Chapter 495: The Secret of Human Skin
From the cave came a heart-rending scream, from far and near, and from near and far, sharp and hoarse, as if in pain, and the screams became more and more intense.
Crazy Six waved his hand to everyone, signaling everyone to stand farther away, we just took two steps back, and suddenly something jumped out of the hole, Xiao Lei's reaction speed was the fastest, and before we could see it clearly, I saw him fly up and kick the thing to the ground.
Everyone looked at it closely, only to realize that the thing that jumped up was human skin.
This human skin was kicked hard by Xiao Lei, and it was already burned by that medicine, so it collapsed on the ground softly, slowly squirming, obviously it wanted to get up, but it had no strength.
It was the first time for everyone to observe human skins at such a close distance, including Old Man Yuan, who used to stand under the tree at most, looking at the human skins hanging on the treetops from a distance.
This human skin, maybe it is the one I saw last night, because it was also wearing a black robe, but this tattered robe had long been tattered, and all kinds of stains had piled up layer by layer, the original color of the robe was no longer visible, and a foul sour smell emanated from the human skin, which made us gag for a while, and we could not see the human skin's face yet, because its dirty, sticky hair covered its face completely.
But from the bare part, we can still see the skin of the human skin.
The skin of the human skin is covered with speckled protrusions, as if it is the skin of a toad, and in some places there is slimy juice, which makes people disgusting to look at.
It lay on the ground, like a pile of torn clothes, but it slowly squirmed and let out a strange moaning sound, which was very eerie.
We all covered our noses, took a few steps back, and looked at the human skin with disgust and horror, but Xiao Lei picked up a branch from the side, walked over, and used the branch to brush away the dirty hair of the human skin, he wanted to see the human skin's face.
Although a few of us were a little curious, we didn't have Xiao Lei's courage, so we could only stand and watch from a distance.
Although I didn't see the appearance of the human skin, I saw Xiao Lei's brows furrowed, so we know that the face of the human skin should be very terrifying and disgusting, otherwise Xiao Lei would not have this expression.
At this time, my cousin, the madman Six, also surrounded him and carefully observed the human skinned face.
After looking at it for a while, Xiao Lei turned his head and said to Hongmei: "Give me the camera, I want to take a photo, this kind of monster should have high research value." β
Mr. Chen, who was on the side, also hurriedly said: "Yes, it is best to bring this human skin back, the staff of our unit will come to send supplies the day after tomorrow, and when they come, I will ask them to contact the relevant scientific research units quickly, the scientific research value of this human skin is indeed immeasurable." β
Mr. Chen is right, a human skin can survive, this is incredible! There must be hidden secrets, and the analysis of these secrets may lead to a breakthrough in scientific research.
But then, the unexpected happened.
When Hongmei took out her camera, covered her nose, and just wanted to walk over, suddenly, we felt that there was a huge "dark cloud" overhead, and that kind of "dark cloud" was a bit obscuring the sky, we immediately looked up and couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that it was that kind of giant bird appeared again!
This kind of giant bird is the kind that has no claws and only a suction cup, and the disappearance of Xiao Lei and Hongmei is because they were sucked up by this giant bird with a suction cup.
I only heard it scream and swooped down on us, because its volume was too big, so we panicked, Xiao Lei shouted: "Hide here", before the words fell, he hid under a boulder next to him at a very fast speed, and we also hurriedly dodged over.
And the 'Phoenix Empress' next to her, screamed, fearlessly rushed towards the giant bird, and I don't know why, although the giant bird is so huge, but when she sees the 'Phoenix Empress', she is very scared, after a hover, she turns around and flies into the distance, which looks very hasty, but because of its body, it is too huge, and when flying, the surrounding air flow is also very strong, and the 'Phoenix Empress' can't get close to it for a while.
At this moment, the human skin on the ground stood up suddenly, stood up from the ground, and slammed into the hole again, although it stumbled, but the speed was extremely fast, this qiΔ, all happened in just a few seconds, because our attention was attracted by the giant bird, and we didn't expect that the human skin actually had such a hand.
The giant bird soon disappeared, and the 'Phoenix Empress' flew back unharmed, but the human skin was already our "bag", but we didn't expect it to flee again.
We suspect that the reason why the giant bird suddenly appeared is most likely to save the human skin, and this qiΔ, someone must be behind the scenes, so who could it be?
Needless to say, we all thought of the high blind almost at the same time.
Regardless of whether it is really him or not, it can be concluded that there must be a very important secret hidden on that human skin, and for this kind of secret, the person who manipulates this qiΔ behind the scenes seems to be very afraid that we will know.
When we came out to look at it again, we found that the hole had disappeared again.
"It's not a big deal, senior, wouldn't it be better if you used the same method to force that human skin out, anyway, this bird is also there, and there is still a pot of Mr. Yuan's medicine?"
