Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dragon's Bone
I saw that I finally got out of the cave, and I wanted to cheer, but I heard the fat man say that I had a "human face" on my back, this headless and brainless sentence, like a bucket of biting ice water, splashed down on my head, my heart was half cold, and I hurriedly twisted my neck to look at my back, and then I thought that I couldn't see, so I asked the fat man: "What the hell are you talking nonsense?" What do I have a long face on my back? Where's the length? Whose face? Don't scare me, I've had a nervous breakdown lately. ”
The fat man pulled over the big gold tooth, pointed to my back and said, "What did I scare you for, you let Lao Jin see if what I said was true." ”
The big gold tooth put the "Wenxiangyu" in his arms on the ground, stayed in the dark cave for a long time, and couldn't see clearly, so he reached out and rubbed his eyes, and stood behind me to look at my back: "Hmm...... Ay? Hu Ye, the two shoulder blades on your back are indeed the size of a palm, like birthmarks...... It's vague...... Is this a human face? It seems more like ...... It's more like an eye. ”
"What? I have an eye on my back? "My scalp is up, when I mention my eyes, the first thing that comes to mind is the exquisite ancient city under the Xinjiang desert, that nightmarish memory, compared to my tragic memories on the battlefield, is not comparable, the general terrible sorrow, I bent my arm, touched my back, I didn't feel anything, busy let the big gold tooth carefully describe what is on my back, is it a "face", or "eyes".
The big gold tooth said to me: "It's a round dark red light print, you can't see it if you don't look closely, round by circle, it looks a little like the level of the pupil of the eye, maybe I am not accurate, I should say like an eyeball, not like an eye, no eyelids and eyelashes." ”
I asked the fat man again: "Chubby, didn't you say that it was like a human face just now?" Why did Jin Ye say elephant eyeballs again? ”
The fat man said behind me: "Old Hu, just now I was thinking about the human face in the ghost mound, and suddenly I saw such a round mark on your back, so I mistakenly thought it was a face, now look closely, don't say it...... This is really a bit like the kind of eyeball shape we have seen in the exquisite ancient city. ”
The more the fat man and the big gold tooth talked, the more panicked I became, this is definitely not a birthmark, do I have a birthmark myself, don't I know it, what is growing on my back? The most anxious thing is that there is no mirror, and I can't see my back.
At this time, the big gold tooth suddenly shouted: "Fat man, you also have a birthmark on your back that is the same as Hu Ye, you two quickly see if I have it on my back?" ”
I looked at the big gold tooth and the fat man's back again, and found that there was a round dark red mark on the fat man's left back, which was indeed like a birthmark, vague, and the lines were not clear, the size was the size of an adult's palm, and it was a bit like the shape of an eyeball, but I couldn't be sure, the dark red color like blood was particularly eye-catching in the afterglow of the setting sun.
And the big gold tooth behind the slippery, except for the worn place, now I and the fat man are dumbfounded, this is no coincidence, it seems that it is not when I was with the big gold tooth, it came out, nine times out of ten, it is related to the experience of going to the ghost cave in Xinjiang, is it possible that the survivors of our expedition are cursed by the bottomless ghost cave?
I remember when I first arrived in Gutian two days ago, we were in distress in the Yellow River, and we were soaking wet, so when we arrived at the guest house, we went to take a hot shower together, and at that time, we ...... It seems that no one has found such a strange red mark on their body, which means that it just appeared in the past two days, could it be that it is not related to the ghost cave, but that it is infected with some kind of virus in this Longling Ancient Tomb? But why doesn't the big gold tooth appear on it? Is the Great Gold Tooth immune to the virus?
The fat man said to me: "Lao Hu, don't think about it, relax your heart, what's the big deal, it doesn't hurt and doesn't itch, when you go back to take a bath, find a person to rub hard in the bath, maybe it's gone, we have a baby this time, we should be happy, hey...... Where do you see this place? How do I look familiar? ”
As soon as I climbed out of the cave, I was told by the fat man that there was a strange thing on my back, and I was flustered, and I didn't care what the exit of the cave was, but I remembered that the entrance of the cave was very narrow, and it was all collapsed loess. ”
It turned out that we climbed out of the exit of the Dragon Ridge, that is, when we first arrived at the Fishbone Temple, I climbed up the ridge to watch the nearby feng shui situation, and when I came down, I stepped on a crust in the middle of the mountain, and almost fell into the place, when the fat man and the big gold tooth heard the sound and rushed to pull me out of the crust, the soil slope collapsed, turned into a cave, we also used to look inside, thinking that it was a mountain gap connecting the underground cave, now it seems that this is actually a big cave with a human face bronze tripod, connected with each other, After going around the cave for a long time, I finally crawled out of the hole that I inadvertently stepped on.
