Chapter 101: The Granary
The outside of the gate was sealed, and there was no sign of anyone entering or leaving. If you talk about climbing over the wall, it is estimated that not many people have such strength now. Then there is only one possibility, that is, this person has been staying in the Lu family's house until he dies.
I took Lu Jia and Lu Yuxiu outside, let them calm down, and return to Wuchen by themselves.
Look at this corpse, except for the scalp and the skull, the whole face is already without any flesh, Sen Sen's white bones are exposed, and the two black holes and hole eye sockets look strange and scary in broad daylight.
"It's been two days since I died. "Dustless is like a pretence, pretending to say.
He knows that there are several ways to look at the time of death of a corpse, one is to look at the zombie, which is the earliest stage of death, then the corpse spots, which are caused by the bruising of capillaries, and the other is the degree of decay of the corpse, because there is a certain periodicity of bacteria and other microorganisms, which is a matter of a long time after the corpse spots have been formed. Further afield, there is the weathering of the bones due to the natural environment.
But this corpse, covered with white bones, how to look at the time of death.
"How do you know he's been dead for two days?"
"Naturally, it is impossible to tell when the dead man died, but the flesh on his body must have been eaten by the crows in the trees outside. ”
After he said this, everyone turned their heads to look at the crows perched on the locust tree in the backyard. A few huge crows chirped twice and flew away. There were two more, with eyes fixed on a few of us.
"Even if the meat on his body was eaten by crows, then you say it was two days?"
"He had only enough meat for a crow for two days. You can see that his scalp is not dry, and the broken flesh on the bones is still watery, indicating that this person has just been eaten by crows. Luo Shicheng actually explained it to me.
This person is no longer important, his death is an unexpected episode, but it also casts a shadow on everyone's hearts. It is estimated that he was also looking for food in the Lu family's house. I didn't find it, I starved to death here, and I had to be eaten by crows.
We were divided into six groups and searched for two hours in the huge house. I'm not a person who likes to persevere, and once you get into a protracted battle, it basically means you have to give up. At this time, I don't want to look for it anymore, just after noon, I haven't even eaten lunch, who has the energy. If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't been able to find food here, I would have been hungry for lunch, and I would have picked a pick.
"Let's go to the hall for a while. The sun is too big, don't ......"
I was just about to say don't burn my skin, but I remembered that this was Bao'er's body, and it was a little boring to talk about it any further. Lu Jia saw my thoughts and nodded at me with a smile.
"Why did you two get in?"
In the main hall, I met Wuchen and Lu Yuxiu, and the two of them were responsible for looking for mechanisms in the main hall of the front yard.
"How can you two find such a big hall? The two of us came over to help. ”
"You can sit down, I wiped the chair just now. It's a pity that the kitchen has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no way to make tea. Lu Yuxiu said shyly.
It's really hard for this girl, when she encounters such a fucking thing, she can make a gesture of a master when she arrives at her own house and entertain us. It made my buttocks, which I was about to sit on the chair, unconsciously lift up again.
"Sit down, look at you tired. ”
Lu Jia looked at my embarrassing posture and walked over and pressed my shoulder. If you want to say that you can hold it in this situation, it has to be a woman. I just followed the trend.
My hand touched the arm of the chair, and I felt a little panicked. Looking down, it turned out that the armrests were carved into the shape of a dragon. This Lu Zijun really doesn't know how to be low-key, you are qualified to sit on the "dragon chair" as anyone. Is he used to being the emperor of the soil in Shandong?
Look at the dozen or so chairs in the main hall, and the armrests are all in the shape of a dragon.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Jia asked me when he saw me staring at the chair opposite.
