Chapter 318 Small Iron Block

318 310 Chapter [-] Small Iron Block
The fat man pulled the backpack and made a lot of noise. The two rafts were shaking. I fell down from my squatting position. Wu Xie quickly stopped the fat man and said to him: "Slow down, don't be in a hurry, wait a moment." If the raft capsizes, the catch will be in vain, let’s go back to the shore first.”

The fat man shook his head and said, "No, we don't know what's inside. If it's a dead person or something that Agui can't see, are you going to kill someone and silence him? We have to see it here first."

I sat down and looked at them and said, "I also think it's better to take a look first. Let's do it quickly. If we stay here for too long, they will become suspicious. We are becoming less and less like tour guides." "

Wu Xie thought about it and said, "It's not a good thing to let them know too much, so let's dismantle it quickly."

The fat man pulled it a few times and then said: "Don't tell me, the quality of military products at that time was really good. It has been in use for decades, and you can still tell it is a leather bag. And you can see that the leather is so thin and it's still rotten." Now that it’s like this, it’s so strong that I can’t tear it apart.”

Wu Xie touched it and said, "The buckle is on the back, let's turn it over."

Following them, they carefully turned the bag over on the raft. During the process, the fat man squeezed it and said, "It's so soft. What the hell."

Wu Xie said: "This kind of bag is originally used to store clothes or more clothing materials. It feels like a ball of cotton wool. What could be turned out is a quilt? That would be funny."

I said: "It's really a good quilt, at least it's not scary."

Wu Xie nodded: "Well, that's right."

Then we saw the iron buckle on the back of the bag, but it was so rusted that it couldn't be opened. The fat man pulled out the sickle and made a cut on the bag, exposing the wire frame inside.

Wu Xie suddenly said: "Hey, Fatty, please drive slowly so that I can be mentally prepared."

The fat man cleared his throat and said, "You're afraid there's really a corpse inside."

Wu Xie said: "Well, I have seen a very old domestic police and gangster movie before, and there was this kind of bag in it. It was used to throw corpses. It contained body parts, which still caused a bit of psychological shadow."

I always felt that Panma and the others didn't have the time to stuff people into bags, but something that had been rotting for decades would be ugly. I wanted to see what was inside, but I was a little afraid to look at it.

The fat man very carefully used a sickle to open the cowhide. The fat man grinned and said, "Well, it's a rotten blanket. Let me look inside." Then he stirred it with a knife and found something at the bottom of the rotten cotton wool. , he fiddled with it and pulled out all these things like archeology.

After a while, I took out three combs. I looked at them and said, "This man is quite particular, and this is a woman's bag."

The fat man asked, "Why?"

I said: "Comes, do men use so many combs? Also, did you see the one with particularly large teeth? If a man has short hair, he won't need that kind of comb. These three are used to comb different lengths." For hair, it must be used to comb long hair.

Moreover, if this is the group of people in Xisha, I can think of who this bag belongs to. "

Wu Xie said "Ah" and said, "If it's that group of people, you mean this bag can't be Huo..."

I nodded hastily: "It's possible. You see, decades have passed since she transformed into a corpse. She has forgotten everything except sitting in front of the mirror and combing her hair. It can be said that Combing her hair was something she was very persistent about. She must have loved her hair very much when she was alive. You see, combs are so particular. Most people just need a comb to comb their hair."

Wu Xie asked doubtfully: "But if the archaeological team is replaced, then Huo Ling from Golmud may not be the real one, and the bag may not be hers."

I clicked my tongue and said, "Pan Ma only said that they killed all the archaeological team members, but they didn't seem to have counted how many people they killed in total, and they couldn't even recognize the people. How do you know?" There are no survivors yet.

Besides, Wen Jin is real, Huo Ling has been with her all the time. There is indeed a fake couple, but there is also a real couple. "

Wu Xie said "Uh..." and was speechless. Just as he was saying this, the fat man took out two more hairpins, and then took out a chairman's badge, a wooden frame, a Pechoin cream, and another There is a tea can.

The fat man looked at it and said, "Well," he said, "Whether it's Huo Ling's or not, it's definitely a woman's bag."

Wu Xie looked at the Pechoin Snow Cream and tea cans and said: "These two cans are made of iron and are very rusty. However, because the state of the lake bottom is stable, it can be seen that the rust will stop when it reaches a certain level."

He followed him and picked up the wooden frame and said, "I'm actually most interested in the photos inside the frame, but they have been completely soaked by water. As long as the cover on the back of the frame is unscrewed, everything inside will definitely be rotten, even if it doesn't It’s rotten, and the remaining color bars can’t tell what the photo was taken from.”

The fat man shook the tea can and said, "Oh, there's something there. It seems to be sealed." He tried to open it, but it was already rusty, so he used a sickle as a hammer to hit the bottom of the can twice. Feeling bad, the raft couldn't bear the beating, so he had no choice but to get into the water, and while swimming on his back, he put the jar on his chest and beat it, and the clear drum-like sound echoed on the lake.

Wu Xie asked: "Xiao Xun, what kind of animal do you think he looks like now?"

I said: "Animals, backstroke on the water, holding hands... Oh! Big otter."

Wu Xie shook his head and said, "It's a fat otter."

We laughed as we said that. Soon, the bottom of the jar was cracked by the fat man. He poured out a piece of black stuff from the inside and immediately exclaimed: "Fuck!"

