Chapter 68. Yuwang stele

After shouting a few times, Songzi still did not respond. Perhaps because of the curled up, his clothes were crumpled together, so I couldn't see if his lower abdomen was bulging with his breathing. Seeing that I shouted a few times and didn't answer, I reached out and shook his shoulder, and found that it was a little stiff, but it was not the kind of person who died with a stiff body, and Matsuko's shoulders were still somewhat elastic.

So I was a little relieved, but I was worried that the pine nuts would be the reason why my body had not completely ossified not long after I died. So I flattened his body and put him in a flat position, and in the process of turning over, the hand that had covered his neck slipped down, revealing three claw marks on his neck, which was similar to the feeling of being clawed by some wild beast, each very deep, and the skin was open. However, judging from the degree of blood stains around him, it seems that he did not hurt the large blood vessel in his neck, otherwise, the blood on the ground should not be only so little.

I stretched out three fingers, pressed the belly of my finger to the soft area between the right side of the pine nut and his neck, and pressed my finger down a little harder, when it touched his skin, I was completely relieved, because his body was still warm, and his skin was relatively soft, which meant that he was still alive. After touching it carefully, I found that there was still pulsation in my neck, probably because of excessive blood loss, so it became like this.

Judging from the degree of drying up of the blood on Songzi's hands and neck, and the degree of skin bursting on his lips, he has maintained his current position for at least a day, and the wound has long since stopped bleeding, but due to the loss of blood and the fact that he has not drunk or eaten for at least a day, his body has become dehydrated. And when I pressed his pulse, I just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to call Qin Bukong to come over, when I suddenly felt a tightness in my neck, and Songzi suddenly opened his eyes, and with that kind of fierce look in horror, his hands stuck my neck.

So I threw away the flashlight in my hand at once, grabbed his wrists with both hands, and began to break it out forcefully, so that I could breathe a little easier, but I don't know why, Matsuko's strength at the moment was much greater than I imagined. It is probably that when people encounter danger, they are always able to burst out with more strength than usual. I grabbed his hand and said to him with difficulty, "Matsuko! It's me! Let it go!

After saying four or five sentences in a row, Songzi's frightened and angry eyes gradually eased down, and it seemed that after regaining consciousness, he finally recognized me, and slowly he loosened his hand softly, and after giving me a very weak smile, he suddenly rolled his eyes, tilted his head back, and fainted again.

I didn't care about the pine nuts on my neck, so I quickly reached out to hold him, and then lay down, and I also used my satchel to put on the back of his neck, so that his head could be in a flat position, and he could also tilt up a little, so as to ensure that his breathing was smooth to the greatest extent. Matsuko's strange smile before he fainted, as if a person who had been nervous for a long time, suddenly relieved, maybe in the past two days, he also hoped that we would find out about his disappearance sooner, or even find this place earlier, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, finally looking forward to it.

After I flattened the pine nuts, I began to shout loudly for Qin Bukong. A few minutes later, Qin Bukong rushed over. He was an older man after all, so I reached out and pulled him up the cushioned steps. Briefly told Qin Bukong about the situation, and said that Songzi had just been awake for a few seconds, Qin Bukong frowned and said, although I don't like this kid very much, but after all, it is important to save his life, let's send him to the hospital first.

Qin Bukong's words surprised me a little, originally I thought he was going to leave pine nuts here to fend for himself. So he and I helped the pine nut up and sat it firmly, and he began to repeatedly pinch the pine nut and under the two eyebrows, in the center of the eyebrow bone. It is said that there is a pain point in this area, and if you press it hard, you can regain consciousness due to the pain. Sure enough, his method still worked, and soon Songzi opened his eyes weakly, but because he was too weak, he opened his mouth several times, although his lips were moving, but he was still speechless, so he even cried helplessly in the end, and the cry was also that desperate and hoarse feeling.

I feel uncomfortable in my heart, but I know that Qin Bukong and I are the most trusted people in Songzi at this moment, and I must take him away from here safely because of this. So Qin Bukong took out his kettle, poured out more than half of the water in the kettle, and handed the little remaining water to Songzi, and asked him to drink it first, I also glared at Qin Bukong at the time and said, you don't have to be so stingy, people are like this, you still deliberately waste water, do you still have no humanity? Qin Bukong still said indifferently, you know a fart, he has been dehydrated for so long, let him pour water violently, do you want to kill him immediately? I realized that I had lost my words, after all, I was still too ignorant, so I kept silent.

