As soon as they had put the contents of the ground into sacks and were about to leave, I suddenly said, "Oh, wait! ”

The middle-aged man looked at me and asked, "Boy, who are you?" Get out of the way, don't get in the way. ”

"Listening to the accent of the eldest brother, it should be from Shanxi, just now the younger brother was fortunate enough to open his eyes, so he wanted to inquire secretly." As I spoke, I mysteriously leaned into his ear, "Where are you putting this pot?" ”

When the man heard this, he trembled all over, stared at me viciously, became alert, and said tentatively, "You...... What is this for? ”

In the past, in Tufuzi, the "branch pot" was a common incision, that is, tomb robbery. In the early years, people went out to make a living, and cooking was a temporary triangular table, put the pot on, and then make a fire to cook, so it was called "branch pot". Later, the "branch pot" evolved into the beginning of starting a family, and the tomb robbers borrowed it as a gang to rob the tomb, which was very vivid. Correspondingly, if "the pot can't be supported", it is a failure to rob the tomb and return empty-handed, which is also called "empty".

"It seems that a few big brothers are active in this Shaoxing area, it is estimated that there are ten holes and nine empty holes underground, right?" I meant to get close to them, but I didn't expect to talk about their sadness. The man sighed: "Don't mention it, our brothers have been empty for almost half a year, and it's not easy to open it." ”

"But you're a thief, and no one dares to accept it blatantly, so it's the case if you ask elsewhere."

The man trusted me very much, and said eagerly, "Brother, do you have a way?" ”

"They are all people in the rivers and lakes, and it is right to help the foil, so let's recommend someone to you, this person is still good at eating in this generation, he is the boss of Yueqingtang, known as Professor Mu, you will know as soon as you ask."

Those people were about to thank them, when suddenly a person came out of it, and before they saw him, they heard his voice first: "Where did you come from something that didn't look at you, dare to come to my house to spread wild!" ”

I turned around and looked, only to see Lao Qi coming out of it angrily, secretly happy in my heart, and said with a smile: "It's me!" ”

Lao Qi originally thought that those migrant workers were coming to make trouble, and his eyes were wide, and he didn't even look at them, but the voice in his ears felt very familiar when he heard it, and he turned his head in surprise, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, Li Rui!" ”

"Li Rui, don't say a word when you come! I'm going to meet you. ”

I waved my hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't act with me here, fake model." ”

"Look at what you're saying, brother, I really miss you!"

"Miss me?" I smiled coldly, "I haven't seen you come to me for so many days." ”

"Oh, brother, you wronged me, I don't have the face to look for you, I didn't want to go to the last time, I didn't want to go to ...... last time."

"Hey, you're still going to be upset? You almost didn't kill me last time! ”

At this time, Lao Qi's face sank slightly, and he pulled my sleeve, and I immediately realized that something was wrong, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Shhhh Lao Qi whispered in my ear: "Yan Yunshu didn't come to you again? ”

"No?" I didn't know why, "What's the matter, they came to trouble you again?" ”

Lao Qi sighed, "No, Lao Mu called me a few days ago and knocked me again, how could they not take action against you?" ”

"Oh?" I suddenly became interested and asked, "What did Lao Mu say to you?" ”

"He, he said......" Lao Qi said slowly, "this is not the place to talk, go in and talk." ”

So, Lao Qi pretended to be fine, and said with a smile: "Wife, Li Rui is here today, but you have to wait for a good life, why don't you work hard, go buy a few vegetables, and let's open meat together in the evening?" ”

"Virtue!" Lao Qi's wife smiled and went out.

Lao Qi led me into the back hall, made another cup of tea, and said, "Lao Mu went to the southwest a month ago. ”

"Where did you get the news?" I asked.

"Coincidentally, I have a business partner in the southwest, and he saw him in a village and gave me the news!" Lao Qi said.

"Really?" I was stunned at first, "What about later?" ”

"Later, things were even more strange, my friend said that there was a young girl who was traveling with him, and sent a photo to see, guess who?"

As he spoke, Lao Qi took out his mobile phone, and I just glanced at it, and then said in astonishment: "This ...... Lin Xiaoyu? ”

"Yes, it's Miss Lin."

"What's going on, what is Lao Mu doing with Lin Xiaoyu to the southwest?" I was puzzled.

"After this happened, I also felt puzzled, but I didn't expect that only a few days later, Lao Mu's phone arrived, telling me not to disclose his whereabouts."

"Looks like it's getting complicated again!" I stared at the photo and let out a long sigh.

I went out and called Lao Ji and asked him if he knew Lao Mu's whereabouts, who knew that Lao Ji actually said that he knew, and he was also clear about the situation of Lin Xiaoyu and Mu Yunhe together. Now I was directly angry, and asked him why he didn't tell me, if Lao Qi hadn't told me, I would still be in the dark. Lao Ji just said that there were no eyebrows yet, and it would not be too late to wait for progress, and then hung up the phone.

