The woman with pink complexion and picturesque features was holding a pottery bowl in her black cloth-covered hands. She was looking at the dark car curtain in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.
The meat bones and mushrooms in the earthenware bowl gradually cool down.
The woman put the bowl aside, took off the black cloth bag that wrapped her hands, revealing a pair of palms covered with a layer of yellow mud shell. She moved her fingers slightly, and the mud shell skin immediately cracked, and traces of blood flowed from the cracks.
seeped out.
——The yellow mud shell covering the woman’s body is actually like her skin!
As soon as the skin cracks, blood will gush out from under the skin!
The 'proprietor' frowned and looked at his cracked hands, gently raised his arms, and slowly uncovered the cloth wrapped around his neck.
Under the cloth towel, his neck was exposed, which was also covered with a layer of yellow mud shell.
She picked up the mirror, looked at her neck which was not getting any better, and couldn't help but sigh.
While she was checking her condition, the yellow mud shell that spread to her neck gradually progressed and spread upwards - the yellow mud shell covered her chin, lips, and the bridge of her nose...
In the end it stopped at the forehead.
The bowl of broth stewed with grass of life and death that she drank earlier, and even the few grass of life and death that she ate, only temporarily suppressed the spread of the yellow mud shell on her body!
The medicinal properties of the grass of life and death disappeared in a short period of time, and the strange disease on this woman continued to develop again!
“The loess is buried deep in my neck and is about to submerge my scalp. I wonder how long it can last?
Can I still see my husband before I die?"
The woman whispered to herself.
The sound is weird.
She put the mirror away, pushed the pottery bowl to the edge of the carriage, and sat in the carriage, motionless.
Outside the carriage.
Members of the horse gang stood or sat beside a cart of goods.
They held pottery bowls and chopsticks made of tree branches, and ate happily.
Drink up the soup and eat all the meat and mushrooms.
After dinner, people sat on the floor, took off their shoes and socks, and looked at the soles of their feet.
The soles of these people's feet were also covered with yellow mud shells. Now as they ate the broth stewed with the grass of life and death, the yellow mud shells on the soles of their feet gradually faded away.
But the cracked skin in the yellow mud shell state is still covered with bloody cracks.
A trace of blood seeped out from the skin of the sole of the foot.
"If you drink this bowl of broth, you can last for another three to five days, right?
This time we traveled all the way from the land of Sichuan and Sichuan to the Hidden Territory to do business. We didn’t make much money, but each of us risked most of our lives.” In the crowd, a man with a sinister face tied his socks and put on his shoes.
, while joking with the other companions.
"Hi!
In this world where treachery is rampant, if we engage in such a life-saving business, sooner or later something will happen to us!
If you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?
In the past, when we encountered those terrible things, we were lucky enough to be able to escape with our own unique methods.
The severe treacherous thing we encountered this time is extraordinary - we are very lucky to be able to save our lives after encountering that severe treacherous thing. Any extra day we can survive is all attributed to Yan.
The prince's advantage!" Chang Chun, the translator of the caravan, threw down the cleanly chewed big bones in the bowl and said with a smile.
His words made all his companions echo.
"Yes! Mr. Chang is right!"
"Anyway, I have made a lot of money, which is enough for my wife, children, and children to spend for the rest of my life. I have no regrets!"
"Don't be so dejected. Maybe when we take this trip to the hidden area, we can encounter the seven-leaf grass of life and death. By then, we won't be able to take advantage of the Lord of Hell for a day or two!"
"Yeah, what's the point of saying those depressing words!"
People yelled and laughed for a while, and some people collected the dishes and went to the river to wash the dishes;
Someone organizes the goods and maintains the tent;
Some people gathered with Ma Guotou to discuss the route to take tomorrow.
It's getting dark.
Several fires were lit in the caravan's temporary camp.
The businessman "Chen Bing" who had sold Su Wu two ring-headed swords at a low price organized the goods and went to greet Ma Guotou first. Then he called a few tall young men and went to a cart.
Before, a black box was unloaded from the truck.
Opening the black box, the stone that is as tall as a person and covered with cracks appears in everyone's sight.
“Donkeyu’s Garbu!
A piece of broken stone robbed me of fifteen pieces of Sichuan brocade!"
Chen Bing spat hard, turned to look at Ma Guotou, who was discussing matters with Erguotou and Sanguotou, and shouted: "Guotou, let's open this stone!"
"Go ahead and dig it!"
"Just open it!"
The three pot heads responded one after another.
They had probably already discussed the matter, and after saying a few words each, they stood up one after another.
After patting the dust on his buttocks, Ma Guotou ‘Zhou Bo’ led Er Guotou and San Guotou to Chen Bing’s side.
Seeing this, other people who were bored in the camp also came over.
"There are so many cracks in this stone that a hammer and chisel can open them all..."
"You don't dare to use that much force, right? What if there really is a whole piece of jasper inside?"
