The South China Sea Returns to the Ruins Chapter 40

Duo Ling and Gu Chai both nodded gloomily, and Gu Chai said to me: "Boss Hu, I believe you, Senior Sister and Master fell into the sea, you save them, it's so dangerous, I haven't blinked my eyes, I've never seen a person like you." ”

I heard him mention that I rescued Ruan Hei and Duoling when the sea was sinking, and it turned out that he helped us salvage the "King Qin Bone Mirror" in the sunken ship, because he wanted to be grateful. I was in a mess at the moment, and I didn't want to take credit for this matter, so I immediately asked him and Duo Ling to prepare to tidy up for Ruan Hei, and then find a clam shell to bury.

Duo Ling took Gu Chai to unwrap the white cloth that wrapped Ruan Hei, wiped the remaining blood stains on his face with water, and then re-wrapped the body according to their customs. Most of the people in Nanyang believe in Buddhism, and the two of them put their hands together and prayed for the deceased to wish him an early Buddha. As soon as I thought of relying on each other for my life, the master Ruan Hei, who treated them like his own father, died, and there would be no day when we would see each other in the years to come, and the most painful thing in the world was life and death, I couldn't help but burst into tears again, and cried for a long time, and under the bloody sky above my head, I sang a song that Ruan Hei always hummed on the boat before his death, and the song was sad and sad, and others wanted to cry when they heard it.

Shirley Yang and I were digging mussel shells with our hands, and when we heard this sad song, although we couldn't understand what we were singing, we seemed to feel something in our hearts, and we couldn't help but stop and listen. Only Uncle Ming understood the meaning of the words in this song, he sighed, and whispered to us: "The egg boys are singing the tune of the egg pickers in ancient times - my god, save my bitter man, I am not afraid of blood and sweat, but I am afraid that I will not be able to return home......"

After singing a bitter song, Duo Ling and Gu Chai cried for a long time before they could put away the master's body. Ruan Hei has nothing, no inheritance, only a priceless "Zhuyan Pearl" in his mouth, he has been poor all his life, and after his death, he enjoyed the luxurious treatment that only the emperor and general have, and the pearl was half a life, and finally buried in the green snail clam armor, the clam armor is the "dragon residence" among the egg people, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

But we searched for a long time among the mussel shells piled up on a hill, and we didn't find a mussel shell that was complete and huge enough to be used as a coffin. In this courtyard surrounded by four walls, you can see the carved murals of the ancients slaughtering mussels and pearls everywhere, and there are thousands of empty shells of snail mussels, which must have been a place for scraping mussels. We once caught a "clam clam at sea", its mussel shell is as crystal as snow, staggered and closed like two shells like teeth, like a solid armor around, there is no gap to throw, if you can find a nail similar to a "man-eating mussel", that is the most suitable spiritual object for a coffin.

I didn't give up, peeled off the top layer of mussel shells, wanted to see if there were man-eating mussels buried in the depths, but unexpectedly opened a few layers of mussel shells, inside actually exposed a large copper plate, stroking off the fine crushed mussel shells and sediment, the copper body has been soaked in seawater for a long time, but the surface of the copper plate is red stains, you can see carved with many naked ** female figures, its form is frolicking and swimming in the sea, the posture is enchanting.

We didn't expect to dig up such a thing, and for a moment we didn't know what this beautiful steel plate was, and why it was buried in a pile of mussel shells. There are two copper rings on the steel plate, it seems that this is a lid that can be removed, I want to say that this is probably a coffin with a corpse in the mouth, but after thinking about it, I feel that this pattern and shape are not like it, how can there be a copper ring cast on the coffin lid? So the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, because he didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to open the copper plate without authorization, and made a gesture to the fat man, and the two continued to clear the remains of the snail mussels around.

The fat man dug up the snail armor around it, exposing it as a whole, and it turned out that there was a green snail carapace as big as a water tank, and the snail mouth was sealed by a copper plate. Looking at the texture on the snail armor, a woman is naturally formed, with complete clothing patterns, fingers on her hands, umbilicus on her abdomen, and beautiful eyebrows, all of which are cool like living people. It is often heard that there is a naturally generated Arhat Guanyin statue in the mussel, and today I saw it with my own eyes, the shell water pattern is like a woman, and it is also a strange thing in the sea.

I asked Uncle Ming to come over and take a look, and he didn't know what the snail shell sealed by the copper plate was for, guessing that it was a snail coffin made by the ancient Hate Tian clan. I have heard of mussel coffins before, and there was indeed this kind of burial custom in ancient times, but most of them used mussels, instead of old snail green armor as thick as a rice jar. Most of the people buried in the clam coffin are fishermen, and all of them are men who have not found a wife, this rare and strange custom is probably because they want to marry with the clam essence.

The fat man said: "Then it must be right, otherwise how could there be so many women on this copper cover, and there is also a natural beauty figure on the snail armor." The person in this snail coffin must be a pervert, and it is not enough to marry a daughter-in-law, look at how many he is going to do after the death of this formation? As he spoke, he went to count the number of women, but he couldn't count them for a long time.

Uncle Ming heard us say that this may be a rare snail coffin, and if there is a coffin, there will be a Ming vessel, how can you not be tempted? Immediately resorted to the agitation method, and jumped at me and the fat man and said: "How can the dirty custom of marrying with mussels in the countryside have anything to do with this snail shell coffin?" I don't think this green snail is a mortal thing, the corpse in the coffin may not be a pervert, anyway, he has been dead for thousands of years, what kind of character did he have during his lifetime, how can our descendants tell the difference? ”

After the fat man heard this, he said with a toothy flower: "Hey, let me explain uncle, why don't you still believe in the fat man's eyes?" If the zongzi in the coffin has beads in its mouth, the corpse must not have rotted yet, if you don't believe it, let's make a bet, I said it must be a pervert, otherwise why would such a hooligan make so many women on the coffin lid? The womanizer is vigorous, and the hair on his feet is black and long, which is a good proof. ”

I thought to myself that the hairs on the legs and feet of people who swim often are indeed more developed, and the hairs on the feet of those who once lived in the "Coral Spiral" sea are naturally thick. The snail armor is impermeable, and for the nobles who hate the heavens, it is not a big deal to have a bead after death, maybe they have all their eyebrows, and even the hair on their bodies can be retained to this day. The fat man is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he bets on whether there is hair on the feet of the dead man in the coffin, not only ingenious, but also has taken seventy percent of the winning side, if the corpse is decomposed, then at most he will bet on a tie with Uncle Ming.

The fat man provoked Uncle Ming with his words again, Uncle Ming couldn't help but be angry, gritted his teeth and gambled with him to see if this ancient corpse in the snail was a pervert. Buy and leave, the fat man's bet is the gold watch he fished, Uncle Ming has nothing valuable on his body after he goes bankrupt, so he has to bet on a Nanzhu that was given to him.
