Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine
Chapter 151 The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
"This tiger is similar to cats and dogs. I heard from my mother that when cats and dogs are about to die, they will leave their owners and find a place where no one is around to die quietly. It seems that this is their habit."
Chou Chou nodded, "Animals, like people, like to find a place to bury their own bones, just like humans, when they are alive, they think of finding a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to bury without being disturbed when they die.
The ancients said that death is like life. In fact, this is an animal instinct. After all, human beings are also a kind of animal, but it is more obvious when it comes to human beings.
In fact, I really can't understand your later generations' practice of burning your own corpses into a handful of ashes. According to the ancients, that is the wrong bones and ashes. Only people with great hatred will do this. "
Qingyan didn't understand why. She remembered that when she was a child, they were all buried in the ground. She and her parents attended the funerals of relatives in her hometown several times, and they were all buried in the ground.
It is said that the coffins they used were all prepared in advance, some were prepared with the help of their children, and some were prepared by the old people themselves, so there is a talk about saving coffins.
It was to save up the money for the coffin and the funeral in advance, but then slowly began to say that burials occupy land and pollute the environment. done.
But this really can't be banned. Although the corpse will be cremated, the funeral ceremony doesn't seem to be much simplified, and I don't know if it's because of guilt for the deceased, it seems that there are more fuss.
Especially in rural areas, people who don't know where to start will invite some opera troupes or singing and dancing performers at funerals.
I don’t know why there is an extra layer of cremation procedures. The cemetery is still so big. Even if it is changed from a big coffin to a small box, I still have to buy a grave and erect a monument. I feel that the land occupation is not too small. .
But this is the policy of the above, as ordinary people, they can only follow the policy.
Qingyan asked Chouchou curiously: "Then can you tell how much time this tiger has left to live? It doesn't come here because it wants to die in this village, right? It's not remote or quiet here."
Chou Chou shook his head, "That's not true. It should be that passing by doesn't look like it's going into the stockade. It has already bypassed the stockade and headed north."
Qingyan: "Is that the mountain stream with many bones over there?"
Chou Chou nodded, "It's over there."
Qingyan: "It doesn't think that there are many bones there is a good place to bury it?"
Chou Chou shook his head, "That's not clear. There are many bones there, and the yin and death energy is indeed heavier. It may think that it is more suitable to wait for death. After many years, it will turn into bones and mix with those bones. People get it back and make tiger bone paste to make tiger bone wine."
When Qingyan heard this, she immediately regained her spirits, "Then it's going to die anyway, can we..."
Chou Chou glanced at her, "Don't think about it, even if we are going to die, we can't wait, you can't kill him now, can you? The tiger is already so old, you just want to die quietly, you are not satisfied People?"
Qingyan rolled her eyes because of it, "Since when did you become so kind? Do you still remember that you are an ancient beast?"
Chou Chou looked at her seriously, "Correct me, I am an ancient strange beast, not a ferocious beast."
"Okay, okay, it's a strange beast and not a ferocious beast. I'm wrong, so it's okay. You are both beasts, so do you feel the sorrow of the rabbit dying and the fox?"
Chou Chou scratched his chin, "That's not true, if a strong tiger came to attack you or was hostile, I would slap it to death without hesitation.
However, this kind of old and slow-moving tiger will have some pity.Maybe I have been with you human beings for a long time, and I have a bad habit of pity the weak, cherish the poor, respect the old and love the young. "
Qingyan picked it up from the bench in a funny way, rubbed the fur on its body, "What a bad habit, this is a good habit, well, your thinking is right, if it is already a corpse, It's fair to say that we picked up the corpse, after all, he's still alive, I think that's really a bit cruel.
Alright, let's discuss where to stay before the time to leave. Now that there are more mosquitoes, we can't wait in the yard until it gets dark. "
Because of being in the forest, although it was not yet two o'clock, when it was still hot, mosquitoes were already active in the grass, especially here not far from a water pool, where the vegetation was flourishing, and there were more mosquitoes and the like.
