Chapter 4 Chapter 4: Acupoints for Hundred Poisonous Insects

Sitting on the jeep, following the stretch of the country road, it is already a field on the outskirts of Xinzheng.It was dusk all around, only the occasional crickets could be heard.Lao Zhong was sorting out related equipment in the back seat, while Lao Miao was driving the car and telling me about his experience with Xiao Nie. Just as tomb robbers are family traditions, a kind of person who has opposed tomb robbers has appeared since the time of the Yellow Emperor, that is, the tomb guards.They are generally close relatives and ministers of the emperor, meritorious children of prominent families, and personal guards of generals.These people loyally guarded the tombs of their family members, friends or admirers, just like the soldiers of General Yuan Chonghuan and their descendants guarded his tomb incognito.These people are incompatible with grave robbers.But there are also some people who used to be tomb robbers due to chance and coincidence, but later became grave guards.Just like the story that Lao Zhong told me.

After liberation, in order to protect the buried tombs and conduct purposeful archaeological excavations, the state set up special patrol teams in the cultural relics departments of some key cultural relics areas.Lao Miao and Xiao Nie belonged to this team. They not only have to protect the tomb from tomb robbers, but even rescue those who are in trouble when necessary.Since Xinzheng City was an important political and cultural center during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period, it also belongs to the scope of Beiman Fengshui treasure land. There are many ancient tombs, and there are more than 10,000 valuable tombs at all levels. It is known as an underground museum.But these tombs contain a large number of funerary objects, but they are also full of dangers, and there are many traps. Many tomb robbers can go down, but can't get out, or they disturb the coffin guards in the tomb, and their deaths are extremely tragic.

One night three days ago, Lao Miao and Xiao Nie patrolled between the tombs of King Han and the tombs of doctors in the east of the city as usual.It was a moonless night, and the military flashlight in his hand pierced the sky one by one.Sometimes, this flashlight is also a warning, more of a threat.In the first half of the night, nothing happened. Lao Miao and the others drove to the tomb of King Zheng in the west of the city, and then returned to the former site of King Han's tomb.Lao Miao has been here for decades and has already been familiar with these terrains.And Xiao Nie is a young man assigned to him by Lao Zhong for understanding Lao Miao's hard work.Just getting into this business, Xiao Nie was at the time when he was fresh and excited, chasing Lao Miao and asking questions, and when he had enough, he began to vividly tell some ghost stories from ancient tombs he had found on the Internet.Just as Xiao Nie was talking about two tomb robbers who had just opened an ancient tomb and found a white figure floating out, Lao Miao grabbed him and motioned him to shut up.Xiao Nie was taken aback, and squatted next to a pile of thorn grass with Lao Miao.

There was no sound of footsteps just now and Xiao Nie's talking and laughing around, and suddenly there was a terrible silence.They held their breath and listened carefully.Only the chirping of summer insects could be heard from the fields far away, and the cold air at a few o'clock in the morning slowly floated up from the surface, combined with the hot air in the air, and white mist rose up, which was very similar to the story of Xiao Nie's ghost just now Ghost of the tomb.About ten minutes later, Lao Miao was still motionless, but Xiao Nie couldn't bear it anymore and was about to speak, but Lao Miao suddenly left him and ran out like an arrow.

Xiao Nie followed closely, and ran about 400 meters away, when Lao Miao suddenly stopped and crouched down.Xiao Nie also stopped and squatted down panting.Although he was a young man, he ran so hard that his breathing was louder than that of an old man.Lao Miao turned around and gave him a dissatisfied look, while Xiao Nie covered her nose vigorously.Under the gloomy sky, at a distance of about 100 meters, a person was lying between the cemeteries. It seemed that he had just opened a robbery hole and was looking inside.Xiao Nie ran up at a brisk pace, ready to catch the current one, but she didn't hear Lao Miao's obstruction at all.

