Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 289 Skeleton Dynamite
I disassembled and analyzed this sentence word by word, but after a long while, I couldn't figure out what deep meaning was contained in it?
Firstly, it’s because my brain is almost muddled, and secondly, of course, it’s because my understanding of the Nine-story Pagoda is really limited.

Except for the allusion told by Lao Yan, I can say that I don't know anything about the Nine-story Pagoda.

"Forget it!" I pulled the sleeping bag over my head angrily, not wanting to think about it.

After tossing and turning like this for a long time, the sky was already dark, and I was just about to squint for a while, when there was the sound of Kuai Dao yelling from 303.

I got out of my sleeping bag impatiently: "The ghost roaring early in the morning..."

Halfway through the yelling, the words got stuck in the throat, and it was very uncomfortable to be unable to go up or down, but what made people more uncomfortable was the scene in front of them.

The fire had been extinguished after burning overnight, and this piece of snow had already melted under the high temperature, revealing the true face under the snow.But this true face is not so easy to accept-the upper part of a skull is embedded in the soil, and the two eye sockets are facing the sharp knife.

Now I can't yell, although I don't like people in 303, but I have to admit that if I open my eyes and see such a thing staring at me, I will not be better than Quick Knife go!
Kuaidao's call woke up everyone, and everyone's first reaction after waking up was to curse like me, including the people at 303, which shows how annoying it is to disturb people's dreams.But their subsequent reaction was the same as mine. Half of the curse was suffocated in their mouths, and they couldn't hold back any words for a long time.

"It's just a skull, I don't know much about it." In the end, the boy yawned and waved his hands indifferently: "I said that you are really enough, just to disturb people to sleep because of such a thing , do you want to live?"

I glanced at Yazai suspiciously. Wasn't this bastard less courageous than a mouse before?
Just now I was thinking that it was Yazai who got up and saw this thing. It is probably more earth-shattering than Kuaidao. How did he look like this in a blink of an eye?

Then I found out something was wrong, this kid was obviously a strong foreigner, his hands were shaking from fright, and he was still trying to be brave, presumably it was also to stimulate the 303 people.

I approached Yazai calmly to prevent him from being ridiculed, and then I turned my head and smiled: "Director Liu and the others usually deal with clerical jobs. Where have I seen such a scene? It seems that I was frightened. Director Liu still Quickly comfort and comfort, don't let your subordinates lose their souls."

Liu Hanqiu's complexion was not good, and he raised his chin at the butcher, and the latter squatted in front of the fire, with a pair of big palm-leaf fan-like hands directly covering the skull, and he smiled sinisterly: "Quai Dao, you Are you sleepy stupid, this kind of pillow can scare you like this?"

Kuaidao probably also realized that he had lost 303's face, and rubbed his face in a hurry: "Isn't it because I met such a thing as soon as I woke up, it's really bad luck."

The butcher smiled and inserted two fingers into the two eye sockets of the skull, and raised it casually: "Yes, this thing is quite unlucky."

"Tu... Butcher, don't move!" Kuaidao's voice changed, and his face turned even paler.

The people on our side were not much better either, Lao Yan took a deep breath and quickly pulled everyone back.Immediately there was a bang, and the skull exploded from the middle. The butcher, who hadn't reacted yet, was stunned for a moment, and the fingers stuck on the skull were immediately dripping with blood.

Ye Xing, who had been making it hard to see his face, hastily pulled the butcher away, took out a bottle of medicine that was supposed to stop bleeding, poured it into the butcher's hand, and quickly wrapped his hand into a rice dumpling.

The skulls that were blown into pieces were scattered around, telling the story of this change.

"Why, how could there be explosives here?" Liu Hanqiu's tongue was tied.

That's right, when the butcher lifted the skull just now, he realized that what was attached to the skull was a low-quality explosive. After he pulled it out, the fuze was inexplicably ignited by sparks that had not been completely extinguished. It exploded with a snap.

I glanced at Liu Hanqiu suspiciously, and then frowned. His expression did not seem to be fake, that is to say, he didn't know anything about the explosives.

Also, if they buried it, why did he signal the butcher to come forward to solve it?

But where did the dynamite come from? This thing is not like other things. The ancients couldn't make it.Although gunpowder was invented as early as the Sui Dynasty, the appearance of this explosive is obviously the craftsmanship of the past two years, and someone must have buried it here.

But what is the other party doing here to bury this small dose of explosives?

