Chapter 51: The Living Dead
There are many things I didn't expect during my trip to Guangxi, but this time it was especially huge! Along the way, many things were unthinkable in advance, and most of them can be figured out after thinking about it. But this time, I couldn't figure it out, whether it was before or after. Brother Xiao Ma actually let go of his hand and let the third child fall.
Let's not say that Brother Xiaoma's skills will definitely not make such a low-level mistake, and I won't say what the situation is under the hole, it's reasonable, public and private, and everything is good for, in short, as long as it's not a neurosis, as long as there is no deep hatred between the two, no one will choose to let go in this case, but will pull people up first.
Does the third brother have a grudge against Xiao Ma? No, like me, I've known Brother Pony for less than half a month, so what's the grudge? Is Little Pony a neurotic? More! In addition to his words, he likes to be handsome, and he always feels like a sullen man who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. In a way, he's more normal than any of us.
But such a person who has no reason to let go at all chooses to let go.
Brother Pony seemed to realize his mistake the moment he let go, and he wanted to reach out and grab the third child again, but some things will be lost forever after you let go. When you look back and regret it, it's too late to make amends. You will find that no matter how hard you try to redeem it, it will be useless, and you will not be able to recover it.
I watched in extreme horror as the third child fell like this, and subconsciously took a half breath back, and I felt a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow spread from the outside to the inside to every inch of skin on the whole body. For a moment, it reminded me of a big winter, when Crazy took a piece of Ling Bing slag and put it on my back.
I couldn't help but shudder, and then my brain exploded, and the whole person was completely covered. This time, I really realized what it means to be scattered! There are only two words in my heart - it's over! For a while, even his ears lost his hearing, and his eyes went dark, so he fell softly.
In a trance, I seemed to hear the exclamation of Gao Sishou, and then I didn't know which of them pulled me aside. I sat there in a daze, repeating in my mind: the third is dead, the third is dead
I don't know how long later, a vague figure walked up to me, he crouched down and shook me vigorously, his face was also blurred. I only saw a mouth close one by one like a fish in the water, and I felt that the person in front of me was so annoyed, I waved my hand and struggled out of his hand, muttering, "Who are you?" What are you talking about? ”
Suddenly, someone slapped him on the back of the neck, and there was a sharp pain. I had a thrill in my head, and I broke out in a cold sweat before I came to my senses. After concentrating on it, Gao Si squatted in front of my eyes and smiled, "Brother Shao! Your third child is fine, your third child is fine! ”
My heart was shocked! I couldn't believe my ears, "Huh?! Gao Sishou said several times in a row that the third child was fine, and I was sure that I had heard it correctly. I was really overjoyed in my heart, and hurriedly turned my head to find the figure of the third child. However, after looking for a few turns, I didn't see the third child.
High four hands lied to me!
Suddenly, a vicious fire rushed straight to the top of his head, damn bastard! Lie to me at this time! I pulled out my dagger and got up, and I had to fight with Gao Sishou. Gao Sishou looked at me with a fierce look, quickly stood up and took a few steps back, and exclaimed, "Are you fucking stupid?" Your third child is still under the hole! ”
When I heard this, I couldn't wait to slap myself: how did I forget this stubble! It seems that I am dazed in a hurry. So Chong Gao smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly ran to the entrance of the cave to see. The little brother was still looking at the murals and reliefs on the stone wall next to the entrance of the cave. I didn't bother to question him, so I leaned down into the cave and looked inside.
The lantern in the burial chamber was not concentrating, and although it opened an opening in the floor of the burial chamber, it was still pitch black inside. I shouted at the inside first, and when I heard the hoarse response of the third child from inside, this heart was slightly given.
Although the voice of the third child was heard, I was not sure that he was okay. I took out my flashlight and shone it down, but I didn't expect another passage to appear below!
The passage was noticeably narrower than the one above our heads, about the width of two or three people shoulder-to-shoulder. In terms of height, I will visually inspect it, and it should be five or six meters in the current position of the third child.
