Mantra

Chapter 240
To burn the snake, the corpse must be completely buried, so as to comply with the quarantine and disinfection regulations, and to completely reassure me.

But just as I was shoveling up the snake corpse with an engineering shovel and preparing to bury it, I accidentally bumped into a hard and brittle thing between the snake bones.

The foreign body feeling from the shovel in my hand is very obvious, and that feeling is also different from the hardness of the snake's bones.

I squatted down vigilantly, and used the tip of the shovel to pull out the foreign object I touched from the charred black corpse of the big snake.

It was a pottery urn made of black pottery, and it was not damaged by the flames. There were many holes of different sizes on the top and bottom of the pottery urn, but the holes had been filled with carbonized snake tissue, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

After taking a look, I immediately realized that this was clearly the same thing as the black pottery "sieve urn" that Xian Hongye found from the "dead man's shell"!

And it is completely different from the previous empty jars. Because of my shovel, this "sieve urn" has a gap in the middle of the black pottery, and some unknown liquid is seeping out.

I stared at the glue-like viscous liquid, and suddenly realized that there was "goods" in this thing, which made me a little uneasy and a little excited.

I feel that this earthenware urn is exactly the same as those in the human corpse. Obviously, it was also a part of the human body before. I don't know how long ago, it happened to be swallowed by the golden-scaled snake, so it can be completely preserved until now.

The most important thing is that this urn was "a blessing in disguise" after being swallowed by a snake. It was not calcified by stalactites, nor was it corroded by water vapor. Judging from the liquid that flowed out of it, it was not guaranteed that the things it contained were not lost due to time and years. and disappear.

Facing such an important discovery, my heart throbbed, and I hurriedly shoveled up the "sieve urn" with a shovel to pick up Xian Hongye, and Lin Shaosong called everyone over.

After all the personnel arrived, I raised the shovel in my hand and explained the source of the thing to everyone, and finally asked Xian Hongye: "What do you do after looking at it? Should you open it first and have a look, or burn it or bury it?"

Xian Hongye is a very cautious person, but she has been engaged in literature and history, so she is naturally sensitive to antiques. Most importantly, the "antique" in front of her can be called an important clue, which can complement the previous four jars lack of.Maybe it will also give us an idea of ​​what the "Helambers" were doing with them hundreds of years ago.

With this anticipation, Xian Hongye asked me to put the "glue" pottery urn in a glass jar for collecting specimens, and then put on gloves, anti-splash eyes and respirator, fully armed like a cyborg , before starting to examine this brand new discovery.

Following the cracks I broke open with a shovel, Xian Hongye used tweezers to poke away this strange jujube-shaped pottery bit by bit. Every time she peeled off a little bit, some of the jelly-like substance was exposed. The reason for the grilling is that the whole ball of jelly is still steaming, like a glutinous rice ball just out of the pan.

As Xian Hongye peeled off pieces of the black pottery altar, the "glutinous rice balls" inside gradually leaked out. And as the whole thing "came out", to put it bluntly...that thing almost took all of us present. The people are all sick to death.

Xian Hongye used tweezers to pinch the "glue" out of the "sieve urn" with the size of a baby's hand, more like a transparent creature similar to a jellyfish, and inside it was a white core the size of a thumb belly. Viewed as a whole , similar to milk lychee, but if you look closely, you can still see the blood vessels and white lines in the milky white "lychee meat", which are like parasites.

Looking at the "monster" in the black clay pot, I felt disgusted and curious at the same time.

The things in the sieve urn hundreds of years ago are strangely shaped like a sarcoma, and if they are not intact, they are no longer "original goods".The most disgusting thing is that it is still a living thing, completely unexpected to everyone.It is even more impossible to understand what the discovery of this "monster" means.

After looking at it for a long time, Xian Hongye shook his head at us and said, "I can't see what this is? Which one of you is good, let's keep an eye on it."

I walked over to look at the "corpse" of that thing, and suggested helplessly: "This thing has blood vessels and a nucleus, it is obviously a living thing, let's cut it up and have a look, maybe you will know what it is after cutting it open gone."

"Cut it open..." Xian Hongye frowned for a while, then handed me the tweezers and gloves and said, "Chef Tian, ​​come here!"

"I?"

"Who is it if it's not you!" Xian Hongye said unhappily: "Among all the people, only you, the cook, has experience in dissection. If you don't come, who will come? You can't let A Mao and A Gou do these things!"

Xian Hongye's words made me feel a lot of pressure, and also made me feel wronged.

To be honest, I am a cook, and I have also "cured" pork, beef, and mutton, but I have never touched such a disgusting "monster". You can't let me do such a disgusting thing just because I am a cook.

But there is some truth to what they said, because I am really worried about letting the Thai brothers do this thing. These two dare to eat anything, and they like to eat it raw.

In desperation, I sighed, put Xian Hongye's set of "three defenses" on my body one by one, then took out the dagger I carried with me, and prepared to "paoding solve the monster".

I didn't have a scalpel or a kitchen knife. After thinking about it, I took out the dagger again and used it as a planing tool, but it always felt awkward.

After slightly adjusting my mentality, I lightly inserted the dagger into the flesh of the "lychee" and cut it further along the blood vessels, and a stream of water and heat flowed out of the "plastic shell" instantly.

Looking at the hot water, I suddenly realized that although this thing escaped the catastrophe because of the protection of the "sieve urn", it was basically "steamed" under the action of high temperature. Gas mask, but I can still smell a faint scent.

It's like... some kind of precious aquatic product.

After the lychee-like little "monster" was blistered, the white "soil" was quickly exposed. It was a spherical bug with a strange appearance, a hard white hard shell, and four eyes.

Looking at the four-eyed spherical monster, I immediately slapped my head and shouted: "I know! This thing is called a 'carp monster', and it is an edible parasite!"

Except for me, no one present knew what kind of "monster" this was, so they all shook their heads.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, I immediately made a move, Wenxian Hongye asked for tweezers, separated the "round" strange insect from the middle, and said to everyone: "As I guessed, this round one is not a There should be two bugs!"

Following my words, the round worm really turned into two beetles, each forming a semicircle, and the two worms joined together, a bit like a buckled turtle.After separation, they are more like the beetle "rat woman" that can be seen everywhere.

The real body of this "carp monster" was revealed.
