Chapter VI
How could there be a smell of rotting corpses in this wooden shed?
Puzzled, my grandfather sat down and pondered.
The reason why my grandfather was sure that this smell was emitted only by rotting corpses was because his profession was a village Taoist priest, and in the villages around Bagong Mountain, he would be invited to preside over funerals.
It can be said that my grandfather has been a rural Taoist priest for most of his life, and he has even more contact with the dead than the living, and no one is more familiar with the smell of people after death.
My grandfather had just sat down, and Wang Yuanshan, the captain of the touching gold school on the side, handed him extremely fast compressed biscuits.
"How's it going? How is your grandson doing? My grandfather took the compressed biscuit handed over by Wang Yuanshan, pouted at the fat man lying on the other side, and asked in a low voice.
"I just gave him a few sleeping pills, and now that I'm asleep, I can't let him be frightened for a long time, otherwise he may have mental problems in the future." Wang Yuanshan is not only proficient in the art of feng shui, but also an old Chinese medicine doctor, and after hearing my grandfather's inquiry, he whispered about the fat man's situation.
"Oh!" Hearing Wang Yuanshan's answer, my grandfather nodded subconsciously.
At this time, the fat man's physical condition was temporarily put aside by him, and there was another thing on his mind. That's why there is a smell of rotting corpses in this wooden shed? What happened to the fat man when he came in?
"Lao Liu ......"
Wang Yuanshan got a little closer, and whispered to my grandfather, "Do you see that this place is strange?" ”
"yes!" Hearing Wang Yuanshan's inquiry, my grandfather nodded and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Wang, I also think it's weird, but I can't remember where it's weird for a while?" ”
"This wooden shed looks like it's been around for some years, at least thirty-four years old, who came to this place back then?" Wang Yuanshan leaned closer, lowered his voice and said to my grandfather.
Seeing my grandfather's reaction, Wang Yuanshan also knew what he had in mind, only to see Wang Yuanshan open his mouth again and whispered: "Lao Liu, do you have any clues?" ”
After Wang Yuanshan finished speaking, my grandfather shook his head thoughtfully, and did not answer, but pondered something while waving the sapper shovel in his hand and chiseled the ground under his feet.
The rancid smell, he could smell it, seemed to be coming from the ground beneath his feet.
But I didn't expect that after a few chisels, the sapper shovel in my grandfather's hand suddenly passed on the feeling of touching a hard object.
My grandfather didn't think much of it, and with a gentle pry of the sapper shovel in his hand, he picked up a long object from the ground.
At this time, a small bonfire was lit in the center of the wooden shed, and the light around it was not bright, so my grandfather did not see at first glance what it was for the thin and long object that had been dug out by himself.
He was also curious, so he picked up the thing casually, polished the flashlight and observed it carefully.
Seeing this, Wang Yuanshan was also very curious, and hurriedly stepped forward to observe carefully.
The two men put their things under their flashlights and looked at them a few times, and let out an exclamation at the same time.
This......
It looked like a rusty katana......
Both of them are experienced, and they have dealt with antiquities on weekdays, and this thing is indeed a katana, and from the point of view of length, it is only about twenty centimeters, and it should be a broken blade.
The body of the knife is streamlined, and this shape is only possessed by Japanese knives.
When I saw this broken katana, I saw my grandfather's eyes glaring and slamming his head.
This broken katana reminded him of an old incident in the depths of his mind, which happened forty years ago, when China was in the period of all-out anti-Japanese war, when a team of little devils secretly sneaked into Bagong Mountain, and never came back, the strange thing is that since then, no little devil dares to step into Bagong Mountain half a step, and no little devil has gone to track down the whereabouts of those who are missing.
Almost all of us in the older generation of Liujia Village know about this matter.
Could it be that this wooden shed in front of you was left behind by the mysterious little devil army back then?
Seeing what was dug out clearly, my grandfather came back to his senses and smiled coldly, and then quickly waved the sapper shovel and gouged twice to the ground just now, and soon found a piece of Bai Sensen's bone.
This bone is very long, and my grandfather and Wang Yuanshan recognized it as a femur part of the human buttocks after a few glances.
"Isn't it? Is there really a corpse in this wooden shed? My grandfather muttered.
Just now he told Wang Yuanshan that there was a smell of rotting corpses in this wooden shed, but he didn't expect that there was really a corpse buried in it, but he didn't know who would be buried in this wooden shed?
At this time, the exclamation of the two of them had already woken up the few of us who were left.
Liu Fangping and I felt a tingling of our scalps after seeing the human bones that my grandfather had dug out. Especially when I was still young at the time, I had never seen much of the world, and the impact of the human bone on Bai Sensen was too great for me.
My grandfather saw me with a frightened look, and did not come forward to comfort me, for him sooner or later I will have to inherit the inheritance of his corpse bell, and this time I was brought out with the intention of experience.
At this time, except for the fat man who was still asleep, no one had any sleepiness, and each took out his tools to clean up the corpse under the wooden shed to see what was going on.
Liu Fangping had already set up the emergency kerosene lamp, and Wang Yuanshan and my grandfather had been discussing it for a long time, and the two of them decided to start cleaning up from the place where my grandfather had just cut through with a sapper shovel.
The ones who did it were Wang Yuanshan and Liu Fangping, who were good at earthwork, and my grandfather and I stood on the sidelines and watched.
Soon the skeleton of an intact leg bone was cleaned out, the skeleton was quite intact, and judging from the color, the human skeleton should not have been buried here for a long time, at most only a few decades.
In my grandfather's eyes, a few decades is really not a long time.
"Huh?" Just as my grandfather was studying the newly excavated leg bone skeleton, he suddenly heard Wang Yuanshan, who was cleaning up the remains, let out an exclamation.
"What's wrong? What was found? My grandfather motioned for Liu Fangping to bring the kerosene lamp closer, and leaned over to ask Wang Yuanshan......
After leaning over to look over, my grandfather saw Wang Yuanshan take out a swarthy thing from the soil.
