As soon as Gao Sishou saw that thing, his body was obviously shocked, he grabbed it and unfolded it to look at it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and exclaimed: "This is human skin!" ”

Human skin? At that moment, I only felt a numb scalp, a chill welled up in my heart, and my stomach rolled for a while, and I almost vomited.

Gao Sishou didn't care about us being shocked on the spot, and without saying a word, he turned on the lamp on the table, picked up the magnifying glass next to him and looked at it carefully.

After a long time, Gao Sishou finally exhaled. He sat down on the Dengzi next to the table, his finger joints rhythmically tapped on the table, and after a while, he scratched the back of his head and said to Gen Lao: "Brother, where did you get this thing?" ”

Gen Lao spit out a puff of cigarette and said to me Nunu: "This is handed down by this Shao ancestor of our family, and he came to ask me what it is today, and I don't have a deep study of this thing, no, I asked you." ”

After speaking, Gen Lao glanced at me and blinked, before I understood the intention of Gen Lao's words, Gao Sishou nodded and muttered: This thing is very evil, it is a bad thing. ”

Scary? My heart moved, and I asked, "Master, what kind of evil method is this thing?" ”

Gao Si waved his hand: "Hey! It's all a family, what a master or not, I like to deal with you young people, if Brother Shao doesn't dislike it, Brother Gao will be able to look up to Gao. ”

This Gao Sishou is quite easy to speak, I can't help but have a good impression of him, and I didn't postpone it anymore, so I said: "Brother Gao, you say this thing is very evil?" What kind of evil method is it? ”

Gao Si pursed his lips and nodded at me, then sighed again, not knowing what he wanted to express, "This story was told to me by my master." After Gao Sishou finished speaking, he went on to tell such a story:

This is the end of the Qing Dynasty, there is a family surnamed Chen, a family of eight, the world is not good, natural disasters **, the life is miserable, they only keep opening up the wasteland to alleviate the days of eating the last meal without the next meal.

One day, I was digging out an ancient tomb on the top of my own mountain. At that time, they were all honest farmers, and they were very taboo about this thing, so they hurriedly sealed it back with soil, and they didn't dare to open it again.

Although the days were poor, they came by like this.

In a blink of an eye, the eldest son and the second son have reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, although they have talked about the two family affairs, but the bride price money cannot be taken out of any way, and the worried head of the family can't sleep all night.

At this time, the head of the family also heard some stories of digging graves, and thought of the ancient tomb on the top of his mountain. As soon as this idea came out, it was out of control, so he summoned his three sons overnight to discuss.

In the end, the young man was bold, thinking that he could not only solve the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law, but maybe he could also live a prosperous life, although he was a little hairy in his heart, but he still unanimously agreed.

The father and son did what they said, and set off with iron picks, shovels, candles, ropes and other tools. The four of them worked together to dig up the ancient tomb, and the head of the family took the two eldest sons inside, and the younger son watched the wind outside.

However, the youngest son waited outside and waited left and right, and saw that the sky was about to dawn and did not see his father and brother come out. The youngest son was so anxious that he mustered up the courage to go in and check carefully.

As soon as he entered, the youngest son sat down on the ground and wept bitterly.

It turned out that the father and son dug the grave for the first time, and they didn't know that there were many organs in the ancient tomb, and the two young people were impatient, and they accidentally touched the mechanism and were smashed by falling rocks, and the head of the family also fainted and died unclear.

The youngest son cried for a while, his heart calmed down a lot, adjusted his mentality, and went over to check whether the head of the family was alive or dead. Fortunately, the head of the family was unharmed, but because of this sudden change, the head of the family fainted.

The youngest son woke up the head of the family, and the father and son hugged and cried again.

After crying for a while, the youngest son said to the head of the family: "Dad, it's almost dawn, let's not rob this tomb, see if we can move the stones away and go back with the bodies of the two elder brothers." ”

The head of the family wiped away his tears and said angrily: "No! What are we going to say about bringing the body back? Just go back like this, didn't your two brothers die in vain? After that, he took the tools and went to pry the coffin.

As soon as the youngest son thought about it, he followed the head of the family to carefully pry open the coffin.

This ancient tomb presents the shape of "earth", including the main tomb chamber with a total of five rooms, two ear chambers, and two auxiliary chambers. There is a coffin in the main burial chamber, and a coffin in each of the two side rooms, and it is not known who the owner of the tomb is and which dynasty he was born in.

The father and son pried open the coffin, and immediately swept away the grief and were overjoyed, and the funeral goods in the coffin, gold, silver and jewelry were countless.

The two estimated that it was almost dawn, and whether they were valuable or not, they put them into the sacks they brought, and cleaned up the dry bones and everything in the coffin, removed the falling stones, and put the bodies of the two family members into the coffin.

After exiting the tomb, the two sealed the tomb again with soil and sneaked home.

Back at home, the two closed the doors and windows, lit candles and squatted on the ground to sort out the things they brought back. Among them, there is a human skin scroll. How did the two of them know what it was, and thought it was fine silk.

