The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 61 Pocket Watch
Xia Xiangxi opened her pocket watch and was also speechless in shock.

There was a photo on the case of the pocket watch, an old photo in black and white, and it was in good condition. You could clearly see that the photo was of a young woman, wearing that kind of old dress, This is not surprising.The main strange thing is that her face is very similar to Xia Xiangxi.

The moment he saw the photo, Xia Xiangxi felt that he might have traveled to the end of the Qing Dynasty and secretly left this photo in that era.

He Xuan said: "When I found this pocket watch, I thought it was incredible. If it weren't for the experts who told the age of this pocket watch and analyzed the era of the girl's life in the photo from the clothing, I really thought it was you by accident. Fallen stuff."

"Now, I feel that the world is extremely small. Apart from relatives, I can easily find such similar people." Xia Xiangxi sighed for a while, and then asked He Xuan how he found this thing, is it considered an archaeological excavation? ?

He Xuan said: "We lost a staff member. It took a lot of trouble to find him. He fell into a mountain depression. When he was found, he was already out of breath. His body seemed to be dried and turned into a dead body. Mummy, the body is covered with women's hair, even in his mouth. At first we thought that it should not be hair, but a strange vine plant, but after expert identification, it was determined that it was human hair, that The hair is still shiny, just like the hair of a living person. But no one can explain how the hair grew out of the ground, and then entangled the missing colleague. What is even more incredible is the mummy, because apart from Except for the weather conditions, it is impossible to quickly turn the corpse into a mummified corpse in such a short period of time. When we want to cut off the hair on the mummified corpse and take away the corpse of the colleague who has turned into a mummified corpse, even more terrible things happen That weird hair entangled another male colleague. We all wanted to save the colleague, and used various methods to cut and cut those hairs, but those hairs seemed to be alive, constantly Cut it off, and it kept growing. Not only did the colleague fail to be rescued, but one more victim was added. Later, someone got wise and burned those hairs with fire. This trick really worked, and the hairs seemed to be scared. Fleeing away, retracted into the earth.

Experts say that those hairs may be the culprit that turned our people into mummies. We must find out what those hairs are?On the other hand, our people cannot die in vain.

But we used many methods to dig the soil, just like digging a piece of pig iron, and we couldn't dig it at all.It is as hard as the soil you saw when you went to Sanwanggou before.Because that area is not the burial group discovered, but an ordinary valley, in order to find the truth, we are not polite, we found explosives, and wanted to use explosives to blow up the soil layer.We all thought that even if the ground was made of steel, it would not be able to withstand the power of this explosive.

But it was so strange that the stones pressed on the explosives were blown to pieces, but there was only a bucket-sized hole under the trench.Everyone thought it was incredible. Could it be that the soil layer was made of gold and steel?The more this happened, the more we wanted to know what was under the ground, so we continued to put explosives, this time the ground trembled like an earthquake.People can't stand anymore.We all know that this time the explosion should not be empty. When we got closer, we found that there was a hole under the trench, and a cold and cold wind was blowing from it, mixed with unspeakable medicine. Smell, we didn't expect such a smell to come out, and we didn't take precautions. As a result, everyone around the cave entrance was poisoned and their whole bodies were paralyzed.Because of this, although the entrance of the cave was found, no one dared to go down easily.Our experts said, or we were all negligent, the hole that was blasted was a tomb.Those medicinal scents, or some medicines used for antisepsis in ancient times.

We were both excited and saddened by the possible discovery of yet another burial that had already lost one of our staff.But in order to solve the mystery of those hair, we can only hide the pain in our hearts.In order to temporarily slow down the exploration and excavation on the Sanwanggou side for that tomb, many personnel were dispatched to the new tomb to prepare for the next step of excavation.But after spraying it for several days, the smell of the medicine is still very strong, and the air inside the hole is still poisonous when detected by instruments.We were in a hurry, but there was nothing we could do. We couldn't venture into the cave until the poisonous gas evaporated.

Then we decided to dig around that burial pit to see if there were any fallen tombstones or other burial mounds around.It turned out that the work was not in vain. Just a few tens of meters away from the tomb, another tomb was found. The stone tablet was carved with very strange characters, and our archaeologists were unable to decipher those words for a while. From the text, everyone thought that it must be an ancient tomb. Only after excavating did they realize that it was a tomb of clothing. Moreover, judging from the unearthed relics, the historical age is not very long. Experts estimate that the age should be in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

Among those relics, this pocket watch is included.Although the hands of my pocket watch are rusted, the photos inside are in good condition. When I first saw it, I was stunned, because the photo is almost exactly the same as yours. "When He Xuan said this, he explained clearly to Xia Xiangxi the reason for the pocket watch. Xia Xiangxi also seemed to understand what He Xuan was here for this trip.

