Finale (I) Chapter 15 The Fat Man in the Gaps
I was astonished and delighted, and immediately shouted to the side: "Come on, pry this crack open!" Inside are your own people! β
I yelled around, and Xiaohua immediately gave a whistle, "Shovel!" With a bang, a few young men ripped off their backpacks, took out the guys and rushed over, the movements were very sharp, obviously Panzi trained very well.
These people knew what was going on when they got closer, and I was limited by my identity with a mask, so I could only watch from the sidelines, and they immediately used shovels and masonry hammers to pry the gap under the command of Xiaohua.
I soon found that although the color of the stones around the crack looked exactly the same as the mountain stone, the hardness was much lacking, and after a few pries, all the stones around the crack were cracked, and when I pulled the gravel aside by hand, the crack soon became the width it was when I climbed out.
After that, it became extremely difficult to smash the hole again, and I was surprised to see that the sight before me was a means of disguise, and the circle of rocks that seemed to grow out of the wound on the gap was not a stone at all, but a substance softer than a stone. However, it looks exactly like the stone, and even the texture is almost the same.
I didn't have time to think about it, the fat man was dragged out of it, and an extremely unpleasant smell was brought out of it, and when the fat man was dragged down, the fat man was motionless and seemed to have completely lost consciousness.
He was at least thinner than when I had seen him before, he looked a little waist-like, covered in dark green sludge, and his eyes were wide open, as if he were dead, but when I went up to feel his pulse, it was still beating strongly.
A few people hurriedly carried it to a place with good air circulation by the lake, and the fat man was extremely heavy, and several times a few people with less strength could not catch it. Throw the fat man on the ground, and the people who watch it worry about it.
Drag it all the way to the lake and put on the gas lights. I can fully see the embarrassment of the fat man, and the fat man himself is not good-looking. The most serious appearance is already very sloppy, but now it seems that the zongzi has just been dug out of the coffin, and the clothes on the body are all strips. Covered in green sludge, Xiaohua brought water from the lake to wash him down, revealing sore sores the size of eggs.
"Holy shit, it's a sick pig." One of the guys whispered.
"He's dead. How not to move. "Someone slapped the fat man's face, and I pulled him, and Xiaohua called someone who could see a doctor to come over and check the fat man.
I saw the "dumb girl" come over, looked at me, tied up her hair, and leaned over to examine the fat man. I didn't care about avoiding suspicion at this time, and I watched from the side. In the mask, the tendons jumped, but fortunately they couldn't see it.
The "dumb sister" cut the fat man's clothes. Halfway through the cut, we all saw an amazing scene, the fat man's stomach was full of countless blood marks with his fingernails.
Although it is not in order at a glance. But I can still see at a glance that these prints have a very obvious pattern. The dumb sister used a wet towel to delicately wipe off the blood stains of the fat man, looking for more fatal wounds. I watched the blood stains remove and found that the blood stains were extremely finely carved, one by one, on his stomach, describing a totem-like pattern.
"Is this a word?" Someone said, "This fat man's stomach has a few words written on it." β
"Dumb Sister" continues to check the scratches on the fat man's belly, and there are many more that are covered by clothes. She couldn't get any of these clothes, and she cut them all the way. Sure enough, I saw that there were more scratches on the fat man's lower abdomen, and the outer contour of the whole line was shaped. It really looks like words.
This scratch should be caused by scratching the skin with a sharp object with moderate force.
I picked up the fat man's hand, and sure enough, I saw sharp triangles on his own fingers, the nails of his thumb biting out.
It seems that these traces were carved by the fat man himself, although the fat man himself is very muddy, but to carve so many lines with his fingernails on his stomach is not something that ordinary people can do, what does he want to express?
The first part was already scabbed, and apparently all the strokes had been carved over a long period of time, the first stroke was at least seven days before the stomach, and the latest one was still bloodstained.
I thought about it and said to Xiaohua, "We may be able to read what is written when we stand up and put him aside." β
Saying that, we took a few steps back and turned a few directions along the fat man to look, I tilted my head, still couldn't understand.
