I slowly moved to my little brother's side, pouting a little unconsciously, my eyes never leaving his hands, full of concern and worry.

In my peripheral vision, I felt him looking at me, so I turned to look at him. His warm eyes were looking at me, which made me feel warmer.The little brother knew what I was thinking, and he was considering my feelings. He blinked at me and shook his head slightly, which probably meant "I'm fine, don't worry." I had no choice but to purse my lips and give him a slight smile. He nodded and responded "Okay then".

After a while, they all came near the snake bones. Wu Xie first told them what he had just discovered. After hearing this, Aning became a little nervous and immediately walked over to take a look.

The fat man chuckled and said, "No wonder I felt like someone was calling me just now. It turns out that we have revolutionary predecessors who died here. What a coincidence. Let's dig it out quickly and pay our respects."

They were going to dig this thing, and the little brother said to me softly: "Go and wait over there." I followed his line of sight and saw that it was close to the tree itself, where you could sit down and rest, and there was some cover. There was a place where the rain was relatively light. I pointed in that direction and asked him: "Over there?" The little brother nodded, so I walked over obediently, sat down, and watched them start to work.

Although the rain was still heavy at this time, it had become calmer, and the rain on my body was relatively gentle. I saw that Wu Xie was jealous of the blood left by his little brother, and was carefully removing the cuffs stained with his blood. Protect it.

Wu Xie thought to himself, what might he encounter on the road ahead? The blood of Menyou Ping was like a peace charm, maybe it could be used to save his life.
At this time, a few more people climbed up. The plant carcass looked like they couldn't help it. It didn't feel very safe to step on it. Fatty and Wu Xie had to put their other foot on a branch on the side to prevent this. Things collapse.

They stood still and began to use daggers to cut away the dead vines inside, exposing the snake carcasses wrapped in them.

I sat there and watched them work, holding the blood crystal spirit stone with my brother's heart rate hidden in my clothes on my chest. I put it together with the little fox tail and wore it with me.Touching the blood crystal was like touching his pulse. Although it was most reassuring to put it directly against his heart, he was busy, so he had to touch the small stone.

It's inconvenient to do things in heavy rain, especially if you have a hairstyle with bangs. As soon as you lower your head, the rain will flow down along the bangs. From time to time, they have to shake the rain off their hair to see clearly what's underneath. I really want to give it a try. They were wearing hairpins, and it suddenly occurred to me that if the little brother had hairpins or pigtails... it would be very cute, and I couldn't help but smile.

Later, while they were struggling in the rain, I leaned against the tree trunk and thought about something, such as how big this snake would be if it could swallow a person in one bite...

I remember that there is a special square bone on the mandible of snakes. The mouth of snakes can be opened in two stages. The opening and closing angle of their mouths can be as wide as 130 degrees, and the maximum angle can reach 180 degrees. This should It’s a mouthful...

Its mandible is composed of two different parts, the middle can be opened and closed, and the mouth and bones are connected to each other by ligaments. The skin on the outside of the mandible can stretch to more than three times the normal size, so it can swallow whole that is much larger than itself. times the prey.

The snake's stomach and intestines are like straight tubes, which is conducive to swallowing larger volumes of food.

The standard shoulder width of a normal person should be one-quarter of the height or as wide as two to three heads. The brother said that the corpse was a woman, so the height should be between 1 and 65 meters. The shoulder width should be at least It needs to be between 1 and 75 centimeters. If its mouth can open to a maximum of 40 degrees, and the skin on the outside of its jaw can stretch to 55 times, this snake is at least 180 centimeters thick at its thinnest, and it must be more than that... The territory of the Queen Mother of the West It's thousands of years older than the Bronze Tree. Does it have to be twice as big... How long does it have to be... The amount of work is a bit big... Look at the extent of the snake's decay, and it's entangled in the vines. , I think they dug up human bones and that’s pretty much it...

Fatty has always been very motivated, making bold moves, without even thinking about whether the sword will damage the bones of his revolutionary predecessors.

Soon a bigger gap was dug out in the vine, and a huge snake bone was exposed. I heard the fat man yelling in surprise: "Holy crap! This is a fucking snake, or a snake demon, who cares?" Mother, you are so big!"

Wu Xie was also surprised and said: "The diameter of this snake bone must be as thick as a human being. Such a big snake might not need more than a minute to eat a human being."

When I heard it, it was as thick as a person... Isn't that similar to what I just thought? Fortunately, this is a corpse...

They pulled the coiled snake bones and saw the remains of the twisted woman's skeleton inside. Wu Xie said: "It seems that this giant python should have just swallowed this person when it died. Look at this, There are also clothes that are not completely corroded. He died soon after eating them. Why?"

I said: "If this is a stupid snake, then it may be strangled to death. Snakes don't often swallow large animals, and the food will get stuck in their mouths. They want to spit it out but can't, and they want to swallow but can't. Again. Or they may break their teeth and bones, leaving their mouth full of blood. Sometimes, after swallowing, the animal's thorns and bones will pierce its snake intestines and body walls and die.

But obviously this one is not going to die. First of all, it is very big, and a person cannot get stuck in its throat. This snake is so big, it should be a big snake that has lived for thousands of years. It is definitely not a fool, it must be something. For other reasons, perhaps the human being attacked by it fought back and wounded it. After being injured, it lay here, which attracted grass ticks and sucked it dry.

