Chapter 76 Dragon Bone
I saw finally drilled out of the cave, was about to cheer, but heard the fat man said my back grew a “human face”, this brainless words, like a bucket of ice water, splashing down, my heart cooled half, hastily craned his neck to look at his own back, only to think of their own invisible, I asked the fat man: “What the fuck are you talking about? What do you mean, I have a human face on my back? Where is it? Whose face? Don’t scare me, I’m having a nervous breakdown.”
Fatty pulled over Dajinya and pointed at my back and said, “What am I scaring you for, you let Lao Jin take a look and see if what I said is true.”
Dajinya put the “smelling jade” in his arms on the ground, stayed in the dark cave for a long time, could not see clearly, so he reached out and rubbed his eyes, stood behind me to look at my back: “Well …… hey? Master Hu, your back two shoulder blades, there is indeed a palm-sized, like a birthmark like …… more fuzzy …… this is a human face? It seems more like …… more like an eye.”
“What? I have an eye on my back?” My scalp are at first glance up, the mention of the eye, the first thing that comes to mind is the ancient city of Jingjie under the desert in Xinjiang, that nightmarish memories, compared to those gruesome memories of me in the battlefield, but also not comparable to the general horrible sadness, I bent over the arm, touched my back, felt nothing, busy to let the big gold teeth carefully describe, what exactly is the thing that grows on my back, in the end, it is the “human face”, or “eyes”.
Dajinya said to me: “is a round dark red light marks, do not look closely can not be seen, a circle, a circle, but a few like the level of the pupil of the eye, maybe I said inaccurate, should be said that like the eyeballs, but not like the eyes, no eyelids and eyelashes.”
I asked Fatty again, “Fatty, just now you did not say like a human face? How come Master Jin said it resembles an eyeball again?”
Fatty said behind me, “Old Hu, just now I thought of the ghost mound in the human face, suddenly saw your back, out of such a round mark, it is wrong to think that it is a face, and now look carefully, you don’t say …… that this is really some like we in the Jingjie Ancient City, we have seen that kind of Eyeball shape.”
Fatty and big gold teeth the more I said the more panic, this is certainly not what birthmark, I have my own birthmark I, is not clear to myself, back in the end what has grown? The most anxious thing is that there is no mirror, I can not see my own back.
At this time, Dajinya suddenly called out, “Fat master, your back also has a birthmark like Master Hu, you two quickly look at my back or not?”
I took a look at the back of Dajinya and the fat man, and found that the fat man’s left side of the back there is a round dark red marks, indeed, like a birthmark, vague, unclear lines, the size of an adult palm so big, a few like the shape of the eyeballs, but can not be sure, the kind of blood like dark red color, in the setting sun in the afterglow of extraordinarily eye-catching.
And the big gold teeth behind the naked, in addition to the place of wear and tear in addition to nothing, this time I and the fat man all fooled, this is by no means a coincidence, it seems that it is not together with the big gold teeth, out of the time, in all likelihood, it is and that trip to Xinjiang ghost cave experience has to do with that, is it our trip to the survivors of the expedition, are cursed by the bottomless ghost cave?
I remember two days ago just arrived in Gutian, we in the Yellow River in distress, all wet, to the guest house will go together to take a hot bath, that time …… seems to have not found who has such a strange red marks, that is to say is this one or two days just appeared, will not be related to the ghost caves, but in this Dragon Ridge Tomb infected with a certain kind of virus Could it be that it’s not related to the ghost cave, but some kind of virus infected in the Dragon Ridge tomb? But why didn’t it appear on Dajinya? Is it possible that Dajinya is immune to this virus?
Fatty said to me: “Old Hu you do not think too much, relax your mind, what is the big deal, and does not hurt and does not itch, go back to the bath, find a scrub rubbing vigorously, may be gone, we got a treasure this time, we should be happy, hey …… you look at this place is where? How do I look a little familiar?”
I just climbed out of the cave, was told by the fat man back long a strange thing, the heart panic, did not care about the exit of the cave is what place, just remember this cave is very narrow, are crumbling and falling loess, this time listening to the fat man said to see this neighborhood is very familiar, then raised his eyes to look at it, couldn’t help but laugh out: “The original we turned half a day, there is no coincidence, and we’ve got a fucking pocket! Back.”
It turns out that the exit we climbed out of the Dragon Ridge is when we just arrived at the Fishbone Temple, I climbed up to the ridge to watch the feng shui situation in the vicinity, and when I came down I stepped on an earth shell halfway up the mountain and nearly sank into the place, at that time, Fatty and Dajinya rushed to the place at the sound of the noise, and pulled me out from the earth shell, and the slope of that earth sank into a cavern, and we also used to look into the place and thought that it was connecting to the underground cavern of the Mountain crevice, now it seems, this place is and enshrine human face bronze tripod big cave, interconnected as one, in the cave around half a day, and finally from this unintentionally stepped on the collapse of the cave to climb out.
