Chapter 161, Ming Dynasty Male Corpse
The heavy rain lasted for nearly ten minutes or so, and only then did it get smaller and smaller, even though the downpour became smaller, it still didn't stop, but at least I was able to stand up now, and I couldn't even walk under the heavy rain just now.
The three of us barely supported our bodies and stood up, I was in pain all over my body, the rain was really unusual, I felt like someone had beaten me up, "Oh my mother, it hurts me, this rain can kill people." ”
"yes, it's finally stopped, Jiao Ba, shall we continue?" Chang Shan turned his head and asked him.
Jiao Ba lit the flashlight, stared at the front and said, "We don't have to continue." ”
"What? Planning to go back? "I wiped the rain from my face, and I was soaking wet, and when the wind blew, my whole body shivered.
He suddenly laughed, "Hehe, it seems that this heavy rain has not fallen in vain, you look at the front." ”
I also turned on the flashlight and shone forward, when I saw the place where the pit was dug before, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I immediately came to my senses, and what appeared in front of us was a large rectangular pit, which was obviously the place where the coffin was placed, presumably because of the rainstorm just now.
"Yes, it saves our strength, it seems that this heavy rain has not fallen in vain." Tsuneyama also seemed excited.
"Let's go over and have a look." With a wave of my hand, the three of us walked quickly to the side of the grave, the flashlight shone from top to bottom, and there was a coffin less than three meters deep below, this coffin was not big, it was smaller than the coffin in the previous shipwreck, and there was probably less than half a meter of space around the coffin, which should be able to accommodate the next person.
"It seems that this pit is really not deep, it is only about three meters, so I must have been in a hurry at that time." Chang Shan squatted at the mouth of the pit and looked inside.
"Alright, let's stop wasting time, let's go down and have a look."
When I was about to leave, Jiao Bayi grabbed me and said, "Don't go down yet, let go of the corpse gas, otherwise you will be easily poisoned." ”
The three of us waited on it for another ten minutes, and I was a little anxious and said, "Okay?" It's been more than half an hour, and it's been an hour. "The time for me to get along with Mai Lao is almost up, and I can't delay it.
"Alright, let's go down." Jiao Ba took the lead and jumped down directly, he jumped on the lid of the coffin first, and then went down to the ground.
Chang Shan and I also hurried down, the three of us on one side, the position of the space is just enough, I took a flashlight to look at it first, this coffin is not black, closer to red, but not red, a bit similar to the color combined with red and black, very special.
"The color of this coffin is very special, I wonder if when I am alive, I am a person with status." I wiped the dust off the lid with my hands.
Jiao Ba looked around the coffin, and said without even raising his head, "You're wrong, this is a very ordinary coffin, whether it is wood or size, it is a very ordinary thing, but the color is a little special." ”
"It seems that this coffin has been around for some years, and the surrounding area is almost corroded, I estimate that it will be at least more than a hundred years." Chang Shan was next to me, patted the lid of the coffin and said.
"A hundred years? So is it really possible that it was from the Ming Dynasty? "Changshan can say that, I feel the same.
"Don't pretend about it, don't you two open it and see, Brother Yi, use a knife to open the nails on the lid of this coffin, let's prepare to open the coffin." Jiao Ba took out a sharp knife and began to nail the coffin.
Chang Shan and I also hurriedly started, the nails of this coffin are very long, but it may be because of the long time, so it didn't take much effort to get up, and we could open one in a few clicks, and it didn't take ten minutes to open all the nails of the entire coffin.
Jiao Ba glanced at the two of us and said, "You come up to me, let's push the coffin lid over, and when the coffin is opened, remember not to breathe first, hold your breath." ”
Chang Shan and I went around to Jiao Ba's side, "Come, get ready to push." Jiao Ba let out a low roar, and the three of us began to exert force at the same time, this coffin lid is not sinking at all, compared to the coffin lids of the two female corpses before, it is simply too different.
It didn't take much effort for us to push the lid open, and when the lid hit the ground, the three of us quickly covered our mouths with our hands, and I saw a black gas emanating from the coffin, but it quickly disappeared.
We held back our breath for about a minute, I gestured to Jiao Ba and asked him how long he had to hold back, Jiao Ba meant to wait a little longer, there was no way, so I had to continue to hold my breath.
When it was almost two minutes, Chang Shan was the first to can't help it, he 'poof', gasping for breath, "No... No, really... I can't hold it back. ”
Jiao Ba then also exhaled, "It's okay, Brother Yi, it's okay." ”
I relaxed and looked at him and said, "Damn, I almost suffocated me, I think I'll be fine." ”
Jiao Ba didn't squeak, and quickly picked up the flashlight to check the corpse inside, the flashlight slowly walked all the way from the beginning to the foot, which contained a male corpse, and the corpse did not decompose.
