Chapter 17: The Ghost of the Yellow River (I)
Fang Kong, if I hadn't known him for a long time, I would have thought that he was the executioner who crossed over from Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty, because the eyes of his dagger made me feel like those killers of blood drops in the TV series who killed people without blinking, which was terrifying.
I'm a person who is born to worry about life, I know that this Mu Jia is not a good person, but I am still worried about him, human skin map, isn't that just to let Fang Kong peel the skin on his back alive.
When Fang Kong walked past me, I immediately grabbed him, but before I could speak, Na Mujia seemed to guess what I was going to say, and deliberately said to us: "On my back is the topographic map of the Lingyun Mountain Tomb, without this, you will never find the correct entrance to the tomb." ”
Xiao Wu asked him, "The right entrance?" ”
Fang Kong is ruthless, and Mu Jia is really a man, without anesthetic, this guy was skinned alive without frowning, he heard Xiao Wu ask him, and said lightly: "Of course, you think that you can find the tomb by relying on your modern instruments and some broken words poured out of other tombs, it's ridiculous." ”
Xiao Wu's face sank, and he stopped talking, probably thinking about something, Xiao Dong had been sitting on the side, looking at his appearance, it was estimated that the sequelae of this dizziness had not healed, and the whole person was still dizzy when he looked at it.
The human skin was quickly peeled off, and the blood was handed to me, to be honest, I really didn't take it, you said that if it was an animal skin, I would never say a word, but this is a human skin, trembling in my hand, my scalp was numb. Goosebumps fell to the ground.
Mu Jia took out a small porcelain bottle from his small cloth bag, threw it to Fang Kong, and said, "Then this one is sprinkled on the wound." Bandage it for me. ”
Fang Kong did so, and after a while, the skinned Mu Jia stood up like a person who had nothing to do. Reaching out and taking the bloody map in my hand, there was no expression on his face, he first put the map in a copper basin in the corner of the secret room and washed it, then spread it on the table, went to the next candle from the offering table, and then put the human skin map above the flame to bake, I have seen this scene countless times in the TV series, I didn't expect this method to really exist.
The fire had been baking for about ten minutes, and several times I wanted to ask him something. But several times I was forced back by Xiao Wu's sharp eyes, and in the past ten minutes, none of us spoke, and we couldn't even hear the sound of panting, and the surrounding silence was surprisingly strange, and it was indescribably weird.
The map on the human skin map has been fully revealed, and in my opinion, this is a landscape painting, which is called the map of mountains and rivers. I really don't see any mystery, maybe my Taoism is not enough.
Thinking so, I was also observing the others, Xiao Wu and Xiao Dong after watching it. The expressions on his faces varied, but he didn't say anything,
Mujia dried the map and walked over to us with it. He hesitated, then handed the map to me. I looked at him, a little confused.
"Take it. It's safer to put it with you. Mu Jia's voice was clear.
"Why? You're not afraid that I'll take your map and leave first. I asked.
Mu Jia smiled, with a little contempt in his laughter, "The two of them may do this, but you won't." ”
"Why?" I don't know when I suddenly liked to ask these three words.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Dong also seemed to be waiting for the answer to this question, Mu Jia looked at the three of us, sat on the chair, and threw out a sentence nonchalantly: "Because you are the stupidest." ”
Well, I'm not going to bother with you for now.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps on the ceiling of the secret room, Mu Jia asked us all to hide under the offering table, I thought there was a secret room under the offering table, but I didn't expect that it was just one and a half meters square, and the three one-meter-eight old men almost performed their clavicle skills, shrunk into a ball and barely curled up inside.
The footsteps outside were messy, there were about a dozen people who broke in, no, it should be said that they ran in, I looked through a gap under the offering table, the dwarf winter melon who was going to catch us like wild boars before walked in the front, and he was still carrying a shotgun, standing in the middle of the secret room with a red face, he looked at the surroundings of the secret room very vigilantly, as if he had a premonition of something, and after looking at it for a while, he asked loudly: "Patriarch, why did you come here?" ”
Mu Jia shrugged indifferently and said, "I'll see if those people are hiding here." ”
Speaking, he deliberately looked at the side of the offering table, and the dwarf winter melon immediately came over, not only that, but he also beckoned the other two villagers, seeing that this posture was to open the offering table, my heart was raised to my throat, and my heart said You are a turtle grandson, Lao Tzu is still fooled by you.
When he was greeting his ancestors for the eighteenth generation, he suddenly heard Mu Jia's voice, "Don't mess around, that place is a forbidden place, you know the fate of violating the clan rules, we are far away from the emperor here, you can be counted on who can help you." ”
The tone of these words is not serious, but it is full of deterrence, and a violation of the clan rules has made everyone here change their faces, indeed, in some closed-minded ancient villages, the status of the patriarch is supreme, and he can even control the power of life and death, so no matter whether this Mu Jia is a puppet patriarch or not, everyone still has to abide by this clan rule.
Sure enough, the dwarf winter melon immediately retracted, and stood in front of the offering table very respectfully, because the angle was not good, I couldn't see what he was doing, and soon, the villagers who came in with him also faced the straight table of the offering, it seemed that they should be asking the ancestors to plead guilty, after all, they broke in so loudly, in the end, there were no rules.
"Is everyone back?" Mu Jia's voice came.
The dwarf winter melon said; "They all came back, we searched this mountain, but we didn't find anything, Liu Shenxian said, they may have entered the village."
I muttered in my heart, what is this Liu Shenxian, as soon as I heard the name, I knew that he was not a good person, Mu Jia was silent for a moment after hearing it, and said coldly: "Liu Lao is back?" ”
"Yes, just came back, and now it's outside." This time it was an unfamiliar voice, I couldn't see his appearance, and I guessed that it was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
Mu Jia suddenly stood up and said as he walked out, "Why are you still staying here?" ”
The group exited the secret room one after another, and after they were all gone, I was the first to crawl out from under the offering table, stretching my arms and legs, and finally feeling like a person again.
"Who is Liu Lao?" Xiao Dong looked around the secret room vigilantly.
"Xiaodong, why did you forget Liu Benxian?" Xiao Wu looked up at the ceiling, "Let's go up and meet this Liu Shenxian and see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd." ”
Outside the ancestral hall, a man of less than five feet stood with his back to us, and Mu Jia stood with him, a large height of the body, and the dwarf winter melon and several other villagers surrounded them, lighting torches to form a semi-circular protective circle.
Xiao Wu ignored my obstruction, jumped out with a "poof", grabbed the neck of the Liu Shenxian, and said, "Liu Benxian, your kid finally appeared, I thought you would never come out to meet people for the rest of your life." ”
Xiaodong also jumped out, I couldn't stop it when I saw it, so I had to let it go, Fang Kong also wanted to go out, but I held it with both hands, "What are you following the Wu family." ”
Fang Kong shook my hand hard and said, "What do you know, it's this bastard who caused my dad to send the company to a dead end, and our Fang family will fall to the point where it is today, and I have become nothing now, and it is all caused by this bastard." ”
I was a little stunned, and before I could understand anything, I watched him rush out, and I could only stand behind and shake my head helplessly, and walked out. (To be continued.) )
