Chapter Ninety-Five: Wrapping the Corpse
I approached the statue of the man and was surprised to find that the statue had been smashed and the stone had fallen off at the place of his arm.
"It doesn't make sense, the old lady showed us the day we first came. At that time, the statue was only slightly mottled, and it was not damaged! ”
"Ahem, a mud tire, what do you care about it?" Uncle said disappreciatively.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed something strange - the inside of the sculpture did not seem to be stone, and the exposed part of the stubble that had been smashed open shone with a golden light.
I picked at it with my fingers a little harder, only to realize that it was actually a thick layer of gold leaf.
"Shhh
"What's the matter, you've found the treasure?" Uncle asked angrily.
Bread gold in stone carvings? It's so illogical. No, there must be something wrong with that. The question is, what is this bread under the gold?
As soon as I said my doubts, the uncle also noticed that something was wrong and restrained his expression.
He thought for a moment, took out a dagger and handed it to me, raised his chin and said, "Scratch it." ”
I scraped the tip of the dagger against the gilded layer, and as the gold foam continued to fall, a grayish-white, softer substance appeared underneath.
The knife continued to scrape a few times, and the gray-white thing fell to the ground piece by piece. After a while, the tip of the knife touched something hard again, and it couldn't scratch it.
I looked at my uncle. He took the dagger, scraped it horizontally a few more times, and wiped it with his hand. What appeared in front of me was a blue-black hard object.
Now the old man frowned. He pinched his chin, then picked up the off-white shards that had just fallen from the ground, twisting his fingers slowly.
A moment later, there was an exclamation.
"Ahh The old man shook his hand violently, and then rubbed his fingers back and forth on the placket of his clothes, as if he had just scratched.
"It's a dead man! Damn it, bad luck! ”
Nani? I was stunned. Dead person? Are you serious?
"In this statue, there is a dried corpse wrapped in it!" The old man shouted angrily.
I shuddered when I heard this, and immediately took a step back.
"Uncle Qiu, what...... What do you mean? ”
"Coat the corpse with gold dust so that it does not decay for years. Then use this as an embryo and paste the cement on the outside to make this sculpture! ”
As he spoke, he spat twice on the ground.
"People are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery, and the house is old and has ghosts and teeth. I can't imagine that in addition to evil ghosts, there is such an evil thing! He shouted.
I listened to it in a cold sweat. What is the situation, is it a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation?
What kind of person has such a big brain, and what is his purpose? Who is this corpse? I couldn't help but think of Lin Jiahe's wax dolls. These two things are really similar.
But what I want to know most at the moment is who smashed the statue open.
I spoke my mind. The uncle's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "If it wasn't for your colleague, it must have been smashed by that female ghost." ”
The answer is actually obvious, the people in the crew will never do this.
"Luo Jinfeng......" I whispered, and a thought suddenly came to my mind.
I looked up and down at the sculpture in front of me, the body was tall and well-proportioned, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the corpse inside must be a handsome guy.
"Uncle Qiu, you say, will this person be ......?"
"Qi Chuanxiao!" We both said the name in unison.
"That makes sense. The female ghost probably came to see if it contained the body of her unfaithful husband, so she smashed it open. Uncle said.
I nodded.
"Could it be that Qi Chuanxiao died halfway, and Luo Yinfeng was so anxious that he made a statue and placed it here as a memorial?" I say.
The old man did not speak, but he approached the statue and scraped the exposed black hard object with the tip of his dagger.
"Not true. The man was poisoned to death, and you see, the bones were black. His face became even more gloomy.
yes, how did I overlook this detail.
"If it's really Qi Chuanxiao, then who poisoned him to death? Could it be related to Luo Yinfeng, she has a history of poisoning. I analyzed.
"It's possible." Uncle frowned.
After a while, he shrugged his shoulders in relief, took my arm, and said, "Forget it, those bad things between them have nothing to do with us, who is he loves, and he loves to die." It's important to get down to business. Walk! ”
I think what Uncle said is reasonable, but I always feel that this corpse is not so simple.
Continuing along the path to find the traces of the female ghost, we walked to the gazebo.
"Nowhere else, where the hell is this girl hiding?" Uncle Qiu was a little annoyed.
At that moment, I felt an itch coming from the back of my neck. The reflexive hand scratched twice, silky and cold. When I looked at the palm of my hand again, there were several long black hairs!
When I reacted, I immediately ran behind my uncle.
Looking up, there was a person lying on the roof of the small pavilion at this time, it was Zheng Yifei. Long black hair hung down in mid-air, fluttering.
This is completely out of line with human mechanics!
She glared at me, sneered, and then threw out a lot of locks of hair at a speed that I couldn't see with my naked eye, and flew towards me and Uncle Qiu in the blink of an eye.
The old man reacted too quickly, and jumped out of the pavilion in a flash. And when I tried to run again, it was too late, and I was tied by the strong knots of my hair, and I was lifted into the air.
"Uncle Qiu—" I shouted.
As soon as the old man raised his hand, several soul-destroying nails flew out and went straight to Zheng Yifei.
The nails dug into her body, quickly turning black, and wisps of black smoke came out. Zheng Yifei roared and fled with a gust of wind.
I let go and fell to the ground again.
Rubbing my aching knees, I muttered, "Uncle Qiu, are you crooked again?" ”
The old man pursed his lips and said, "Of course, this position can't hit the Heavenly Spirit Acupoint." But it's weird! I obviously hit her Tiantu and Shenque two acupoints, so I should have knocked her out of the female doll's body. Hiss-"
The old man's face was full of inexplicability.
You can't do it, uncle, I can't help but mutter. If you are not good at learning, you can tell me in advance, the ghost opponent plus the pig teammates, this is the rhythm to hang.
The uncle thought for a while and said, "I'm not looking for it." Now she is in the dark, we are in the light, and it is easy to suffer. Let's go, let's go back and wait. ”
I blinked, and I didn't know what to say: "Where to go back?" What are you waiting for? ”
The old man smiled mysteriously and sold a pass: "Hehe, just follow me and you'll know." ”
Follow him back to the antechamber and upstairs to the room where the dressing table was placed.
"Didn't I tell you she had something important here, right in this house. You watch. ”
As he spoke, the uncle walked over to the vanity mirror and put his hand behind the mirror. When he pulled out his hand again, there was an extra object in his hand.
"See?" He held it up and shook it triumphantly.
