Generally speaking, the puddles formed on the site of this old river are not too big or too deep. The Yarlung Zangbo River is the river with the smallest amount of sand, and the same is true for the Gaye River. However, this puddle on the old river is very
It was so turbid that standing on the edge of the puddle, you couldn't see clearly even three meters below the surface of the water.
Usually no one pays attention to this kind of puddle. Moreover, it is very remote nearby. The three people started to get into the water. However, after waiting, they discovered that their previous judgment was wrong. The puddle was not big, but very deep. It gradually became thicker.
The diving lead weight went down to about thirteen or four meters, and they discovered something. This discovery surprised the three of them.
At the bottom of the puddle, there were a few iron boats crowded together. The iron boats had no power propulsion device and were hand-rowed. There were some rusty and unrecognizable things in the cabin. They should be small portable equipment. They couldn't do anything about it for the time being.
After getting the things on the boat out, I just felt strange that in such a small puddle, several small tin boats suddenly squeezed in and sank to the bottom. There were only things on the boat, but no people.
When Wu Sizang said this, Xiaozhu fully understood that the original intention of the country man who told Rong Jia the story must be to pass the situation back to him, otherwise he would not have to bother to recount the story when he was about to die.
So detailed.
The water in this puddle was very turbid, and the visibility was still very low even when there was light. Then, the three people discovered that these iron boats sunk at the bottom of the water seemed to surround an area of only three or four meters square. According to
Judging from the arrangement and shape of the boats, the chance of coincidence is very low, and this area must have been fenced off intentionally.
This situation made them feel that there seemed to be something in this area of three to four meters. They focused the light on this area, and the three people moved back and forth. The water became more turbid, and their eyes could hardly see anything.
They could only touch it with their hands. Finally, they touched an iron ring in this three- to four-meter-square area. The iron ring may not be accurate because it was not clear at the time, but the ring was definitely a metal ring with a diameter of twenty centimeters.
about.
The iron ring was fixed to the bottom of the water by something unknown. One of the people tried to pull it. It was just a pull. It didn’t use much force, but it brought unexpected consequences. This area of three to four meters
It seemed as if it sank down suddenly under the pull of the iron ring, turning into a big hole, and water flowed into it along the big hole.
The specific situation at that time is difficult to describe, but the puddle undoubtedly turned into a huge toilet. The three people had almost no room to react and were flushed directly into it.
The bottom of this big hole was like a big bubble under the bottom layer. The water flowing in was immediately dispersed. It was only knee-deep. The three people were thrown hard and were swept far away by the turbulent falling water above. This bubble was completely absorbed.
It was covered with water, but the air inside was still breathable, so they removed the oxygen bottles. However, it was this seemingly ordinary detail that ultimately led to their deaths.
The water falling from above slowly flowed forward. This should be a natural hole with no traces of man-made traces. They thought that since they had already come down, they would follow the direction of the water flow to have a look. However, the bubbles were not too big.
After walking forward for a while, all the water flowed out along a gap that was seven to eight meters long and more than ten centimeters wide. I don’t know exactly where it went.
But right here, they found some bones stuck in the cracks. The three people used to deal with corpses often, and they immediately recognized that they were human bones. They didn't know whether the people died on it or died in the bubbles, and were washed away by the water.
On this side of the gap, the skin and flesh were rotted away, and Xiao Kuai's bones were scattered, leaving only the skull, pelvis and bones stuck.
There was no way to get through this gap. It would be time-consuming and laborious to dig it out and it might not be fruitful. They thought that they would wait for all the water in the puddle to drain away and find a way to get up first. While they were waiting for the water to drain away, they saw bubbles.
There is a large protruding stone inside. This large stone is also covered with water and is not conspicuous. On top of the stone, there is a pile of smaller stones.
These stones caught their attention. As they got closer, the three people discovered that among the smaller stones, there was a long wooden box that was about to rot. The rotten part of the wooden box revealed the contents inside.
Flashing like gold.
The age of the box is unknown, but judging from the situation here, the person who left the box must have been in a hurry. He left the box here in a hurry and pressed it down with stones. He may have thought of taking it away later, but due to various unknown reasons
, the box has been left behind.
The three dirtbags were all veterans, but the environment inside the bubble paralyzed them. There could not be any mechanism in this place, and the person who left the box was in a hurry. There should not be any defensive trap. They carefully removed it.
rocks, and then remove the box. The box is very heavy and the wood on the top is terrible.