At this time, a cool wind with a slight fishy smell blew over and messed up her hair. She hurriedly covered her hair with her hands and pulled out the strands of hair that had blown into her mouth.While she was shaking her hair in the direction of the wind, she suddenly saw Ma Po standing behind them for an unknown how long.Just as Xia Xiangxi was about to talk to Ma Po, Ma Po spoke first, telling Xia Xiangxi that it was going to rain, and asked Xia Xiangxi to help clean up the room so that He Xuan could stay at night.He Xuan was always careful to remember that Xia Xiangxi was worried that he would recruit Huanhuan again, so he hurriedly said that there was no need to trouble him, and he left immediately, returning to Sanwanggou just in time for dinner.

Xia Xiangxi pointed to the cloud layer that looked like flying sand, and said: "The weather is going to change, you rush back, and you are destined to be caught in the heavy rain. This is not a city, and you can find eaves to shelter from the rain everywhere." Yes, I will stay here for one night tonight, if the weather is fine when I get up early, it will not be too late for you to leave!"

He Xuan still hesitated, Xia Xiangxi didn't talk nonsense, left him alone in the corridor, and hurriedly helped Ma Po clean up.

After a few gusts of wind, the sun is not so strong, and the clouds are like ink falling into the water, rendering in circles.It didn't take long for the branches to sway, and after a gust of wind blew past, the sky became dark, and the dust on the ground seemed to be blown from the heart of the earth, and it was all blown into the air.When the dust settles a little, black clouds like black ink will be seen in the sky.

When Xia Xiangxi finished cleaning the house, he didn't see He Xuan upstairs, so he yelled, and he agreed downstairs. It turned out that he was going to move all the firewood downstairs to prevent it from being rained again.The fire and cooking in this mountain all depend on the firewood, and if you get wet, you can only starve.

It was rare for Ma Po to praise someone, saying that He Xuan was not as careless as ordinary men.After boasting, he took a look at Xia Xiangxi, as if he was waiting for Xia Xiangxi's next words.Xia Xiangxi's reaction was a bit slow, he didn't catch what Ma Po was talking about, and he didn't know what to say in response to Ma Po, so he smiled dryly, and felt that the smile was meaningless after laughing.

The whirlwind rolled up the dry soil that exuded a fishy smell, and rushed straight to the place like Xia Xiangxi Station. Xia Xiangxi hurriedly pulled Ma Po away.Ma Po didn't let Xia Xiangxi pull her away, she just spit at the whirlwind and cursed harshly.

Xia Xiangxi was surprised, and Ma Po said: "Dirty things like to be wrapped in the whirlwind are the most favorite things. When people are wrapped up, it is easy to sweep away people's souls. You must spit and curse a few words. The dirty things hidden in the whirlwind Things don’t dare to be presumptuous.”

There was a sound of footsteps coming up the stairs below.It was only at this time that Xia Xiangxi remembered that his grandfather was still on the street. When he looked at the street downstairs, there was no one there, and when he looked at the stairs, He Xuan helped his grandfather to come up.

It's just that there was a frightening wind blowing that day, and the rain was like someone pretending to cry, squeezed out a few drops dryly, and disappeared after falling to the ground.

This night, He Xuan had already arranged a room for him, but He Xuan stayed in his grandfather's room all night.From time to time, Xia Xiangxi could hear her grandfather's "hmmm" in response through the wall, and He Xuan was the one who said the rest.I don't know where He Xuan talked so much?

But it's rare that grandpa is so interested, so Xia Xiangxi didn't care too much.The next day, Xia Xiangxi woke up at dawn, thinking of making dinner for He Xuan early so that he could go on his way early.

Ma Po also got up, and when she saw Xia Xiangxi coming out, she told her that the food was being warmed in the pot and asked her to eat by herself.Xia Xiangxi was a little strange, why is the meal so early today?

Xia Xiangxi said that she would wait for her grandfather to eat together.But Ma Po said to let her just eat her own food. Grandpa and He Xuan had eaten it long ago and had already left the house.

Xia Xiangxi was startled, and asked Ma Po, "Did Grandpa and He Xuan go out together? What are you going to do?"

Ma Po numbly shook her head and went back to her own room.

Xia Xiangxi was busy calling He Xuan's mobile phone but couldn't reach him.Xia Xiangxi was so angry that he didn't know what to do, He Xuan actually abducted his grandfather, although it was easy to say.