The third child sat on the floor of the passage and leaned sideways, rubbing his ankles with one hand and his buttocks with the other. When he looked up when he saw the light source, his eyes narrowed. He hurriedly lowered his head and raised his hand to block the flashlight.
I just wanted to ask him if he was okay, but the third child smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle! Come down and play, "Rub!" There is also a mind to joke, and it is not expected to be a big deal, so this heart can be considered completely settled.
"Play with your size! Wait, I'll pull you up! "I don't have a good airway. After speaking, I was about to find the rope, but Gao Si stopped me with his hand and said, "Wait first, maybe the real tomb owner is hiding in the passage below, I will clean up this tomb first, and then I will go down and have a look." ”
When I think about it, too. He lowered his body and shouted at the third child, "Third child, you sit down for a while, and then we will come down together." The third child didn't answer, but stretched out his hand and made an "ok" gesture. Gao Sishou looked at me and nodded, and walked away as if a ghost had entered the village.
I was afraid that the third child would be scared down there alone, so I wanted to go down to accompany him first, but my eyes flickered, and I saw Brother Xiao Ma standing on the side with a calm expression, so I didn't fight at once. I stepped forward and nudged him, "I said what's the matter with you?" Why let it go? What if I get caught up in the trap here? ”
Brother Xiao Ma didn't speak, Gao Sishou answered first, he cleaned up the main room, and wanted to go to the rightmost matching room with his backpack, but he was afraid that we would have a conflict, so he turned around and said: "I said that the two masters, if you have something to say, don't do it!" ”
I ignored him and looked at Brother Pony asking him for a word. Brother Pony's face was expressionless, and his face, which was as white as paper, was rarely a little ruddy. He's blushing too? Is this an expression of embarrassment? I thought to myself, was it really just a mistake?
"You speak!" I saw Gao Si enter the rightmost room, raised the volume again, and then lowered the volume again, "Should I believe you?" Are you still not your own? ”
Brother Xiaoma's throat moved, still expressionless, seeing that I was really anxious, I exhaled a little helplessly. "Shao Xi, you remember, except for yourself, no one is your own person, remember, it's anyone!" Brother Xiao Ma said the word "anyone" very seriously, and after speaking, he turned around to look at the murals and reliefs on the stone wall.
I was very confused by Brother Xiaoma's incomprehensible words, and my heart said, what does he mean by this? Isn't this nonsense! Anyone? Could it be that even my own parents, crazy, and the third child are not considered my own people? Joke! Originally, I thought you were on my side, but now it seems that you and Gao Sishou are both people all the way, I can't believe it!
"What do you mean by that?" Still a little curious as to what he meant, I asked. He didn't even look at me, his eyes stared at the stone wall and said, "It's boring, you just have to remember." "Neurotic! The third child was fine, I was too lazy to bother with him, and turned around to see how to get down to the passage below.
"Come and take a look," said Brother Pony, pointing to the stone wall.
I waved my hand and said, "Forget it, I'm not an archaeologist, and I'm not interested in any of this, so you might as well see for yourself." "I'm leaving.
"Adou" Brother Ma said coldly.
As soon as I heard it, I became angry, I watched it if I wanted to, and I didn't watch it if I didn't want to, why did he scold me? Just as he wanted to get angry and reason with him, Xiao Ma pointed to the stone wall and said, "If you can see something, then I will retract what I just said." ”
Isn't it just a mural? What's the big deal? Just watch! "Plus an apology!" I said, thinking of the third child below, and said, "There is also the third child!" ”
Brother Xiao Ma snorted coldly and nodded in agreement. When I walked over to see it, the colors of the mural were bright, but it was a bit strange. Above is a beautiful woman, dressed in a tulle costume, with her head raised as if looking up, and a circle is depicted on the top of her head, as if she is looking in a mirror.
Strangely, at the woman's feet was an arc, like a pot lid or something. This thing is not painted in color, but carved in relief. Compared with the whole, it seems a bit nondescript.
