Chapter 10: Evaporation
I was about to touch Yu Nian's chest, but my hand reached out and realized that something was wrong.
"This good person, still moving, how can there be no heartbeat? Could it be that your broken machine is broken? ”
Lao Jiao took off his gloves, took my hand and put it on her pulse, and was quiet for a few seconds, but there was really no beat.
I remembered what I had been doing underground, and I suddenly retracted my hand.
This lingering thought...... Could it be that it is not human at all?
Yu Nian suddenly coughed violently, and the corners of his mouth were still bleeding, and it didn't look like a broken shoulder at all.
She whispered something as if to call me over.
I listened, and she was still asking me what was going on with the cave.
I was angry and distressed, and I couldn't hide my reproachful tone, "It's already set on fire, you should think about what you should do yourself, you can't measure your heartbeat at all now." ”
Yu Nian swallowed the blood blocked in his throat, and raised his hand weakly, "Take out the bone umbrella in my sleeve and keep it properly." ”
I took out her precious umbrella from her cuff, and the instrument that had been dark suddenly lit up.
Lao Jiao blasted me out, don't delay the rescue, I had no choice but to wait outside the car.
I sat on the ground with my back to the medical cart and carefully examined the bone umbrella in my hand.
I only thought that the whole body was white, but I didn't expect it to be so delicate under a closer look.
Several thin umbrella bones support the yellowed umbrella surface, and there are no screws or wires at the joints of the umbrella bones, but they are connected together like human bone joints.
I wanted to open the umbrella to see the whole picture, but as soon as I held the handle of the umbrella in my hand, a very strong force seemed to gush out of the umbrella, knocking me to the ground at once.
"Huh? It's really the object that follows the Lord. I patted my ass and stood up, swearing.
Lao Meng ran back at this time and asked me about Yu Nian's injury.
I frowned and shook my head, "I vomited a mouthful of blood just now, and I don't know how it is now." ”
Lao Meng casually took off his clothes and threw them aside, and drank a few sips of water bare-chested.
"Don't worry, the fire in the cave has been set off, and it is estimated that it will burn almost to the fullest. In a little while I'll find the fire brigade and put out the fire. ”
I nodded dejectedly, not at all relieved.
Lao Meng saw that I was preoccupied, so he asked me, "What's wrong?" Now that the old pervert is dead, the matter can be considered settled. ”
"I always think it's strange that these things seem to be coming at me, both openly and secretly."
When I think of the child I saw in the cave, the rag doll I sewn, and the copper coin that suddenly popped out of my chest, I felt that I had not yet figured it out.
I suddenly took out the copper coin from my pocket and said to Lao Meng, "Do you remember when Lao Hao died, he also held such a copper coin in his hand?" Where's the coin now? ”
Lao Meng recalled: "Maybe it's at the squad leader...... However, this copper coin is indeed very strange, it is said that the ancient relics do not exist at all, how can there be currency circulation? ”
"Ancient Relics...... I've never heard of this place. ”
Lao Meng thought for a while and said to me, "How can I say it, the ancient relics are actually a legendary nation, have you heard of the ancient Dian Kingdom?" ”
I nodded, I'd seen it on an archaeology show before. It is a tribe of ancient ethnic minorities in the southwestern frontier of China, entrenched in the area of present-day Yunnan.
There was once a bronze civilization that was so splendid that the Central Plains could not reach the height. But after only 200 years, the country has mysteriously disappeared.
The fall of the ancient Dian Kingdom has been an unsolved mystery since ancient times, and it is also a difficult problem that plagues the archaeological community. Because of the ancient Dian Kingdom that we know, it has no writing, so there are a lot of historical documents.
There is no way to verify the time of demise and the political culture. In those years, Shizhai Mountain was excavated, which made people understand the bronze civilization of the ancient Dian Kingdom and made a great leap.
But since then, there has been little progress. The mystery of the demise of the ancient Dian Kingdom has always been a matter of opinion. Some people guess it's disease, some people guess it's war, and there are different opinions.
There is no accurate statement for how many years.
My dad was an avid collector of antiques, and he was very interested in any bronze with the words "Ancient Dian on it", so I naturally knew more about this place.
