Chapter 126: The Woman in the Pocket Watch

Seeing the strange scene of the big snake eating the small snake, I reacted after a long time, and said to the fat man in a daze: "Did you see it just now? That...... The big serpent actually ate the little serpent! I don't even chew, you say, will the little snake drill in the belly of the big snake and finally burrow the belly of the big snake? ”

The fat man seemed to be about to be paralyzed from exhaustion, and lay on the bank of the river with his arms outstretched, and only snorted twice when he heard me speak, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

I was full of doubts at this time, but I was not very sleepy, so I sat up cross-legged and looked at the snakes on the other side of the river, and asked the fat man with great interest: "Hey, you say, aren't these big snakes and small snakes together?" Why does this big snake eat small snakes? You see that the big snakes have eaten the little snakes, and those little snakes are still surrounded by stars like the moon, do you say that those little snakes are cheap bones! ”

The fat man pursed his lips and said slowly: "The two situations you said are not contradictory at all, the big snake can indeed command the small snake, but that is in the ideal situation of calm and calm, once this kind of ammunition without food is exhausted, the big snake will naturally take its own survival as the best result, and you still expect the big snake and the little snake to talk about human rights?" Talking about equality? ”

I suddenly felt in my heart, turned my head to look at the fat man, and tried my best to be indifferent and said: "Fat man, I really should be impressed by Shibei for three days, I have been in a coma for a long time, and you know a lot of things." ”

"You just asked me why I knew the arrangement of the bronze columns! You still have to beat around the bush with me about our relationship? The fat man glanced at me, sat up and said angrily, "This is what I heard the Tong family say before leaving, the arrangement of this bronze pillar seems to follow an ancient arrangement of their inverted bucket world, the archaeological team four years ago was able to find the pattern of the bronze pillar arrangement in the moat, the Tong family is one of the four major families of tomb robbery, naturally they also have their methods, I secretly heard it before they left." ”

A little careful thought was recognized, I was slightly embarrassed, looking left and right to remove my two shoes, just when the water surface had not reached my trouser legs, now my shoes poured into a lot of river water, I just removed the shoes and poured out a lot of river water, this river water is a little oily green, the taste is sour and smelly, it is spicy eyes.

After a short rest by the river, the fat man and I continued to embark on the road ahead, and the fat man said to me while shining a flashlight on the road ahead: "Old Tang, you say, have the Tong family experienced the siege of the black snake just now?" ”

His question woke me up, yes, the Tong family has more than us, and the movement must be bigger than ours, if those black snakes are really sensitive enough, they shouldn't let go of the Tong family and only attack us.

The fat man coughed lightly, and then said: "I guess there are two possibilities, one is that the Tong family doesn't know what means to use to avoid the detection of that group of black snakes, you see, there are so many black snakes, even if they devour the same kind, it is impossible to survive in the ancient tomb, so I guess that they are dormant when there is no prey, this situation can preserve their physical strength to the greatest extent, and they must be through specific means to detect whether there is prey approaching, as long as there is an understanding of these black snakes, If you can avoid their detection methods in advance, you will naturally not alarm those black snakes. ”

I nodded to signal that the fat man made sense, and the fat man paused and continued: "The second possibility is that they have snake repellent medicine, so that the black snake group does not dare to attack them, anyway, it is impossible for them to do it with the snake group, there are so many of them, the number of black snake groups is more, once they fight, it is bound to leave traces, and the two of us are not blind, it is impossible not to detect clues." ”

I suddenly stopped, the fat man just said the word "snake repellent" seemed to be like a lightning bolt across my mind, I don't know why, a dark red powder medicine suddenly appeared in my mind, these dark red powder drugs seem to be the nemesis of the black snake, once spilled, those black snakes will definitely escape.

But what the hell is that dark red powder? Why did it pop into my mind? If I can get these packets of this snake repellent, then why should I be afraid of these black snakes?

But after these thoughts came to my mind, it was just that, and once I wanted to dig deeper, there was a sharp pain like pins and needles in my mind, and I could only hammer my head hard to relieve the pain, and I didn't dare to delve into it anymore.

