For seven or eight seconds when the lights went out in the workshop, through the window, I could see that the street lights outside, and the lights in the building opposite, were on. I don't know if there will be a problem of a single building cutting off power in the original Sihai community, but I always feel that this situation is not very normal.

"Lao Yuan, will this community be powered off in this building?"

"I don't know, there hasn't been such a situation before." Yuan Sihai ran to the electric gate to take a look, and then came back to look at the lamp hanging on the roof: "Could it be that the lamp is not in good contact?" ”

After the two of us said a few words, I found that Cheng Sheng was standing in front of the table, holding a saw without making a sound. The old man was kind and talkative, but now he didn't speak, and I looked at him and felt that his face was a little pale.

"That ......" Cheng Sheng took advantage of the time when I was talking to Yuan Sihai, put down the saw in his hand, and then cleaned up the messy tools, and said while cleaning up: "This job, I don't charge money, I have to go home quickly, there is something going on at home......"

"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Sihai fainted all of a sudden, Cheng Sheng is a well-known signboard in the ancient industry, no matter how big or small the work is, he will never do it until he is halfway through.

"I don't collect money, I don't collect money, I do all this work in vain." Cheng Sheng didn't explain, and after packing up those tools, he planned to leave.

I obviously noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Sheng, seeing that he was leaving, I hurriedly stopped him, and if I didn't figure out something, it was always a disaster.

"Master Cheng, it's not a question of whether it's money or not, don't say you don't take money, it doesn't matter if we give more, but you leave halfway through, you have to give an explanation, don't you?"

"It's not halfway there, it's not...... Isn't that about to be done......" Cheng Sheng still wanted to leave, but he couldn't stop it: "I do have something to ......"

"Master Cheng, we are all adults, and even if you don't say something, I can see it. If you leave like this, throw the two of us here, if there really is a horse with a short stirrup, do you think it is appropriate? ”

As soon as I said this, Cheng Sheng really hesitated, I could see that this old man was a good person.

"That ......" Cheng Sheng swallowed his saliva, glanced around the room with palpitations, and then waved at me and Yuan Sihai, signaling us to come out first.

The three of us hid directly in the kitchen, Cheng Sheng closed the door tightly, his face was pale all the time, and the hand holding the tool kit was trembling slightly.

"Brother, I don't care where you got this thing, this is the rule of doing work, but I really can't do this job anymore." Cheng Sheng said to me very seriously: "I won't do it, I advise you not to touch it again, and dispose of it when you see the opportunity." ”

"You said something pleasant, I really don't understand it."

"Oops!" Cheng Sheng hurriedly shook his hand, but he met someone like me who was digging into the bottom of the matter, he walked a few steps back and forth in the kitchen against the wall, and said, "This thing is very evil!" ”

Cheng Sheng said that in the seven or eight seconds when the lights went out in the workshop just now, he heard it clearly, as if someone was asking him close to his ear, asking him if he wanted to see what was in this skull.

"Master Cheng, this is a bit ...... It's a little ......" After listening to Yuan Sihai, he felt incredible: "Did you hear it wrong?" ”

I can't tell now whether Cheng Sheng's account is true, he is in his sixties and almost seventy years old, and if there is something wrong with his ears, this is also normal.

However, when I thought of the half-cut dog in Ta'er Lake and the two bronze fragments with demonic properties, I didn't dare to judge at will that Cheng Sheng had a problem with his ears.

"There's nothing wrong with my ears." Cheng Sheng was very sure and persuaded him with good words: "Brother, you are too young." Those who engage in ancient practices, who can not believe in evil, will always suffer great losses if they do not believe in evil. ”

Cheng Sheng shouldn't be able to lie, there is no reason and need to lie. If he's not lying, it's true. I thought about it myself, made up the picture in my brain, and felt a cool air behind me, the lights in the room suddenly went dark, and someone whispered in my ear, if Cheng Sheng wasn't well-informed, he might be scared out of something.

When people talk about this, I can't force it anymore. Fortunately, the bronze head has been sawed off immediately, which is not a very advanced technical work, even if Cheng Sheng is gone, I can handle it myself.

I asked Yuan Sihai to pay Cheng Sheng at the agreed price, and the old man was very grateful, and when he left, he repeatedly told him not to touch this thing again.

After Cheng Sheng left, Yuan Sihai and I smoked a cigarette in the living room, and Yuan Sihai asked me what to do.

"I'll see for myself later." I pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray: "You wait outside." ”

"That's not appropriate." Yuan Sihai was a little embarrassed: "If there is really something, the top master will come back in the future, I can't explain it." ”

"Pull it down, you don't have to explain it to him." I thought to myself that there were enough twists and turns in Ta'er Lake at that time, and it was not bad this time.

