The duck-voiced man said that was fine, so just dig more holes.
Later, I asked someone to bring me the drawings, re-selected two places, and then assigned people to dig holes. When everyone else was busy working, the man with a duck voice walked up to me and whispered to me: "Brother Zhang , tell the truth, do I really not need to deal with this leg?"
I didn’t understand what he meant, so I asked him: “What do you mean to deal with?”
"I'm just saying, don't you need to go to the hospital for treatment? There won't be any root cause of the disease later, right?"
I shook my head and said, "I think your situation is mainly about exorcising evil spirits. Going to the hospital will not have much effect. We have already given you the exorcism medicine. You should be fine in the future. Just wait until the wound heals."
"Okay then." After saying that, the man with the duck voice also called the tall man who had sent the mule away before. He asked the tall man: "What's going on with the mule?"
The tall man probably saw me in front of him and was a little unsure whether to tell the truth or not. The man with the duck voice said to him: "I have already told him to give up the mule. You can say whatever you want."
The tall man then said: "After I sent the mule away, he suddenly screamed again. There were many bloody wounds on his body, and he bled to death in the end."
The duck-voiced man sighed and said, "Well, I guess it was because I kept pricking him with a steel drill when I was breaking through the roof of the tomb chamber. He was impaled to death. This guy is quite pitiful."
Seeing the duck-voiced man pretending to be compassionate, I couldn't help cursing in my heart: "You look pretty similar to me in front of your own people, but you still don't know why you are so disdainful."
For the rest of the day, most people continued to dig holes, and I would go to the poisonous hole from time to time and use a dog oil lamp to test it. As a result, the poison gas completely destroyed the dog oil lamp every time, that is, He said that he has never been able to go to the grave, which made me very anxious.
Zhao Hu and I also used some methods to exorcise evil spirits in the cave. Whether it was the exorcism methods in my family's ancient books or the methods Uncle Su taught us, we have used them all, but to no avail.
It feels like the poisonous gas seeping out of the tomb is real poisonous gas, not evil. But if it is real poisonous gas, we have let it dry for so long, why does the poisonous gas never dissipate?
Is there something inside that is constantly emitting poisonous gas?
How strange.
When it was almost morning, we called it a day and returned to the city. As for the two newly dug holes, we had not drilled them to the end. The man with the duck voice originally planned to let his people continue to dig down during the day, but his Everyone said they hadn’t had a good rest in the past two days and wanted to take a day off, so we all stopped working.
When the three of us brothers were walking back with the short-haired girl, Zhao Hu asked me: "Why is it that when we use steel to pierce those tombs, the pain is transmitted to people?"
I said I'm not God, how do I know?
Zhao Hu said: "Every time we went to touch the hall before, no matter what difficult and complicated diseases we encountered, you could find a way to solve them. Why can't you solve them this time?"
I said that what happened this time was really evil, and I felt like I had no way of starting. The main reason was that there were no records of this kind of tomb from ancient times to the present. It felt like a hodgepodge.
Zhao Hu said jokingly: "Are we sure we continue to touch it? I'd better not touch it. Otherwise, when I use the steel drill to prick it tomorrow night, retribution will come to me, and I will have a few holes in my body to be repaired. ?”
The pigtails immediately clapped their hands and applauded: "If it pricks you, that would be a good feeling."
"Go away, you fucking want me to die?"
"Why, didn't you say it yourself?"
Zhao Hu ignored the braid and asked me, "Think about it seriously. If each robber hole corresponds to a person, how many people would we have to pierce to get into the tomb?"
I said, "Maybe when we go there tomorrow, we might be able to get into that poisonous cave."
Zhao Hu said it was a bit suspenseful. After all, we waited all night and the poisonous gas inside showed no sign of dissipating.
The pigtail said, "If that doesn't work, let's get some gas masks. Sister Yuan can handle it anyway."
I said that if it was ordinary poisonous gas, it would be no problem to use a gas mask, but there is obviously something fishy about this tomb. If something unexpected happens when we go in, and our gas mask falls off, we will still be dead, so in the end In the case of insurance, you still need to make sure that the air can be inhaled normally.
"By the way, can we do it the other way around?" the short-haired woman said suddenly.
"In reverse?" I didn't understand what the short-haired woman meant: "Of course, what do you mean in reverse?"
The short-haired woman said: "When we use a steel drill to drill holes, won't there be holes in people's bodies?"
"Um."
"Does that mean that the person is the tomb, and the tomb is the person? Can we do the opposite and find cultural relics directly on the person without going into the tomb at all?"
As soon as the short-haired woman finished speaking, Zhao Hu immediately laughed. Zhao Hu said, "You mean, each of us is a tomb. Does that mean my liver is filled with gold and silver jewelry? Your thighs or buttocks are also filled with gold and silver jewelry." All of them? Haha, you’re going to make me laugh to death.”
The short-haired woman said: "I don't mean to take out cultural relics directly from people's bodies. I also provide an idea, that is, the tomb and the person are one. We can work on the person to see if we can find the tomb through the person. Real entrance or find other clues.”
As soon as the short-haired girl said this, my heart skipped a beat, and I said, "Don't tell me yet, you can really try this idea. However, you are really amazing. You are going to make a great contribution this time."
Zhao Hu curled his lips and looked at me: "No, are you flattering her here, or do you really think this will work?"
I said, of course it can really work. Anyway, there is no other way now. Why not follow this idea and think about it, just in case the secret comes.
"Then who should we start with now?"
I said that we have dug two robbery holes. The people corresponding to the two robbery holes are a duck-voiced man and a mule. The mule is dead, so we will start with the duck-voiced man, but the mule is not useless either. No more. Maybe if we find his body and make some fuss about his body, we can get some clues.
"Then why don't you make a call quickly, in case they dispose of the body secretly." Xiao Zhuzi said anxiously.
I didn't have any ink marks either, so I immediately called the man with a duck voice. After he answered, I told him not to deal with the mule's body in a hurry, but to keep it for my use.
When the mule heard this, he asked with some confusion: "Huh? His body is useful? What do you want his body for?"
"Anyway, just keep it for me for now. I'll tell you when we meet in the evening."
"Then I have to get this body somewhere else. I can't let other people know about it. They don't know that the mule is dead yet."
"OK."