After Matsuko drank water, his spirit was a little better, and his body was able to move slowly, Qin Bukong and I began to help him walk towards the railing on the side of the kiln manhole cover, I climbed to the front, put my shoulder bag strap to the longest, and wrapped it around Matsuko's hand twice, so that he would not fall from mid-air because of losing his strength. Even so, it was still very difficult to get such a big soft living person as pine nuts out of the manhole cover, but fortunately, when Qin Bukong finally came out, I quickly covered the manhole cover, and scraped a small fork on the wall next to it with a key as a mark. As luck would have it, the manhole cover was also in a small alley, and it was also located next to a garbage disposal station, so no one noticed us.

So we rushed to the street, found out about the nearest hospital, and sent the pine nuts over.

The doctor's diagnosis said that the wound on Songzi's neck did not cut the major artery, so it was only a traumatic injury, and stitches and needles would be fine, and if it deviated by more than an inch, it was estimated that by the time we found him, the blood had already been drained. The trauma was only one cause of his weakness, but it was dehydration that really broke him.

Since Songzi is not good at talking, the doctor also explained that he needs to recuperate and not talk much, so we didn't ask anyone. In the afternoon of the same day, I gave pine nuts stitches, and according to the process of Western medicine, I infused some anti-inflammatory drugs and glucose to replenish the physical energy lost in the past two days.

Qin Bukong and I began to take turns taking care of the pine nuts, and as long as there was no danger to our lives, everyone was much more relieved. On the afternoon of the second day after he was admitted to the hospital, Matsuko was still recovering very well and was able to speak slowly and in a low voice, so I began to ask him why he left alone that day and what he encountered in the sewer.

Songzi lowered his head a little ashamedly, he told us that the reason for leaving was to be able to contribute to everyone with his own strength, and he was idle anyway, and sure enough, just like Qin Bukong guessed, he was desperate to find an opportunity to prove himself. And the reason why he wanted to go to the sewer was because when he investigated a few days ago, he found that even if it was demolished and built, built and demolished, it was still possible to judge the feng shui layout here from the appearance at a glance, from the location of the arch to the distribution of the surrounding houses, it was not a coincidence, but there was a certain amount of feng shui knowledge in it, so he guessed at that time that since everything on the surface still follows such a law, it should be the same under the ground that is difficult to dig underground.

At that time, Matsuko put himself in the shoes of the predecessor who buried things according to his own feng shui theory of acupoints, and if it was him, it would be better to hide such things in a certain location. And after calculation, he had found three matching locations around the Iron Gate Pass, and only one was the only one, he thought that the possibility was the greatest, because in that place, there was a "Yuwang Monument" that had never been demolished.

Songzi told us that the existing stele was actually restored by many directors of the "Hanyang Chamber of Commerce" in the early years of the Republic of China, and the original inscription had long been knocked away, leaving only a stele-carrying beast on the original site. And this beast only has half a turtle shell and four legs left, and its head and tail are either destroyed by robbery or war. So the Hanyang Chamber of Commerce of that year simply shoveled the beast directly into a boxy seat, and re-established a piece according to the record of this Yuwang tablet rubbing in the history books.

Songzi said that the key is that the piece of Yuwang Monument that was not originally damaged was erected in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of years earlier than the time when the predecessor buried things, so the predecessor must have made a choice of this place like us now, but Songzi guessed that he finally chose the bottom of the Yuwang Monument, which is the reason why he left the words "Dayu controls the water" under the word "charm".

When Matsuko said this, he did feel that he was mild before and after. So I asked him, is that why you chose to dig in the sewers? How did you know you were going to find it? Songzi said that the ground must be impossible, and even if there were, it would have been found a long time ago, and it was impossible for that senior not to predict this situation. Therefore, it must be underground, and it must be within ten meters of the ruler directly below the Yuwang Monument. Since the inscription is still there, it means that there is no pipeline directly below, which means that as long as you follow the pipeline to find that nearby, you can dig it from the side and dig directly below the inscription.

I was stunned, this guy Songzi has a deep admiration for his insights and speculations on these folk cultures, even if he doesn't know the world, he is so much younger than me.