Lao Meng continued: "Historically, it is said that the main inhabitants of the ancient Dian Kingdom are the Hani people today, but there is also a saying that the ethnic group that ruled the ancient Dian Kingdom back then was actually the ancient relics. The Grand Patriarch of the Ancient Relic Clan is proficient in the art of witchcraft. Because of his obsession with alchemy and alchemy, he went mad and cursed the people of the whole clan, which led to the destruction of the ancient Dian Kingdom. But these are all rumors, just like Tang Seng Xitian took the scriptures with Sun Wukong, which is really not convincing. So you said that if this copper coin is written on the ancient Yunnan currency, then it may still be possible, but if it is the ancient currency, it must be fake. ”
Listening to Lao Meng say this, I also think that the paleogenetic theory is a bit unreliable.
I weighed the copper coin in my hand, and planned to let my dad take a look at it when I got home to see if it was real or fake.
Over there, Lao Jiao pushed the door and called for me to come over with Lao Meng.
Yu Nian's shoulders have been wrapped, and he has been awake a lot, but he has lost too much blood and is a little weak.
Lao Jiao said to me a little helplessly, "It stands to reason that there should be two stitches, but this girl insists on leaving, and I can't help it." ”
Yu Nian had already gotten out of bed at this time, and while taking his coat, he asked me, "Where is my bone umbrella?" ”
I handed her the bone umbrella, "You are not lightly injured, you must recuperate here for a few days before leaving, if you don't listen to me, I can only tie you up and lock you up for a few days." ”
Yu Nian raised his eyebrows and glanced at me, "It's up to you?" ”
I choked and couldn't get angry. She turned around and got out of the car, and I hurriedly chased after her.
"You saved me, and now I can't watch you just go. I know you don't appreciate it, and I know I can't protect you for the time being, but I can at least take good care of you. ”
Speaking of this, the expression on Yu Nian's face loosened for a moment, but it quickly returned to coldness.
He took out a cloth bag from his bosom and handed it to me, "This is the corpse worm, burn it to ashes and put it on the wound, and the corpse poison will be cured." ”
"Xiao Ding! Phone! Wu Xiucai suddenly ran over with the phone.
I turned around and took the cloth bag and told Yu Nian, "You wait for me for a while, I still have something to tell you." ”
I walked to the side to answer the call, and the call was from my second uncle.
The side didn't say anything, but said that I should ask for leave to go home, saying that something happened at home. I still wondered, why didn't my dad call when there was something in this house, could it be that the old man went abroad to play again?
My second uncle didn't explain much, so he told me that I had to go back within three days, and hung up the phone.
I thought about it, and I always felt that his tone was a little strange, so I called my dad directly.
Two rings of the warning that I was not in the service area, and I suddenly felt a little lost in my heart.
turned around again and wanted to call Yu Nian, but found that there was no one for a long time. I hurriedly called Lao Meng and asked him if he had seen Yu Nianren, Lao Meng shook his head blankly, "Didn't I talk to you just now?" ”
I kicked the pebbles on the ground angrily, and it seemed that the girl had left without saying goodbye.
Come and go, just go, drag me down this troubled water and then she pats her ass and leaves, it's really hateful!
It's just that when I think of her thin body and badly injured shoulder, I'm more worried than angry.
That night, I burned the corpse to ashes, applied it to the wound, wrapped it in gauze, and went to bed early.
The rescue work was also carried out to the end, except for Nanshan Village, where there were no survivors, many survivors were rescued in other places.
This resentment entanglement of 100 years ago also came to an end with this natural disaster. What has left the world is only a piece of land full of holes, but for me, it is the beginning of my life's wandering.
I asked for leave from the squad leader in advance, and Lao Meng also caught the earliest train home with me for personal reasons.
I thought that what was waiting for me was a family dinner, my father's reward, but I didn't expect to wait for a room full of people frowning, and my mother who kept crying.
When I asked, I found out that after I left, my dad had disappeared from the world.
Before leaving, I locked myself in the study without eating or drinking for two days, and on the third morning, I didn't leave a word when I got up, only my mobile phone wallet.