"There's definitely something wrong with that!" I don't trust Lao Ji anymore, he must have something to hide from me, "Mu Yunhe and the others just finished pouring the Yinshan Tomb, and they set their sights on the southwest, didn't they get some secrets there?" ”

"Lao Qi, you tell me the whole thing again from beginning to end." I went back to the house and said to Lao Qi.

Lao Qi saw that I was so concerned, so he said: "My friend arrived earlier than Lao Mu, and the cause of the incident was that a month ago, a group of tomb robbers dug up an ancient tomb in the Kangchuan area, and brought out a 'salted fish' from it. ”

"Salted fish?" I was surprised.

The so-called "salted fish" is a name for a corpse. The "salted fish" in the mouth of the tomb robber refers to the undecomposed corpse in the tomb. Since ancient times, extending the shelf life of food has always been an important challenge for human reproduction, and in order to preserve fish for a long time, they will be salted, and the high-salinity rouge is not perishable. The tomb robbers said that the corpse was a "salted fish", which was related to the embalming customs of the ancient northern peoples.

Historically, there have been methods of disposing of corpses by salting. In the 10th century, after the death of the Liao people, no matter how far away, they had to be transported back to their hometown for burial. The Liao State is in the northeast region, mainly the Khitan people, who live on herding, hunting, and fishing, and like to pickle salted fish and salted meat. In order to keep the corpses from decomposing, they took inspiration from pickling, and they did the same when handling corpses: the belly was dissected, the internal organs were removed, the water was drained, and then the "salted corpses" were salted thoroughly with large salts with spices. This is what is recorded in the book "The Facts of the Imperial Court" by Song Wenwei Jian: "Its rich family, people have deceased, break the abdomen with a blade, take their intestines and stomach to cleanse it, and use incense and salt alum, five sewing it, and pierce the skin with a sharp reed tube, drain its ointment and blood, and ......"

"If it was just a salted fish, things wouldn't have alarmed Lao Mu. Strange is that that night, the salted fish fell to the ground and became a zombie, and more than a dozen people were killed, but fortunately, the local troops arrived in time and burned the body, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

"There is such a thing, what are these guys going to do if they want to resell ancient corpses?"

"The key is here, as far as I know, these people are red-topped Tufuzi, and it is already unpredictable to let them look at this ancient tomb, and in their hands they actually let the salted fish fall to the ground and freeze, and finally die, it's unbelievable."

"Red-capped Tufuzi?" I was also a little surprised, "Why did this red-topped Tufu get in again?" ”

"I don't know, and after the zombie kills, no trace has been found." Old Qi sighed.

"And then?"

"About a week later, there was news that zombies had been tracked in a canyon outside the county seat of Panlong."

I didn't think much of it at first, looking at Lao Qi's surprised and expectant eyes, a little inexplicable, and asked, "What's wrong with you, keep talking, look at what I'm doing?" ”

"Aren't you surprised?" Lao Qi asked, "The local area has been looking for a week's time, this canyon is nearly a hundred kilometers away from the accident site, and there are mountains and valleys along the way, this zombie is full of food and runs so far?!" ”

"Oh, my mother, so far away!" I was horrified, "yes, is it full?" Will zombies still recognize their way? ”

"Hey, don't say it, I'll let you say it." Lao Qi smiled: "When I heard this news, I also wondered if this zombie knew the way!" Later, they found an ancient tomb in the middle of the canyon. ”

"Tombs?" I was stunned, "You mean this tomb is the nest of this zombie?" ”

"No, no, no."

"So what's going on?" I was getting more and more confused.

"You are stupid, this zombie became a zombie because the salted fish fell to the ground and the moisture entered the body, so how could the nest of the salted fish be in the ancient tomb? It can only be said that this salted fish was inextricably linked with this ancient tomb before it died, so that it still remembered it after death, and it had to come back over the mountains and mountains. ”

"Damn, why does it sound like a beautiful love story, the horror movie version of Liang Zhu?"

"Don't interrupt!"

"But I don't understand, what does this have to do with Lao Mu?" I held my chin in my left hand and thought.

"I'm going to ask you, the Yinshan you went to with must know more than I know." Lao Qi glanced at me with a smile and said: "My friend went for the corns and yellow sand, and when I first saw Lao Mu, I also thought that he came with the same purpose, but who knew that Lao Mu had been living in seclusion since he got there, which aroused his suspicions, so he leaked the news to me." ”

"Wait, are you saying that Lao Mu hasn't taken action since he got there?"

"Not bad." Lao Qi nodded and said, "When I listened to my friend, Lao Mu was unusual, very strange this time, it seemed like he was on vacation, especially when he brought a beautiful beauty with him." ”

Although I can't see through what kind of medicine is sold in Lao Mu's gourd, I believe that there must be a conspiracy that I don't know about, "I really didn't expect that this stiff salted fish would become the leader, and the two things were strung together." ”