Fortunately, the ancient costumes are long clothes and trousers, and Qingyan doesn't have the physique of attracting mosquitoes like her old mother.
Although I would be stared at occasionally, it wasn't like my old lady would get bitten all over her body as if she had stabbed a mosquito nest whenever she went to a place with mosquitoes.
She is fortunate that she is half of her father's blood, and she will only be bitten when there are too many mosquitoes.
Chou Chou pointed to the west corner of the yard, "there is wormwood there, don't get the fresh ones, the ones below should be from last year, you can collect them, braid them into braids and set them on fire, the mosquitoes will be fumigated after a while .”
Qingyan walked over to have a look, and there were quite a few on the ground, so she gathered up the withered and yellow wormwood on the ground, made a bundle that could be hugged by her arms, and then stopped. Anyway, she didn't stay here for a long time, just enough for today. .
Get them on the stone road and braid them into a long braid.
I only braided the thick wrist, and then took a pinch to continue where it was broken, and weaved it down bit by bit, and finally weaved it to be five or six meters long.
After weaving it, I hung one end on the window sill, and the rotten wooden window frame on the top was torn off directly, saving it from being set on fire for a while, and leaving the stone window sill alone, which is safer.
Then one end hung in the air, and the other drooped to the ground.
Go into the room and click on the suspended position, and after a while, thick smoke will float up.
It was a bit choking at first, but I got used to it after a while. The smell of wormwood is quite strong.
Qingyan watched the mosquitoes inside and outside the room were scattered and flew away by the smoke, and some other small insects were also smoked out of the room.
After waiting for a while, Qingyan carried the tables and benches from the yard into the house, and tied the horse to the upwind not far from the window, so as to save the horse from getting smoked.
This room is the one with the entrance to the underground stone room just now. This room should have been a bedroom before. Except for the cabinet that was knocked down, there were no other signs of fighting.
It should be that when the officers and soldiers came, everyone went out to fight, and most of the traces were on the side of the main room and in the yard. This place should have been messed up during the search later.
The rag that wiped the table before was found in this fallen cabinet.
Walking towards the bed, I didn't have time to look at the bed just now, now I have to take a good look to see if there is anything.
Of course, there is no such exquisitely carved Babu bed in this cottage. It is very laborious to transport it up the mountain or to build it here.
Inside the room is a relatively ordinary large wooden bed. The wood should not be ordinary wood, but it looks quite strong, and it has not rotted like the window frame after so many years.
Of course, it may also have something to do with being in the house and not being exposed to wind and sun.
Qingyan said to Chouchou: "Chouchou, do you know what kind of wood this bed is made of? And see if there are any organs near this bed, don't all the ancients on TV like to put some important small objects Hiding in the dark compartment of the bed, or near under the bed?"
People habitually feel at ease when they put things close to them when they sleep.
Hearing what she said, Chou Chou used his consciousness to search the bed carefully, not to mention, he really found a hidden compartment!
"I found it. There is a hidden compartment on the bed frame next to the wall, and what looks like a seal is placed inside."
Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "Seal? The owner of a copycat village, to put it bluntly, is a bandit leader, yet he still has a seal?
He not only wants to occupy the mountain as king, but also plans to become king himself?Even the jade seal is ready. "
Facing Qingyan's imagination, Chou Chou was speechless, "Take it out and have a look and you'll know. It's not so big to say it's a jade seal. It's not that big, it's just a small seal."
"Wait, let me look for it first and see if I can find the mechanism."
Qingyan stops Chou Chou who wants to go forward, and prepares to try it herself first. She likes this kind of treasure hunting. Although she doesn't succeed every time, Chou Chou saves the scene in the end.
Chouchou was not in a hurry to move forward, he jumped on her shoulder and let her do it.
Qingyan walked to the side of the bed, looked at the position Chou Chou said, looked up and down, left, right, left, right, and right, but she didn't see where the secret compartment was located.
I touched it from top to bottom with my hands, pushed the head of the bed, and patted the wood, but there was no response.
