"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 had been cut off from oxygen at the bottom of the water all year round, and were soaked in coffin liquid for antisepsis, so they had no smell.
But just a day or two after taking it up, 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, 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 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.
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 closer to the black line hanging from the female corpse's mouth.
"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 craftsmanship was popular. 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.
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?
Women during the Warring States Period began to use dental floss to straighten their teeth? Were there dentists back then?
I have never heard of such a thing.
I caught the duck, looked at the duck and said, "Brother, what do you mean?"
"Are you trying 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. Also, 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 flashing its wings 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 wasn't trying to scare me before...the small pills she gave me and Dou Sprout Zai were similar to painkillers, only treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
"Buzz...buzz."
Just then, the phone vibrated.
I picked up the phone on the floor and said "Hello?"
It'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 my point of view."
"Where are you?"
I gently opened the window a crack and looked outside.
It's still dark, and the entire Xingfu Village is dark. It's impossible to tell where Achun is looking at us.
"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 over to get it. 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 what was going on 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 and get your eyebrows painted."
Brother Yu said with a cold face: "It's funny? I don't think so. Besides, what does my ability to draw my eyebrows have to do with you, a woman?"
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 now, 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. "
"Beep..." Achun 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.
After waiting for almost 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?"
I saw the time Achun mentioned, but the temple was empty, not to mention people, not even a ghost.
I was 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 is all yellow in color. It is either a golden retriever or a relatively large rural dog, a pastoral dog. The big dog held a basket in its mouth, got on all fours, and ran downstairs grunting.
It put down the basket and barked at us.
"dog basket"? I was shocked
This...isn't this the big yellow dog that Lao Hu raised? ?
When we came to Daoxian, we entered Guizailing for the first time. It was noon that day, and Lao Hu came with a stick and a dog to drive us away. That dog was yelling at us crazily, yes, that’s right, it was this one!
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 so much.
"Woof!"
The old yellow dog barked under the window again, as if urging.
Putting the female body'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 with no label in the middle of the basket.
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 a few dozen meters, this old yellow dog looked back at us.
Smiled a little.