"Chairs. I said casually, "Miss Lu, your father really doesn't know how to converge, this chair is engraved with dragons." ”
"Mu Gongzi thought about it a lot. Lu Yuxiu replied, "The dragon is a symbol of auspicious gods in all dynasties of the Central Plains. Not all dragons symbolize imperial power. Don't you see that the dragon carved on the chair has no horns? This kind of dragon is not used by the royal family. ”
It's the dragon again. Hey, Lu Yuxiu is really a showman, and when I refute it, I really have the demeanor of everyone's ladies. If you look closely, it's true that none of these dragons have scales or horns.
"No, doesn't the dragon in that chair have horns? "I pointed to a chair near the doorway, and the dragon on the arm of that chair was an ordinary dragon, scaly and horned.
"If there is, you won't be afraid of talking too much and being hungry. "Dustless is still there pouting and rummaging. If there is a secret passage in the house, it will be very troublesome to find, because all the details may be the carrier of the mechanism.
"You're hungry. "After all, I'm not a hairy boy in my early eighteen, nineteen or twenties, and I still have the ability to carry hunger. Dustless is different, it is when Twenty Lang is old and eats the most.
As I spoke, I walked over to the chair and moved the dragon carved on the armrest, nothing special, and it didn't seem to be a mechanism. Sitting on it, swaying back and forth from side to side a few times, is it just an ordinary chair?
"You can sit down, can you rest in peace!" Wuchen was annoyed by the sound of me moving his chair, and threw a feather duster at me. I didn't want to get up and hide, so I leaned back and fell back with my chair. The feather duster dodged it, and I fell to the ground with the chair.
"What's that?" Lu Jia asked, pointing to the soles of my feet.
Just now, in order not to fall, I stepped on a floor tile with the force under my feet. When I got up, I saw that the floor tiles were empty.
I quickly got up, ignoring my aching buttocks, and looked at the hollow under the tiles. The hole was boxy, a foot deep, and the bottom of the cave was still a stone slab, and a rusty iron ring was attached to it.
I'm so excited, I had this dream of treasure hunting when I was a child, and now I've actually bumped into it. I didn't think about anything, I reached out and pulled the hoop.
"Don't move!" Wuchen's voice exploded in my ears, making my hands tremble, and it was too late to think about moving.
As the iron ring was pulled, the stone slab below actually cracked through the middle, and a short arrow shot up from under the stone slab. is really inexperienced, Lu Zijun is too insidious, and he actually installed a hidden weapon under the iron ring. Fortunately, in my eyes, the speed at which the short arrow came out was really slow, and my first reaction was to push Lu Jia aside and tilt my head back. I saw a short arrow piercing the beam of the house in an instant.
"What are you doing earlier, you won't remind you until the arrows hit me in the head. ”
I was afraid that Wuchen would come up and complain that I was inexperienced and scolded me for being reckless, and I took the first step to complain that he didn't remind me.
"Master Mu, I'm really sorry. Daddy's heart is too heavy......"
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuxiu apologized to me first, which made me a little confused. I can only say embarrassedly: "It's okay, it's okay, fortunately, it didn't hurt anyone." ”
"Brother Mu, let me come, the organ is inseparable from the Taoist Xuangua, although I am not talented, I still know a thing or two. ”
I really want to kill this girl, pretending to be something. But this kind of thunder thing still let this kid do a good job, in case of an emergency, my eyes can't slow down, it's really not worth hanging up.
Luo Shicheng and a few of them also heard this toss, and they all hurried to the hall and watched Wuchen pull the rusty iron ring.
"Be careful, Dustless Dao Chief!" Lu Yuxiu reminded in a low voice, after all, this is her family's thing, and it is estimated that she will not be able to pass her own level if she hurts people.
Wuchen nodded at her, and as soon as he competed, the iron ring followed his hand and went up. There was an iron chain underneath, and it rubbed against the iron plate with a loud sound.
This time, there were no short arrows, but a piece of ground sunk next to a load-bearing pillar on the left side of the main hall. No one spoke, instead staring at the descending staircase that appeared.
"Let's go down and have a look? Wuchen's eyes lit up first and he was excited.
