Chapter 40: Tendon and Boneless (I)

Duo Ling and Gu Chai both nodded gloomily, and Gu Chai said to me: "Boss Hu, I believe you, the senior sister and the master fell into the sea, you save them, it's so dangerous, I haven't blinked my eyes, I've never seen someone like you." ”

I heard him mention that I rescued Ruan Hei and Duoling when the sea was sinking, it turned out that he helped us salvage the "Qin King Bone Mirror" in the sunken ship, he wanted to be grateful for the newspaper, I was now thinking of "chaos", and I didn't want to take credit for this matter, so I immediately asked him and Duo Ling to prepare to sort out Ruan Hei, and then find a clam shell to bury.

Duo Ling took Gu Chai to wrap the soft black white cloth apart, wiped off the remaining blood stains on his face with water, and then re-wrapped the corpse according to their customs, most of the people in Nanyang believe in Buddhism, the two put their hands together, prayed for the dead, wished him to become a Buddha as soon as possible, when he thought of relying on each other for his life, the master Ruan Hei, who treated them like his own father, died, and there will be no day to see each other in the years to come, the most painful thing in the world is life and death, and he can't help but burst into tears again, caressing the corpse and crying, crying for a long time, under the sky above his head like blood, sang a song that Ruan Hei always hummed on the boat before his death, and the song was sad and sad, and others wanted to cry when they heard it.

Shirley Yang and I were digging mussel shells, hearing this sad song, although I couldn't understand what was singing, but I seemed to feel something in my heart, and I felt a sense of loss, and I couldn't help but stop and listen, only Uncle Ming could understand the meaning of the words in the song, he sighed and whispered to us: "The egg boys are singing the song of the egg pickers in ancient times - my god, save my bitter man, I'm not afraid of blood and sweat, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to go home......"

After singing a bitter song, Duo Ling and Gu Chai cried for a long time, and then the master's body was tidied up, Ruan Hei had nothing, no inheritance, only a "Zhuyan Pearl" with a value in his mouth, he was poor all his life, and after his death, he enjoyed the luxurious treatment that only the emperor and general had, and finally buried in the green snail clam armor, which is the "dragon residence" among the egg people, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

But we have been looking for a long time in the mussel shells piled up into a hill, and we have not seen a large enough complete and huge snail armor that can be used as a coffin, in the courtyard surrounded by four walls, you can see the carved murals of the ancients slaughtering mussels and pearls everywhere, and there are thousands of empty shells of snails, it must have been a place for scraping mussels, mussel shells were piled up into a tall tomb mountain, we once caught a "clams" at sea, its mussel shells are as crystal clear as snow, staggered and closed like two shells like teeth, such as a solid armor surrounding, no gaps can be cast, if you can find a similar to "man-eating mussels" is the most suitable spiritual object for coffins.

I didn't give up, peeled off the upper layer of mussel shells, wanted to see if there were man-eating mussels buried in the depths, but unexpectedly opened a few layers of mussel shells, inside actually "exposed" a large copper plate, stroked off the fine crushed mussel shells and sediment on it, the copper body has been soaked in seawater for a long time, but the surface of the copper plate is red "colored" stains, you can see carved with many naked "naked" female figures, its form is swimming in the sea, the posture is enchanting and gorgeous.

We didn't expect to dig up this kind of thing, for a while I don't know what this exquisite copper plate is, and why it is buried in the mussel shell pile, there are two copper rings on the copper plate, it seems that this is a lid that can be removed, I want to say that this is probably a coffin with a corpse in the mouth, but after thinking about it, I feel that this pattern and shape are not similar, how can there be a copper ring cast on the coffin lid? So the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, because he didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to open the copper plate without authorization, and made a gesture to the fat man, and the two continued to clear the remains of the snail mussels around.

The fat man excavated the snail armor around it, and "exposed" it as a whole, it turned out that there was a pair of green snail shells as big as a water tank, and the screw mouth was sealed by a copper plate, looking at the texture on the snail armor, a woman was naturally formed, the clothes were complete, the hands had fingers, the abdomen had an umbilicus, and the eyebrows were delicate, all of them were cool with the living people, and it was often heard that there was a naturally generated Arhat Guanyin statue in the mussel, and I saw it with my own eyes today, the shell water pattern was shaped like a woman, and it was also a strange thing in the sea, only to know that there were rumors of a portrait in the mussels, not the "chaos" of the egg people and fishermen's empty "holes" to come to the wind.

I asked Uncle Ming to come over and take a look, he didn't know what the snail shell sealed by the copper plate was for, guessing that it was the snail coffin made by the ancient Hate Tian clan, I had heard of the mussel coffin before, there was indeed this kind of burial custom in ancient times, but most of them were mussels, not as thick as the rice jar of the old snail green armor, most of the people buried in the mussel coffin were fishermen, and they were all men who did not get a wife, this rare and strange custom, probably because of wanting to marry with the mussel essence.

The fat man said: "Then it must be right, otherwise how can there be so many women on this copper cover, and there is also a natural beauty figure on the snail armor, what is restrained in this snail coffin must be a "lust" ghost, it is not enough to take a daughter-in-law 'woman', look at how many he is going to do after the death of this formation?" As he spoke, he went to count the number of women, but he couldn't count them for a long time.

Uncle Ming heard us say that this may be a rare snail coffin, and if there is a coffin, there will be a Ming vessel, how can you not be tempted? immediately resorted to the radical method, and babbled me and the fat man and said: "How can the dirty custom of marrying with mussels in the countryside have anything to do with this snail coffin?" I don't think this green snail is a mortal thing, the corpse in the coffin may not be a "lustful" ghost, anyway, he has been dead for thousands of years, what kind of character did he have before his death, how can our descendants be able to tell it? ”

After the fat man heard this, he said with a toothy flower: "Hey, let me explain uncle, why don't you still believe in the fat man's eyes?" If there are beads in the mouth of the zongzi in the coffin, the corpse must not have rotted yet, if you don't believe it, let's make a bet, I said that it must be a "lustful" ghost, otherwise why would such a hooligan make so many women on the lid of the coffin? The lust of lustful people is exuberant, and the "hair" on their feet is black and long, which is a good proof. ”

I think that the sweat "hair" on the legs and feet of people who swim often is indeed more developed, people who once lived in the "coral spiral" sea, the sweat "hair" on the feet is naturally thick, and the snail is impermeable, for the nobles who hate the heavens, it is not a big deal to have a bead after death, maybe the eyebrows are complete, and even the "hair" hair on the body can be preserved to this day, and the fat man is not a fuel-efficient lamp, to bet on whether there is "hair" on the feet of the dead man in the coffin, not only do not come out with a new cut, but also have taken seventy percent of the winning side, if the corpse rots away, Then at most it will be a tie with Uncle Ming.

The fat man provoked Uncle Ming with words again, Uncle Ming couldn't help but be angry, gritted his teeth and gambled with him, to see if this ancient corpse in the snail was a "lust" ghost, buy it and leave, the fat man's bet was the gold watch he fished, Uncle Ming went bankrupt and had nothing of value on his body, so he had to bet on a Nanzhu that was given to him.
