Chapter 113, Black Cloth for Face Covering
After listening to my words, Jiao Ba was obviously in a lot of energy, "Brother Yi, what's going on over there?" ”
"Let's go back and talk about this, I can't say a word or two, how about it? Can you still walk? "I helped Jiao Ba up, his body was still a little shaky, it seems that he didn't hit him lightly.
Jiao Ba grinned and said, "It's okay, a little injury, it's not in the way, what is this?" Coffin? Jiao Ba looked at the coffin in front of him, and his face became ugly.
"What are you fussing about, it's not like you haven't seen it." I'm going to help him get out of here first.
Jiao Ba waved his hand to stop me, "When did this thing come here, I remember it wasn't on the bow deck?" He looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I looked at him and said, "How do I know, I know it's the same thing in my dream." ”
"In a dream? What in a dream? Jiao Ba didn't understand a little.
"Oh, okay, let's go back and talk about it, we have to find Junko?" I tugged at his arm, trying to go back and see if Junko had returned.
"Looking for a straight? What happened to Junko? Jiao Ba frowned and asked me.
I sighed and said, "Hey~ Junko suddenly disappeared again, this matter is a bit complicated, let's go back and talk about it first." ”
Jiao Ba stared at the coffin and said, "Wait for Brother Yi, let me take a look at this coffin first." ”
Jiao Ba looked around his body, "Oops, where is my flashlight?" ”
I was a little anxious and said, "If you can't find it, forget it, use a lighter." ”
He took out a lighter from his pocket, and by the faint light of the fire, he began to look around the coffin little by little.
Under the light of the lighter, the coffin looked even more eerie, making people tremble when they looked at it, and I even inexplicably felt a cold air flowing, which made me shiver coldly.
"The coffin has been opened." Jiao Batou said this without replying.
"What? Someone opened it? I hurried over to check with him.
"Brother Yi, look here, the nails around here have been opened, and it is obvious that the coffin has been opened." Jiao Ba stretched out his hand and pointed around the coffin.
I took a closer look, and it was true, the nails around the coffin had been lifted, because the lid of the coffin was relatively intact, and it would never be obvious if you didn't look closely.
"It looks like someone has already done it first, who do you think will do this?" I turned my head to look at Jiao Ba and asked.
Jiao Ba shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know very well, but I guess it's the man in black before, don't you forget, isn't our plan this time just to catch him, it's just that the plan failed." ”
I pondered what had happened tonight, and I thought of one thing, took a deep breath and said, "Let's open the coffin and see what's inside." ”
Jiao Ba said with an unspeakable expression, "Brother Yi, this is not good, it is filled with demon insect corpses, once we wake up, it will be difficult for both of us to get out alive." ”
I glared at him and said, "Nonsense, I said open it, if I don't open this coffin, how will we know if the man in black did it." ”
Jiao Ba's eyes rolled, and he said with an evil smile, "Oh~~ I understand what you mean, Brother Yi, okay, then let's open it." ”
When the two of us were about to make a move, Jiao Ba hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, Brother Yi, have you thought about it, what if you don't have that spell?" Then we're done playing, and this thing can kill us both in an instant. ”
What Jiao Ba said is not unreasonable, the reason why I opened the coffin was to see what was contained in addition to the demon insect corpse, and the second was to verify my judgment.
If there is a charm on the corpse, it proves that it is the coffin opened by the man in black, otherwise, if there is none, then I don't know who it is, but the price of not having a charm is also very large, and there is definitely a danger to life.
I pondered for a moment and said, "Take a gamble, life and death are impermanent, and each one will have his own destiny." ”
Jiao Bayi gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, fight, then let's open it." ”
One of us took one side, he stood at the end, I stood at the head, and after holding the coffin lid, I shouted softly, "Push"
I used all my strength to push the coffin lid, Jiao Ba was even more tired and almost shouted, this coffin lid was very heavy, dead and sinking, almost as heavy as the coffin we salvaged from the Qing Dynasty shipwreck before.
The lid of the coffin was being removed little by little, and I looked down and could already see the arms of the corpses inside, "No, no, no, I can't push it." Jiao Ba turned over and sat on the ground, gasping for breath in his mouth.
