CHAPTER XLIII

This is also the reason why in many places there are people who have been dead for a day or two and suddenly come back to life.

"Lord Wang, I am tired of pulling this woman's hair and pulling her head upwards so that her neck is straight and smooth."

Although Xiao Qinglang didn't know why, he could also see that there must be a reason, he did not hesitate to stretch out his hand and drag the person straight according to Xu Chu's words. Then, I saw Xu Chu rubbing her throat slightly, massaging her limbs that were not yet stiff, and after a long time, he took the brush used for recording directly from the toolbox, pulled out the wolf hair in three or two clicks, and blew it into the ears of the female corpse under his hand with the barrel of the pen.

That is, half an hour later, he suddenly felt the corpses of his men move, and then he heard a low moan/moan. Although the sound was faint, it did not prevent people from being clearly captured in this almost closed and quiet dark room, where there was no even the sound of the wind.

"Lord Wang, the rest have to bother the two government soldiers to help carry the people out and settle them safely." Xu Chu knew that the action just now was just first aid, if he didn't leave this place as soon as possible, he was afraid that the work just now would be in vain, "Send it to the tent set up outside first, and then pour half of the leftover wine into her to drink......

Although this woman had strangulation marks on her neck and signs of exhaustion, Xu Chu saw that her pupils were still restless in her coma, and she knew that she was afraid that she was frightened by the killing of everyone before. Simply, according to the words of the savior, those who are frightened to death should be poured with one or two cups of warm wine, and they will be able to live after serving.

The two soldiers saluted slightly, and then carefully followed her request to find the broken but undamaged wooden door to make a board, and carried the person out.

At this time, I saw a guard wrapping a big bag inside, and it was all green and white.

"Stir-fry the green onions in the pot where the corpse is boiled." Xu Chu calmly ordered, and then looked at Xiao Qinglang and Wei Guang, "Although these two injured people seem to be out of breath, they have not injured the inner membrane. ”

Xu Chu didn't care about the surprise that followed the doubt in Wei Guang's eyes, and only carefully picked up one of them and reached into her chest to try the residual warmth. It wasn't cold to the hand, and she was a little relieved.

Moments later, the three "corpses" she had pointed out had all entered the tent. And the guards also brought a lot of green onions into the room, only to see her fried green onions applied to the wounds, back and forth several times, which really made the person who had already been judged by the government soldiers to be out of breath wake up with two faint sounds.

There are still blood stains gushing out of the wound, and if the bleeding cannot be stopped quickly, I am afraid that the person will not survive for long.

Fortunately, the doctor brought by Xiao Mingzhu had a ready-made medicine box in his hand, and the previous guards had asked, and there were just a few medicinal materials that Xu Chu needed.

Xu Chu saw the old doctor enter the tent, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask the old gentleman to help, hand over the frankincense and myrrh the size of soaphorns to the guard brother, and let him fry it with half a cup of urine mixed with good wine." ”

The old doctor had never heard of such a method, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but because Xu Chu was standing next to King Jing'an, even though he felt that it was child's play to let a girl prescribe a prescription, he didn't sternly refuse.

On the contrary, after handing over the frankincense and myrrh to the guards, he personally went forward to check the pulse of the wounded. He has practiced medicine for many years and is quite famous in Yunzhou City, but at this time, he only feels that the pulse under his hands is like nothing, and then he sees that the injured person's breathing is intermittent, and even his heartbeat is extremely slow.

His heart was dark, and he shook his head and said: "There is no life at all, it should be a sign of powerlessness to return to the sky, you ......"

Xu Chu didn't care about the old doctor's words, but continued to work on his own, leaving the old doctor with an embarrassed and slightly unhappy expression.

A quarter of an hour later, the medicinal soup she asked for was ready, and while it was warm, Xu Chu poured a medicinal soup into the mouth of the wounded. Severely injured, the two of them half swallowed and half flowed from the corners of their mouths, making her sleeves dirty.

"Borrow the old man's stamen stone and scatter it." Xu Chu's hand kept moving, and he turned around and asked for half a pack of stamen stone powder, no matter how much, just apply it to the fatal wound. But in a moment, the wound that was still oozing blood was miraculously stopped, and I don't know how much better the effect was compared to the trauma medicine brought by the doctor.

The old doctor was stunned for a moment, and looked straight at Xu Chu, not surprised by that look. In contrast, Xiao Qinglang and Wei Guang were full of interest and calmed down a lot.

The old doctor was a humble person, and when he saw that Xu Chu could really heal the dying person, he not only restrained his displeasure, but hurriedly stepped forward to help treat the injured. At this time, his heart was full of doubts, so he naturally didn't dare to take it big, and his gaze at Xu Chu was also a little solemn.

After another quarter of an hour, the three "female corpses" who were about to die all woke up faintly, which made the guards and government soldiers who had already received the news dumbfounded. And after Xiao Mingzhu got the news and knew that his sister Xu could actually heal the living dead, she was entangled and proud in her heart, and finally dragged her weak and listless body and moved to the tent.

