Chapter 76: The Study of Corpses

And these Wokou are extremely strong in combat, and the Chinese are also very troublesome. If you encounter a Japanese pirate, it will be scarier than hell. And this time he actually smelled the terrible "smell of the wolf" in the wind, so without hesitation, he immediately sued the captain and asked to change course immediately. Fortunately, the captain was his uncle, and of course he knew his nephew's Yiqiē, so he did not hesitate to adjust the course immediately.

But not far behind them, there was a boat in the same company, because the time was too hasty, so before they could be notified, the ship had quickly approached the island, just as they were about to try to inform the ship, suddenly saw from the hidden place of the island, quickly appeared a dozen small boats, surrounded the big boat that was with them, it was the small boat that the Japanese were riding. Although the ship on which the Jews were riding had sailed far away, it was vaguely visible, but the fear still made the Jews shudder.

And if the big ship of the same company wants to run again, it is too late. In the face of these fierce Japanese pirates, they can only sit and wait for death. Later, I learned that none of the people on the ship survived or escaped. And the Jew, with his keen sense of smell, saved not only his own life, but also the lives of all those who were in the same boat with him.

At the entrance of the cave, the Jew, with his keen sense of smell, quickly discerned the smell of sulfur, saltpeter, moss, bat droppings, and bats, as well as the smell of rotting flesh and urine, which in the eyes of ordinary people was nothing more than a mixture of smells, and could never distinguish the smell of so many details.

From the strong smell of rotting flesh, the Jew felt that the corpse of the Taoist brother had been completely ossified, and when he entered with a torch, he found that his judgment was completely correct and there was already a pile of white bones.

Shakespeare has a quote in Hamlet: "How long does a man lie in the ground before he rots". Perhaps the real answer would have surprised Shakespeare: not nine years, not nine months, not even nine weeks, in the humid and warm environment of the jungle, it only takes about nine days for a human corpse to ossify.

Why does it rot so fast? This is due to the nature of the human organ.

After death, the digestive juices in the body first undergo "autolysis", which are used to digest food when the person is alive, and begin to dissolve the person's digestive tract at this time.

The blood of the human body is the "best paradise" for microorganisms to reproduce, these microorganisms multiply rapidly, and constantly decompose human organs, in this process, the gas produced will fill the blood vessels and soft tissues of the corpse, the corpse is filled with gas and expands in 12-18 hours, can expand to three times the original size, a bit like fermented steamed buns.

At this time, if you are in the real room, all the lights are turned off, and the needle is inserted into the corpse filled with gas, and the exported gas can be lit with a match.

The gas produced by this corpse also has the effect of squeezing out the internal organs of the human body: the eyeballs will be "pushed out" of the eye sockets, and the internal organs of the stomach will also overflow from the asshole, which is not only disgusting, but also a little scary to think about. But this is a phenomenon that happens when a corpse decomposes. Death has never been a beautiful thing for human beings.

The corpse of the Taoist brother will only be a few months old for at least, and of course it will turn into a skeleton. And the Jews are worried that those "face worms" will no longer exist, because the carrion on the corpses has basically been eaten, so will all those "face worms" disappear? He examined the skull's eye sockets, hoping to find the "face bug", but found nothing. He was a little disappointed, but it was to be expected.

The Jews knew from his knowledge that there were no worms, but there must have been eggs. So he meowed softly to the cat, and the Persian cat jumped out of his arms and jumped to the ground on the ground in the eye sockets of the skeleton. After a while, the Jews picked up the cat and left the cave.

In the few days after returning from the cave, he paid attention to the changes in the cat every day to see if the cat was infected with this bug, and after a few days, he could feel that the cat was successfully infected.

So, one day, on the night of his meeting with Zhang, he brought this very beautiful and clean Persian cat to Li Yuanwai's home, and gently "meowed" in the Persian cat's ear and said what it would be, so the Persian cat appeared in the yard where Li Yuanwai's son lived the next day, that is, the yard of Li Yuanwai's mother.

On this day, Li Yuanwai's son, accompanied by two maids, was in the flowers in the yard, catching butterflies and playing, and suddenly saw a very beautiful and clean white cat, lying in the flowers. This cat is very strange, and the color of the two eyes is not the same.

The cat came over gently, rubbing his face against the shoes of Li Yuanwai's son, Li Yuanwai's son couldn't help but squat down and gently stroke the cat's head with his hand, and after a while, the child became familiar with the cat. The cat seems to be very obedient and very smart, when the child catches the butterfly, it will open its eyes and crouch quietly to watch, and when the butterfly flies up from the flower, it will jump up from the ground and pounce, making the child and the two maids laugh together.