Looking further down, far away from the woman in the mural, they have reached the lower end of the stone wall, but there is a group of people painted in that position. Some of them bowed down and some raised their hands in worship. This woman is so strange, looking in the mirror and having so many people looking at her, how proud she is of her face.
It occurred to me that the owner of this tomb was a woman, could it be that this person was depicted on the stone wall? Anthracene! It should be, the third child said that this woman is not the master of the harem but also a favorite concubine, and that group of people kneeling to watch her look in the mirror is also said in the past. If you think about it carefully, it's not right, so ordinary people can see that noble people are grooming?
I don't understand, why does this little brother want me to watch this. But since it's a bet, it's a matter of what. So he tentatively said, "This mural should depict the owner of this tomb, right?" ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, Brother Xiao Ma sneered, didn't say yes, didn't say no, but pointed to the small sarcophagus on the left very strangely and said: "Those two little sarcophagi have been transporting air to the big sarcophagus, do you remember what I said that needs air?" ”
That's right! Brother Ma didn't say that I forgot about it! I said, "That's not easy, as long as it's a living thing, you need air!" But the female corpse is dead, so why do you need air? That will only speed up the decay of the female corpse, right? ”
"Do you see that woman's corpse rotting?" Little Pony Road.
I thought, hey! Really! The female corpse's body showed no signs of decay except for the exaggerated swelling of the embalming fluid. Then I don't understand, "It's not rotten, why is that?" ”
Brother Pony pointed to the mural and said, "Look at what this depiction is." ”
"Beauty in the mirror?" I said.
Brother Xiao Ma sneered again, "If you are still not convinced, you haven't thought that this is a mythical story?" ”
Myths? I took a closer look and carefully recalled all the myths and stories I knew, and there were no such myths and stories in the mirror! Wait, there seems to be one - Snow White! Isn't the vicious queen mother in it just asking the mirror all day long who is the most beautiful person in the world?
Bah! I'm thinking about it again. That's foreign, right? And it's the story of modern creation. How could a foreign story created in modern times run away to ancient China? Moreover, the story is a fairy tale, not a myth, right? After thinking about it, I didn't expect it, so I asked, "What is it?" ”
Little Brother Ma looked at me and shook his head, looking like rotten wood could not be carved. He said: "Chang'e to the moon!" ”
I rub! I suddenly woke up, and it really was! I just had a preconceived fantasy that the woman had a mirror above her head, and if I wanted a full moon, I would have thought of it. But at first glance, it's not right. "Don't bluff me, if it's Chang'e running to the moon, then at least it's clouds under your feet, right? This woman's foot is a pot lid! Then don't say it's not! ”
Brother Pony frowned, "That's what I can't figure out, your third child just pressed the thing under this woman's feet to fall." He pointed to the relief of the lid of the pot.
I said, "Why does this relief look like it's sunk into the stone wall?" "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, maybe the grave builder did it on purpose, just to make you press it down and fall into the passage. What do you care she does! By the way, what does this mural have to do with the female corpse that doesn't decay? I said.
"What this mural wants to express is definitely a picture of Chang'e running to the moon, but what is under her feet is not a cloud, but "Brother Xiao Ma didn't seem to be able to find an adjective, so he had to continue: "But it's a pot lid!" I don't understand that. However, what does Chang'e want to express when she goes to the moon? ”
"You ask me? Isn't Chang'e running to the moon that her husband begged for an elixir from the Queen Mother of the West, and then Chang'e didn't eat it, so she wanted to taste it, but she didn't expect to eat it, hey! It tasted so good that I ate it alone. After that, he flew and flew towards the moon, expressing an immortality! I said.
Brother Xiao Ma seemed to have a headache with my explanation, "The explanation was very casual, but it did not deviate from the topic." The female corpse was poured by the air without rotting, and the corpse that would not have been raised was also raised, and the two things added up to the mural that did not match the tomb owner, there is only one explanation! Little Brother Ma looked at me and said.
"What?" This little pony has lost my appetite again. It's annoying!
"The Living Dead!" Little Brother Ma affirmed.
