Chapter 10: The Miasma
At this time, I didn't have the heart to joke with this dead fat man, so I dismantled the fishing pole, tied the fishing line and sank into the water, firmly lassoed the floating corpse under the water, and fished the corpse ashore little by little.
There are many factors for the formation of corpses, the most intuitive is that there is direct contact with the body of a living person, it must be that Ge Zhuang was not careful when he went into the water and stepped on the corpse, which caused this thing to cause the corpse, and now as long as he does not touch him directly, it should not be a big problem.
After I carefully got the corpse ashore, Ge Zhuang tore a cloth towel and tied it to his ankle, I was worried about the corpse poison on the claws of the floating corpse, and asked him if he had disposed of the black marks on his ankles, Ge Zhuang said that there was no problem, such a short period of contact, and he was not bitten, and it must be fine to put on glutinous rice.
I saw that he was smiling and behaving normally when he spoke, so I breathed a sigh of relief, saying how could there be a floating corpse in the inlet above the Jialing River, and where did this corpse come from?
Ge Zhuang also looked puzzled, and said Little Pumpkin, the poor mountain col in his hometown, most of them migrated in the early years, and those who refused to leave were some old men who valued the kindness of the countryside very much, like the third princess, you look at this corpse, it is obviously a middle-aged man, who would trek through mountains and rivers to take a bath here?
I quickly took off my shirt, wrapped my wrists, and through a layer of cloth, rummaged over the corpse and picked it up, after the corpse came ashore, it was lying on my stomach, I cooperated with Ge Zhuang, and gently flipped the floating corpse, and suddenly saw that on this person's chest, there was a foot-long scratch, and the wound extended from the chest to the navel, and the opportunity gave him the whole person to be disemboweled, and the blackened internal organs were faintly visible.
I was horrified, "This man was not drowned in the water, he should have died before he went into the water, if you look at his wounds, it is not like a sharp weapon, but more like a mark torn by a wild beast, but what kind of beast will carry corpse poison?" ”
Less than two seconds after saying this, Ge Zhuang and I raised our heads at the same time, looked at each other in shock, and exclaimed, Zongzi!
The jungle in the southwest is dense, the rain content is abundant, and it is not uncommon for large beasts to occasionally haunt them, but the people who can be caught by the beasts, the corpses cannot be kept so intact, and they will not be blackened all over the body, turning into this charred color, the skin on the face of the floating corpse is black and shiny, as if it has been smeared with a layer of pot ash, and there is only one explanation for this phenomenon.
Ge Zhuang pinched his teeth and said viciously, "It's really just in time for us to burn incense, even the Buddha has lost his stomach, what kind of fairy is this special, kissing the zongzi under the tomb?" I almost didn't scare the fat man to death, Zhen Nima doesn't have long eyes! ”
When encountering a floating corpse underwater, Ge Zhuang choked enough, and until now he has not eased up, scolding and kicking at the corpse.
I hurriedly stopped him and said fatty, this person should be an upside-down bucket, is there any big tomb near your hometown? Ge Zhuang said that what kind of noble person can come out of this poor country? The tomb has to be built by a wealthy family, and my ancestors have produced a few tributes, which have nothing to do with the tomb.
As he spoke, Ge Zhuang's face changed, and he shouted with a tiger face, "Dog, these bastards are going to dig up my grandfather's tomb, right?" ”
Not to mention, it's really possible. The old lady of Ge Zhuang's family is a meritorious service of revolution and life, and it is said that when he died, it was said that cao was very grand, but he was a person who had hung the August 1st medal, and he must have carried a lot of valuable things when he went to the tomb, and he should have been targeted by a group of Sichuan rats who did not pay attention to it.
"Malegobi, my grandfather ......" Ge Zhuang stomped his feet and scolded, and ran towards the back mountain, I hurriedly caught up, and said to Ge Zhuang while running, fatty, don't be in a hurry, I'm just guessing, is it not yet!
Ge Zhuang said that it was my own grandfather's grave, can you not be in a hurry if you change it!
The two of us ran wildly along the low slope over the back mountain, and after a long distance, I smelled a rich earthy smell with a rancid smell with a fishy smell, and my heart tightened, and I grabbed Ge Zhuang's arm and said, "Fatty, don't go over yet, there is a miasma of fog ahead!" ”
Foggy miasma in the southwest region, the so-called miasma, is the primeval forest after the decay of animals and plants, mixed with the harmful bacteria in the humus, through the evaporation of the formation of poisonous gas, this thing is highly toxic, mostly after the rain, the battle of the deer, the reason why the Yanhuang tribe will be beaten by the Chiyou tribe, is also because this poisonous miasma is at work, can directly affect the combat effectiveness of an army, you can imagine how fierce the miasma in the deep mountains is.
The miasma is different from ordinary water mist, these gases are breathed into the lungs, and even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will get seriously ill, and it is possible to poison on the spot.
Ge Zhuang also smelled the earthy smell of rotting bacteria in the air, and was immediately puzzled, saying that the little pumpkin, although the hometown is a deep mountain, there are no records and legends of the appearance of the poisonous miasma for hundreds of years, and the large-scale appearance of the fog miasma should be due to the high content of arsenic and mercury in the soil, which is formed by the evaporation of mixed rainwater, but the people in the hometown have only begun to migrate in modern times.
I said, maybe your ancestors liked to smell it? Ge Zhuang said fart, your ancestors like to smell it!
There has just been a light rain in the deep mountains, and there are a lot of rotten roots and residues buried in the soil, many places seem to be flat, and if you step on it, you will fall into a pit, and the danger is similar to the quagmire, fortunately, Ge Zhuang has returned to his hometown a few times, so he knows the road, otherwise in this deep mountain wilderness, one or two people really dare not go.
After walking for half an hour, the fog miasma deepened, I didn't dare to go any further, and said to Ge Zhuang who was walking in front, "Fatty, the poisonous gas in the fog miasma is too powerful, we don't have equipment, and it is likely to be poisoned if we rush in. ”
Ge Zhuang was unwilling, saying that not far ahead is my grandfather's grave, I have to see if his old man's burial place has been touched, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards in this deep mountain, in case my grandfather's body is taken away, where can I find it?
That's what I said, I thought about it, and quickly tore off a rag from my jacket, threw it on the ground, and unzipped it to prevent it. Ge Zhuang said what are you doing? I said that children's urine can detoxify all kinds of poisons, haven't you heard of it? If your clothes are stained with urine and cover your mouth and nose, you won't be afraid of this poisonous miasma, can you pee fat man? If you can't pee, I'll give you a little!
Ge Zhuang waved his hand and said no, how can the effect of your boy's urine be compared to the fat man's silkworm armor? I'll be fine with my big pants off!
After peeing, I shook the dick, I closed the zipper, picked up the rags on the ground, looked up and saw that Ge Zhuang had already taken off his big flower pants, covered his mouth and nose with his bare feet, and said let's go.
I said you're going to see your grandfather barefoot, huh? He said that there is no flower girl in the deep mountains and old forests, and he is not afraid of birds to be seen!
Ge Zhuang finally put on his pants and walked into the mountains with his belt, and after walking a short distance, I saw a mushroom-like cloud rising from the grave that was blown up not far in front of me, and a large cloud of dense fog floated left and right, coiling there like a balloon.
Ge Zhuang shouted grandpa! I was about to rush over, my face changed, and I dragged him backwards, Ge Zhuang gasped and glared back at me, and said Little pumpkin, what are you pulling me for? My grandfather's grave was blown up!
