Chapter 314: Skinny and Boneless

Theoretically, it takes about half an hour to release the yin qi, but for the sake of safety, I left it for a full two quarters of an hour before I called Zhang Youquan and the two Eight Immortals to come and help me open the coffin.

I first cut off the ink fountain line that was hanging on top of the coffin, and then I took the three of us together and pushed the coffin open. However, the moment the coffin was opened, the contents still inevitably shocked me.

I finally knew what was the pus and blood that had just been pouring out of the coffin. But a lot of things, even if you've seen the facts, what you're thinking in your heart is probably that I'd rather never know about the fact that it's better.

The contents of the coffin are not very shocking, but rather disgusting!

I handed the coffin lid to Zhang Youquan and the two Eight Immortals who were helping, and asked them to lay it flat on the side, while I took out my gloves from my pocket.

I put on my gloves, put my hand into the coffin, and grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and five-color grain mixed together, at this time it felt soft to the touch, but the tentacles had an extremely cold feeling, and the color also changed from the five colors just now to a thick black in front of me, and some of them were still surrounded by dark red sticky blood.

I tossed what I was holding aside, reached into the coffin again, and brought out an insect, no longer recognizable shape. This kind of insect is called corpse worm in our place, and there are many of them in the grave mountain, but generally speaking, most of what they eat is the ownerless corpse buried in the wild grave, or the corpse contained in the coffin that has been buried for many years and the coffin has rotted and cracked. Because new graves and new coffins, for them, are often inaccessible, and they can't get into it at all. So, a coffin that can't even get in, let alone reproduce like this inside?

I didn't count it, I didn't flip it, but looking at it, combined with the amount of bleeding just now, there were probably more than a thousand. Even if it was some ancient coffins and ancient tombs, such as the coffins in the research institute, when the coffins were opened, I had never heard of them finding such a large number of corpses and insects gathered together.

Corpse insects, as the name suggests, feed on the flesh and blood of corpses, so many corpse insects, what about the corpses below, there is no need to guess.

Zhang Youquan had already put down the coffin lid with the Eight Immortals at this time, and came over to see me again.

He had just seen the dense insects inside, and he felt about the same as me, and when he saw it for the first time, he felt that his scalp was numb inexplicably, and he had an extremely bad feeling all over his body.

Seeing that I was carrying a corpse worm and looking at it, I felt that his eyes were full of creepy feelings.

"Little ...... Little coffin. He hesitated, "You don't want to take them out one by one, do you?" ”

I glanced at him, threw the corpse worm at my feet, reached out again, took out a handful of corpse worms from the coffin, and said to him, "Of course it is impossible to take one by one, but it is better to hurry up one by one!" Your niece's corpse is under these insects, how can you pick up the bones if you don't clean the insects? ”

"Shall I help you, then?" Zhang Youquan said, he was about to roll up his sleeves and go down.

But I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Forget it, I only have a pair of gloves, so I can isolate the yin qi, ordinary gloves can't do this." Just watch from the sidelines, be careful to keep an eye on me, and don't pick up the bones in the bugs. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do it without complete bones. ”

Zhang Youquan nodded hurriedly to show that he understood.

The Eight Immortals had time to rest at this time, but they were bored sitting and bored, so they all gathered around. Standing on the edge of the coffin, watching me pick up bugs one by one.

There are too many bugs, and when I'm tired alone, it's inevitable that I'll move slower. Therefore, the speed of picking up is getting slower and slower, and you have to take a break from time to time. Minutes and seconds passed, and soon, the midday sun was already shining overhead.

Fortunately, I had someone cover another layer of black cloth under the shade cloth, and at this time, I didn't feel very sunburned.

Seeing that the worms in the coffin were almost cleaned up, at this time, the corpses of the worms were almost piled up like a hill at my feet. Coincidentally, when the village chief came up from the mountain with people, he saw this scene, and he said 'Mom' on the spot, and almost fell off the mountain in fright.

Fortunately, he was followed by Jiang Yifeng, and he quickly pulled him, so as to avoid the tragic consequences of the head of a village falling from the mountain and breaking his leg.

The people he brought with him came slowly, but when I saw the group carrying baskets with steaming meals, I was grateful to him. It's hard for him, as he has to suppress the rumors in the village, and at the same time thinks that we don't have lunch in the mountains.

After the initial fright, he came to me and asked, "Little coffin, this worm ...... There won't be any more incidents, right? Otherwise, let's eat first? What do you want to do, and then talk about it when you have eaten enough! ”

I smiled and shook my head, comforting him, "This corpse has not yet entered the new coffin, how can I eat at this time!" Otherwise, you let them eat first, and I'll put the bones back into the burial. Don't worry, these insects are already dead, and they will be put in the sun for a while, and then put them in the old coffin and fall into the soil, and nothing will happen. ”

"Well, that's good, that's good!" The village chief said, but he didn't really call for the others to eat first, as I said.

After the insects were cleaned up, Yu Wanli's bones were revealed.

Because it was a vertical burial, the quilt that should have covered her body fell halfway down, and it was obliquely covered on her chest. It's just that what makes me strange is that these flesh-eating insects actually know to cut a small crack in her skin, burrow into it, and eat her flesh clean, and a thin layer of skin is almost completely on top of her bones.

Since there was nothing left inside, not even a single remaining bug had been found, and the whole skin bag looked extremely loose on the skeleton. However, this has created a lot of convenience for us to pick up the bones. Because at least I know that the bones are complete, I can take them out together, without the need to identify one bone after another, and pick them out and put them in order.

I called Zhang Youquan and asked Jiang Yifeng to bring over a red carpet that I had prepared a long time ago. Zhang Youquan and I collaborated to carefully cushion the red carpet under Yu Wanli's body.

Seeing his niece's appearance, Zhang Youquan's eyes were always red, and the red carpet was padded, I heard him sniff, and hurriedly looked up and said, "Don't cry!" Even if you want to cry, stay away and cry! If you accidentally drop tears in the coffin and drip on the bones, then the dead soul is homesick and unwilling to be reincarnated, and your family will be in big trouble, you know? Go, go, a big man, what are you doing with so much sentimentality? ”

Zhang Youquan took two steps, wiped his face twice, and swallowed the sourness into his stomach, but the aggrieved emotion came out of his eyes, and I couldn't help but straighten my eyes when I saw it.

I sighed, told him to take a rest, and asked the Eight Immortals I brought to carry the new coffin, set it up on the bench, and let Jiang Yifeng help me drag the body into the funeral on the red carpet, and then carefully pull out the red carpet.

Immediately after that, it is the routine to cover the quilt, cover the coffin, and paste the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin with mud. Ask someone to remove the black cloth on the top of the head and wrap it directly on top of the coffin, and then tear off the shade cloth to cover the exposed sides of the coffin.

"Alright, let's eat!" I took off my gloves and motioned for a call to day.

The village chief hurriedly asked people to share the food and vegetables, and I could finally take a rest.

But within two steps of walking, he heard a person from a neighboring village shouting from behind, "Village chief! Look inside this coffin, there's a painting! ”

The village chief was shocked, and hurriedly pulled me, "Little coffin, that ......"

I also wondered, I didn't pay much attention just now, is there really a painting in it? Out of curiosity, I walked briskly over.