However, when Xiao Nie caught that person, he realized that his body was limp and had already lost its proper elasticity.Before Xiao Nie was surprised, he discovered that the place where the tomb robber was lying was a tomb hole. He just turned it over and saw a stream of light coming out of the hole.A big moth flew out of the streamer. In an instant, the moth flew straight towards Xiao Nie with a stream of light, and Xiao Nie quickly retreated. The moth followed Xiao Nie closely as if it had a spirituality, and flew straight over.In a hurry, Xiao Nie hit the moth with a flashlight.The moth was extremely slow, and Xiao Nie hit it all at once, and it flapped its wings weakly before falling into the robber's hole.Just as Xiao Nie wanted to bend down to check the person in the ground, he saw that the cave seemed to be on fire, and the white fluorescent light pierced into the sky.Not long after, I saw a white fluorescent ball slowly rising from the hole with the size of a washbasin. Under the blue-black night in the early morning, it was like a small white sun rising, exuding a pale and eerie light. .

This small white sun rose strangely in the sky, and there seemed to be many things wriggling in the middle, exuding something.It wasn't until I reached the height of a person that I clearly saw thousands of moths like the one just now, slowly gathering together and flying and wriggling, which made people feel an extreme sense of psychological fear. Xiao Nie stared blankly at these things that suddenly appeared. At this moment, he suddenly felt his feet move. He looked down and saw that the person under his feet moved slowly.Many of these mysterious moths also flew out from under him.It turned out that the tomb robber was killed by these moths.What are these things?Obviously, Xiao Nie was petrified.

As soon as Xiao Nie turned around and found no one behind him, only then did she realize that Lao Miao had quietly retreated more than ten meters away. She saw Lao Miao shining a flashlight on her face, tightly covering her mouth and nose with her hands, and motioned for Xiao Nie to leave. Nie followed his movements and squatted down slowly.Xiao Nie is also very perceptive, so he quickly covered his mouth and nose, and squatted on the ground slowly.And those moths seemed a little anxious when they couldn't find the target for a while. The creeping speed in the middle was getting faster and faster, and the volume was getting bigger and bigger, as if a very impatient little sun was about to explode at any time.At the moment when it was about to explode, suddenly, a black figure rushed over from behind Xiaonie.Hearing the sound of "chi", a mist of liquid sprayed out from the old Miao's mouth, and rushed straight at the moth. Responding, the little sun dimmed all of a sudden.Lao Miao chased after the victory, drinking the liquid in the bottle he held in his hand, while chasing and killing the moths with spray like a launcher.

Soon, under the hard work of Lao Miao, the moths were killed by the mist sprayed from Lao Miao's mouth.It wasn't until Lao Miao signaled that Xiao Nie let go of his hand and took a deep breath. Only then did he realize that the air was filled with the smell of strong alcohol, and only then did he realize that what Lao Miao was holding in his hand was a bottle of 62-degree Laobaigan. Lao Miao carefully opened the person lying on the ground.Sure enough, there were more than a dozen moths under him, and they died in the "wine mist" of Lao Miao before they could fly up. Lao Miao signaled Xiao Nie to hold the flashlight, and he quickly peeled off the man's shirt.This is a man in his thirties, with very strong muscles. Under the light of the flashlight, the scar on the left side of his face is especially obvious.I saw dozens of moths densely packed on his chest, and Lao Miao still did the same thing, killing these things quickly with wine, and then put on a rubber film glove to quickly drag these moths down.It was only then that Xiao Nie realized that the tails of these moths were firmly embedded in the man's muscles.After a while, Lao Miao cleaned up the moths on his body, and dozens of small red spots appeared on his body immediately.He asked Xiao Nie to hold the man's head, looked away from his eyes and said, "There is still help, but hurry up!" what.After he came back, he grabbed a handful of green wormwood-like weeds, quickly squeezed out the juice from the weeds, and then rubbed them back and forth behind the man.After a short time, I felt that the grass began to be covered with some small black particles, densely attached between the grass stems.Lao Miao looked at the flashlight and took a sip of wine without hesitation, only to see that all the particles had melted into black juice.

Xiao Nie was dumbfounded, and asked stammeringly, "This...is this?" The old Miao pulled a bunch of weeds again, without raising his head, he wiped it and said, "This thing is called wax worm, and it's a thing in the cave. The first floor of the tombs of many dignitaries in ancient times was made of them that were about to mature and lay eggs." Adult insects are piled up. These insects can be preserved for thousands of years if they are prepared with potions, coupled with suitable humidity and conditions. They have extremely strong reproductive ability, that is, they are extremely aggressive during the egg-laying period. In a dormant state, they look like some lime However, as soon as it encounters water, it will immediately swell and glow, and when it encounters live animals, it will swarm up and stab them into the body with its pincers. While laying eggs, it also secretes a large amount of anesthetic. In this way, the eggs are parasitized into these animals alive in the body."