The fat man gave me a hand: "Are you alright?" How do I feel that you have been Shinto since you entered this bronze gate? ”

I waved my hand, pushed the gas mask on my face, and replied angrily, "It's okay, I just remembered something, now is not the time to say, let's move forward." By the way, fat man, do you think the two brothers sent by the Tong family to explore the way died under the attack of the black snake? ”

The fat man frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I can't say this well, but how do I feel a little bit different, we have experienced the attack of the black snake, this is not a sudden sneak attack, even if the pair of double sticks died under the snake venom sneak attack, will it not even have time to report?" No, I don't see it! ”

I swallowed and foamed, and cautiously said, "Yes, I think so, and that means...... Behind the bronze door, there is something even more terrifying besides the black snake? Then we have to be more cautious. ”

The fat man smiled bitterly: "Alas, you said that with the skills of our three-legged cats, what is the use of being cautious?" Many times I feel glad that I know old Tang, how many times I have turned danger into a disaster is completely by luck, to be honest, I think now, since we went to the pheasant grave for the first time, I feel that we are now living every day to earn a day. ”

The fat man's words really touched my heart, and I also sighed deeply, and said, "Yes, Wu Li is dead, Ji Gang...... Ji Gang is also dead, Hong Jinglong is nowhere to be found, the two of us can get to this point, it's really a dream to think about, fortunately, there is the Tong family exploring the way ahead, or ...... Oops! ”

I patronized and talked to the fat man and didn't pay attention to my feet, this foot didn't know what I tripped over, I stumbled and almost fell to the ground, I was furious, I looked back to see what tripped me, the fat man had already exclaimed solemnly: "This ...... What the is going on! ”

I stood firm and turned my head to look, and the first sight made me almost jump up, and what was lying on the ground was the corpse of the Tong family!

Although I didn't talk to him, and I don't know his name, I remember his appearance clearly, this person was the first to move out of the top door of the jack-like instrument at the bronze door, burly and powerful, with a pair of big hands like a fan, he looked like a ruthless character, but he died here today.

The fat man crouched down and took a flashlight to examine the corpse carefully, and after a long time he raised his head and whispered to me: "Both arms are crushed and fractured, the knee of the left leg is shattered into powder, and the ankle of the right leg is also broken, I don't know what happened to him, he was made like this." ”

I said, "These are not fatal injuries, you see that his neck is soft, he must have been twisted and died...... No, fat man, you look at his face, it seems to be a bit blue-green blue-green, how do I feel...... He seems to have died of poisoning! ”

The fat man also frowned: "Don't you say that I haven't found it yet, his face is indeed a little strange, but no, he has suffered such a large trauma, either a fracture, or a fracture, and there is no external injury, so how did he get poisoned?" ”

After secretly saying a few sorry words in my heart, I slowly inserted the blade of the bronze knife under this corpse, and the fat man also inserted the bronze knife together when he saw this, and I counted "one, two, three" After the two of them worked together, and slowly turned the heavy corpse over, but to my great disappointment, no fatal injuries were found behind the corpse, it seems that this person was so good, and he was suddenly beaten up, and then he was highly poisoned for no reason, and then died?!

"Look here."

The fat man pointed to the edge of the tomb not far away, there was a backpack thrown out, even if this person was really poisoned and died, the backpack was so far away, it should not be infected with toxins, so I directly lifted the backpack over, unzipped it and poured out the contents of it.

This backpack is not big, but it contains a lot of things, but they are all miscellaneous things, most of them are personal belongings, and the rest are some food and two bottles of drinking water.

The fat man tore open a pack of vacuum-packed spicy chicken thighs, took a big bite, threw a pocket watch in his hand to me, shook his head and said, "Old Tang, look at this." ”

I looked at this vintage pocket watch that he turned out of his backpack, a little inexplicable, and when I opened it, I found that there was a round photo inlaid in the inner case of this pocket watch, and the background of the photo was on a lawn, a young and beautiful woman holding a child, looking at the camera and smiling very happily.

"This ...... This can't be this man's wife and children, right? I looked at the picture in this pocket watch and stammered to the fat man.

"What do you say?" The fat man spat out a chicken bone that had been sucked cleanly, and said disdainfully, "Do you think any tomb robber will take someone else's wife and children to the ground when he goes to the ground?" ”

"Then it doesn't make sense." I poured a large sip of mineral water, rubbed my chin with my hand and asked suspiciously, "There are rules for this tomb robber, but anyone who has already married and had children must wash his hands in a golden basin, not only because he is afraid of leaving orphans and widows difficult to survive, but also because the older generation of tomb robbers are superstitious that this man who has a family is bad luck and will invite unclean things under the tomb, even if he wants to come, the rest of the team will not agree." ”

I looked down at my pocket watch again, and the woman in it was smiling warmly, but at this time, it seemed to me that it was a little weird and terrifying.
