Chapter Twenty-Seven: Dragon Meat
The setting sun floated behind a few large maroon clouds in the western sky, like a clove of garlic soaked in brown sugar water. The golden sunlight reflects the copper magnificently, but without losing its tragedy.
Bai Xinruo, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, kept twisting his head, and when he saw such a beautiful scenery, he couldn't control his tears.
Hui Idiot kept looking down at his book, and when he heard Bai Xinruo's faint cry, he just turned his head and looked at her accusably, without saying anything, and went back to his book.
Ren Qiuling looked nervously at the road, and the car drove like an arrow on the copper cement road. Even when the windows are closed, you can hear the "hissing" sound of the air rubbing against the body.
With a "whoosh", the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, Ren Qiuling opened the car door and ran out of the car, running directly towards the intensive care unit.
The door to the intensive care room was open, but Lao Xutou's bed was empty.
"Are you looking for Lao Xu?" An elderly lady who was caring for a patient said to Ren Qiuling: "He has a heart attack and has been sent to the emergency room." β
Ren Qiuling only felt dizzy, and pulled the iron bar of the hospital bed hard to prevent it from falling. At that moment, she really felt a malice from the underworld, as if there was a supernatural force preventing her from handling the case.
A pair of hands wrapped around her shoulders and held her in his arms. That person is Bai Xinruo.
Ren Qiuling fell weakly into Bai Xinruo's arms, who took her out of the intensive care unit half-dragged and half-hugged, asked her to sit on the bench in the hospital corridor to rest for a while, and kindly poured her a glass of water.
"If one day, I die at the same time as Hui Idiot, please bury us together." Bai Xinruo whispered, "You can't be born with the same body, but you want to die with the same hole." β
Ren Qiuling took the water, "I won't let you die, you have already helped me too much." From now on, you are all out of this case. I'm going to face all of this alone. β
Only then did the idiot come over, sit on the bench opposite Ren Qiuling, and said, "I'm too fat to run away, the main reason is that I can't run at all." β
Ren Qiuling looked at the two masters beside her, one good and one evil, and was so moved that she couldn't speak for a while. After all, at the critical time, neither of them gave up their own way.
At this time, the electronic clock in the hospital lobby showed that the time was already 5:23. At the moment when Ren Qiuling aimed at it, the clock jumped to five past twenty-four.
Judging from the refining technique provided by Hui Idiot, Ren Qiuling speculated that the mine where Wu Zhijun was hiding must be very special, after all, not every cave has a Xuanyin leyline. Something special must have happened in the mine with the Xuanyin leyline, and it is highly likely that it was abandoned.
Dong Fengxian's cultivation level is estimated to be not very high, she can't fly, and she hasn't seen her cast any magic powers. How did she know about the Xuanyin leyline? I believe it won't be her own investigation, and she doesn't have that level. Well, she must have listened to what the old people had to say, and then deduced the result.
Ren Qiuling's idea is actually extremely simple, what she wants to find is a mine cave where supernatural events have occurred. There are not a few people who believe in witnessing this supernatural event, and she is looking for such an old man who knows the story.
Old Xu Tou is such an old man.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the sudden onset of Lao Xu Tou disrupted Ren Qiuling's detection plan.
Just as Ren Qiuling was thinking, the clock in the hospital hall jumped to five past twenty-seven.
Ren Qiuling sighed in her heart, she really had nothing to do. Despair and grief crushed her, causing her to bury her head in her hands, and "Alas......," she let out a heavy sigh.
"Don't be too upset," said the old lady who had just met in the intensive care unit, "you know what? Old Xu Tou will have a heart attack, and his son is angry. The young man looked like a human being, but he was so angry that he could make people's hearts ache when he spoke. He said that Lao Xu Tou retired, and if he didn't eat idle food, he wouldn't be nosy, and he injured himself, so he was really full. At that time, he was so angry with Lao Xu that he fainted. β
Ren Qiuling looked up at the unfinished old lady, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her head, what she was looking for was an old man who had lived in Zitong all his life, and Lao Xu Tou was just one of them, but such people were actually everywhere.
For example, the one in front of you.
Ren Qiuling pretended to be mysterious and said, "I heard a story-" The old lady suddenly became interested, "Oh? β
Ren Qiuling's voice was low, "Once upon a time, there was a mine cave, and it didn't look special. However, then it had an accident......" Because there is really nothing real in these words, Ren Qiuling can only make a fuss about the intonation, and deliberately speak in a gloomy manner.
The old lady said, "Hey! You're talking about Cave No. 1, I've heard this story. β
Ren Qiuling said: "Have you heard? She used the psychiatrist's parroting trick again.
The old lady said: "The story is that there was a mine cave that had been mined for more than a thousand years, and it had been mined since the Tang Dynasty. The copper produced in that mine is really purple and in excellent condition, and the name of our copper comes from there. β
Ren Qiuling said: "Uh-huh, then what? β
"Around the seventies, the color ore industry was not as developed as it is today, but explosives were already used in mining. After the workers set off the cannons, guess what? β
Ren Qiuling didn't know this story at all, and asked, "What did you blow up?" β
The old lady forgot Ren Qiuling's head, and told the mysterious story to herself, "The ore layer in that mine is very thick, up to more than ten meters thick. The workers blew it up with one cannon, and as a result, a piece of meat more than 10 meters high and 20 meters wide was blown up. β
"Fried meat?"