After hearing this, Xiao Nie felt numb for a while, and looked at the eggs in Lao Miao's hands, feeling disgusted: "Then you treat this person as a petri dish?" Lao Miao nodded: "These eggs only need to It broke out of the shell in two hours, fed on his flesh and blood, and soon grew into a larva, burrowing out of his body. It would be fine if this person died, but if he didn't die, he would watch his body burrowing into his body. Countless worms came out and then itched to death. These things were once very popular in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period. At that time, in order to punish the escaped slaves, the nobles often threw them into the adult worm pile of wax worms, and then watched them fester and itch. Death, the appearance of death is terrible!" Xiao Nie felt a chill when he heard it, but he didn't dare to take a step closer to that person.Seeing him like this, Lao Miao laughed silently, and then went to pull a lot of weeds around. "It's called madder, and its grass liquid is the only thing that can pull out these eggs." Lao Zhong looked at the few madder in his hand, and told Xiao Nie to keep an eye on this person and look for more madder in the distance. Xiao Nie looked at this guy with great reluctance. When he inadvertently shone a flashlight on the man and looked him up and down, he found that there was a black thing hanging around this guy's neck. With the flashlight, it looked like a brass Tubular objects made.Xiao Nie gently took off the copper pipe, trying not to touch the person's body.It turned out to be a brass whistle, except for the mouth part, the rest of the whistle was already stained with copper and rust. As if by accident, Xiao Nie put the copper whistle to his mouth and blew softly. In the silence of the night, it seemed like a piccolo calling for the soul from the Nine Nether Hell, flowing out like the wind in the dark.When the seemingly invisible whistle reached Lao Miao's ears, Lao Miao shivered from head to toe. When he ran back quickly, Xiao Nie had already fallen to the ground, and not far from where he fell, a pair of silver-gray eyes were staring at Lao Miao coldly... When Lao Miao talked about this, I probably already guessed it, and quickly continued: "It's the tomb badger?" Who knew that Lao Miao shook his head: "It's not the tomb badger, it's the tomb robber we just rescued!" Lao Miao's answer was beyond my expectation.It turned out that the tomb robbers did not dare to use lights for the convenience of robbing the tomb at night. First, they were afraid of attracting the attention of others, and second, the open fire might cause the methane accumulated in the ancient tomb to cause an explosion.Therefore, many tomb robbers will take a kind of elixir about two months before preparing to rob the tomb, which can enhance the night vision of the eyes, and the eyes can fluoresce in the dark like some animals. The tomb robber gave Lao Miao a weak look and suddenly said, "Fan Yedou, tore open the gown, kite gouged eyes, old school Wei Tuo Da Di, dare to ask how many gold scales?" This is a slang term for tomb robbers, to the effect that when you robbed this big tomb, you accidentally missed it, and you were seriously injured by a tomb bug. Lao Miao only looked at Xiao Nie on the ground, and replied coldly: "Forgive the general who patrols the mountain." The tomb robber gasped, and cupped his hands: "Yin and Yang have been divided into two ways since ancient times, and the school captain and general have different paths. You will always remember your kindness under the moon, and you will share the cup in the future." These two sentences are not black words, but they are two sentences To be polite, it means: The mountain-turner and the general patrolling the mountain have been in the relationship between thieves and soldiers since ancient times. This time I was rescued by you. I will remember this kindness, but I will repay it in the future. After finishing speaking, this guy was about to leave crookedly.Lao Miao stood up suddenly and shouted sharply: "Stop!" The man trembled in fright. "Your guy bit my man, what do you think?" Lao Miao said in a deep voice. The man gritted his teeth under the moonlight, and as if he had made up his mind, he pulled something from his chest and threw it at Lao Miao: "One long and three short, don't let it die!" He staggered towards the old man. go forward. Lao Miao looked at the badger whistle in his hand and the tools left on the ground, and understood that he was about to bid farewell to the tomb robbery career this time, and said loudly to his back: "Boil two catties of madder to cleanse the whole body, once