Chapter 460: A Piece of Jade
This is a floating corpse, the corpse is already **, the blisters of the long time have already made the corpse deformed, the swollen legs and feet are as thick as a basin, and the facial features are completely unrecognizable. The water of the underground river was full of rocks, the corpse was stuck here by two large stones, the black hair swayed back and forth along the water, like aquatic plants, those hairs were waist-length, at first glance, Cha Wenbin thought that this should be a female corpse.
Cha Wenbin is not a forensic doctor, but he knows that even if an ordinary corpse is soaked in the cold underground world, it will not take more than two years, not to mention that there is such a group of maggots. Either this is a man who has not been dead for too long, or he has been washed out by the flood.
The three-legged toad was probably full, jumped up with a bulging belly, and stared at Cha Wenbin with his invisible neck and hiccuped. After all, animals are still animals, and it doesn't care how disgusting the corpse is, how bad it smells, it's its food.
Cha Wenbin wanted to walk around, and it was not a good thing to encounter such a corpse in a strange place.
"Let's go." Cha Wenbin squatted down and said to the greedy toad on the ground.
According to the past, if Cha Wenbin made this move, the toad would have jumped up and jumped into his sleeping bag, but this time it did not move, but readjusted its body to face the river.
Cha Wenbin was helpless, and said with a smile: "Is it that the food is too strong and I can't jump?" So, he stretched out his hand and tried to catch it. Before his hand touched it, the toad jumped into the water first, and when he showed his head again, he floated in the water and shouted to Cha Wenbin: "Goo! ”
Cha Wenbin waved his hand, waved his hand a little unhappily and said, "Let's go, we have to go." ”
When the toad heard him, it got into the water again, and after a while, it came out of the water again and continued to shout to Cha Wenbin: "Goo! Probably seeing that Cha Wenbin was still indifferent, it simply kept circling around the floating corpse, and kept screaming while swimming.
Although the three-legged toad is a very spiritual animal, it has a very lazy temperament, and it must have something wrong if it can make such abnormal behavior. Seeing that it kept circling the corpse, Cha Wenbin pointed at the corpse with the mentality of trying it and said, "You let me get it?" ”
Although the three-legged toad couldn't speak, it kept tapping its chin to the water, as if someone was nodding in approval. Cha Wenbin immediately followed and jumped into the water, although the current was small but very turbulent, he tried to use his hands to turn the dough-like corpse, it sank very much, and the person was recovering from a serious illness, and his strength could not be used. When he returned to the shore, he untied his bag, took out an old Taoist robe, and tore it into a pile of strips of cloth, which he connected to make a rope.
The swollen head was already as thick as a neck, and its limbs were connected to the body, and it was clear what the torso was. After finding a place where he could bear the force, Cha Wenbin returned to the shore and began to pull desperately, and finally moved the body from the two stones, and the turbulent water immediately rushed the corpse downstream.
Seeing that the corpse was washed away, the three-legged toad swam in front of it quickly, putting its mouth on top of the corpse, trying to use its own strength to resist the current, but he was also carried downstream, and that scene made Cha Wenbin also feel funny.
After several times of continuous struggle, he finally found a stone that could withstand the force, Cha Wenbin leaned on the stone and slowly pulled the corpse inch by inch to move to the shore, and the three-legged toad pushed three legs, whether it had the strength or not, in short, it did its best.
After a lot of effort, the body that had been soaked beyond recognition was finally pulled up. The corpse weighed several times more than after being blistered, and when Cha Wenbin saw that it was on the front of the body, he felt that something was wrong. The clothes on this corpse had already been washed clean by the water, and the vaguely recognizable male physiology was in sharp contrast to its long hair!
It's a male corpse! Modern men would never have such long hair, Cha Wenbin thought to himself, could it really be an ancient corpse? What was the purpose of the three-legged toad to let himself get it?
But there are only two things that can attract the three-legged toad, which is listed as immortal by Taoists: food and treasure!
Eating, apparently it had already eaten enough, and when it pulled the corpse just now, there were more maggots falling into the water, but it didn't care, but blindly held the corpse, obviously it cared more about the dead corpse than the food. What reason is there for a deformed corpse to be so excited?