"Is that Gabu so good?
Stop dreaming!
He might have explored this stone beforehand!"
"..."
While everyone was talking, several young people had already moved the stone out of the box, each holding a hammer and chisel, and started banging along the cracks on the stone.
Layers of stone skin fell off one after another as several people knocked on it.
On the spot that once showed a bit of green light, after the stone skin and stone chips fell off, a piece of jade material with a moist head and a delicate texture was revealed.
Seeing the piece of jade material as big as a fist, the caravan members, who were all talking about it and including a few words of greetings to Gabu and his relatives from time to time, were suddenly stunned for a while.
Then, a burst of laughter rang out from the crowd.
"Hahaha!
We actually picked it up!"
"Old Gabu dog, you have no eyesight!"
"This jade material is definitely bigger than a fist. Fifteen pieces of Shu brocade bought this stone, it is worth it!"
"It's better not to be too happy too early, what if you suddenly can't get the jade out later? Be patient and don't be impatient, be patient and don't be impatient..."
People's discussions became less and less as the stone skin peeled off layer by layer.
Finally, the stone skin on the entire strip of stone was chiselled cleanly.
And all the caravan members surrounding the jade material that revealed its full appearance had solemn expressions on their faces.
There was silence everywhere!
——The jade material with all the stone skin peeled off is as tall as a person.
The whole piece of jade is turquoise in color, beautiful under the firelight, and has a moist head - this is an excellent piece of jade that is as tall as a person!
This piece of dark green jadeite was carved into a lifelike woman.
The woman's face is like an upside-down peach, with the peach's slender handle becoming the woman's neck.
She wore a thick robe, and her hands were not visible in the sleeves.
The robe is covered with "longevity" patterns.
A whole piece of jadeite as tall as a person appeared in a stone. Although there is no such thing in a million, and such a large jade is a priceless treasure, it is still common sense.
Within conjecture.
However, if this piece of jade is more like a naturally carved female statue——
The whole thing became weird!
The firelight illuminated the small strawberry-like lips of the jade carving woman on the ground, as well as her two eyes as big as apples. The eyes seemed to be shining with luster. The caravan members who looked into her eyes shuddered suddenly, and suddenly felt the surroundings passing by.
The wind is much colder.
Although people gather in groups around the jade sculpture, everyone has a strong sense of coldness in their hearts - a feeling that even people living in groups cannot dispel!
"Who can put a jade sculpture in a stone?"
"Although this stone is full of cracks, it is definitely not something that can be faked in the secret realm. The stone is real, and the jade carvings in the stone are also real!"
"Jade carvings are naturally formed..."
"Jade has spirituality, but it was shaped by God into such a weird woman... This is definitely not a good thing!"
Amid people's low discussions, Ma Guotou stared at the jade carving of a woman on the ground for a long time. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was an unspeakable evil aura in this jade carving. The thick robe full of longevity patterns made him feel deep in his heart.
Braving the cold.
Listening to the comments of the people around him, he finally raised his head, looked around at the faces of the caravan members, and said solemnly: "Brothers, if there is nothing abnormal about this jade carving, let's take it back to Han Dynasty - it can be sold.
The price is definitely beyond your imagination!
Have you really thought about it?
Should I put down this jade sculpture, or should I continue to carry it and ignore its inherent evil?"
"Throw it away!"
"Ma Guotou, throw away the jade carving!"
"I'm afraid that before we can bring the jade sculpture out of the hidden realm, it will turn into a real person and kill us all!"
Members of the horse gang spoke out one after another.
Their opinions were surprisingly unanimous.
"Okay." Ma Guotou 'Zhou Bo' nodded and said, "I'll discuss it with the proprietor."
After speaking, he walked to the proprietor's carriage and whispered a few words to it.
After receiving the reply, Zhou Bo turned back to the crowd and said: "The proprietor agrees.
Put the jade carving into a box and sink it into the river at the foot of the hillside.
Let’s set off immediately and not stop here!”
People moved when they heard the sound.
Some people packed the tents, some carried the goods, and some brought the horses.
Ma Guotou led a few young men to put the jade carvings into wooden boxes and tied them tightly with ropes. They hung a pole on the knots and carried the wooden boxes to the river at the foot of the hillside. They pushed the wooden boxes directly in.
In the river!
Seeing the wooden box flying down the fast river and disappearing instantly, Zhou Bo and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
They held torches and turned back to the camp.
Everything is ready.
The caravan set off again.
In the river below the hillside, the water surges violently.
The black wooden box that had been swept up by the waves at the bottom of the river suddenly floated up from the water.
The wooden box was pushed by the river water and lay across the bend of the river.
The waves splashed and hit the wooden box.
Amidst the waves of waves, the lid of the wooden box was pushed up by a force - the ropes tied to the box broke, and a white, slender snake-like arm stretched out of the wooden box.