in the morning and evening, and three times a day. Day, take white vinegar orally," and then said in a low voice, "Maybe I can live a few more years!" "You let him go just like that?" I asked Lao Miao loudly.In my heart, a thief is a thief, and a soldier is a soldier. The responsibility of Lao Miao is to catch these tomb robbers. How could he let him go?As if I would catch him if I was around.Faced with questioning, Lao Miao still didn't say a word. Old Zhong had heard this story several times, at this moment he suddenly gave a disdainful smile, and said in a childish tone: "Xiao Nie fell to the ground, she might die in just a moment, Put your own people first or catch the thief? What's more, he didn't steal the ancient tomb, he just opened a hole and he was unlucky, which didn't constitute any criminal facts, and we don't have the power to enforce the law, so we can only confiscate it, you know? But you Sue him for what? Sue him for digging a hole in the ground?" I was completely speechless, quietly watching the headlights swaying back and forth on the road. With the light of the flashlight, I looked curiously at the copper whistle that Lao Miao handed me.It was this thing, Xiao Nie blew it, and was bitten by the tomb badger, and Lao Miao used it to blow one long and three short to attract the tomb badger, took its blood and applied it to Xiao Nie's wound , although a lot of poisonous blood flowed from the wound, Xiao Nie hadn't woken up from the coma, and the tomb badger who bit him also died suddenly, and a corpse tan grew out of the black blood flowing out of his mouth.The well-informed old Zhong finally concluded that in this ancient tomb was buried an extremely dangerous thing that was once dangerous to everyone in the tomb robbery industry - the Golden Corpse of the Warring States Period. The unlucky tomb badger must have been injured by the Golden Corpse of the Warring States Period , and when it bit Xiao Nie, it also passed the corpse poison to Xiao Nie. Warring States Golden Corpse, this is the first time I heard this name.But every time someone mentioned this name, the faces of Lao Zhong and Lao Miao would change.Whenever I went to the bottom of the question, they either changed the subject or remained silent.Just when I was about to get impatient, our destination arrived. It was the night at the end of summer, the heat had slowly dissipated, and there was actually a slight chill.After getting out of the car, I stretched my fists and legs, and my mind was still digesting the story Lao Miao told me just now. At this time, Lao Zhong pulled out an iron cage from the trunk of the car, and vaguely saw the cage in the not so bright moonlight. It turned out to be the tomb badger that once bit me.And it was staring at a pair of small eyes, very provocatively demonstrating at me. I looked around, and it turned out to be the northeast part of Zheng Han's old city wall not far from the school.A river passed around, just surrounding the mausoleum area outside the city. Due to its remote location, few people except farmers with fields here would set foot here.I stood on a high ground and looked south, and the school buildings were looming in sight.I already have a rough idea of ​​where I am now. Lao Zhong grabbed the iron cage and followed Lao Miao forward without making a sound, so I had no choice but to follow suit.Because Lao Miao and Xiao Nie were in danger here last time, a lot of weeds were cut off afterwards, and the journey was relatively easy. After a while, I heard Lao Miao say: "Here we are!" We stopped. Only then did I realize that we had reached the middle of a group of barren graves.It turns out that the upper part of the soil layer is the tombs of modern people, while the lower part is overlapped with the tombs of Korean kings. This also explains why both the tomb robbery and the tomb protection must be done in the dead of night, because the nearby people don’t want anyone to disturb the ancestors’ dead souls. . Lao Miao carefully pulled away the bramble seedlings covering it, and then took out a small shovel from behind to carefully push away the floating soil. After a while, a piece of wood appeared in front of us.It turned out that when they left last time, they did not fill up the robbery hole, but just blocked the hole with wooden boards, and then sprinkled floating soil and thorn seedlings.Seeing that Lao Miao took out a fluorescent stick and broke it and threw it into the hole, I couldn't help looking into the hole curiously.I just felt a cold air rushing towards my face, and a stench almost suffocated me.At this time, Lao Miao suddenly yelled: "Not good!" and pulled me away