Holy Bone

Chapter 269 I have never seen such a brazen person

Under the coffin board.

A living palm kept bouncing in it, as if a person was trying to break free from the constraints.

The thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, and the others heard just now was the sound of the thing being bumped back and forth under the coffin board.

The reason why he is said to be the palm of a living person.

Mainly skin tone.

This hand is not the gray or iron-blue color of a dead person, but the same skin color as a living person, and under the skin, you can still see blue veins and blood vessels, and there is still fresh blood on the fingertips of the index finger after the flesh has been worn away.

Under the coffin board, many crooked blood characters were written on the torn fingertips.

……help me……

……help me……

……help me……

It seems that the palm of this living person has been sealed in the coffin for some time, and it is impossible for so many bloody words to be written in a short period of time.

The most important thing is, apart from being able to survive alone, this evil living palm is also like a human being, as if it has independent consciousness?
"Mother, is the coffin really alive? Why is there a human hand in the coffin, benefactor Zhao, where did you find this coffin?"

After the old Taoist was dumbfounded at first, he saw that the hands in the coffin were not in any danger other than bumping around like headless flies, struggling around, trying to escape from the narrow interlayer of the coffin. He settled down and felt a little palpitation He asked Zhao who was trembling with fright while hugging the child.

just.

Mrs. Zhao hasn't spoken yet.

Instead, Uncle Lin spoke first.

"Chen Daochang, don't embarrass Mrs. Zhao. Let Mrs. Zhao and the two children leave the coffin shop first, so as not to scare them. Zhao Pingfa's coffin was ordered from me. But I can be sure of one thing, before this coffin is taken away, There are absolutely no hands in it. Because I make all the coffins in my shop with my own hands, they are like my old buddies, I know them all too well."

Uncle Lin looked at the palms of the living people in the coffin, and what other blood characters were there, with the same expression of surprise and solemnity.

No matter where this matter is put, it is absurd enough.

Jin An stared at the hands that were still in the interlayer of the coffin, bumping around like headless flies, and said in surprise: "If there is nothing abnormal in Uncle Lin's shop, then he left the coffin shop and was hidden in Zhao Pingfa's house." Into the interlayer of the coffin?"

Jin An was thoughtful.

Then he winked at the old Taoist priest.

The two have been together for so long, and they have cooperated with each other for a long time. The old Taoist immediately understood what Jin An meant.

Next, the old Taoist priest and Li Huwei sent Mrs. Zhao and the child to the opposite Taoist temple first, comforted them patiently, and checked their bodies so that Mrs. Zhao and the child would not be shocked and lose their souls just now.

Fortunately, in the daytime now, the living people are full of yang, and adults and children are fine.

Seeing that everyone was fine, the old Taoist began to ask carefully about everything about the coffin and where it had been these few days?Is there any abnormality in the middle?Ask for clues about manpower.

After about touching a stick of incense.

The old Taoist priest and Guard Li returned to the coffin shop, and the old Taoist priest shook his head.

"This coffin was taken away yesterday and delivered today. According to Mrs. Zhao's recollection, the coffin has been placed in Zhao Pingfa's yard all along. Ms. Zhao and several members of the Zhao family kept vigil all night. Nothing unusual happened during this period. No one stayed alone. The coffin, which can secretly hide a human hand into the coffin without telling others, basically eliminates all imaginable suspicious places and people."

The old Taoist continued: "The only unusual thing is that today I brought the coffin to the coffin shop and planned to entrust Mr. Lin to find someone to perform rituals for Zhao Pingfa. On the way, it suddenly rained halfway, and the coffin was accidentally wet by the rain. The rain seeped into the coffin and wet the body."

The old Taoist said so much, in short, no one knows how the severed hand was hidden in the interlayer of the coffin!
All of a sudden, there was no clue, and everyone's thinking went into a dead end.

"Little brother! Be careful!"

The old Taoist suddenly exclaimed. He saw Jin An stretching out his hand to grab the jumping human hand in the coffin interlayer, and wanted to stop Jin An, fearing that Jin An would be scratched and infected with corpse poison or something.

Although this human hand looks like a living person's hand, this matter is too evil after all, and no one can tell what this human hand is.

Jin An didn't have so many scruples, it was broad daylight, and he really hadn't seen any evil spirits or dead people who could come out to eat people in broad daylight, and he had already grabbed the hands of the people in the coffin.

"what?"

Jin An's eyes flashed brightly, and his eyes showed surprise.

"Old Daoist, Uncle Lin, come and touch this human hand, tell me how you feel..."

Jin An handed the severed human hand in front of several people, and the severed hand was suddenly grabbed, as if it had independent consciousness, and began to struggle excitedly.

Jin An was amazed.

This thing is getting more and more interesting, just like holding a grass carp and jumping around in his hand.

