accidentally saw the black lacquer coffin not far away suddenly flashed: "Will the antidote be in the coffin?" ”

Liu Yunsheng was looking at the fire in a daze, and shook his head without thinking about it: "I've seen it, and there are only rotten fabrics and cotton wool in it." ”

"Not necessarily, maybe there's something you haven't noticed!" I didn't believe in evil, so I took a burning stick of wood from the fire and went to the coffin to study it.

In fact, there is nothing to study, just like Liu Yunsheng said, the decent funeral goods have been looted, and only a pile of rotten and unsightly fabrics remains, but these fabrics are very dry, and a large amount of dust will fly up at the slightest touch, making the coffin seem to be foggy.

I fanned the dust and withdrew a few steps, saying that even if there was an antidote, it would be rotten into slag, and I returned to the fire dejectedly, and saw Liu Yunsheng moving the coffin lid that had been turned to the side, and it was being split into strips for firewood.

I don't know what kind of wood this coffin is, it still has a faint fragrance when it is burned, and it smells a bit like a camphor tree, but I don't think anyone should put the body in the mothball, so I asked Liu Yunsheng casually: "You are well-informed, do you know what kind of wood this coffin is made of?" ”

"Pine." Liu Yunsheng glanced at the section and replied.

"Impossible, right? Doesn't pine smell like rosin when burned? I wondered.

Liu Yunsheng said: "Pine burning is indeed the smell of rosin, but what you smell now is not the smell of wood burning, but the paint on it." ”

"I see."

I nodded suddenly, and as soon as I finished speaking, my eyes suddenly lit up and looked at Liu Yunsheng, Liu Yunsheng also turned his head to look at me at the same time, and then the two of us shouted in unison: "Paint!" ”

Parasites live in corpses, and the only place in the burial chamber where there are corpses is the coffin, pine wood has no insect repellent effect, and the parasite has been keeping to itself most likely because of the paint on the coffin!

While speaking, we have come to the coffin, Liu Yunsheng didn't know where to feel a knife, scraped off the lacquer surface a little, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said: "There seems to be some kind of Chinese medicine ingredient in this, do you know anything about Chinese medicine?" ”

"I am Mr. Feng Shui, not Mr. Zatang, how can I have an understanding of Chinese medicine?" I said helplessly.

Liu Yunsheng sighed, thought for a while and continued: "The use of traditional Chinese medicine is nothing more than two ways: external application and internal administration, if the key to restraining parasites is really on these paints, you can rule out internal use, let's try it first?" ”

I pondered for a while and found that there was no problem and nodded in agreement, Liu Yunsheng scraped some paint and put it in the palm of his hand, and went to the thief hole to get water and mix it into a paste, I couldn't help but feel a little more confident when I saw this, because the general paint is insoluble in water, and these paint surfaces can be mixed by water, indicating that there is indeed something unique, as for whether it has an effect on those parasites, I don't know.

The blended black paint looks a bit like a mask to remove blackheads, Liu Yunsheng first did an experiment on his arm, and after applying it evenly, he began to squint his eyes and feel it carefully.

Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the color of the paint should have dried, but Liu Yunsheng kept squinting his eyes and didn't react, so I couldn't help but ask, "How is it?" Do you feel it? ”

Liu Yunsheng shook his head, my back was cold, and I said in my heart, should I really swallow the coffin paint raw?

As soon as this thought appeared in my mind, I saw that the paint on Liu Yunsheng's arm seemed to move, at first I thought I was wrong, and then the whole palm-sized paint surface suddenly bulged with countless tiny points, like something was desperately squeezing out!

"There it is!"

Liu Yunsheng shouted and suddenly clenched his fists, and I saw a layer of fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and made a "cluck"

The sound of the noise, as if enduring some great pain!

"Are you alright?" I hurriedly asked, but Liu Yunsheng didn't have time to pay attention to me at all, his clenched fists were full of green muscles, and his eyes were staring at the lacquer surface on his arms, and I looked at his expression as if he wanted to rip off that piece of meat!

Finally, a small worm-like worm broke through the paint and came out, followed by a second and a third...... In just ten seconds, hundreds of insects came out, fell to the ground and writhed desperately, and soon there were insects out of the pores near the paint surface, and my scalp was numb, so I hurriedly used a small wooden strip to put the insects into the fire and burned them to death, and it took two or three minutes before the insects came out.

Liu Yunsheng was lying on the ground and the whole person collapsed, his painted arm was dripping with blood, I couldn't help but worry about his future when I saw him like this, although I don't know what it feels like to be dewormed, but Liu Yunsheng is a ruthless character who can even take back his dislocated arm by himself, he has been tossed like this, I estimate that I can't stand it.

"Lao Liu? How are you? ”

I tentatively shouted a few times, Liu Yunsheng lay on the ground and didn't react at all, I sighed, folded his white shirt and padd his head, and took off half of my sleeves to go to the thief hole to soak him and wipe his body, and then sat by the fire and waited for him to wake up.

Looking at the dancing flames, I suddenly thought of a question: Liu Yunsheng said that the water in the underground cavity is full of dormant parasites, and I just used that water to wipe his body, will I bring parasites to him again? And even if we solve the parasites in our body here, won't we be parasitized again when we dive out?

Thinking of this, I quickly took out a flashlight to shine on his arm, the flashlight was running out, the light was very dim, I had to put my eyes close to see clearly, the skin painted with coffin paint was clean, only the pink halo of flesh, but there were still a large number of small insects moving in other places that were not painted with coffin paint.

"It seems that coffin paint not only repellent insects, but also seems to have a preventive effect." I muttered and put my mind at ease, seeing that Liu Yunsheng couldn't wake up for a while, and I was really bored, so I ran to the coffin with his knife and began to scrape the paint.