"That's dragon meat." The old lady said with great certainty: "This kind of dragon is an earth dragon." Living underground. At that time, there were brave people who cut more than a pound of dragon meat and boiled it in water, telling you that the fragrance could be smelled by everyone in a village. People who have eaten dragon meat say that its meat is very delicate, similar to that of field chicken. β
Ren Qiuling knew that the matter had already been opened, but she still asked, "What happened later?" β
The eldest lady said: "At that time, the feudal superstition was very strict. At that time, the copper company was in charge of safety production was a female section chief, surnamed Chen, she did not believe in evil, and personally led some brains to eliminate the residual poison of feudalism, and wanted to personally prove that there was no meat in the mine, which were all sabotage carried out by spies with ulterior motives. She led the people to the mine......"
Ren Qiuling suddenly thought of the section chief Chen she saw this morning, and shouted, "Wait a minute, does that section chief Chen like to hold an enamel teacup?" β
The old lady said, "yes, I forgot this detail. Section Chief Chen suffers from a cold stomach, so she holds an enamel teacup everywhere she goesβdon't interrupt me telling the story. Where have I gotten to? β
Ren Qiuling said: "Section Chief Chen has led people down to the mine. I couldn't help but feel furious in my heart, it turned out that I really met with a group of old ghosts, and asked people for some mine distribution map. But fortunately, that Dong Fengxian mistakenly thought that he was a master and confessed a lot of useful things.
"Section Chief Chen led the team into the mine, and there were so many people watching the piece of meat at that time that it could be said that the entire mine was blocked. However, when the official comes, the workers will still give way. I walked in all the way and didn't encounter anything special. At this time, another strange thing happened. When the old lady said this, she deliberately sold it and stopped coughing.
Ren Qiuling couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened?" β
This is exactly the effect that the old lady wants, she smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "Section Chief Chen, they have already walked to the bottom of the mine, and they will soon see the huge meat." At this time, a woman who was extremely beautiful, naked and holding a peach in her hand, walked out of the mine. β
Even Ren Qiuling, who had personally witnessed many supernatural events, couldn't help but exclaim: "Huh? The idiot also put down the book in his hand and looked at the old lady in surprise. Bai Xinruo himself has created countless mysterious events, but he can't guess why a fragrant scene suddenly appeared in such a tense story.
Imagine that scene, in the mine full of men, suddenly appeared a naked woman, extremely beautiful, holding a peach in her hand, really strange.
The woman, who was said to be naked, was not shy at all, and walked straight through a group of young miners to the outside of the mine. Those miners are going crazy, and they don't look at dragon meat anymore, and just follow the bare-bottomed woman and leave. Think about it, young men are going crazy when they see a good-looking young girl, not to mention that this girl is not only young and beautiful, but also naked, what do they have to be crazy? The old lady said in a mocking tone.
The miners all ran out of the mine with the woman, and it was useless for Section Chief Chen to yell and scream. Those heads didn't know what to think, and they didn't come out. Then, the mine collapsed, and all those people were buried in the mine, including some elderly miners who didn't like to look strange, and they died about ......" When talking about the death toll, the old lady looked left and right, as if it was a sensitive topic, "The death toll is at least more than three hundred. She said.
Ren Qiuling knows why the eldest lady is so nervous: China's classification of the severity of accidents is based on the number of fatalities. If there are less than 10 fatalities (including 10 people), it is called an accident and the main leader will not be dealt with. But if there are more than ten people, it will be a major accident, and the positions of some leaders will be lost. So the bridge collapsed, ten people died, the fire burned the mall, it also killed ten people, the ship capsized, and ten people died......
"That woman is the birthday boy who went down to earth. Think about it, it was freezing at that time, where were peaches? There is only the queen mother's peach orchard! The old lady's story should have been heard, and some imagination was added, "Look at the birthday guy's crutches, is there a peach hanging on it?" He knew that some people had not reached the end of their lives, so he deliberately turned into a bare-ass woman to save the lives of these people. So he's a good fairy! β
Ren Qiuling, Hui Idiot and Bai Xinruo felt that this birthday guy's method of saving people was a bit inferior, not like it could be done by an on-the-job immortal, it was possible to say that it was a mountain spirit and a wild monster.
"Is there really a hole No. 1?" Ren Qiuling used the agitation method, "Why haven't I heard of it?" β
The old lady couldn't be excited, "Lie that you're a puppy!" Cave No. 1 is in Crouching Tiger Ridge, and the entrance to the cave is still there. β
Ren Qiuling stood up excitedly, "Thank you for your story!" Let's go, let's go to Crouching Tiger Ridge! The last two sentences are naturally said to Bai Xinruo and Hui Idiot.