Just one day later, the child was inseparable from the cat. And this cat is the one left by the Jews.

At night, Li Yuanwai's study in the middle of the lake was already lit up. Li Yuanwai and the old man who asked for food sat opposite each other, the table was full of fragrant wine and food, and the old man listened carefully to Li Yuanwai's talk about the ups and downs he had encountered recently and the great dangers he faced.

At this time, Li Yuanwai felt as if he had a backer, and he was no longer so dazed and helpless, he knew that the old man in front of him was all his hope. Li Yuanwai kept pouring wine and cloth dishes for the old man, and the old man listened very carefully, and interrupted Li Yuanwai from time to time, carefully asking about some details.

Suddenly, the old man felt a little sweaty after eating, so he wanted to stand up and take off his coat, but when he turned around a little and changed the angle, he suddenly felt two green faint lights shooting out from under the dark table, and something was hidden under the table!

He gave Li Yuanwai a look, then quietly pointed to the bottom of the table with his hand, and then made a gesture to him to be silent. Li Yuanwai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his hairy eyes stood up, he knew that the old man was under the table, and he found something, what was hidden under the table?

The old man still pretended to be normal, and while taking off his coat, he said as if he had nothing to say, and when he took off his coat and held it in his hand, as if he was about to sit back in his seat, suddenly, with lightning speed, he unfolded his clothes, and at great speed, wrapped the "thing" under the table tightly in his clothes, and dragged it out.

Li Yuanwai heard the thing in the old man's clothes and made a meowing sound, so he breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a cat! But the old man did not hesitate, only to see him grasp his clothes, and threw the tightly wrapped cat to the floor, and every time he fell, the cat made a heartbreaking scream in his clothes, but the old man was so soft that he fell until the cat did not make any noise, and there were blood stains oozing from the wrapped clothes, and he stopped. When the old man put his clothes on the floor and unfolded them, Li Yuan looked outside, and sure enough, it was a white cat, which had been killed by the old man, and blood oozed from his nose and mouth.

The old man looked at Li Yuanwai a little confused, and said, "You take a closer look at the eyes of these two cats."

Li Yuanwai squatted down, took a serious look, and found that the color of the cat's two eyes was different, and its appearance was also different from that of the local cat.

The old man further explained: "This kind of cat is imported from abroad, we don't have this kind of cat in our local area, think about it, in addition to the foreigner can bring this cat, will there be any other possibilities?" ”

Li Yuan pondered the old man's inference outside, and nodded again and again. And he couldn't help asking, "Tell me, old man, why did the Jew bring this cat to my house?" ”

"Childe's illness is probably related to this cat." The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel while explaining to Li Yuanwai.

"It's so vicious, I'm at odds with them." After listening to the old man's words, Li Yuanwai couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred for that Jew.

"This Jew not only uses this cat to spread the disease, but also uses it to find out all kinds of secrets in your study, because your letters, accounts, etc., are stored in the study, these are the things he wants the most, and he himself has no chance to come in, so he has to let the cat to find out, don't forget, he understands the language of beasts, he can get a lot of useful information through a cat, even the news we can't think of, he can get through this cat."

After listening to the old man's further explanation, Li Yuanwai felt a chill down his spine, and thought: That's right, the seal letter and the accounts are indeed kept in the zài study, and the seal letter is a voucher for mobilizing funds, in case of losing this, I am afraid that his wealth will be swept away. The ultimate goal of that Jew was not to kill himself, but to get his own huge wealth, so the Jews would not take their lives lightly until they had enough information.

Now, there is no other choice, only one way, which is to kill this Jew, but not let the government know, otherwise it will be very troublesome, and it is really difficult to achieve this. Moreover, the Jews are by no means very human, and they are extremely difficult characters to deal with.

Li Yuanwai asked the old man tentatively and softly: "Old man, you see that this foreign devil is so vicious and evil, should this kind of person be eliminated as soon as possible, save and stay in the world, and harm good people?" ”。

The old man nodded slightly with a stern expression, and muttered to himself: "It seems that you have to open the killing ring, sin, sin."

Li Yuanwai couldn't help but feel a little comforted when he saw that the old man agreed with his disposal method, but he asked the old man with some worry: "This foreign devil has some skills and is scheming, and in addition, we can't let the government catch the handle, so it's not easy to find a proper way to get rid of him, right?" ”

The old man smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said with confidence: "No matter how great Sun Monkey's ability is, he can't escape the palm of the Buddha."