As a result, as soon as I came in, I saw several people staring at the two bloody hula people, and then, somehow, the two bloody hula people suddenly moved. She trembled in her heart, hurriedly rubbed her legs and feet to Xu Chu's side, and half-leaned on her and asked, "Sister Xu, is this the dead person you saved?" ”

For Xiao Mingzhu, Xu Chu actually has a good impression, she looks a little rude, but she is a clear and simple girl in her bones. Maybe it's because I'm used to seeing darkness and rot, so I like an unpretentious girl like her.

"People are just holding their breath, not really dying." Xu Chu saw Xiao Mingzhu's soft appearance, and explained with a smile, "When I go back to the city, I will boil you some three-god soup to avoid corpse qi, if you follow you to the autopsy site next time, I will have to make you some Suhe Xiangyuan and Dirt Avoiding Pill." ”

When Xiao Mingzhu heard this, he couldn't care about the disgusting corpses before, so he immediately nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "It's still Sister Xu who treats me well, how can it be like my third uncle, I don't care if I'm uncomfortable at all......"

As she spoke, she deliberately went up and rubbed Xu Chu's shoulder, and she didn't care about the strange smell on Xu Chu's body, and glanced at Xiao Qinglang a little provocatively. It made Xiao Qinglang raise his eyebrows slightly, and glared at her with a smile and a slight warning.

This person has been rescued, and the rest needs to be taken care of by the old doctor. And before the three women who escaped death came to their senses, she had to personally inspect the remaining corpses in the dark room, as well as the corpse of the woman who had been stripped of flesh and blood, leaving only the skeleton and head......

The dark room was very dark and damp, and it was probably originally a tomb remodel, so there was still some unpleasant smell of decay, just like the smell of rotten flesh left after being left for many years. Coupled with the strong smell of blood, it made the gloomy environment even more terrifying.

The relatively intact female corpse on the ground was not damaged, and the inquest was extremely fast. Fatal injuries are mostly in the chest and neck, or strangled or stabbed with sharp knives, and there is nothing unusual. The only thing that made Xu Chu feel strange was the shape of the wound.

"The knife used by the murderer was not thick, and it was very short, with a blade between twenty-one and twenty-three inches, slightly curved, tapering to the tip." Xu Chu took the tweezers and other objects in the toolbox and carefully examined the wound, "The murderer who used the knife is not strong, but he is extremely ruthless, according to the height of the deceased and the wound marks, his height is only about five feet......

Gradually, as she speculated more and more, a terrifying face appeared in her mind. It's just that because there is not much evidence, she hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

"This knife does not seem to be a common kitchen knife, dagger, etc., nor is it a knife worn by officers and soldiers." Xiao Qinglang's brows furrowed, and he groaned for a few breaths before he said with a little coldness, "In the previous dynasty, there was a punishment of Ling Chi, which was to cut people's skin with a short knife. In order to ensure that the muscles are exhausted, the breath is not stopped, the liver and heart are connected, and the sight and hearing are still there, so a special torture tool is often used...... I have seen it once in the inner court, and the whole knife is twenty-seven .5 inches long, with a handle of four inches, slightly curved, and tapered to the tip. ”

The so-called Ling Chi punishment is the so-called punishment of a thousand cuts, which is extremely cruel and bloody. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this punishment has been abolished. Unless it is a crime of rebellion against the monarch, a crime of cruelty and inhumanity, only then can the three legal divisions review and execute the special order of the Holy Lord.

In his previous life, Xu Chu lived in an era of peace, and no country had ever had such a punishment, whether it was in humanitarianism or law. And after wearing the Great Zhou, she has never encountered a crime of rebellion or viciousness enough to cut off the flesh and bones, so naturally she has no way to see the so-called Ling Chi knife.

Thinking back to the records in the book, it seems that Ling Chi's punishment has always been a bit exquisite, in addition to the number of knives, it seems that there is also a saying of "sacrificing heavenly meat" and "covering the eyes". Thinking of this, she was not in a hurry to check the remaining blood and bones, but bent down and rummaged through the pile of minced meat.

Xiao Mingzhu looked at Sister Xu, who was admired by herself, and after a while, a pair of plain cloth gloves were dyed red, and a little bit of food couldn't help but appear on her face. It's just that she has been hit by the carrion before, and now she can barely endure it.

"Sure enough, ......" Xu Chu pursed his lips, raised a major muscle in his hand, looked at Xiao Qinglang and said, "The murderer shaved people alive according to Ling Chi's method." ”

Not to mention how Xiao Qinglang is, Xiao Mingzhu's mouth and eyes widen at this time. Scraping people alive with a knife, as soon as she thought of that possibility, she couldn't help but feel excited, and her whole body was shocked with a layer of goosebumps.

The atmosphere in the dark room instantly condensed, and even Wei Guang, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help but shudder.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes focused on Xu Chu and the bloody bones that were abandoned aside. It's just that compared to the blood and bones, and the messy corpse with a blood-red face and a scalp that has been lifted off, even though Xu Chu's expression is solemn, it is not shocking.