Our luggage and other things, are placed in the front not far from the fish bone temple, the most important thing is to find clothes as soon as possible to wear, otherwise this ravine bumped into the big girls and small daughters-in-law, not to the three of us as hooligans can not.
I know that this kind of thing is useless, but the back of the sudden appearance of dark red traces, so that our victory in this layer of shadow, the heart is very unpleasant, the key is not sure behind this trace, in fact, what is the thing, go back to find a doctor to see, although there is nothing strange feeling, but this is not the original thing, long in the body is to feel extraordinarily twisted.
The ravine is very windy, we are not covered with clothes, carrying the original stone of the smell of jade, fast pace back to the fishbone temple, left almost a day’s time, something is still intact hidden behind the altar of the Dragon King, three people each find clothes to wear, the bag of white wine out of the bottle a few mouths, no matter what, this piece of gold jade is considered to be in the hands of the return to Beijing a shot, is not a small amount of money.
Dajinya eat and drink enough, caress mo wenxiangyu original stone, a time of complacency, can not help but sing: “I am not a ringing horse and thieves and bandits, two are not outlaws to steal the city …… tom king clowns what is enough to talk about, I can block a million soldiers with a sword … …”
Although I also have a few points of joy of getting rich, but when I think of the red traces behind me, I can not pick up the interest, just sullenly drink.
I vaguely felt bad in my heart, this kind of mark that seemed to be like an eyeball would never appear for no reason, as soon as I thought of this, I felt that my back became very heavy.
Dajinya saw the situation, then advised me to say: “Hu master you are also all open-minded people, this matter does not have to be put on the heart, go back to the hospital to check check, really do not action surgery to cut off this piece of skin, good on the good is not very big, looks like it is not too deep, there will not be too many problems, it is best to look for a traditional Chinese medicine first, maybe eat two pairs of medicine will be eliminated.”
Fatty said to Dajinya: “We both this is not a skin disease, what is the use of looking for a doctor, if we look for a doctor, we might as well take a cigarette and burn it off ourselves ……”
I said to Fatty and Dajinya: “Forget it, love how to do it, anyway, today is not dead, drink first, tomorrow’s business tomorrow.”
Fatty took the bottle of wine and I touched, a neck, the remaining small half bottle of wine in one gulp clean: “We have just made a fortune, this life but have to care about a little bit, the second half of life still expect to enjoy enjoy.”
After eating and drinking, the day has been dark, we touched the night back to the village under the Snake Plate slope, and in the village of the night, the next day back to Gutian, ready to cross the Yellow River to the north, but was told that these two days the upper reaches of the heavy rainfall, this section of the Yellow River channel is too large, the earliest day after tomorrow the ferry can go boat.
We discussed, if in other ferries to find a boat, at least to catch a day’s road to, it would be better to live in Gutian County for two days, take the opportunity to rest and rest, in addition to the county around, may also be able to pick up some leaks, collect a few pieces of artifacts.
So we still live in the last time the guest house, but this time the guest house is almost full, many people are waiting to cross the river, Gutian is a small place, guest houses and hotels only so two or three, there is no choice, we had to live in the first floor of the bunk.
Bunk can sleep eight people, the three of us went, a total of five people sleeping, there are still three empty positions, we are not quite assured that the smell of jade so valuable things stored on the cabinet, had to be wrapped in three layers outside three layers, take turns in the room to watch, go out and hold.
That night, the fat man and the big gold teeth in the room to look at the smell of jade, I went to the backyard of the guest house bathroom bath, just met with us drank with the old man Liu.
I said hello to him, polite a few words, smell him this Gutian County, there is no famous Chinese medicine, will not see skin disease.
Old man Liu said that there is an old Chinese doctor has a wonderful hand back to spring medicine to get rid of the disease of brilliant medical skills, treatment of psoriasis a great, and then asked me with concern whether the disease? I was ready to take a bath.
I was ready to go to the bath, only wearing a shirt, it will be unbuttoned two, let the old man Liu looked at my back, said the back side of the long a scabies, want to find a doctor to see.
After looking at the old man Liu, was shocked, said to me: “old brother, how do you get this? I don’t think this is like a skin disease, this is like a red mark like blood, the shape is very much like a word, and this word I’ve seen before.”
I asked, “What? Is this a word on my back? What kind of word can you see?”
Old man Liu said, “It was eighty years, our county renovated a small school, hit the foundation, dug out some strange animal bones, at that time by the common people to loot all, then the archaeological team came, through the county radio, it is all the bones to collect, the archaeological team of experts live in our guest house, they recovered when I saw the bone armor has this word, not to once.”