Sister Li seems to think it's not a big deal.
And the madman six smiled bitterly, shook his head again and again, and said: "It's no longer good, you see, in the place where the hole appeared, a piece has been concave, which means that the hole has been permanently sealed, and it will never open and close automatically in the future." β
We hurriedly walked over to look, and sure enough, as Madman Six said, in the place where the hole originally appeared, it was concave, and the shape of the concave was almost exactly the same as the shape of the hole.
Old man Yuan seemed to want to try, so he asked the 'Phoenix Empress' to scream again, but after screaming for a long time, it still had no effect, and finally had to stop.
Madman Six stared at the entrance of the cave, looked at it for a while, and then sighed long and said, "I think these are all done by the blind man." After the blind man got the manuscript on Inoue, he must have mastered the essence of the meridians, and applied these to the meridians of this mountain, I said before that the meridians of this mountain are actually very similar to the meridians of people, and the trick I used just now is to use a special method to seal the mountain's 'acupuncture points', so that this 'acupuncture points' will never be opened again. β
After listening to it, we realized what was going on, and we couldn't help but feel a little sorry that the human skin was caught by us, but at this critical moment, we let it escape.
Looking at the time, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and we hadn't eaten yet, all of us were hungry, and as soon as our spirits relaxed, we all felt a little tired.
Everyone returned to Old Man Yuan's house, Hongmei, Kenya, and Sister Li made a big pot of noodles, and also used wild vegetables in the mountains to make delicious marinade, although the food was simple, but everyone ate very fragrant.
But Old Man Yuan ate very little, because he had to drink two large bowls of decoction in order to expel urine and give it to Xuanheng and a few of them to drink, which made me feel a little disgusting, but the madman Liu said that in fact, human urine is also a medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, and there are relevant records in the "Compendium of Materia Medica".
When everyone finished eating and chatted around the stone table in the courtyard, my cousin was alone in the courtyard, walking around with his hands behind his back, and we didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that it was his habit - he liked to get up and walk after dinner.
But after a while, my cousin slowly sat down at the stone table and said something that shocked us all: "Actually, I found another reason why the two human skins were hanging thereβand perhaps the most important reason. β
After hearing this, Madman Six was immediately stunned and said, "Those two human skins are hanging there, is there any other reason besides the reason I analyzed?" β
The cousin nodded, pointed to the big tree and asked Old Man Yuan, "Old Mr. Yuan, did you pour all the residues of the decoction there?" β
Old man Yuan nodded in surprise, he obviously didn't understand why his cousin asked this question: "Yes, for decades, I have poured the medicinal residue there, you see, there is a lot of it, and that kind of medicinal residue will not stink, but will emit a faint fragrance, similar to the smell emitted when boiling the decoction." β
Before his cousin could continue, the madman's eyes lit up, as if he had guessed what his cousin meant, and said excitedly: "Oh, yes, why didn't I think of this, but Researcher Wang was careful." β
The cousin looked at the madman six and nodded with a smile, it seems that the two of them are "a little bit clear" again, but everyone is still in the dark.
Seeing that we were all full of confusion, Maniac Six further explained, "Have you forgotten? The reason why Xuan Heng and Zhu Leting want to drink that kind of fresh urine regularly is that they need a drug to inhibit the rapid proliferation of their skin, so that the metabolism of new and old cells in their skin is in a dynamic balance state.
And that kind of human skin, in fact, also faces the same situation, if the skin cells are not inhibited, they will also die due to excessive proliferation, how do they solve this problem? It should be to use that pile of dregs. β
After the explanation of the madman six, we understand what is going on.
It turned out that those two human skins were hung on the big tree in order to take advantage of the pile of medicinal dregs under the big tree, if it was really as the madman Liu and his cousin said, these piles of medicinal dregs were really important to those two human skins, no wonder they would always hang here, not somewhere else.
After listening to this explanation, Old Man Yuan gave a thumbs up to his cousin and the madman Liu, and said sincerely: "You two are really amazing, your observation ability and reasoning ability are absolutely incomparable to ordinary people. β
The cousin smiled and waved his hand: "You have won the prize, these observations of ours have also been formed in the long-term struggle, otherwise, we would have died a long time ago." β
Crazy Six also smiled and said: "I think back then, when I was in a spy war with the Japanese, a small negligence could cause thousands of people to bleed, until now, before I go to bed, I have to check the windows repeatedly, and only after making sure that everything is locked, can I sleep with peace of mind, this excessive vigilance has become obsessive-compulsive disorder." β
However, it is also the crazy sixth, my cousin, and Xiao Lei, these outstanding qualities allow us to repeatedly defeat strong enemies in the fight against the blind man.
The sky is gradually getting dark, tonight, Old Man Yuan is going to see Xuan Heng with our questions, what kind of news will he bring?