Even Uncle Lin and the old Taoist were surprised by the increasingly miraculous scene in front of them.

Fortunately, Uncle Lin and the old Taoist priest are not ordinary people. They have seen more dead bodies than most ordinary people have seen dead pigs. When they saw that this human hand was subdued by Jin An, there was no danger. They all reached out and touched with curious eyes.

The old Taoist exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! This hand is warm and has body temperature. It really is the hand of a living person!"

Uncle Lin frowned: "It does look like the hand of a living person, with the elasticity and pulsation of blood vessels of living flesh and blood... To be more precise, this is indeed the hand of a living person."

"But this human hand is cut off, why is it still alive after leaving the human body?" Uncle Lin and the old Taoist asked in confusion at the same time.

Jin An saw the longing eyes of Li Huwei beside him, and scratched his ears and cheeks as if he wanted to get closer and touched, but was worried that Jin An would not let him touch it. Jin An looked at Li Huwei amusedly, and took the initiative to still struggle Handed his severed hand to Guard Li.

Li Huwei, who likes to hunt strange things the most, finally touched his severed hand excitedly, and then roared excitedly: "Your mother, this hand is really hot!"

The severed hand was already struggling in Jin An's hands, but now it was touched in a circle, like a good family girl being molested by a group of old men, struggling more violently.

Especially Li Huwei's salty pig's hands, the more he touched them, the more addictive he became. Jin An couldn't help but stop this courageous Li Huwei.

Then let the sword touch it, and try it out.

This is called sunshine, rain and dew, everyone has a share.

Chijian also nodded dully: "It's alive."

After touching it in a circle, Jin An continued to say: "As for why this hand survived after leaving the human body, it probably has something to do with his strange fracture."

As Jin An said, he turned his hands towards everyone.

Ok?
It was only then that everyone noticed that the fracture of the human hand was smooth and neat, with bones, flesh, fat, blood vessels, and nerves all clearly visible, and even the blood in the blood vessels was still circulating normally, but not a single drop of blood flowed out from the fracture. .

Seeing this strange scene, everyone present was horrified.

"Look at the blood writing in the coffin. There are so many blood writing, and most of the blood writing has solidified, which means that this strange hand has been hidden in the interlayer of the coffin for at least a while." Jin An conjectured.

And continued to say: "Why was it quiet before?"

"Is there such a big movement until just now?"

"I think... this should be related to the rainwater seeping into the coffin..."

"Rainwater seeps into the coffin, and then seeps from the coffin boards into the bottom mezzanine. The cold raindrops dripped onto the skin of the man's hand, irritating the man's hand and waking him up from a certain state of sleep. So that's why it's been fine until now. , There will be no movement until we arrive at the coffin shop."

"As for this human hand, when was it hidden and how was it hidden, this matter has to be reconsidered..."

"Speaking of which, this human hand hidden in the coffin has a broad and powerful palm. It should be the palm of a man who has been working hard all year round." Ever since he found out that this human hand was not in danger for the time being, the old Taoist priest became more and more courageous. , and Guard Li formed a pair of living treasures, watching the hands from a close distance.

"Moreover, the thick and dark skin on this hand shows that he was born in an ordinary family and has been exposed to the wind and the sun all year round."

"The palms and five fingers are covered with thick calluses, which also shows that what he is engaged in is related to the hard work that has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round."

"Old man, I think that the hand should be Chai Fu or someone who holds a knife all year round, so that thick calluses can be worn on the five fingers and palms. Seeing his thick black skin, there is a lot of mud in the nails, so I don't care. Like a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, he should be a woodcutter who goes to the mountains to chop firewood all the year round."

……

……

In fact, the fraudulent corpses in the coffin shop in broad daylight could not be hidden for long. The commotion here, the crowding and trampling of so many people, soon attracted the attention of the patrolling officials.

When the two officials with knives rushed to the coffin shop and saw the hand, they were also terribly frightened, and their faces turned pale instantly.

In the end, this matter directly alarmed the government office.

A large number of yamen servants surrounded the coffin shop, and then even the coffin, Zhao Pingfa's body, severed hand, Uncle Lin, Mrs. Zhao, and everyone related to the coffin were taken back to the yamen for questioning.

Even the coffin shop was temporarily sealed by the yamen.

Two yamen servants stood at the door to prevent outsiders from approaching.

On the contrary, Jin An, the old Taoist priest, Jian Jian, and Li Huwei, who were not deeply related to the case of hiding the hand in the coffin, were not taken away. They were only released after a few daily interrogations from the arresting head.

The attitude of the people towards people like Taoists and monks is quite polite.

"Little brother, Mr. Lin was taken away by the government. What should we do? Should we find a way to get Mr. Lin out?"

