7. From the ancestral grave (4)
The old man sighed, "It's not my problem, there are records of the two families in Cong Yu, someone once opened the iron coffin, and it caused big trouble, although the record was only a few strokes, but there were many people who died at that time." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info if we open it and history reappears, it is estimated that we will not be able to get out. ”
Brother Qiang was the most annoying, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and tore off a piece of rust, "It's already rusted like this, if the things inside could move, they would have come out a long time ago, so why wait for us to open it." ”
The old man gritted his teeth, "Let's die, open it and take a look." ”
Brother Qiang smiled and said, "You guys pull aside, this iron coffin has already rusted into an iron lump, I'll give it breathe." Brother Qiang took two steps back, made a running motion, and kicked forward violently.
There was a dull cracking sound, followed by a loud noise, and one of Brother Qiang's feet was stretched into the iron coffin with half of his calf, ", it's already rusty." Fortunately, I didn't use all my strength, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get in. ”
Brother Qiang's movements were very funny, his entire upper body had been attached to the coffin, and he was about to pull his legs out with an embarrassed smile when he turned around. At this moment, Brother Qiang's smile froze, and he suddenly pulled his legs back, ", there's really something alive inside." him. ”
Brother Qiang straightened his body, pressed on the edge of the iron coffin with his other foot, and pressed his hands against the lid of the coffin, his whole body had already bowed up, but he couldn't pull out that foot when he stretched out.
I grabbed Brother Qiang's waist and pulled it back. It happened that the flashlight was shining on which hole, and the bloody hand was clutching Brother Qiang's pants.
The power of the contents was so great that the two of us only dragged the hand out halfway with the strength of the milk. "Old man, is the tug-of-war pretty? I turned around and roared, and the old man tied a piece of rope around my waist and dragged it back desperately.
I felt like I was going to be pulled off, the rope was too thin, and it was deeply embedded in my flesh. It hurt and I almost wanted to let go.
I couldn't help but be a little frightened, the strength of the three people was superimposed, and it was really a two-hundred-pound corpse that had already been dragged out.
With a bang, a big hole cracked in the iron coffin, almost tearing off one end of the iron coffin, and the zongzi inside also broke out of the coffin.
As soon as I looked at Zongzi's face, I shouted violently, "Old man, your relative is not hiding from the cat this time, he likes Brother Qiang's Hong Kong foot." ”
This rice dumpling was the one I had ripped off the entire scalp before, and he was facing me with the top of his head, and I could see a few bones missing, and the maggot-ridden brain was moving. I thought I was dazzled, and I shook my head and didn't turn the flashlight to him, "He's alive, why is his brain still beating." ”
If I could be disgusted for a long time in this scene before, but Zongzi was grabbing Brother Qiang's feet, and the only thought in my heart was to drag it back.
I hugged Brother Qiang's waist and dragged it back for more than half a meter, and I was dragged out with the zongzi.
With a bang, Brother Qiang's trouser leg was torn, but Zongzi still grabbed the trouser leg unrelentingly, "Brother Qiang, drag your pants, let Zongzi see your Dinghaishen needle." ”
Brother Qiang hurriedly unbuckled his belt, and suddenly loosened his pants and took off half of them. The three of us fell back to the ground at the same time. The old man was still dragging desperately behind me, and I had already loosened Brother Qiang's waist, "Old man Ye, you are blind, what's the use of just dragging me." ”
As soon as the rope was loosened, I broke free of the rope around my waist and crawled over to help take off a layer of pants from Brother Qiang's outer layer. Brother Qiang exhaled like a cow, and with a ruthless heart, he pulled out a dagger and slashed at Zongzi's wrist.
The dagger stabbed on the stone and made a sharp grinding sound, Brother Qiang stabbed a few times, scolded and quickly took off his pants, and rolled back on the spot, ", it's maggots." These rice dumplings are full of maggots in their blood. ”
Brother Qiang rubbed the dagger on the pants he took off, and shone it with a flashlight to make sure that there were no insects on it, and then sat on the ground and looked at the zongzi. Zongzi has not moved since we dragged it out, his head is high, his eyes are open in anger, and his mouth is wide open as if he is laughing wildly.
I exhaled, the finger of the zongzi was bent and hooked on the trouser leg, the zongzi didn't move, it just hooked Brother Qiang's trouser leg, everything was just our own scare "This zongzi didn't move, and I was almost scared to death by Brother Qiang." ”
The old man looked inside the coffin through the hole he had just knocked out. Inside the coffin, a mass of maggots was burrowing up and down, not knowing what to attach to. The other end of the coffin turned out to be a hole, and there was a stone hole of average size in the stone wall behind the hole.
I breathed a sigh of relief, "I said, this coffin has rusted to death, how did this guy climb in." I didn't expect there to be a back door. ”
Zongzi was lying next to me, and I felt very uncomfortable for him to stare at me so angrily, and he drew his dagger and tried to stab him blind.
Before the dagger could be drawn, the head of the zongzi tilted, and a puddle of things flowed out of his mouth with a bang. And Zongzi seemed to wake up, turned over and got up from the ground. As soon as his body was crooked, his brain actually flowed out of the skull where a few bones had been lost, and he fell to the ground with a thud. The sound was crisp, like a piece of tofu had been broken, and the blood soup mixed with maggots splashed far away.