"Damn, it's not going to work like this? You're still a grave robber, damn it. I let go of my grip on the coffin and turned to scold him.
Jiao Ba said weakly, "Big brother, I am an injured person, I only woke up in a coma, how can I have so much strength, you allow me to rest for a while, and it will be fine immediately." ”
I had no choice, I could only wait for Jiao Ba to relieve his strength, and a few minutes later, I stepped forward and kicked them both and said, "Hey Lao Ba, are you okay?" ”
Jiao Ba didn't speak, just waved his hand at me, "Hurry up if it's okay, don't pretend to be dead here." ”
Jiao Ba reluctantly got up, the two of us continued to push the coffin lid, and after a loud 'bang', the coffin was finally opened, and I was so tired that I almost collapsed.
But Jiao Ba was in a terrible state of mind this time, he pulled me back a few steps, his eyes stared at the coffin, I was just about to speak, he immediately interrupted me, "Don't talk yet, wait patiently for a while." ”
The two of us stared at the coffin for a few minutes, and didn't see anything happening, Jiao Ba then beckoned me to go over and have a look, the two of us walked to the side of the coffin, and by the moonlight outside the window, I saw a person lying inside, but I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.
Jiao Ba lit the lighter and looked down from the top of his head, it was very strange that the head of the corpse inside was actually covered with a black cloth, covering the entire face, and he couldn't see what it looked like at all, what does this mean?
I asked softly, "Old man, why is there a cloth on this corpse?" ”
"Shh The lighter in Jiao Ba's hand went down his head little by little.
Under the position of the neck, I saw a small piece of yellow paper, with a red mark painted on it, which was exactly the same as the charm of the female corpse of the coffin before, which is enough to prove that the person who opened the coffin was the cat-eyed man in black, which also verified what Jiao Ba said, this is indeed a demon insect corpse.
"Look, there is a spell, it seems that the man in black did it." I was a little excited, and I don't know why I was so excited.
Jiao Ba 'En' sighed, didn't speak again, a pair of thief eyes rolled around, swept every corner of the coffin, and the corpse was covered with a layer of quilt, but this quilt could no longer be seen to be good or bad, almost all rotted.
Jiao Bayi threw away the quilt on the corpse, so that the entire corpse was exposed in front of us, and by the light of the fire, I also looked at it carefully.
The clothes worn by this person are very ornate, also gold and satin, and I can see at a glance that this is a typical Ming Dynasty costume, and it is still women's clothing, from which it can be concluded that this body is also a woman, her clothes are not damaged in any way, and they are still very well preserved.
The woman was lying flat in the coffin, her right hand was flat on her abdomen, she was wearing a jade bracelet on her wrist, and her left hand was placed under her right hand in the shape of a fist, and the skin of her two hands was still intact, and her complexion still looked very shiny, almost no different from a living person.
I really start to admire the people who make the corpses of demon insects, they can make the dead so intact, even if today's technology is so advanced, they can't achieve this effect.
The female corpse wore a pair of high-quality Ming Dynasty women's shoes at her feet, which were the kind of women's high heels exclusive to the Ming Dynasty, but in addition to these things on her body, no other burial goods were found in the coffin.
"Wouldn't it, nothing?" I glanced at Jiao Ba.
He reached out and rummaged around again, but still found nothing, "Well, it's true that there's nothing left, but this black cloth is quite strange, it seems that the man in black left it on purpose." Jiao Ba was talking about the black cloth on the face of the female corpse.
"Stayed? He's sick, what are you doing with a rag. "I also wondered, why did he cover the face of this female corpse, is it because this female corpse is too inviolated?
Jiao Ba glanced at me and said, "Let's take it down and see." ”
After he finished speaking, my heart was a little fluttering, and I always felt that something was right, but I couldn't say what was wrong, but I still said stiffly, "Take it, who is he scaring about?" ”
I went up and took the black cloth off, but when I saw the face of the woman, I screamed in fright and almost fell to the ground, "Oh my mother, how could it be her." ”