As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. After returning to the Taoist temple, the old Taoist secretly took Jin An to a corner where no one was around, and muttered.

After thinking about it, Jin An said: "Don't act rashly first, we have to believe in Uncle Lin's character, Uncle Lin is definitely innocent. As long as Uncle Lin is innocent, the coffin hiding hand has nothing to do with Uncle Lin, I believe the government will release him soon, If Uncle Lin doesn't come back tonight, we'll find the He family, the Xue family, and the Jia family to stand up for Uncle Lin."

These are Jin'an's connections in Fucheng today.

In just a few months, he had a deep relationship with the three largest medicine merchants in Fucheng.

"And when it comes to the three great families, we have a bigger priority to deal with." When it came to this, Jin An glanced at Li Huwei, and he planned to question Li Huwei's identity this time.

At this moment, Guard Li, ever since he entered the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera, has been treacherous and cautious all the way.

This is the last time he killed himself and secretly fed peppers to the silly sheep. He was almost chased to the ends of the world by the runaway silly sheep. He was scared of being chased and killed by the silly sheep's horns.

I'm afraid that the calf that looks like a sheep will suddenly come out from some corner with red eyes.

Seeing Li Huwei's cautious and funny appearance, Jin An was a little bit dumbfounded and said, "Don't worry, Fatty Li, that stupid sheep has been tied up in the sheep house and won't run out."

Li Huwei was also stubborn, his neck stiffened, and his dead pig's mouth stiffened: "Afraid? I am a dignified Li, rich and noble can't be lewd, poor and humble can't be moved, mighty can't be subdued, how can I be afraid of a sheep?"

"Daoist Jin'an, please give me a little more time. I bought the gift in advance and specially used it as a tribute to Senior Brother Yang. It should be delivered soon."

Li Huwei said the most embarrassing words in the toughest words, which immediately amused Jin An and the old Taoist priest.

"What gift?"

Jin An didn't wait long when he heard a lot of wheels turning outside the gate of the Taoist temple. Then, he was shocked to see baskets of carrots being transported into the Taoist temple.

Those carrots, the roots are juicy and the leaves are tender.

It is not the same as the dry and dehydrated carrots caused by the drought around Fucheng.

It looked like fresh carrots that had been specially transported from outside Fucheng at a high price.

This batch of carrots was transported in three big trucks, weighing no more than a thousand catties. It would be a waste of money to feed a goat. It was more than enough to open a restaurant to make carved carrot roots, and it would not be sold out in a short time.

Jin An: "?"

Old Taoist: "?"

Sharpening the sword was still motionless.

The leading coachman, as soon as he entered the Taoist temple, immediately recognized Guard Li, who was still holding a mule driving whip in his hand, and said happily: "Boss Li, we have shipped all three carts of carrots according to your order. May I ask these Where did the carrots go?"

Li Huwei is familiar with himself, and with a finger pointing, he directed the coachmen to carry them in the direction of the sheep shed in the Taoist temple of five internal organs.

Nothing out of sight.

Even Li Huwei did it himself, took the lead in moving the baskets and walked ahead, and deliberately wiped a few handfuls of mud on his body, making himself miserable, muddy, and then ran to bribe the silly sheep while licking his face.

Jin'an and the old Taoist priest were stunned by Li Huwei's stinky and shameless manipulation. They made such a big move just to bribe a sheep?

When Jin An walked to the sheep shed in the backyard of the Taoist temple, he saw a harmonious scene. The guard Li didn't know what he had said to the silly sheep or what unequal agreement he had reached. Brushing his hair, he had an apologetic smile on his face, and Sha Yang didn't chase and kill Guard Li with red eyes this time.

An Ran ate the fresh and tender carrots that Guard Li had just delivered with the morning dew.

"Eldest brother, I've made you feel wronged. Are these limp carrots eaten by sheep? Humans won't eat them. We don't want this kind of dross!"

"Elder brother, come, come, eat the carrot that I sent you all the way from Yanzhou prefecture. The carrot in Yanzhou prefecture has an even bigger reputation, it's called little ginseng... It's big and colorful. Bright, sweet and refreshing taste, bite crunchy...crackkack..."

While Li Huwei said, brushing his hair, he also started to eat himself, saying that he was hungry.

In the face of Li Huwei's great hospitality.

Silly Sheep squinted his eyes, as vivid as a human being.

If an outsider sees this scene, they will definitely curse, this calf that looks like a sheep is definitely a damn fine.

"I have never seen such a brazen person." The old Taoist was annoyed.

"Little brother, old man, I'm going to eat a little ginseng carrot from Yanzhou Prefecture to see how delicious this little ginseng is, how nourishing it is, and how different it is from our rotten carrot."

It's just that the old Taoist priest won't come back...

Click.

Click.

Just listening to the crisp bite sound, it's really fragrant.

"!"