"Damn, what the hell is he, he can still move when his brain is gone. He also got up and ran, but when he turned around, he saw Brother Qiang flying up and kicking the zongzi into the deep pit.
Underneath the pit was a pool of water, and there was a pop of water. I shouted at Brother Qiang's might, and sat on the ground panting.
The old man glanced down, and then rushed towards the iron coffin.
"Old man, there are maggots in it. Are you looking for death?" the old man turned around and smiled at me, "There's something in the iron coffin." ”
I took the flashlight and bent down to look at it, and the old man had almost climbed in. Just at the entrance of the stone cave where the iron coffin is connected, there is a scroll sandwiched in the crack in the stone.
The old man knelt in the coffin and assumed an extremely awkward position to avoid the piles of maggots. The old man withdrew, and then he gasped for breath, and I could still smell the disgusting stench outside the coffin.
Brother Qiang picked up a little magnet powder on the ground and threw it into the maggot pile. The maggots fled in fright, revealing a blood-red mass inside. Brother Qiang pinched his nose and came up to look at it, turned around and gasped for a few breaths, "This guy's internal organs have flowed out, and this smell can smoke people to death." ”
I got goosebumps when I saw maggots, and when I saw Brother Qiang playing with these disgusting things, I empathized and hid backwards.
The old man opened the scroll and handed it to me after just looking at it, and I saw that it was also a map, exactly the same as the human skin map I had obtained earlier.
"Old man Ye, these maps must be from the Cong family, haven't you ever heard of them?" I stretched out the map and shook it in front of Old Man Ye.
The old man shook his head, "You also know that I am not recognized in the Cong family, that is, I am just a tomb robber." I am afraid that only a very few people in the Cong family have the right to know this kind of information, and the same is true for the Yu family. As for whether the Xu family also has this map, it remains to be verified. ”
Brother Qiang pointed to the stone cave in the depths of the coffin, "Shall we go in and take a look, maybe there is a flower girl inside." ”
I saw Brother Qiang's obscene smile, completely forgot the frightened scene just now, and scolded him for being heartless.
The old man shook his head, "This person must have climbed into the hole when he climbed into the iron coffin, looking at the maggots on his body, there may be a group of maggots in this hole." When you enter someone's nest, you can imagine the feeling of falling into a pile of maggots, which is more exciting than falling into a manure pit. ”
I shuddered, and I couldn't imagine it, as I walked to the edge of the crater, and the corpse floating below the waterhole was still wide open, still with my eyes wide open and my mouth wide open. The water around me was sparkling, and I thought that the maggots must be drowning in the water and struggling desperately.
Brother Qiang didn't think he could see clearly enough, and with a snap, a red light lit up, and Brother Qiang fired a flare into the depths of the giant pit, "It's still the equipment given by the Xu family, this flare is bright, you can see it clearly, and the key is eye-catching." I used to buy those goods, and I could be blind for a long time when I was shaken. ”
"What is eye-catching, it was because of the distance before, you make one and try it in front of you. I gave him a blank look, turned around and followed the old man to the next floor.
Brother Qiang pointed to the iron coffins in the stone nests beside him, and asked the old man if he still opened a few to take a look. The old man refused coldly, and asked Brother Qiang to find death and not drag us down.
"What's that up ahead?" As we walked up the next wooden ramp again, we vaguely saw a human head peeking out of sight.
"Old man, the feng shui of your ancestral tomb is good, and it will become a zongzi when you get here, if you didn't say that this is your ancestral tomb before, I should still be a place to raise corpses. I stopped, thought about the old man's mouth, and motioned for him to come forward and communicate.
The old man chuckled, "That's not a real human head, it should be some kind of sculpture." With that, he strode over.
I don't know what kind of wood the wooden slope is made of, and the iron coffin is still rusted into a mass of iron slag, but the wood is still strong. But in the middle of the wood, something in the shape of a human head came out from underneath. It is black in color and has a layer of magnet powder attached to it.
Brother Qiang is really good, the scar forgot the pain, stepped forward and kicked lightly, "What is this, why is it here." In the past, I heard that Shu Kingdom was blocking the coffin, but your Cong family is simple, and putting a person's head here is considered a welcome lady?"
I crouched down and looked at it with a flashlight. It looks like a magnet carving, but I don't know if it's a magnet texture under the magnetic powder. Brother Qiang is addicted to kicking, and while saying this, he keeps kicking forward.
I grabbed Brother Qiang's leg, "Are you looking for death?" What if there is something wrong with this thing?"
When I looked at the head again, I realized that it had actually opened its eyes, and its mouth was slightly open. Brother Qiang's kicked toes almost stuck into the mouth of the human head.
"Is this really a head, old man, your family still has this tradition?" I felt very strange, I had never heard of any ethnic group or rumor that there was such a custom.
But at this time, the eyes of the human head were completely open, and the mouth was wide open, and I was startled and sat back with my ass, "Fuck, it's ugly." ”