The box was obviously not what these three people were looking for. The box was just an accidental discovery. However, the golden color that kept flickering among the rough wood made them feel that this was a gain, so one of them opened the box.
There is an old saying in the field of soil crawlers that most people who are good at swimming die in the water, and most experienced people who go into the pit die in the pit. When this seemingly rotten box was opened, there was a burst of darkness.
The mist sprayed out loudly. The two people in front were close to the box and began to twitch and faint. The man behind also inhaled a little black mist and felt a little bitter. He took the medicine with him and took it immediately, but it was too late.
.
However, the black mist he breathed in was very small, and he didn't have an attack for a while. He dragged his two companions who were collapsed in the water to the big rocks. Their heartbeats were like drums, pounding non-stop, and their hearts seemed to be beating at any time.
It would come out of the chest. He analyzed that the black mist should be a poison he had never seen before, because although the hearts of the two companions were still beating, starting from the face, the entire body slowly turned black, as if there was melanin along it.
Blood vessels, large and small, are spreading.
About ten minutes later, the person died. His breathing and heartbeat disappeared, and his body was like a splash of ink, mottled and eerie. The water in the puddle had almost flowed away along the hole above. Those who survived did not know what to do.
What to do, but as a person who has been struggling on the edge of a knife, he acted very decisively. When he saw that his companions could not be saved, he immediately began to retreat.
He came out along the three to four-meter hole, and then ran all the way, thinking about the place where people lived. During this period, the little bit of black mist he inhaled began to take effect. His face, neck, and arms gradually appeared like black threads.
The lines are like the bright red blood in the body being replaced by a black liquid.
"It's a strain of three corpse mushrooms." Wu Sizang said: "That man can't be saved. As soon as he dies, his body cavity will be filled with three corpse mushrooms."
After this man died, Wu Si Zang immediately dug a pit and buried him deeply. Otherwise, the three corpse mushrooms growing on his body were enough to poison everyone in the village. At this time, Wu Si Zang actually did not hit the long metal strip.
Rong Jia originally thought it was a large piece of gold, but when Wu Sizang said it wasn't, he was a little disappointed.
Knowing that this thing is not gold, its status in Rong Jia's heart is greatly reduced, and it is something obtained from a dead person, which is very unlucky. If it does not have huge value, this kind of bad luck is not worth bearing. So Rong Jia and Wu Si
Wu Zang discussed it and said that if Wu Si Zang wanted this thing, he could exchange it with him.
Wu Sizang didn't know the origin and use of this long metal strip, because there was nothing on it except a dent. However, he had always been interested in these weird gadgets, so he took some money to exchange them with Rong Jia.
Came over.
"Erudite Wu Si Zang, I thought you could see something, but I didn't expect you would be helpless at times."
Jinpu Ngawang said something casually, and Usizang showed a wry smile. He squeezed the metal strip in his hand and shook his head.
At this time, both Mustache and Jinpu Ngawang had noticed that Usizang seemed to have something he had not finished saying, but he swallowed it back. Mustache was not familiar with him, but Jinpu Ngawang had no inhibitions and shook his hands.
Wu Sizang took the tea bowl away from his hand and said, "Wusizang, what do you have to say? Do you still need to hide it from me?"
"If you hadn't taken out this metal bar, I wouldn't have said anything about it." Wu Sizang thought for a while and said, "I don't know if I think too much, but some things are indeed like that.
"
After Wu Sizang exchanged the metal bar from Rong Jia, he studied it for a month and found nothing, so he stored the metal bar. In his opinion, the matter was over. In fact, it was almost two years after the incident.
It was indeed very peaceful during the year. But more than two months ago, someone from the neighboring village came to report that someone in their village had died and a funeral was to be held. The relationship between the two villages was relatively harmonious, and they would interact with each other during official events. Originally,
Wu Sizang was not interested in such common facts, but he heard that the person who died was Rong Jia.
Tree burials and some cremations have always been popular in the area. When Wu Sizang arrived there, Rong Jia's body had not yet been buried. Rong Jia's family members and several elders in the village saw Wu Sizang coming and pulled him away.
They went to one side to talk. They said that Rong Jia seemed to have died of illness. The illness was very severe. He said he felt unwell in the evening the night before, and ended up kicking his legs before he could make it through the night. Wu Si Zang knew the witch doctor, but there was no time to come and invite him.
Everyone in the village thought that Rong Jia was seriously ill. Only his wife and children expressed doubts. A woman and two children who were not yet adults could not explain it clearly. Finally, Rong Jia's wife took Wu Sizang to have a look at Rong Jia.