When we took a look, it turned out to be a small piece of iron. I looked at the little brother, and his expression was very serious. This was the kind of iron piece that the little brother said was dangerous, but this piece was much smaller, about the size of a thumb.The fat man muttered: "It's this kind of thing again. It seems that this suitcase does belong to the archaeological team at that time. That old man Panma didn't lie to us. What the hell is this thing?"

Wu Xie took the iron block and looked at it carefully and said, "This iron block is much smaller than the one on the oil bottle. Its surface is relatively smooth. Although it is rusty, it is much cleaner than the one on the oil bottle." , the pattern on it is still clearly distinguishable. It seems that this kind of iron block should originally look like this. Looking at the very exquisite decorative pattern on it, it is obviously a very superb work of art.

This small piece of iron has an irregular cross-section and is obviously not a whole. It should be a fragment of another thing. These iron pieces should come from one or several large iron tools.

In short, regardless of whether there has been any incident of the archaeological team being transferred here, we still have to continue to look for the equipment and traces that they threw into the lake. I think those corpses are likely to be nearby.

Then there is the matter of the ancient village at the bottom of the lake. How could there be a village submerged at the bottom of a lake deep in the mountains?These iron blocks come from this village. What are they originally and what are their uses?Why would the archaeological team know about this and want to salvage them? Damn, there may be more tricks after this.

We can only ask Agui again about the lake. However, I feel that he will not have much information to give us, and we must carefully observe the bottom of the lake and fish out everything that can be found below. "

When I heard about it, I said, "Catch them all. It's a big project. Isn't it going to cause too much noise?"

Wu Xie said: "But the answers to these two points are all under the water, and there is no good way."

I always felt that this might cause big trouble, but I must also explore it. This is indeed the only way, so I couldn't help but sigh.

The fat man sighed and said: "It looks like we have to soak in the water for a long time, but the equipment we have now is not good. Look at the rope, it is already brittle, and we won't be able to hold on for long."

I said, "Brother Wu Xie can't go into the water anymore. You have to get treatment first."

The little brother who had not spoken for a long time suddenly said: "Make a mark in this water area and go up first."

Wu Xie responded: "Yes."

Li Yue said: "If you have decided, we will go ashore first. Wu Xie still needs to check."

After that, Li Yue and Wu Xie returned to the shore first. Yun Cai shouted "Ah" when she saw Wu Xie's appearance. She was really frightened when she saw Wu Xie bleeding a lot. She said: "Oh my God." "What did you do? Don't move." She quickly took two strips of cloth and stuffed Wu Xie's nose.

Li Yue went back to the shack to change clothes, and Wu Xie squatted in the grass to change. I watched the little brother mark the area with a nylon rope and a float, and then together with the fat man, he pulled the raft from the water to the shore, like using The raft was lifted like a stretcher, along with the rotten cowhide bags on the raft, and carried all the way to the dry place on the shore.

Seeing that they were coming back soon, I hurriedly took out my brother's clean clothes and stood there waiting for him to come over.

He got closer and closer to me with an expressionless face, and stopped in front of me, staring directly at me. I raised my hands in front of me and handed it to him.

After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly reached out, but he didn't take the clothes I was holding. Instead, he reached out to me, pinched my nose gently and shook it. I closed my eyes reflexively, and he let go. Hand, I opened my eyes, he took the clothes without looking back, suddenly stopped when his body was parallel to mine, and whispered to me: "Don't look back."

I burst out laughing, took a step back, turned to look at him and said mischievously, "Why, you're so shy."

He glanced at me lightly, and then slapped my little buttocks with a "slap". I yelled "ah", and I was stunned for a moment while covering my little buttocks. I was caught off guard, and I thought to myself, still... It hurts...

Then his face suddenly came close to mine, and he said in a cold tone: "When did you become so naughty?"

I rubbed my buttocks and said to him, "No."

He pinched my cheek with one hand and said to me, "Wait for me."

I pursed my lips and nodded to him.

The little brother and the fat man also went to the grass. After changing their clothes, they walked to a stone that was exposed to the sun. I vaguely heard the fat man saying to them: "The sun is quite fierce. If you leave it here, you will do it yourself." The three of them threw their underwear on the rocks over there to dry, and then they all walked back.

I squatted there in a daze waiting for him. The little brother came to me and touched my little head. I raised my head and looked at him. He reached out to me and pulled me up. I immediately hugged him and looked up with a smile. Looking at him, he raised his hand to brush my hair, gently scratched my little nose, and then hugged me.

The fat man passed by us and looked at us with his head tilted. Just as he was about to tease us, Yuncai and Agui asked him what we fished out of the water. Obviously they were very curious. Yuncai wanted to see it because there was nothing special inside, so The fat man asked her to see it, but she was so disgusted after seeing it.

Wu Xie found it difficult to walk after changing his clothes. Li Yue asked him, "Is it difficult?"

Wu Xie said feebly: "I feel like the bones are cracked from the inside. It hurts and I can't use any strength."

Li Yue said: "You'd better have a good rest these days and don't move around, especially don't dive anymore, it's very dangerous."

After that, we all ate a few wild fruits to replenish sugar. While eating, the fat man asked: "Agui, do you know about Yancun?"

Agui said in confusion: "Yancun, I never knew there was a village under this lake."