After the three-legged toad came ashore, it first kept circling around the corpse, then came to Cha Wenbin's side and rubbed his feet, and then ran to the side of the corpse and "croaked".
Cha Wenbin saw that it kept using its nose to hit the same part of the corpse, apparently trying to turn the corpse over.
"I'll come, I'll come." Cha Wenbin looked at its funny appearance, and didn't care if it was disgusting or not, he took out the seven-star sword and inserted it under the corpse as a crowbar, and slowly forced, and the dead corpse slowly turned over.
The corpse turned over and couldn't wait for Cha Wenbin to inspect it, and the three-legged toad jumped away, opened its big mouth, and rolled its tongue to take something in its mouth. Just now, Cha Wenbin only noticed that it was a flash of green in front of his eyes, and then he was swallowed by it.
The three-legged toad's mouth also revealed two pieces of dark red rope, which were tied to the neck of the dead corpse. Cha Wenbin squatted down and took a look, the rope was an ordinary rope, a small red rope used to make some jade pendants and gold ornaments, which was obviously a product of modern mechanization.
The three-legged toad had something in its mouth and began to step back two or three steps, but the rope was still tied to the corpse, and it was like a fish that had bitten a hook.
Cha Wenbin gently patted his little head and said, "Be good, spit it out." ”
The three-legged toad's slippery eyes still refused to let go, but the strength of the struggle backwards was greater, and the neck was also stretched longer and longer, and he kept shaking his head, and the posture was: I won't give you death.
Cha Wenbin simply sat on the ground, looked at the three-legged toad that continued to pull hard, and smiled: "Since you are not at ease, then I don't care." Otherwise, you spit it out, and I'll untie it and give it back to you. "This man and a toad actually negotiated in this ghost place in the middle of nowhere.
The three-legged toad's eyes swayed from side to side and finally locked on the red rope, presumably knowing that it could not complete this difficult task on its own, so it chose to compromise with reality. With a big mouth, a green ring fell into Cha Wenbin's hand.
Gently wiping the saliva from the ring, he could see at a glance that it was an ancient jade, because the color on the jade was perfect, and it had become one with the jade itself. This is a jade ring the size of a copper coin, the hole in the middle is very small, barely able to squeeze into a thin rope, the whole piece of jade green with emerald, the feel is round and gentle, Rao is not good Cha Wenbin pinched it in his hand and sighed: "It's really a piece of jade!" ”
Needless to say, it is not an ordinary product to be remembered by the three-legged toad, you must know that Chaozi got back those antiques that he regarded as treasures, this three-legged toad is not even bothered to sniff, one of the jade wrenches unearthed in Liangzhu can be called a national treasure among national treasures, and I haven't seen the three-legged toad move a little thought, why is such a jade ring so nostalgic.
Cha Wenbin's hand only had a flickering fire, even with such a little bit of light, the jade ring could be transparent before and after. Then the light, in the jade pendant faintly there was a dragon-shaped pattern flickering, in order to see clearly, Cha Wenbin lit another candle for the first time, with the shaking of the flames, the dragon actually began to dance!
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that gold is valuable and jade is priceless, and a good piece of jade can attract princes to meet each other, and its value is often measured by several cities. For jade, every generation of ancient Chinese civilization is deeply obsessed with it, and behind every piece of valuable jade often hides an unknown history and secret.
The surface of the jade ring is also carved horizontally and vertically with some simple and complex lines, some of which are convex, some are concave, criss-crossed, and at first glance they look messy, but then they don't look like they are simply depicted.
Cha Wenbin put the piece of jade in his arms and smiled at the three-legged toad on the ground: "Let me leave it here for a few days first, and then I'll give it to you after I get out." ”
The three-legged toad shook its head desperately, which meant that it would stop doing it, and jumped high several times in a row, as if it wanted to snatch it in Cha Wenbin's hands. Cha Wenbin grabbed the three-legged toad that jumped high, nodded its little nose and said: "People say that good jade should be raised by beauties, and this piece of jade will be raised with a toad in the future, don't worry, I will give it to you when I go out, how about it?" ”
I don't know if it chose to believe in Cha Wenbin again or thought that it really couldn't fight this cunning master, so it slipped its head into its sleeping bag and fell asleep......