In the end, he looked at Chou Chou helplessly.
Chouchou jumped off her shoulders, stretched out his little paws and pressed on a wooden wedge.
The wooden wedge is at the joint between the bedside rail and the vertical bed frame. Because it is a mortise and tenon structure, there are usually such wooden wedges at the joint. You will think that it is a hidden mechanism.
The wooden wedge was pressed, and there was a light click, and a rectangular crack appeared underneath, and then Chou Chou pressed the rectangle again, and the rectangular wooden block was ejected.
This mechanism is not complicated. The principle is to pin the wooden block with the wooden wedge just now, and the wooden block will loosen when you press it down, and it will be pushed out by the things inside when you press it again.
Chouchou stretched out his claws and took out the wooden box inside. The hole was not big, which meant that Choucho's claws could go in and out freely, otherwise Qingyan would have to find a tool to take it out.
The wooden box was not much bigger than a baby's fist, and when it was opened, there was a seal carved from jade with plenty of water inside.
Qingyan turned the seal over to look, um, she couldn't read it at all.
I don't know what font is engraved on this seal. Only the last printed word can be understood, and the other characters are completely incomprehensible.
Ask Chou Chou, Chou Chou doesn't even know him.
Qingyan also knows that it is good if it can read. After all, there are still many ancient fonts. With a history of 5000 years, and there are many ethnic groups, this character is not sure what it is.
But it's hard to get just because of the material of this seal, Qingyan put it back into the wooden box, ready to take it back and show it to her father.
Her father has a lot of research on ancient culture, because when he collected shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea, he collected a lot of antiques, many of which he didn't know. Her mother was more curious about those, so my father studied them for a while.
He really read a lot of books about antiques, and even went to the university to ask some experts and professors, because he was afraid that when her mother asked, he would not be able to answer questions, and then his omnipotent image in his mother's heart would collapse.
As the daughter of the two of them, she was a little envious. How could my mother be so lucky to find such a good man? How would she find a partner in the future? She directly raised her mate selection standards too much .
Well, the topic is getting far away again, let's talk about the present.
Qingyan put away the seal and looked at the bed again, only to realize that the dusty cushion on the bed was not a mat or felt, but an animal skin!
"Chou Chou, what kind of animal skin is this? Why is it so big?"
It should be because it is too old, the fur is a little weathered, and it is impossible to tell what color it was.
Chou Chou: "The bed is covered with a bear skin, brown bear's, which is found in the mountains here, so it's not unusual.
However, because it has been too long, and it has not been well protected, it is already a bit rotten. It is estimated that it will rot as soon as it is picked up. "
Qingyan nodded regretfully. It would be great if it was intact. She can take it home for her family to use. In future generations, this bear cannot be hunted, and it is already a protected animal.
"This village owner will enjoy it, but it's a pity that his fate is not good. He chose such a place to occupy the mountain as the king. It is so close to the Xingtang Mansion. It is impossible for the Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty to let such a force jump under his nose. Da’s, it’s a matter of time before it goes extinct.”
Afterwards, Qingyan felt that being idle was idle anyway, so she asked Chouchou to search the other houses in the village again with her spiritual sense, to see if there were any such escaped fish.
Even if it is some pottery that seems worthless now, it should be quite valuable in future generations.
Chouchou searched around again with his spiritual sense, and found some gold and silver jewelry in the walls and cracks of some houses.
There are not many single ones, and there are quite a few pieces from so many houses, but there are no pottery and porcelain, and some have been broken.
Those officers and soldiers before were not stupid, they couldn't just move the things here, and every house was searched, and these fish that slipped through the net were hidden in secret, so they weren't taken away.
Chouchou directly used his spiritual sense to get those things back, and put them on the table for Qingyan to see.
Qingyan picked them up one by one and looked at them. The most valuable ones were two pieces of gold and a few ingots of silver. It seemed that the hiding place was not big, so they didn't hide much, or what was more was taken away.