from the hole suddenly, and then I heard a burst of sharp laughter of "磔磔" coming from my ears. I shivered in fright, and when I looked back, their faces changed.The laughter was like weeping and complaining, and it spread far and wide in the quiet night.My heart tightened all of a sudden: Damn, don't you need to be so lucky, the first time you come out with them, you come across something unclean? "Could it be a ghost?" I asked Lao Zhong tremblingly. "Damn you!" Old Zhong punched me hard on the back of the head, it was obvious that he was very taboo to say this thing. But the scream of "磔磔" still kept ringing in my ears. Before I could ask any more questions, I saw Lao Miao dodging away from the hole, and Lao Zhong also grabbed the back of my neck and dragged me away.They stepped back for about three or four meters, and both of them looked at the entrance of the cave with fluorescent lights without daring to come out.There was something faintly shaking in the washbasin-sized hole, and after a while, under the reflection of the fluorescent sticks in the hole, a huge shadow holding a pair of pliers was projected on the shrub leaves next to the hole. "What is this?" Out of fear, I involuntarily grabbed Lao Miao's skirt. I saw Lao Zhong quickly took out a package of things from his pocket, and before he had time to open it, he smashed it into pieces with a "snap", and immediately a mist of powder sprayed out, and then quickly sprinkled the powder on us. Sa Bian said: "It's too late, find a high place and hide quickly!" Lao Miao was not idle, and took me and ran quickly to a nearby mound, and then he found a dry place, scattered a bag of things evenly around us, and on another mound not far away, Lao Zhong is doing the same thing. Just as we were getting ready, I found that the light stick in the entrance of the robbery cave seemed to have been extinguished, or to be precise, it seemed to be covered by something. Just when I was about to turn on the flashlight, the glow stick came back on.Under the moonlight, an incredible phenomenon appeared: countless scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, gnats, and some disgusting multi-legged insects that I can't name are wriggling out of the hole, the number There are just too many to make one's hair stand on end.As soon as they got out of the cave, they ran away in all directions, but without exception, they escaped the two mounds where we and Lao Zhong were staying.Only then did I notice the mixed smell of sulfur and realgar in the air. It turned out that Lao Zhong and Lao Miao were spreading these medicinal powders that are feared by poisonous insects. More and more poisonous insects are running out of the hole continuously, as if fleeing the victims of the flood, giving the impression that these things are hiding from a terrible monster.After watching for a long time, seeing that they were not coming towards me, I boldly unscrewed the tactical flashlight and observed these little things carefully.Surprisingly, these poisonous insects are all frighteningly large, and the scorpions are two or three times the size of the usual ones.The centipede's feet are as long as chopsticks, the thickness of a little finger is thick, and a pair of pincers are clearly visible on its head.I was planning to catch a few scorpions and centipedes that were alone and go back to make wine and drink, when suddenly the weird "cracking" horrible laughter sounded from behind us again.Before I could turn around and take a flashlight to take a picture, I was pressed tightly on the mound by a pair of big hands.Immediately afterwards, as if someone responded, countless strange laughter of "磔磔" sounded from all around.I felt a gust of wind blowing, and a lot of things fell to the ground.A lot of things actually flew past my head. After about ten minutes, the sound of "cracking" disappeared, and the sound of flying "plopping" gradually decreased. It was another strange thing. The voice rang out. Taking advantage of Lao Miao's inattention, I quickly changed my posture and watched an astonishing scene. A group of huge crows with glossy wings are quickly pecking at these poisonous insects fleeing in all directions, and from time to time there are cheering cries of "磔磔".It turns out that this kind of huge crow's cry is different from the usual crows, and at night, it is a bit weird and shrill, so I feel as ugly as a ghost crying when I hear it. Obviously, the tension of Lao Zhong and Lao Miao just now was not because of the sound of these crows, but because of these poisonous insects.They must have never seen such a grand gathering of poisonous insects.On the contrary, those