"Is this person...is this person your grandfather?" Xiong Ming asked, looking at the angry-eyed man on the black and white TV. "Did they bring this coffin to this village, causing all 32 people in Biluo Village to die overnight? Or, was this coffin always under the village of Biluo Village? , let them pour it out?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. To be honest, I really can't guess what happened back then. However, compared with what happened sixty years ago, I want to know who released this video more now." from?"
I looked at the flashing freeze-frame on the black and white TV, frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "I don't know what the guy behind the scenes wants to do with so many things, but one thing is for sure."
Xiong Ming asked in surprise: "Which point?"
I said slowly: "Don't you think that the guy behind the scenes seems to know every move we make? That guy seems to have predicted that we will come here. He has been waiting for us here early in the morning, and then Deliberately letting us see that photo, deliberately letting us see the scene on the TV, and letting us piece together the sixty-year-old event bit by bit just like collecting puzzle pieces..."
Xiong Ming nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't say it, it seems that this is really what he meant. But how did this person know the time and route of our action? Could it be..."
I frowned and whispered: "You are right, I think there is a mole among us."
Xiong Ming frowned and said, "Then who is this mole?"
I didn't speak, but lowered my head and fell into thought.
To be honest, ever since this incident happened, I have always felt like I was being watched, and this feeling mostly came from the people around me.
I don’t know if you have ever had the feeling of being stared at from behind. To describe it, it is like a poisonous snake clinging to your back. It is cold, cunning and dangerous... But when you experience it with your heart, time, it suddenly disappeared.
Before setting off for Biluo Village, I had deliberately interacted with many people, trying to find out the source of that feeling, but it was as if it had never appeared before, with no trace.
It wasn't until I entered Biluo Village that that cold, slippery feeling, like a poisonous snake coiled in my heart, emerged again.
Among the three of us, Xiong Ming and I were brothers who had played together since childhood. I knew in my heart that it couldn’t be him.
Since it's not Xiong Ming, the only possible person is Hua Muling.
If this person is Hua Muling, then many things can be explained clearly. For example, why did she suddenly appear in front of me, and she happened to find the dilapidated house where the one-eyed old man was, and knew that the one-eyed old man was from Biluo Village, and she was right next to me and Xiong Ming sooner or later. When I was about to turn back, I fainted outside Biluo Village...
If the coincidence of one thing is an accidental phenomenon with a high probability, then if ten things happen at the same time, it cannot be described as coincidence, but should be called inevitable.
Thinking of this, I let out a long sigh. Although I was a little unwilling to admit that Hua Muling was the mole among us, I couldn't deny what I saw.
I struggled for a while, and finally raised my head to glance at Xiong Ming, and then turned my head slightly towards the back room.
I didn't speak, but Xiong Ming and I had been playing together since we were young, and we could tell what each other was thinking just by looking at each other, so Xiong Ming walked into the back room first without me having to say anything.
However, when Xiong Ming and I walked into the back room, what we saw in front of us made us both stunned almost at the same time.
Because there was nothing on the big fire kang in the inner room.
Hua Muling, who was originally lying unconscious on it, disappeared without a trace.
Xiong Ming shouted in surprise: "Master, where is he? When did he disappear? Why is there no movement at all?"
I didn't answer Xiong Ming's question. Instead, I rushed to the edge of the fire bed and rummaged carefully.
The quilt that had been laid on the fire bed for a long time brought up a large amount of dust that smelled of mold. I quickly stretched out one hand to cover my mouth and nose to prevent myself from inhaling too much mold, while using the other hand Continue searching quickly.
Sure enough, the hard work paid off. After searching almost the entire inner room, a vague handprint was found in the corner of the fire pit.
The fingerprint was dark red. I dipped a little of it with my hand, and then rubbed it with my index finger and thumb. It was very sticky. I put my finger on the tip of my nose and smelled it again. I smelled a faint fishy smell, like It's blood, but I can't be 100% sure.
However, what I can confirm is that this "bloody handprint" was left not long ago.
After finding this "bloody handprint", I immediately said: "I found it, here it is!"
Hearing what I said, Xiong Ming, who was studying the mirror, immediately jumped on the fire bed and came over. After he saw the bloody handprint, he frowned and said, "Are those four girls from the Hua family injured?"
I shook my head and said, "I'm not sure if this is blood!"
After Xiong Ming heard what I said, he stretched out his hand and touched the bloody fingerprint. After rubbing his thumb and index finger, he brought it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. After a while, he slowly said: "This is not Blood!"
I looked at Xiong Ming and asked with slight surprise: "Are you sure?"
Xiong Ming nodded and said, "I'm sure! I've seen this thing once. If I remember correctly, the locals should call it ambergris."
I asked in surprise: "Ambergris? What is that?"
