Chapter 33: Bones
What the?
Hearing this, everyone turned around and turned their shocked eyes to the "body bag" behind them. No one expected the dead person before going to the grave, so the bag of the shroud was put together from a waterproof nylon bag, and at this moment, the bag was gone.
Along with the bag, there was a body in the bag.
Cheated corpse!
Everyone's first reaction was this, the big gold chain sat on the ground, moved back with both hands, and said as he retreated, "We are all digging a pit here, when did the corpse disappear, how can it move on its own?" ”
The second master told him to shut up, carefully took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, and distributed them to everyone, "This is an ancient coin, a product of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the copper coins are more than 100 people's hands, and the yang energy is sufficient, and you can ward off evil spirits when you put it on your body, and if you find something wrong, you will throw it out." ”
Professor Yang scoffed and said that you should do less of these old superstitions.
The second master said you don't want it? Well, I'll save it, old boy, when you cry when you meet a walking corpse!
"You've all said it, look over there!" Chen Yun suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed to the waterhole on the surface, her face turned white with fright, and she exclaimed, Xiao Jin's body is below!
We all turned our eyes to the direction pointed by Chen Yun, and at this glance, we found that there was a hazy shadow shaking in the waterhole, and we all nervously swept the searchlight over, but we saw a white-soaked corpse, floating and sinking in the water, staring at me with wide eyes.
It's Xiao Jin, his eyes are actually open, and his face is facing up, the whole person is like stepping in water, neither sinking to the bottom, nor forgetting to float, his eyes are white, like peeled grapes, just staring at us directly.
Cluck...... Cluck......
The cold wind rose again in the tombway, and the eerie laughter that fluctuated broke into everyone's eardrums, like a steel knife drilling into the ears and eyes, making people get goosebumps all over their bodies. Ge Zhuang's mouth trembled, and he pulled my sleeve, "Floating corpse, face up, why did Xiao Jin go into the water, shouldn't you think it's cool down there?" ”
I asked him to hurry up and stop talking nonsense, he didn't learn how to fish for corpses, and he talked about it one by one, which upset people.
This scene is really weird, the corpse lying on the shore actually went into the water, and he broke free of the shroud on his body, and everyone was afraid. Professor Yang said, which of you can go into the water and scoop up Xiaojin?
My heart says you're sick, right? Sure enough, the second master immediately smiled with a cold face, and said Old turtle grandson, you will assign others, why don't you go down?
Professor Yang, I have rheumatism, and it hurts so much that I went into the water just now, since you don't want to go, then change me!
In order to strengthen his atheistic argument, Professor Yang gritted his teeth and was about to walk to the waterhole, Chen Yun was so frightened that he hurriedly dragged him, "Professor Yang, you can't go into the water!" ”
Professor Yang said you let go, what is there to be afraid of a corpse, this is our comrade!
Chen Yun said Have you forgotten, there is a water monster under the pool, even if Xiao Jin did not cheat the corpse, how to deal with the water monster?
Professor Yang seemed to have found a reason to explain all this, patted his head and said I am really confused, yes, there is a water monster underwater, the corpse can't go into the water by itself, it must have been dragged down by the blunt newt.
When he said this, there seemed to be some truth, only the second master kept silent and kept sneering.
"Okay, or that's it, let's go to the grave first, Xiaojin's body will be soaked in water first, and we'll do something after we come out!" Zhong Quan cherished words like gold, but at this moment he spoke.
I said I'm afraid it's not good to soak in water, won't that water monster swallow Xiao Jin?
Zhong Quan said that if we go into the water now, we will be swallowed, people are only precious when they are alive, and after death, they will be a pile of mud, and it is not cost-effective to compensate us for the corpse in order to retrieve the corpse. In the end, people who have been on the battlefield are more open to life and death, but we don't have Zhong Quan's "open-mindedness", and we always feel that if we do this, we will be sorry for Xiaojin.
The second master said, "Okay, let's not talk about it for now, let's go to the grave quickly!" ”
I asked the second master, didn't you just say to leave, why do you support the tomb now?
The corners of the second master's mouth twitched, and said Are you stupid, you have to go out from here, there is only one way to the waterhole, do you want to fill the belly of the water monster, or go into the water to chat with Xiaojin?
We didn't want to choose either option, so we had to walk back to the hole, although it may not be safer to go under the hole than on it.
Before entering the hole, we all drank a sip of white wine to strengthen our courage, and then drew lots to determine the first person to go down, the big gold chain was unlucky, drew the first, clamored to redraw, was kicked on the leg by the second master, and rolled down into the cave with an ouch.
He fell and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he lay down and slowed down for a while before he got up, saying that he is not dead, I will call you a few times Second Master, and you will hurt me like this?
The second master said that he went to the tomb, life and death are all arranged by God, don't say anything about friendship, I don't know you well!
A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the big gold chain, and it was extinguished in the blink of an eye, and he said with a dry smile Okay, count me unlucky. Come down here, it's safe to breathe.
Seeing that he was fine, the second master said that he could go to the tomb, this tomb is quite mysterious, in addition to fear, everyone is more itchy, they all lined up, carefully going down along the hole.
Before going down to the cave, the second master also warned us to wear masks first, first, we can't speak loudly, but we can't exhale at the corpse (walking the sun, afraid of cheating the corpse), and wearing a mask can avoid leaving your breath here, which is unlucky.
The entrance of the cave is not vertical, but inclined downward, we all tied ropes to our waists, slid down in turn, entered the entrance of the tomb, the space was dark at first, under the illumination of the strong flashlight, and gradually brightened up, the first thing I saw was a tomb road, half a meter wide, almost two meters high, which could allow people to barely stand up and pass through, the passage was rocky on both sides, the air was humid, seeping with water droplets, not like the main road in the tomb.
The second master stretched out his hand and touched two handfuls on the bare rock wall, leaned under his nose to smell it, and sneered and said that the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade, this thief hole has been beaten for at least twenty or thirty years, but it has cheapened us.
I asked the second master, has anyone really come in here? The second master pointed to the chisel marks on the stone wall, and said That's right, the hole we came in was the robbery hole made by the previous group of people, and they were well prepared and punched this robbery hole, which can go straight to the tomb.
Ge Zhuang said that he had been doing it for a long time, but he was cut off by his predecessors, can there still be something in this thief hole?
The second master said what are you thinking, we are archaeology, understand? It's also unlucky to take the things in the tomb, I'm afraid that you will have the life to take it out, and you will not have the life to spend this money!
Ge Zhuang shrunk his neck, didn't dare to speak again, walked less than two meters, and the entrance of the cave was another turn, and the big gold chain that walked in front exclaimed and jumped up directly.
"What are you calling nonsense?" The second master changed his face, and when he went up, he wanted to scold again, but when he saw what was under his feet clearly, his mouth was quickly closed.
Dead man's bones!
We found a skeleton in front of the cave, the skeleton had melted away, the bone was black, as if it had been poisoned to death.