I ran to the workshop by myself, closed the door, and brought a flashlight to prevent the lights from suddenly going out again. Only the last bit of the bronze head was not sawed off, I took the saw, and carefully sawed it slowly according to Cheng Sheng's method at that time.

I saw slowly, but in less than ten minutes, the top cover of the bronze skull was completely sawn open. For the past ten minutes, I have been engrossed in the senses, and I have not noticed any unusual noises.

Once the bronze skull was completely sawn, I casually lowered the saw and slowly removed the top cover.

The skull is hollow, and when I remove the top cover, I can see the hollow cranial cavity at a glance. Before the cranial cavity was sawed open, it was tightly closed and there was no gap, and when it was sawed open, I found that there was some green slimy stuff in the cranial cavity.

I couldn't tell what it was, a lot of the liquid would turn green after a long time if it was kept in a bronze vessel. There used to be a Han tomb, which has never been stolen and dug up, and was only discovered a few years ago. In this Han tomb, there is a bronze wine jar, because the seal is good, the wine has not volatilized, there is still more than half of it, two thousand years of vicissitudes, the wine in the wine jar has also become emerald green, it looks particularly strange.

I suspect that the slimy thing in this bronze skull is not green itself. There was a strange smell to it, it stinked, and it smelled fishy.

I carefully stirred the bronze skull with a long-handled screwdriver, and there was nothing but this puddle of green stuff.

I was a little disappointed that it took so much effort to open this bronze skull, and who knew that there was nothing inside.

But this is not in line with common sense, Cheng Sheng has already made it very clear that in the era of underdeveloped metallurgical technology, it must be necessary for craftsmen to cast things like this. If you think about it this way, then the people who cast the bronze skulls are just to put these green things in.

What are these things? I was a little vigilant, because when I used to listen to my peers chatting, I could always hear some stories about going into the pit. They said that the poison of the corpses in the pit was dark green.

I didn't feel any discomfort, and it was a while before I pinched my nose and got closer to take a closer look. These green things are very much like tofu brains mixed with spinach juice, a messy mess, and I want to vomit when I look at them.

It may be that I have been in the work room for a long time, and I haven't made any sound, so Yuan Sihai is not at ease and runs in to take a look.

"Lao Yuan, since you're here, refer to it, what is this."

After Yuan Sihai came over, he couldn't see what it was, he had been in Datong for so many years, and he basically played the role of a clerk and a master, and he hadn't really seen those bloody rains, and when he saw this pool of green things, he was a little dry.

"I can't see it either...... I can't see what it is...... Yuan Sihai pinched his nose and said, "Anyway, I just feel disgusting." ”

"That's not going to work." I frowned, the process of getting the bronze skull this time was very difficult, and it took the old nose to bring it all the way back, if I couldn't find anything, it would be unacceptable to me.

"There's nothing to do about this." Yuan Sihai pointed to the puddle of green things inside the bronze skull and said, "You can't hold this puddle of things and go to someone else to see what it is." ”

The two of us endured the nausea here and talked for a long time. It's too late, and I'm going to wait until tomorrow.

I slept all night on the sofa in the original Sihai house, and early the next morning, Zhang Momo called me and told me that Lao Wang and Ning Kitten were very dissatisfied yesterday, saying that I was not interesting enough, and there was no one to see when I left.

"Today, today I have a treat." I didn't compensate Zhang Momo, and promised to invite the three of them to dinner today.

As soon as I was woken up by the phone, I couldn't sleep anymore, and it happened that Yuan Sihai also got up to go to the toilet. I can't sleep anyway, so I want to go to the studio and have another look.

"I'll go downstairs and get some breakfast, and I'll be busy after eating."

"Don't." I immediately shook my head: "I'll come back when I'm full, maybe I'll have to vomit up the breakfast I just ate again." ”

The sawn bronze head was still on the table, and I walked in with a cigarette to block out the smell. I watched it myself for a while, and Yuan Sihai also followed, and the two of them circled around the table several times, and Yuan Sihai stopped and scratched his head.

"What's wrong? What did you find? ”

"It's not a discovery, I just think it's ......" Yuan Sihai pointed to the cranial cavity of the bronze skull and said, "I just think that this thing is very rough cast, but the cranial cavity is very delicate." ”

I understand the meaning of the original four seas, after opening the bronze skull, I feel that this skull is completely cast in a one-to-one ratio, not only the size of the skull, but also the structure of the cranial cavity, which is quite close to the real cranial cavity.

"Then you see, it will be like this." Yuan Sihai scratched his head again and said, "In this, did you let go of a brain?" ”