Or maybe it encountered an accident, for example, an enemy more ferocious than it... Don't forget, this is the ancient forest of the Queen Mother of the West. Thousands of years ago, there should be a lot of monsters, but this one is obviously more than nine years old. If Nian is still alive, then his enemy is probably still in the woods. "After I finished speaking, my heart skipped a beat. If we really had this thing, we little guys wouldn't be able to fit it between our teeth...

Wu Xie and Fatty were dumbfounded, and the younger brother also frowned slightly, probably thinking the same thing as me.

Wu Xie saw that Pan Zi was imitating his younger brother. He leaned over and pinched out a piece of stainless steel belt buckle with only a few rust spots. He scraped it with a knife and handed it to Wu Xie. They put it Looking under the lamp, there are several numbers engraved on it: "02200059"

Wu Xie was taken aback, and immediately looked at Aning and said, "This is your company's registration number, then this is your person!"

Aning didn't understand for a moment and asked him doubtfully: "What?" She took it and took a closer look, and her face suddenly turned pale, "This..." Wu Xie asked her: "Look, that's right. Bar?"

Aning nodded, probably feeling a little panicked. He didn't care that the platform was already crumbling. He picked up the miner's lamp and jumped into the gap they dug. He squatted down and used the miner's lamp to illuminate the skeleton.

The fat man asked Wu Xie: "What identification code? What the hell?"

Wu Xie said: "This set of numbers is a set of mysterious numbers deciphered from the last silk book of the Warring States Period. After Wang Zanghai deciphered it, he was puzzled by the solution, so he called it the number of days and used it as his own Password. But I don’t know why Tie Miansheng hid this strange set of numbers in the latest silk book. These numbers are also the registration numbers of their company."

Among them, only Wu Xie wore the equipment of Aning Company, so only he had the logo on it.After seeing this, the fat man showed a very unhappy expression, and turned to ask Aning: "Hey, Miss Ning, are you fucking messing with us again? Look, your people have been here a long time ago. ”

Aning shook his head and glared at the fat man and said, "It's impossible. There are no records at all in the company. If we had been here, with our strength, it would never be your turn to cooperate with me."

The fat man snorted with disdain, raised the belt buckle and asked, "It's useless to be tough. How do you explain this?"

Aning turned to look at him coldly, obviously feeling uncomfortable and said: "I don't know! Please be quiet, let me see this dead man first, and then I will explain to you!"

Wu Xie naturally knew that Aning was telling lies with her eyes open, her face was pale and she was out of breath, and she had been deceived by her before. It was normal for them not to believe her, but now was not a crisis moment, and there was no need for her to tell this lie. Since Now that we are all walking on the same road, it is best not to make the relationship too tense.

The fat man was a little sullen when An Ning choked him, so Pan Zi wanted to see Wu Xie's reaction. Wu Xie glanced at Menyoupin again, but he didn't show any reaction, so he gave Pan Zi a wink to tell him to be quiet. , let’s see what you mean.

At this moment, I suddenly thought of what my grandma wrote in my grandfather's notes: "Those who stand by your side in times of crisis may not necessarily be able to share wealth and wealth with you, and those who betray you in times of crisis may not necessarily be the same ones." If we can't get along with each other, the world is impermanent, so husband and wife should work together to support each other." There is an example in front of us, An Ning and Men You Ping, who just fit this sentence.

The fat man was about to speak, but Wu Xie stopped him and said, "Stop asking questions now, and then we'll go see the skeleton."

They saw Aning put his hand to the neck of the twisted skeleton, searching for something, but they probably found nothing.

Then she climbed up and said to them: "This body has no name tag!" Then she took out a necklace from her collar and showed it to them.

The fat man looked at her and said, "What do you mean?"

Aning said with a very serious expression: "I joined the company in 1997. From that year on, we have to wear this brand on every project. This is a way to learn from the US military, so that we can easily know the identity of the corpse, but this corpse has No, it should be the team before 97. It seems that they should be people from our company...but I really didn't get any information about this team in the company."

The fat man said angrily: "But this corpse can't lie. Don't say that this python swam to your company and ate a person and then came back."

Wu Xie thought to himself, if people from Aning Company had arrived here before 1997, then why would they need so much energy to get here again this time? This is unreasonable. What is strange here? …

Suddenly, the little brother who had been looking at the corpse said "Hmm".Several people were stunned and looked at him together. Menyouping was staring at the snake bone with a surprised expression on his face. It was not easy for him to show such an expression. He must have discovered something. This was an extremely strange thing. They all hurriedly moved over and followed his gaze.

But after watching for a while, he couldn't tell what was surprising him. The fat man raised his head and asked him, "What's wrong? Don't scare me in the middle of the night."

The little brother ignored the fat man, but turned to look at Aning and said to her: "It's so strange, this seems to be your body..."

After the little brother finished speaking, several people were stunned. What he said seemed a bit inexplicable... Wu Xie asked him: "Isn't it said that this body has been dead for a long time, why did it suddenly become An Ning's body, and An Ning... You can't stand here properly."

The little brother still ignored them, but carefully took off the bracelet from the corpse's hand bone, handed it to Aning, and gave her a "take a look" look.

Aning took it inexplicably, looked at the little brother, and then looked at the bracelet.After a moment, her expression changed from confusion to fear, and her face turned pale in an instant.