Of course, it is impossible to compare with the previous female corpses of the Ming Dynasty, those two demon insect corpses can stay young forever, and the muscles of this male corpse have atrophied, leaving only a wrinkled skin, which looks like a dried corpse.
His face was a little deformed, his teeth were all protruding, his eyelids were squeezed together, his limbs were naturally bent, and his legs were like a toad, which looked very awkward.
The male corpse wears a hat on his head, and the clothes he wears are similar to coats, slightly rotten, but not serious, from the appearance of the clothes, it can be clearly seen that this is the dress of the Han people, and it is still the dress of the ancients.
During the period of imperial rule, the clothing of other ethnic groups was very different from that of the Han people, but I can't tell which dynasty this corpse belongs to for the time being, after all, I am not professional, unless it is the clothing of the Qing Dynasty, I can see it at a glance.
And around the corpse, except for a rusty broken knife, there was nothing, not even the quilt covering the body, it was too simple, no wonder Jiao Ba said that this coffin was very ordinary, it was indeed too ordinary, and there were no funeral goods.
"It's a male corpse, how can this corpse be preserved so well, it hasn't decomposed." Chang Shan gently pressed the corpse's arm with the back of the knife.
"Yes, it's fairly well preserved, Brother Changshan, can you tell which dynasty he is from?" I looked at him and asked.
"It should be from the Ming Dynasty? I look a lot like that. Chang Shan didn't dare to make a conclusion, and said something that was blocked at both ends.
"Can't be sure?" I asked again.
Chang Shan didn't answer me, but asked Jiao Ba, "Jiao Ba, where do you see this corpse?" ”
Jiao Ba suddenly took a deep breath, turned his head to look at us and said, "You're right, this male corpse is from the Ming Dynasty, this will definitely not be wrong." ”
"Are you so sure? I was just guessing. Chang Shan put on a very lucky expression.
"Of course." Jiao Ba then shone the flashlight on the corpse's head, and gently picked the hat off the corpse's head with a knife.
"Hey, what are you doing, we're not here to rob the tomb, don't fool around." This guy is worthy of being a tomb robber, how can he be like this everywhere, and he doesn't return empty-handed.
"A grass people's grave pile, what do I have to steal, you have all seen it, except for a useless broken knife, there is nothing in this coffin, what do you want me to steal?" Jiao Ba was a little unhappy, and his words were quite hard.
"Then why are you picking someone's hat?" I stretched out my finger and pointed.
"It is because of this hat that I dare to conclude that he is from the Ming Dynasty, you see, this hat is called a net scarf, which was a common thing in the Ming Dynasty, and it can be seen from this point that he is 100% from the Ming Dynasty." Jiao Ba was very proud, and seemed to have an evil smile on his face.
"Can you tell who he was when he was alive? Is it the officials or the people? "This is also important.
"I can't see it, anyone can wear a scarf, no matter how high or low, so I don't see it at all, and now I can only be sure that this male corpse is from the Ming Dynasty." Jiao Ba said very calmly.
"If that's the case, then this is the next stop we're looking for." Chang Shan said with a little surprise.
"That's right, it's definitely like this, I've been suspicious of this island for a long time, it seems that it's really right, it's definitely not a coincidence that we can land on this island, it's been arranged in advance." After I finished speaking, I saw Jiao Ba using a knife to cut through the corpse's clothes.
I was disgusted and said, "What the are you doing?" I didn't know you were okay with this mouthful. ”
Jiao Batou didn't raise his head and said, "I'm doing business, look at how he died, what do you think I can do, can't rape the corpse?" I'm really convinced. ”
I was speechless by what he said, and I felt that my thoughts just now were indeed quite dirty.
"See what?" Chang Shan asked.
"You see, this man has multiple wounds on his chest, the most serious is this knife, which goes straight to the heart, from which it can be inferred that he was killed, this is because the body is not completely decomposed, otherwise it would not be visible at all." Jiao Ba withdrew the sharp knife and said with a grim face.
"Could it be that ... Was there really a war here before? "I feel like the answer is coming out.
"It should be, although a corpse is not easy to prove, but I feel very accurate, as for why this corpse does not decompose, I think it should have a lot to do with the geography here, this small island seems to have a kind of magic." Jiao Ba casually covered the corpse's clothes back.
"I don't know the magic, but I feel that this little island monster is real." Chang Shan said and pointed upwards with his index finger.
Jiao Ba and I looked up along his hand, but when I saw it, I was immediately stunned, staring at the sky with wide eyes, looking up from this grave, it was originally a small island covered with dark clouds, but now the sky has turned red, not the red of burning clouds, but blood red like blood
