Before he finished speaking, I was kicked by someone in the face. I almost fainted from the kick. Then I heard the sound of cracking wood boards, and I didn’t know what happened. , In a panic, I hurriedly lit the torch and took a closer look. I saw Lao Xia was wrestling with something and had rolled into the pile of coffins. The whole row of coffins was knocked upside down and human bones were scattered on the ground.

I hurried up to help, but found that I couldn't help. The thing was not big, but it was very powerful. Even Lao Itch's weight of more than 100 kilograms couldn't hold it down. The two of them rolled over each other and went on a rampage. I couldn't hold it down at all. He couldn't get close to me, and he would get kicked inexplicably if he didn't get close enough. I couldn't get into the battle group after several attempts, so I had no choice but to stand outside and do the key work.

After a while, Lao Itch couldn't hold on any longer. The thing almost managed to get away several times. When I saw that I couldn't go any further, I had to call Master Liang, and the two of them jumped on Lao Itch, one at a time, and pulled Lao Itch away. Itch and the thing were pressed under his body. Lao Itch didn't expect that I would come up with this move. He was so suppressed that he yelled: "Take it easy! My spine is going to be broken."

I pressed Laoitch hard and pressed the weight of the three people completely on the thing below. When I found that there was no movement, I asked him: "How is it? Is that thing dead?"

Lao Itch squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "I don't know! But if you don't fucking let go, I'll die!"

I saw that his face was red from suppressing it, and I knew that my weight was indeed heavy, so I quickly removed my strength. Lao Itchy turned over, let out a sigh of relief, and said to me: "You—you are too damn cruel. Don’t you think it was okay to stack up with seven or eight people when I was a kid? Fortunately, I have a strong backbone, otherwise I would have been half paralyzed!”

I said, why are you wordy? If you hadn't been able to handle that thing, would I still be stacking Arhats at such an old age? If you lose your waist, it won’t be easy for me either.

After hearing this, Lao Itch rubbed his waist and cursed me for being heartless. I ignored him and turned to Master Liang and said, "Speaking of which, what is that thing? Why is it that it is not very strong but is amazingly strong? You have to be careful." have a look."

After hearing what I said, the three of them came to their senses. We looked over and saw a gray fluffy thing in the pile of coffins, about the size of a lynx, which was crushed flat by us. Still shaking.

Lao Itch picked up a human thigh bone. I turned the thing over and saw, "Fuck!" Having been in trouble for so long, Ganqing is a big rat. I looked at Lao Chi and Master Liang, and they looked at me. All three of them smiled. No wonder they couldn't find the attacker no matter how hard they searched. It turned out to be this. After this rat attacked us, he must have randomly believed that the hole in any coffin was drilled, and all traces of it were traced. We abs thought we had met a ghost. It was really an old hen calling herself mom--it was the one who made it (to scare ourselves).

But then I thought about it and felt it was inappropriate, this mouse. His mother is too big,

The whole thing is bigger than a cat, and I don’t know what kind it is. The coffin here is so shabby, it is probably their work. Maybe they will grow up eating the corpses in the coffins. I don’t know how many such mice there are in the thousands of coffins. If you encounter a group of them, you will be unable to eat them.

Lao Itch had the same thought as me. After smiling for a moment, his expression changed and he said, "No, this rat emperor was crushed to death by us. I don't know if his rat descendants will cause trouble for us. I think so." No, evacuate, don’t stay at the crime scene.”

I nodded in agreement, Lao Itchy turned his head, and after taking a few steps, he suddenly said: "Hey, that's bad - which way should we go?"

I looked up and saw that there had just been a scuffle, going back and forth, and it was the same before and after. Now it was impossible to tell which direction we came from and which direction we were going to.

Although I have a little feeling in my heart and can vaguely distinguish the correct position, this feeling is too weak. I am almost not sure whether I am really sure that what I am thinking is correct. If I hesitate, this feeling disappears.

Lao Itch looked at it more than a dozen times and saw that there was nothing he could do, so he said to me: "Forget it, the coffin here has been made like this anyway, let's let go and rush over."

I looked at it and still felt something was wrong, so I wanted to ask Master Liang for his opinion. When I turned around, I found that he was not listening to us at all, but was concentrating on cleaning up the bones on the ground.

I felt strange in my heart, so I grabbed Lao Chu, and the two of us leaned over to see what he was doing.

This war between humans and mice involved more than a dozen coffins. These coffins had long since decayed to the point where they were reduced to just a few shapes. Therefore, upon impact, both form and spirit were destroyed. Almost all of them were broken into pieces of wood, and all the bones inside were naturally rolled away. When they fell out, the ground was in a mess. Master Liang didn't know why, but he found these bones one by one from the wood chips and put them aside.

Most of these bones are incomplete. They were probably used as tools for these big rats to grind their teeth. There are holes and holes dug into them. Some of them are hard to tell which bone they belong to.

Seeing that Master Liang was lost in thought, Lao Itch became curious and asked him, "Master, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

Master Liang was startled for a moment, then turned his head and said to me: "It's amazing. I caused trouble for this rat, but he made a mistake, and I discovered a big secret."