The youngest son felt very soft in his hand, and it felt very good and comfortable, so he carried it in his arms. The head of the family is such a son, and he doesn't know anything, so he leaves everything up to him.

They were not stupid, they did not sell the gold, silver and jewels immediately, and announced to the public that their two sons and elder brother had gone out to buy and sell business.

Later, he said that their business was getting bigger and bigger, marrying wives and having children outside, and the life of the family was getting better and better, and they were getting richer and richer.

The days have been peaceful, and they feel that this thing will pass like this. However, the tragedy happened without warning, on the night of the youngest son's wedding.

On the same day, the banquet lasted until the evening, sent off the guests, and the youngest son returned to the cave room to linger with the bride.

So, there was a chat without a match, chatting and chatting about the human skin scroll, the youngest son took it out to show his daughter-in-law, and the bride didn't know what it was, it was very comfortable to touch, and she liked it very much.

The younger son saw that the bride liked that thing very much, and waved his hand and said that he would give it to his daughter-in-law, and the bride was very happy to see that her husband was good to her.

In this way, she fell asleep in a daze, and slept until midnight, when the bride woke up her husband and said that her back was itchy, and asked him to scratch her.

The younger son scratched her in a daze, but the bride scratched more and more, scratching and scratching, and the younger son also felt that his back began to itch.

In his sleep, the head of the house suddenly heard two screams from his son's room, and he ran to see what was happening before he had time to put on his clothes. Seeing this, he fainted with a scream of "ah".

I saw two bloody human skins hanging on the head of the bed in the room, still dropping blood drop by drop, and there were two bloody monsters sitting next to the bed.

The two monsters seemed to have taken off their skins, and they were still scratching each other's itches, and when they saw the head of the house rushing in, a humanoid monster bared its teeth at the head of the house and shouted: "Dad, come on, my back is so itchy, come and help me scratch the itch." ”

That night, a fire broke out in that family, and the bones of the family were left behind.

Suddenly, one day, an unkempt old beggar appeared on the street, and this old beggar was crazy, and when he met people, he said that his back was itchy and asked people to help him scratch it.

"Do you know how this thing is made?" Gao Si picked up the human skin roll and raised it to us.

I was still immersed in the story and didn't come back to my senses, and when I heard Gao Sishou say this, I shook my head and said I didn't know.

Gao Sishou continued: "It can be said that it is quite complicated to make this thing, where can ordinary people have it, it is generally stored by emperors or royal nobles. ”

Gao Sishou took a sip of tea and continued: "First of all, they will choose some young women, not casual women, they must be strictly controlled, the first condition is to be young, and secondly, the smoothness and elasticity of the skin must meet certain requirements, and then the skin must have no blemishes, which is considered a good choice." Then they were cut off from their backs without any anesthesia, and then processed and preserved with dozens of tedious processes. The function is generally used to record some extremely secret people or things. ”

I don't know how they feel, but I feel itchy in the back, it's too horrible, too cruel, too inhuman!

"Do you see what is recorded in this human skin scroll?" At this time, Gen Lao took over and said.

Gao Sishou frowned and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there is probably a treasure buried in the place marked here, or an ancient tomb." ”

"Treasure!" Crazy Da heard Gao Sishou say that it was a treasure, and he was extremely excited.

"It's a pity that this human skin scroll is incomplete, but, then again, even if it's a whole, it's not easy to confirm the specific location, our country is so big." Gao Sishou shook his head and said.

This made me even more confused, and I guessed all kinds of possibilities.

Who would send me such a thing? Could it be that my parents got this human skin roll when they were traveling, and then someone had bad intentions and was discovered by my parents, and then my parents left that note and ran away with the human skin roll? And then sent it back?

Later, the gangsters caught my parents, and after torture, they told me about the human skin rolls sent to me? Then they found me in Hunan right away, and found that it wasn't on me, and then they let me go?

That's not right! If that's the case, I'm sure I'll be watched now, and now that I've got the human skin roll, no one will come and grab it! Moreover, my parents still don't allow me to call the police, so I can't be reasonable.

Just thinking about it, the third child bumped me with his elbow, and I didn't come back to my senses, looking at him suspiciously. "Uncle Gao called you!" The third said.

I looked at Gao Sishou, Gao Sishou cleared his throat and said, "Brother Shao, I don't know if there are any hints left on your ancestors?" ”

Prompt? This is not left by my ancestors at all, and I don't know why Gen Lao said that it was passed down by my ancestors, what hint can this have? I shook my head and said, "No, this thing is just wrapped in a very ordinary red cloth, and it doesn't leave any hints." ”

Hearing me say this, Gao Sishou looked very distressed, and he stood up and walked back and forth in the inner hall, muttering that he didn't know what to read.

I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, it would be strange if I could come up with something!

Unexpectedly, at this time, Gao Sishou suddenly ran over, grabbed my shoulder, and said with a look of surprise: "Brother Shao, you mean that the human skin roll is wrapped in a red cloth?" ”

I was blinded by the sudden surprise of Gao Sishou, and nodded reflexively, Gao Sishou saw me nodding to confirm, and laughed: "I know"
