"Brother Yu, Yunfeng? What are you doing there?"
The duck bumped into the tribute table, making too much noise and waking up Xiaoxuan.
"It's okay, you can go to sleep." I said with an unnatural expression.
Xiaoxuan stood up wrapped in a quilt and asked suspiciously: "What are you two hiding behind your back? Why are you so mysterious?"
She came talking.
When Xiaoxuan saw clearly, she immediately covered her mouth, her eyes full of horror and fear.
Previously, the ancient corpses were cut off from oxygen under the water all year round, and were soaked in coffin fluid for antisepsis, so they had no smell. ??
But just a day or two after getting it, the situation was different.
The smell emanating from the female corpse's head began to change from a sour smell to a foul smell.
The Echo Duck was lying on the ground with its head buried in its wings, looking very quiet.
The female corpse's head was originally in a slightly open-mouthed position, but the impact just now was so strong that the corpse's mouth was opened wide by the direct impact, which was about the size of a normal person eating.
I saw a thin black line hanging from the upper jaw of the female corpse's mouth.
I didn't let Xiaoxuan see it because I was afraid of scaring her. Now that I saw it, there was no need to hide it anymore.
The light in this small temple is really bad, so Brother Yu brought a flashlight to help me with lighting.
I covered my nose and squatted down, slowly reaching out and getting close to the black line hanging from the mouth of the female corpse.
"Um?"
"It's not a thread, it's silver, silver thread?"
It feels metallic at first hand.
During the Warring States Period, gold and silver crafts were popular. The silver could be made into thin threads. The reason why it turned black like this was because it took too long.
I pulled it outward and found that it couldn't be moved. I applied a little force and the silver wire snapped.
Xiaoxuan was a girl after all, and she was naturally resistant to such disgusting things. She opened the window, covered her mouth and retched outside.
Looking at the broken silver thread on my hand, I suppressed my nausea and thought about what this was.
What was found on the upper teeth, could it be dental floss?
During the Warring States Period, women began to use dental floss to straighten their teeth and have cosmetic surgery? Were there dentists at that time?
r> I have never heard of such a thing.
I caught the duck, looked at the duck and said, "Brother, what do you mean?"
"Do you want to tell us something? If so, just nod."
"You should nod!" I was a little anxious.
Brother Yu said: "Don't shake it, it will nod when you hold its head, and it is a female."
I put the duck gently on the ground, "Tell me, what do you want to express?"
"Gah."
"Quack!"
The duck was flapping its wings desperately and quacking incessantly. It seemed to be more anxious than me.
I turned around and asked: "Brother Yu, can you understand what it says?"
Brother Yu slowly shook his head, "I'm not sick, I don't understand."
Douyazai was still snoring, and the sound was like playing an erhu. Xiaoxuan opened the window and was retching.
At this time, a cool night breeze blew in from the window and hit my face, which made me feel a little itchy.
"Close it quickly!"
My expression changed, and I quickly ran over and closed the window in the temple.
Ah Chun was not scaring me before. The small pills she gave me and Dou Sprouts were similar to painkillers, and they only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause.
"Buzz."
Just then, the phone vibrated.
I picked up the mobile phone on the floor and said "Hello?"
That's Ah Chun.
She said in a slightly smiling voice: "You guys look pretty good, but the light reflected from Yu Wenbin's head looks like a big light bulb from here."
"Where are you?"
I gently opened the window a crack and looked outside.
It's still dark now and the whole Xingfu Village is dark. Where exactly is Achun looking?
We can't see it at all.
"You don't have to worry about where I am. It's useless to know."
"Then how can I give you something?" I asked, closing the window.
"You wait ten minutes, and someone will come to get it immediately. At that time, you open the window behind the Nio Temple and use a rope to unload the things. Then you can get the antidote for itching, take it with warm water, and take it for three days."
"
Achun said again: "Have you not figured it out? Why did you know the situation in the tomb and what you found even though you were not there?"
"I did it all. I gave the note to this "person" and he passed it outside to the self-harming snake, so the self-harming snake knew what it wanted."
When saying these words, Achun emphasized the word "people".
This made me confused. Instead of people coming to take it, could it be that ghosts came to take it?
"Can Yu Wenbin answer the phone? I'll have a few words with her."
I turned to look at Brother Yu.
Brother Yu took the phone with an indifferent expression, turned on the speakerphone, and said what he was doing.
"I think it's funny that you took the time to go to the barber shop to have your eyebrows painted."
Brother Yu said with a cold face: "It's funny? I don't think so. Besides, what does it have to do with you, a woman, if I don't draw my eyebrows?"
On the other end of the phone, Ah Chun fell silent after hearing this.
After waiting for half a minute, Ah Chun sniffed and said, "Yes, it has nothing to do with me. In your eyes, I must be a very bad woman."
"Yu Wenbin."
"Listen to my advice and stop here."
"Give him the thing and end it like this. There are gods and ghosts in this world that we can't see. The self-harming snake you have to deal with is an ordinary person in body, but its mental thinking has jumped out of the scope of normal people.
"
"Du" Ah Chun said and hung up the phone.
The window at the back of Nio Temple is behind the statue, and the front is blocked by a tribute table. There is a layer of dust on the window sill. It seems that no one has opened this window for a long time.
Waiting for a long time
In less than ten minutes, while there was no wind, I unplugged the latch and opened the rear window, holding up a flashlight to look down.
The itching on my face is getting stronger and stronger. If I say I'm not afraid, I'd be lying. Lao Ka's fate is a living example.
"Where is there anyone?"
When I saw the time Ah Chun mentioned, the temple was completely empty, not to mention people, not even a ghost.
I'm looking back and forth.
Brother Yu suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said, look, is something coming?
As soon as Brother Yu finished speaking, I saw a big dog running out of the alley.
This big dog was all yellow in color. It was either a golden retriever or a relatively large rural native dog or a pastoral dog. This big dog had a basket in its mouth, got on all fours, and ran downstairs grunting.
It put down the basket and barked "woof" at us.
"Dog basket"? I was shocked
Isn’t this the big yellow dog raised by Lao Hu?
When we came to Daoxian County, we entered Guizailing for the first time. It was noon that day, and Lao Hu came to drive us away with a stick and a dog. The dog yelled at us crazily. Yes, it’s not wrong, that’s it.
strip!
I haven't seen this dog since then, and I didn't think it was a big deal. After all, who can't bear to stare at a dog every day after eating enough.
"Woof!"
The old yellow dog barked under the window again, as if urging.
Putting the female corpse's head into a plastic bag, Brother Yu found a rope and unloaded it along the wall.
The dog bit the plastic bag, lifted it up, bit it, and removed it.
It barked again.
Brother Yu pulled up the basket.
When I came up, I saw a white plastic medicine bottle in the middle of the basket without a label.
Under the window, the old yellow dog sniffed first, as if inspecting the goods, then bit the plastic bag and turned away.
I looked with the flashlight and after walking for a few dozen meters, this old yellow dog turned back and looked at us.
Smiled a little.