I saw his eyes shining, I was inexplicably excited, and I felt even more curious, what kind of secret could this guy's bones have? "

Master Liang asked us to squat down, picked up a bone and gave it to us, and asked: "Two of you, take a look, can you see anything?"

Lao Itch and I looked at each other, not knowing what he was playing. Lao Itch made a very strange smile and said: "Don't you think we are the only ones who are trying to kill people? Let's be honest, let's hurry up and go.

Master Liang smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm so excited that I can't even speak. Don't mind. Let me think about what to say first. Uh - look at the bones. Take a closer look. .”

I took the bone and took a look for myself. I saw a very smooth notch where he pointed. The incision was the same color as the bone, and it must have been older. But Master Liang showed me what the purpose of this was, and I didn't. Have no idea.

Master Liang looked at me with a puzzled look on his face and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't see it. Let me tell you, this bone is the human collarbone, right here." He pointed to his neck and continued, "This is A gap is called an old bone injury. It was caused before death. You can see that the incision is sharp. There is no sign of bone healing at all, which means that the time of this wound is very close to the time of this person's death."

Old Itch is very impatient. Said: "What, the bones are injured, right? It's really pitiful that the bones are injured, but we'd better leave, the torches are all gone."

Master Liang hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Give me another three minutes and I'll finish talking soon!"

I see that he is very excited and will definitely not give up until he makes it clear. Lao Itch's blabbering was only wasting time. He quickly winked at Lao Itch to stop interrupting. He turned to Master Liang and said, "Ignore him, you say."

He swallowed and said: "Where did I just say, oh, the time of this wound is very close to the time of this person's death, I can probably tell. This wound should be the cause of this person's death. The reason why It was at this position that someone probably used a knife to cut off the carotid artery from above the clavicle, and the knife was cut too far, so it cut into the bone."

When I heard this, I was puzzled and asked, "Didn't you say that the person buried in this cave must be a person who died of natural causes? According to you, the owner of this bone was murdered!"

Master Liang gave a weird smile and shook his head: "Not just this one, all the corpses here died like this. You see, there should be 7 clavicle bones here alone, with such cut marks on them, so this is not The cave burials of the Miao people were instead a place of massacre and piles of corpses. I estimate that all of these thousands of people died with their throats cut. If you don’t believe it, we will open all these coffins and it will definitely prove what I said. .”

After Master Liang said this, he looked at me with blazing eyes. I looked at him with my hair straight. I thought to myself, what's wrong with this man? He just piled corpses on the ground. Why did he get so excited? I asked him quickly. He said: "Master Liang, is this the big secret you are talking about?"

Master Liang pretended to be mysterious and said: "No, no, this is just the prologue of the big secret. What I want to say next is the main topic."

Lao Itch was so impatient that he almost fell to the ground when he dismounted and said, "Huh? The ground just now was the prologue. Then wait a moment. Who is that? Lao Wu, please put out the torch first, and then light it again later." Get up, I’ll find a place to lie down for a while.”

Master Liang was completely in the state and didn't take it seriously at all. He took out another piece of something from the fragments of the coffin and said to me: "The big secret is hidden in this thing."

I took it and saw that it was an indescribable thing. It seemed to be a bamboo hat or a part of armor. However, since this thing was not a bone, it must be a dead device. I picked it up and looked at the torch carefully. I was surprised. Said: "Is it a Tatar hat (official hat of the Qing Dynasty?"

Master Liang nodded: "Not bad."

At this time, I don't know whether it was infected by the nervous master or my own intuition. I vaguely felt that what Master Liang said might be really earth-shattering, and I felt cold for a moment.

Master Liang continued: "The official hats of the Qing Dynasty were divided into two types: warm hats and cool hats. Look at this one, it has no lining, it is a cool hat. This man died in summer, and the strangest thing is this thing. He carefully peeled off a piece of something from the fragment of the official hat: "Look, although this piece of thing is inconspicuous, it is the key. Little Brother Wu, you are a sensible person. You will know what this is at a glance." thing."

I was already feeling cold all over. When I followed his intention, I immediately understood that the piece was none other than the fragment of the flower feather on the hat of an upright official. It was probably stuck by the corpse liquid when the corpse was rotting. The hat was put on, and when I took a look, I found that it was still a piece of peacock feathers. I took a deep breath and wore a peacock feather on my head. How could an official of fifth rank or above die in this place?

At this time, Master Liang had already found many more fragments of flower feathers. I counted them and found that they were all peacock feathers. I was shocked. Could it be that all the people listed here were officials? I thought to myself, how could it be possible? All the people in the Qing court There are just a few officials, and there are thousands of corpses here. Killing all the fifth-grade officials is not enough.

Lao Itch saw a strange look on my face and couldn't understand what we were talking about.

He patted me and asked: "Um, have we agreed on the main topic? We really don't have time. You two are so close to each other. Let's talk more slowly when we go back."

I ignored him and asked Master Liang, what was going on? It was really weird that these corpses were piled up here. First of all, since it was a massacre, why would you just throw the corpses away randomly? Put the corpse into the coffin, and secondly, everyone has to arrange the coffin like a strange gate. If you want to trap people, wouldn't it be better to use non-rottable stones?
