Chapter 20 Peacock Feathers
Before he finished speaking, I didn't know who I kicked him, and I almost fainted with a kick in the face, and then I heard the sound of a series of fracturing planks in Zheli, I didn't know what was going on, in a panic, I hurriedly lit the torch, stared at it, and saw that the old itch was wrestling with something, and it had rolled into the coffin, and the whole row of coffins was staggered, and the bones were scattered all over the place.
I hurried up to help, but found that I couldn't help, that thing was not big, but it was full of violent, and the weight of more than a hundred pounds of old itching pressed on it couldn't hold him down, the two of them turned together, rampaged, I couldn't get close at all, and the slightest bit would kick inexplicably, I couldn't enter the battle group after several attempts, and I could only stand outside to do the key no way.
After a while, the old itch will not be able to hold on, the thing has almost successfully escaped several times, I saw that it is not okay to go again, so I had to greet Master Liang, the two of them went up and down, pounced on the old itch, and pressed the old itch and the thing under the body, the old itch did not expect that I would come to this trick, and the pressure was enough, and he was busy yelling: "You fucking leisurely!" Lao Tzu's backbone is about to break. β
I pressed the old itch hard, completely pressed the weight of the three people on the thing below, and found that there was no movement, so I asked him, "How is it?" Is that thing dead? β
A few words squeezed out between the old itch's teeth: "I don't know!" But if you don't fucking let go, I'll die! β
I saw that his face was flushed, and I knew that my weight was indeed not light, so I quickly withdrew my strength, and the old itch turned over, let out a sigh, and said to me: "You-you are too fucking ruthless, don't you think it's okay to stack seven or eight people when you were a child?" Fortunately, Lao Tzu has a hard backbone, otherwise he would have to be half paralyzed! β
I said what are you talking about, if you didn't get that thing, would I still be stacking Arhats at such an old age? Your waist is bent, and it's not easy for me to fucking ah.
Lao Itch listened, rubbing his waist, while scolding me for having no conscience, I ignored him, turned to Master Liang and said, "Anyway, what is that thing, why is it not strong but amazing, you have to take a closer look." β
As soon as I said this, all three of them came to their senses, and we looked over, and saw that in the coffin pile, there was a gray and fluffy thing, about the size of a lynx, which flattened the ground for us, and was still trembling.
Old Itch picked up a man's thigh bone. Turning the mass over, I looked, cΔo! After making trouble for so long, daring is a big mouse. I looked at Old Itch and Master Liang, they also looked at me, and the three of them all laughed, no wonder I couldn't find the attacker just now, it turned out to be like this. After this rat attacked us, he must have believed that the hole in the coffin was drilled casually, and there was no trace of it, and we thought that we had met a ghost, and it was really the old hen who called herself mom - she was (scared) herself.
But when I thought about it, I felt that it was very inappropriate, this mouse. His mother is too big, the whole is bigger than a cat, and I don't know what breed it is, the coffins here are so tattered, they are probably their masterpieces. Maybe I still grew up eating the corpses in the coffin, and I don't know how many such rats are in these thousand coffin holes, if you run into a group, you will have to eat and walk around.
Lao Itch and I had the same thoughts, and after laughing, his face changed, and he said: "It's not good, this rat emperor crushed us to death, I don't know if his rat grandson will make trouble for us, I think it's better to withdraw quickly, don't stay at the scene of the crime." β
I nodded in agreement, and the old itch turned his head, and had just taken a few steps, when he suddenly said, "Hey, trough cakeβwhere shall we go?" β
I looked up, and it turned out that there was a scuffle just now, upside down, and it was the same before and after, and now I couldn't tell where we came from and where we were going.
Although I had a slight feeling in my heart that I could vaguely distinguish the correct position, this feeling was so faint that I was almost not sure that I was really sure that what I was thinking was correct, and when I hesitated, this feeling disappeared without a trace.
The old itch looked at it more than a dozen times before and after, and there was really no way to see it, so he said to me: "Forget it, anyway, the coffin here has also made it like this for me, let's spread the bang and rush over." β
I looked at it, and still felt that something was wrong, so I wanted to ask Master Liang's opinion, but when I turned my head, I found that he was not listening to us at all, but was concentrating on cleaning up the bones on the ground.
I felt strange in my heart, and the two of them poked their heads to see what he was doing.
This man-rat battle implicated more than a dozen coffins, these coffins had already decayed and only had a shape left, so once they were hit, they were all destroyed, almost all of them were broken into pieces of wood, and the bones inside naturally all rolled out, and the ground was a mess.
Most of these bones are incomplete, probably for these big rats as grinding tools, digging pits and pits on them, and some of them can no longer tell which bone on the human body is.
The old itch saw that Master Liang was already thinking about it, and he was curious, and asked him, "Master, what kind of garlic are you pounding?" β
Master Liang was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and said to me: "It's amazing, I made a mess for this mouse, but I made a mistake and found a big secret for Zaixia." β
I saw that his eyes lit up, and he was inexplicably excited, and my heart was even more strange, what kind of secret can this Raozi's bones have? β
Master Liang asked us to squat down, picked up a bone for us, and asked, "Two, let's see, can you see something?" β
I glanced at Lao Itch and I didn't know what tricks he was playing, Lao Itch made a very strange smile and said: "Don't you chill us, we are upside-down dead people's things, not upside-down dead people, you better say it directly, let's hurry up after we are done."
