Chapter 11: Black Clay Jar

To burn the snake, the remains must be completely buried in order to comply with the quarantine and disinfection regulations, and only then can I be completely reassured. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But just as I was shoveling up the snake corpse with a sapper shovel and preparing to bury it, I accidentally ran into something hard and brittle between the snake bones.

The foreign body sensation of the shovel in my hand was very noticeable, and it was different from the hardness of the snake's bones.

I crouched down vigilantly and used the tip of my shovel to pull the foreign object out of the serpent's charred corpse.

It was a black pottery urn, not burned by the flames, and there were many holes of different sizes up and down the urn, but the holes had been filled with carbonized snake flesh tissue, and there was nothing to see inside.

When I took a look, I immediately realized that this was clearly the same thing as the black pottery "sieve urn" that Hyun Momiji found from the "dead man's shell"!

And unlike the previous empty jars, this "sieve urn" has cracked a gap in the middle of the black pottery because of my shovel, and an unknown liquid is seeping out.

I stared at the glue-like viscous liquid, and suddenly realized that there was "goods" in this thing, which made me feel a little nervous and excited.

I feel that this urn is the same as those in human corpses, obviously it was also a human body before, and I don't know how long ago, it happened to be devoured by this golden-scaled serpent, so that it can be completely preserved until now.

The most important thing is that the sieve urn was "a blessing in disguise" after being swallowed by the snake, and it was not calcified by stalactites, nor was it corroded by water vapor, and judging from the liquid it flowed out, it was not possible to keep what it had previously contained from the loss and disappearance of time and time.

Faced with such a major discovery, my heart throbbed, and I hurriedly shoveled up the "sieve urn" with a shovel to put Xian Hongye, and Lin Shaosong called all the people over.

After the personnel arrived, I raised the shovel in my hand and explained the origin of this thing to everyone, and finally asked Xian Hongye and said, "What are you going to do when you look at it?" Do you open it first, or do you burn it or bury it? ”

Xian Hongye is a very cautious person, but she has been engaged in literature and history, and she has a natural sensitivity to antiquities, and most importantly, the "antique" in front of her can be called an important clue, which can make up for the shortcomings of the previous four jars. Perhaps it also gives us an idea of what the "Helambers" did with them hundreds of years ago.

With this expectation, Hyun Hongye asked me to put this "glue" pottery urn in a glass jar for collecting specimens, and then personally put on gloves, splash-proof eyes and respirators, and was fully armed like a cyborg, before I began to examine this new discovery.

Following the crack I smashed with a shovel, Hyun Hongye first used tweezers to pull away this strange near-jujube core-type pottery little by little, and every time she peeled off a little, the jelly-like gelatinous material was exposed, because it had been grilled by the fire, and the whole gelatinous mass was still steaming, like glutinous rice balls that had just come out of the pot.

As the red leaves peeled off the black pottery altar piece by piece, the "glutinous rice balls" on the side gradually leaked out. And with the whole "out of the shell" of that thing, to put it bluntly...... That thing almost disgusted all of us here.

The "glue" that Hyun Hongye took out of the "sieve urn" with tweezers is the size of a baby's hand, more like some kind of transparent creature similar to a jellyfish, and it also has a white core the size of a thumb belly, which looks like a milk lychee as a whole, but if you look closely, you can still see in the milky white "lychee meat" that the blood vessels are as good as the white lines.

I looked at the "monster" in the black clay pot, and I felt sick and curious at the same time.

The things in the sieve urn hundreds of years ago were strangely shaped and like a sarcoma, and they were not "original" anymore. The most disgusting thing is that it is still a living thing, which is completely unexpected. I can't even understand what the discovery of this "monster" means.

After watching it for a long time, Xian Hongye shook his head at us and said, "I can't see what this is?" Which of you is great, give long eyes. ”

I walked over and looked at the "corpse" of the thing, and reluctantly suggested: "This thing has blood vessels and nuclei, obviously a living thing, let's cut it open and see, maybe we will know what it is." ”

"Cut the ......" Hyun Hongye twisted his eyebrows for a while, then handed me the tweezers and gloves and said, "Chef Tian, you are here!" ”

"Me?"

"It's not you or who!" Xian Hongye was not very happy and said: "Of all the people, only you, the cook, have experience in unshaving, who will come if you don't come?" You can't let a cat or a dog do these things! ”

Xian Hongye's words made me feel a lot of pressure and made me feel wronged.

To be honest, I'm a cook, and I've "solved" pigs, beef and mutton, but I've never touched such a disgusting "monster", so I can't let me do such a disgusting thing just because I'm a cook.

But what people said did have some truth, because I really didn't worry about letting the Thai brothers make this thing, these two dared to eat anything, and loved to eat it raw, so they ate the contents of the "sieve urn" casually.

In desperation, I sighed, put Xian Hongye's set of "three defenses" tools on myself in turn, and then took out the dagger I carried with me, ready to have a "Cu Ding to solve the monster".

I didn't have a scalpel or a kitchen knife, and after thinking about it, I took the dagger out again, using it as an unanatomizing instrument, but it always felt awkward.

After adjusting my mentality a little, I lightly inserted the dagger into the flesh of the "lychee", cut more along the veins, and instantly flowed out of the "rubber shell" a stream of water and heat.

Looking at the hot water, I suddenly realized that although this thing escaped the protection of the "sieve urn", it was basically "steamed" under the action of the heat, and although I was separated by a gas mask, I could still smell a faint fragrance.

It's like...... Some kind of precious aquatic product.

After the little lychee-like "monster" was blistered, it quickly revealed a white "soil", which was a spherical insect with a strange appearance, with a hard white hard shell, and four eyes.

Looking at the four-eyed spherical monster, I immediately slapped my head and shouted, "I know! This thing is called a 'carp monster', and it's a parasite that can be eaten! ”

Except for me, none of the people present understood what this "monster" was, so they shook their heads.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, I immediately took action, asked Hyun Hongye for tweezers, separated the strange insects that formed a "circle" from the middle, and said to everyone: "As I guessed, this round one is not one insect, it should be two!" ”

With my words, the round worm turned into two beetles, each in a semicircle, and the two worms were together, a bit like a turtle clasped together. After separation, it is more like the ubiquitous beetle "rat woman".

The true identity of this "carp monster" was revealed.