crows seemed to have been prepared to gather together for a grand dinner. What's strange is that the poisonous insects ignored the crow's threat at all, and didn't have any intention of retreating back into the hole. Instead, they kept rushing out regardless, as if something more terrifying was chasing after them. I suppressed my curiosity and kept staring at these poisonous insects, looking at Lao Zhong and Lao Miao.Lao Miao seemed to know what I was thinking, and said softly, "It's a breeding cave for poisonous insects. This tomb is not easy to come by. Not only are there insects inlaid in the walls of the tomb, but as long as the tomb passage is opened, the insect bait hidden inside can be gathered together." Raising a large number of poisonous insects, grave robbers can avoid the first layer of tomb insects and enter the tomb passage, and they will die in the mouths of poisonous insects gathered overwhelmingly, but the strange thing is..." Lao Miao said here and shook his head, as if he was a little puzzled . "Is it because these poisonous insects are coming out one after another, that these crows gather here?" I asked. "Everything grows and restrains each other, and in one life there must be death. These crows are called tomb crows. They are huge in size and fierce in nature. They don't fly in groups at ordinary times. They are the natural enemies of poisonous insects. But today they are obviously here for these poisonous insects. It seems that all living things are haunted. There is its own magic in it." Lao Miao said in a trance. While speaking, the army of crows had almost eaten up the poisonous insects running on the ground, and the insects that survived the disaster also escaped without a trace. Flying to the sky, the feast is over. The surroundings suddenly became empty again, as if nothing had happened just now, leaving only the messy graveyard.Lao Miao looked at the sky and said softly to Lao Zhong, "Time is running out!" Then he and Lao Zhong came to the entrance of the cave again. Old Zhong opened the iron cage that was tightly held by his side, and with the copper whistle in his mouth, he blew long and short, and the tomb badger came out of the cage quickly, staring at Looking at the old clock, it quickly got into the hole as soon as the old clock signaled. We just squatted at the entrance of the cave in silence, it was a bit eerily quiet, and I couldn't help coughing twice to express the question in my heart: "Since those poisonous insects are attracted by insect bait, why don't they treat them well?" In the tomb, suddenly ran out?" Lao Miao and Lao Zhong were startled when they heard this, because they were too eager to save people, they forgot the simplest point. Lao Zhong's original intention was to use the animal instinct of the tomb badger after it was injured to find the antidote for the Warring States Golden Corpse, that is to say, after the Warring States Golden Corpse injured the tomb badger, it used the tomb badger's instinct to find the antidote.Many animals have this instinct, just like some dogs will find some grass to vomit to eat after food poisoning. This is a magical skill bestowed by nature on animals. I was a little dumbfounded after hearing his plan.This is too much of a joke, entrusting a human life to an animal who doesn't know the odds of winning like this, if the tomb badger can't find the antidote, it will die in the poison of the nine laughing mushroom like the last tomb badger , wouldn't Xiao Nie want to sacrifice in this bold move of ours? Lao Zhong said that it was not unexpected that he had already contacted experts from the Provincial People's Hospital and the Provincial Institute of Archeology before he set off. It is estimated that they are already in a hurry to rescue, and our trip is to install double insurance for Xiao Nie.And this kind of strange poison is difficult to eradicate without finding the right medicine, so we have to come to this ancient tomb. After hearing this, I fell silent, my heart was flustered, Lao Zhong meant that I would take Xiao Nie's position in the future, but after only three days of contact, so many thrilling things happened, and my ex is now dead. I don’t know, the situation we are in is full of crises, and I ask myself that apart from being half-true and half-true, I can’t help me at all. The feeling now is both novel and strange. And a little scared. Time passed by every minute and every second, and the night was getting colder and colder.Lao Miao was still squatting there motionless like a sculpture, while Lao Zhong kept stroking the copper whistle in his hand, it was obvious that he was very nervous. At this