Xiangxi Suspicious Tomb Chapter 5 Fighting the Golden Whip of God (4)
"That's what I thought, too. Lin Fang has been hiding the ultimate purpose of this trip from us, and our ......-shirley Yang pressed one hand on the top of the coffin, and then glanced back at Professor Li, "I always feel that he didn't tell the truth, and we have been following his direction all along." It's better to seize the opportunity at hand...... - she tapped the coffin board, and the meaning was self-evident.
In my mind, it is not that these eighteen coffins cannot be opened, but it is not certain that they are not capable of dealing with emergencies that may arise after the coffin is opened. Seeing that the two of us didn't speak, the fat man limped forward: "What's so greasy in the tomb, why are you two stupid?" He swaggered to the coffin displayed in the center, patted it with his hand and said: "Commander Hu, it's not me talking about you, you have been hesitant to do things like a girl these days." How happy we used to be, what do we say? Isn't it just a row of dead people's coffins, let's open it if we want, taboo fart! Come, hand me the shovel, and let me come and fire the first shot in triumph. ”
Professor Li was originally studying Yugui on the wall, and when he heard that we were going to open the museum, he immediately jumped into a rage, shouting that he couldn't help it, and ran towards a few of us while scolding. Probably because of his excitement, he shook his feet and fell directly at the foot of the coffin on the very edge. I wanted to step forward to help him, but Professor Li stretched out a hand in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't come here, coffin, the coffin is moving." ”
As if to confirm his words, the coffin on the ground suddenly shook violently, followed by the familiar gnawing sound, creaking, as if someone was scraping wood with his teeth. Professor Li threw himself on the coffin board, his limbs tightly clasped on the coffin surface, trying to stop the shaking in the coffin. I lunged forward and pressed all my weight down to prevent the coffin from opening and closing.
"I can't stand it, copy the guy." The force in the coffin was so great that Professor Li and I were jacked up and knocked down several times, and the ribs in our chest were almost broken. Professor Li's glasses had already shattered in the violent shaking, and he closed his eyes tightly at the moment, clutching the coffin like a dead fish and refusing to let go. Several nails on my hands had been almost completely turned over, and the pain in my heart was filled with anger. The fat man and Shirley Yang had already been on the side, and I saw the right time, pulled Professor Li and rolled out. I didn't have time to check on Professor Li's condition, so as soon as I landed, I got up on my hands and feet and rushed to the edge of the coffin. The wooden coffin fell tilted in the center of the tomb at this moment, and the surface of the coffin had cracked a large crack, and I don't know if it was smashed when it fell or because the things inside the coffin were too strong and slammed out.
The thing struggled in the coffin, letting out a shrill howl similar to that of a beast when it was injured. I frowned and rushed forward and shouted, "The first strike is strong, I'll open the lid of the coffin, you don't care about anything, take a picture of death." ”
I jumped to the back of the coffin, grabbed the shovel with both hands and thrust it into the gap in the lid, but the coffin was so hard that my whole hand was numb, and I thought to myself, "Is this coffin filled with cement, otherwise how could it be so strong." Seeing that the thing was about to break out of the coffin, I hurriedly pressed my foot against the back of the coffin, and with a clench of my arms, I broke a big hole in the lid. Shirley Yang and the fat man set up a posture, just waiting for the murderous thing in the coffin to appear. But with a heart-rending scream, the entire coffin stopped shaking. I was stunned for a long time, thinking to myself, could it be that my stick just now had an effect? But when I think about it, how can black-skinned zongzi be so fragile.
The four of us froze in place for a long time, fearing that it would come back to life. But half a day passed, and the cracked coffin no longer made any sound, as if it had been in this posture for thousands of years.
After calming down, I realized that most of the nails on my right thumb and middle finger had been knocked off, and the bright red flesh was exposed to the air, and the pain made my whole hand tremble slightly. However, the potential threat had not been ruled out at the moment, and I did not bother to treat the wound, so without saying a word, I first went around from the side to check the situation in the coffin, and as soon as I stepped forward, I was choked by the terrible stench of the coffin and coughed incessantly. Shirley Yang dipped a strip of cloth in water and handed it to me, and Professor Li, who was lying on his side in shock, crawled over curiously, his glasses had long since disappeared, and he could only squint his eyes in front of the coffin.
I broke the lid of the broken coffin and held the flashlight high, revealing a flat and cracked human face with nothing in its eye sockets, and Professor Li shrank back as if he had been electrocuted. I asked Shirley Yang to turn the light on, and it was not a real human face, but a carved Yugui mask.
