Cat Gu Notes

Chapter 12

Shen Xiongda. "

Before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind extinguished the candle.Xia Mingruo's gaze flashed, and he punched hard in the darkness, only to hear a muffled sound, followed by a painful groan.The uncle lit the candle again, and threw the unburnt matchstick at the thin man who was coughing fiercely in the corner: "You're playing dirty? Bah!"

The skinny man fell into the pile of human sacrifices, crushing several dry bones.

Xia Mingruo stole a glance at Chu Haiyang, and lowered his head honestly: "I destroyed the cultural relics, go back and write an inspection." He raised his chin to the skinny man: "Remember to eat more, it hurts your hands."

The thin man held his chest and spat hard.

Leopard finally came to his senses: "Hey, old man?!"

"You're eating and crawling around!" The skinny man quickly raised a pistol, "Stand up for me! Go there! Stand up! Leopard, stand over there too!"

He even hid a gun!The rest did not dare to neglect, and moved in small steps.

"Neglect," the uncle said through his teeth, "this man is different from a leopard, at least he has robbed tombs with masters, and he also likes to wrap things up and hide them in his crotch..."

Xia Mingruo also regretted and said, "I would have taken off his underpants if I knew it earlier. A civilized person like me is timid in doing things."

"Don't mutter!" The skinny man shouted hoarsely, "Okay, you guys joined forces, right? I fucking woke up a long time ago! Everyone woke up! Okay, you guys!"

He kicked a broken pottery shard under his feet far away, and the shard flew into a dark corner, but there was an empty sound of "poof".

Several people were stunned, the thin man snatched the candle and shone it into the corner, but he burst out laughing almost crazily after taking a photo: "Odd! Obedient!"

There is a pot in the corner, about thirty centimeters high, with a wide mouth, two ears, small feet, and a ring bottom. The problem is that it is not a clay pot, but a jade pot, a complete sapphire pot.

The priceless sapphire pot, reflecting the clear and cold light, appeared in a place that had long been patronized by tomb robbers, standing alone in the corner.

The thin man touched it impatiently.The uncle's face changed: "Don't touch it!"

The thin man had already hugged the pot in his arms, snatched the equipment bag from Xia Mingruo's back, his expression was distorted with joy, and he said with a chuckle, "What?"

Chu Haiyang also thought of something in a blink of an eye, and said hurriedly: "Put it down! Put it down! It's dangerous!"

"What? What are you talking about?" The thin man chuckled, waved his pistol, and hugged the jar even tighter, "Now I'm going out, I'm going out and blowing up the hole, you won't be able to get out haha, I'll suffocate you! Starve you to death!"

"How the hell can you go out!" Leopard said, "It's flooded outside!"

"He can get out," Chu Haiyang sighed softly, and pouted towards the entrance of the cave he just crawled in, "The water level has not risen any more. We were confused by the big tide just now, but we can actually swim out against the current by touching the top of the tomb passage. "

The thin man giggled strangely, climbed out of the cave, and then poked his head back and sang in an extremely ugly way: "Goodbye! Ah, that morning, I woke up from my dream, O friend, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. Oh friend, goodbye... Hey Hey Hey……"

His voice faded away.When the candle was extinguished, the uncle moved his hands and feet, struck a match, and lit the candle: "Goodbye."

Chu Haiyang shrugged: "Good-bye, good-bye, after you die, I will never bury you on a high mountain."

Xia Mingruo looked at the uncle puzzled: "May I ask how many things are in your crotch?"

The uncle shook his head and smiled mysteriously and triumphantly.

Leopard said: "Old man..."

The uncle said: "Goodbye."

The leopard jumped up and said: "Really...really...goodbye? Then we! Then we..."

"It's not us," Chu Haiyang said, "It's him."

Uncle interface: "Because that jar really can't be touched."

"Why?" Leopard asked.

Chu Haiyang and the uncle looked up at each other: "Don't believe the explanation."

Xia Mingruo said happily, "Okay, let me tell you."

Leopard took three big steps back and said, "No, thank you, I beg you, brother, please don't open your mouth."

"Okay, let me talk." The uncle groped for a while, took out a greased paper bag, opened it, and distributed the remaining few low-quality candies to them.

Xia Mingruo peeled off the candy wrapper: "Excuse me, where do you hide the food?"

The uncle asked with concern: "What? If you don't like the orange flavor, return it to Uncle if you don't like it."

"Send charcoal in the snow." Xia Mingruo quickly threw the candy into his mouth, rubbed his eyes and said, "I had some signs of hypoglycemia just now, and I'm really hungry today. Haiyang, are you hungry?"

Chu Haiyang said angrily, "I'm not as promising as you. I'm like a boy from the Eight Banners. Cough, uncle, is there anything to eat?"

The uncle shook his head, but the leopard began to rummage through his trouser pocket, which was also an oiled paper bag: "I still have two pieces of foreign candy left, which was given by the old white Russian lady on our street. It's a bit melted."