time, I felt something scratching in the hole, and sure enough, the tomb badger ran away after a while.What surprised us even more was that it had a bunch of familiar things on its head. "Zi Shi Tan! Jiu Xiao Mushroom!" The three of us shouted out at the same time. I saw that tomb badger started to circle around in front of the hole, as if very unwilling, hissing and roaring towards the hole, like an angry puppy, and then suddenly got in again. Its unusual behavior made us very excited, and the Nine Laughing Mushroom on its head also proved that it had encountered the host of the poisonous mushroom—the Golden Corpse of the Warring States Period that everyone has been talking about. But why did it rush in angrily again?Could it be that it wants to fight to the death with that monster in this deep tomb? It could be seen that Lao Miao and Lao Zhong were very nervous, and my palms began to sweat. I muttered softly: "I don't know if the Golden Corpse of the Warring States Period will crawl out of this hole!" Just after I finished speaking, I felt a chill start to run down my spine, and then I saw the two of them who could kill people. eyes. I gave a dry laugh to relieve the embarrassment, thinking that you two old guys are more superstitious than me, and the older you get, the more careful you are. While he was feeling emotional, he heard the familiar "rustling" sound from the entrance of the cave again, and Lao Zhong and Lao Miao stared nervously at the entrance of the cave.Sure enough, the tomb badger backed out again, and it was quite embarrassing this time.The bunch of mushrooms on the head was gone, and the shiny black fur was covered with the unique loess of Xinzheng.It backed out slowly with its head behind, and stopped about two meters away from the entrance of the cave, but still screamed at the entrance of the cave relentlessly. Lao Miao pulled me nervously, I looked back at him, and he also stared nervously at the hole.Lao Zhong looked at the tomb badger with an unbelievable expression, and then looked at Lao Miao in surprise, and they both said at the same time: "Could it be..." Before the words fell to the ground, the tomb badger swished into the hole, but then ejected out with a shrill cry. Under the moonlight, the silver light shone brightly, making the entrance of the cave brighter and brighter. The tomb badger, an irritated little beast, kept circling around the entrance of the cave but was unwilling to leave. A small pure white snake about a foot long slowly swam out from the entrance of the cave. It was actually white all over, and it came out of the cave unhurriedly.After getting out of the hole, it raised its head towards the moon like a king cobra ready to attack people at any time.Only then did I realize that only two eyes glowed blood-red on its snow-white body, and there was... a small horn on its raised head.God, what kind of monster is this? A reptile has a small yellow horn growing on it. The appearance of this little snake completely overturned my biological common sense. "Snake?" The two old fellows yelled the same words almost at the same time in surprised tones.I was so scared that I trembled all over. I looked back and saw the fire-like light in the eyes of the two old men. It was obvious that they were very surprised.I took a closer look at the little snake under the moonlight—it was standing proudly and staring at the tomb badger with its small head, and the two guys were in a stalemate like this. I carefully pushed Lao Miao behind me, and asked in a low voice, "What is a snake?" Lao Miao waved his hands, staring at them intently for a long time: "Explain later!" Then motioned for me to stop talking. I don't know how long it took, but the Tomb Badger seemed impatient to wait, and suddenly jumped high and straight at the little white snake. He bit the Tomb Badger heavily on the neck. When I saw it, I was in a hurry, and I didn't know if the snake was poisonous. What if the tomb badger was bitten to death, so I was going to use the short shovel in my hand to slap the little snake to save the tomb badger.But at this time, the situation was reversed again. After being bitten, the tomb badger didn't care at all. He turned his body in a 90-degree arc and farted his anus towards the snake loudly and stinky. Who knew The snake was so smoked that it immediately lost its vitality, lying on the ground like a soft noodle.The tomb badger scratched the white snake's body with its two front teeth, and quickly bit the little snake's abdomen with a big gash. He only heard a roar from behind accompanied by a swear word "his grandma's". Old Zhong rushed over like a god, kicked the tomb