The butcher was injured in the center of the explosion. For people like us who lick blood from the knife edge, this kind of injury is nothing, and even rest is not needed, so if you want to harm someone, the explosives are not enough. Well, it was just a prank at best.

But isn't such a prank a bit too abnormal?
Everyone's complexion changed. We and the people from 303 stood on one side, staring at the center of the explosion, our expressions were all gloomy.

"Xiaoqiu, can you tell what kind of explosives it is?" Lao Yan asked with a very bad expression, being slapped a few times under his nose, his patience was completely exhausted.I can imagine that if the person who buried the explosives dared to appear around him, he would definitely be slapped to death by him.

Ms. Qiu sneered: "It's just a shoddy gadget. I can squeeze out a few at random. What makes me wonder is why it is buried here? If the place where we light the fire is a bit higher, the explosives will not have any effect at all." function, which means that this person knows that we are here to build a fire, which means that this person should be among us."

She glanced at everyone, and her suspicious eyes swept over everyone in 303.

"Hehe, you said just now that you can pinch a few of these explosives at will, Miss Qiu, do you have to give us an explanation for this matter?" Zhang Kong said with a half-smile.

I glanced at Miss Qiu with a sad face, really, I still have to show off in this situation, come on, now I'm suspected, right?
Ms. Qiu was more aggressive than I imagined, without raising her eyelids, she said, "My old lady, I can kill people, do you want to see?"

Changkong was choked by her, his face darkened, he quickly adjusted to that wise look, stared at Miss Qiu and said indifferently: "Since you said that people are between us, it can be seen that everyone is in love with each other." Suspected, so everyone has to prove their innocence, there is no objection to this, right?"

What he said was not offensive at all, and he didn't deliberately pick out their people, so it's hard to say even if we have objections.Although we have long distrusted each other internally, this kind of face-saving project still needs to be done at this time. Otherwise, with Liu Hanqiu's character, he will not know how to arrange us when he returns to Yanjing.

Lao Yan only nodded coldly, and asked how they plan to prove it?

"It's actually very simple. We slept together yesterday. Anyone who got up in the middle of the night must have known something. The explosives were most likely buried after we fell asleep. Otherwise, the location would not be so accurate, so... Who got up in the middle of the night yesterday? It's better to stand up by yourself." Zhang Kong glanced at the people present, and when he came to me, he paused briefly. Although it was concealed, I also knew that he should have seen me get up before. I knew instantly in my heart that I couldn't hide it.

Just when I was about to stand up, Yazai suddenly said: "This is so weird, I fell asleep in the middle of the night, why do you all know who is moving, are you rats, you don't sleep in the middle of the night Just staring at others? Besides, you are all staring at others, why don’t you know who buried the explosives.”

What he said made me enlightened. Even if Changkong saw me getting up, he must not have seen the whole process, otherwise he would have shaken the fourth girl out.Yazai was right, if they were really watching the whole time, then they should be the ones who should be most suspicious.

Just thinking of the fourth girl, my heart skipped a beat. Chang Kong’s words were not wrong. The explosives could only be buried here after we fell asleep, and it was possible to bury explosives under our noses without anyone noticing it. I think there are only four girls.

Although I don't want to doubt him, once the seed of doubt is planted, I can't get rid of it. The more I think about it, the more reasonable it becomes. Otherwise, what would Fourth Miss do to wake me up and say such a few meaningless words?
But I still don't understand why he insisted on waking me up when he could not alarm anyone.He won't be unclear, as long as the explosives are pulled out, I will definitely suspect him.

It's just that I can't say anything at this time, because I don't know what the fourth girl means, and I don't know what he wants to do. Speaking rashly will only make things worse.

Just when my heart was fluctuating, I suddenly felt Yazai's gaze.My heart suddenly thumped, yes, others don’t know, but Yazai knows that I got up last night, and he also knows that I’ve been up for a long time, so will he doubt me too? Are you covering me?

I was a little afraid to look him in the eyes, of course I wasn't guilty, I just didn't dare.I am not afraid of other people's suspicions, but I am most afraid of this kind of gaze cast on me by my comrades-in-arms who have a lifelong friendship.

"Chang'an, what are you doing?" Yazai added suddenly: "I don't have a crush on you, why are you so shy?"

I looked up at him in surprise, only to see that there was only questioning in his eyes, without the slightest doubt in my imagination, my heart was instantly relieved, and I replied jokingly at the moment: "Don't say it, just your delicate skin and tender flesh." If you really have a crush on the young master, the young master reluctantly agrees."