Xiong Ming frowned and thought for a while, and then said slowly: "This ambergris is a unique herbal medicine of the Siyin Miao people in Guizhou. The quantity is extremely rare, and there are no more people in the world who can make it. This number..." Xiong Ming said and held out three fingers.
I frowned and asked, "No more than thirty people?"
Xiong Ming shook his head and said: "You guessed wrong! There are no more than three people in the world who can make this ambergris."
I was surprised: "What? No more than three people?"
Xiong Ming looked at the unseen expression on my face and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Everything is rare and expensive. It is said that the price of one milliliter of this thing on the black market is far more than one carat of diamonds."
I asked in surprise: "What is this ambergris made of? Is it actually priced at this price?"
Xiong Ming said: "As far as I know, the locals put skinks about 30 centimeters long with red phosphorus and double horns on their backs into clay pots, and feed them cinnabar, gastrodia, Panax notoginseng, and beads every other day. More than 200 kinds of herbs, such as ginseng, gentian, and gallnut, were fed like this for 7749 days, then the clay pot was sealed and buried in a very yin place. After another 7749 days, the Dig out the pottery jar, take out the skinks still alive inside, mix them with the blood from the uterus when the woman had her first period, and submerge them together into juice. The dark red liquid you get in the end is this ambergris liquid."
I watched Xiong Ming talk non-stop for a long time, and I couldn't help but sigh: "Why do you know so much about this thing?"
Xiong Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Because I once asked someone to help me find this thing. Unfortunately, I searched most of China and couldn't find a drop of it. I didn't expect that someone would use it as paint and give him a fingerprint. His grandma's is really a waste of natural resources." !”
I looked at Xiong Ming and asked: "Why are you looking for this kind of thing? You just said it is a herbal medicine, but how come herbal medicines are so expensive? What is it used for? Dali Bear, you fucking are mine Best brother, you better not hide it from me!”
Xiong Ming sighed and smiled bitterly: "Hey! I have nothing to hide from you! Hu Tian, the biggest use of this ambergris is to cure hallucinations!"
I asked in surprise: "What cures hallucinations?"
Xiong Ming nodded and said: "That's right! Simply put, the hallucinations produced by one milliliter of ambergris are hundreds of times more powerful than any illegal pills you see on the market. More importantly, it can be controlled The user's hallucinations, even dreams, allow the user to see everything he should see according to his own preferences."
I was even more surprised and asked: "How is this possible?"
Xiong Ming sighed: "Hu Tian, nothing is impossible in this world! Now that this thing appears here, the path we two have to take next and the people we have to face probably won't be that simple."
I didn't say anything, and stared at the thick and smelly ambergris on my fingertips. Countless questions came to my mind in an instant, "Could it be that what I saw in my dream yesterday afternoon was caused by this thing? So what happened?" Who wants me to see everything in Biluo Village? Is it the man in black? Or someone else? If it’s like I thought before, that person is Hua Muling, but why did she apply it on Are there any clues left here on purpose?"
Countless questions were like invisible threads, tangled up in my entire brain at this time. But just when I was trying to find some clues from these invisible lines, I suddenly heard a crisp "click" sound coming from my side. I quickly came back to my senses and found that it was Xiong Ming who accidentally pressed the button. The mechanism on the wall.
And as the quick stone brick was pressed down by Xiong Ming, the wall with the bloody fingerprints on it suddenly lifted up with a "clatter", revealing a one-meter-square hole.
Xiong Ming looked at me and said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, there is a secret passage!"
The entrance to the secret passage was not big, and it was square. I leaned over and looked inside into the darkness. There was no light at all, but there were faint winds mixed with a putrid smell blowing out from inside, which made people feel very... uncomfortable.
I covered my mouth and nose and couldn't help but step back. Xiong Ming saw this and said with a smile: "I say Hu Tian, after all you are also a descendant of thieves and gold. If your ancestors of thieves see this bearish look, He was probably so angry that he crawled out of the coffin."
When I heard Xiong Ming say this, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him, and cursed in the same way: "Although I am a descendant of thieves, but I have the conscience of heaven and earth. I, Hu Tian, have lived so long to fight upside down, raise coffins, and make money in secret ways." This thing has never been done before. Who hasn’t had a first time? Don’t look at me. Hu Tian is a little uncomfortable now. You can see it. If you encounter any traps or zombie rice dumplings later, don’t you still have hope? Want me to save you?"
Xiong Ming smiled and said: "Yes, yes! You, Hu Tian, are the most powerful. You are the representative figure of the new generation of fighting for gold. Although this is the first time, in time, you, Hu Tian, will definitely become a great player." fiscal!"
Xiong Ming and I said something to each other, and I laughed at each other. However, this is just a habit of relaxing in a tense environment that the two of us have developed over the years.
After a few words, we both let out a long sigh almost at the same time, then turned around and climbed into the one-meter-square secret passage entrance.