Master Liang smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm so excited that I can't speak, don't mind, you let me think about how to say it first, uh-you look at the bones and take a closer look." β
I took the bone, and when I looked at it myself, I saw that there was a very smooth gap in the place he was pointing to, and the incision and the bone were the same as the one face, and the age should be relatively old, but what was the purpose of Master Liang showing me this, I couldn't think of it.
Master Liang looked at me with a puzzled look and said, "It's okay if you can't see it, I'll tell you, this bone." It's the person's collarbone, and that's the position. He pointed to his neck, and then said, "This gap, called the old xΓ¬ng bone wound, was caused before death, and you can see that the incision is sharp. There was no bone healing at all, indicating that the time of the wound was very close to the time of the person's death. β
The old itch is very impatient. He said, "What, the bones are hurt, yes, the bones are hurt, it's pitiful, but let's hurry up, the torches are almost gone." β
Master Liang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Give me three more minutes, I'll finish it right away!" β
I see that he is very excited, and he will definitely not stop until he makes it clear. The old itch Rory was rambling and delayed time, so he hurriedly asked the old itch not to interject, turned his head and said to Master Liang: "Don't pay attention to him, you can say it quickly." β
He swallowed and spat, and said, "Where did you just go, oh, the time of this wound is very close to the time of this person's death, and I can probably conclude below." This wound is supposed to be the cause of the person's death, and the reason why it is in this position is probably because someone used a knife to cut the carotid artery from above the collarbone, and the knife was cut too quickly, so it was cut to the bone. β
When I heard this, I wondered and asked, "Didn't you say that the people buried in this cave must have died of natural causes?" According to you, the owner of this bone is murdered!
Master Liang smiled very strangely and shook his head: "Not only this one, all the corpses here are dead like this, you see, there should be 7 collarbones here alone, and there are such cuts on them, so this is not a cave burial of the Miao people, but a slaughter ground for corpses, I estimate that these thousands of people, all of them were killed by cutting their throats, if you don't believe it, we will open these coffins, and we will definitely be able to prove what I said." β
After Master Liang said this, his eyes looked at me like a torch, I showed him straight hair, and said in my heart What is going on with this person, the corpses are piled up, and the corpses are piled up on the ground, so I was excited to look like this, and I hurriedly asked him: "Master Liang, the big secret you said is this?" β
Master Liang pretended to be mysterious and said: "No, no, this is just a prologue to the big secret, and what I want to say next is the main topic." β
The old itch was so impatient that he almost fell to the ground when he heard that he dismounted, and said, "Huh? It's the prologue just now, then wait a minute, who is that, Lao Wu, you put out the torch first, and then light it later, I'll find a place to lie down for a while. β
Master Liang had completely entered the state, and he didn't care at all, and took out a piece of something from the fragments of the coffin, and said to me, "The big secret is hidden in this thing." β
I took it and looked at it, it was an indescribable thing, it seemed to be a hat, and it seemed to be part of the armor, but since this thing was not a bone, it must be a stabilizer, I ordered to pick it up and take a closer look at the torch, and said in surprise: "Is it a tartar hat (an official hat of the Qing Dynasty)?" β
Master Liang nodded: "Not bad." β
At this time, I don't know if it was infected by the nervous master, or my own intuition, I vaguely felt that what Master Liang said might really have something earth-shattering in it, and I was cold for a while.
Master Liang continued: "The official hats of the Qing Dynasty are divided into two kinds: warm hats and cool hats, you look at this one, there is no lining, it is a cool hat, this person died in the summer, and, most strangely, this thing. He carefully peeled off a piece of something from the fragment of the official hat: "Look, although this piece of thing is inconspicuous, but it is the key, little Angkor, you are an understanding person, you know what it is at a glance." β
I've already made a cold body, and I looked at his meaning, and immediately understood, that thing, nothing else, is the fragment of the flower feather on the hat of the Qing official, probably when the corpse was decomposed, it was stuck to the hat by the corpse liquid, I took a look, and found that it was still a piece of peacock feathers, and I took a breath of cool air at the moment, with a peacock feather on my head, an official above the fifth grade, how could he die in this place?
Master Liang has found a lot of fragments of Hualing at this time, I counted the eyes, all of them are peacock Hualing, and I was shocked in my heart, could it be that all the people listed here are officials, how can it be possible, there are only a few officials in the Qing court, and there are thousands of corpses here, and it is not enough to kill all the officials of the five grades.
The old itch looked at me differently, and I couldn't understand what we were talking about.
patted me and asked, "That, have you said the topic, we really don't have time, you guys are so close to each other, let's go back and talk slowly." β
I ignored him and asked Master Liang, what the hell is going on, these corpses are piled up here, it's too weird, first, since it's a massacre, can't just throw the corpses indiscriminately, why do you have to put the corpses into the coffin, and secondly, everyone has to arrange the coffin like Qimen Dunjia, if you want to trap people, isn't it better to use stones that won't rot?