I hesitated, and pulled the mask with my bloodied right hand, trying to see what kind of corpse was hidden beneath Tamyu. Shirley Young stopped me and said, "People are bloody, so I'll do it." As soon as I thought it made sense, I took a step to the side and asked Shirley Yang to unravel the true face of the ancient corpse.
The fat man and Professor Li both gathered in front of the coffin, one covering his nose with his collar and the other covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and the three of us waited with bated breath for the final answer.
Shirley Yang took a deep breath and put his arm into the cracked hole, and I pinched a handful of sweat on the side, for fear that the corpse would jump up and flutter again. Her hand hung in the coffin for a long time and did not move, and the fat man urged: "Staff Officer Yang can't hesitate any longer, hurry up, victory is calling us." ”
Shirley Yang frowned, stretched out one hand in the coffin, and held a flashlight in the other hand and said, "I seem to have touched something." ”
"Mingqi?"
"No, the shape is kind of similar, kind of like ...... Box guns. She moved her arm, and at once pulled out a black object from the coffin, and I fixed my eyes to see that it was really a loaded box.
A few of us were dumbfounded, I waved everyone back, and then kicked open the coffin door, and the already broken coffin board fell apart at once, and a corpse in gray overalls rolled to my feet.
"This is the clothes of the archaeological team." Professor Li's face changed suddenly, and he rushed to the corpse and lifted his mask. A gray, distorted face suddenly appeared in front of us. The corpse had multiple contusions on its face, the corners of its mouth were covered in coagulated blood, and its jaw was wide open at an uncanny angle. I cautiously poked my fingers into the corpse's mouth, and sure enough, I came across a pinch of hard object.
Professor Li asked, "Is there something in there?" ”
I nodded, and with a hard pull, pulled out half of the barbed wood. Shirley Young examined the corpse's throat and abdomen, and found that it was as swollen as Xiao Qian had been found in the grave.
"Probably another missing archaeological team." Shirley Yang asked Professor Li if he knew him. Professor Li pushed his cracked glasses, and said a little wolfly: "Like you, I just joined the team yesterday, and I am not familiar with the people in the archaeological team. Besides, this person looks like this now, even if it's an old acquaintance, he can't tell the difference! ”
The sudden appearance of the corpse in front of us shattered our hope of finding survivors, and we were afraid that Captain Jiang would be sad again after knowing about it.
"Why did you say that this guy got into the coffin in a good manner, did you say he just died, or why did he toss so badly in the coffin?"
"No, the blood on his body has long since coagulated, not like a newly dead corpse. Besides, if it was really a living person, why didn't he call for help when he heard us come in? What's more, his stomach was so swollen that it almost exploded, and he didn't know how much wood he swallowed alive. Shirley Young pointed to the bottom of the coffin and said, "I guess the wood in their mouths was gnawed off the coffin, and you come to see this bottom plate." ”
I looked over and saw that the inside of the coffin was stained with blood, especially the wood in the corners of the coffin where the head was close to the body, and it was covered with tooth marks.
The fat man shook his head and said, "This is crazy, right?" Why do you want to bite if you have hands and feet! Besides, doesn't he have Yugui on his face? As he spoke, he suddenly shook his whole body, and then waved his hand again, "Don't worry, it's just dizzy." Shirley Young examined his wound and found that the bandage had long been soaked in blood. She analyzed while changing the bandages for the fat man: "I'm afraid these two people have filled their stomachs of coffin wood before entering the coffin, but I don't know what happened to them, and the way they died was so terrifying." ”
"People are already dead, and no amount of speculation will help." I sighed, the people I was looking for were all dead, the fat man and I were also injured, and if we continue to make trouble like this, I'm afraid everyone will be in danger, so I have made up my mind, "Collect the bodies of the two of them first, and we'll go back and report to the team." ”
"What about Lin Fang?" The fat man still didn't worry about Lin Fang, who was kidnapped, "No matter what she said, she was arrested for me, and Old Man Wang is not a thing......-
"Lin Fang is a backstage person, Wang Puyuan doesn't look at the monk's face but also the Buddha's face, it is estimated that she will not be too embarrassed. What's more, since he arrested people, it means that Lin Fang is of use to him, at least for the time being, his life will not be in danger. It's you, who have such a big hole in your brain, and if you don't go back and sew it up, I'm afraid you'll leave sequelae. ”
The fat man still wanted to argue, but was sternly refuted by me and Shirley Yang Yizheng. Professor Li was also in a hurry to go back to the camp to lay out the next plan, and the four of us helped each other out of the eighteen coffin burial chamber. But when I walked to the entrance of the tomb, I heard the crackling sound of firecrackers in the distance.
I was shocked, it was gunshots, there was a firefight in front of me!