Our luggage and other things are placed in the fishbone temple not far in front, and the most important thing is to find clothes to put on as soon as possible, otherwise the big girl and little daughter-in-law who meet in this ravine will have to treat the three of us as hooligans.
I know it's useless to think about this kind of thing, but the dark red marks that suddenly appeared on the back cast a shadow on our victory, and my heart was very unhappy, the key is that I don't know what this trace behind me is, I have to find a doctor to take a look at it first, although there is no unusual feeling, but this is not an original thing, and I feel extra twisted when I grow on my body.
The wind in the ravine was very strong, we didn't cover our clothes, carried the original stone of smelling fragrant jade, hurried back to the fishbone temple, left for almost a day, the thing was still intact and hidden behind the altar of the dragon king, the three of them each found their clothes to put on, took out the liquor in the bag and poured a few sips, anyway, this piece of golden jade is in hand, and it is not a small amount when it goes back to Beijing.
The big gold tooth ate and drank to his heart's content, stroking the original stone of the fragrant jade, and was full of ambition for a while, and couldn't help singing: "I am not a horse and a thief, and I am not a gangster who steals the city...... What is the joker of the king, I can block a million soldiers with a sword......"
Although I also had some joy of making a fortune, when I thought of the red marks behind me, I couldn't pick up the interest, and just drank silently.
I had a faint feeling in my heart that this kind of eyeball-like mark would never appear for no reason, and when I thought of this, I felt that my back became very heavy.
Seeing this, the big gold tooth persuaded me and said: "Master Hu, you are also an open-minded person, you don't have to take this matter to heart, go back to the hospital to check and check, really don't take action to cut off this piece of skin, fortunately, it's not very big, it doesn't look deep, there won't be much of a problem, it's best to find a Chinese medicine first, maybe take two pairs of medicine and it will be gone." ”
The fat man said to the big gold tooth: "This is not a skin disease between the two of us, what's the use of looking for a doctor, if you find a doctor, it is better to burn it off with a cigarette butt yourself......"
I said to the fat man and the big gold tooth: "Forget it, love how to do it, anyway, it's not dead today, drink first, and talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow." ”
The fat man touched me with the wine bottle, tilted his neck, and drank the remaining small half bottle of wine in one go: "We have just made a fortune, but we have to care about this life, and we still hope to enjoy it in the second half of our lives." ”
After eating and drinking, it was already dark, we went back to the village under the Shepanpo overnight, and spent the night in the village, and returned to Gutian the next day, ready to cross the Yellow River to the north, but were told that it had rained heavily in the upper reaches of the river in the past two days, and the water potential of this section of the Yellow River was too great, and the ferry could only go to the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
As soon as we discussed, if we were looking for a boat at another ferry, it would take a day to get there, so it would be better to live in Gutian County for two days, take the opportunity to rest and rest, and go around the county, maybe we can pick up some leaks and collect a few bright utensils.
So we still stayed in the guest house last time, but this time the guest house was almost full, many people were waiting to cross the river, Gutian is a small place, there are only two or three guest houses and hotels, there is no choice, we had to live in the first floor of the shop.
Tongpu can sleep eight people, after the three of us went, a total of five people slept, and there were three empty seats, we were not very relieved to put such a valuable thing as Wen Xiangyu on the cabinet, so we had to wrap it in three layers and three layers outside, and take turns to watch in the room, and hold it when we go out.
That night, the fat man and the big gold tooth looked at Wen Xiangyu in the room, and I went to take a bath in the bathroom in the backyard of the guest house, and happened to meet the old man Liu who had drunk with us.
I said hello to him and said a few polite words, hearing that he has any famous Chinese medicine practitioners in Gutian County, and whether he will see skin diseases.
Old man Liu said that there is an old Chinese medicine doctor who has the skill of aphrodisiac to get rid of the disease, and he is a must for the treatment of psoriasis, and then asked me with concern if I am sick? What's uncomfortable?
I was about to take a shower, but I only wore a shirt, so I unbuttoned it twice, and let Old Man Liu look at my back, saying that there was a scaby on the back and I wanted to find a doctor to take a look.
After seeing this, Old Man Liu was taken aback and said to me, "Brother, how did you get this?" I don't think it's like a skin disease, it's like a red mark like blood, it's very much like a word, and I've seen this word before. ”
I asked, "What?" Is this a word behind my back? What words can you tell? ”
Old man Liu said: "It was 80 years, our county turned over a small school, when the foundation was laid, the bones of some strange animals were dug out, and they were robbed by the people at that time, and then the archaeological team came, through the county's radio, all the bones were taken away, and the experts of the archaeological team lived in our guest house, and when they recovered, I saw this word on the bone armor, not more than once." ”