"Rummage through his clothes and see what's there." I told around me that maybe there would be some hint of his clothes.
Several people were in a hurry to flatten the cut torn clothes, and at this time the "dumb sister" spoke: "Look far away, don't get in the way here." β
I realized that the fat man didn't know what to do, and immediately waved them back, and Xiaohua walked to the side with the people.
I was worried about the fat man, so I suppressed my voice and asked the dumb sister, "Is he in danger?" β
The dumb sister pressed the fat man's neck and didn't answer me, I thought she was counting her pulse, and I didn't dare to ask again, but after waiting for her, she let go of her hand and said, "You're finally willing to talk to me?" β
Damn, my brain is buzzing, how to answer this, and I am worried about the fat man, and I don't want to turn around and run away.
My mind flashed, and I thought about how he would answer this kind of talk with the character of the third uncle, I know what he looks like when he eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, but I don't know what kind of feelings he has for this girl, and I don't know how he contacts women in private.
After holding back for a long time and not answering, she rolled the fat man's eyelids and didn't look at me, but still said: "I don't care what you did during this time, only those idiots believe your words, but I believe that you have your reasons for doing things, but you are back, why didn't you come to me in the first place." β
"Wang Baqiu and the sixth ......" I prevaricated.
"It's not a day or two that they're going to turn against you." The dumb sister said, "Can't I help you?" You really don't believe anyone except your crazy pan, do you? β
"I don't want you to be involved this time." My legs were a little shaking, but I didn't expect to be so stressful to trick a woman, so I immediately lit a cigarette. Before she could smoke it, she turned around and snatched the cigarette and pinched it off the stone. "Since you have surgery on your throat, don't smoke so much."
I laughed dryly, this is a mistress, this is clearly the style of the main palace mother, but I think it's very good, if the third uncle is still alive, he really needs someone to take care of him, but it's a pity that his life and death are uncertain now.
"You haven't explained it to me yet." She touched the fat man's bones.
"Things are a little complicated...... "I thought about how to say, if I told her the truth, I was her nephew, could she agree to be on my side?" It's hard to say, I think it's difficult for her to even believe it, what my third uncle and I have experienced in the past few years is not something that ordinary people can understand, if she thinks it's a conspiracy, we're even more troublesome. "I think you ......"
Before she finished speaking, she didn't know where she pressed the fat man, and suddenly the fat man grabbed her hand, she was startled and exclaimed.
The fat man was obviously using great force, and she couldn't break free, so she listened to the fat man start talking nonsense almost convulsively.
His pronunciation was already extremely muffled, and I went up and held his hand, pulled his hand away from my dumb sister's wrist, and leaned over to listen
He spoke. After listening to it for a long time, I could tell what he was talking about, and the heat lifted the hairs all over my body.
When the people around heard the movement, they thought something was wrong, and they all gathered around at once.
"What did he say?" Xiaohua came in from outside with a medical kit and asked me.
I said, "He said they were still alive, but the situation was dangerous, so let's go down and save them immediately." β
"They are alive and trying to save people."
In fact, the fat man said these eight words, and he kept saying them, completely unclear, and he had to be very familiar with the tone of his speech to understand them. Luckily, I'm that kind of person.
For a moment, I suddenly felt a sense of collapse.
Fuck, the fat man took himself for a note, and he came out to report it.
I can't tell if it's relief, it's anxiety, it's ecstasy, or any emotion. I used to be in a state of faint worry and trying not to think about the people below, because I really didn't know what the situation would be, so I could only try not to move my emotions, but now that I am sitting down, I don't know what emotions to express.
The fat man still kept talking, and the whole person entered a state of epilepsy, so I had to lean down and whisper in my own voice in the fat man's ear: "I am naΓ―ve, I heard it." β
After saying this a few times, his hand that grabbed my wrist slowly relaxed, and the whole person slowly went limp, and seemed to fall into a coma again.
"What picture?" Xiaohua asked me, "Where is the picture?" β
I looked at the fat man's belly, and the direct carvings on it, I now knew what it was. "Get someone to draw them all down." (To be continued)