badger away, grabbed the white snake, touched the wound with his right hand for a long time, and then looked disappointed .Lao Miao also ran over, and asked anxiously, "It's gone?" Old Zhong said angrily, "It's gone!" He turned around and looked for the tomb badger again, but that guy crawled into the tomb badger again like a psychic. In the robbery hole. Lao Zhong looked at the white snake in his hand and handed it to Lao Miao. Lao Miao didn't know when he was holding a shiny knife in his hand. With one stroke, the small horn fell into his hand. Then he used a Wrap in butter cloth. Old Zhong squatted down to the entrance of the cave again, cursing and saying some shit, he will clean you up properly later.Then he blew the copper whistle in his hand.As a result, after a long time of blowing, there was no sign of the tomb badger. In desperation, the old clock blew the copper whistle again, and not long after blowing this time, I heard the "rustling" sound coming from the robber's cave again, and a quarter of an hour later, I saw the tomb badger dragging He dragged something out of the hole. Old Zhong took a flashlight and saw that what was held in the mouth of the tomb badger was a hand, a severed human hand. What is surprising is that the human hand is almost a complete human hand, not a dry bone, but more like an arm torn directly from a human body, and there is a jade object similar to a finger wrench in the hand , and there is a heliotrope-like armguard on the arm. However, under the direct light of the flashlight, we saw the true face of this arm. This arm is just a dry bone with a lot of carrion hanging on it. At first glance, it looks like an arm that has just been removed, but in fact it has been weathered and rotted. I don't know how many years of mummy arms.The most astonishing thing is that the gray mushrooms are crookedly growing among the carrion, and the mushroom caps are full of weird smiling faces that make people tremble. And the tomb badger shook its head, staring back and forth with its two small round eyes as if showing merit.Old Zhong became angry when he saw it, and was about to kick it hard.Lao Miao hurriedly stopped him and said, "The male and female snakes have the same hole, maybe we can find another one!" Old Zhong pondered for a while, and asked me to get a small stainless steel box from the car. Then he and Lao Miao put on rubber gloves and carefully grabbed the severed arm with a pair of pliers and put it in. Buttercloth is tightly wound in dozens. After all this was done, the old clock blew the copper whistle again, but this time the tomb badger didn't enter the robbery cave any more, but just circled around the entrance of the cave.Later, the old clock got anxious and blew a little more briefly, but the tomb badger ran away like an arrow.The three of us chased it closely, but the tomb badger didn't want to get rid of us. It only ran twenty or thirty meters away and then stopped to wait for us to rest.Just running and stopping like this, about two or three kilometers away, he had already run out of the barren grave, crossed the field and came under a fence.Panting from running, I just managed to catch my breath, and when I saw the situation around me, my nose was almost out of breath. Isn't this the school wall?Isn't that the way it escaped after it bit me that night?Feelings, people are going home! Soon, Lao Zhong, Lao Miao and I gathered at the middle of the slope below the fisherman's pavilion.The tomb badger got in for a long time and then retreated, dragging out a white snake that had been dead for a long time. The body of the snake was almost rotten, and there was no way to find the insane little horn on its head.This discovery made Lao Zhong and Lao Miao obviously very discouraged, as if the last hope had been shattered. “我明白了！”老钟以手加额。我和老苗一起看他。“这两个大陵是相通的，换句话说，这其实是一个大陵墓。如果，这下面是地宫的话，那么我们刚才所在的地方一定就是陵墓的甬道。”他这一番大胆的推测，让我大为吃惊，一个涉及面积将近四五平方公里的陵墓，那该是多大的规模。 老钟好像看出了我的惊异，笑着说：“只是甬道长一点，其实两旁大都是陪葬的副坑，在战国诸侯里这样的规模很平常！” 老苗仔细察看了一下那条蛇，比较了一下刚才抓到的那条蛇，抬头说：“还有救，是两条三年蛇，找到卵，小聂的毒一样可解！” 正在说话的时候，突然有一两道手电照射了过来并伴以吼声：“谁在那里？” 我们回到医院的时候已经将近凌晨四点了，是当地的派出所所长亲自驾车送我和老钟回来的，而老苗则在校警眼皮底下又翻墙原路回去开那辆吉普。面对这么明显的违规行为，校警在连派出所所长都惹不起的大人物老钟面前保持了乖巧的沉默。 老钟坐在车后面闭目养神，有一搭没一搭地和前面开车的所长聊着天。 “你前两天报消息的时候，我们又抓了一个，承认得挺爽快，奇怪的是没什么收获，还在那押着呢！” “嗯。”老钟淡淡地应了一声。 “要不您老去看一下？那家伙是个死嘴硬！”那所长试探着问了一句。 老钟长长地打了个哈欠，随意地摆摆手：“放了吧，家里也是有老有小的人，就当是做好事！” 我对他这种公然挑衅法律的态度十分的愤慨，但是，那所长竟然默认了他的提议。 “真是天高皇帝远，竟然这么不把法律放进眼里！”我嘴里小声嘟囔着。 老钟仿佛听到我的话，睁开眼对我一笑：“那个人吸进了墓室霉菌，发现的时候已经晚了，没几天好活了，几乎是无药可医，还是让他老（死）到家里吧！”他在说这个事情的时候仿佛在说一件不相干的事情，神情平淡得让人可恨。那所长也没想到老钟的答案会是这样，一下子紧张起来。我突然替那些审讯的干警担心起来。 这时候已经到了医院，老钟边下车边说：“不用担心，其他的人不会有事，只要离开那个墓室，霉菌的作用就消退了，只是那小子倒霉而已！”虽然说得含混不清，但是那个所长的神情是明显地轻松了下来。