"Thank you," Chu Haiyang took it over, and gave each of Xia Mingruo and the uncle half a piece of chocolate, "Chocolate, a rare thing, if you don't enter this ancient tomb, you won't be blessed. Everyone, let's rest for a few minutes. can not go out."

"Agreed," said the uncle, "I happened to be smoking a cigarette, oh yes, Leopard, let me tell you."

Leopard knew that this man had a lot of background, and now that he had no weapons in his hands, he had no choice but to listen carefully.

"For example," said the uncle, "for example, if you break into a house and want to steal something, it turns out that someone has come first, and all the treasures in the room are swept away, leaving only the owner's urn. Do you want to take that?" Just a box?"

Xia Mingruo said, "I'll take it."

"The two of you are out of the scope of the discussion." The uncle said, "Archaeologists are all of this virtue. The Sanguang policy, I can't wait to gnaw off a layer of land. Last time you excavated the Han tomb in Changsha, even the maggots in the coffin Just take it all away."

Leopard hesitated and said, "If it's worth money..."

"It's valuable, it's very valuable." The uncle took a puff on his cigarette, "But what if I tell you that the master died of a strange illness?"

"This..." Leopard said, "I can't pass others? It's very unlucky."

"What if I tell you again that the previous thief also died of this strange disease?"

"..."

"Don't you dare?" said the uncle, "but your brother took it."

"What?" Leopard jumped up, "The jar? Ashes?"

"It's not as good as ashes," Chu Haiyang said, "it's bones, and the bones of the empress are inside. Do you understand what this means?"

Leopard said seriously, "I don't understand."

"Ah!" Xia Mingruo thumped the ground for a while, "It seems that science popularization still depends on Xia Mingruo!"

"Leopard," Xia Mingruo said, "just now my uncle mentioned strange diseases. Let me just talk about infectious diseases. Severe infectious diseases, such as cholera and plague, even the things used by the patients have to be destroyed and buried, let alone the dead. The patients passed away. , Burning ashes can block the infection, but it is not necessarily the case that still retains the bones, especially some unknown diseases."

"You mean your mother has an infectious disease?" Leopard said.

"Not necessarily, it might be poisoned, or parasitized by strange things." Chu Haiyang said, "But she died of this, and she was still contagious long after death."

"how do you know?"

Xia Mingruo laughed and said, "How do I know? I'm the only person in the whole world who has cat Gu! I just figured it out 5 minutes ago, and I also know that the symptom of this disease is white hair. I guess it's mycelium, in short, the vitality Be tenacious and regenerate when certain conditions are met.”

"Impossible!" Leopard still didn't believe it, "It's all bones..."

Xia Mingruo thought for a while and said, "There is a book in the Tang Dynasty called "Bo Yi Miscellaneous Knowledge". It has a strong sense of strangeness. Generally, it can only be read as a novel. Now I suspect that one of the stories is about the Empress's Tomb." Ming Cui In the large tomb in the mountains, there were zombies living there for 1000 years. In Jianwu, the two thieves were married to ten generations of murderers. The tomb was made of gold and jade artifacts. I got a jade coffin. There was a silver bottle in front of the coffin. The murderers competed to drink it. It smells like a vase in the world, when the murderer comes out of the tomb, his flesh and blood turn to ashes. 'Jianwu is the year name of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and Mingcui Mountain may be the ancient name of Yongcui Mountain. Uncle, what do you think?"

The uncle nodded: "It makes sense."

"I guess, you have more experience, and Haiyang and I still lack practice." He stood up and asked, "Let's go too."

The uncle stubbed out the cigarette butt on the wet wall, and they climbed out of the hole one by one, preparing to float out.As expected, the water level did not rise, but instead dropped by three to five centimeters according to Chu Haiyang's precise measurement.At this height, Chu Haiyang happened to be submerged, and the others worked even harder.

The leopard had no hair, and was forced to tie a candle to its forehead by the rest of the people. From time to time, it was scalded by the dripping wax and screamed.

The uncle sank under the water, and he couldn't see anything in a pool of muddy water. He found the sarcophagus by feeling, and patted it, meaning brother, let's go first.

He floated up, and the leopard asked him: "The one in the jar is the empress, so who is this?"

The uncle said: "It's a pity, this is the comrade who was in the same trench with us in the Han Dynasty, and he couldn't help but hold the sapphire bone jar when he was alive."

The leopard's head was covered with cold sweat.

Chu Haiyang smiled and asked: "If we don't tell you, you can take it?"

Xia Mingruo raised his hand and said, "I will definitely take it."

Chu Haiyang urged: "Swim faster! How come there are so many nonsense."

The current was gentle, and there was a small whirlpool near the tomb door, Chu Haiyang slipped under his feet and passed.The uncle signaled the leopard to put out the candles, then touched the top of the tomb passage with both hands, and moved forward by feeling. Xia Mingruo and Chu Haiyang followed closely behind, and the leopard broke behind.

In order to keep in touch, the uncle kept humming and chirping: "Swallows hold mud to make their nests -- it's hard to tell if there is love or not, it's hard to tell if you are in love, you have to learn how to communicate with each other. Eh, oh, Yang Likun grows up
